What, you're not even going to mention Tintin? Seriously, there's been posters for it for ages and it's been sponsoring Blip via M&Ms. All the newspaper critics are saying it's really good and you only off-handedly mention a CGI sequel to a film I only found out about last week?
Kicking off the video with a whine about how you have to work instead of have all the fun you want to have is pretty weaksauce, man.
Let me introduce to you people who also have to do work before they get to have they fun they want: Everyone.

I stand firm on two points with the Twilight movies:
1) The movies *have* to be better than the books because the movie didn't have me reading hundreds of pages - with a wee too many words dedicated to either someone's sexiness or how shallow Bella was. I swear New Moon killed me in this regard.
2) Breaking Dawn's climax. That one was actually fine to me. Best part about the entire series. If not for the fact it actually had some of the best tension in the series (do note there wasn't really any to begin with), then for the fact it means Meyer doesn't write about another fight scene on how Edward looked like "he could have kissed her". Ugh.
Err...I mean.....I *never* read the Twilight books because I promised a girl I would read them. Never did that at all. >_>

Tintin doesn't come out in the US until Christmas, so he probably hasn't seen it yet.CrankyStorming said:

I'll admit that I've gone to midnight shows before, so in that regard I'm not any better than either of our relations. But I've never camped out hours in advance, and certainly not for a movie that I know is going to be cheesy as all hell going into it, seeing as how from my experiences all but the most ravenous of Twilight fans will admit these are B-list movies at the best of times.
I have never read or seen the movies but while my little sister was a twihard for the 6 months it took her to actually read the series again and stop 2 chapters into the first book I heard a shit ton and from genralizing about most of the shit in the series I can pretty much hold a conversation with someone who has actually read the books.ProjectTrinity said:
[obligiatory praise of video in hopes of getting another next week]. [joke about how breaking dawn being PG-13 is kinda stupid]. [paragraph where i skewer twlight for bad writing, etc]. [conclusion and wrap up, possibly with a joke].
Holy crap, a movie based on rampage?! that game is so old. and wasn't it just the game form of godzilla vs. king kong? i always felt like it was something that just didn't get the licensing permission but were already halfway done so just changed some names... this is a movie that will be the extreme one way or the other, if it's good it's going to be superawesomegreat, if it sucks we are going to be looking back on breaking dawn and green lantern fondly. it's not the sort of thing that'll be middle ground moderately successful...

I actually saw this movie yesterday [sub]set up by my damn sister...[/sub]
and I gotta say, as stupid as it is, I had a bunch of fun doing smartass comments on every stupid shit that was spouted from their mouths
so yeah, the entire movie
also, kinda surprises me that in a twilight movie, scooby-doo boy only took his shirt off
and it was as pointless as ever before

I just want to say that if they rewrite the final movie (Breaking Dawn Part 2) to be that Bella gives birth to Blade (Wesley Snipes in particular) then the franchise might be worth a damn because then we all know they will die a terrible death at the hands of a more set in mythos vampire... who also is a badass.
For anyone who actually read these books, does the last book really need two movies? Yes I get it, the last book is a thick one, but I only raise this question because it only took less than 2 years to push out 3 movies and now it seems like they will take more than 3 years to deliver only 2 movies.
Don't really know if this is just a sad attempt to extend the the longevity of this series, trying to squeeze out more earnings for a book that could have been told in one movie, or if the book really is full of important context that needs to be properly addressed in two movies.
And for those who don't know what vampires are, I implore you to watch Blade, Underworld, or Helsing.

My poor brother in law. He is in the Army and is on leave for awhile, his wife begged him to go and see this movie so they did and they went up there at 8 pm. right as the broncos started playing the jets... and he's a diehard broncos fan. i was sending him play by play to his cell phone all night...Thunderhorse31 said:
