looks badass btw
I’m lucky my woman hates these movies/books, thinks its the stupidest shit since sliced bread. She also hates chick flicks too so its even better when it comes time to go out to see a movie. Saw repo-men instead of any of the goopidy-sappidy-crappidy crap thats out now.
Twilight is too gay. it’s just too gay for me. i love a good chick flick. but Twilight is too gay.

Have you read Bram Stoker’s Dracula?
“No, but it’s on the list. I should’ve read that one a long time ago, but right now I can’t read any vampire novels. I tried, after I wrote Twilight, to read The Historian, because it was the big thing that summer. But I can’t read other people’s vampires. If it’s too close [to my writing], I get upset; if it’s too far away, I get upset. It just makes me very neurotic.”
Is it true you’ve never seen a vampire movie?
“I’ve seen little pieces of Interview with a Vampire when it was on TV, but I kind of always go YUCK! I don’t watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror. And I think I’ve seen a couple of pieces of The Lost Boys, which my husband liked, and he wanted me to watch it once, but I was like, It’s creepy!”
Fuckin’ pathetic.

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.

Internet high-five for those that know how and where the Vampire myth originated.
Take no offense Prof, but I had this image from the black guy in the movie White Chicks that was all about lovin’ and excited abouit “white things…” music etc… Just imagining this hulking black guy getting excited about twilight using your opening post. That cracks me up.

Maybe I’m wrong about Pitt, I was young in the 90s, but I don’t remember straight males liking him at large till after he did Fight Club.
A little history lesson for y’all on the origin of the vampire myth (Dracula, to be exact):
Once upon a time in the 1400s, there was a blood-thirsty ruler of Wallachia. His castle is located in present day Transylvania, a region of Romania. His name was Vlad III, but everyone lovingly referred to him as Vlad the Impaler, which stems from his favourite method of execution. Anyone who dared cross him or his laws would swiftly receive a sharpened pole up their ass, carefully navigated through their internal organs and finally out their mouths. Now that’s what I call a BMF.
He struck fear in the hearts of fellow countrymen and enemies alike. It is told that an invading army of Ottomans turned back at the sight of 20,000 impaled corpses. Or that nobody would pick up a bag of coins off the ground lest they be labeled a thief and be executed.
Then Bram Stoker wrote his novel some few hundred years later, where he writes of a blood-sucking fairy character named Dracula, after Vlad’s father’s name Dracul, which means “the devil” in Romanian.
And that’s my 2/100 of a dollar.
Vampire Diaries anyone?
I can’t understand why the guys want that chick, she’s such a downer, she’s not that hot, she not fun.

Good point. All that I could gather is that she “smells delicious”.
I mean, if this chick gets hounded by vampires and werewolves, what the hell are the cheerleaders getting hit on by? Is there some high school out there getting assaulted by folk legends like 60 foot tall Paul Bunyans?

If you were a werewolf you would understand.

A co-worker gave me a bootleg theatre copy. I fell asleep after 15 minutes after a vagina began to grow on me. I woke up, and it went away. Thank goodness for that. The actual author of the book doesn’t even watch vampire movies. What a cunt! She probably daydreams of skinny white sparkling teenage anorexic boys.
Isn’t it sad that when millions of grown women lust over a teenage character, it’s absolutely fine. But if us men were to show how we want to fuck a teenage female character in a movie, we’re all sicko’s…WTF?!
Sorry ladieslov, I was just going off what you said. It’s so true…so true…

I hope this comes to pass.
I deeply enjoyed the film, however not for the reasons the producers intended. I’m a big fan of horrible cinema - movies that try and take themselves seriously and wind up being laughably bad - and this piece of shit had me rolling on the floor.
1.) The acting/characters: Holy mother of shit. We’ve all seen some poorly acted films before, but THIS piece of impacted feces took the cake. The characters were all struggling to achieve even a single dimension of identity. A few examples:
Bella: Depressed. ALWAYS. Capable of a single facial expression (the “I am depressed yet yearning for something intangible” expression)
Edward: Brooding. That’s ALL he is capable of doing. Whether feasting upon a captured deer or watching kids playfully search for Easter eggs, Edward the vampire is incapable of doing anything else but brooding.
Bella’s Dad: Did they yank this guy off the set of a Nabob coffee commercial? Maybe the good people at Nabob fired him for being unable to theatrically convey a man enjoying a morning cup of coffee. The dynamics between Bella and her dad are as forced and awkward as a family on a term life insurance commercial.
2.) Dialog: Hilarious. Horrible. I could quote for ages but I think one in particular sums up the film:
Edward: Bella, are you getting used to the Pacific Northwest?
Bella: No. I don’t like things that are cold…and wet.
?!?!?!?!!?!? WTF?? Who the hell have you ever heard say shit like that? Even the goth kids I went to high school with wouldn’t say something like that.
Did some clueless poster really compare Lost Boys to Twilight and found them on equal ground?
WTF?
No one was acting like the Vampires in Lost Boys were this weak when that movie came out. Not only that, but the vamps in Lost Boys stayed true to traditional folklore about vampires. They didn’t sparkle.

PX…I watched Lost Boys recently. It could maybe be included into “movies that should have sucked but didn’t”. Really good movie…those mullets were brutal though lol.
From what Pimpbot was saying I don’t think I could last more than five minutes before I turned it off. Is there any vampire titties?

There in lies the reason these books are so damn popular. It is the plain girl with no discernible talent or personality who gets these immortal sex gods.
For every angsty teenage girl who gets passed over for the cute cheerleader or for every adult woman who used to be that awkward teen, this book provides hope that she is destined for bigger and better things if only someone special would notice. Its insidious like that.
Add in the fact that though the guy treats the girl like shit, it is because he loves her so much and you create a culture of insecure women looking to be dominated (and not in a good way) because they have no opinions of their own. What’s that? Your boyfriend is being cold and distant? Of course he isn’t fucking some other girl, he is probably just a vampire or something.
I have read more than my fair share of romance novels, but they used to be the good kind; the 18 year old over-privileged yet fiercely independent girl and the 35 year old warlord who must break her spirit in order for her to achieve total ecstasy. Ah, the good ole days.

Lost Boys was a hit when it came out…among GUYS in the 80’s and girls who thought the leads looked cool. Kiefer Sutherland pretty much guarantees a movie is worth watching just by being in it. That is what put him on the map leading to everything else he is now known well for.
It was an 80’s movie though so people comparing it directly to 2010 would be lost just like people who judge the movie Goonies by today’s standards.
Goonies was a certifiable hit when it first came to movie theaters but many today might find it overly silly.
80’s movies have to be seen in the context of other 80’s movies. That is why The Breakfast Club is still cool even though many of us might avoid a movie like that today.
I know one thing…the day Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is seen as silly and irrelevant I will know it is time for me to die.

Agreed. Titanic struck me in the same way because I don’t believe the lead girl in that has been in much else since. She was basically a stand-in for every girl out there who will never be Prom Queen.
I could say the same concept holds true to many of the “guy movies” Hollywood is releasing since suddenly the skinny teenager is now such a bad ass in so many of these movies.
Movies like Eagle Eye where LaBuff actually plays a lead role that should have gone to someone who actually look liked a man come to mind. There is no way guys like that were LEAD ROLE material for action movies in the 80’s and 90’s. Shia is no Bruce Willis.
