Since they were pimping out the vampires with bling skin, they should have put some 22 dubs on them bitches while at it. Give them a nice cream candy coated paint job, throw in a sound system, and boom, you got a vampire pimper than eddie murphy.

well i respect all the people who like this kind of movie.. but for me is bunch Cr!@#@!#P .... In my opinion Dark Knight the best

fixed.

14.Bella teaches women to let the man handle everything, which pretty much is a huge step backward for women everywhere, who have fought for equality.

lol ya cause there arent million of woman out there that already live like this. Bella is causing the step backward haha

If you dont like it dont post, i quite liked the first film and im looking forward to this one.

So basically if we don't have a positive thought on the film don't post our opinion and express ourselves? Gotcha.

I can't understand the Twilight craze personally. Perhaps I'd give the movies more of a chance if they had cast better actors.

Seeing as how the third one is going to be directed byt he same guy who did 30 Days of Night it might not be all that bad.

I don't hate Twilight - but it is kind of pointless. We have become a simple audience and if you love Twilight then I'm sorry but you are easily pleased. There are so many better films out there from the past, ones that actually make you think witness an art.

Most people now days are guided by mainstream culture, its not their fault. Its the money making industry that has developed, and ours for being so simple we all buy into it because we are so bored with our stupid lives. (me included)

It's called escapism mate. Nothing wrong with enjoying a "simple" film. I enjoyed Transformers immensely and it's giant robots beating the **** out of each other. I also greatly enjoyed Moon. There are still artful films and still ones a lot of people enjoy. Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a bit of escapist cinema.

And as Rappy pointed out, this movie was showing on over FOUR THOUSAND screens. Of course it's going to make a crap load of money. Hell, 500 people going to watch that movie and paying 8 dollars each, which is low, will net about 16 million in revenue - 500 people isn't a hell of a lot. Really, we can't bitch about teen age girls not wanting to watch an artistic film.

Remember that movie from 1927? Wings? Yeah. It wasn't high art either. It isn't just a generational thing.

I've never seen these films but seen loads of trailers and they just don't appeal to me, that actor who plays the lead vampire (no idea of his name) is one strange looking man. Apparently girls swoon over him :blink:

i got dragged to see it y'day. Didnt really get it tbh, nothing really happened, and seemed a depressing film, seemed like the girl could cut her self at any moment, dont think she smiled once even when he was with the vamp, and the vamp looked like he was gona cry every time he kissed her lol.

If this broke boxoffice records why does the film industry say that no1 goes to the cinema any more as they pirate everything now?lol

Hmm?

Twilight is certainly not my taste in movies, i prefer action movies preferably war or war related set in modern time but i dont have a problem with WW2 setting, that said i liked Twilight, all this bashing is boring.

I didn't go to see it this weekend mainly because I didn't want to fight the crowds and mostly because every showing was sold out this week at my local theater. My wife has already started up, wanting me to take her to see it so I guess I will soon do just that to keep the peace.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
