Inspired by a dream she had, Stephenie Meyer only wrote the "Twilight" books, not the nightmare that was the cheesy film adaptation.
The 35-year-old new J.K. Rowling arrived in Vancouver to do some more press for her teen vampire series.
Wonder if awkward closeups, long pauses and bad acting were in her original draft?

4. I personally loved the Twilight saga,and I am far from being a teenager anymore,granted the director could have done a better job with the movie,hopefully Chris Weitz will do a better job with New Moon.As far as Rob Pattinson goes he is gorgeous and they couldnt have picked anyone to better portray Edward.

5. Stephanie Meyer may be a best selling author, and the movie did pretty good.
She's doing very well for herself, but she is no J.K. Rowling. The Harry Potter series sold 400+ million copies. The Twilight books have sold 40+ million. Not even close.

6. Stephanie Meyer's is seeing her dreams coming to life on screen. I agree Twilight could have been better but she should have stepped in and not let them change it. It was supposed to be a Romeo & Juliet love story (the way the book was written) but it was lacking the diehard love. I loved the books and i am not a teenager. The reason why Harry Potter did so well was because there are so many more books. Who knows maybe she would think about going back and continuing the story, we can only hope. As far as what she looks like, she is a freaking writer not a model or even an actor.

8. Twilight was great when you consider the idea that most of the "meat" was written in thought, not action. Kristin and Robert did an amazing job of bringing the spirit of the book to life....I am far too old to be a teen, and my kids too young to be a twi-mom....I am just someone who is greatful that there is something more than sex and 90210 for my daughter to look forward to in her tween years. Stephenie did an amazing job in writing these books...and "WHAMO" real women have curves, and should happily flaunt them....Not try to impress some sofa riding fat guy whith a cheeseburger in one hand and a remote in the other.

9. Was ripped off...by hollywood.The real writer still has her first versons which sony/fox made go away.She was`nt a show boat and din`t fit into hollywoods vison so they buryed her under 500 lawers and 10,000 feet of paper.

10. That entire serious was so stupid I can't even describe it. The plot was absolutely ridiculous.

11. No, the reason Harry Potter did better is because they're better books.
If you want to work with averages...
Twilight Books:
40 million copies of four books = 10 million copies per book.
Harry Potter books:
400 million copies of seven books = 57+ million copies per book
Not the same. I can't imagine any author being able to top the stats for RK Rowling. The last book sold 11 million copies...in 24 hours.

12. OMG..JK fans...GET OVER IT. HARRY POTTER is dead. And there were seven books, btw, while there were only four Twilight books.
And while I do argee that the Twilight movie had awkward closeups and pauses, the acting was awesome. The two stars carried that movie and kept it from being lame and cheesy.
If you want to see bad acting, check out a Harry Potter film.

13. The books were great, and the movie, like always, didn't live up to her skill and imagination. Well done Stephanie.
