I hate being "that guy" that hasn't seen the movie and still forms an opinion, but somehow I just don't see how Twilight can be even a favorite unless you've only watched 1 movie.

Blah, blah, blah tastes and all that....but damn, seriously. You said yourself you knew people were going to make fun of you, lol.

It's kinda hard not to with some of the amazing movies made this year.

As for Twilight itself, I've only heard that people that loved the book REALLY love the book and they thought the movie stunk. And people that never read the books still didn't get what all the fuss was about....so I really see no reason to get into the craze. As it is, I kinda hate vampire movies anyway (at least, the modern day "everyone's a goth dude/chick" version). But that's me just being an ignorant prick forming opinions when I haven't see it...sue me :p

I have to agree with you there. I pretty much write them off a teen pleasers before I give them a chance, which i know I shouldn't im sure Im missing some good stuff. I liked the Blade movies (first 2 anyways) but beyond that I steer clear of vampire movies.
It's almost like Ive been living in a cave regarding this whole Twilight thing. The only time I've heard about it is when Jon Stewart mentioned it briefly on the daily show, had no idea until now it was about vampires, and had a movie as well.
I know True Blood is all the rage, but I watched a few episodes and it didn't really grab me.

You've heard wrong........no vampire lays any sexual claim to a baby. While I've read all the books also, and if you gave it a chance you might be suprised. Unstead of going into it thinking 'oh, this is a teeny flick chick movie. It's not. While I admit that it is nowhere near as good as the book, it was a good movie. It had depth and imagination behind it.


I will also say though, that another movie that was quite good, and I forgot it till now, was "No Country For Old Men". It was very under rated just like "Twilight" was.

it wasnt a goth thing at all - which was one positive thing about it - it was more 90210 - which means it wasnt for me - but it was something i could take my kid to and he enjoyed it.

it was no where near as bad as i thought - it was geared more to 16 year old girls - but i didnt hate it.

I'd say best picture I've seen this year.

In fairness, though, we had a really damn good summer of blockbusters:
  • Iron Man
  • The Dark Knight
  • Hellboy II
  • WALL-E

We also had some decent horror with (favorites of mine are bold):
  • Cloverfield
  • [rec] (still haven't seen!)
  • Quarantine
  • Home Movie
  • Diary of the Dead
  • Inside (À l'intérieur)
  • Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
  • Let The Right One In (still haven't seen!)
  • Midnight Meat Train
  • My Name Is Bruce (still haven't seen!)
  • Repo! The Genetic Opera (still haven't seen!)
  • Shrooms
  • The Signal
  • The Strangers
  • Teeth
  • Feast II: Sloppy Seconds
  • Tokyo Gore Police
  • Dance of the Dead
  • Otis

(Some of these movies were made in 2007, but according to about.com, they were actually released in 2008)
How WAS Quarantine btw?? I love, love, love zombie flicks... so I was all on it.. just never got the chance to see it...

i just found out where this came from ..

very distorted and taken out of context.


in the 3rd book - the indian-werewolves describe how they find their mates by 'imprinting' - when they meet their mate - they just know.

unfortunately one werewolf met his - but she was 2 years old ... so he has to wait 20 years.

no vampires, no sexual claims.


as far as these books go - the 1st one wasnt bad.

then they turned to complete shit. real girly-girl romances and once again the vampire VS werewolf bullshit.

any origionality in the 1st book was thrown out the window after that.
