Fuck Twilight!!

[allyssa]

no..I was commenting on the earlier mentioned stereotypes that the romantic inclination is gender biased toward lonely women, I think love nature sleep dream and other romantic notions are valuable especially escape...why live in a terrifying world when we can imagine utopias which we can aspire to manifest....if you seriously think I do not know who wrote romeo and juliet then you are definiltly deranged. I've read the book about 8 times and can quote it extensively....but i am also deranged cue david bowie song on lost highway soundtrack "funny how secrets travel...i want to believe if I were to bleed.......

[gothicusmaximus]

I don't think the implication was that the abstract notion of 'romance' is endemic to lonely women, so much as that the target demographic of wish fulfillment romance novels like Twilight, which features an author-surrogate female heroine and an outrageously idealized male love interest, is composed primarily of lonely women.
A blanket statement applied to romance novels can't be extended to Romeo and Juliet, for, as you know, having read the play 8 times, "The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet" is not a romance novel, but, in fact, a tragedy. In many ways, Romeo and Juliet is the antithesis of Meyer's books, a beautifully written and staggeringly real portrait of teenage 'love' that unfolds in such a way as to thwart any attempt at vicarious happiness undertaken by the reader.

[allyssa]

yes , but sorrow can be entirely romantic, and yes, it is very real in that it ruminates on the transient and intense infatuations of youth in poetic genius
but it none the less is a story of love....as is de sade's complex and disturbed prose, much of which I have lived first hand as both justine and juliette, victim and perpetrator. But I must agree when I go to the drug store and see titles such as: " big daddy" or "from heaven he came"
I must agree that it might all be shit but alas I have never read one and it may fill some need in the female psyche which tragically life cannot fullfill for them
because of beauty standards and monogomous and conventional relationships.....

Hey Alan...

You can literally fuck Twilight now.

[Solumina]

Toss it in the fridge for that authentic experience.

Wow...that is some kind of special

Fuck Stephanie Meyer. Who the fuck does the cunt think she is making playlists for BOOKS!!
The bitch had already believed her idiotic story would be so good it deserved a movie. "Oh my book is so good and it will have a playlist even though books don't have soundtracks and I'll put all the best music ever like Evanescence and My Chemical Romanbe."

Honestly, fuck her. She's thirty four years old with the mentality of a fifteen year old and this is what makes her famous: the fact that she never grew up so she can be angsty as fuck and people will think she's just appealing to teenagers.

Whoever likes Twilight is either:
a twelve year old that masturbates to linkin' park
or a shallow self-centered diva wannabe that just like Bella feels she deserves a perfect "superhuman" boyfriend to have an sickeningly dependent relationship to which she does not need to contribute anything.

Agreed absoFUCKINlutely.

Did you see what's written on the bottom?

[Solumina]

The "I sparkle"? I just thought that was to point out the fact that it sparkles I don't think it there are actually any words on it, but I could be wrong.

I just finished reading Let the right one in by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and it was fantastic.

[Amani 愛]

.... reading twilight is like eating low grade fast food.... a guilty pleasure. Its not really good for you nor your fave thing but every now and then its just what you need. Sometimes my brain is overworked and wants something simple and frovolous..

Wasn't it amazing? I'm trying to get people to read that one.

I get that Amani, but I just can't get past the misogyny and general stupidity of the series. I usually read Stephen King or if I'm feeling really low, Dean Koontz if I want something mindless.

[Mir]

We actually agree on something. I'm shocked!

I saw the movie (on cable) and I have to say that I was absolutely disgusted by the misogyny and the portrayal of scary stalker behaviour as "romantic" rather than "early stages of domestic abuse". Vile, vile, vile. I can't appreciate something as a guilty pleasure if I'm too busy being appalled.

Jullian, you have my support, despite the hate I'll probably recieve.

God, I love you.

I have a plan. Let us amass an army of shining fairy-like vampires and then hunt down every single copy of the book, movie, script, picture, server with pictures and generally everything that has to do with this failure. Then let's write a series of corny lovestory books about our shining fairy-like vampire allies!
Oh, wait....

[Ophelia's Snorkel]

I have a different plan. It involves Stephanie Meyer, a burlap sack full of squirming Team Edward fans, and the coroner.

[Anarasha]

Sounds like a plan, I'm in!
... does it involve fairy-like shining vampires that we can burn alive? :D

[Ophelia's Snorkel]

But of course! Though, it will be a little more difficult since we can't simply drag them into the daylight to do the job. Time to gather round the campfire instead!

[Serren]

As far as bad books go that you read because, well, your mind needs a rest from anything more taxing I think its better than some. There are some appalling books out there. I don't know if I'd think it were that good for younger teens to read it, it seems a bit twisted in some ways for a younger audience but what ever.

I watched the film of 'let the right one in,' the other night, I'd like to read the book.

[goth_96]

Twilights okay,BUT it would have had a better ending if Buffy and Blade came to town and staked those sparkly motherfuckers

[Solumina]

Why would you dig up a thread that has been dead for seven monthsto post something so inane?

[goth_96]

IDK, guess I was bored

[Malicious Insanity]

Twilight... *deep breath* It just isn't worth it...
