Why is this so popular? I watched one movie and wasn't impressed. Are women just generally turned on by having their blood sucked and bestality?

Just came across this video on youtube:



wtf is wrong with people.
 
Amazingly, I think that may actually be genuine.

The state of some people...fecking hell.

Actually - I think if somebody recorded my emotional outbursts from jubilation to screaming obscenities whilst watching United over the course of a season, it's probably no less extreme of an emotional reaction (although I'd like to think I don't scream like that).

Just a thought...

:nervous:
 
True, but at least you don't record yourself intentionally for the purpose of others to watch your own dramatic gimpery like she does.

I could only manage about a minute and a half of that. It's fecked up shit.
 
I dont get it either - but then again, I'm not a 12 year old girl.

I've seen the first movie, and it was terrible. But it seems to win every teen movie award going.
 
To be honest, I did sit through the first movie. It wasn't all that hell of a crap that people made it to be. It's like people hating on 'Friends' because some cool people does it.

The second, movie anyway, it was utter crap. I don't even remember the nameand it was a fecking drag. The lead girl goes to movies, rides bike with strangers, all with the same face expression and towards the end she and some other girl ride a porsche (don't know which model. Sorry Colin.) through some countryside and stops the guy from stepping in to sunlight before he sparkles.

probably the most pointless plot I've ever seen. I remember watching a movies named 'Soccer dog' which was the worst movie I've seen, But even it had a better plot compared to this one.

:lol: I've just looked that up. It looks great.
 
A few months ago I was sat in the library with a friend, I was writing an essay and when I asked why she was reading twilight she replied "I'm correcting the grammatical mistakes" and upon inspection, there were several mistakes that she had corrected. It's just awful.

Soccer dog haha. They always used to show shit like this on the sky movie channels early in the morning.

I remember one about a basketball playing chimp. They used a real chimp for close up shots and then used a professional basketball player in a chimp suit for the court scenes! It was so bad it was brilliant!
 
Has anyone else noticed the lead actress constantly looks like she is about to sneeze? I watched it with my girlfriend, who found it equally appalling I'm proud to say, and as soon as we had noticed the sneezing it was a constant mindfeck. It got to the point where you just want her to sneeze so you can get some kind of relief or closure.
 
The world is crying out for Soccer Dog v Basketball Chimp 3D. :D
 
My missus likes it, and I've had to watch all of them when she's purchased them. I've refused to watch them at the cinema with her. It's utter, utter shite. And it really angers me that an intelligent woman like her could fall for such utter, utter shite. But she claims it's a good love story, and that's why women fall for it. I reckon it's a poorly done rip-off of Dracula.

That said, if I have to watch it at least Ashley Greene is good to look at. The naked pics of her on the interwebs are even better, though.

It's nice that men are never interested in anything silly and/or laughable.
That's one of the things I admire about men.

*thinks* Surely there's white text here somewhere? :D
 
To be fair, I'd let RPatz suck my blood/impregnate me with his demon spawn/all that good stuff but, oh my gosh, Twilight is just offensively awful.
 
Never understood the attraction of Pattinson. I mean look:

He looks like one side of his face is melting!
 
I don't think it's awful, and it goes into why they do sparkle to be fair, and at least it's different to the standard instant death the moment the sun hits you routine.
 
There not crap though, there is plenty of other films that are worse, it's just because it has a core of fans who are dicks and treat it as the best thing ever people feel the need to address the balance by saying it's utter shit. Which in my opinion is wrong. It's a 3* movie at best which is watchable IMO.
 
We'll have to agree to disagree then. I just can't stand it, and I think it's cringeworthy how girls through themselves all over Launter and Pattinson. I mean fair enough, you can fancy a celebrity but I've never seen girls go so OTT for boys as Twilight fans do for those 2
 
I agree with that, the fandom the show gets is ridiculous. I don't even like it that much but I can watch it is all I'm saying.
 
I don't know about the films but the writing is terrifyingly crap; and I speak as a terrifyingly crap writer myself. Cue the excerpt:

When I walked into the warm office, I almost turned around and walked back out.

Edward Cullen stood at the desk in front of me. I recognized again that tousled bronze hair...

"Never mind, then," he said hastily in a voice like velvet.

"Oh, Edward, your sparkly triceps are bewitching me - the way they glitter and fade like crap Christmas lights is making my pantaloons smoulder. Let's hit the sack ASAP!1!"

"I can't, Bella - I'm a four-billion year-old vampire and besides, I'm afraid my tousled locks will get creased due to our smexy shenanigans..."

Ok, so I made one of those quotes up... :D
