The Abomination that is Twilight

Sorry, but that girl's weird slack jawed smile makes her kinda weird looking. She gets an X.

Now that Asian girl off to the side...

You and you Asian girls.

Tee hee, I know ^_^

Don't know what it is, but out of that whole crowd, the Asian is the most attractive to me, though that's not really saying much in that crowd...

Get over it, and ignore it if you don't like it. No one is forcing you to sit down and watch or read it. Grow up!

Sums up my view. Twilights been done to death. Isnt there something better to hate on? Justin biebers fairly popular now.

I don't much care for twilight. Now that being said, I did give it a chance at first (it's not fair to hate something, just to hate something) hoping the movie depiction was the problem, but the source material wasn't much better. When I read and saw the movie I found the characters and the mythology behind them appear to be rather weak and don't appear to bring anything new to the romance genre.

Also I hate the whole team Edward/ Jacob thing promoters companies have begun because it's all irrelevant. Anyone who has glanced through the books or read Wikipedia, know that *Spoilers* Edward gets the girl and Jacob develops romantic feeling for their (Edward and Bella's) half-vamp daughter *End Spoilers*

Nevertheless, with two more movies in the future I fear we will never hear the end of it T__T and I doubt my comic con will ever be the same thanks to all the twihards

Not into MILFs for this one?

It's funny with a series that carries the stigma of marital troubles and divorce because of social obsession.

She's probably got the M, but not the ILF

Yeah, you can only really see the face. Not like Bendy McCleavage in the front row there.

If you were smart you'd go to the theater and pick up some grade A pussy like I do.

Little did Pimppeter2 know, that grade A pussy is actually codeword for jailbait.

Not in Sweden it ain't!

God bless our right to have sex with 16 year old women.

Where I live in America, 16 is also our age of consent

Eat that, socialist bastards..

In America Age of Consent is 16 but if you are OVER 21 you cannot have relations with someone UNDER 18

And they're making a third one because there are already 4 very popular books, and they'd dissapoint more people than they pleased if they cancelled the last one.

I may be dating myself here, but I experienced the same phenomena back in high school when Titanic came out. I had (girl)friends in my class who saw it in the theater 12, 14, and even 20 times (by their own admission), for no other reason than they found Leonardo DiCaprio to be hot. That's it. I asked them what they thought about the plot or the special effects, and their response was usually "Who cares? Leo is amazing."

So there it is. James Cameron's most successful movie (pre-2009) wasn't because of his script or his vision or his budget, it was because of that wonderful chemical process known as puberty that makes teenage girls insane.

Twilight benefits from the very same process.
As usual, science explains all

Thanks so much for making me feel old for remembering exactly what you're talking about. I hope you're happy!

But seriously, that reaction to Titanic annoyed the crap out of me for a good long spell - the movie wasn't any good until the bloody ship started sinking, grah! So it would have been nice if I could just shake my head sadly and offer my condolences to the members of the younger generation for having to put up with Twilight fangirls, but I get to experience all of that annoyance first hand thanks to my Twilight-obsessed younger sister. Note that when I say "younger", I mean younger by slightly more than one year, making her well more than old enough to 'know better'.

Hearing her sing the praises of crap that literally every other member of her family tells her is crap[footnote]Our mother was subjected to the movie and reported that "the acting was so bad, it felt like watching a Spanish soap opera, only without any of the fun". I gave her a high five when she told me that.[/footnote] is insufferably annoying. I am not looking forward to the after action report on Eclipse (she is of course watching it right now with a slew of her (female) friends) that I will inevitably be subjected to, not looking forward to it at all.

ALUCARD is amused at all this talk of fake vampires, he will now kill you all

edit: damn, didn't see the video till the end, bastard pissed me off by shooping Integra...w/e, Alucard will just kill him too i suppose.

 

[JackRyan64]

I've never read/seen any of the Twilight books. You know why? Because I'm not a prepubescent girl! I'm clearly not the person that those books were written for, of course I'm gonna hate them! I guess I don't really understand the deep hatred people have for Twilight. I like to compare it to a thirty-year-old man covered in cheeto dust saying "ARRRRRRRRRRGH! BARBIE HORSE ADVENTURES JUST ISN'T A QUALITY PRODUCT! I HATE IT WITH ALL OF MY HEART!"

 

[teutonicman]

I had no idea it was even coming out until I went to the theatre tonight and saw that it was sold out. I was also thinking as I was driving home about what kind of movie it would take for me to see a midnight screening. Not one has come to mind, not even a Bat-flick.

 

[VegetaPrinceofSaiyans]

If any of you have problems with family/friends that seem to be obsessed with twilight, worry not, for there is a simple solution. Sit them down and make them watch the entire Hellsing series. Then see if they love their twilight "vampires" half as much as they used to now that they have been exposed to badass, true vampires

 

[natster43]

Eh, New Moon wasn't the worst movie I have ever seen. That title belongs to Paranormal Activity. I will probably watch it with RiffTrax when it comes out, also I have to watch Twilight with RiffTrax as well.

You laugh now, but just you wait!

OBAMA WILL TURN YOU INTO COMMUNISTS!

AND FASCISTS!

AT THE SAME TIME!

lol he will simultaneously force us into two opposing ideologies neither of which are remotely related to his policies

 

[Caligulove]

People don't like popular things.

That or they actually read it and they realize that, yea, it REALLY IS complete garbage.

Funny how that one comment evolved and has suddenly turned half this thread from just another random bashing of Twilight into a thread about preferance in women.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I think it's very easy to ignore and you're making too big a deal about it. You know that we've had too many Twilight threads just today, and yet you still want to create more hate about it? Really?

Get over it, and ignore it if you don't like it. No one is forcing you to sit down and watch or read it. Grow up!

My thoughts exactly! I am so sick and fucking tired of hearing people gripe about Twilight. I'm almost to the point of migrating over to a Twilight forum just so I can stop hearing people gripe about it. ¬_¬

 

[Arehexes]

I love the hype, anyone seen the Burger King Ad and the girl says Edward has 100 years knowing what love is. That means Edward would be a pedophile, and it was said on the ad so people now can't say I'm spouting crap.

 

[Crimson King]

I was talked into reading the books by a friend and found them to be well written enough to see through to the end (this was before the movies came out) but I took a step back and looked at the big ugly picture: some twat is trying to have a love affair with whats supposed to be a force of darkness that is hundreds of years old yet suffers from teenage angst.
At that point I dismissed the books' take on vampires and pretty much everything else and hawked them at the next yard sale.

Whenever I see the preview for Eclipse I imagine that the big fight is occuring for my amusement, hedonist/gladiator style!
