jaylectricity: It's frickin February.

And the prices are CRAZY!, CRAZY, CRAZY!

90% of everything is crap, including people. If you understand and accept that simple rule of life, then you will begin to just steer clear of radio, network television, award shows, theaters in the summertime, and any other media outlet that is generally driven by the tastes of the aforementioned 90% crap consumer masses. Why get frustrated over it? Just enjoy what you enjoy and hope that nobody remakes it, cancels it, or that the lead singer doesn't find God.

For the article, and for anyone who'd buy Breaking Dawn.

The worst part is that I lost the chess match and the StarCraft tournament which means I'm going to have to be the one that rents Breaking Dawn at the monthly pot luck. Why? Because the Riff Trax is worth it. Not by much, and especially not if someone sees me and recognizes me, but it's worth it.

Thankfully there's at least a month before I need to rent it. And I'll be damned if I lose at StarCraft again, even if I have to get up and beat the other player with my keyboard.

I'm trying to imagine what would make all three of them do that.

Hilda was asking for a larger, more dramatic part in the series.

the picture's file name is too perfect!

Bought it for my girl for Valentines day. Worth it to me cause shes a Twilight fan. And plus, It was great for rifting it. I had a ball laughing at it. And she didn't mind me making fun of it.

Compared to that 'article', Twilight is farkin Shakespeare. Since when to 12 year old girls who are failing 8th grade english get their own byline?

harold & kumar 3 was hilarious

Twilight is Star Trek that you don't happen to like. Get over it.

jayhawk88: Twilight is Star Trek that you don't happen to like. Get over it.

oh not farking remotely. i know you are trolling, and I realize that there are TONS of Star Trek related crap out there, but COME ON.

Star Trek is forever.

Twilight will be forgotten about the time the last movie crawls out of its director's digestive tract.

I find YOU full of crap.

And shallow and pedantic.

Way to prove their point. The shiat you like is supposedly forever, while stuff other people like is just a passing fad. Fake superiority over entertainment options is probably the dumbest form of elitism there is.

I think what hes implying is that Star Trek already has about 50 years under its belt. Star Trek is still going strong and is still being seen, read and talked about. The universe is still expanding and growing with new generation of characters and retelling of old ones.

Twilight has maybe, at best, 10 years and only got popular due to the movies and not the books. Its story is done. There is nothing new that can be added that cant be concidered more on the lines of a money grab.

FeedTheCollapse: this was the best/worst part of the new Twilight


that clip was not doctored.

wow..the comments on youtube were ecstatic. Lotsa fat white girls cumming on themselves

FeedTheCollapse: this was the best/worst part of the new Twilight


that clip was not doctored.

That's the best you could do? That's standard young adult heavy handed melodrama. Not amazing writing, but also nothing you don't see in dozens of other movies a year.

Wasn't there a point where the chick drank a damn blood slurpee or something? That would be worse to me.

Zombie DJ: I find YOU full of crap.

You'll get over that.

All jokes aside, I don't think what I said was that controversial. Or shouldn't be to anyone who thinks there's such a thing as "good taste". 90% of anything really is crap, just by sheer odds. 90% of metal music is crap, especially if you include ALL the unknown local bands all over the world......but the other 10% includes Slayer, Mastodon, etc. You could apply that concept to just about anything.

Hip Hop: 90% Bow Wow and MC-such-and-such from Kansas City, 10% Goodie Mob and Ghostface Killah.

Hollywood: 90% Twilight, Jason Statham movies, and straight-to-DVD releases, 10% Ides of March and Network.

Americans: 90% mouth-breathers in crocs eating fried peanut butter, 10% that guy who dressed up like a gay robot and heckled Michelle Bachman.


I'm just saying this is why DVD sales don't depress me as much as subby.

How was that article greenlit? That took minutes out of my work day I won't get back.

I bought the Complete Daria.

lostinspace1978: Who the fark is still buying DVDs?

I do, but then I always listen to commentaries if they're there (except for eg0-stroking wankfest ones) and also buying stuff on DVD is, certainly where I am, is anyway a lot cheaper than getting it on iTunes, in the vast majority of cases.

Also they don't take up space on you hard drive.

THIS. Add that to the fact that Twilight's fanbase (women) are fickle and will jump on any new fad that comes along, added to the fact that Twilight is in fact over, add that to the fact that there is NO geek culture that sprang up around Twilight, and you end up with....

a fad that will be forgotten as soon as the last film is shiat out.

I am as sorry as I can be that Twilight will not last. Maybe if it wasn't complete and total crap that wouldn't be the case.

yves0010: Twilight has maybe, at best, 10 years and only got popular due to the movies and not the books. Its story is done. There is nothing new that can be added that cant be concidered more on the lines of a money grab.

See this is just dumb, and shows lack of even basic google skills. The movies may have made those books sell more copies, but the first few were already best sellers from even what I saw just reading the wiki. Plus you can't crap on Twilight for a supposed money grab when the original star trek lasted only a few seasons but somehow spawned a bunch of movies decades later.

Also, they have already started spinning off the Twilight stuff just based on what I see on FB.

frepnog: Maybe if it wasn't complete and total crap that wouldn't be the case

LOL if it's such crap then why did you read the books and see the movies? OR is it that you didn't do either of those and are just following dork herd mentality?

i watched the first film. my mom read the books. i have read the reviews on the rest of the series.

it's pure, total, unadulterated crap.

I will add an actual example of this logic. Look at Harry Potter. The books were popular. The movies made them even more popular. But the story is over now and its popularity, though still high, isnt what it was before. I used to see Harry Potter all over, now I dont see that much for it. The same is for Twilight. It will follow the same model as everything has.

There are few exceptions that break the rule and last. I can think of three that has survived and broken the pattern with a steady addition and thriving universe.
Star Trek
Star Wars
James Bond

I would also argue that LotR could be in there as well, But I havent noticed anything "new" added to the universe.

Now that BD is on dvd all I can say is...BRING ON THE RIFFTRAX!!!

albert71292: lostinspace1978: Who the fark is still buying DVDs?

Me for one. Have season 2 of "Car 54, Where Are You?" pre-ordered. Some things aren't available any other way.

THIS

If one likes to watch and own films made before 1990, one is basically stuck with DVD because classics have not sold well on BD. Even DVDs of classic films are becoming scarce; studios like Warner and Fox are increasingly resorting to dumping their vintage catalog titles onto manufactured on demand DVD-Rs.

Rose McGowan Loveslave: Now that BD is on dvd all I can say is...BRING ON THE RIFFTRAX!!!

that just continues the stereotype that rifftacks are funny.

I am happy to see that the stuff I like is still obscure and unpopular.

lostinspace1978: Who the fark is still buying DVDs?

Me, for one. Since Blu-rays have been out for a few years, DVD prices had dropped. And there are many movies I don't need 1080p resolution to enjoy.

/picked up Animal House for five bucks
//[insert your favorite Animal House quote here]

lostinspace1978: Who the fark is still buying DVDs?

$5 for the DVD, $25 for the BluRay. Throw the DVD into an up-converter on a medium size TV...the Aristocrats!

lajotu: I am happy to see that the stuff I like is still obscure and unpopular.

That's not cool anymore. It's all about liking stuff that was once popular and became exceedingly unpopular, and subsequently forgotten- and you can't do this ironically- you have to be a full-on dedicated fan of said old material.

For example: I'm really into Vanilla Ice. The man was under appreciated in his time, and grossly misunderstood and misremebered by pop-culture history. The frequently overlooked track "Rasta Man" on his debut album "To the Extreme" is a sublime, downtempo mix of 80s-influenced beats with contemporary lyrics that truly highlight the rapidly changing face of hip-hop at the time. If you can't appreciate what is clearly revolutionary talent in the midst of a genre-wide shift in aesthetics and tone, we don't have much to talk about.

jayhawk88: Twilight is Star Trek that you don't happen to like. Get over it.

Hmmm. I don't recall tweener girls swooning over Picard when TNG came out.

I am mesmerized.

I could never do it that well.

Holy crap - are the Amazon comments for "To The Extreme" an on-going meme in this vein??

frepnog: i watched the first film. my mom read the books. i have read the reviews on the rest of the series.

So I was right. You watched one movie out of 4 (is that right?). I'd be willing to bet you had already read so many of those reviews you were already biased against it instead of being a normal person and going in with an open mind. Your whole view of this series is based on other people's opinions, but you vomit shiat about it like you actually did something to have an opinon.

There's a reason you don't see me praising or hating on these movies and books. It's because I've never seen/read them. Since you're basically the same way, why shiat on it for others that may enjoy it you bitter biatch?

Harold and Kumar was so enjoyable in 3D, I can't imagine watching it in 2D. But I'm actually pleasantly surprised it's doing so well on DVD. The others, meh, of course Twilight is popular with younger people that buy movies, and a lot of parents are buying Lady and the Tramp for their kids. Maybe I'm not a cynical asshole, but that doesn't bother me.
