Oh Jesus Christ, this film is nearly 2 hours long.  2 WHOLE HOURS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">2. Awkward father-daughter scene seems to be working well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">3. HOLY OBVIOUS CANINE INCISORS ON JACOB!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">4. Dude, try not to be so obvious when looking at her crotch.  For real.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">5. Actually, just a guess, but is pretty much every scene with Bella in, where she has to interact with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153real people\u00e2\u20ac\u009d going to be awkward?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">6. Wait, she hasn&#8217;t even been there a day and three guys are vying for her affections? Well, four if we include Obvious Werewolf boy. WTF?  She&#8217;s cute, for sure (or would be if she smiled), but lets not kid ourselves here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">7. OMG your filler article ideas are GENIUS!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">8. Informed character traits?  The guy&#8217;s got weird eyebrows, and comes from a freaky family.  And apparently doesn&#8217;t know how to do his hair properly.  Where I come from, that&#8217;s asking for bullying, not causes for desirability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">9. Emo stare of doom at 10:15!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">10. Is Edward constipated or something?  He looks pained.  And now like he&#8217;s gonna puke.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">11. Hey Bella!  I just totally got to talk to you about how wonderful you are, despite the fact we haven&#8217;t seen each other since you were a kid.  My life is so fulfilled I&#8217;m trying to impress a 16 year old girl.  Kill me now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">12. NO SAUCE FOR YOU<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">13. Jesus girl.  4 guys come onto you in one day, people fawning over you at lunch, and just one blew you out.  Actually, that&#8217;s quite realistic, I remember how INFURIATINGLY IRRATIONAL girls were at school as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">14. Emo stare of doom\/constipation at 13:45<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">15. Maybe he&#8217;s not showing up because your presence makes him physically ill\/constipated?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">16. Wow, those OHSA guys are rough.  That&#8217;ll teach that guy to operate heavy machinery at a factory on his own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">17. SPAAAAAAAARRRRRTAAAAAAAA!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">18. Constipated stare at 16:41.  He&#8217;s gonna have to shit that sometime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">19. You ARE from Arizona, darling.  Moving to Rainsville, Population: Wet may just be a little weird for you.  And its not like you&#8217;re helping the conversation any.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">20. Credit to the actors, they&#8217;re both good at awkward, slightly tense conversation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">21. No, you have discovered his shameful secret.  His eyes change colour in relation to environmental conditions!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">22. The look on her face is priceless.  \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How dare he walk away from me?  Him and his colour changing eyes!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">23. Is that Dr Chase&#8217;s evil twin?  And how the fuck does everyone know who Bella is, considering she last visited when she was 4?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">23. Never mind he pushed a sliding car away with his hand, no, just note he&#8217;s really fast!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">24. You could always thank him for saving his life, instead of berating him, you know.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">25. Oh at last!  He only needed to specifically ask you for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">26. Ah, the first creepy stalker scene.  How romantic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">27. Smooth, girl.  Just ignore the guy who actually wants to be your friend.  Niiiiiiiice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">28. Constipated stare at 27:17<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">29. I too find mysterious hints and abilities deter people from investigating me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">30. It means he wants to be your friend, but he thinks its better if he&#8217;s not.  You know, just like he said.  Were you dropped on your head as a child or something?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">31. If you&#8217;re the bad guy, you suck at it.  Saving girls and looking constipated is not evil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">32. Wait, you see a guy twice and you ask if he&#8217;s stalking you.  Some guy watches you as you sleep, and you wanna let him bone you.  WTF?  I AM GETTING MIXED SIGNALS HERE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">33. Blatantly gonna die.  He&#8217;s drinking and operating machinery.  That&#8217;s BAD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">34. Hey, stop wangsting and, you know, interact with your friends.  I know it must be terrible, them taking up your valuable wangst time, but come on now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">35. Even potential rapists know her name.  WTF?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">36. Growling isn&#8217;t scary, sorry.  No, its not.  Its just NOT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">37. Constipated and 42:48<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">38. Yes, he&#8217;s stalking you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">39. Is this because she&#8217;s a vacuous twit?  Is that why she can&#8217;t have her mind read?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">40. Edward, its always about Bella.  Get with the program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">41. Constipated stare at 44:12<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">42. No \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thank you for stopping my potential rapists\u00e2\u20ac\u009d?  Or even \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thanks for the ride\u00e2\u20ac\u009d?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">43. Well I&#8217;m spooked.  He&#8217;s a shiny, sparkling vampire.  Who&#8217;s a killer, apparently, despite having not actually killed anything thus far, and going out of his way to save a girl twice for no reason.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">44. Wangst time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">45. I think killing people might matter.  Just a little bit.  Especially when he confesses to wanting to kill you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">46. She&#8217;s so unique and wonderful, even her smell is special.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">47. Stop wangsting and kiss her, for god&#8217;s sake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">48. Constipation stare is contagious at 56 mins<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">49. Well aren&#8217;t you just the sweetest little contender for a Darwin Award?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">50. Ah, obvious foreshadowing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">51. Stop wangsting about being a monster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">52. Ah, some self-aware irony.  Its like a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">53. Nice place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">54. You could say thank you, since they&#8217;re cooking a meal for you.  Did no-one teach this child manners?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">55. Jasper seems to have caught the constipated stare as well, at roughly 1:06<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">56. Mutual constipated stares at 1:08:30 or so<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">57. Tree-climbing eh?  Yeah, real scary&#8230;when you&#8217;re eight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">58. No, he&#8217;s a stalker.  Well, he might be smart too, I guess.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">59. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I like watching you sleep\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&#8230;Clarice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">60. Constipated post-kissing stare at 1:15:55<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">61. Potential for humour with loaded gun\/intentions towards my daughter speech averted, sadly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">62. Best thing about this film so far, the soundtrack.  Unfortunately, this means Muse will forever be associated with this rubbish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">63. Clearly these are the bad guys.  Because sucky music has come on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">64. Stop being a pussy, you outnumber them two to one, and you have bats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">65. James looks, uh, kinda retarded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">66. Have you guys heard of mobile phones?  You could, like, call your father and one of the Cullens, and arrange for them to get him out of there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">67. To be honest Dad, the switch from love to hate that quickly is pretty much typical at that age.  And within that time frame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">68. Wait, you&#8217;re running away, and leaving your Dad to get killed by a vampire?  And not only that, you&#8217;re hurting his feelings in the process.  So he&#8217;ll die alone, thinking his daughter hates him.  Niiiiice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">69. Bonus points: use the same excuses your mum did for leaving him. Knowingly.  Awesome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">70. So you&#8217;ve now divided your forces and the tracker has eluded your trick.  Well done.  You&#8217;re idiots.  You didn&#8217;t think about perhaps picking an area you knew really well, like your house, and fortifying it, and killing the fuck out of him the moment he appeared?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">71. Going off to face a murderous vampire alone and unarmed.  Even after researching the fuck out of them and presumably knowing their weaknesses.  Brilliant.  10\/10, would certainly plot this stupidity again, etc<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">72. Put it on Youtube dude.  I dare ya!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">73.  Uh oh, villain monologue time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">74. Wait, the big bad can be killed by one weedy vampire alone?  Why didn&#8217;t they whack him the moment Edward knew he was obsessed with hunting Bella?  Is he some sort of idiot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">75. Geez, make the vampirism\/sex analogy MORE obvious why don&#8217;t you?  I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s moaning or bouncing up and down quite enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">76. And the orgasm, uh, I mean, cleansing of the blood.  Yeah, I totally meant that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">77. Well, the falling is kinda believable.  She is clumsy as fuck.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">78. No, the worst part was the wangst.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">79. Not a nine millimetre? What sort of slightly paranoid and overprotective father are you?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">80. You&#8217;re not curious as to why he wants you to break up with Edward?  Not even a little bit?  No wonder no-one can read your mind&#8230;NOTHING IS GOING ON IN THERE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">81. *<strong>hand signals*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">82. Christ, can either of you stop wangsting for even five minutes?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">83. You could just get a tattoo, if you wanted to make a bad, permanent decision at too young an age.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">84. Oh thank God, this is the end&#8230;at least until the sequel.
