Stavros Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hehe, the scene where Bella is trying to convince Edward to have sex is hilarious, it basically comes across as- Edward- But, you do love me, right? Bella- What? Oh, sure baby, you're so special to me. Now take off your pants. And Jacob later on when Bella's all freezing on the mountain but Edward won't let him touch her, and he's like "Dude, if you don't let me grind on her in front of you she might get sick or die or something". This movie is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I felt while watching it, so this is where Stephanie Myer got her ideas for that Twilight bullshit, about Vampires and Werewolves. Stephanie Meyer has admitted herself to having never seen any movie or read any books involving vampires and werewolves before writing Twilight. It's the work of a lonely housewife that had a dream one night of fucking a teenage boy with superpowers. Nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must have lived in a cave not to encounter ANY film or book featuring either of those. It's more like the cave woman with a typewriter who dreamed about being double-teamed by a couple of teenage weirdos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Nah. They're not abstinence porn, they're the epitome of false female fantasies. They posit the idea that it's okay to date the dangerous bad boy, because it'll ultimately turn out alright in the end. According to the books, it's perfectly fine to walk the line between right and wrong, between good and evil, light and dark: the "Twilight."

JackFetch Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 They're Mormon abstinence porn. Speaking of Mormon porn, have you heard of Bubbling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 ...To any Mormons that mgiht be out there and reading this, there IS the option of leaving the church. Then you can actually look at porn. Just saying. Also, with teh whole Mormon housewife/being ridiculously sheltered thing, I can believe it. Though I have to admit, knowing she has kids, I kind of wonder if that had any effect on the pregnancy from hell in the last book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Maybe she was actually raped by a vampire, and got her revenge by ruining vampires' reputations as legitimate badasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I wondered when someone was gonna notice that. On a related note, I just watched the first episode of The Vampire Diaries. It's like someone read Twilight, then went over it with a pen and highlighter, crossing out and replacing most of the crappy elements. So it's still about a vampire who goes to high school and meets a quiet-but-pretty brunette, but he's a legit vampire. Has fangs, burns-in-the-sun (though he's conveniently got a magic ring that lets him not immolate), has hypnotizing powers, and can't enter a home without permission. Kinda has a David Boreanaz vibe. Also, quiet girl isn't stupid. Hooray for quiet girl. A lot of the scenes seem like they're copied & pasted right out of Twilight, but with less stupidity. I can handle the "teen drama" genre as long as it's handled well, so I'm gonna try going through it now and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I just found that out. And Buffy had the teen vampire romance back in, what, '98? Now I dislike Stephenie Meyer even more. - _ - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Neil Gaiman Gets Animated on Arthur By John Booth September 15, 2010 Geek parents of Arthur-watchers, set your DVRs for “Squee!,” because Neil Gaiman’s visit to Elwood City is set for Oct. 25. Yes, that Neil Gaiman. The creator of Coraline, author of The Graveyard Book – which added The Carnegie Medal to its list of awards this summer – and new contributor to Doctor Who will make a Halloween week guest appearance as himself on the animated PBS series. From the press release: “This season, we’re hoping to empower our young viewers to go after their goals and dreams. Whether that means becoming a wheelchair basketball champion, or expressing yourself through writing, drawing, and making movies, Arthur and his friends show kids that determination and hard work really pay off,” said Executive Producer Jacqui Deegan. “Both Lydia and Neil serve as great role models, and we’re excited to have them to reinforce these important lessons for our audiences.” The new season premieres Oct. 11. Gaiman’s role comes in an episode called “Falafelosophy,” inspiring one of the kids who’s trying her hand at writing and illustrating a graphic novel. It’s paired with what sounds like a suitable companion story, “Tales of the Grotesquely Grim Bunny,” about changes on the shelves at the local comic shop. In the realm of geeky kids’ TV crossovers, this may even rival R2-D2 and C-3PO landing on Sesame Street. Source Also, this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
