Robert Pattinson Thought the Response to Twilight Was "Strange"

…K?

There are few things truly guaranteed in this life, but Robert Pattinson looking back on his time in Twilight with some form of disdain or disbelief is one constant we can always count on. Our newly-named Batman sat down with Jennifer Lopez for a recent interview, and once again, he made his feelings on the Stephanie Meyer series and its film adaptations known.

For those of you just joining us, Twilight is one of the great cinematic masterpieces of our time, and while Anna Kendrick has since forgotten that she played a central role in the series, the rest of the world (mainly me) has continued in their Twilight adoration. However, Robert, who played the very important role of Edward Cullen, resident romantic vampire, has yet to fully support his time on the series, and pointed out that despite what many may think, the tale is certainly not romantic.

Comparing the film to another tale that always makes us sob, Robert pointed out how Twilight is truly unique. “It’s a weird story, Twilight. It’s not just like — it’s strange how people responded a lot to it," he said. "I guess the books are very romantic, but at the same time, it’s not like The Notebook romantic. The Notebook is very sweet and heartbreaking, but Twilight is about this guy, and he finds the one girl he wants to be with, and he also wants to eat her. I mean, not eat her, but drink her blood or whatever. It’s not that other people are telling them they can’t be together, it’s his own body telling him that.”

The star does make some valid points, and while Twilight continues to live on via the Internet, it's clear that Robert's time on the set is one experience he'll never forget. In fact, do enough digging and you'll find that Robert Pattinson has been speaking out about the series for years. May Twilight, or at least Robert's thoughts on it, live on forever.
