@Starsapphire At least Twilight is darker and has a good villain.

@destroyer
gotta agree with you there. Plus Twilight has bad actors while Disney channel has super bad actors.

great interview ed. that definately seems to be a vast change from 30 days of night to twilight. like it or not they make a crap load of money and its a chance for the guy to reach a wider audience so good for him.

Dude seriously with the twilight crap on this site... PLEASE STOP!!!!

Yeah, when I uploaded the video it didn't give me a choice of the image, unfortunately. I would much rather have gone with a shot of Slade.

I thought what he said was interesting, and my hope is that Slade will bend the franchise towards his sensibilities rather than the opposite.

well Robert Pattinson is an anti-twilight fan so I gotta respect a fellow anti-twilight fan. here is a quote of his,
"When I read it I was convinced Stephenie was convinced she was Bella and it was like it was a book that wasn't supposed to be published. It was like reading her sexual fantasy, especially when she said it was based on a dream and it was like, 'Oh I've had this dream about this really sexy guy,' and she just writes this book about it. Like some things about Edward are so specific, I was just convinced, like, 'This woman is mad. She's completely mad and she's in love with her own fictional creation.' And sometimes you would feel uncomfortable reading this thing"

@anil
Aww your too soft. Twilight=a piece of shit covered in vomit which was eatten by a starving, flee ridden dog, then pooped out, ate by another dog, and that dog threw it up. Then some filty hobo came, used it as toilet paper and threw it in the trash along side of some dirty needles, trash blood and tears. That trashcan was then lit on fire and then put out with the tears of the starving children who we could have saved with the money used to print this god awful book. lol

Well, again, I feel that given his background, Slade has legitimacy to him.

slade is a good director. i just dont know why he decided to do twilight. and with the clips ive seen so far, it looks just as bad as the other films. which is concrete evidence that its not the directors, its the sh*tty story and the unbelieveably horrible actors that make these films the crapfest that they are.

flames809 - 6/2/2010, 2:03 PM

Twilight is LAME! & not a comic book. Twilight is so awful. It's anticlimax to the 10th degree. The books suck & the movies are almost exactly like the books, which makes them just as bad.
