Message to all Twitards

I thought you was talking about Twitter.

too soon man. We already had a twilight bashing thread a few days ago.....but yes twilight sucks.

[quote name='dudeonline' post='2575304' date='Feb 3 2010, 08:30 AM']Normally I don't participate in "anti" anything these days, but something needs to be done about these Twitards. I really have no problem with the books/movies themselves (besides the fact that I wouldn't read/watch them if they were the last books/movies on earth).

A friend of mine came to me nearly in tears. His girlfriend of three years dumped him because he wouldn't be more like Edward from the Twilight books. Can you tell me whats wrong with this picture? He was dumped because he doesn't have fangs, doesn't sparkle in the sun like a Bedazzled kit gone wrong, and doesn't have the emotional depth of a lamp post.

This needs to stop and it needs to stop now. People compare Twilight to Harry Potter. These people need to be slapped. Harry Potter NEVER had this many people gushing over a main character, or so many god awful T-shirts. I go to cafe press, and all I see are Twilight shirts. enough is enough people! At the very least Harry Potter was written beautifully. Twilight is just angsty, pre-pubescent drivel.

1. "Edward" (Robert Pattison) Has been on record to say that he regrets doing the movies. He doesn't like you, he doesn't want you. In fact, he loathes you. Get real.

2. No one would ask you to be more like Rei Ayanami from Evangelion, so don't ask anyone to be like Edward Cullen. got it? good.

3. Not only does ol' Robby hate you, but almost everyone around you is getting sick and tired of hearing about "team edward" or "team jacob". Look, the series is done. you read the books. you know who wins, pack it up and go home.

4. If you are 25+, you really should not be gushing over this crap. You are 25+ meaning that you most likely have read MANY better books than the crap Stephanie Meyer farts out. If you have not, I recommend Anne Rice's books (Vampire Lestat, Memnoch The Devil, Interview with a Vampire, etc...). Those are real fucking vampires. They don't sparkle, they burn in sunlight, and they will fuck your shit up at night.

5. And last, but not least, if you don't think what I say is true, ask anyone who doesn't read Twilight and youll get pretty much the same attitude. We are sick and tired of you. Twilight is like Herpes of the literary world.[/quote]

1) Agreed - the movies were about eye-candy and falling in love with a stalker. Not a decent relationship, to say the least.

2) See, I love me some silly anime (love Rei and Lisa/Risa from Fullmetal Alchemist). Would I date someone who's like both of them? No, because they don't exist - anime is an exaggeration of character traits.

3) ....nothing...the worst part is, one of my friends owns a tee shirt that says Team Malfoy. Please leave Harry Potter out of this.

4) My best friend (who's my age; that is, 26 years old) loves this series. She tried to get me to read it, and it's terrible pacing, paper thin characters made me go..."huh? where did your literary taste go?" I loved Anne Rice and even that other author (with the sexytimes vampire/werewolf coven) was slightly better than this piece of fresh shit that Twilight is.

5) Yes. Twilight is an std on books, it gets passed around like a girl at an orgy.

You might want to read this. One woman's adventures through Twilight. A review / reading journal following her as she struggles her way through the glittery bog that is the Twilight series.


Paraphrased and summarized here:

Twilight: the Twinkie of girly literature. It's really not good, and it's actually bad for you, but sometimes you get mushy cravings and Twilight hits the spot and hits it hard. A guilty pleasure.

New Moon: This isn't fun any more, it's getting tedious and stupid. The Twinky got stale.

Eclipse: What the fuck this is just stupid I wanna punch the characters in the face.

Breaking Dawn: What the fuck am I reading OMG you have to see this I swear I'm not making any of this up this is just awful I want to punch myself in the brain for reading this.

But my crude summary lacks the wit and the funny of the original text. You really should see for yourself.

Come on, aren't we done with this shit yet? The bitching about Twilight fans is almost as annoying as the fans themselves now.

it's my blog. fuck off. k?

twitard...

Anne Rice made me cry once.
I was eight when I read Interview with the Vampire.
True story.

I guess i should consider myself lucky. I never watched any episodes or movies or whatever of this Twilight stuff, nor did it ever seem even remotely interesting to me. So I know nothing of the hate or love for this show. What little I do know of it comes from snippets I caught in commercials and everyone talking about it online....which was enough to know I wouldn't care for it.

My girl friends love this stuff, want to watch New Moon to see how shite it is

My wife sadly made me watch Twilight, but fortunately, thats the last we have both seen of the series. The whole time I watched the movie I was saying to myself "it gets better...right?" but it never did...it never did.

Kind of off-topic, but for some reason I thought this was about people who use Twitter.

If she's really that stupid then this is actually a good thing for him. I kind of pity her. These books have destroyed her ability to be happy with a relationship.

Uh Oh My God Edward Cullen is SOOOOOOOOOOOO dreamy!
