Lumbar Puncture: From the trailer I'm guessing that they changed the end of the book, which is disappointing. I was looking forward to the Rifftrax of a movie where two sides get ready for a battle they decide not to have at the end.

I am hoping for a battle starting on the snowy battle field, then we hear a voice call out "Bella...Bella..." Then the scene cuts to an autistic child starring into a snow globe.

Great Janitor: Dr. Whoof: Flappyhead: Lady Beryl Ersatz-Wendigo: Millennium: TFA: Edward shows Bella their new honeymoon cottage, which unlike most brides, she decides is "perfect" even before looking inside. When she does, it's stocked with wall to wall books, and you'll never guess which one she eventually takes down from its shelf. Never ever.

I don't know; it depends on how they change it. If the ancient sect of uber-powerful vampires decides to slaughter the entire Cullen clan, and then commit mass suicide in shame over not knowing what the fark a dhampir is, I could get behing that.

Vampire Hunter D would kick all their asses.

My favorite Ebert quote regarding a Twilight movie was, "The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan."

I think it was for the second movie.

moothemagiccow: WizardofToast: Seeing Breaking Dawn Part 2 get decent reviews. My guess is that people are thankful it's the final movie and that we can move on to The Hobbit next month.

hooray! A franchise! Let's attach ourselves despite the mediocre quality!

What, precisely, makes you think The Hobbit will be mediocre?
