The "We Hate Twilight" Club

Post Reply New Topic

My name is blue_bean and I HATE TWILIGHT!!
I've never read the books or seen the movie - I'm just sick of seeing all the Twilight/Edward the vampire sh*t everywhere I go, and all the girls (and some guys) fapping over some man-pretty guy with severe B.O who never washes his hair.

Those things can't even be called vampires. Instead of bursting into flames when touched by sunlight, they sparkle. They freaking sparkle!

I hated the movie, as soon as I got back home from watching it I had to watch Interview with a Vampire to metaphorically get the taste out of my mouth.

Yeah I know that was so stupid!
I watched the movie because loads of people seem to think that it's great. I looked up the plot and it seemed silly. Wow I was completely right. It was also really really really really boring! When some action finally happens it's like 30 seconds long and pointless. The twilight film for me was the perfect example of a sleep-inducing film.

All the girls seem to be going gaga over this "Eddie" character.

One day, while I was walking in the music store, I suddenly found myself standing in front of a life-sized cardboard Eddie, who had been placed right in the middle of the damned walkway!



Anyways, I thought his eyes were unbearably freaky, and his forehead creases and heavy eyebrow ridges did nothing to make his face any more desirable for me. And the deliberately messy hair? Puh-leeze!

Really, the hearts of teenaged girls and even grown women are throbbing because of this?

I'm Sophie and I hate twilight.

Not so much twilight it's self but the hype it has created, I swear if I see another "which twilight character are you" quiz on quizilla and sites like that I will become insane.
And all the girls seem to melt when they see that edward, he's ugly! And I don't see why they have to release a sequel so soon after, it's not exactly harry hotter is it.
I do like the film interiew with a vampire, it's way more realistic. And I like the book "the last vampire" that's good. Not this sparkly emo kids that think they're vampires crap.

count me in.

Excellent movie....

I was also dissappointed in the scene in which the "vampire" sparkled...well actually shocked. I mean after he dramatically describes how horrifying he looks in the sunlight, I was expecting him to at least turn into a monster or something grotesque.

I mean sparkles...wtf?

3 things I cant stand about this movie that, without, woulda made for an amusing movie. Already touched on in previous replies, but here is my recap =P


1. Adults recommended it - seriously, if I had watched it with my 14 year old nephew cause he wanted to see it, I woulda just shrugged it off as a corny teeny bopper flick. But I watched it based on the recommendations of adult friends. It just baffles me to know end that it was found entertaining to these people.

2. The hype - no explenation needed.

3. Harry Potter - why harry potter? well it was brought up with a friend, and she made a great point, Harry Potter is a teeny/tweeny bopper movie yet it is still a great movie for adults. Never read the books, i think i've seen just the first 2 and maybe part of the 3rd on TV, but they are very entertaining and really well acted and made movies, no matter how old you are. Pixar movies too. Just kinda shows me that you can aim any kind of movie you want at kids and young adults without losing integrity and legitimate content.


I guess maybe even a 4 as well since it also bares repeating, how can you deviate anymore from Anne Rice? There's just no improving her idea of the vampire. That movie took her idea and turned it into a bad after school special.

Vampires used to be cool and an exclusive obsession for us "emo/goth" kids before twilight. Now everyone one is like drooling all over anything "vampire."

I thought this thread was going to be about the time of day, which I'm actually rather fond of. Forgot all about the book/movie.

Good analogy.

I can compare Harry Potter to Twilight quite easily...I thought both of them were going to be incredibly lame, but the movies actually weren't really THAT bad.

I would never take the time to actually read the books, though.



Now you know how I felt when Pirates of the Caribbean came out

Vampires:

1. Drink blood
2. Are undead
3. Can be killed with a stake to the heart (originally it would be pinning them to the ground)

They do not, nor will they ever, sparkle. Oh, and they're not "misunderstood." E. Vil.

have not read the books or seen the movie, and i don't want to.

have you guys seen the tshirts that say

"and then Buffy staked Edward, The End" and there is a picture of a grave on it.

I found a better summary.

Never read the books or saw the movie, and don't want to. Sparkling "vampires"? Um.... no thanks. *Gags a little*

If one wants vampire romance, I'd be more inclined to recommend Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series, or Christine Feehan's Dark series.

Today's generation of teens are infested with emo kids, I think that is the primary reason why the series took off. That and that most of them don't know what quality writing is.

Let me ask you: How interested were you in the smart, but a little weird girl sitting next to you?

There’s an episode of ”Married with children” in which Bud Bundy enters a TV show to be with a girl. Before she turns him down for a muscle guy, he says that that guy will only hurt her and use her, while he adores her and will worship her. She’d rather have five with a ”god” than an eternity as a goddess. Later on he makes the same choice himself.

I’m by no means any better, though. I’d rather enjoy a one night stand with someone that made my blood boil and that’s it, than any amount of time with someone who liked me unreciprocated. I think it simply is human nature to want who one considers to the best, even if it is by superficial measures. I’m not remotely pretty or sexy but that doesn’t keep me from having fantasies. And why should it? I have the same right as everyone else to dream.
Personally I’ve never had the hots for vampires but I have always had a thing for elves and some ETs (Oh Legolas…) Not real? No, of course not. But I’d rather enjoy fantasies and dreams that makes me (cencored) in a secure way than actually doing it. Fantasies are safe. Unlike real physical and emotional intimacy fantasies aren't uncomfortable, and they can’t make you sick or pregnant. And once you're through with them, ditch them without another thought. You can't beat that!
People just don’t do it for me unless they have an alien quality about them.
I take it that the guys that complain about girls and Edward don’t have a thing for anime girls, Lara Croft, princess Leia, Milla Jovovich’s characters or their like?! Why do you react so negatively to the fantasies of females when you have your own that are equally not real?


As for Twilight, I haven’t seen the movie but I’ve read the books. I just skimmed through the boring parts, though. The mushy parts are yawn, and the dialogues between Edward and Bella are hopelessly ridiculous. Nor do I get what’s romantic about a guy who always overrules his girlfriend and literally carries her around. It just annoyed me.
I pictured Edward like Edward Furlong, whom I digged more than a decade ago.
But I really liked the parts about the vampires, their stories and the special powers they had, the lore and how Jacob describes the cold ones in the first book. I just wish Stephanie Meyer had solved the mystery about Alice’s origins…
More than the vampires I enjoyed the werewolves. Their history, the way they coincided with the vampires, their wolf telepathy. I really liked the werewolf characters and Alice.
I thought the movies based on Anne Rice’s books were dead boring. I haven’t read the books.

To those of you who thought it silly that the vampires sparkle in stead of bursting into flames: I think that part was great! How many life forms do you know of that catch fire when exposed to the sun? What Meyer did was a brilliant take on the lore, remaining loyal to the core ideas but doing her own spin on them. ”There’s a reason why vamps can’t be seen in sunlight but it’s not the one you think. That’s just a myth. Here’s the real deal.” Weird but brilliant. So he doesn’t turn into a monster. But he sure can’t hide as a human looking all sparkly, I think that’s the point. St Elmo’s fire would’ve done nicely, too.
