Robert Pattinson is always on our mind these days, and fall is starting to creep in. That can only mean that it’s time to rewatch The Twilight Saga. Before talking about the first three films, Ailish gives a brief review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and we share our thoughts on films that try to appease an audience with a large age range. Breaking news was also announced earlier in the week about a new film from It Ends director, Alexander Ullom, called 4X4: The Event. We’re hoping It Ends comes to a theater near us, but the part that got us excited was Dylan Minnette confirmed he’s returning to the screen. If you have been listening to us for a while, you know we love some Dylan and are big Wallows girls.
We think everyone can agree that anyone who watches any of the Twilight films in present day would be horrified. These films are awful in so many ways, but if you lived through the initial hype of the books and film franchise, you carry a soft spot for them forever. Twilight is the first installment and its blue tone makes it very jarring to watch. Many of the characters are actually unrecognizable because of the lighting, makeup, wigs, and whatever else was happening on set. Unfortunately, the characters don’t look much better as the films continue. The blue tone is, thankfully, gone in New Moon and Eclipse, but the wigs and inconsistent pale skin are more apparent now than they were in the 2010s. We do love how melodramatic everyone is and can’t resist being a little jealous of Bella for being in such a dream love triangle. We can’t be the only ones who would’ve been fine if these films went in a completely different direction right?
