This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a "were wolf". I don't see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it. How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet? Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is "supposed" to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn't come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man. You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn't even make the top Movie for the charts; Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY oppinion and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks. FREAKIN LAUTNER DID!

I use to have kids come in to the Barnes and Noble I worked at, and they would say the Narnia books I recommended to them were good.
But almost all of them would also say that they were very obvious rip offs of Happy Potter, and that that C.S. Lewis should stop trying to hard to imitate Rowling. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

this is why my kids are going to grow up on forums. they make a thread to say something like this, and then i will take a puff of my 1950's-era-dad corncob pipe, reply "op sucks, thread sucks, kill yourself TIA" and then ban them for a month.

Please tell me the post you referenced was meant as a joke.
Sounds like something a tween would write.......Or my boss here at work. (Who is significantly older and in love with Taylor Lautner....sicko)

Samprimary, I really hope you're joking about banning your kids from food and shelter, that's not called for.

I don't think Samprimary's rule was addressing Poe's Law or failed attempts at discerning it (although Poe's Law is relevant anyway).

I suppose I'm the only one who thought jebus was being ironic by skipping over the "kill yourself" to object to something relatively less objectionable.

From previous posts you seemed like the type. You are a liberal, right?

I'm going to hope that someone who would write that in seriousness wouldn't be allowed in to see the R-rated The Wolfman. Because the other option is various flavors of retreating into a corner to sob bitter tears.

In this context, "werewolf" implies not having control over the shift, while "shape shifters" would have a choice. I'm guessing the ones in Twilight have control over that aspect.

They're already stretching the traditional definition of vampire in those books. You don't get to call Edward a vampire and then appeal to traditional definitions to claim that Jacob isn't a werewolf.

naw there's plenty of werewolves that have control over the shifting to a (usually pretty large) degree

In the Twilight series, there are werewolves AND shape shifters. The actual werewolves never make an appearance but they are talked about in the final non-battle.
One of the bad guys is quite furious when he sees what he believes are werewolves. The good guys have to explain to him that they are not werewolves but shape shifters and that it is just coincidence that they happened to choose wolves as their alternate forms. They were actually born this way, not turned by another werewolf.
So again, within the series, Jacob is quite different from a werewolf. My point being that the person who wrote the letter should have understood this and not made such an egregious error.
As for me knowing all this, hey my roommate loves the series, had all the books and I am home alone, bored to death and out of work. I needed something to read and I must say, the series was better than I expected. It certainly beats the usual "bodice ripper" she reads. I also read her copy of "The Host" by Meyer. I must say I really enjoyed that book.

Welcome to Hatrack, BTW/
Thank you. Actually that was my first post here, I made two others later. I have been here for years, just never bothered to check out the forums before.

No. In Twilight, transformation is linked to emotions and to the presence of vampires. In HP, it's better controlled by the animagus. Also, in HP the shape the animagus takes depends on personality, but in Twilight the boys are just wolves, regardless of their personalities.
Like windgracer, I feel vaguely ashamed for knowing this.
