Twilight

[Tisiphone]

So, I took my niece and nephew to see this Christmas day....

Um, what was I saying??? MY FUCKING BRAIN IS STILL OVERLOADED WITH MASSIVE CLOSEUP SHOTS OF ANGSTY TEEN BOYS AND GIRLS AND TEENY BOPPERS IN THE THEATER SCREAMING EVERYTIME ANY CUTE GUY WAS ON THE SCREEN.

Actually, I can see how sixteen-year-old girls would be obsessed with the books/films. Epic teenage love that will probably never die. A pale-skinned guy who would do anything for ya. Ahhh...to be young and in love.

I'll watch it when it's on cable, but I ain't paying extra to see it.

My 13yo daughter really liked the books, but luckly she didn't become obsessed with them and was cool not seeing the movie (I was kinda tight on money this month, so she was cool with waiting for the DVD, which for sure will be out in a few months anyway...)

I am lucky, none of my kids are really into "Twilight", "Hanna Montana", or (Lethe save us!) "High School Musical". *shudder* (They actually all 3 *hate* HSM, so I am really lucky.)

They are all into Harry Potter, but so am I so that is cool.

Most to Gods-awful fads they thankfully skipped. Save'd some of poor old dad's brain cells. There *was* that Barney stage earily on, but that passed and pretty soon I steered them towards good stuff like "Fraggle Rock" and the Muppets.

Both of my nieces were (probably still are) High School Musical nuts.. oh and then they both flipped out over Camp Rock and the Jonas Brothers.. lol.

I am sorry for you.


My kids aren't huge into the Johnas Bros., but the two girls did have a thing a while back for "The Naked Brother's Band" on Nick.

 

[Cassie]

lol.. don't be sorry for me! I don't have to live with the little brats.

It looks like something that would make me appreciate True Blood more.

 

[Cassie]

Twilight is for squealing tweens.

 

[Ishcabittle]

Was there a new vamp movie out that was good? I seem to remember something getting good reviews... doubtful, though.

Robert Pattinson looks like he thinks he's so good looking that he can get away with not bathing. THAT'S A MINUS IN MY BOOK.

 

[bryce]

I never read my daughtet's copies of the books at all, but most reviews I have read of them say that they all read like really bad fanfic.

And a medium-budget mass-market movie (with a 3rd rate screenwriter) based on that drivel as source material, and aimed at hormonal tween-age girls...well, I can only imagine how mind-numbingly vacuuous and eye-stabbingly awful such a thing could be.

"Get your head in the game" I enjoyed HSM(1&2). It has very catchy pop music.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Robert Pattinson is really quite ugly.

The Twilight series is good, even for us 30 somethings. They take you back to when you wished for that, for when you ached for that impossible crush. Books one and three are the best.

I did not see the movie. I will get it on Blu Ray. I had zero desire to sit in a theatre with a bunch of screaming teenies. I went to the release of the fourth book, Breaking Dawn and knew I wouldn't be seeing the movie.

 

[Friday]

I've read the first two novels in the series...got them for Christmas.

They do come off like Mary Sue fanfics, but they're good to relax with during Christmas vacation. They are also incredibly fast reads...I read them both in 2 days.

 

[Mentalist]

I will be skipping this crap and watching my Lost Boys DVD instead..

 

[CaptainWacky]

Did they not make a sequel to Lost Boys this year that sunk without a trace?

LOST BOYS 3: ERNEST BECOMES A VAMPIRE coming soon to VHS everywhere!
