Unfortunately I'll be watching this movie with my wife on Saturday. Luckily it's at 10:30 AM....so all of the emo kids are still at home cutting themselves.

At least I'm getting dragged to the CinemaSuites. I made the wife wait until next weekend because I told her there's no way I'm going to an under-21 theater to see this movie. So we compromised and are going to the CinemaSuites. At least now I can get shitfaced during the movie and have some tasty grilled salmon.

Must be nice. I have to go to the regular theaters. I don't think we have anything comparable to the "CinemaSuites".

My GF and some of her coworkers are going to this 'film' Sat. Initially they said they were gonna make me go. I said if you want a running commentary ala MST3K (but probably not as funny) the whole film I'll gladly go.

I tried to do that.....and she wasn't buying it. I'll make sure that I have a comment for everything. :D

A few months ago I would go on yahoo answers and post questions like, "OMG! Serious question about Twilight"
Then I would write something like- how exactky are you able to chew food, or walk, or pass the third grade? Like, does someone mash up your food for you and spoon it into your mouth? How does it work when you have no brain?"
Then all these Twilighters would email me a bunch of angry stuff.

I may get lucky and only have to netflix it

Nah.I got lucky and had to work late tonight.Won't be home till after 11 so her and 8 of her nurse girlies from the hospital are going to the midnight showing.I'm sure I'll have to go see it sometime this weekend though.

Can a female on here explain to me the appeal of this please??

Edward Cullen is, like, sooooo dreamy.

Think about it. He's the ultimate woman's fantasy. He's an asshole, because he could kill you at any second, but he's soooo in loooove.

Bad boy and good guy all in one.

Need your man card removed for even starting this thread. SOMEONE CLOSE THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!! lol

I am fairly serious. lol

Okay, you can remove my man card for it if you want... but I get to take it back when she returns the favor in the bedroom.

lol, i seen the first one, i just thought it was horribly ****ing bad. I may even have to watch the 2nd one when my friend comes over and brings her daughters. THey absolutely love the ****ing thing. I just hate it, but sometimes you gotta suck it up. :(

I need to think up an idea like twilight. Teenage girls eat this shit up and drop cash like its nothing.

Heh. There's a reason lots of "real" authors are putting out YA fiction these days. Lots of movie deals in YA. The Lightning Thief, Twilight, Blood and Chocolate, Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Holes, Hoot, My Sister's Keeper, Vampire's Assistant, I Love you Beth Cooper, Coraline, Harry Potter, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Push (now the movie Precious) etc.. etc.. I could go on and on. If you make a big YA novel, you're pretty much guaranteed a movie deal.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Pretty sure that's called prostitution.

And no, you don't earn your mancard back for having sex with your girlfriend.

jfc.

Jesus, they just showed a commercial for this. Looks ghastly. :shake:

Thats what i do. Start cutting up the film as it goes. Predicting what is going to happen. She learned to go with her girlfriends if she wants to see this crap.

I do go to more romantic comedies that are more tolerable with her.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. With a sequel, too.

Who said anything about sex? I'm making her paint the house.

Oh, the list could go on and on and on and on. YA is big business. Scholastic Press has to be making a freaking killing.

What are the top 5 YA books of all time?

Well, YA is hard to classify, because many people put things like Oliver Twist or My Antonia! in YA. Lots of people say it's YA if it has a young protagonist. Now, though, the YA marketing is much different, and it's more of a marketing gimick than anything. So, I don't know. I can tell you current hot titles, but not best of all time.

That sounds like a pretty good scam. I'm gonna write some made up crap about my life. A poor kid from LA gets adopted and moves to Beverly Hills or some crap. Girls will eat it up and I'll be using twenty dollar bills as toilet paper.

BOOOOO! :harumph:

I bet Reaper would give me a top 5 YA list of all time.

Reaper! Go!

Here's the greatest YA book ever: The Giver

someone fire up some R.L. Stien!

I'm very, very underread in the YA scene. I'm fine with that, too. Neil Gaiman's work is fantastic & popular with many young adults. My favorite YA author as a grade schooler was Sharon Creech. I might read Walk Two Moons again soon just to see how it holds up.

I once owned every single Goosebumps book. Every single one.

Scholastic made a dickton of money off of me in grade school. I have always been, since age ****ing two, a voracious reader.

Yeah I bought every single one of those goosebumps from scholastic myself. I think my parents hated me because I would buy a ton of books and read two out of the bunch.

By the way, I'll happily take the Underworld (also Werewolf and Vampire) series of movies over these Twilight P.O.S's.

And from what I've seen of the previews the girls wardrobe is doubled.

OMG TWIIIIILIIIIIIGHT!!!! is so gay.

You couldnt pay me to sit through this shitfest.

I'd rather take a branding iron to my ball bag than see 1 second or read one page of this reeruned series.

Like vampires? Time to come out of the closet.

Goosebumps books were the shit. I had all of those books.

Thirded.

I honestly had a stack of like 15+ Goosebumps on my desk from 2nd-5th grade at any given moment. And guess who got all the Pizza Hut Personal Pan pizzas for reading achievements?

This motherfucker right here. Read a book, get a pizza. What a deal.

SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my top 5 list of contemporary YA. These are all geared to teen readers, so some are racy.

1) Perks of Being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky
2) King Dork by Frank Portman
3) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
4) The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
5) Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn
6) Honorable mention because I like dystopic lit: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Unwind by Neal Shusterman, Rash by Pete Hautman

Now, those are YA books that I really liked and consider to be "good." If you want to talk about YA books that are popular and that I can get my kids to read and love:

1) 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher
2) Unwind by Neal Shusterman
3) The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (not really YA, but kids love it)
4) Rash by Pete Hautman
5) Any drug, abuse, anorexia, cutting type book. Better if it's a memoir: see Cut, Wasted, Crank, Stick Figure, Child Called It, Go Ask Alice, etc..

If you look up any of the above popular titles, you'll see that they all have a weird, compelling "hook" that makes the book instantly compelling when you tell someone about it.

When I was young I think basically every kid read the Outsiders.
I don't think To Kill a Mockingbird is normally in the YA section, but don't most kids read it around ninth grade? That would be one of mine.

"The Lostboys" with CGI.

I'll pass.

You know what's really sad....?

When kids today hit our age, they'll be reminiscing on "Twilight" the way some of us reminisce on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or G.I Joe.

My wife dragged me to the first one, big mistake. I wanted to blow my brains out after the first 20 minutes. When we were walking out of the theater I told her that there was no way in Hell that I was going to the next one. She is going with a girlfriend to see it on Sunday.

Heh

another... I am so clevar
 

Heh again

I liked Lost Boys. The Frog brothers kicked ass, and Jamie Gertz was hot as hell.

+1

NINJA TURTELS? GI JOE? -knowings half the battle and half of gi joe was fragtarded.
Might aswell add the smurfs, gummy bears,16 candles, & pretty in pink to that list.


DUKES OF HAZZARD! A-TEAM! TRANSFORMERS! RAMBO! FALL GUY! THUNDAR THE BARBARIAN! STAR WARS! INDIANA JONES! THE WRATH OF ****IN KHAN! CONAN!

i quit readin when i found out my dick was for somethin other than peeing.

Can't get any gheyer than this.

My wife and 17 year old daughter are going, I have better shit to do. Like shaving my head with a cheese grater.

dont lie, there is a little part of you that pines to let you inner twilight fan out......

i just turn that shit off, when my kid talks about harry or howard or whatever the **** that guys name is my brain just goes blank and my ears buzz.

Not lying... it is ghey.

Still waiting for someones review......

Some stupid **** on my facebook has seen the first Twilight movie 22 times.

IN THE THEATER

****

My wife has a friend who tries to look like one of the girls in the movie. She is meeting this weekend with some other Twilight freak she met on the internet. They are getting Twilight tattoos. They are also planning on attending a ****ING TWILIGHT CRUISE!!!!!

I wish I was joking.

Wow......... that's just.... I don't..... how could......... Wow...............

Go to this meeting. Execute them all. For the good of mankind.

I sat next to a kid (male) in class who went to this last night at midnight. What the ****? Why would he tell me that?

By the way, I heard HANNAH ****ING MONTANA was in this?

REALLY?

HANNAH ****ING MONTANA?

IN A VAMPIRE MOVIE?

CREDIBILITY...FLUSHED!

No...I think you got your information screwed up.

Miley Cyrus has come out and said that Twilight is like a cult and that she refuses to watch it.

Oh...well good for her.

So it had credibility before that?

I didn't think the first one was that bad. I'll probably go to see this one with my daughters, who both loved the books, at some point.

No.

It's a chick thing. We men don't get it.

File it away with things like romance novels, women's magazines, Johnny Depp, "Dark Shadows", Englebert Humperdink and Tom Jones and Michael Bolton, Fabio, Merchant-Ivory movies, the Hallmark channel, etc.,.

But that's okay. They don't get why we like movies where shit gets blown up and guys shoot at each other. :shrug:

I rented Twilight and it's hands down the worst vampire movie I have ever seen. I cannot understand why it's popular or anyone other than a young teenage girl could enjoy it

Heh, I asked my son Brett (13 next month) if the kids at his school were excited about the new twilight movie. He said, "Only the girls."

He complained that "Their werewolves just look like normal wolves", then we agreed on the fact that vampires should be bloodthirsty killers and not emo pretty boys who glitter in the sun.

The closest I could stomach to "pretty boys" were Angel and Spike on "Buffy", because they were still kick-ass. Plus, Spike was basically just working the effeminate "David Bowie meets Billy Idol" punk thing.

This is want a vampire should look like

Wait a second...what's wrong with Tom Jones?
