Question of the Day, June 26, 2010



Publicity is ramping up in anticipation of next Wednesday's debut of the next movie in the Twilight saga, Eclipse. It's time to choose your team. So, whose side are you on?

[Sparrow]

How about, Team ARE YOU SERIOUS? Where's the "I'd rather read My Immortal" option?

 

[Higurashi]

While I do agree with Spawwow for the reason that I dislike how the story portrays an abusive relation as true love, it also makes the poll an easy one for me. You need only ask yourself who the least abusive one is.

 

[Lazarus Long]

And there isn't even an "other" option. I choose Team Buffy.

Spoiler: Or Team Blade.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Team Calumon!

Calumon: Everyone on my team gets cake!

Spoiler: EDIT!

Well, since most of you want Calumon so much. I quickly threw up a poster!

Calumon: Don't stop Believing!

Edward? Never heard of him!

 

[PandyBear]

Neither, Twilight blows mucho ass.
Unless of course there's Team: I'll hide for a month or so, for twilight and all its angsty fans to go away.

 

[HK_01]

Really? I'm speechless. How did you miss that almost all people here hate Twilight?

How about, Team ARE YOU SERIOUS?

You know, this is exactly what I wanted to write, but you ninja'd me on it.

Spoiler: Or Team Blade.

[/spoiler][/QUOTE]

Ha, that's awesome!

Also, didn't the last movie only come out like half a year ago?? How fast are they throwing these onto the market?!?

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

So... Necrophilia or Bestiality essentially?

I'll go with neither, thanks.

 

[Talvrae]

Can i just die instand of answering this question?

 

[Sun Flash]

Hopefully, no-one realises I voted for Edward.

I'm on to you... >_>

OT: While both sides would benefit from a (silver) bullet to the head, as far as
I am aware Stephanie Meyer's werewolves don't sparkle. so them. Still not voting though.

took the words right out of my mouth

 

[unacomn]

Funny, I was having a similar conversation about this recently, but it ended with me saying: "If you finish that question I swear to God I will murder you on the spot."

 

[Abedeus]

Yeaaah... Out of those two options, I choose Team Bender.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Spoiler: Or Team Blade.

[/spoiler][/QUOTE]

Damn, beat me to it. Yeah, Team Fucking Blade!

 

[Trogdor1138]

It's very hard to decide due to the complex narrative that is the Twilight Saga, I think one really has put themselves in her shoes and have Bella's experience to be able to make a choice, it's hard because it's ofcourse eternal love and all. I think if you study the subtext of Eclipse especially you'll find some issues on dealing with the after effects of an important decision and whether the human mind has a lasting decision on it's emotional drive. Stephanie Meyer managed to make a very relateable and well driven series that made people look at themselves in a different way and re-evaluate what it means to be human.

Is what I would say if the books even counted as literature or art whatsoever, so fuck those people *continues using it as toilet paper*

 

[Jandau]

This Question of the Day is the first I've heard of the third movie. In fact, I didn't even know they were making it (though it was inevitable). I'm pretty proud of this...

As for the movie itself, I'll do what I did with the previous two - Wait for the DVD release, rent it and laugh my arse off with my GF. Some of the best comedy these days.

Also, GO Team Blade!

EDIT: Am I the only one who thinks whoever made this QotD is flamebaiting a little?

And If I absolutely had to pick one, it'd be Jacob, since he's less of a douchebag.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Team Calumon!

Calumon: Everyone on my team gets cake!

Hopefully, no-one realises I voted for Edward.

Can I join team Calumon?

OT:

Seriously.

Team Calumon.

 

[SomeBoredGuy]

Team Calumon!

Calumon: Everyone on my team gets cake!

Hopefully, no-one realises I voted for Edward.

Wait, did you say cake?

*puts on "Team Calumon t-shirt, Calumon hat and gets out huge "Team Calumon" sign*

OT: Where's the option for Team "That truck driver who almost ran over Bella at the start of the series and ended it there are then"?

 

[BlueHighwind]

Is there a Team Alucard?
