Twilight

[Aumaan Anubis]

And in a spontaneous decision to be ontopic, I'd like to announce that Rotten Tomatoes has given Twilight a 44%.
So basically, it's not well liked. I, myself, have not seen it, but it's probably not going to be considered the best movie, or and enjoyable movie, by most of you.
But by all means, be brave.

Canada sucks.

You're about to die.

Aumaan Anubis you made me laugh.

I haven't heard, read, or seen much of Twilight. All I got to compare it to is South Park and their parody of Vamp kids vs. Goth kids.
I lol'd for the most part, so if you're worried the real Twilight movie might make you sick to your stomach, watch South Park.

I do know that people in Georgia (while I was there) had the book everywhere.
But hey, Georgia's crazy. >_>

To be honest, I tried reading through to book. I really did.

But why do they SPARKLE?

Eh, the only connection they made to Twilight was when they mentioned it in the gym room of their school. It was making fun of Hot Topic kids more than anything. I was actually looking forward to some funny references.

But why do they SPARKLE?

No clue. It's better than the conventional "Holy shit I'm melting". It's nice to see different ideas sometimes. She had no pre-knowlege about vampires when she wrote the book; she made her own kind, etc.

I don't know, I wasn't going to say anything about it, but the whole "Twilight is ghey" bandwagon is not only a little late, but it's old. It's just what it was like with Harry Potter and "wizrds r ghey", I don't care about the genre or different types. I don't care that the fan base is mostly a bunch of screaming teenage schoolgirls, that doesn't make everyone who reads it like that, as it doesn't make all the Harry Potter fans nerds.
Basically, what I'm saying is... Grow up.

For those who actually gave it a shot and still hated it, all I have to say is that Twilight is the slowest of them all. I don't even enjoy reading it very much. I usually skip the first half.

I took one for the team, but I fell asleep. about halfway through, I knocked out until the credits.

[G.I.R.]

Harry Potter

Don't even think about going there. That is the same defensive action of each and every single Twilight fantard.

[-Legendary-]

Some girls said it wasn't as good as the book so eh dump

[SHOUTrvb]

Some of you guys are awful about making a subjective opinion falsely objective. And G.I.R., though the situations are different, in regards to the Harry Potter reference, the principle is close, so JK has a valid point. We can't defend things just because we like them. Hating on something simply for the stigma attached is only excluding you from the good something might have to offer. For instance, Twilight wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but it still a few entertaining parts.

It's a solid reference :\ Whenever I walked through school with a Harry Potter book, I got the same looks from my friends that I did when my friends saw me reading Twilight (once they knew what it even was).
I'm not fighting over this. I like the series, a lot of you don't, I don't care. You can hate it all you want and I don't loose the slightest bit of sleep, all I'm saying is it's a little pathetic seeing the extremes people go to to defend the fact that it's a book for fairyboys and school girls, and I'll admit it gets a little irritating at times.


It's just a fucking book.
That's a concept that some people who like the book can't grasp, and it's a concept that people who hate it cant grasp.
We all have different book taste, and I generally respect it. But I just have to say some of the comments I've seen in here are just sad.

Either this stops, or the topic should be locked.

[G.I.R.]

I'm not telling you not to like it, I'm telling you not to say Twilight it better literature than books like Harry Potter. You can like the book, I don't care, but saying it's AMAZING WRITING is just retarded.

[JK-47]

I never said it was better, it was a direct comparison.
The books are agreeably a bit overrated. It shouldn't be as big as it is, but it is.

I assumed that was the direction you were heading. I'm sorry.

Hugs?

[JK-47]

[V0Lt4Ge]

Hmm... I'll just say it doesn't look like a movie I would enjoy, and keep it to that.

[WaeV]

I went for my sister's birthday party, and it wasn't bad.

[Corvette19]

OMG ITS EDWAAAAARD

People are obsessed, and people told me that people were all like "OMG ITS EDWARD" when he came up in the movie.

That is all I was asking for. A simple sentence. I'm glad you kept what you had civil without hating on the book/movie or going as far as comparing it to other books/movies.

OMG ITS EDWAAAAARD
