Escape to the Movies: Breaking Dawn, Part 1
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
Ah, Twilight... i've only seen the first movie and the best thing i could say about it was, that it was much better than the book it was based on... which is kinda admirable, in a way. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was still bad, but they were at least trying to make something good out of a really, really horrible book.
My sister and two of her friends camped out in lawn chairs for three hours to get into the opening midnight show of this movie.
Sometimes I worry about her.

I feel sorry for you
I really wish they hadn't made a movie out of the series.
Yes, the series sang it's siren song at me when I was a tween, but I snapped out of it fast.
But to make a movie??
That's sick people.

Bob, for the sake of your sanity I think we'll all understand if you skip out on the finale. I think we all know what you're gonna say about it, and there's no chance in Hell more than a few of us would see it anyways. You don't have to hurt yourself for our sakes anymore. It's time to heal.
OT: No surprises here. I'll be spending my time doing other things that are more condusive towards a Utopian society. Like clubbing baby seals, selling crystal meth to toddlers, and shoving carrots into random people's ears while whistling the 'Doug' theme song.

Well, that wasn't quite as venomous as I expected.. though Bob does have a point, at this point there really just isn't anywhere near as much pro-Twilight zeitgeist as there used to be on any front, so there's not much point in stating it's clearly problematic existence. Those who do still care about it are even further beyond "help" than could ever be offered.
For those who are looking for a more scathing review, however, I recommend the excellently written one done by Hitfix's Drew McWeeny:

Wait wait wait wait, you mean Twilight pushes traditional gender roles? Damn it!! Now I'm going to have to jump on that hate bandwagon. I'm all for abstinence, but I hate traditional gender roles.
My wife's friends begged her to go see this with them, so she did. She said that apparently there were people on line at 2 p.m. to get into the midnight showing. So yeah, ten hours. Sitting in line. For Twilight.Tuesday Night Fever said:
Dammit, they phoned in the stupid stuff?
That would've actually made this movie worth seeing. Well, I guess there's little hope for me to see the Vampire C-section in part 2 in all its moronic glory now.
