Saw this as a win-win situation, tbh. Any bloke who loves Twilight isn't much of a loss.

I actually watched the first Twilight film the other day.

Does anyone know what the deal is with all the weird facial expressions like the actors are constipated? Are they in the book too?

A quick Google search of Twilight quotes appears to indicate that constipation was indeed a major theme of the story.

First of all, there was this:

And who can forget this:

I haven't seen any of them. Is there a redeeming feature to them at all?

And by redeeming feature, I mean noodz.

Haha. Heard this on the radio so many times today. First thing that came to mind was 'is it that bad?' and then 'I'd probably die of embarrassment if anyone ever caught me watching it'.

But yeah, overall a bit of a sad story. Cause of death not known yet. Putting a fiver on an aneurysm.[/insensitive]

Only seen the first one but it's ****ing awful. I guess if there is a redeeming feature its the hilarious awfulness of it all, but it's a trainwreck of a film.

Hmm, think I'll give it a miss then.

While on the subject of over paid, under talented actors, saw that fella from Gossip Girl at a restaurant I was at last week for lunch.

Not sure his name, looked a ponce.
