I gotta give Christopher Nolan some credit. He was really bold with his batman trilogy's naming scheme. The same name twice then BAM a different franchise out of nowhere. What a visionary.
I feel like if they were gonna do the Batman movies they would’ve started with this weeks episode we’re probably gonna get all the twilight movies now cause they seem invested lol
"Fool me once, I'm mad. Fool me twice, how could you? Fool me three times, you're offically that guy, okay. You know the one. You go to his channel, he's like 'This video title is a lie and somethin' different. I'm here to mess your head' F*** YOU!!! I ain't havin' that s***!"
I'm actually not sure which image is funnier right now: A confused hiker discovering a 6-foot deep pit filled almost to the top with discarded pant-legs or That action movie cliché where a guy desperately runs to his secret gun stash but instead of guns he just opens a huge military case filled with hundreds of pairs of jean shorts.
As someone who used to be heavily into the twilight hate brigade I want to apologize. The franchise recieved way more angry flak than it deserved. I was a young dumb kid.
I was dragged to the first one by my girlfriend at that time, way back when, and I remember thinking, "this isn't that bad." but the hype and fandom and marketing that sprung up afterward soured it for me. I've never seen the other 3 as a result, so this has been a great series to watch the boys review. Now I don't need to go back and can just pretend I've seen the others if anyone ever asks.
I appreciate the nods to the Twilight Cosmonaut Picture Show episodes in this. The music cue when the jorts Boys run in to the woods never fails to make me laugh.
To add onto the Bryce Dallas Howard Trivia, she was originally offered the role before the first movie came out, but at the time it wasn't a big role (because who would've guessed the first movie would go on to gross over 400 million dollars) BUT when it turned into a franchise she wanted the roll again. So the film makers fired Rachelle Lefevre and brought Bryce Dallas Howard in instead. Honestly makes BDH look super lame since Rachelle would've gone to bat for the franchise, whereas BDH just wanted in on the franchise chain.
I didn't know that, I always believed the "scheduling differences" excuse. Not to mention BDH is in the last film with Victoria... Kind of defeats the purpose. That's the ultimate celebrity kid power move.
Bryce Dallas Howard is supposedly notorious for getting her dad Ron Howard to pull strings and get her roles, doesn't seem surprising, nepotism is awful in the industry. I've never liked BDH since she did this, and for someone who has been in as many major films as her, she doesn't really seem to have any fans.
On the subject of vampire lore, when Stephanie Meyer was asked how Edward can get an erection when he has no blood she explained that vampires have a venom like substance that takes the place of blood in their bodies and does all the same stuff Edward canonically has a venom penis
In the books they literally explain how the wolves have hidden caches of Jean shorts around the forrest so they can change into clothes whenever they transform back. Y’all nailed it.
@@chance757 If I remember right, they were usually cut off sweat pants tied to their leg. This might have worked better cinematically considering how most guys look in them grey sweatpants....
I can’t wait for them to finish the series, then review “vampires suck,” then Ben puts out a thought provoking video about a well thought out theme of the series that will make us consider actually sitting through these movies with a new perspective, then do a podcast episode about the movies, and not once talk about Reeves’ or Nolan’s Batman movies
Fun fact, when this movie came out, I was at a camp in Colorado and was given a choice of going on a long hike and seeing this movie in theaters. Me, being a kid who vehemently hated camps, hikes, and the sort, I chose to see this movie having not seen either of the previous two. I should’ve went on the hike.
It's 2022 and podcasters are finally covering the masterpiece Twilight: Eclipse the way it has always deserved. Odd choice to start with the third movie - maybe they'll go back and do the first two in the future?
Just in case anyone is genuinely confused by this comment, the previous Twilight movies have been reviewed, but were sneakily released with Batman Begins in the thumbnail. Twilight - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VzCy0REnIq8.html Twilight 2: Twi Harder - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O2HXZBW7NUs.html
As a teenager, I went to a white elephant gift exchange and took home a large back of Twilight: Eclipse branded "Fire & Ice" sweetheart candies. The hearts came in two flavors, one for Edward and one for Jacob. They were pretty good.
James PLEASE acknowledge how the Wolf tribe is a real Native American tribe that Stephanie Meyer just googled and put the name in her book without doing any research and just loaded it with horrible stereotypes. Easily one of the worst things about those books.
I don’t think they’ll see this comment but if it makes you feel any better Dominic Noble reviewed these books and mentioned that somewhere along the way
@@scratch2086 That's where I got the information from! His series on Twilight is excellent. Unfortunately James has said they don't watch any critical content of what they review for CoG so that their opinions arent coloured by it.
@@Void_Out I mean she certainly didn't do any research at all... I don't understand why she didn't just make up a name or something. She HAD to use the name of a tribe she'd never even talked to someone from, in a place she'd never been to.
In 100 years somebody's gonna be visiting a loved ones gravestone, and look over to see the most confusing and awe inspiring words to be chiseled into stone since Moses dropped the 10 commandments. They'll die of confusion.
The editing in this is just incredible, standouts, the wolf bringing back the arm in the limb discussion and then the shot from parasite at the end while discussing the next movies, magnifique
I was always a low key fan of Twilight in high school as my guilty pleasure film series and now, 10 years later am thoroughly enjoying James and Maso breaking them down!
I'm so excited for you to cover the only Twilight movie I've seen, which I watched in theatre with a friend who was burnt out and needed a distraction. I think it really helped, but I was SO CONFUSED THE WHOLE TIME.
I like how it's Canon that all the werewolves are assholes to the one girl werewolf and I assume it's because they had to start staching 1 tank top for every 10 pairs of Jorts.
I love when editors put in clips of other RU-vid channels because they’re usually channels I already watch and it’s like a little cameo or easter egg just for me. Should I be reacting to Mike Boyd and Cosmonaut Variety hour like they’re Spider-men? Some would say no. But I do, so thanks Ben!
Hey everyone me again just to remind everyone that this week on the podcast the mates are covering snake eyes!!! I know, I know they keep forgetting and they haven’t even noticed they forgot in the past two episodes but it’s probably because they got way to high last week. Anyway watch snake eyes so that way you can enjoy the podcast with the great mates
You guys should do American Psycho once you finish with the Twilight series. It was a box office flop at the time, maybe because of the trailer that didn’t really match up the tone of the movie.
Just when I thought I had you figured out a little bit, you pull this and I can't handle the suspense of what movie this is going to end up being. Avoiding the comments so I don't get spoiled
I don't remember if it's canon or just a text post I saw once, but I read once that the Wolf Boys keep caches of clothes stashed all over the forest. EDIT: Wow, I wrote this right before you said almost the exact same thing. We must have read the same post.
The answer to your jorts query is even more rediculous than leaving caches of jorts around the forest. In the books, the werewolves literally tie a rope around their legs and hang their jorts from them. So the werewolves run around with jorts hanging off their back legs and this is something Bella notices and asks Jacob about 😑
I will say this. If you don't want to continue watching these movies that's totally understandable. But, Breaking Dawn Part 2 is absolutely worth watching. It's not good by any means, but it is completely bonkers. If nothing else watching Michael Sheen in his weird Marching Band uniform chewing up the scenery in every scene he's in is worth the watch.
The Super Mario 64 music and effects in the background had me pausing the video a few times to make sure the emulated version of the game I have on my computer wasn't running.
You say you're literally the only people in the world talking about these films but Plumbing the Death Star have been discussing them this month too, so as far as I'm concerned the entire country of Australia is talking about them.
