5 Things You Need To Know About Twilight

1 : The Books Are Popular . Very Popular . Sure , we ’re not talking Harry Potter levels yet – despite the many comparison that Twilight has drawn to the wizarding series , mostly because it ’s a popular new adult serial of novels that ’s surpass its objective audience – but 17 million book sale in the three class since the release of the first book is still nothing to be sneezed at , and the books have collectively topped the New York Times best seller list for near to a year . Face it ; more the great unwashed have read this than anything that prompt Iron Man . Not to put to much pressing on the movie , butpeople are already writing about the way in which Twilight The Movie unites women of all years in their lust for the franchise :

rent me introduce you to one of the most powerful new grouping in Hollywood . It ’s not a mathematical group of actors , producers or directors . It ’s the rather interesting hybrid demographic who are set out their knee breeches in a twist over Twilight , due to be free in the UK next month … teen girls , youthful female adults and their mums converged at the Twilight conference at Comic - Con back in July , filling Hall H to capacity and rupturing faucial tonsil at the show of their hunkalicious hero . Believe me , this demographic is out there . They just do n’t have a name yet .

They ’re naming themselves , however ; there are fansites calledTwilight Moms(and its related site , Twilight Teens – and alsoTwilight20Somethings , just in slip you do n’t match into either of the premature two ) as well as Team Jacob , Team Edward , Team Switzerland and even Team Twilightistamongst many othersout there , each one a demonstration of obsession with the novels ’ familiar tarradiddle of a boy , a young lady and the unuttered love that dare not utter its name . 2 : The Holy Writ Are n’t Very Good . Critical reception to Twilight , the first book in the series was marginally positive ( Booklist‘s “ There are some flaws here — a plot that could have been constrain , an overreliance on adjectives and adverbs to bolster dialogue — but this benighted Latinian language seep into the psyche ” being basically the tenor of most mainstream review ) , but each sequent rule book receive poorer reviews , with Breaking Dawn , the final book getting drubbings fromthe LA Times(“The trouble is Stephenie Meyer is no J.K. Rowling … We would have much prefer the whole thing to terminate in book three , “ Eclipse , ” with yes , some happiness for Bella , but also some angst , some heartbreak , and a sinister , minacious future tense looming”),Publisher ’s Weekly(“[G]randeur is out . This is n’t about happy endings ; it ’s about gratification ” ) andEntertainment Weekly(“[You’ll ] abruptly misplace all solitaire when … Meyer takes her supernatural dear story several bizarre steps too far ” ) . We may be biased , but sis situation Jezebelcame up with our favorite review :

Last Of Us 7 Ellie Crash

It ’s 754 pages long , its heroine ’s predominant personality trait is low self - regard , and , as Amazon reviewer Eventide taper out , nobody really has to give up anything . Even the tediousness of immortality is glossed over – these vampires just keep meddlesome with their hobbies . If I had an timelessness to read , I still might never pick up this book again .

3 : The author Can Be A Bit Of A Prima Donna . Although the Twilight serial officially finished with the fourth book , Breaking Dawn , there was a fifth book planned , Midnight Sun , that would ’ve retold the events of the first book from the hoagy ’s perspective . But then a first draft of the book ’s opening appeared on-line , and author Stephenie Meyerposted this response on her website :

I did not want my referee to receive Midnight Sun before it was finish , edited and write . I think it is authoritative for everybody to read that what encounter was a Brobdingnagian infringement of my right as an generator , not to note me as a human being … So where does this leave Midnight Sun ? My first notion was that there was no fashion to continue . Writing is n’t like math ; in math , two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like . With writing , the way you feel changes everything . If I tried to indite Midnight Sun now , in my current human body of mind , James would probably win and all the Cullens would die , which would n’t dovetail too well with the original story . In any character , I palpate too sad about what has happen to continue working on Midnight Sun , and so it is on hold indefinitely .

Mission Impossible 8 Underwater

( She ’s since recanted somewhat , telling Entertainment Weeklythat “ [ t]he suspect matter about that statement is I did n’t actually write the legal age of it … in the ending only the one or two sentences publish by me seem really jarring [ compare with everything else ] , and people did n’t get that there was sort of a joke in there . ” Midnight Sun , however , is still on hold . ) nevertheless , she ’s prevent a tight hold on the movie , only consort to the project in the first place when teeth size of it meet her blessing , and deliver terminal say on casting and the duration and passion of final clinches . “ It ’s been undecomposed for me just in ecumenical to have to speak up because I am so invested in this , ” she ’s explained .

4 : vino : vampire In Name Only . The lamia in the Twilight leger do n’t have elongate teeth , and they have no problem go out in day in their Pacific Northwest hometown , because it ’s so foggy ( I ca n’t tell if that ’s actually laughable or just a kind of crappy stratagem ) . They also , as almost every example of vampire fiction since , what , Anne Rice ’s Interview With A Vampire ( or maybe Marilyn Ross ’ Barnabas Collins ? ) , are tragic souls afflict by a oath that do n’t really desire to sink their tooth into world – and so , they feed animal and go on “ hunting trips ” to take concern of their bloodlust . Yes , it ’s the Pacific Northwest Hipster Rural Lifestyle turned peasant . Whatever happen to the good old solar day of Nosferatu and lamia who were secure to be vampires ? I mean , if they have his lividity , why ca n’t they have his mannerisms ? 5 : commend The Golden Compass . Summit Pictures , the studio behind the moviemay be flighty about enunciate that they ’ve come a hit on their hands ahead of the flick ’s release , but the movie is estimated to make somewhere between $ 20million and $ 50million in its first weekend , look on how optimistic your source are . It ’s worth think the fate of The Golden Compass , however ; last twelvemonth ’s “ The New Harry Potter ” had a similar amount of buzz pre - release , and a likewise impressive chess opening weekend … before audiences realized that the motion-picture show did n’t live up to the books . Ultimately , the motion-picture show was n’t successful enough to justify film the second of the three His Dark Materials novel . The same thing may happen to Twilight . The physique to keep in mind is rumored to be $ 150 million ; if Twilight gain less than that , you could forget about see New Moon , Eclipse or Breaking Dawn in theaters anytime soon . We can only hope . Twilight is unloosen in theaters November 21st .
