Twilight

So... is it going to be worth all the hype it's getting with junior high kids everywhere?

I ****ing hate the Twilight series with such a passion, I am blinded by rage every time someone tries to even insinuate that it's a good series.

The books sound boring. The movie looks boring.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I'm...uh. From what I've seen of the trailer and talking to people, it just seems like some Nora Roberts Romance crap that some 13-year old thought was cool. Entirely too hyped and too glorified.

^^It's pure ****. Like, atrocious writing, characters that are Mary Sues with no personalities, and just absolutely ridiculous. What's even worse is how much fangirls go crazy over Edward Cullen who actually exhibits abusive tendencies.

But I shall rant about it later. Maybe in my forum.

If they have to make movies about a kids' book series (and I assume it's required), you'd think they'd just once jump the shark and do an awesome kids' book series, like 'Hamish X' or something.

My sister is really into this series right now. She's probably going to be all over this movie.

Me on the other hand, I really couldn't care less about it and have absolutely no intention on seeing it.

There is something evil about the twilight book. Somebody has it at my school, and it keeps dropping into the snow and keeps slapping the person who has it with a spoon.

My point is, OVERATED..........

You forgot hot lesbian Carmilla vampires.

Also, apparently South Park is doing a spoof of Twilight fans tonight. I might actually watch.

Oh Lord, a number of my co-workers are obsessing over this movie, especially the goth-looking nurse.

I found something here I thought was interesting.

Quote:
Number of Pages in the Book: 498
The First Hint of a Plot that Is Not Bella and Edward's Romance: page 328
When the Plot Actually Arrives: page 372

Boys that Totally Love Bella (Including Edward Cullen): 5

Approximate Amount of Time Bella and Edward are Romantically Involved Before Bella Is Begging Edward to Turn Her into a Vampire so They Can Be Together Forever: Like, two weeks. Maybe three. The timeline's a bit fuzzy.

References to Edward's Beauty: 165

Broken Down into the following categories -

* Face: 24 (Favorite adjectives: glorious, heavenly, seraphic)
* Voice: 20 (The voice of an archangel, donchaknow.)
* Eyes: 17
* Movement: 11
* Smile: 10
* Teeth: 8
* Muscles: 7
* Skin: 7 (Note: This only contains accounts of Edward's skin being beautiful. I didn't count references to it as "pale," "cold," or "white." If I had, this number would be about ten times larger.)
* Iron Strength or Limbs: 5
* Breath: 4 (EVEN HIS BREATH IS AMAZING.)
* Scent: 4
* Laughter: 3
* Handwriting: 2
* Chest: 2
* Driving Skills: 1

The Number of Times...

* Bella Is Clumsy or Makes a Reference to Her Clumsiness: 26
* Bella Sneers at Forks or Its Inhabitants: 22
* Bella is "Dazzled" or Rendered Speechless by Edward's Beauty or Touch: 17
* Edward Tells Bella to Stay Away from Him While Completely Contradicting Himself with His Behavior: 16
* Bella is Utterly Desolate at Edward's Absence: 12
* Edward and Bella Kiss: 8
o Bella's Hormones Get the Better of Her and She Attacks Edward, Almost Causing Him to Eat Her: 2 (She's not even allowed to kiss him back! Where's the fun in that?)
o Edward's Kiss Makes Bella Faint: 1
o Edward's Kiss Makes Bella's Heart Literally Stop: 1
* Bella Thinks She Isn't Good Enough for Edward: 6
* Edward Is Referred to As Godlike: 5 (Note: This number might be off, as I didn't start counting until three or four mentions in.)
* Edward Tells Bella She's Unnatural: 5
* Edward Sparkles: 3
* Bella is in Mortal Danger: 3
o Edward Saves Bella from Mortal Danger: 3
* Edward Stalks Bella, For Real: 2 (Note: One of these instances involves watching her sleep every night for, like, months.)
* Bella says "Holy Crow!": 2
* Bella and Edward Argue About Who Loves the Other Most: 1
* Edward's Inability to Read Bella's Mind is Explained: 0
You've got to be kidding me. Was the author 12 when she wrote this?
