Fuckin’ A
I don’t fucking get this whole trend. Vampires are so 80s Anne Rice – what’s next? Sexy, soulful wolfmen?
Fuck vampires, Zombies are where it’s at, TT.
Dark black hair and porcelain faces get me off so I say bring it on.
Teenagers like annoying things. There will always be something stupid/annoying/silly/ridiculous that teenagers love. It’s Twilight this decade, and it will probably be something even more stupid next decade. Just ignore it and carry on with your life. It’s not like the presence of “I <3 Edward" t-shirts hurts you in any way. It's a book series and now a movie series. Big woop. At least 14 year olds are reading, and maybe they'll grow some taste when they're 16.
Stick a wooden stake into the book and bury it, problem solved.
In all seriousness, this book is one person’s take on vampires, and it can’t be all bad if people want to read it because others have suggested it. I’m not high on the fans and I haven’t read the series, but to want it to die is a bit much. Unless it causes people to kill or burn things, it’s harmless and a fad.
ahhh the angst.
and it’s NOT a vampire/wolf series…
it’s a retarded teen romantic series which happens to include elements of vamps/wolfies to elevate the ‘passion’ (gag) and confusion (vomit).
personally, I’m SO glad to never have to watch that horrible drivel ever again.
I’m even sick of making fun of it while I watch.
And Meghan Fox is over-rated. Natalie Portman or Sarah Polley…. now they are true classy women.
abc123 there are scores of middle aged women going batshit over this crap. They’re worse than the tweens, too.
where the hell did meghan fox come from?
it’s the ever-so-mouse-faced looking kristen stewart…
I wouldn’t do her with LS’s dick
oops…. see? I really don’t care about those movies. And those fake chicks are all the same. I still stand behind Natalie and Sarah though.
It’s the middle aged ladies going all dreamy eyed and drooly when talking about it that weirds me out. And ditto zZz.
Vampires like things that have blood and bleed. But how come there are no attractive female vamps?
um, hello?
Twilight is an allusion to domestic violence. If you watch it, you’ll see. Like when Bella wakes up one morning with bruises all over her body, and Edward is creepily watching?
Or how he keeps saying in his drawn-out, melodramatic vampire sneer, ”I WANT TO HURT YOU, BUT I DON’T WANT TO HURT YOU” aka, let me rape you? is this ringing any bells?
I prefer to watch a little Buffy… at least that’s a series that didn’t take itself too seriously. Unlike Twilight.
Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson can both go jump off a cliff. Pattinson’s latest efforts into serious drama have floundered, and Kirsten Stewart’s latest effort (The Runaways) kinda flopped. She even ruined Adventureland. Me, I’m a fan of Keira Knightley.
ah yes, dead things are the best to fuck, no whining, bitching, and you never have to worry about being seen with them in the daylight.
my fav pic I’ve seen recently was a buffy poster that had
“he doesn’t sparkle
and she can act
taking notes twilight?”
fell over laughing.
That’s pretty good, zZz.
Vampires as a monster are actually pretty badass, it’s just that Twilight gave birth to a whole teen drama genre of vampires which totally sucks balls.
