what is ur favorite twilight?!?!?

You're welcome Karsten and thank you for understanding Bella x Alice superiority

“Alice is the one Bella should be with but that’s a whole different video altogether.” 😂😂

karsten thirsting over robert pattinson for 18 minutes straight

not enough commentary on the iconic baseball scene 😔✊🏽

"at one point edward laughs and it's such a wholesome moment... he lets out such a genuine laugh and it really warmed my heart." honestly this warmed MY heart lol

as someone who was a 10-14 girl when these came out, i can definitively tell you that the reason there was a team jacob was because he took his shirt off a lot

Say whatever you want about Twilight but one thing is clear: the soundtracks had no right to slap THIS HARD. The fact that such a goofy franchise got Paramore, Muse, Linkin Park, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Death Cab For Cutie, Grizzly Bear, The Killers, The Black Keys, Florence and the Machine etc etc??? Absolutely INSANE that my entire music taste has been shaped by these movies!

The first Twilight is a camp classic and Catherine Hardwicke should’ve directed all of them.

*me patiently waiting till he sees the cgi baby

He really doesnt know the fans love Bella's dad...

"stupid but i like it" that's exactly how i feel about twilight

oh fun fact, twilight was 3 years after the classic that was sharkboy and lavagirl. taylor lautner was 16 in the first twilight film.

Jacob: *Imprints on a baby* Me: "Okay, Groomer."

"he was respectful when he left her" bruh he dumped her in the middle of a dark forest at night and made her fend for herself

"You nicknamed my daughter after the lochness monster!"

man, you'll eventually have to do The Hunger Games...

I was in the theater for the midnight release of the last film, and people were like screaming during the final battle. Crying and running around the theater and leaping from their seats lol and during the entire montage there was applause. It was a surreal experience....god I miss theaters

I love how seriously he takes this

we gonna talk ab how that jasper dude fought for the confederacy?

how did you not mention the cgi baby

*Amanda explains Imprinting for 2 straight minutes* Karsten: "this series sucks" *dies from laughter*

i will not tolerate the charlie slander when he’s literally the main character

the best line from twilight is hands down 'WhErE hAvE yOu BeEn LoCa'

That big Joel impression is amazing wtf

i was today years old when i finally realized what imprinting was and even as a "tween" i knew something was off about Jacob imprinting on the baby.but now that i KNOW. i wish i did not.

Starving filmmaker Karsten Runquist watches ENTIRE twilight saga in one day to satisfy SADIST letterboxd followers

the way everyone thinks alice and bella should’ve been a thing

Whenever my wife binges these movies i tell her to get me when the battle happpens. That shit is crazy

I can’t tell if that big Joel impression was real or not it was too accurate

I'm just extremely creeped out by the fact that Jacob imprinted on the daughter of the woman he fell in love with. so what was his soul attracted to Bella's uterus the whole time? like wtaf

you shipping Alice&Bella instead of the guys makes me so happy

Is it sad that I unironically kinda like the vampire lore/rules in these movies? For example, the idea that children are banned from becoming vampires because they lack the selfcontrol to not eat every human it sees, it's simple yet interesting. I hate the movies themselves, but kinda like the ideas that they have in place for the vampires.

How I describe this series: two romantic rivals tag-team gaslighting a bored girl while more pressing matters happen in the background. Also baseball.

The werewolves’ jorts are actually an important plot point in the books lol

Karsten being a bicon at MULTIPLE points in this vid

I stand by Twilight (2008) being a genuinely great camp film. SO many iconic moments

I'm living for the Twilight Renaissance.

“This is just a movie about guys being weird” perfectly incapsulates my feelings on the Twilight series

This was just a Rob Pat appreciation video and I'm all for it

“This movies arent good because they weren’t directed by a vampire or werewolf” - Karsten 2021.

I appreciate that you didn’t just knock these off as “eww bad teen girl movie” and seemed to actually analyze it for what it is: a teen vampire movie in 2008. It’s not supposed to be revolutionary, it’s fun

IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW SPOT ON THE BIG JOEL IMPRESSION WAS

rami malek is basically the avatar in these movies

Karsten in Eclipse: this is weird Me a twilight expert: Boy you haven’t seen anything yet.

No one: Karsten: CReDiTs LoOk nIcE.

Not only is the last one mostly planning, it’s planning for one fight scene that is actually just a vision. And that battle sequence doesn’t even happen in the books. It’s real bad.

You should watch every john hughes movie and rank them

So apparently the first twilight had a very small budget. To compensate for the lack of set design/wardrobe/ higher quality filmmaking stuff they used a blue tint (kinda like the first two seasons of Rupaul's dragrace). Also they totally didn't think the movie would do too well, but definitely didn't think it would be the start of a successful franchise, so everyone in it played up the goofiness and campiness of vampires spending a hundred years redoing highschool in small suburban towns. After it was a hit though alot of the cast (particularly Robert Pattinson) were pretty displeased with working on them, especially as studios wanted to make them more "serious" ultimately taking the fun out of twilight, which is really the main thing it had going for it. That's my theory as to why everyone after the first one looks so sad and mad all the time. In the first one they look weird, and kind of constipated, but that's just kind of how its written, in the second, third, and fourth one they literally look like their reading the scripts to other movies. Except for Jasper who seems to be the main cast member to really embrace twilight and openly state what a great time he had and how much he loved working on it, etc. In the last film the vampires are noticeably smiling and laughing at everything, kind of for no reason, but I think it's because they were excited to wrap up the four year process of making a story none of them were fans of. Also I always thought the third book was the worst as the the first movie had already been out, meaning Stephanie Meyers (the author) knew the rest of the series would become movies too. So she tried alot of backstory and attempts at witty dialogue and action but she never really succeeded. All of the films however are pretty good examples of good book to movie adaptions. They stick to the main story really well, character depictions are accurate to the book, unnecessary side plots or details are usually left out (like Angela and Bellas job at a sporting goods store), and actual dialog is sometimes said strate from the book, it's just the dialog was never that good to begin with. My problem was always that their were such interesting characters and the story at its core, somewhat exiled vampires existing amongst humans, is interesting enough. It's just gone about in the mst mundane and PG-13, 2008 way ever. With two people much older than teenagers constantly staring at each other whilst making bad decisions. I missed the actual twilight "hype" of the early 2010s but getting into it afterwards is hilarious just because of all the people that either get embarrassed or weirdly defensive when I bring up the countless plot holes or weird moments. Like how come human blood is so irresistible but the topic of menstruation is never brought up until pregnancy, or how Bella literally sees and hears hallucinations of her ex boyfriend and her first thought is "I should try and hurt myself to see if that happens again." But when you just sit back, laugh it off and except it as what it is, Twilight can be pretty fun.

Either you turned off/walked out of the first Twilight movie when Edward started sparkling or you watched all 5 of them, there's no in between.

that big joel impression was fucking hilarious. A+ job my dude

The first one was the best because it was the most "indie" of the saga, it got cringey and annoying when they started to become large scale blockbusters (and I agree with you I miss the blue color palette so much it did a lot to add to the atmosphere and "vibe")

This was TOO MUCH FUN. loved Karsten gayshiping. loved that Amanda was in this. oh god I wish I was there seeing all of his reaction

Spot on Big Joel impression.

the big joel impression was just absolutely spot on, uncanny, w e i r d

What I expected: Karsten tearing the films to shreds What I got: Karsten waxing philisophical about how relationships work

"So close together, I kinda want them to kiss" WOAAAH PLOT TWIST

“What else would you want from a romantic vampire movie that’s set in 2008?” Let the Right One In came out in 2008

Honestly this is why I was so disappointed when the first director didn’t come back for the future films bc you truly notice a difference in tone and campiness The first one just hits different 😂😂 it’s so extra I love it

My favorite one is New Moon because of the 2009 MTV vibes it radiates, I remember how they hyped the shit out of it and played the videos from the songs that were in the movie and I finished liking it because of that.

I dont know why there was a team Edward vs team Jacob thing going on when Bella clearly wanted Edward throughout the whole series. I completely expected Bella trying to choose between the 2, but no. It was always Edward.

that big joel impression was better than the movies

Is “show some hole” a common phrase I’ve never heard?

The only good thing I remember about twilight is that the soundtrack was brilliant muse, paramore, linkin park, the killers and Radiohead are some of my favourite bands

The Amanda cameo was a welcome surprise, none of the Twilight films are great but I have a fondness for them anyway and I've loved seeing both Rob and Kristen's careers take off. Quality content kurstboy.

14:43 i had to rewind FIVE TIMES and turn subtitles on to make sure i heard that correctly. and i %100 agree

Karsten: "I'm really getting into motion graphics." Motion graphics: 17:02

When you talked about the directors changing I started going into my rant about why Catherine Hardwicke should have been the director of the whole series to empty air. Maybe someday someone will listen to it, because I have FEELINGS.

“Jimmy Neutron bloodstream” KILLED me 😂😂

my local movie theater had like 5 rooms and on opening night for the last breaking dawn pt2 all of the tickets were sold out to the point where ppl sat on each others laps and on the stairs (im p sure they oversold them) during the fight scene ppl were literally yelling like they were watching a boxing match, jumping in their seats, grown men and teenage girls LITERALLY crying it was insane, keep in mind that this happened in Angola, a country in Africa where English isn't spoken at all and the subtitles were barely working on the screen for some reason so ppl had no idea what was being said half the time. just absolute madness, never experienced anything like it. say what you want about it but twilight pulled numbers only Kpop stuff is capable of nowadays

“when the shapeshifter imprints it finds their soulmate” NO WHAT NO NO NOOOO

that Big Joel impression was actually kinda good 💀

this is exactly what i needed from you.

The Big Joel impression was unironically amazing.

First time watching your stuff. First thought was “discount Orlando Bloom” but it was a cool video

THE BIG JOEL IMPRESSION WAS SO GOOD WHAT

I think the most disturbing part of this franchise is that basically Bella made out with her son in law.

I have no idea who Big Joel is, and he sounded the exact same to me during the impression 😅 But I love hearing these takes! I like how earnestly you experienced the movies. Fun to watch you experience it!

Omg when Amandathejedi came on screen I actually squealed, day officially brightened

The only thing I've ever seen of Twilight in my whole life, is one scene I saw on a Bus when I was a kid, it was just Kristen Stewart falling of a Motorcycle, and it was so random, and very hilarious.

THAT SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE BIG JOEL

1:42 Never expected a burp like that from Karsten Runquist

The Big Joel impression was scary good ngl

"This is weird, right?" Had to pause and just giggle to myself after that little Big Joel chestnut

I wish I could relive the first time I saw that last scene with 15 step playing at the credits

i’m telling you i was not impressed until the radiohead needle drop and then i binged the other three movies immediately

“bella! where the hell have you been loca!!” 🙄😂

The baseball scene lives rent free in my mind

her names renesme cuz bella named her after her mom, renee, and edwards mom, esme. idk i thought it was sweet, bella cares about so little things so details like that are cute.

Appreciate pointing out Edwards laugh and hoodie scene

2:40 "First of all james is a hilarious name for a villain" james moriarty: am I a joke to you?

Robert Pattinson is about to be batman. Sure hope he doesn't disappoint.

i watched these for the first time with my friend last year and we totally missed Eclipse but the story still made sense at Breaking dawn 1 so we didnt even realise we missed a whole film

holy smokes so many things i love in this one video!!! lovingly ragging on the twilight series, karsten, amanda the jedi, a big joel reference .... my heart is full 🥰

6:27 that impression was on POINT

Love these marathons! You always come through with great content. QUESTION: have you used skillshare? If so, what course(s) did you take?

In my opinion, the best thing about these movies are their soundtracks. Other than Charlie and Carlisle... I mean, Muse, Radiohead, Paramore, Metric... come on. Because of this, Eclipse is almost certainly the best movie - the soundtrack really hits Edit: Oh! I mustn’t forget a shout out to one of the best characters in the Twilight Saga - Seth, he is a baby and he is the cutest of the werewolves

Amanda’s part of the video sounded like my physics teacher trying to explain to me how something that doesn’t matter at all works and how you make an equation out of it

Just to say I found your channel last night, and this is my favourite video on Yt ever. I was weirdly obsessed with Twilight as a kid, and watching your reaction to Breaking Dawn pt1 had me laughing out loud

I signed up on Letterboxd because of you, and now I've never been sOoooOOo hyped for a video
