The angst it burns!

I don't get the hate for Twilight.

It's pretty popular - must be doing something right :\

Popular doesn't always mean 'good' or 'right'

I think girls are perfectly entitled to their special girlporn.
Men spend all their time looking at people fucking, all ladies want to do is see people smouldering and thinking about fucking.
Who are we to deny them that.

Yes I am aware this is a ridiculous thing to say that is the fucking point.

What the fu...

Oh... That makes more sense... Still though, What the fuck?

Come on, fairy tales. You don't have to take it like this. Bring back the Grimm Bros. version. I want to see a violent axe murder.

Popular =/= good

Look at Call of Duty. Or the Jonas Brothers. *shudder*

I'll wait for another trailer before damning the film, but I did hear a couple lines in the trailer that sound ripped from Twilight. I hope it turns out good, mainly because Gary Oldman and DiCaprio are a couple of guys whose work I like.

*frothy, raging rant)

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Oh man, this sucks.

As if they'd take a CHILDREN'S STORY and turn it into some "Romantic Thriller". It's ludicrous, didn't they learn their lesson with Alice in Wonderland?

It shouldn't even be classified as "Romantic Thriller". It's better suited to "Lovey Fighting"

Popular does mean good.

What makes good music? People liking it.

You don't get to decide what is good or bad because you do or don't like something - it's what the people like. And Twilight has a lot of fans.

Well that's just plain not true.

Twilight is a prime example of how something 'not good' can be very popular. It's a farce of a film! The books were ok, but mostly just Bella whinging about how horny she was in her own head. Padding out 90mins of footage with that is a struggle!

It was popular with teenage girls because they have Nothing Else! Almost all rom-com's or romance movies in general are aimed at an older female audience, the little girlies only get half the references. Here comes one film, the only one ever aimed at that market. So they lapped it up, for better or for worse.

Another example would be Nickelback, loads of people hate them but I think they're pretty good...

Lame. I think I'll just stick with The Brothers Grimm, that was a cool movie. This movie looks like they are trying to romanticize it far too much and will ultimately turn that guy with the faux-hawk becomes every lonely girls wet dream. I really wish that if they want to go for gritty fantasy they need to stop using the pretty boy as Mancandy #1 who has a troubled past but is really just a sweet guy, which is what they have begun to do, which is distressing to me because that's just shitty story telling.

Popular does not mean good. Popular means good to a lot of people.
"Good" and "bad" are entirely subjective. Nothing can unanimously be declared as either.

Not that I have a problem with Twilight. I am not a fan, but people are welcome to like what they want. It fills a void.

Now, what DOES bug me about Twilight is the hatedom. Much, MUCH more than the retarded fandom.
These are the people who never shut the fuck up about it. It's like the "TWUE METALHEADS" and Bieber. They are just giving it free advertising and pissing me the fuck off with their incessant bitching on the same fucking subject all the fucking time.

Yes, we get it. You hate it and you are a big boy. All grown up and definitely not a girl. Different just like everyone else. Cool for you.
Now please shut the hell up.

Are you trying to say that Alice in Wonderland was a bad movie?

Yes but all of those fans are stupid, immature little girls who wouldn't know culture if it slapped them in the face.
