The "Twilight" Zone

If you came here looking for anything good on the movie twilight, move along because there is nothing of the sort here. I am sick of it, sick of hearing about it, sick of hearing the goofy teenage girls talk about it on the news and on the radio, sick, sick, sick. Yet here I am writing about my displeasure of hearing the word twilight.

Follow up:

I have not seen it, nor do I plan to, quite frankly a chick flick that appeals to tweens, teens, and their "trying to be young again" moms just isn't my cup of tea. But I do have an opinion, based on what I do know about the film, and sadly, I think I know too much as it is. Basically this film has girls and women drooling and smacking their significant others and saying "why can't you be like that?" As if being an 108 year old cradle robber is somehow romantic, yeah, ok?

I even talked about this movie with my fiance, and she basically asked me why can't men be that way? What way I asked? You mean dead, chasing after teenage girls, being a vampire and a wussy one at that? WTF is it? I don't know but every time a movie like this comes out, I get asked that question. When I first heard about this movie, I thought cool, a vampire movie, I like those, you know, like Interview with a vampire and Queen of the damned. But no, when I saw the previews for this I was left wondering wtf is this?

This movie took in $70.55 million on the weekend box office, essentially crushing all the other opening films. Teens and their goofy moms even camped outside of theaters. Hell a 30 year old woman has already seen the film a whopping 8 times! Are you shitting me, like get a life or something lady. I didn't even get that geeked when The Phantom Menace came out, I seen it twice in the theater. Anyhow, back to the sucky film and it's fans

One young person said "Edward is the type of man many ladies wants, he opens car doors, pays for dinner, gives unyielding attention. So what if he sucks a little blood?

I am looking for my own vampire"

Again, it's a movie, therefore, not real. All you young freaks out there turned on by vampires, good luck finding your Edward, surely you will one day realize that characters in movies are just that.Enough with the twilight buzz everywhere you turn, enough of the fangirls and their Edward t-shirts. Also, enough with the Wall-e commercials please.

PS. Lestat would kick Edwards pansy ass any day, you know, if vampires were real and all.

    In response to your Twilight rant..
    Why is it difficult for a man to tell the one they love how they feel about them every now and then and more then once in a blue moon..Shouldnt you tell the person you love how you feel about them all the time or as much as possible?!?!?!
    I dont think your fiance meant anything about them being dead,vampire,wussy and chasing after young girls,I think its more of the romance of the movie!!!
    Also why do you have to take parts of the story and bash it,I mean look at Dracula the "Count" was what seemed like a gazillion years old,and ugly as hell and yet a hot,younger lady in her 20's was all over his shit,why cause of his romantic side and yet there are men out there who have liked the movie..
    Just for this rant I should go out and by an Edward t-shirt!!!!

    Because this movie and others like it convey something to women that is unattainable, the main character in the film thinks that Eddie is just so perfect, and kids eat it up. So then they delve into the fantasy world and get so wrapped up in it that it consumes them. I am sure that real life romance exists, I think I've experienced it a few times in my life, but the stuff in here, blarghh..For one, it's cheesy, and another thing, a tad disturbing, based on the premise of the book.

    My reference to the wussy, dead stuff was meant to wake the people up who are stuck in la la land. For every point someone makes about how great eddie is, the fact is he's dead, and a fictional character, thus representing something that really doesn't exist.

    Bram Stoker's Dracula, which is the movie I think you are comparing this to, is a great vampire movie. Yes, it has romance in it, but it isn't cheesy and doesn't sway from the vampire myth the way this story does. I mean the female lead ends up getting pregnant by Edward in one of the books. Like how the fuck is that even possible for one? The fact that it is so far off from what the whole vampire genre is about is enough to make me hate this movie without even seeing it.

    Romance is not an issue, when it is not overdone. When a character constantly moans about how perfect another one is, it becomes creepy.
