Well Reptile and Rouge, Can you compare Twilight to  "Lifeforce" and "The Hunger"? i mean for The Hunger they both feature the same kind of vampire that walks in the sunlight without being killed, both immortality, being new-age beautiful people, both have no fangs but sharp as blades teeth because they are Egyptian etc. only difference is The Hunger's didn't sparkle in the sunlight. And for "Lifeforce" comparisions, both deal with vampires that aren't like the normal kind as one is an alien species and the Volturi (Some members) have the same powers as some of the Volturi are Psi-vampries who drains victims of their youth/energy/lifeforce/soul instead of their blood.

Do you think Lifeforce has an interesting Sci-fi take on the vampire myth? i mean do you like the idea that the aliens in the movie are of an ancient race of vampires that visited Earth before and became the ancestors/origin to our vampire legends, nice idea right? and do you like how teh vampires aren't like the same kind of vampire as they have no fangs and no drinking blood but are more on Psi-vampires (a.k.a. psychic vampires or energy vampires)? or do you think the vampires in Lifeforce ARE MORE vampire than Twilight's ones?

And do you think Twilight is almost the same flick like "Sleepwalkers"? i mean both deal with an odd small town with teen girls like Tanya and Bella who fall in love with a "oddball" vampire like Charles and Edward Cullen as they reveal their secrets to the girls and even their mothers are oddball vampires as well. The vampires in Sleepwalkers are also like the Volturi and Lifeforce space vampires on stealing energy/souls/youth/lifeforces instead of blood.

Did you know there are many species of vampires in the world as not everyone of them burns in the sun and some that suck out youth/souls/energy/lifeforces instead of blood like Psi-vampires (a.k.a. Psychic vampires or energy vampires) like Asian vampires?

I'm assuming Titanic and Twilight are the same love story. I did saw Eclipse in a sneek preview and it was DEFINELTY the most  man-friendly movie in the series. The werewolves are unique but do you know they are based on Native-American werewolves? and the Volturi kicked some ass this time.

Julia is a fine chick in this movie but i hate how Rachelle was replaced as Victoria with Bryce, Bryce doesn't look right and is cuter as a blonde.

Do you Rachelle's Victoria was probably the hottest vampiress villain to hit the screen since Miriam from Hunger, Space Vampiress from Lifeforce, Regine from Fright Night part 2, Lilith from Bordello of Blood, Ingrid Pitt from Vampire Lovers, Katrina from Vampires, and others? but she is better than ugly Katrina from 1986's Vamp whom Grace Jones played.

Come on folks, give Jacob some support. he's a REAL MAN compared to Edward Cullen because he doesn't sparkle in the sunlight and real men don't sparkle, he's tough and loves to fight instead of being weepy and a total sissy like Edward. Jacob is everything we dudes want to be including idolize as he can get all the ladies while Edward is just a pathetic diamond boy that should be a living museum exhibit.

So you seen The Keep (1983)? that was a vampire movie did you know that including the novel? the Golem creature is a vampiric creature that is a Psi-vampire just like the Volturi and the old nazi in the film was the ancestor to every vampire of legend.

But is it me or are the Volturi similar to Count Magnus Lee or Mier Link from the Vampire Hunter D movies? i mean they have the same kickass powers. Do you also like Vampirella comics? they have the same Sci-fi vampire legend concept that i think both "Space Vampires" (book) and "Lifeforce" got the idea from about how the vampires of legend were born from aliens from Drakulon where Dracula was really an alien. If you like Sci-fi vampire movies check out "Daybreakers", "Perfect Creature", "Planet of the Vampires" and "Not of this Earth (1957 version can be seen on youtube as well as 1988 and 1995)".

I have this crazy theory about Twilight's vampires. Hey! what if they are actually alien vampires from another planet (Vampirella comics like) as they landed on Earth from a dying planet as they became the inspiration to vampires. Could it be possible they are aliens from a planet?

Who? When? Where? What exactly did they say? The most I've heard is some of them bemoaning about the fact that some of the crazier Twilight fangirls think that they can actually turn into giant wolves.

Honestly, Smeyer could have pieced together her shifter concept out of any pop culture connection between animals and Native Americans and then combined it with the fact that nowadays you can't have a vampire story with copy pasting some werewolves into it. There's nothing distinctly from Quileute mythology that seems to be influencing the Meyer wolves other than the fact that "Wolves+Native Americans= werewolf!".

Doubtful. But why not?

Honestly, I pity Jacob after the end of Breaking Dawn.

The love slave of Bella Cullen's seven-year-old demon spawn....-shudders-

Out of everything that I disliked about Twilight, Imprinting still stands out as something that seems oddly terrifying in its ability to hollow out a person's personality to make them the perfect mate for whoever gets the luck of the genetic draw.

So you seen The Keep (1983)?

Nope.

But is it me or are the Volturi similar to Count Magnus Lee or Mier Link from the Vampire Hunter D movies?

I think that's just just you I don't really see the similarity...other than the fact that they're both kind of femmy.

Do you also like Vampirella comics?

I like the older ones, the latter ones were okay I guess.

If you like Sci-fi vampire movies check out "Daybreakers", "Perfect Creature", "Planet of the Vampires" and "Not of this Earth (1957 version can be seen on youtube as well as 1988 and 1995)".

Seen them all.

I read something like that somewhere on deviantart.

THERE'S A FEMALE WEREWOLF IN TWILIGHT!!!! Okay that was cool and new!!! (well maybe not new but...)

again for me I don't know if it's the fascination with wolves but the wolves storyline did it for me. A ++++. The fight scenes were awesome. You know they did a poll that said more guys are seeing this movie. (which I can see why they've added more stuff for guys and they took out much of the girly stuff. Not enough though in my opinion though.)

I didn't read teh book, so of course I nodded off and then was hyper awake when the action happened. I thought the redhead needed more of a role maybe some crying and cursing or some more dialogue. I'd have preferred the other girl, she was scary. Like old school parent that just looks at you and you know you better straighten up/stop the misbehaving real quick. Yeah I might see this again for the werewolves. This movie showed how BIG they were. I think the size of a horse. I ddint' pick that up as much in the 2nd movie as I did in this one. I give this an A-- b/c the lovey dovey was too much and I hattteeddd when they repeated the sammmmeee lines. (I love you, I love yooouuu) next scene (I lovee you, I loveee youuuu).

Yeah, but saying Eclipse is the best of the Twilight films is like saying that being shot point blank with a rocket launcher is the best possible way to die out of the choices of that or being stabbed in the face with a flaming pitchfork or being impaled through the neck with a chainsaw while being forced to watch Catwoman.

Ha! Nailed it in one.

I was beginning to think the world had gone crazy. Why is anyone even WATCHING these fricking pathetic excuses for movies?

Well, perhaps they are... this last movie has been the least profitable of the all three. We are going on the right way

I second that reason!

Besides, out of all the movies that I was looking forward to seeing Eclipse has been one of the best. Airbender had the right idea but some stuff needed redrafting. Okay so on this one I started to dozeeeee again, but everytime I was about to fall asleep an action scene would wake me up. Yeah so I liked the action scenes and come on the WEREWOLVES looked GREAT (okay so they were oversized wolves. My favorite scene was when they were on patrol and the wolves relieved the vampires from their post. They were scary looking but very very awesome looking and magnificent. I might buy a wolf for outside just because of that. yeah definitely buying this one, but i know I can just forward through the love stuff.

My best guess? Because they like them.

Then they need better meds!

*scampers and hides now?* I admittedly saw the film with my sister. I did like it at one time.  One of the key things I hate is choosing a *shudders* sparkly vampire, or vampire period over a werewolf.  Ick! I'd rather be hot than frigid.

I managed to suffer 35 minutes of this movie before I remembered a wall nearby that had been recently painted. It looked like a safer, more entertaining time waste to watch it.

By the looks Eclipse is 111 minutes of pure, unadulterated horrible.

you didn't seeeeee the movie. This is the best for guys to see. I've seen it 3 times now. Sorry but it's cool. The fight scenes are cool the dumb trio drama sucks but the action makes up for it. CG's gotten wayyyyy better.

yeah definitely buying on dvd.

ShadyHowl wrote:

I saaaaaaw enough to see that it sucked. CGI does not save crappy plot and poor acting.

This. I'm also excommunicating it from my personal list of werewolf movies.

So in other totally not related to werewolf movie news Predators disappointing in the extreme, it was a sad day for Reptile my friends.

Then why drink blood if none of it's in their bodies?

I think you anwered your own question there.


But seriously, you wonder about Vampires turning to stone but advise people to ignore the plotholes in Predators and just enjoy the show?
Does that strike only me as ironic.

I don't know, it was competently made and it had its moments. Like when the Tusked Predator made Lawerence Fishburne explode. It didn't feel like a complete waste of time, unlike Eclipse which felt like 180 minutes of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson jawing woodenly at each other about things I didn't care about.

Ah well, that was to expect from that movie, can hardly fault it to live up to the rest of the series.

Yeah but a lot of people are saying this is the best of the Twilight films and honestly the only notable difference between this film and the others is more expensive action set pieces.

yeah don't know what's gonna happen for boko 4 since the villian is dead.

(Sorry off forum topic) So do I need to skip seeing Predators? The look of the Predators are different? that sucks
