Fuckin’ pathetic.

LOL at the original Lost Boys, which is just a really gorey (and gayer) version of Twilight. [/quote]

Its an angry letter written by a Twilight fan to Universal chastising them for ripping off Twilight in the Wolfman remake.

Things like this make my brain hurt.

Agreed. Why the hell do moms get a free pass to act like this but if a group of guys stare at Brittany Spears’ ass too long when she first hit the scene, suddenly it was “nasty”?

I watched Lost Boys one day and I thought it was funny at times when trying to be serious. Like when they fill up squirt guns and the kid holds it up aiming it and shooting it and making some face.

I thought werewolves were pretty bad ass in Dog Solider and Underworld Series. Not so much CGI,if any but the directing of them creeped me out. I do believe Dog Soldiers came out in 2002…not saying it was the first movie to have werewolves but was made waaaaaaaayyyyy before Twilight was even written.

Like that link Wol posted they are more like dogs than anything. Its a movie catered to 14 year old with no imagination or parents that do not let them watch outside of the PG-13 area.

46

Ok so I checked this topic out because at first glance of the title/author I thought- PX just caught the Ghey.

Ok crisis aborted, carry on.

47

The Wolf Man bombed out at the box office, but Twilight does great. Why God? Why do you forsake me?!

[quote]To whom this may concern:

This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a “were wolf”. I don’t see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it. How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet? Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is “supposed” to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn’t come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man. You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn’t even make the top Movie for the charts; Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY oppinion and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks.
FREAKIN LAUTNER DID!

The Poser of who could never be even if they tried : " Aka : Rabid poser Werewolf “The Wolf Man”

OR My favorite: Taylor Daniel Lautner aka Jacob Black

TEAM JACOB- cuz hes a REAL WEREWOLVE!

LOL!!!

I turned the movie off after “Twilight’s Werewolf” leaped in the air and all of his clothes burst off like leaves in the wind and he cartoonishly instantly became a wolf with ZERO transformation effect.

I blame this movie for the further dumbing down of dumb people.

Oh…hell nah,Doug. Nothing is gayer than Twilight. Lost Boys has an excuse…it was the '80s…lol.

Lost Boys was directed by the same guy who put nipples on the Batsuit.

Too much of a remake…we needs some fresh werewolf movie ideas. So what we need to do is get with Cesar Milan and make it happen.

That explains a lot.

The entire idea of Vampires has been totally butchered by this crap, and the modern pop-phenomenon.

Vampires are supposed to represent, old, unchanging, obsolete aristocrats, locked away in their castle, celebrating their undying bloodlines, no one in the real world gives a shit about. They are supposed to be evil and powerful, but totally pathetic at the same time. They are an interesting literary creation, and tool for addressing social issues (two centuries ago).

This author should try reading a book before hijacking a literary device and turning it into a ghey-teenie-bopper phenomenon.

Vampires being “cool” is wrong. If the author is doing their job, they should be despicable. They suck your blood and fuck your corpse… come on. Vampires as hawt-emo-guy is the lowest of the low.

“Even watching the clip on youtube you can feel the room get moist” Best part of that Kevin Smith clip.

Well said and that is really why I started the thread. I mean, this movie takes “popcorn Hollywood bullshit” to a new level. There is NO redeeming value to this shit other than pop culture knowledge.

When girls start thinking the Wolfman is a rip off of Twilight, clearly someone needs to stop the madness before we start getting Blade movies where instead of slicing Vampires in half, he takes them on long walks so he can admire how their skin sparkles in the day light.

I literally HAD to turn this off. I could feel everything that made me not a woman being sucked from my body by the TV screen.

In fact, that was scarier than any horror flick ever seen.

54

What I can’t get past X is, why did you even consider renting/buying it to watch? You must be a hardcore movie goer then.

55

I am officially blaming the Cracked forums for all of these little bits of weird Twilight shit I find…

I don’t care what anyone says, I loved Buffy.

I treat a lot of kids. SEVERAL patients had been going on and on about this movie and because I wanted to see what the hype was about, I got it. Now, I want to take the dvd out into the middle of the street and set on fire after running over it 25 times in my car.

The Howling Re-make can save the day. God,I hope it does. Hell, do a re-make of Silver Bullet and that will whip ass!

For the record, I liked the Wolf Man and Daybreakers.

I laughed out loud.

This cracked me up too.

Edward, the romantic hero of the Twilight series, is a sweet, screwed-up high school kid, and at the beginning of his relationship with Bella, she is attracted to him because he is strange, beautiful, and seemingly repulsed by her. This exact scenario happened several times in my high school between straight girls and gay guys who either hadn’t figured out they were gay or were still in the closet. Twilight’s fantasy is that the gorgeous gay guy can be your boyfriend, and for the slightly awkward teenage girls who consume the books and movies, that’s the clincher. Vampire fiction for young women is the equivalent of lesbian porn for men: Both create an atmosphere of sexual abandon that is nonthreatening. That’s what everybody wants, isn’t it? Sex that’s dangerous and safe at the same time, risky but comfortable, gooey and violent but also traditional and loving. In the bedroom, we want to have one foot in the twenty-first century and another in the nineteenth.
