This is by far the creepiest and weirdest part of the poster. I know it is the angle and all but it seriously looks like the kid has one ear. And down syndrome.

I've heard it's hard to get the actors to all pose together in one place for promo shots and posters but hooooly poo poo it's like they couldn't get the actors' heads and faces together at once.

I thought the only other vampires in the movies were Italian :confused:

(Watched the movies for the RiffTrax. Also, I read all the books a few years ago so I could have validation for making fun of them. I read Breaking Dawn but I barely remember anything about it. Don't remember any Irish vampires.)

I'm really wondering if this poo poo is intentional, like they pulled them apart them and reassembled their features to intentionally throw viewers into the "uncanny valley" and become disturbed by them. It's just the less established actors get played up more.

Case in point, Ashley Greene, who's been in these films almost from the start...

All of these Twilight posters images genuinely look like they took a picture of one person, then used photoshop to put the same person's face from a different photo (without bothering to get another photo from the same angle) over the original face.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Maybe the artist... no...
Maybe the "artist" for this poster genuinely thought they were improving these people's looks. And are just terrible.
It's either a clever way to disturb us, or utter terribleness. Considering this IS Twilight...

That's not too bad. It's the best one by far, but I guess it's hard to get a bad picture of her since she's beautiful. The worst thing is her pose should be straight on but her head is tilted just a bit and it's like she's craning her neck.

A lot of it is that they seem to be moving their heads in the opposite direction of their necks or tilting their heads or something.

I noticed the neck thing as well and it was one of the things that made me question if it was some attempt at purposely using the "uncanny valley". I also think one of her eyes is off, like it was taken from another full face picture, but I can't be too sure.

If everything about the movies weren't so stupid and lazy and I might congratulate them for being so grotesque and unsettling. It's not like deformed William H. Macy or Dolph Lundgren's knife bigger than his head where it's something off to the side, it's just one giant poster-filling monstrosity.

It means everything about Twilight is loving terrible and we should really stop talking about it before some poor unfortunate goon decides he will go see the movie "just to see if it's as stupid bad as it looks and so I can laugh at it :drac:" and we are forced to care for the drooling shattered ruin of a man that returns for the rest of our lives.

I used to joke about Twilight, asking what series of books could be so popular that even its lovely fanfic was being published and turned into movies - implying that Twilight was the lovely fanfic, of course. Now there is Fifty Shades of Grey, and it's not a joke any more. :smithicide:

Breaking Dawn 1 (even with Rifftrax) was one of the most intensely boring movies I have ever seen, about one of the most intensely boring couples I have ever seen. I don't think it will do anything worse than put your average goon to sleep for a couple hours.

It just got producers attached to it. Bret Easton Ellis has also started a new career of giving the film makers advice about the movie on his twitter account, which is pretty amazing and totally justifies the movies existence.

Yeah, the RiffTrax was one of the best (all the Twilight RiffTraxes are), but the movie itself was just painfully dull. After New Moon, I thought it couldn't get much worse. Eclipse was...not as bad, I guess? I've completely forgotten everything that happened in it, so I guess if it was worse than New Moon, I would have remembered. Breaking Dawn Part 1, though, was probably the most boring thing ever committed to film.

If you found people that had no idea what Twilight was but had otherwise normal sensibilities, you could show them these posters and give them a brief synopsis of the film and they'd tell you it was clearly a comedy film.

At least when the Harry Potter movies released posters for every character they had some mood lighting or interesting "gritty" effects. These look straight out of Glamour Shots.
