Frak Twilight.

Stephen King was a pussy for not really opening up into this complete bunk.

Did I miss the explanation in the beginning where they explain that it's cloudy to the point of fog %90 of the time because of strange weather + geography? They're not afraid of the sunlight. like Vorlons they can't be seen because every one would recognize them. Fuck twilight! Sunlight makes them so beautiful you can't help but get hard and wet for these deushy little sucks producing veins for their approval since to see them is to love them... The name of this pretentious wank movie doesn't make a lick of sense!

Did I miss the bit where she explains why she doesn't dance? I left the room to mop vomit for a little while but she says she doesn't dance and then later the final showdown is in her childhood dance studio! I was out of the room, but fuck me, why do I think that this crucial explanation about why the girl is so fucking introverted was cut for a longer montage about how love means watching some one sleep? And for all the use of negative space and emotive sighs, they had a montage about Edward and bella "talking" as if showing that the two of them were capable of conversation wouldn't sit well with the wankers into this trip who believe that love at fist sight lasts forever and never has to be justified no matter how long you think you can coast on just having perfect hair.

Poor Elizabeth Reezer. Her character in the lead of the DOOMED the Ex List was also called Bella. That's got to be fricking haunting for her, to be lurked after forever by people asking the actress about the wrong Bella. All though, her hair looked fabulous for once.

the vista in the beginning were painful. the isolationism was distressing, the arrival of the cool kid vampires all dressed in white looking less inbred and 80s than everyone on the set was just goading... Christ on a bike there was no story! Life was miserable so they fell in love for no reason and then they had a baseball game and met a psycho who tried to kill her for no reason and then he failed and they didn't turn her into a vampire so that she could go to the prom. it doesn't take 2 hours to play out those events.

Imagine Scoobie doo fell in love and married a scoobie snack?

Ed fell in love with her because he couldn't read her thoughts after he spent a month being pissed off that he couldn't read her thoughts. Make up your ind is a women who can think sexy or the pits? As if it was something she doing to personally to bait him being mildly more imperceptible them cheese changing colour. Freaking fang tease. And y'know, from listening to her diary entries/thoughts/voiceovers, Eddie is so fucking lucky that he can't hear her mundane art school drop out wank wank thoughts because he would take a knife to his throat to get away from such drivel... maybe she doesn't think? having a brain so devoid of spirit that it can't summon create a narrative after telling it's arms and legs what to do is quite humbling to know that it is stupid people who get the most action sexually because they're too thick not to walk away. It was infinitely more pleasant on True Blood when Sookie fell in love with Bill because he didn't have thoughts flying out of his head pounding her continuously, and it was explained that he had no electricity in his brain so of course she couldn't read the electrical signals in his brain. See! that's how you tell a story. Explaining why things work!

I knew this was going to be a chick flick for virgins, but COME ON! i assumed that it was going to be Rosewell meets Romeo and Juliet, but come on! I was watching something else today and they said "No one remembers where star crossed lover meet, just where they die." Well what a fucked ending! the gorgeous red head who was thrown off Life on mars and Snuk with Four Kings, What about Brian and Swingtown was just about to lay down a smack down broad style but no, ending fucking credits after Beautiful Bella thinks to herself Fuck you Edward I did too want to be a vampire! ...Okay her language was much cleaner but fuck fuck fuck what a tepid maw of indisputably. Eye rape. I must sue.
 
I guess you saw the movie, not read the book. The book makes things a little more clear. I found the books good in a shallow entertaining way, don't get me wrong it's not well written or particularly well plotted, but I thought it was entertaining.
As for the movie, I did think it would come across as you describe when I watched it, but my friends seemed to think it was fairly good, so I figured I was just over thinking it.
 
The movie is the cliff notes version of the book. Just like the Harry Potter movies compared to it's books.

The first book doesn't have much of a plot and the evil Vampires only appeared since the book badly needed some conflict.

The Twilight series isn't particularly written well but there are some good parts about it like several of the characters and mythology. But it's like crack once you start reading it you have to see how it ends. Like I've mentioned before it's a teenage romance with Vampires tacked on. If you get into it expecting lots of blood and gore or sex you'll be disappointed.

It's funny how extreme of a reaction this series gets online. People either love it or hate it. There really is no middle ground.

I found that, too. I read all 4 books in the space of a week, and then The Host, too. I wouldn't say I loved them, but I did find it hard to put them down. It was kinda weird really.
 
"Frak" what's with the "Frak" has tv melted your brain or something? Maybe you should give up watch Battlestar Islamica and go back to doing something a wee bit more productive reading books even if they are trashy novels like Twilight... :rommie:
and as for his highness Stephen King trashing Twlight wow that really is the pot calling the kettle black. As I recall most of King's trashy horror stories are not sold from Moravian or UC Davis Bookstore but sold from the cheap trash novel section of WallMart :guffaw:
 
My sister is hooked on this series, she's read all the books and saw the movie a few times, she said the books are way better than the movie. I've never read it though, but I did watch the movie, the movie was ok, but I guess the books would be way better. Still, IMO Buffy was first, and for me that's all the vampire story I need, anything else is just trying to imitate it IMO. I guess Twilight is the Buffy for this generation of kids. Too bad really, Buffy is way better.
 
I am a 26 year old man and have identified that Twilight isn't really intended for me so I won't be watching or reading it. It's nice that the franchise seems to entertain a lot of people though.

Yes, pot calling kettle black...if kettle had a National Book Awards Medal of Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

She doesn't.

I didn't think I could get away with saying "Fuck Twilight" for the title, but if a moderator would care to edit the title to say "Fuck Twilight" instead of "Frak Twilight" then I will be resigned not to think you all fuddy duddies.

The words "Fuck You Twilight!" were rolling over and over in me again as I watched the movie and those words needed to get out. I knew this movie was going to be horrid, but I wasn't prepared for how much worse it was than my imagination prepared me for, so a stream of my expletives lyriced the endsong credits. But anger turned to miswonder after about 5 minutes so Fuck you twilight became "Fuck Twilight" because I couldn't be bothered processing all the venom in my buffer after absorbing all this twaddle, which became "Frak Twilight" since apparently bad words are expected to be used rarely by gentlemen.
 
I'm glad to know this movie is as bad as I expected, Guy. I will not be watching, and have no intention of reading the books. Word-of-mouth had already reached me through several friends who confirmed that the writing was rather uninspiring. May those who enjoy it do so, as with all things, but to me it's just a rehash of various ideas that have been done before, done to death, and done better.

Frankly, I don't know why Anne Rice hasn't sued.
 
Brad Pitt's rendition of Remmy looks like the Mask compared to these listful hand down their pants broody kids.
 
"Fuck Twilight" is about right. I haven't read the book or seen the movie, and I have no intention to, but the fact that I can't go anywhere either in real life or on the internet without hearing something about it has already given me a healthy amount of contempt for the fanchise.

" Battlestar Islamica

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?


It means what it means, what's "frak" got to do with anything. I call it turning a blind eye Muslimstar Galactica and the cult of Eick and Moore while trashing a stupid novel that's easy to trash anyways!
You know guys I've got some pretty liberal values myself, I believe less religion should be in schools, I support a woman's right to choose and I think Iraq is a disaster we inherited from the Bush admin.
I call that show Muslimstar Galactica because that's what it is, I might have liberal values, I might believe the state of Palestine shoud exist but one thing I will never defend is Muslim Barbarism and crap scifi writing.
This is the trouble with some of you people on the far left, you have become a joke and when Hollyweird idiots like Moore try to portray America as a fascist state being attacked by heroic suicide bombers many of you jump up and clap. RDM has being displaying a big boner for the muslims ever since he done those suicide bomber episodes in Trek. Look across the Muslim world - this is where the real sexism, oppression and misogyny is taking place. Women beaten in Shiite regions, women treated as objects, women not allowed drive cars in Wahhabist Saudi Arabia, Women stoned to Death
yet you radical liberals want to focus all your energy on bashing some silly author and her trashy vamp novel because you think she supports some kind of molestation or rape by allowing a vampire to bite her. I've no doubt Twilight is probably a junk novel, maybe even worse than Stephen King's stuff.
I know some of you guys from the battlestar islam threads, you are an embarrassment to the left.
but what's even more ridiculous is you people bashing this vampire book in the name of defending femism is that you guys are the same kinds of people who say Muslim rioters are Peaceful and Misunderstood, the same people who jumped up and clapped when RDM delivered the final five pillars of islam and the same kinds of people who say America is a horrible influence on the world
