Considering how humanity is reduced to vehicles for the aliens, does it really matter anymore?
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatYes, because the book is about Wanda coming to understand that they're destroying human culture by possessing them and trying to ape it, and that it's wrong to do what these aliens have been doing. It's wrong because we don't know what her host body would have thought. And also it's squicky because she never gave her boyfriend the option to decide whether or not he was okay with having sex with an underage body, basically because she knew he wouldn't be okay with it.
ophelia, you're breaking my heartWhy are we trying to debate a housewife's sex dreams made public?
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatI dunno. Why are you in this thread?
ophelia, you're breaking my heartWhy are any of us here? You, me, what possible reason could there be to see this movie?!
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatWhy do we put ourselves through this?
ophelia, you're breaking my heartThe girl is pretty much a vegetable which is why they allowed Wanda to use her body at all. At that point I don't think it matters what the girl would think since that's essentially Wanda's body for the rest of her life.

Well, only a few days away from the end of this long chapter in teen history.
And the only reason I'm vaguely interested in it is because I heard that the ending has been changed.
Looking for some stories?I'll bet Meyer flipped her shit over that. She hates it when the movies change anything in her precious little wank-fantasy.
It has?! Oh, if it's a change for the better, I might just have to go to church next Sunday.
RISEYep, apparently the stars of the movie haven't even seen this new ending...despite acting in it? Whatever.
Kristen Stewart really likes it a lot. Apparently, it "throws you for a loop, even if you were expecting it."
Perez Hilton loses what's left of his dignity by referring to her as Stewartie.
It was well liked at the premiere. Apparently, people were also given gold wristbands and the after-party had live wolves for some reason...also, in the side there: They're making a Mac Gyver movie?!??
Side note: I never thought I'd ever search for so much Twilight related stuff in my life.
EDIT: Something useful! A Twilight wiki entry on this very subject! THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE BATTLE OCCUR!
WHY AM I SO EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Is that last one really news? I haven't read the books, so maybe you're referring a different battle, but all the trailers I've seen show a lot of vampires and werewolves attacking each other.
Are there reviews up? It hits the cinema on the 16th of November (15th here in Korea).

All night at the computer, cuz people ain't that great. I keep to myself so I won't be on The First 48Yeah we can guess that based solely on the trailer. To answer your other point the books don't have a battle. They just kind of stand there glaring at each other and talking things out for about fifty pages.
@Not seeing the ending: It could just be that some of them don't appear in it so only those that do know what happens. I'm kind of curious about what they'd do.

15 reviews on Rotten tomatoes. 13 positives. just gonna throw that out.
So it manages to actually be a half-way decent movie with a proper climax instead of a talk-fest?
Still not going to see it, but it's nice to know the filmakers are trying to salvage something out of the books.
I would think they read the script, though, so they'd at least know what happens in it...
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.I don't know if they did this but I know the show LOST only included the last few pages of the season 5 finale script for those that were appearing in the scene. They could have done something similar here to prevent people from spoiling it.

Makes sense, I suppose...still, I'd think there'd be some stipulation preventing the people involved from spoiling it anyway, if not at least bad PR for the spoiler.
Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.Stuff can be leaked online anonymously. The fewer people that know about this the less likely it is to happen.
My brothers have arrived back.
Apparently, there is a huge battle scene, IN WHICH TWO CULLENS DIE FUCK YEAH. UNFORTUNATELY NOT EDWARD AND BELLA.
But then it's all just a dream.
BULL. FUCKING. SHIT.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!
There's only one really creepy thing about it... The protagonist is an alien who lives in people's bodies. She switches to a comatose girl's body, and then has sex with her boyfriend without telling him her body is underage.
ophelia, you're breaking my heart
