[quote]SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The Epilepsy Foundation of America is warning people with photosensitive epilepsy about a scene in the latest Twilight movie after it allegedly triggered seizures in some movie-goers, including one local man.
Watch the video report.
A statement on the website reads:
"A scene in the latest Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn: Part One, has reportedly caused seizures in at least two audience members. The scene contains flashing lights, which can sometimes trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy."
"If you have photosensitive seizures, please take this information into consideration when deciding whether to see this movie. Around 3 percent of the nearly 3 million Americans with epilepsy have photosensitive epilepsy."
Brandon Gephardt says he and his girlfriend were watching "Breaking Dawn: Part One" at a theater when he began convulsing during a graphic birthing scene. He said he doesn't remember anything until he woke up on the theater floor, but his girlfriend said he was, "convulsing, snorting, trying to breathe."
Paramedics took Gephardt to the emergency room and the theater had to cancel the rest of the movie for that showing.
Several reports on internet movie sites show reports of other people suffering similar symptoms during the same scene, which contains flashes of red, black and white.
While rare, the condition can be triggered by flashing red lights in people who are genetically predisposed.
A single seizure should not cause long-term damage to most patients, said Dr. Michael G. Chez, the medical director of pediatric neurology and epilepsy for Sutter Sacramento. Wearing sunglasses with cheap blue lenses can filter the red light for moviegoers who want to be on the safe side.

i knew it..
The film was probably rushed from filming to release to capitalize on the Twiretards, and in the rush no one ever bothered to realize that adding a scene with rapidly flashing red and blue light could cause medical issues ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Senshi_Porygon]it's happened before[/url])
Is this normal seizures or laugh seizures from the chomping sounds?
Gee, I knew Kirsten's acting was bad, but shit..

Are you sure the seizures weren't from disgust at such a bad movie?
And this is what you get when you make your vampires sparkle.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;33544743]Are you sure the seizures weren't from disgust at such a bad movie?[/QUOTE]No, that was the vomiting and convulsions.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;33545141]No, that was the vomiting and convulsions.[/QUOTE]
Maybe the vomiting and convulsions are what caused the seizures then?
Wasn't this a trilogy? Twilight, Twilight Eclipse and New Moon? What the fuck is this?
[QUOTE=Jookia;33548137]Wasn't this a trilogy? Twilight, Twilight Eclipse and New Moon? What the fuck is this?[/QUOTE]
Twilight, New Moon, Breaking Dawn, Eclipse. Apparently though they've pulled a Harry Potter and put it into two parts to make more MONAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
This is just the brains way of escaping the horrible situation of having to endure shit like Twilight. It causes you an epilepsy attack and hopes the next thing it sees is a hospital interior.

It's by far the best sounding scene in the entire series.
[sp]Apparently, Bella goes into birth with a half-vampire baby. How this kind of pregnancy works is beyond me, and the entire process is probably pulled straight out of Stephanie Meyer's ass. Anyways, during the birth, the vampires decide to do a C-section. One of them, obviously untrained in any field of medicine, takes the nearest blade and stabs Bella in the stomach, ripping it open. This obviously doesn't work, and Edward's first response is to go at it with his teeth. After biting open her womb and forcibly removing the child, Edward realizes that Bella is (derp) dying from this horrible fucking idea. I'm not exactly sure in which order the events play out from here, but I think it goes something like this:
He proceeds to do Hollywood CPR on her, and because of his superhuman strength, fucking collapses her ribcage. He thinks it's a good idea to now turn her into a vampire, so he bites her several times, to no avail. He then takes a hypodermic needle, fills it with his venom (or whatever the fuck it is Meyer thinks vampires have,) and stabs her in the heart with it.
In one scene, you get to see Bella tortured, murdered, and then resurrected.[/sp]
Oh, and then [sp]Jacob realizes he's in love with Bella's baby, and kidnaps it in order to pursue a physical relationship with it in the future. I wish I was joking.[/sp]
Based on what Spoony said in his drunken review of it, anyways.
Too much sparkling
I saw the movie with my girlfriend and her sister, and if I can make one recommendation about it, don't fucking see it. The main girl, Bella or whatever, is such a bad actor that I almost walked out of the theater.
The ending was so fucking bad, too. It was so cheesy and almost cliche with Jacob being such a fucking emo dickwad about almost everything.
I wish I didn't see it. I really, really do.
Edit: especially the part where [sp]Jacob goes to kill the baby and just has some sort of "future sight" with it and falls in love with it or something. I don't know, I thought it was Bella at first, but it was a different actor, and shit was flashing everywhere and I just didn't fucking understand what was happening. [/sp] who the fuck knows.

Implying twilight is not a sadistic movie already. It has tortured so many watchers.

I think they've just misinterpreted the symptoms here. The death of ones manhood has been known to cause seizures similar to those experienced by epileptic patients.
