First Look

Twilight Stars Vogue Out for Entertainment Weekly

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 10, 2008

There are many ways to describe this upcoming film known as Twilight. It has by all means a cult following, appeals not only to the TwilightMoms, but also to adult men such as our own Cole Abaius, and it is quite similar to Harry Potter in that tweens love it and it sells a metric shit-ton of books. One thing I did not think about was that there is some sexiness going on here. To illustrate my point, I present to you the upcoming cover of Entertainment Weekly:

Unexpectedly sexy, indeed.

That is the oddest photo of a human being I’ve ever seen.

Neil, can you please clarify where exactly you see “sexy” in that photo?

More anemic then vampire, I’d say.

Anemic, and a botched photoshop job. Why can’t magazines just take photos and pop them on covers? It’s really easy. We used to do it all the time. Now everything has to be destroyed completely by people with, let’s face it, pretty bad cloning and comping skills.

When a massive amount of people can tell things are photoshopped, it’s time to go back to normal pictures.

Looks like the poster art for a bad B-Movie the only thing that is missing is a really cheesy tagline to go with it:

“They only thing that could break them apart, is a stake to the heart”.

*sigh* No, Neil, there is no such “sexiness” in Twilight, unexpected or otherwise. In fact, Edward Cullen (the character) is so conservative, he wouldn’t pose for a photo with his shirt unbuttoned, and Bella was never this glamorous. I feared this would happen. People who haven’t read Twilight will think weird things about it because of this cover. I’m sure EW thought it was witty, putting Edward and Bella on there looking like they were from those romance novels that always seem to have Fabio on the cover. But that is just not what Twilight is all about. Bad call, EW. Bad call.

Am I the only one who had their world shattered by seeing a guy wear their belt like that?

My ex boyfriend wears his belt like that… :) Hmmm… and he’s my ex now… Hahaha…

And yeah people should read Twilight first before commenting about it… You might be
disappointed that the story is not like what this EW cover is showing off at all…

And as for the stakes killing Edward… Hmm… I don’t think so… LOL!

I must confess…I too rock the side buckle. It’s something I’m not proud of, but it just became habit after I did it once as a joke.

That aside…his hair kind of resembles a younger Donald Trump. It’s so foofy and lopsided…ew.

I’m sorry Neil, I too agree with Rob. Where the hell is the sexy in that picture? I saw the cover and shuddered. Kristen Stewart looks ok, not like Bella but ok. However, Robert Pattinson? I’m sorry but the hair, the shirt, the lighting? Vampire does not necessarily mean bleached/washed out. Think Tom Cruise, David Boreanez and Brad Pitt. Sexy death, not scary death. Please tell me he won’t look like that in the actual movie? I may have to join my sister’s movement raging against the casting otherwise!

i pesonaly this this picture does a good justice to what he looks like vampires are dead and glamourize people because thats what vampires do thats why they look apealing, but since the fiction vampires are said to be sexy it however also is always followed how they galmour peolpe to make them like them and be attract (there prey you could say) in twilight they are trying to be human but however is still undead. i think i does good reference to what he would look like. Bella on the other hand look overly dolled up for actual bella but hey media wants to catch the eye.

The pictures don’t follow the look or feel of the books or the movie. That is a bit of a
disappointment. It gives people the wrong impression and may keep them from seeing the
movie or reading the books.
