    Pshhh, I get the same hair from careful pillow placement.

    • A Random Pooka says:

      Yeah, for all that money on Robert Pattinson, you’d think they’d buy him some hot. He’s about a nasty scrawny little dirtbag with bed head.

      At least Taylor Lautner is hot, but Ashley Greene beats them both hands down.

    • Madeline says:

      the big red part should be changed to gliter :P

  2. sane person says:

    Me thinks all these “twilight” graphs stem more from jealousy than anything else.

    • Sarah says:

      Me thinks not. What aspect of Twilight should make me jealous? Definitely not the casting, special effects or storyline. The profits, maybe.

      • A Random Pooka says:

        Come on, the wolves were pretty well done. Better than what I can do on my PC. Though I do want to make Calvin and Hobbes models for Unreal 3 now …

        • blue_destiny says:

          I would have to disagree… Personally, I really didn’t like the way the werewolves were designed…

          in the trailer of the movie… where… uhm… whoever that guy was, turned in to a werewolf…. my first thought was: Lol, that looks more like firefox than a wolf…

          I never read the book, nor did i bother watching the movie… so I wouldn’t know the story or if there’s a reason why the werewolves in that universe look like large dogs. But for me, I would have preferred it if the werewolves looked more like the ones from Underworld (the typical werewolf image)

          • amy says:

            I don’t think they’d put that kind of wolf in a cheesy romance story aimed at girls.

            • blue_destiny says:

              hmm… now that you mentioned it… yes I agree… when I made that comment, I wasn’t thinking about the target audience …

              but I still say they should have made the wolves a little more intimidating than that

          • Alex says:

            The wolves looked funny and were too ‘swishy’ to be anything canine.

            • Cristina says:

              Loved the wolves, just wished there was some gore. The only interesting part of the film would be when Edgay gets his ass somewhat handed to him. Even that was a bit lame. Should have ripped his arm off and started hitting him with it.

              It’s not like they follow the novel’s plot properly anyway.

          • eowyn-ut says:

            you find out in the last book of the series that they’re actually shapeshifters (that happen to shift into dogs), not werewolves.

    • SparrowsBite says:

      Anything that stupid that makes that much money makes me jealous, yes. It also makes me mourn slightly for mankind, but that’s another story.

    • random chick!!! says:

      I TOTALLY agree with you!!!!!! people just need to stop hating on twlight and get themselfs a life!!!! if they really hated it as much as they say they do, then they would try and avoid all of it instead of posting stupid comments about it!!!!!

      • reeface says:

        We’ll stop “hating on twlight” when all the twi-tards stop going ballistic at people who dislike “twlight”, and have read enough real books to realise that “twlight” is not the most amazing book in the world (or anything close).

        • rosegirl says:

          @reeface,
          TOTAL AGREEMENT!!! @random chick! the only reason we keep posting “stupid” comments is because you guys WON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND IT’S DRIVING US CRAZY!!! Go read some Harry Potter if you want a good book. THEN you can come back and tell us what you think. KTHXBAI.

  3. Tah says:

    They forgot “glitter.”

  4. lorna says:

    I love Twilight, but this is just soo true. dont like robert pattinson

  5. italianspy says:

    where did the random button go??? :(

  6. Harriet says:

    I love Twilight but im sane enough to admit this is soo true!! Kristen Stewart sucks at acting and she isnt at all as i imagined bella!! and yes Pattinson is terrible as well..i mean ditch the Jedward quiff

    • amy says:

      I love the story too but I have to agree. I didn’t notice her awful acting in the first movie (maybe i was too into the story or drunk?.) But when I saw the 2nd one I was left wondering if her character was SUPPOSED to act that stupid; if her character actually acted like that in the book or if it was just her sucking. I came to the conclusion it had to be her because it was so awful.

    • Yeah! says:

      Very true. I imagined Bella as actually having a personality. Clearly, I was wrong. It’s supposed to be a romance, shouldn’t there be a little more passion in the acting?

  7. Garfield says:

    is it just me or are people starting to judge the Twilight movies by their actual cinematic value (terrible, by the by) instead of the concept? (also hate the entire concept) VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE >:(

    • Alex says:

      You say that as if legends were a consistent thing. Every time I see a new representation of a legendary creature, there is something different.

      As long as it drinks blood, it is a enough of a vampire to me. Being vulnerable to the sun is as much an invention as shining on it.

      • John says:

        i think the only vampire who is awesome and dosent have to deal with the sun is Alucare from the Hellsing anime and manga series

    • rosegirl says:

      another anti-sparkle…THANK YOU!!!

    • Yeah! says:

      Personally, I think the whole sparkling thing is stupid too, but guess what? VAMPIRES AREN’T REAL!!! Therefore, anyone who writes a book about vampires can modify the qualifications of being a vampire slightly, as long as said vampire still drinks blood.

  8. Claire says:

    Oh, ha ha ha.

    Stupid haters. >:(

    • anon says:

      and why do you like twilight?
      is it because that i alows you to play out your fantasies onscreen in the place of bella, or is it the fact that bad acting and poorly written script is the norm these days?
      im willing to bet that you also enjoyed the bratz movie because it let you think that you could do nothing but get implants in 48% of your body and shop all day and night without a job getting cash from daddy, but not thinking of the after effects of your whole body sagging to the ground when you hit 40 and the fact that daddy cant supply you with cash for your entire life and every man wants a girl with a nice body but also some personallity and bella fails in both respects.

      • Zersk says:

        Your forgetting the book. Bad writing, flat characters, Mary Sues aplenty. The vampires make no sense, the main characteris an Anti-Sue, and apparantly, the Edward/Bella relationship is better than say, the Buttercup/Thatguythatshewasinlovewith, because Edward’s “perfect”. The ending of the first book was anticlimactic, the minor characters are idiots, the main character is annoying, their relationship would be known as emotionally abusive in real life, the second book was just plain emo. They got Forks wrong, they got the Natives of that area’s mythology wrong, and got vampires wrong, they got werewolves wrong, they got literature wrong, and they jaywalked.

        They jaywalked. Something I can never forgive them for.

  9. Wut says:

    If it wasn’t so absolutely terrible, there wouldn’t be so much hate…

    • A Random Pooka says:

      It’s not absolutely terrible. It’s not very good either. It’s middle of the road and doesn’t deserve too very much argument one way or the other. Generic entertainment. If you don’t like it, watch/read something else and STFU. If you do like it, watch or read it, and STFU

  10. Kendra says:

    I just can’t take something serious when little girls teen’s and old women looking to cling to their youth and the 17 year old boys in it like it(not all of them mind you im talking about the twilight army or whatever they are called lol) and not so much that they just like it but they are freakin mental about it.God forbid you give a opinion about the acting and the overall horrible story line lol

  11. TheGuyWhoMadeThis says:

    Okay, let’s see.

    Edward lives in a forest.
    He sparkles.
    Plus, he doesn’t hurt humans.

    He’s not a vampire, he’s a fairy!

    • CantonDem says:

      Months ago, I would have said the same thing. Then I started reading some good urban fey books.

      Now I think that’s just an insult to the whole fey concept. My new theory? They’re golems. (They’re made of marble for some reason, right?)

  12. Carys says:

    This graph is full of WIN! The books were good (not great, but good), but the movies were just plain terrible. And what makes it worse is that most people think its such an awesome movie, when its not. I, unfortunately, have to listen to all my friends talk about how much they love the movie, when the truth is that they block out the bad acting and storyline, and just sit gaping at the actors.

  13. Meghan says:

    Uhmm. Does anyone else notice that if you look at the graph a certain way it looks like it’s moving? Or is that just me?

    • David says:

      Please pass me whatever you’re smoking.

      Also, twilight is about a superawesomeromanticwhatever guy, who is totally in love with a girl who has such an empty character, that every girl can imagine herself in the story. duh, of course the books sell good, teenage girls have a weakness for romantic pulp. Personally i couldn’t take any more after the first 5 pages, I had my share of cliches for the coming five years…

      Trees, you wasted them twilight… BURN IN HELL!

      • Justeen says:

        You may just be really stressed out. Its be prooven that looking at certain pictures while you are stressed causes them to move.

        And excuse me but I find that insulting! I can’t stand overly sappy romance stuff. I only read Twilight because of the vampires/werewolves in it and even then I had to question why I was reading it. That aside, I couldn’t stand Edward. He was a complete wimp and whiny for that matter. Plus, vampires aren’t suppose to sparkle or be that nice.

        • David says:

          Okay, you made your point. Clearly I should have said ‘the majority of teenage girls’. But thanks for being awesome, the world needs you and more of you :D

          And I totally agree with the vampire-thing. Vampires are NOT supposed to sparkle or be nice AT ALL. You should be in awe when you see one, and not in love…

  14. anon says:

    actually my friends and i have formed the unofficial twilight haters asscosiacion but thanks to the fangirls (and boys) we are only 3 strong. the worst ppart is ma best mate scince primary 3 (about 4th grade) is OMG TWILIGHT!!!!!! and hes a guy…. i hate this world so very much

  15. Jean says:

    Kristen Stewart… is a good actress. It’s just the character of Bella that sucks. She did the empty character justice by acting empty. I do agree about Rpatz’s hair product cost, though.

  16. Christylol says:

    Seriously, if Bella were my daughter, I’d ground her for life. She’s the biggest more bumbling fool there ever was. I read the first book and by the end of it, I was praying that Edward would slip and suck her dry. Good heavens that girl is an idiot in the book. I never could bring myself to read the others, and I REFUSE to see the movies.

  17. Nic says:

    Nah, they don’t need hair products. All that grease is natural, baby.

  18. buffy says:

    ACTUALLY, what he did t get his hair that way was not shower for a couple months. then he used his “all natural oils” to get that all gay look.

  19. RJ says:

    Never has so much been written about so little.

  20. Frausti says:

    I’m surprised to see so many people agreeing with me on the they’re not vampires they’re fey, VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE. I was practically forced to watch the first half hour of the first movie in English class because one student and the teacher are such big fans, in the first five minutes I could tell this would ruin the entire vamp v. werewolf genre. And it’s possible to have decent movies/shows with vampires in love(Moonlight, Queen of the Damned)Twilight is just crap

  21. Michael says:

    Kristen Stewart’s acting lessons cracked me up.

  22. Alex says:

    I think they spent more on the colored contacts than anything else. The wolves were poorly CGed at best, and everything else was just terrible.

    Also, I wanted to cry at Edward shirtless. He’s scrawny and pale and hairy. GROSS. More Jacob please. Long-haired Jacob, I mean. In fact just have long-haired Jacob standing around shirtless. Nothing else.

  23. Not Sure says:

    One can only begin to imagine the numerous cold showers the actors probably take ever so often. ;)

  24. gia says:

    What hairproducts? His “hair” usually looks like a rats’ nest.

  25. Veronica says:

    If i ever had to make the choice of meeting kristen stewart or reading any of the twilight books, i would rather kill myself

  26. Gadrean says:

    EPIC WIN!!!!!!!
    LOLOLOLOL

  27. dfgd says:

    Man… I wish I would’ve thought about taking some crappy vampire fanfic and publishing it into a book before Stephanie Meyer did. Have to admit, she’s a genius. A horrible writer, but a genius. She’s now a multi millionaire.

  28. Alicia says:

    Kristen Stewart cant act for anything, i cant stand her

  29. Tyranitar says:

    I have three comments.

    *Those were wolves? They looked like puppies.
    *Thats alot more than they spent on any of the cast’s acting lessons.
    *Who knew they spent that much on pillows and balloons for Roberts hair.

  30. Lillia Granges says:

    That is just totally harsh… STOP BEING MEAN TO ROBERT PATTINSON… even though he does bring shame to Edward with his ugliness… Go Team Jacob!

  31. herefornoreason says:

    Vampires shouldn’t sparkle, now if you excuse me, I’m going to watch cool vampires like Spike and Angel (why name a vampire Angel, weird)

  32. Anon says:

    NO I AM NOT A TWIHARD, but this is not accurate. None of the werewolves were airbrushed nor CGI’d. Kristen acts in other things than just Twilight and New Moon, and she is very good at it. Anyone see “The Yellow Handkerchief”? Or…”The Runaways”?? HMM? So think before you Make a graph this Stupid. You don’t have to make a graph like this just because you hate something. and no, i did not protest on the hair thing, because they did have to use lots of hair stuff to make his like Edwards.

  33. Missy says:

    I a twilight fan &it is so true!!!!

  34. Emma says:

    LOL!!!!!! I LOVE the Twilight saga sooooo much, and i still find this graph funny & true!!!!!!! Well…. MOSTLY true for me!

  35. Me says:

    Don’t forget body glitter.

  36. alicecullen says:

    lol i’m a twilight fan and thats so true :D

  37. maeglet says:

    Don’t forget the glitter!!!! there can never be too much glitter. (or so they think heh heh heh :P )

  38. rosegirl says:

    Edward is such an idiot. He was better as Cedric Diggory. May I refer you to another graph?
    http://cheezburger.com/View/4260244224
    Although, I have to say, there is no way Cedric and Edward are equal.

  39. Schouky says:

    She has the personality of a boiled potato

  40. Kit says:

    Agreed!

  41. Brinkley says:

    That’s an insult to boiled potatoes.

  42. Desi says:

    They don’t look like werewolves because they ARN’T werewolves, which you find out in the last book, they just call themselves that because its simpler. They are supposed to look like literal wolves, because the spirit of the Tribe’s ancestors shared a body with a wolf [for a long reason] and all of the man’s cilren had the ability to change into a wolf… not some sort of half breed creature, but a real wolf.

    Personally, they do look like wolves to me, just gigantor ones.

  43. blue_destiny says:

    ooooh! I see I see… well, that answers this part of my earlier post:

    “I never read the book, nor did i bother watching the movie… so I wouldn’t know the story or if there’s a reason why the werewolves in that universe look like large dogs”

    apparently, there is… and a pretty interesting one… thanks for the info Desi ^_^

  44. Yeah! says:

    Good answer, but explain what “cilren” are supposed to be. Children, maybe? Maybe an unfortunate typo? Don’t worry, I’m not the grammar nazi, I’m just confused. And this explanation is true; they are technically “shape-shifters” but come on, “werewolf” just sounds a lot cooler.

  45. Cristina says:

    There was actually a part of the budget allotted for acting lessons? Wow, who would have thought?
