FU for the latter part of your headline!

In other news, teenage girls are dumb and have poor taste in movies.

Just a minor correction..

While I won't be watching said movie, I admire big numbers, particularly when expressed in the form of currency. I would therefore like to say hi to the publicist that submitted this link, and pitch my movie Hours of Throbbing Vampire Sex starring Cameron Diaz and myself. And a bunch of other chicks.

It's a winner.

Sorry. It was bothering me.

The saddest part is that I'm sure a significant portion of that money total is comprised of said teenage girls and emo kids going back to see the movie a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time.

I think Hollywood has had quite enough with Cameron Diaz after seeing how big of a failure her Box was last week.

If what I detect of the mindless chatter of the overweight, sad, lonely women of ANY age group here all gasping orgasmically about this inane franchise is true ... you can go back to the original headline, but qualify it with "overweight, sad, lonely, emo females are dumb".

I was half expecting someone to get arrested for showing up to a midnight showing dressed as either Blade, Dracula, or Van Helsing and causing a big scene.

. . . and so is anyone who paid a single dollar to see Transformers2 or GI Joe or Paul Blart or. . .

My condolences to all the boyfriends that got dragged to see this drivel.

Blade would be hilarious.

Someone posted that concept in a "how Twilight should have ended" De-Motivator poster (Blade standing behind the two tweenie sparkly stars of this dreck).

The thing is, I paid to see Transformers 2 in theatre, and I consider it money well spent.

BUT, I grew up with the cartoon, and I was going just because I wanted to see giant space robots beat each other to hell. I got my money's worth. I'm well aware the movies are pretty terrible and have some really disturbing tendencies to racism (in a movie about giant robots from outer space, no less), but I enjoy them entirely for the nostalgia.

There's no such excuse for anyone into Twilight. There's no nostalgic effect, and to make it worse, the fans will scream about how good the books and movies are.

If they admitted it was a guilty pleasure but they'll see anything with vampires in it, glitter or not, I wouldn't care nearly as much.

When I was a kid I used to go see everything with Don Knotts and Tim Conway in it and anything prominently featuring a chimp - so I can't cast any stones here.

tag broken?

benlonghair: My condolences to all the boyfriends that got dragged to see this drivel.

Mine go out to the parents...not the menopause maidens that want to see it, but the ones dragged there.

Eh. My (our?) generation had Titanic, which was just as stupid. Although it did have propeller guy. Can't fault propeller guy.

We are a lost people, this is irrefutable now. Imagine this, in a few years, people who like this shiat will graduate the 'superior' american colleges and either get jobs that affect you or whine for being discriminated against (not accepting no one wants to hire stupid, shallow, vapid people... and how that is not illegal).

My...my god...they could start assigning Twilight in classrooms.

i mean, it is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet! Who needs all that stupid old Shakespearean nonsense, anyhow? with all the 'thee's and 'thy's and 'marry's.

as long as the kids are reading, right?

/right?

I disagree with anyone trying to split Subby's headline into finer distinctions. It's the girls. Yeah...ALL of them. Every female-person I know, including my wife, mother-in-law, and every one of my friends (except for my own mother, who is a very no-BS lady) wants to see this movie to some degree, or has already seen it. It ranges from, "looks fun, I'll check it out," to "OMG BEST MOVIE EVAR I'M SEEING IT FOR THE 4TH TIME TODAY SQUEEEE!!!", shrieked while jumping up and down in a sticky puddle.

Meanwhile, not even the promise of being the only dude in a room so full of horny females that the entire theatre smells less like popcorn than it does a harborside seafood market is enough to entice a single fella I know into buying a ticket to this estro-fest. Hell, even my GAY friends are like, "Jesus CHRIST, no."

They can keep Twilight out of the classroom. Read it at home. No term papers on the books.
Please, for the love of god, KEEP IT OUT OF THE CLASSROOM.
Public schools are no place for sparkly, Mormon vampires.

The English Major: Please, for the love of god, KEEP IT OUT OF THE CLASSROOM.

seeing this book in the classroom could be closer to reality than you can imagine. The district I once live in over a period of 10 - 15 years attempted to ban The Catcher in the Rye, The Giver, Huck Finn, The Lord of the Flies and Dracula on moral grounds.

Sparkly Vampire asexual tripe just might be what the doctor ordered for helicopter moms who don't want their snowflakes thinking. Plus, there are movies the kids can watch instead of actually reading the books.

Finally tried watching the first (and considered better) Twilight film last night and have to add my name to the list of (mostly guys) who don't get it.

Bravo to those people who dialed this one up and raked in the cash, that's where the real praise deserves to go.

I hated Catcher in the Rye. Read it in college. Helicopter parents would want to ban it for instilling a sense of wanderlust in their children. Ditto with Huck Finn (okay, and the continual usage of one word).

Never read The Giver.

The Lord of the Flies would cause damage to fat, bespectacled children everywhere; as a fat, bespectacled child who grew up to be a fat, bespectacled adult, I thought it was a good book.

Dracula is awesome because it's a great epistolary novel. It's hard to find a good epistol nowadays.

/let's ban Twilight because it involves...um...pre-op transsexuals

It's not like the people who hate on Twilight are posting from the line to a showing of Le Carrosse d'or.

It's more like UGHCAN YOU BELIEVE THE WORLD IS DEPRIVED OF FIRELY II AND CLERKS III FOR THE TERRIBLY WRITTEN SPARKLY VAMPIRES!?

yogaFLAME: Eh. My (our?) generation had Titanic, which was just as stupid. Although it did have propeller guy. Can't fault propeller guy.


I can proudly say that I never watched it when it was in theaters.

Don't forget gay dudes.

When will this vampire crap end?

unfarkingbelievable: When will this vampire crap end?


Even worse:

I heard they're doing a "Fright Night" remake. Yeesh.

/The best vampire movie of the 80s, IMHO.
//Bonus points for Marcy D'Arcy's jacked-up grill.

I'm more disturbed at all the Twilight memorabilia being sold at the theater last night.* They didn't even do that for the Harry Potter flicks. Sadly, I don't think it's going to be a one-time thing and we'll probably see it happen more often with whatever is deemed the next Golden Goose Franchise.


*no, I was not watching New Moon.

Nope, it should have stayed the same. Titanic was the chicks fault too. Now it's another generation gone wrong.

In defense of the girls (and the gay guys), if you consider how much utter garbage straight guys consider entertainment (Transformers, WWF, Monster Trucks, etc.) we all might do well to let them have their emo fantasy porn and stfu.

Maybe it is who i hang out with. I've never had to listen to someone go on about transformers, WWF or monster trucks for 2 hours at work. These are 30 year old women talking about this movie and it is annoying as hell.

This needs an tag

MaxxLarge: It's the girls. Yeah...ALL of them.

I am a girl and I do not want to see this movie. I didn't even realize they were making another one. I am also sick of seeing those farking idiots on the cover of every magazine in the aisles every.single.time. I go to the grocery store.

Please do not lump all of my gender in a group of farkwits because your friends are all crazy.

/my mom made me go see Titanic.
//the set designs were the highlight of the movie.

Pretty much this, including my sister-in-law. Whenever any of the women I know start to go on and on about it and get a fondue going in their panties, I'm like Homer's brain, walking out while listening to Flanders go on about apples.

I'm not really surprised.

/GIS "the giver" with safesearch off

I maintain that the Twilight movies should be rated NC-17 so these dumb teenage girls can't absorb the warped ideas ideas about relationships these movies promote.

/suicide pacts are romantic, guys!
//saw the movie
///and read the books
////but knows better and just made fun of them mercilessly

I feel sorry for the poor bastards whose girlfriends/wives, etc drug them to that damn movie.

Also, if you haven't seen it the rifftrax for twilight is hilarious.

Hey at least our porn is honest. When the DVD says Backdoor Sluts #37, nobody tries to pretend it's something it's not. Certainly nobody goes on and on about the brilliant writing and acting (though some appreciation of the talents on display may be involved).

my bad I meant "dragged to that damn movie".. i was thinking that you had to be on drugs to go to it in the first place.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?


\happens to be dating a non overweight emo girl

benlonghair: My condolences to all the boyfriends that got dragged to see this drivel.


Thank you. Your condolences are MORE THAN appreciated....

Yet for some reason, I STILL got called an inconsiderate asshole at the end of the night.

Given the success of Transformers 2 I don't really think guys are in any position to judge girls taste in movies.

/Has never read/watched a Twilight book/movie, has no plans to.

I'm a girl and personally feel that Twilight is torture. I tried to read the first book and by page 70 gave up. Everyone said I just had to read it. Nope- hated it and was bored out of my skull. I have no reason to go see any of the movies plus Robert Patterson is freaky looking.

I have lots of friends (aged 30 and up) who think the whole thing is farking amazing. I just don't get it but I get stuck hearing about it all the time.

Last three movies I saw were Inglorious Basterds, Zombieland and Men who Stare at Goats.

I'm telling you, it's the lack of boy bands around today. Teenage girls don't have any other awful shiat to waste their allowance money on.

My favorite movies are Tron, Disney's Robin Hood, El Dorado, Snatch, Night of the Blood Beast, and Repo: The Genetic Opera.
