New Moon movie should be better, they have twice the budget.
Twice the budget, half a storyline, zero plot, and enough teen angst and obsessiveness to keep tardlets amused for another round.

Sorry, this isn't the "fail discussion" forum. Go fanwank about twilight on myspace or something.

weak response crying
Says the person who posts two words and an emote


If a New York Times best selling author with millions of books sold and hundreds of elegantly written pages per volume can't impress you then why should I try.

Weak Response... crying
We are the people...




Oh, sure. Put it on the same level as Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts. That's changes everything, it must be quality literature if bookstores have ordered millions of copies!

I am special, thanks for noticing. biggrin
Kinda explains the taste in literature. Gues the library didn't have "Magic Schoolbus" in, so you had to settle for Twilight, eh?

But does that make it good? You can put a rating on a turd, but all that makes it is a rated turd.

I'm sure that you are way to busy with the 3 people that are following your Twitter to actually read, but FYI Twilight Rox if you haven't heard. biggrin
I don't use twitter, because I don't find being a social whore that interesting. But it's nice that you chose to attack me instead of my points. Kinda hard to defend against, eh?

Grow up, the reason you aren't getting any serious responses is because you come off as unintelligent. "Weak response" every post just shows that you need to either wake up or go back to another part of Gaia.

Twilight is notoriously bad from a literature standpoint. The writing is poor and Stephenie Meyer practically rapes a thesaurus. Edward is pretty much established as an abusive boyfriend pretty early in the series, but yet put in a positive light. That's nothing compared to the atrocious use of Mary Sues littered throughout the book. The main character herself is a disaster in terms of a character concept.

The whole book reads like a fanfiction, which is probably the entire reason it's so popular with young teenage girls. The main target audience.

For someone supposedly reading such "good books", you sure have a limited vocabulary. Saying something is weak dosn't make me any less right, or you any smarter. But if you'd like to pretend it does, more power to you.

It's that it reads like a mary sue fanfiction that makes it so nauseating, actually.

I was thinking more along the lines of a mary sue self insertion...Bella is Meyers, without the weight and with aspergers (sp?) , creepy obsessions, and an inner ear problem affecting her balance.

Not to mention the mormon sensibilities.

It was bad enough that Edward is some sort of "savin it for marriage" prude...AND DON'T GIVE ME THAT "HE'S RELIGIOUS" ANGLE!!! DRACULA WAS A GOOD CATHOLIC AND IT DIDN"T STOP HIM FROM BEING THE FIEND HE WAS, but when I learned that the sparkliness was a reference to a Biblical verse about beings being pure in the eyes of the Lord sparkling in the sun, I raged hard.

Neither. The entire series is a sin against literature, folklore and mythology. Though Jacob would be the mildly preferable of the two, only insomuch as werewolves are normally preferable to vampires, the lesser of two evils (or in this case monstrous affronts to all that is good and decent in the aforementioned literature, folklore and mythology) is still evil, and thus I cannot in good conscious "support" either side, may they both rot in the pits of literary obscurity.

Redundant. Mary sue is self-insertion.

I have to backpedal a little here, though, because now that I'm thinking about it, I've read mary sues that were better. Not many, I grant you, but then again, I haven't exactly read a great quantity of fanfiction.

I just pictured him at communion. The wine/blood would be a fiasco :3

Wait wait wait, hold on a second. That teenage angsty crap is rated for 8th GRADERS? I mean, yeah in terms of poor writing skills, imagination, plot line, etc. I might be able to see that (though that wouldn't be doing 8th Grade literature justice), but in terms of content, that is probably NOT the kind of stuff that should be sitting around in the grade school library.

Oh wow, that would be a sight to see. I do not envy the unlucky priest he went to for confession every year. xd

Yup, that's what win is made of.

Well, that and a nominal historical reference to a medieval Romanian lord.
