i love the backlash - where was this intensity when harry potter was the rage? (not referring to topic poster, just y'know, in general). i could care less about the movies because most hyped movies are dumb, but people who call "twilight" literature need to be lobotomized.
actually, come to think of it, we should be thankful for this sort of thing. it allows to view the superficiality of those that would cling to trends like herpes to a Bangkok whore.

Today's youth is generally moronic, except for the kids who recognize this as shit, and should go back to harry potter (excellent literature) lord of the rings (ver good literature) or even anything written by f*cking George Orwell, or Eugene Zamiatin (probably the best 2 books ever are WE and 1984, written by those authors, not respectively)handofpwn said:
Harry Potter was actually pretty alright. Twilight is the toilet paper with which Bram Stoker wiped his ass.ironfist86 said:
I've somehow managed to miss this whole twilight thing. I haven't seen it, heard anything about it or listened to people talk about it. The only information I have is from twilight hate threads on this very forum. This is a weird new experience for me, being amongst people who despise something so utterly, yet continue to bring it up. I've never been an unbiased observer before (Though by the very act of posting, I'm giving up said status now), so it's fascinating to see you all wallow in your own hatred like this.

yes but their whole reason for that is to be able to seduce them into a weakened state to kill them

Out of all the things in Twilight, you're bagging on Edward?
Edward's designed to be a fantasy. He's gorgeous, sparkles and is a hopeless romantic who falls in a love with a plain jane book-reader. And he's undead. Being undead is always sexy. It's the epitome of badassery, which is something almost every girl looks for in her fantasies. (not in boyfriends, fantasies. Important distinction)
He is extremely dreamy. He has amazing beautiful eyes. That's the point. The reason why you (and I at first) get upset when girls fawn over him is jealousy. Just like you hated that really cute guy all the girls obsessed over in middle school.
When I try to explain this to guys, I use pornstars as an analogy. They're designed to be fantasies. Just like Edward, the idea of it is completely retarded. There are extremely few girls out there who geniunely enjoy sex with random strangers, moaning the whole time, trying their best to please the man while doing nothing more than rubbing themselves to pleasure themselves.
If guys talked about how hot Bobbi Starr is, or how big Brandy Talore's boobs are, girls would get jealous and start trashing them on forums too. But guys would still thing that they're hot.
Now, what bothers me is how people talk about what a great book it is. It isn't. It's smut. Nothing more. Following the pornstar analogy, is Cum Guzzlers 14* a cinematic masterpiece? Of course not. Do guys heartily enjoy it? Yes. Same thing with Twilight. But a lot of girls talk about what a great series it is. That pisses me off.
*That's probably a real movie, but it was simply an arbitrary porn title.

Exactly. They were still beautiful and seductive, in a way, drop-dead gorgeous. At least, they were according to some mythologies.Mr0llivand3r said:
I hate Twilight. A story about the most pussified vampire ever is not enjoyable. If I had the money and a machine to bring the dead back, I'd make a movie where Bela Lugosi kills every person in the books.
Excellent point. I think common dislikes bring together people just as much as common likes. There really isn't anything productive about either. However, it does give a sense of community (if you can get past the venom).Aardvark said:
