Wait...What did you say?

[Julianking93]

Twilight the books is crap, and i hated the movie for one sole reason. Why would you play a Radiohead song, a really good song, i might add, after a movie so tremendously god-awful!

Wait, there was a Radiohead song in that shit movie???

I could only stand to watch that movie for about 20 minutes before I said "NO!!!"

In the very end of the movie, thay play "15 Step"

What!!!??? That's one of my favorite Radiohead songs! Why Thom Yorke, why? That song doesn't even fit the movie!

 

[JoshasorousRex]

Well that's strange. Isn't that book pointed towards the group that like Jonas Brothers and other Disney artists?

I rarely Find any vampire film these days any good based on a book or not. Yes vampires have gone soft there not predators hunting humans creatures of shadow and blood lurking in the dark.

 

[murphy7801]

In this example, no I don't. Why should I?

We're talking fantasy here. If someone - or something - can live eternally, and is forever stuck at, say, 18 years old "mark", there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

And last time I checked - that is, when they showed the trailers for the movie this fall - the guy didn't seem like he was 90.

It's fucking vampires. If you get turned into a vampire when you're 16, you're fucking 16 now, 16 a hundred years later, 16 a million years later and so on.

Because the person is not 16, they may look 16 but they have the years of experience and maturity of someone nearly 6 times that age.


So let me rephrase it, if a 90 year old man, got plastic surgery to look younger would it be any less wrong?

the answer is yes.

It all comes down to emotional, sexual and mental maturity, which the teenage girl is lacking in all areas and the 90yr old man(though he looks 16) has in abundance(though I guess not in the twilight books).

thats one more problem with books like twilight and where Ann Rice got it right with Claudia and meyers got it wrong with Edward. Claudia "grew up" even though she still technically looked like a child. For Edward to still act 16 even though he has had years to mature is just really bad writing and imagination on the authors part.

Yes quite the character should have been taken into two ways either he is 90 and be so jaded with the repetition of life. Or he is emotional stuck at his age and he would he be frustrated with failing same way stuck in same flawed existence. hay thats by opinion.

Twlight shamed the word Vampire. If you mentioned vampires before, people thought Dracula or Van Helsing. Now, it's "You mean Twlight? OMG, I FUCKING love Twlight!!!" Isn't Edward so HOT?!"
It's disgusting...

I remember, this one time, my fiance wouldn't shut up about how 'good' the books were, and I can't stand them, so, while she watched, I burnt the fuckers in a big fire, and explained to her, that a good book is the LOTR series, including The Hobbit and Silmarilion, and that the Twilight series is no more than a piece of shit, placed on paper with pretty wrapping. I then went on to explain that destroying Vampires like she did, was a slap in the face to vampire stories in history, and that vampires can't have children, regardless of what those fucking books say, because they are undead, meaning all bodily functions, such as the reproductive system, have ceased to operate.

She still cried and yelled at me, and her brother punched me in the face, but we're still together, and she knows that she's not to mention the books, movies or anything to me ever again, and that if I see anything in her room that has a Twilight theme, it will be burnt.

 

[ae86gamer]

Win.

Anywho, I suggest not reading it. I've read a few chapters of the book (I was forced to by people whose names I will not mention, i.e. some of my lame friends) and I absolutely hated it.

 

[HentMas]

That was pretty much my reaction when my mom told me that she liked Twilight.

Now, I have always known my mother to have very good taste in literature, although her tastes often differ from my own. Understandibly, when she told me about her opinion on Twilight, I was quite shocked.

I have never actually read the books but I assumed, due to the verbal and textual beatings the series has recieved on this and other forums, they were shit.

I am now considering reading the books myself to find the truth behind this and I can't help but think that maybe we all missed something here.

Was my assessment of my mother's taste in books inaccurate? Has this happened to anyone else?

never... and i mean this, NEVER pay attention to what random people in the internet say, always take it with a grain of salt, question everything, you dont know if someone else is going to hate something that you might actually enjoy.

and of course, dont pay attention to me haha

If you can't be bothered to read them but you're curious or whatever, this is far more entertaining. The books are lulzy enough on their own, but there is a lot of drab to get through.

ACTUAL TEXT FROM FORTH BOOK

?You didn?t,? I snarled at him.

He backed away, palms up, trying to reason with me. ?You know it?s not something I can control.?

?You stupid mutt! How could you? My baby!?

?C?mon, Bells! Nessie likes me, too,? he insisted.

I froze. My breathing stopped. Behind me, I heard the lack of sound that was [the Cullens?] anxious reaction.

?What... did you call her??

Jacob took a step farther back, managing to look sheepish. ?Well,? he mumbled, ?that name you came up with is kind of a mouthful and??

?You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?" I screeched.

And then I lunged for his throat.

Twilight series guide for men:
If you are currently of the age where it is acceptable to chase women aged 15-23: read them, and if the topic comes up, speak as though it was at least mildly interesting series. The target audience will love you for it. I myself actually enjoyed the series and explain to many a fellow man that the teens in the hot-topic twilight shirts aren't retarded...
They're brilliant.
Part human. Part emo-kid. Perfect hunter.
They know they're prey... and everything about them draws them in... their messy black hair... their skinny jeans... even their understanding of the twilight relationship map...
alright enough slaughtering of vampire catchphrases.
seriously, if you like vampires, it's not bad, there are better vampire books out there... Dhampir from the Hendee's being a particular favorite of mine...
In my personal opinion, if they didn't sparkle the series would be solid. And threatening to spontaneously burst into flames in the middle of a crowded city sounds a bit more serious than threatening to bear your perfect glitter coated chest.

Oh oh oh oh oh! By the way people, did you know that before the whole "I love you you love me OMG EPIC" scene, Edward watched her sleep at night? In the first book, it was kind of glossed over and I imagined him perched on a tree outside or something, BUT NOOOOOO, I read Midnight Sun (same story from Edwards point of view) and he actually opened the window, went in AND SAT IN A CHAIR IN THE CORNER OF HER ROOM OMGWTF.

Oh, and because the window was creaky the first time, he brought oil the second time so she wouldn't hear him going in OMFG STALKER LULZ

 

[Altorin]

read them if you're at all interested, form your own ideas. Noone cares really

anyone who tells you not to read or watch something can go to hell.. Today it's some shmuck online, tomorrow it's the government, and then you're really in trouble.

Read it, if you don't like it, then you won't like it, and you'll be able to have a real discussion with your mom, instead of "Umm gaiz online sai its reely dum lol, y u liek it?"

 

[tsb247]

Yeah, Twilight broke vampires... Twilight sucks!

Since when do vampires sparkle in sunlight?!

 

[shwnbob]

I read the first one and couldn't stomach reading the other ones. They suck so very badly.

 

[Mozared]

Now for a more important question, how many of you Twilight haters have actually read the book? I'd be genuinely surprised if more than a handful of peeps actually took the courtesy of reading the series before trashtalking it. I am in fact getting edgy to read them myself in order to form a decent opinion on it.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Same thing happened to be when my mom though Angles and Demons and The Davinci code was brilliant

I feel your pain, my friend. What a horrible, horrible day.

I don't mean to offend anyone but I thought about reading it, but the idea of homosexual vampires isn't very appealing.

Homosexual?
Where in Twilight did you found homosexuality?

I thought they were all gay... Isnt that what its about, gay rights and stuff? No, I guess that would have given it some meaning and depth. XD

I see all of you bury Twilight before even watching or reading it. That's called ignorance.
Twilight is about love. Not straight or gay or fish love. Just pure love. The example they took was a normal girl and a vampire dude. I saw the movie and read the first book. I didn't like it. But i will not tolerate ignorance. Sorry.

I read the books. The love story was horribly plotted, the dialogue was shyeet, and the characters were flat and lifeless. I seriously envisioned Bella Swan as a statue. That was about the measure of her personality.

I might have liked it if Meyer had attempted to make her characters more than cardboard cutouts.

You should really read everything every written by Anne Rice. Preferably as quickly as possible.

All good vampires are bi. And not fucking sparkly.

 

[Captain Blackout]

twilight is for hopeless romantic skinny teens that have a very warped view of what is and isn't right

like how if you killed dozens or hundreds of people in cold blood it's ok as long as you have a backkground sobstory

It worked for natural born killers. Just sayin'...

P.S. sorry for the double post
