BUDDY TV: THE ‘TWILIGHT’ CHALLENGE- LIVE THOUGHTS
BuddyTV.Com has a hilarious look at a Twilighter watching the movie with non-Twilight friends, and their thoughts:
It was a normal night like any other when Debbie, Oscar, Meghan and I sat down to watch Twilight. We curled up in my bed (well, Oscar sat in a chair) and gleefully anticipated the beginning of the film.What I will say of the following live thoughts is this: don’t judge them like they tried not to judge Twilight. Debbie really wanted Bella and Edward to get down, Meghan wanted to get down with Edward and Oscar had his own special outlook on things. They were hilarious but moreover, they expressed a lot of concerns that non-readers might have while watching the movie. Some things they didn’t understand and some things they grasped fully. If you’ve seen the movie ten times like me (yeah, that’s right, I’ve seen it that many times since we did the initial thoughts video), then it’ll be easy to figure out what we’re talking about. If not, I leave contextual clues along the way. if you still can’t figure it out, please, go watch Twilight again, for me…
The following is the beginning of their thoughts watching the movie:
Debbie Chang: Okay, it’s starting.
Oscar Dahl: I have never heard of Summit Entertainment.
Debbie Chang: Oh no, voiceovers. Kill me now.
Kim Wetter: I really like the score.
Oscar Dahl: The old vampire/deer chase opening…how clichĂ©.
Debbie Chang: Does phoenix really look like that?
Oscar Dahl: yes.
Debbie Chang: With cacti and such?
Kim Wetter: Well, it’s phoenix.
Meghan Carlson: I’ve been to phoenix. It does look like that. It’s sprawling and grossly hot.
Kim Wetter: FORKS!
Meghan Carlson: Reppin’ WA STATE! Hollerrrr.
Oscar Dahl: I’ve been to Forks…I will decline to say what I thought about it.
Debbie Chang: Isn’t it lazy storytelling to do all this exposition via voiceover? I’m just sayin…

This had me laughing so hard! But I do think some of the points are valid to people who have not read the books. I know my parents watched the movie without knowing the story at all and were confused on several things in the movie.
What did you think of the thoughts of first-time ‘Twilight’ watchers? Have you gotten anyone to watch the movie that hasn’t read the books?

Funny, and I can’t disagree with MC, but seriously dude, “bone time!” got old. Really fast.
haha, this is hilarious!! If I watched Twilight with my other friends, this is exactly how it would go down. “Get the Net!”, love the Wayne’s World referrence.

“So 1918 actually was sepia-toned.” LOL
Drinking game every time Kristen Stewart blinks
Oh God that would be ridiculous, but it’s sooooo funny!
This was flippin’ hilarious! My friend and I read it over the phone together and were dying laughing! Oscar, I have to say… Dude, I’d ‘bone’ Nikki Reed (Rosalie) or Ashley Greene (Alice) before I’d ‘bone’ Kristen Stewart! Seriously….
However, my friend and I understand what you mean about wanting to bone Edward, Meghan!
The sepia-toned comment was pretty freakin’ funny!
ohkay only way I got my friends to go see this was by me saying “come on VOLCHOLK shirtless entire movie”
“VOLCHOLK for 2 hours”
“VOLCHOLK ENOUGH SAID”
needless to say me and my friends are HUGE o.c fans and love Volcholk(Kevin) aska cam(james) they hated it thought it was slow and boring and since there is no james in the next one I will be seeing new moon by my self so sad
oh well we always have that hot scene with Cam and Mischa Barton in the O.C making out (which actully goes in to a monatage of Nikki reed and Ryan making out)
This had me in hysterics the whole time! I’d read the books before seeing the movie. My brother has not read them, but knows a lot about all of them thanks to me telling him every little detail as I read them. Some of their reactions were similar to me and my brother when we watched the movie in the theater. We couldn’t help but laugh out loud several times in the movie at some of the silly things.
OME I was in hysterics… everyone at work thinks I’m a little crazy, which is possible! I’m definitely going to sneak in a recorder for my friends when we’re viewing it for the first time (have to wait in Aus!!) As for drinking games, if I wasn’t pregnant I’d be there… Bella Bella Bella….. JUST BELLA…. DRINK DRINK DRINK!
I thought it was hilarious.
I had my husband watch it with me and spent most of the movie explaining the book to him because his questions weren’t answered by the movie.
That and his annoying *squeee-ing* over Edward was majorly frustrating.
this was so funny
