Twilight....

[Bruised26]

Good, bad, or evil?

[flks511]

Not for me, but I can see where some people would like it.

[Christrings]

^ Same.

[domotime2]

Not for me, i cant see how anyone could actually enjoy this stupid piece of crap film.

i voted for the haylie duff one.

[dumhed01]

I'd bang Haylie Duff.
:shrug:

[mutualaddiction]

Honestly haven't seen or read it, but from what I can gather there are worse things for children to be obsessed with, i.e. High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers etc. At least Twilight might convince people to read a book for once, even if it isn't a lit masterpiece.

[batmannj]

I read the first book and thought it was ok. I didn't see the movie because it looked laughably bad.

[Neo Cassady]

Poor writing, decently engaging plot, gets kids reading so that's all that really matters.

[fightinirish217]

I chose the first one sarcastically, hope the choice was intended to be sarcastic.

It was honestly one of the worst movies Ive ever seen. Laughable that it actually won like 500 MTV awards last night, but that's 13 year old girls for ya. It was the worst acting I've ever seen.

[VIVALAMATT]

Great book, okay movie.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Great book, okay movie.
Agreed.

[phil19]

i havnt read it or seen the movie. i dont have too. my gf goes on and on and on about it. the girls at work go on and on and on about it.
i hate it!
im conviced its a cult

[SunnyInPhilly]

Should have been multiple choice. 1,2, & 4

[AussieBoy]

whats haylie duff got to do with the price of fish?

[AussieBoy]

BTW she is hot, but her sister still wins!

twilight sucks, i watched it scared id like it but was soo relieved it was shithouse, being vampires thought there would be sweet fighting, but was one crap scene in last 5mins.. only redeeming thing, good soundtrack

[LamarVannoy]

good book, crap movie.

what the hell has haylie duff got to do with anything?

[Heart-A-Tact]

It's entertaining, I'm sure, though it's not for me.

[EmaleeMae]

Agreed.
Ditto.

[jbaseball44]

Books are awful, movies are worse.

well, kind of. i just got done working at a barnes and noble for the past year and i can't even tell you how many times i had girls/teens/women come in and ask for "books like twilight" or "vampire books." if the things i showed them didn't appeal to them, they left empty-handed. so they're sort of reading, but they won't go past the teen-y romance-y vampire bullshit. it was so annoying.

:shrug: i pretty much just hate all things/people twilight after working there... ugh.

That's kind of what I was getting at...kids who wouldn't be reading otherwise are reading those books, and hopefully something else comes out now that the series is over that grabs their attention. They're filling the same niche and doing the same things that Goosebumps did for me as a kid.

[just.Starla.]

The book was okay, I actually liked it, but the movie wasn't that great.

[abbysmith]

The book was okay, I actually liked it, but the movie wasn't that great.
I'm pretty much the same. The book was okay, but I got over it after about a month.
The movie was a complete sack of shit.

[TreyForest]

checked out movie last night to see what the big deal was

i liked how they shot it, being so dark and eeriie or whatever, but the actual story was fucking bad
girls awkwardly hot in her own way though

fair. but it's not really getting them into reading. it's getting them into vampire romances. it's not like they're coming in like, well, this vampire series isn't what i'm looking for, let's find something else to read, cause i want a new book! they're just looking for a continuation of the twilight crap. ehh. maybe that's my jaded POV from working customer service. ha.

[FastEscape]

i didnt really like it. but i like the girl that plays bella...or whatever her name is. i saw her on the MTV movie awards. she cracked me up when she dropped the award :)

[Sherrice]

Who are the 7 idiots who thought this book was good?

[The Pharmacist]

hate themmmmmmmm

[redrose]

never read the book, but i saw the movie, it had some cute moments, but i thought a lot of the acting was just okay, nothing special, they could have done a lot more with this story line in terms of acting.

[Animalhill]

Isn't it now government mandate that every insecure girl that hates her boyfriend and has buried sexual urges involving blood like this?

[VIVALAMATT]

If people like it, then that's cool. I know when Harry Potter came out, I used to get a lot of shit for being obsessed with it. If people like Twilight and sparkling vampires and werewolves with six-packs, the so be it.

[doppelganger]

haylie duff is not pretty

[TotalCollapse]

It's not great, but it's not horrible.

[denissuxx]

lame

[AlternaPrincess]

I haven't read the books. I've heard the writing is awful, which I definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate. The movie was hysterically bad.

[Zippedychick]

I've been obsessed with the books for three years and I find it funny that everyone knows what it is now. The movie was pretty meh but I have high hopes for New Moon.

[justinmfi]

not sure about the books, but if they are anything similar to the movie, then it all blows.....i would rather watch harry potter if i had to.

[just.Starla.]

This. It's like everywhere you look there are all these Twilight books and people are acting like they're brand new even though they've been around since 2005. As for New Moon, I think the movie will be much better than Twilight, or at least I hope it will.

[billyboatkid]

Alright book, worst movie ever.

[billyboatkid]

The made the wolves look like overgrown dogs in the trailer.

All hopes for a better movie where shattered.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Plain stupid.

[LowFlyingJets]

I'd bang Haylie Duff.
:shrug:

everyone on this site would =p

whether or not they'll swallow their pride and admit it? another story

[rikfrommf]

This. Meyer is a crap writer, but the plot is alright, and it gets kids reading.

[jjjkman]

I hated the books...so I didn't even bother to see the movie because i heard it was even worse. The writing was horrible, and I really can't stand the undeserved obsession people have over it. But like other people have said, at least it encourages reading. It could be worse.

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

never seen, haylie is not good looking though.

[Indoor Living]

Isn't it now government mandate that every insecure girl that hates her boyfriend and has buried sexual urges involving blood like this?


Run-on sentence.

[Animalhill]

Run-on sentence.
Nope. It was a run-on joke.:-)

[Indoor Living]

Nope. It was a run-on joke.:-)


Touche.

[xrider105]

Didn't read the book. Okay movie. Didn't see that option. It was either love or hate or Haylie Duff.

[dumhed01]

everyone on this site would =p

I'd rather bang Hilary Duff though.
If she'd put on some goddamn weight.

[recall reality]

I'll quote Stephen King on this one, "Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

And the movie... I wouldn't subject myself to such a thing.
