The twilight craze.

The Twilight movie is what you get when you turn Underworld into a chick flick.

Yikes. And of course, also mix the worst stuff of Blade 2 into it.

Most male depictions in such stories like Twilight are so much diluted, that you could place a girl into the same place and let the story be a honest lesbian romance - you would not have to change a single aspect of the plot. :lol:

Heh, at that point though, the book's (and movie's) audience would've been reversed--every single teenage male (and many non-teenage) would've read it, and nowhere near as many females would have.

Kids are stupid and dumbed down. They don't read the classics and watch too much TV. They are a doomed generation. They will reap what they sow. Twilight is garbage pure and simple.

A doomed generation? Perhaps that was said in the 70s of that generation?

They don't read the classics and watch too much TV.

TV is bad but "classics" are not? Just because you may like a certain form of media does not mean that it is better then another.

That does not stop most television nowdays from being utterly moronic though.

Twilight is garbage pure and simple.

That it is.

To you. there are things that I know you like that I'd find crap.

Underworld is a chick flick. With guns. At heart it's a love story, but you need some gunplay and explosions to draw our guys along.

So how far off was South Park's characterization?

As you don't know me garyw how can you be sure?

 

[garyw]

I know people, that's enough.

I still don't get why it took him so long to die at the end.

I would say it was pretty accurate, although most people are more obsessed than was shown.

I hardly ever watch TV, and most of the books I've read in the last year were written from 1940-1977. Does that make me not doomed?

Thing that upsets me, is that twilight is outplacing in the fan view of classics such as Lord of the Rings and the Old Star Wars movies. Its insane in schools, but I HOPE it will die down. I had to endure the whole movie before because I had to go see the movies and only thing that might have been interesting was the Twilight movie, I should have walked out at the very beginning but that would have been a waste of a good 10 dollars.

 

[atuhalpa]

Yes willy88, you are not doomed!

Your generation's parents said the same thing about Elvis.

Twilight is only popular because it's written at about a 4th grade reading level and is stuffed with cliches that have a track record of selling well to 14-year-old girls, who statistically are the stupidest people on the planet.

... Save for 14-year old boys.

 

[Pilot7893]

Hey, wait a minute! I'M a 14 year old boy!

 

[Ghostrider]

Hey, wait a minute! I'M a 14 year old boy!

You'll get better with time.

It seems pretty risky for me to be in this topic on a school computer in the library. It's only a matter of time before a Twilight fangirl sees what the discussion is about and whacks me on the back of the *ow*
