Question of the Day, July 1, 2010



The third installment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse opened Wednesday in theaters everywhere. Will you be lining up to see it?

I'm going to see it on Saturday, with my sister >.>
She invited me to this one, and took me to see the other two, so why not?
They're entertaining, which is the point.

 

[DaxStrife]

The only way I will ever see this movie is by borrowing the DVD from someone else (so they don't get my money) and watching it with the Rifftrax commentary.

 

[DuplicateValue]

How come there's no "Yes, because I'm mildy interested and might as well see how it turns out" option?

That'd cover me.

 

[DividedUnity]

Nope. Not my kind of movie. I won't be hating on it like a lot of people as I haven't seen the others

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Nope.
I don't like going to the cinema. Stupid Surround sound shit always fucks with my head.
Besides, it has sparkling vampires. That's just wrong.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

It's a film for teenage girls. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but that's who it's for. That doesn't cover me (as far as I can tell). However, my girlfriend is dragging me to see it.

I work at a cinema and so I'll probably have to sit in on it to shut people up. If only there was a Rifftrax for the theatrical release.

 

[Jackalb]

I've seen the first two I can't suddenly try to forget the story and just guess what happens.

 

[Albino Boo]

I'd rather watch my 60 year old mother having sex with Mickey Rourke live on Fox news with Bill O'Reilly giving a running commentary.

 

[Keava]

Question is rather, why would I? There is plenty of movies out there to watch, plenty of tv series, and most importantly plenty of good books to read for me to bother with one purely commercial creation.

Im not interested in it, it's not something I could even remotely enjoy, so why would I even care it's out?

 

[Frybird]

Despite that, after reading some reviews and noticing who directs the whole thing, my naive hopes that it features 30 Days of Night Style Vampire Violence have gotten a push, my common sense will prevent me from actually seeing it.

 

[Loonerinoes]

This really is more of a rethorical poll, given what I've observed of the Escapist community.

Having said that, if someone dragged me to it I would watch it...perhaps only so as to witness wether these movies really are as bad as everyone decries them of being.

 

[HK_01]

No.

Also, is this Eclipse thing really such a big deal that there has to be at least one item in the news ticker for it each day? I mean, not even the biggest games, except maybe WoW, get this much coverage from this site.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Bah, I'll probably see it with a DVD. It will probably be a laugh festival like Jennifer's Body.


Man, that film was hilarious. I'm serious. Pick some friends and beers and try to make jokes at the movie. You'll have a fantastic time.

 

[Abedeus]

I'd rather throw my money into a puddle of stale toilet water. And then drink the water. And pee it out and drink again, until I get kidney damage or something.

There are 50 movie I know that are better to watch.

 

[Cherry Cola]

I didn't last one hour in the theater.

I had to run.

 

[BlueHighwind]

No, I want watch Twilight 3. But here a couple vampire movies that I think I might actually watch instead, every one of them are far superior to any Twilight Movie:

1. From Dusk Till Dawn
2. Near Dark
3. Fright Night
4. John Carpenter's Vampires
5. Dracula (the classic original)
6. Vampire's Kiss
7. Dracula 2000
8. Daybreakers
9. Bram Stoker's Dracula
10. 'Salem's Lot (original)
11. Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Dracula is there)
12. the entire Hellsing anime
13. the entire Blood+ anime
14. all of True Blood
15. I Am Legend
16. Dracula Dead and Lovin' It
17. Martin
etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

 

[Artemus_Cain]

No. I'd rather shove my genetals in a meat grinder than sit through one of these awful, evil, stupid fucking movies ever again.
