Carlisle: This is an exciting day. We are going to tackle the Trolley Problem.
Emmett: Is this a game? I go first. I call blue.
Carlisle: You are driving a trolley when the brakes fail, and on the track ahead of you are five workmen that you will run over. Now, you can steer to another track, but on that track is one person you would kill instead of the five.
Carlisle: What do you do?
Jasper: Well, obviously, the dilemma is clear; how do you kill all six people? So I would dangle a sharp blade out of the window to slice the neck of the guy on the other track as we smush our five main guys.
Carlisle: . . .
Jasper: Oh, I did the thing again didn’t I?
Carlisle: Yep.
Jasper: People: good. People: good. Why is that so hard to remember? People. . . what is it? Good.
Rosalie: You’re not helping. In fact, you’re making me angry. And you won’t like me when I’m angry.
Emmett: I love you when you’re angry. Everybody loves you when you’re angry. You’re a celebrity when you’re angry.
Rosalie: Yeah, you’re right.
On the 10 year anniversary of Twilight, director Catherine Hardwicke reflects back on her hit film. With an opening weekend of just over $69 million, the film went on to earn $192 million in the U.S. alone, at the time a record breaking sum for a film directed by a woman.
Hardwicke’s description of Summit’s reaction to the financial success of the film:
When I went in I saw that there were massive bouquets and balloons and bottles of wine, and crazy gifts sent to them by all the distributors around the world or whoever, all their friends. So I actually had it in my mind, wow, this is a pretty unprecedented success. I had heard these rumors that when a director does something like this they give them a car, they give them a two-picture deal or something like that. They give them an office and ask them what they want to do after this.
And then I got a mini cupcake that day. I was like oh, OK, cool—coming in here, I’m sort of working for free, doing this online stuff, and that was what I was offered: a mini cupcake.
Scary antagonistic vampires with dark skin.
what have I BEEN saying about stephanie meyer
Also suddenly that oh she came from a sunny place but was still pale as fuck and paler than her classmates who live in a rainy place thing is so clear and why she found so many fucking words for pale white skin.
And let’s not forget the little affair with the brown boy but only to bide time till my pale white man comes back. And then also that werewolves were angry and exclusively brown? 🤔
Not to mention the that the treatment of the Jacob and the rest of the Indigenous characters in the book was racist af. Jacob was written as the aggressive Brown boy then Meyer turns him into a predatory, pedophile by having him imprint on Bella’s daughter. Hell, most of the Indigenous male characters were written as abusive and predatory.
In the movie they managed to find Indigenous actors to portray the wolf pack and everyone gave the films woke points for that. But they whitewashed Jacob and had Taylor Lautner say that he was 1/645 Indigenous to save face.
Also, the treatment of Leah was god awful. She was dumped by her bf for her own cousin cause she wasn’t his “true love.” She is rightfully upset about it but everyone tells to get over it. She turns into a werewolf which results in her father’s death and is force to be in a pack where all the guys hate her, including her brother. Because Meyer just hates her, Leah also can’t have children or fall in love with anyone because she’s the only female werewolf.
Oh my god you’re absolutely right and then Alicr who everyone is like oh she’s so cute ladida is fucking married to a guy who was a confederate?
