Can you believe this?!

hahahahahahahahaha

that made me laugh really hard XDD

I'm sorry, my computer doesn't have Flash Player.

This was a VIDEO? I can't believe it...I think my heart just broke a little. sad

If it were a written article, I would never have believed that Rob would say things like that. Honestly, I thought he was better than that. But if this was a video interview...well, that's much harder to dispute. crying  

[VampirePrincessOftheNorth]

I like what he said about the book cuz you do get that vibe from it in a lot of areas. Way to go Rob sum it up in a nutshell  

[.Bucket.of.Joy.]

I don't understand why you seem to be so horrified . . .
It was his opinion, and a good analysis of the novel. It was his own interpretation of what was going on.
Why do you find it so outrageous that something like that would be said?

 

[Jellycones]

sheesh..wow. haha.
rob musn't like stephenie very much, because he practically humiliated her in that interview... :/
i don't have anything against him because that's his opinion, but when you're trying to promote a movie, you should probably filter your words a little better haha.  

[La Beaute]

Mmm, that’s his opinion though I never liked him from the beginning and still don’t. Yeah, I think he should be more promoting of the series. As for my opinion, most writing comes from inspiration, in this case a dream. If there was no inspiration for writing, heck, there wouldn’t be books at all. So, in my opinion, I disagree with Rob.  

[EvilWarlordGu]

no, that is exactly why there are so many fangirls. We love to put ourselves into Bella's place.
Rob's hit the nail on the head, he's just stating the obvious.
The book is written by steph, in Bella's perspective. Of COURSE she envisioned herself as Bella. Of COURSE it's her fantasy.

Captain Obvious, much?

I don't find what he said horrible and I agree it does describe most of the books. What I can't believe is that he would say that in an interview about the movies he is starring in. That is like asking people not to watch them. I'm not really outraged I'm more incredulous. Seriously that is promotional suicide!

But it doesn't really sound like he's making the movie sound horrible. He is stating how he interprets the books. It does not sound anti-promotional to me . . . He's not saying that the movie sucks, or the books suck, he's saying that Stephenie must have written the books envisioning herself as Bella (which we all know she probably did) and that in the process she may have created this character who became so real for her, that he has specific details about himself and she may have fallen in love with him in the process.

Where in that statement is his saying negative things about either the series or the movie?

Perhaps it's just me, but this guild seems to be becoming an ANTI-Twilight guild rather than a pro one.
*sigh*

 

[PyroDogs94]

I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

That's kickass, lol

But yeah, most of gaia is anti.

Mischief managed.

it's true.
I mean it's the same reason I write fan fiction some times in the First POV.
It's easier to relate to the character because you put a lot of your feelings and thoughts into that character's POV.
Honestly the Twilight series reminds me of just another fan fiction except it had original characters and what not instead... it's written quite like one.

(and honestly... I'm not Anti-twilight. I actually quite enjoy it.. I'm just not a raging fangirl. Now if you put Bill of Tokio Hotel in front of me then you'd get a raging fangirl *le sigh*)

I agree, it's not good for selling the series he's starring in...But who knows, maybe he doesn't care...

 

[sakura1120]

I can't believe he said that! Rob just lost a lot of fans. and of course the way Stephenie Meyer wrote the book makes you feel like you're Bella! That's how almost every girl feels, and they love it, as do i!
