Re: Twilight.

when ffr'ers that hate fanboys become fanboys of being against fanboys. wait wut

No, I just truly hate how incredibly lame and overrated this is. It personally bugs me because pretty much every girl I know has become ZOMGTWILIGHT obsessed, over this?

It's just pathetic :/
I'd rather see them obsessed over Runescape, which I loathe almost as much as Twilight.

It was a new view, you just chose to ignore it, that was a pretty ignorant statement. You should be able to think whatever you want, it's a shame you couldn't be a little more open minded and tried to enjoy the book. I know I did, I also thought it was gay at first.

K, what's new about it?
You better come back with an essay, because it's gonna be hard for you to make your point here.

Wow me.

Re: Twilight.

Well I dislike Twilight equally as much because as it's already been said, it's a mockery of romance and literature.

Re: Twilight.

It's a good thing they recreated vampires. Before they were the lamest fictional creatures in existence. And if that is the only reason why you hate the movie and book, try to hear/read 'vampire' as something else. That shouldn't be a big deal.

So I should have to Ctrl+F, replace all "Vampire" with "Silly Twat" because Steffy Meyer can't distinguish what vampires are?

...

Oh, yeah. Hey, you know, I'll just drop a hammer on my foot, call it something other than "pain" and ****ing eat an ice-cream cone to celebrate how awesome it is. And the diarrhea I'll get, as I'm lactose intolerant, I'll call that something else, too, and ****ing eat another ice-cream cone because of how awesome it is.

EDIT: And I'm glad you like your vampires non-lame. That's cool. And by "not lame" you mean you like your vampires as non threatening creatures that when entering direct sunlight sparkle like diamond studded marble.

So goddamn cool.

I am a writer. And the fact that **** like this gets published and eaten up distresses me. It's an utterly hollow, hollow book that is only popular because some people haven't attached a definition to the word 'love' yet and find that this book fills that niche, even though the 'love' expressed in the novels is abusive and dangerous. And selfish.

It's a vapid exercise in taking what girls think they want and writing it down. And then the young men will follow, thinking that the books will serve as a guideline for how they should act, seeing as the women like it so much.

Oh, hey, girl. I like you. But we can never be together. But just in case, I'm going to remove your car engine so you can't see another guy. And I'll watch you sleep. And I'll follow you around and make sure you're not interested in anyone else, even if I tell you to be. And you should be interested in someone else, because I'm telling you to be. But if you are, I'll rip his head off. But I want you to be. Aren't I so cool? Look at my smoldering eyes. Look at my smoldering body. Could you write down, please, how good my clothes make me look?

It's aggrivating as hell because there are NO REDEEMING QUALITIES AT ALL. I fell like I'm taking crazy pills, I really do.

The difference between Harry Potter and Twilight? I feel the need to bring this up because Harry Potter was the last book series to bring kids from out in front of the TV and actually make them read.

Harry Potter is not very well written. It's written in a very plain-text style without a lot of embellishment. But it created a world that so many people wanted to escape to, and it managed to tell a compelling, intense, and fun story over seven books.

Twilight does not. The story is absolute trash.

Twilight: I love Edward. Edward loves me. Every boy loves me. Oh, bad vampire. He's dead.
New Moon: Oh, Edward is gone. I guess I'll go all suicidal. Oh, wait, he's back.
Eclipse: Oh, the vampire's girlfriend from the first book is back. Oh, wait, she's dead now. So is Laurent. Oh, hey, another boy loves me, isn't this swell.
Breaking Dawn: I got married, SQUEEEEEE! Snap, I'm pregnant. Oh, cool, now I'm a vampire. Oh, cool, I can automatically control my blood lust. Oh, cool, there isn't a big war fought over my daughter so the hundreds of pages of buildup mean nothing. Oh, cool, the other guys in love with me find someone else including my infant daughter. Oh, cool, my Dad finds another woman to take care of him besides me. Oh, cool, I get to live forever and have awesome vampire sex and I'll be 19 this is the best. And I've had to give nothing up. Isn't this a great realistic expectation I've set?

It's like... If Voldemort, at the end of book 7, walked in to the school, and Harry was all, "Oh, hey, let's not fight." And Voldemort was all, "Cool." And they made tea-cozies.

If I could, I would literally - LITERALLY - slap every single person who could not justify to me in a reason that makes freakin' sense that likes the Twilight series. I can forgive the movie, because "OOOH, AHH, SOMETHING MOVING ON SCREEN DURRRR," but not the books.

Re: Twilight.

@cherrygirl1223

It's not the popularity that counts. In fact, popularity shouldn't equal quality (although I don't deny there is some correlation). People can be entertained by the weirdest things, these days, srsly, but I suppose that's all personal preference. Just because a book is successful does not mean it is 'good.' I find Twilight to be a nice example of this. The story is, at best, mediocre, and yet it has formed a large fanbase. ?_?

That said, I personally think both the book and movie suck. Hard.

That is all.

[neobludragon]

Re: Twilight.

Not only is it bad literature, but also it makes vampires look bad. I know vampires don't exist but I mean hell, vampires are suppose to just suck the blood out of there victims not make them fall in love with them. They don't care for humans they just want to feed. It's books like these that piss me off about vampires because they don't stick to the original myths about vampires. They create new ones and then people wanna become a vampire.

P.S. I love how south park makes fun of twilight HAHA. You guys should go watch that episode. It's the latest episode. www.southparkstudios.com if you want it in high quality.

Re: Twilight.

I'm not going to see this crap. They'll probably spend 15 min. on how the fuken vampires sparkle in the sunlight.

[MalReynolds]

Re: Twilight.

They spend about 2 minutes on it, but it's just as retarded as it sounds.

[xinpig]

Re: Twilight.

The whole series isnt all that great in my opinion. The "vampires" are too tame compared to their usual portrayal.

lol fuken valley girls that think they are so cool. You're like my sister. in my opinion using these forums is about just as bad as playing runescape, which neither are bad IMO as long as you don't talk about them.. anyways go use myspace where girls like you spend 4 hours a day making bulletins saying "like pc4pc!" and editing your profile constantly.

if you noticed i kinda ranted and flamed alot sorry, i guess this is my vent to my sister.

How was this ignored? God, I love you Mal. You say what I want to say to everyone like cherrygirl. The fact that the mass of Twilight fans are that ignorant just makes me throw my head back and laugh.
