The Twilight Series by Stephanie meyer

[RDK]

Saw Paramore. Closed the browser. Look at all those teen pop/radio bands, it's kind of sickening. Gathered the courage to reopen the browse after being shocked by Paramore. Linkin Park ruins any movie, save Transformers but even that had a bitter sweet ending because of Linkin Park.

Transformers sucked balls for more reasons than because it had a Linkin Park song in it. Michael Bay is quite possibly the worst directer ever.

Whatever happened to actually good movie scores? Where's John Williams? James Newton Howard? James Horner?

It was more of a fan service than a "Hey come look at me, I've made a classic movie that will go down in history among fans and movie-goers alike" which is how Micheal Bay shot it out of his ***. But I'm a fan.

And there goes rule 25, way to go RDK now we have to get back on twilight again.

 

[Darkslash]

Hey can we please stay on topic?


This comic made by a friend sums up the fandom of Twilight

Its like Left4dead

Disturb one you disturb them all.

 

[Puddin]

The boy in that comic looks oddly similar to Naruto, are you sure he is aware Naruto does not exist?

Bring me a topic and I shall discuss it.

Vangelis > all.

Also, what's worse than having a bad artist on the soundtrack for a bad movie? Having a GOOD artist on the soundtrack for a bad movie! Thank god, that's at least one problem Twilight doesn't have

For the record: Transformers will be remembered for years to come, as a prime example of how not to make movies for future directors. CGI is ruining action movies.

 

[Crimson King]

Puddin, you liked Transformers? *deletes you from PSN*

I looked at the Soundtrack, and Muse is the best band on there and I am not a Muse fan. It needs Deicide!

 

[Puddin]

I must defend my internet honor so all other aspects of my life are not ruined and I an hero!
Like I said, Transformers was a geek fan service, translation: it was a passable FAN movie for me but I'll stick with my cult classics and indie humor films. Of course Transformers wasn't even that memorable of a film, I wouldn't have considered watching it again, or even remembered it...if it hadn't been mentioned at this precise moment.

And yes Crimson, death metal makes every gooey teen vampire love story more bearable. I suppose?


I don't immediately recognize any of the artists on the twilight soundtrack except for Linkin Park, Paramore, and Muse but it looks like most of them just made songs for the movie, rather then having their songs put into the movie. So is that an original soundtrack or not? Oh well.

I disagree hemightbegiant, I mean you could see it both ways. For one it would be bad for a good artist to be seen on a bad movie, but in the same sense it would make the bad movie slightly more bearable because at least there would be something decent to hear while you bear through the terrible script and acting. But again, you could see it both ways of course going to see a movie just because it has a song you like in it, even if you know you'll hate the movie, is no excuse.

Ill pretend I never read this, and the worst director is Oliver stone.

Darkslash, your friend made a great comic

 

[Puddin]

Is it too late to bring Uwe Boll into the already off-topic discussion? Or do we need a new twilight hating subject to discuss?

You never saw Nixon, W, or JFK, have you? Oliver Stone is a very good director. Michael Bay should not be allowed to touch movies without paying for it. His gems include "The Island," where he DECLINED Scarlett Johannssen's offer to get naked, "Bad Boys," "Bad Boys 2," and "Pearl Harbor," a movie which managed to surpass the actual disaster in terms of damage done.

What about Twilight?

 

[Puddin]

Hmm? Who directed twilight? Who is to blame for this mass of fangirls and internet hate?

Reminds me of this conversation I overheard in school of some girl saying "Generic Boyfriend X bought me tickets to see twilight this Friday, he is so sweet like Edward"

Hur Hur Dur.

Am I the only one who is aware of the fact that the editing of twilight is so bad that the cover isn't even capitalized?

Yes it is a joke, it is meant to be twilight because Stephenie Meyer is a very mysterious person who works in mysterious ways and wants everyone to think there is some deeper meaning to it not being capitalized.

W was surprisingly good, but I'm not sure even that makes up for the awful ****fest that is Alexander. How Colin Ferrel keeps getting work is beyond me.

Is it too late to bring Uwe Boll into the already off-topic discussion? Or do we need a new twilight hating subject to discuss?

I don't even consider him a director.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

lol, wut?

I'll be the first to admit Alexander and The Doors were horrible. Not a big fan of Platoon but at least it did everything right on a technical level.

Natural Born Killers was good too, I guess, but Nixon man, that's one to remember.

 

[zrky]

I did see W and to me it was a documentary film which is why I liked it. I haven't seen nixon. Some of his other movies aren't on my watch more than the first time list. I have give my opinion on twilight but does anyone know why it was so anticipated, but had a low budget?

 

[Puddin]

Because of fangirls...and so now they are making millions because they churned out something for the lowest cost possible and the fans of an already bad book will be totally satisfied with an even worse movie.

[DtJ Jungle]

HAHAHAHAHHAHHA omg too funny

 

[choknater]

lmao, oh wow.

 

[RDK]

I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

 

[Skler]

The puppy in the third panel makes the comic.

 

[Puddin]

Would have been funnier if it weren't for the fact that the girl in the last panel is probably the kind of teen that eats that book up =\

 

[Symphony X]

I haven't seen that comic in forever. I remember showing it to my ex-girlfriend and her getting real angry at me.

 

[urdailywater]

You know, I admit, I was heavily baised towards the book. I was baised because of how bad I heard the writing was, so I read the first two paragraphs...

"My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt--sleeveless, white eyelit lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry-on item was a parka."

"In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists under a near-constantcover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential..."

And then I just stopped reading right there. I just kinda wondered "just what kind of teenager describes her own town as 'inconsequential'? That didn't make sense to me! I might've read more, but like I said, I was baised, so I didn't.

Also, what exactly did she mean by a "perfect" cloudless blue? That's also another thing I noticed.

That's worse writing than Huckleberry Finn.

At least Sam Clemens knew how he was writing.


Anyways, if the vampire is really vegetarian, that's enough to make me not read it.
Seriously, though. I want to see what the hype is up about. I'm gonna try to force myself through a few chapters, even though I hate reading overall.
Never was much of a reader of books, unless it was something that interested me.

 

[Puddin]

I just love how this has degraded from actual discussion of the book, and people who enjoy it, to nothing but hate towards the fans and the writing.

WTF? He's a vegetarian?

Yeah, that makes sense, because obviously vampires get their sustenance from shoving leaves down their throat rather than drinking blood.

 

[Sad Panda323]

So let's just end this before it turns into a flame war.

Stay as far away from me as possible, f***ot.

........lol.

 

[Puddin]

Yes, I thought I mentioned that earlier.

He is a vegetarian vampire, which (I read up) means he doesn't drink Human Blood, but instead drinks Animal Blood. Which makes little sense because he is still drinking blood, except now he seems like a wuss.

Oh lawd, now that's ironic.

This vampire sounds more like a douchebag than "The Perfect Man" imo.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

LOLOLOL a vegetarian vampire is such a funny concept.

 

[zrky]

well the reason they are called "vegetarian" is in part because they drink animal blood but because it doesn't give them as much strength as human blood, kinda like human vegetarians aren't as strong as omnivorous humans (that is if the omnivorous humans aren't the fat ones)

douche bag is a perfect description of edward.

 

[RDK]

But it doesn't even make sense and is not in any way analogous to actual vegetarianism. It's not even clever. Why not just say "I drink animal blood instead of human blood?" The term "vegetarian vampire" is ridiculous, and nobody would ever know what it meant unless you explained it to them.

God I hate Stephanie Meyer.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

RDK between this thread and the 2nd coming of jesus thread you have been making my day all day

no homo.

Because that is too dull and laid out for a teenage girl of such high intelligence to understand.

lolwut?

 

[kr3wman]

...

 

[DtJ Jungle]

i want to print this thread out.

 

[Symphony X]

Am I really the only one who knew what a vegetarian vampire was before I read the book?

 

[Puddin]

My god the New York Times quote is the funniest thing on that cover. Although everyone was thinking it.

Here's the problem. The majority of fans of the series are non-readers. Real readers will put down this book becuase on how horribly written and edited it is. the fact that it relies also on cover illustrations instead of the title is also horrible. I mean what does Twilight and a apple have to do with each other!?!?!? Of course any one who read the bible knows the cover is referring to Edwards "forbidden fruit" but what does twilight have to do with the book?

Plus the only good critic reviews it got were written by young adults.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Light sparkles.

The Twilight Zone is mysterious and supernatural.

Edward is mysterious and supernatural.

Edward also sparkles.

Therefore, Edward = Twilight?

 

[Darkslash]

I think Twilight means the sunset. That said its another one of those things that Myer takes forever to state right out.
