Imagine if you were an actor.

"Hey - great news! We want you to be the star male role, the love interest in what is sure to be a very, very profitable movie. We'll pay you millions and this could launch your career to super-star levels.

But, on the down side, people you don't know are gonna make fun of you; while their daughters and girlfriends (depending on the age) will want to you to bang them. Oh yeah - did I forget that part? Girls will line up for miles to bang you after this role."

What would you do?

"I have never understood fascination with vampires. People are obsessed and I don't know why."

Because their lives are empty and purposeless.

Flawed and ugly? That is 97.8% of the fan base! Sounds like we're good here.

Well... yeah.

I'm not sure what we're supposed to discuss here, he's expressed his opinion on this before, it was linked to FARK, and we all pretty much 100% agreed with him. The people making crap movies aren't necessarily ignorant of the fact that said movies are crap, it's a job, not a calling for 99.99999% of them (and 100% of them in the big-budget pictures, much as they enjoy playing pretend). They don't necessarily have an emotional attachment to the roles they play.

Dr J Zoidberg: The one reason I like the guy is because in an interview way back he basically trashed the author and the books, describing them as her sex fantasy. As someone else said, he's just a normal dude who was offered millions upon millions of dollars. Who cares if the role makes a bunch of internet people hate you. I'd take it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kristin Stewart likewise thought her characters was a schmuck.

Ishkur: "I have never understood fascination with vampires. People are obsessed and I don't know why."

Because all women subconsciously harbor rape fantasies. Dracula/vampires represent the ultimate sexual abduction, robbing their poor innocence in the most savage and dominating manner.

At least, that's my theory.

My understanding of the Twilight story is that Edward won't put out for Bella despite her trying until they're married which is why everyone calls him gay (I think). That's not exactly a rape fantasy. Although it is another form of chick porn where the guy just loves them so much that he wants to show his ultimate love and respect for her before desecrating her body. I'm pretty sure I heard the writer was a mormon, but I could be wrong, however, that would make sense.

Also, there's two sides to the rape fantasy. One is the idea that the guy wants them so badly that he must ravish her because she's so desirable (of course in reality she only wants this from someone who's hot and she trusts/knows). The other one is where a stranger attempts to rape her, but then doesn't actually end up going through with it because she ends up talking to him and finding out who he truly is in the process. They have a long talk and then he ends up falling in love with her/respecting her and she loves him too and then they have loving sex together or something.

Weird nonsense really.

Is this the guy that looks like he stopped a truck with his face?

I don't know anything about Twilight but used to see Burger King yard signs advertising this movie with a picture of this gad awful ugly dude and I never went there again..... sorry BK, I thought it was something in the food!

Someone told me in the books & movies that the vampires can go out in the daylight or something, but twinkle??? Isn't that a fairy???

The last two sections of this article (new window) have a pretty good collection of Robert Pattinson's funnier quotes on Twilight. Such as his description of Breaking Dawn: "Have sex, demon baby. No, they get married first, demon baby, Jacob falls in love with the little baby [laughs], then everyone tries to kill each other, but nothing happens. Oh, that's the second one [laughs even harder]."

rynthetyn: I don't know how he manages to insult the Twilight franchise in almost every interview while still having the insane fangirls love him. I can't imagine any other star of any other big budget franchise being able to pull that off. For that, I've got to tip my hat to him.

It just proves how vast the delusions of his Twilight fangirls go.

loral: Someone told me in the books & movies that the vampires can go out in the daylight or something, but twinkle??? Isn't that a fairy???

Possible, I guess. They do have nonsensical superpowers, try to be human just for the hell of it but miss the point in incredibly creepy ways, have eternal wars where nothing actually ever is accomplished, have no problem with necrophilia, ephebophilia, or (in the case of the shapeshifting ones) outright pedophilia, are known for abduction and symbolic and/or literal rape, have royalty that jsut sit around partying unless the plot demands it, and are revealed but not destroyed by close inspection under the sun.

It actually makes much more sense as a northern european fairy story than a vampire novel, albeit it's really nowhere near dark enough for the former (or, I guess, the latter). Thow in a few more abductions and rapes and have someone pacify the shapeshifting ones by leaving out offerings of cakes and milk, and give the visual effects guys triple the normal dose of LSD and you'd be set.

CanadianCommie: He's trolling twilight fans and making tons of money doing it.

I'm torn as to whether I should hate him and bust him across the kneecaps with a baseball bat or congratulate him with a firm handshake, backslap and bottle of whiskey.

First the latter, than the former. One does not preclude the other.

I think he'd prefer a blowjob.

"Flawed and ugly?"

Good. At least the person playing him has some sense. The person writing him certainly didn't.

What would you do?

Exactly what Pattinson did, and he's been quite open about that fact. Once this series is done, he will never again have to take any role he doesn't want; he'll have enough money to simply turn roles down. That was, for him, the whole point of the exercise.
