twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.

[appleofmyeye]

Don't worry, I'm still obsessed with the actors. Sigh... well it's a step.

[dj4ever]

It's okay, at least they are real.

[Rouge]

. . . So I heard on the radio this morning that a woman walked up to Rob Pattinson and asked him to bite her infant's head.

What a weirdo. O_o

[dj4ever]

That can't have been good for that child...

[Zombified]

Sixteen years later...

"You asked that hack actor to BITE my head?"
"Yes, I did."
"What the fuck, mom?"
"Watch your mouth, John!"
"Watch my mouth? Watch my mouth? You wanted a stupid actor from a stupid movie sixteen years ago bite my head! Were you watching your mouth back then, mom?"
"Your grounded!"

Ahem....

[Rouge]

I don't think he did it, xD He's too afraid of the spotlight as it is.

He probably ran. :P

[appleofmyeye]

. . . So I heard on the radio this morning that a woman walked up to Rob Pattinson and asked him to bite her infant's head.

What a weirdo. O_o

Oh, that was a while ago. I saw the picture. Here...

^It's Nikki Reed holding the baby btw.

That isn't nearly as bad as him biting Tyra *shudders*. She was confusing the poor guy! Her own fault...

[Ichigo]

I just got back from the twilight movie.
I thought it was pretty good.
Really good actually.

[appleofmyeye]

I think it was better than the book.

[Lizzie]

I have met Robert Patterson! And he gave me a kiss on the cheek and a hug! I have a picture and an autograph to prove it. It says my name on it.

[appleofmyeye]

...

FUCK YOU!

I'm not even joking. I'm seriously pissed.

[jordanisonfire]

Robert Patterson is horrible. Give me an asian dude and I'll be happy. xD

[appleofmyeye]

...

What?

*goes of to cry in emo corner*

But seriously, y'all have probably not seen his interviews. I love his personality more than his looks. And Shad, why an Asian guy?

[dj4ever]

I
am
so
jealous
of
lizzie
arg

[appleofmyeye]

Me
Too
I
Will
Go
To
Her
House
And
Steal
The
Autograph.
To
Bad
I
Can't
Steal
The
Kiss!

[jordanisonfire]

And Shad, why an Asian guy?

Cos asian guys are better looking than that Patterson pretty boy, maybe? xP

[appleofmyeye]

Some can be but I still love Robert Pattinson. Y'all don't get it, he looks okay but his personality makes him amazing.

BTW he hates Twilight and thinks the fangirls are mindless drones. Not that he can say that but you can kinda pick up on it.

[Rouge]

Cos asian guys are better looking than that Patterson pretty boy, maybe? xP


Asian guys are amazing. I agree with Shad here. ^^

[appleofmyeye]

LALALA I can't hear you!

Okay, but I kinda agree that some Asian guys are cute. But... he's so adorable!

[jordanisonfire]

...adorable? He's... yeurgh. He was a pretty boy in HP and now he's playing the pretty boy Cullen? Kinda speaks for itself.

[Pibs]

Heheheh, with all this "asian guy" stuff, my random thought was... "Well then, Shadow can go see the movie for Eric then." :D

Honestly though... Jasper is the amazing one!

[dj4ever]

GOd
Jasper
is
SO
FTW

[Rouge]

And this is why Stephenie Meyer is making millions of dollars.

Really people, they don't exist and honestly, I don't think we'll ever get to meet them.
Good luck.

Read more literature folks. ^^

[appleofmyeye]

Heheheh, with all this "asian guy" stuff, my random thought was... "Well then, Shadow can go see the movie for Eric then." :D

Honestly though... Jasper is the amazing one!

That's what I was thinking too! I <3 the guy playing Eric.

And, believe me, Rob isn't a pretty boy. Sure, he plays those characters in TWO movies. In The Bad Mother's Handbook and Little Ashes he definitely isn't pretty boy. And in real life he isn't a pretty boy.

Case and point.

[blue phoenix]

LOL!!!!!!
Wow he looks really stupid in that pix that's funny. I will remember that forever.

[appleofmyeye]

And that's why I love him :love:.

[jordanisonfire]

Smoke pot much?
Can't really say that, though, as that'll be me in about five years. ^L^

[appleofmyeye]

Naw he's just drunk, not high. I mean, you can't really smoke pot in public.

BTW how old are you Shad?

[jordanisonfire]

I'm 15, 16 in February.

[Simmi]

Wow he looks... weird, he has like a lazy eye and his smile is all 'I'm trying to be badass' Well not badass maybe more on the lines of retardedly gay.

[jordanisonfire]

...nah, he's just drunk/stoned. He probably didn't even know the picture was being taken. If you girls are "in love" with a drunk, then I feel sorry for you.

[Simmi]

I think Robert is ugly as a cow's butt. I don't know what these Twilight fans see in him.

[appleofmyeye]

Just so y'all know I became a fan of Twilight because Rob's in the movie. I can't make you love him but he has the best personality :).

[dj4ever]

But you liked twilight before the movie came out...

[Rouge]

Eh, I have friends with better personalities.
And they're real. ^^

[dj4ever]

Robert Pattinson is real...

[Rouge]

Yeah, like I'll ever meet him.

And, I don't really care to either. :P

[dj4ever]

Yeah really.
I would just like meeting him because it'd be something to talk about. A cool experience

[Rouge]

Blah, whatever. xP

I only have respect for certain actors and singers. Not a lot either.
-shrugs- They're people like everyone else. Seriously, I don't see why it'd be such a big deal to meet someone, though if it were one of the few that I really like it would be.
Still, they're human. Even Rob is. :P

[dj4ever]

Yes obviously. Most people like celebrities they can relate with. Not random ones that act like they are better than everyone. At least, for me, i like celebs that are real.

[Simmi]

I was reading an interview cause my friend and I were arguing that Rob is ugly. So I googled how he always got his hair sticking up and I found an interview where he answered that and he gets it like that by 'stressing out so I'm always pulling on my hair, I hate having hair in my face.' I found that creepy and funny. His poor not-so-great hair.

[Rouge]

It's Ryan

Matt

http://gi275.photobucket.com/groups/jj309/3XVRBGDWVO/Edward_Norton_Painted_Veil_5.jpg
And Edward for me. ^^



Screw this guy:
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii31/vicwhoreiuhh22/rob_pattinson_faves1.jpg

[jordanisonfire]

Haha, too true, Adri. ^^

Don't like the other two guys, but Ryan is very good-looking. :cool:

[Rouge]

Haha, too true, Adri. ^^

Don't like the other two guys, but Ryan is very good-looking. :cool:

Aw, I like Matt cause he plays piano so VERY well and I want to be like him.
And Edward Norton is just. . . an amazing actor.

Ryan's just plain cute and he whoops Brendon's ass at singing. ^^


But Rob Pattinson? He's just a stupid vampire in a stupid movie.

[jordanisonfire]

His hair looks like a drunken attempt at Elvis style hair. :laugh:

[dj4ever]

Hahahahhaa.
Tru dat

[Crocolyle]

I just started reading this the other day. I'm about halfway through.

It's okay. I don't think it's a particularly good book, but it's kept my interest. Sometimes it feels a bit contrived Yeah, in a small town in the early evening there are gangs of rapists standing on street corners. It's just unbelievable and unrealistic. Stuff like that happens very rarely. Rape, to my knowledge, only rarely occurs like that. Then, Deus ex Machina, Edward saves her... it's just annoying... and the writing in some places feels a little childish--like too many sentences of similar length all beginning with the word "I" and uncharacteristically large words juxtaposed with colloquialisms and slang in the narration. Also Bella is a bit of a stuck-up bitch I think... Other than that, it's interesting.

[Rouge]

-head/desk-

I can't believe you're reading it.

-cries-

[Crocolyle]

My friend told me to. And I have no spine.

[DefJam101]

A few days ago at school, this kid was talking about how he saw the movie with his girlfriend. He said he had read the books as well, but I didn't even want to go down that path. I ask him how the movie was, to which he responds: "It was pretty boring, but we hooked up afterwards."

*facepalm*

[Rouge]

@Crocolyle -- Oh, tu pauvre.

God. . you need to hit your friend upside the head. -_-

xD Twilight is a horrible book. The ending is even worse. xP

-is bitter-

@Def -- xDDDDDD LOLOLOLOLOLOL
-is done laughing-

:P

[Ichigo]

I think you will all appreciate this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQCFlXzKbM8
One of my friends showed me.

[Rouge]

I love your friend.
xD
ROFLMAO

[DefJam101]

http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/7/74/TwilightSucks.jpg

[jordanisonfire]

I didn't get the last panel - must be something you can only get if you read the thing - but the rest I could understand, I always saw Bella as a bitch and Cullen as a Goth girl's greatest fantasy.

[Simmi]

I think the girl was reading the book and then got creeped out and burned it

[Majyk]

I've seen this before. Like Shadow, I don't get the last one, though.

[Rouge]

Yeah, I've seen that before too.
It's what Simmi said; a girl was reading it, got creeped, burned it, and the pain of reading it still didn't go away.
xD

[jordanisonfire]

Aha, I see. I suppose I can relate, I'd feel the same way if I read it.

XD

[Crocolyle]

I would burn mine, but I ran out of matches and lighter fluid. I used it all up on Eragon...

Damn my weak spine! And the book's strong one (haha?)!

[jordanisonfire]

If its in hardcover, then perhaps, Lyle.

XD

[DefJam101]

I remember when readers were actually sending back their copies of book 4 to the publisher. That was pretty hilarious. :D

[jordanisonfire]

Hah, did their little fantasies of the next book not come to fruition?

Foolish Twilight fans!

[appleofmyeye]

I didn't send it back... but it isn't allowed to be next to the other 3. It doesn't play by the rules :cool:.

[Rouge]

I remember when readers were actually sending back their copies of book 4 to the publisher. That was pretty hilarious. :D


I sold all four of mine back for twelve dollars. :cool:

[Eilidh]

Yay finally got it,
i read the first one and i thought it was great, i read it in one day ^^, i found it really hard to stop :P
And you could say its aimed at teenage girls but, i know a couple of boys that read it and liked it so y'know.
And i just seen Nyx's post at like.. the start, so I LOVE JASPER TOO :)

[Rouge]

Ugh. . . burn them while you can. They're not worth the time.

[Eilidh]

Ugh. . . burn them while you can. They're not worth the time.
I really loved the first one, and i know people that have the same reading taste as me who have read and liked all of them.
I suppose its personal taste, ^^

[appleofmyeye]

We all liked the first book a little. C'mon. It's when Bella got all skankarific that the series REALLY got bad.

[Eilidh]

Hmm, i'mma read the rest of them anyway :P
But seriously guys, why come on this thread to slag off twilight?
If you don't like it then simply avoid everything that may have something to do with it, simple :)

[Rouge]

Because.

There's no better place to relay my feelings.

I can discuss it here if I want considering it is a Literary Discussion thread.

xP

[Eilidh]

Because.

There's no better place to relay my feelings.

I can discuss it here if I want considering it is a Literary Discussion thread.

xP
Oh, sorry i forgot it was in the literary dicussion, thought it was a review :P

[Lizzie]

Well, I enjoy the Twilight series. But the thing is, we all have different opinions and we are all different people. The reason her first book wasn't good is because she only wrote it to pay of her rent, when she relised it became a huge sucess, she wrote more, that got better and better. If any of you want to be horrible about this, then fine, it is your own opinion, but no one tell anyone that their opinion is wrong. Tsuki's is right, its her opinion, she doesn't like the book so what.

[Sophie]

I tottaly agree with Lizzie. Although I didn't really like the series, I appriciate that she did.

[jordanisonfire]

If you don't like it then simply avoid everything that may have something to do with it, simple :)

Ugh, I hate it when people say that. No, it doesn't work like that. What you're basically saying is we should ignore what we hate and just put attention on what we love instead? Humans aren't like that. Having hate in our minds is part of who we are, we can't just ignore it. Also, you're saying that we shouldn't do anything about what we hate. So, what you're saying there is that I should ignore British politics because I hate Gordon Brown and should just ignore him and let him go on with what he's doing and not vote when I can. That's just one example.

[Eilidh]

Shadow i thought it was a review, and i would expect in a review that you post whether you read it and liked it, didnt like it or might read it, like once.
But it's in discussion so y'know, my bad.

[jordanisonfire]

Well, yeah, it is a discussion now. All the other Twilight threads have been closed due to them being trivial matters such as the "Werewolf Dude or Vampiric Prettyboy" debate (as you can see, I've edited the names to what they are in my mind).

[Rouge]

Lol, it only got worse from the first book.

BREAKING DAWN KILLED IT FOR ME.

:glare: If it got better, I wouldn't be a hater right now.

Twilight, the first one, was her best.

-my opinion.

[Eilidh]

Hmm, i'm gonna buy the rest of the series cause i know alot of people that like it, my friend already told me what happens in the end and everything, and i still want to read it.
And to that Jacob or Edward debate JASPER FTW.

[Rouge]

They all suck. xP

[Mechhead]

Well I for one like the story but I do argee that Bella is a little flat but Stephine Meyer never even thought about writing before these books so give her some credit.

[appleofmyeye]

I don't start thinking of a story before I start it. I'd have to be psychic then :P.

[Rouge]

Well I for one like the story but I do argee that Bella is a little flat but Stephine Meyer never even thought about writing before these books so give her some credit.

She shoulda redone it then.
Cause her writing sucks.

Sorry, I can't give her any credit. If she were suffering, you know, not getting paid at all, I may feel pity.
But she's filthy stinkin' rich. Forget giving her credit. xP
She made money off of pure crap.
Sorry, my opinion.

[Lizzie]

Again, fine. Don't you agree with me though? I don't like Manga that much, but people like Tsuki wont completly have a go at me for my opinion, although I will hide behind a rock just incase. :P. You do agree with me right?

[Mechhead]

No I mean in an interview she stated That she had a dream and had decided to write it down and it turned into a book series.

[Rouge]

I know.

Dude, I used to be a hardcore fan. xD I used to LOVE EDWARD.

Now I hate it cause the ending sucked. I know all about why she wrote it, I know everything. xP

And Lizzie, what are you talking about? :P

[appleofmyeye]

I get what Lizzie is saying kinda in a roundabout sorta way :P.

I was the most extreme, hardcore, cuddle-with-my-pillow-and-pretend-it-was-edward fangirl. Then I realized how much it sucked. And now I have better obsessions :love:.

[jordanisonfire]

No I mean in an interview she stated That she had a dream and had decided to write it down and it turned into a book series.

What, was she like Cullen's bitch and she was dreaming some weird vampire was banging her or something? Cos vampires are the undead, so that would count as necrophilia, in a twisted way, so she MUST have problems.

XD

[Rouge]

She dreamed the whole meadow scene and when she wrote it, she decided she wanted to write more.
Basically, she wrote around one dream. -_-

[Lizzie]

Basiclly I mean, no one can tell that your wrong for not liking something or liking it. Its total bullshit. I think the whole Twilight argument was a total waste of time because no one was respecting other peoples opinions...

[appleofmyeye]

I think we didn't pay attention to Mechhead because we've all heard it before. When a new person comes on and talks about Twilight it is the same song and dance. Not that it really matters. in ten years or so we won't even remember what Twilight is. It's just a craze. Like Heeleys and Livestrong bracelets.

[jordanisonfire]

She dreamed the whole meadow scene and when she wrote it, she decided she wanted to write more.
Basically, she wrote around one dream. -_-

Ah, I haven't read any of the crap-on-paper, so I don't know what the meadow scene is. XD

Yeah, it's just a fad. We will forget her in a few years, unless she continually keeps spewing out these atrocities. Unlike Tolkien, who was big in his time, and still is today.

[appleofmyeye]

The only thing I can give her credit for is that she knows how to milk a cow. Erm, not an actual cow. A cash cow :D.

[Eilidh]

My opinion:
I've only read the first one but I loved it, I've given it to other people who've loved it, even boys.
I also loved the film, and I can't find a fault in either apart from Kirsten Stewarts acting at one part when she goes
"What is going on" xD. So now I'm going to go read the rest of them, then I'll post my opinion on them but so far so good.

[Rouge]

My opinion has been expressed throughout.

And I have many reasons why.

[Lizzie]

I agree with Eilidh. I loved it then passed it around my group of friends(even on boy) and they loved it and demanded my other books. We all watched the film together then I watched it with two other friends the day after.

[appleofmyeye]

I agree on the not making more books. Twilight was the best one of the four, while The Host is her best book.

:D

Breaking Dawn just plain sucked. As did the movie. :D

[Polly]

I love you. :hug:

I just finished reading the Host, I thought it was great. I think I've said this before but I hope she doesn't make more! It'll turn into Twilight the second :P

I couldn't agree more. I really hope she doesn't; I liked the way it ended just fine.
I don't want her to ruin it for me like Twilight! :(

[Polly]

I know!
I might even send her an email pleading her not to, I'll pay her not to!

[appleofmyeye]

Shes a sellout so she probably will make another just for money. And we'll probably all buy it. At least her minions will.

[Polly]

Shes a sellout so she probably will make another just for money. And we'll probably all buy it. At least her minions will.

Being honest I'll probably buy it, and hope to god that it's good.
If it's bad then I officially hate her.

[Rouge]

Same here. xD

[Simmi]

Oh mi goodness. I dunno if you guys already know this but they're making twilight into... AN ANIME! To me that's just a disgrace to all anime... next thing you know they have a manga for it! Unless they already do :o

[Rouge]

. . . You've got to be kidding me.

[Simmi]

*reads description of video* Oh false alarm thank god. The video isn't real. phew..

[Rouge]

-sigh of relief-

That's great. Thank god they may stop the madness.

-_-

[Simmi]

But my friend says they're making it into a manga... I'm trying to find some truth of this by googling.

EDIT: Some yahoo answer! question stated that 'I already know they're making twilight into a manga but I want to know if they're making it into an anime' Which was answered with 'I wish! I would watch it everyday! It's said that they'll be releasing the english version of the manga in december (2008!)'

Here's something on photobucket I found of the possible twilight manga

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q287/punk_kya/Twilight%20Manga/4_7.jpg

Here's a 'Baka-Update' on manga for the twilight thing http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=24393

[appleofmyeye]

*runs to bathroom and barfs*

AH! I'm not even hardcore into anime and I'm disturbed. I'm speechless.

*EDIT*

I felt better after I realized 'Edward' was Light :). It's not real, just a bad dream...

[Rouge]

That's

fucking

ridiculous.

I'm pissed.

[Simmi]

I'm in total shock. It really is ridiculous it's beyond that even. It's like... I can't even describe it.

[Rouge]

It's ridiculous enough that it made me cuss, when I do all the time in reality. I just try to keep it to a minimum here in respect for the younger members.

I'm sorry, that's just plain, fucking, ridiculous shit.

[appleofmyeye]

Super Sarah to the rescue!

The Japanese version of Twilight (book, not series) is split into three shorter books. They have illustrations randomly in the book. I think it is one for every chapter. There is no manga!

*flies off*

[Simmi]

I so hope that you're right. Next thing you know they have a whole series of manga for the crappy twilight books.

[appleofmyeye]

I've never once been tempted to vandalize but if they begin to sell a Twilight manga, I might make an exception.

[Simmi]

lol I would vandalize Stephanie Meyer's house if I could but I think that'd lower my chances of getting into medical school..

I would if I could but I can't.

[appleofmyeye]

Anyone here live in Phoenix :P?

[Lizzie]

My friend does. ;) She says its rainy, bit like its described in the book.

[ScottyMcGee]

I had hopes of the book and the series, but then somewhere in the midst of the first book I just put it down and figured, "Eh, that's enough of that. Whatever."

Every time I see girls fawning over the Twilight section at the bookstore, a little faith in humanity dies inside me.

Vampires vs. werewolves is the most annoying cliche I've ever come across in my life. And adapting it to the teenage world is just stupid. It wasn't really a "breakthrough" in anything, unlike Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

But I want to read "The Host." :D

Sometimes I think the Twilight series was just a cliche way to start off Meyer's acknowledgment, then the Host was the start of the real literature.

[appleofmyeye]

Every time I see girls fawning over the Twilight section at the bookstore, a little faith in humanity dies inside me.

That is quote worthy. A la, quoted.

[Pibs]

Seconded, apple. Scotty = brilliance. :D

[Rouge]

But I want to read "The Host." :D


D: READ IT.

It's so good! Hard to get into, but so good.

-points to The Host's thread- Go look at mine, Ichi's and Nyxie's fangirl-ness. :P

[electrilad]

The things that made me drop twilight are as follows:

1. Everything goes RIGHT for Bella. Socially right. No matter how much she screws up, everyone loves her. She makes out with Jacob, Edward's like "Whatever makes you happy". The vampires love her and would do anything to protect her, as with the werewolves.
Where's the plot in that? Most stories have SOME point where the lead is disliked!

2. Edward's a creepy guy. Like, under his 'gorgeousness' (in the movie he looks sweaty), he's this obsessive, abusive, weird boyfriend. But Bella worships him, which is a bad message: He's beautiful, so he's good. Even though he's been stalking me at night.

3. The Cullen's wealth. She gets an amazing wedding, her own house for sex, beautiful clothes- where's the catch? She's just constantely showered with gifts. It makes. No sense.

4. There. Is. No. Plot.

But I guess the reason most girls love it is that they can pretend everything in their life is perfect LaDiDa. But why'd Stephanie Meyer have to make a vampire/werewolf/vamp mafia war that barely had any effect that she couldn't finish? Seriously, in the last book, there should have been an epic battle, but instead there's this mind-confrontation and then the Volturi leave. Makes no sense.

2. Edward's a creepy guy. Like, under his 'gorgeousness' (in the movie he looks sweaty), he's this obsessive, abusive, weird boyfriend. But Bella worships him, which is a bad message: He's beautiful, so he's good. Even though he's been stalking me at night.

3. The Cullen's wealth. She gets an amazing wedding, her own house for sex, beautiful clothes- where's the catch? She's just constantely showered with gifts. It makes. No sense.

4. There. Is. No. Plot.

But I guess the reason most girls love it is that they can pretend everything in their life is perfect LaDiDa. But why'd Stephanie Meyer have to make a vampire/werewolf/vamp mafia war that barely had any effect that she couldn't finish? Seriously, in the last book, there should have been an epic battle, but instead there's this mind-confrontation and then the Volturi leave. Makes no sense.

:mellow:
Are you like my clone or something?

xD Those are my exact reasons.

[Majyk]

Almost every time I read this thread, it makes me see I was right for not reading the last two books.

I'm tellin' ya! According to my theory, she wrote something that would flock attention, mainly young adults. It was all bullshit really; I don't think she cared about it that much. Then with "The Host" she started to write seriously with plot and such.

The sad thing is, she wanted Twilight to be in the adult section. :huh:

[appleofmyeye]

She comes across as a very desperate woman injecting her fantasies into books that don't even appeal to adults, but thirteen year old girls.

Yeah, I've thought that for a while. I mean, there's no other explanation as to why twilight sucks lit wise and the Host is pretty damn good.

[appleofmyeye]

I hate when people say this and then little Twilight fans say "But she DREAMED it! I heard it in an interview." because that may be true, I mean she isn't creative enough to come up with much on her own, but it doesn't excuse her for writing trash.

[Diocletian]

But why'd Stephanie Meyer have to make a vampire/werewolf/vamp mafia war that barely had any effect that she couldn't finish?

Because it works.

I agree with the part about her just writing cliches because that's what people want, but I'm not sure about The Host. Apparently, its much different to Twilight, so I may read it sometime, not likely, though. I can't really give opinions on it, seeing as I've never read it.

[appleofmyeye]

I read one third then got bored...

[Rouge]

I read one third then got bored...

It does take a bit to get into it, and that's one of its biggest flaws. >.< But, once you get past that, it's. . .:love:

[appleofmyeye]

I know lots of guys who like it. One guy, he's reading Eclipse, and I went up to him and whispered "Bella's a hoebag." He said he knows, it's his third time reading it :P.

[Fiction]

I think you should be reading this thread if you haven't yet read Twilight. It might help you to understand the books more and you can get an opinion.
Although I respect everyone's tastes and opininons, I find Bella very flat and Edward creepy. Jacob was cool and believable. Billy Black reminds me of Geronimo.
Some people might say the books are terrible, and hate sites are sprouting EVERYWHERE. There are also lots of fangirls willing to spend big $ on the books, and that's fine. My friend was so utterly obsessed by the books that she spent almost all her free periods reading Breaking Dawn. If you're obsessed, that's good. Your opinion is valid, just as mine is, and everyone else's.
Happy Reading!!

. . . xD Being obsessed with anything isn't good. xDDDDDDD
Obsession is bad.

This is, however, my opinion. x3

[appleofmyeye]

Obsession is fun. They change constantly so it doesn't really matter.

[Simmi]

Unless you're so obsessed about something you become stalkerish. THEN it's a problem.

[Fiction]

Thats what I meant, if you're obsessed with that clone of robert pattinson in your class and you stalk him, watch him eat and draw you chained to him, then your "relationship" is bad. LOL

[Ichigo]

If you're obsessed with hating it, then you have a problem. My friend hates it so much, but she googles it daily. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SHE DOES THIS. She comes to school everyday and says HEY GUESS WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH TWILIGHT???!!! And she's so glaringly negative about it, it makes me want to flick her in the nose!
She knows things, stuff that should be impossible to find out. It's creepy and I'm scared!!!

She is so biased that she can't even enjoy the Host! And she keeps on saying that she's trying not to be biased but she can't help it! I might actually KICK HER! It's driving me crazy how narrow minded she is.

The stupidest thing is that she started off loving it. And in the same creepy way that she hates it. She ruined it for herself, by looking it up on the internet and finding all these hate sites. She knows next to nothing about writing, and still she criticizes EVERYTHING, down to the last detail. I don't think she realizes how very stupid it makes her look when she hates something with such a burning passion...

That's my rant of the day, because I could never tell her this....

[DefJam101]

Just by looking at the story summary of The Host I fail to see how it is any less generic than Twilight. Unless her writing style has improved substantially, then what could non-Twilight fans possibly gain by reading this?

How many times has the 'body snatchers' story been done, now? 15? 20 times?

[Ichigo]

Her writing has changed. Loads. I wasn't even sure if it was the same person writing the Host as Twilight.

[Bowie20049]

Most likely it wasn't *snickers.

[Rouge]

<3 The Host.

Bowie, you make me laugh. ^^
Did you know that you can by a necktie that Alice wore in the movie?
It's kinda pretty, too. Though, I wouldn't wear it because it probably has SMeyer somewhere on it. -_-

[DefJam101]

I read an excerpt from the book online. Aside from a few utterly horrible sentences, The Host is very readable when compared to Twilight.

It still feels juvenile. Like a fanfiction, almost. If that is your thing then go for it.

[Majyk]

(I know this is the Twilight thread, but...) When reading the Host, I didn't realize it was supposed to be an adult novel. :p

Most likely it wasn't *snickers.

Hah ha.

[Bowie20049]

You got to hand it to Smeyer though. She culturally united thousands of females along with hundreds of questionable males together under one feti *cough banner I meant.

[jordanisonfire]

Hitler united Germany to stand against the Allied Powers under a fascist rule. Would you say that was a good thing? ;)

[Bowie20049]

At first it was :)

[Rouge]

Hitler united Germany to stand against the Allied Powers under a fascist rule. Would you say that was a good thing? ;)

:O Could Meyer become the next Hitler and burn everyone who's not in love with Edward and who isn't Mormon?

. . .Nah, she's too stupid.

[Bowie20049]

She must at least realize the power she has! If she ran for prez she could have the majority of the women votes and some questionable males!

[jordanisonfire]

Despite her vast popularity in the book world, not that many people know who she is. If she ran for president, most people would be thinking, "Who the hell is this person?"

[Rouge]

She must at least realize the power she has! If she ran for prez she could have the majority of the women votes and some questionable males!

Most of her voters would be underage. Then there'd be this massive amount of eleven-year old girls trying to get into the polls.

Right.
I was prepared to start a new thread but I thought I'd cut the Twilight spam.
Seriously guys I know some of us dislike the book/series whatever... myself included.
But theres alot of people who like it and looking through posts, topics, even a group its getting pretty harsh.
I mean most of us got put off by the last one, two, three books... and from what I've seen the first one "Twilight" well people have had much of a problem with it other than its cliche. So saying "Twilight : Epic Fail" shouldn't it be maybe "New Moon: Epic Fail" if thats the one that put you off, with Eclipse etc etc aswell.
Because I'd be upset if people were saying my favourite book "epic failed" I'm not saying I liked the series, but if someone said my favourite book was basically, excuse my language, shit. Then I'd be hurt, wouldnt you? I think its acceptable to say if you like it or if you don't, and why you dont, but its getting blowed out of proportion in my eyes and its unfair on people who actually like the series/book.
I'm not saying you can't post your opinions, but don't really rip into it... consider other peoples feelings.

Anyway guys I'M BACK :D

Yes, we should all be mindful of other people's opinions. However, people getting upset over it is their problem. It's good to get tough skin. If they don't know by now that not everyone is going to agree with them, then they better learn quick.

But again, I understand what you're saying. I got a little pissed the other night when SMeyer insulted Wuthering Heights, a classic by Emily Bronte. For the most part, I was irritated that she had such a bit ego, but that's just me, I suppose.

[appleofmyeye]

Der is a club fer da haterz :devious:.

^ Indeed. Perhaps we should take our negative comments there so no one else is offended?

[appleofmyeye]

Hellz ya!

[Carraka]

Meyer insulted Wuthering Heights? What the ... why? Where?

And I was depressed for two hours when Shadow insulted GRRM. But I'm not going to censor him. I'm just going to debate heatedly with him until I get him to give it another chance. Because I totally understand how someone can not like that book if they don't finish the prologue. It's harder for me to understand it if they give up in the middle.

Glance around the forum posts here:

Apparently she has questions such as:

"Why is Edward right about Wuthering Heights sucking?"

"Why does this book that sucks so heartily stay with us for so long?"

[Carraka]

I am disturbed.

I have never read Wuthering Heights, but now I know that I must! Soon! It will be read within the next two weeks.

[Ichigo]

I have Wuthering Heights, I'm not finished it yet though.
It's really good so far.

I own it and it was one of my favorite books one or two years ago. If I reread it, I bet I'd fall in love with it again.

It's definitely a good read. =)

Well it wasn't that I was bored but I had to finish Death Dote and then I bought more manga and needed to read for school so I forgot about it till I found it in my closet today and so I might read it!

I need to go. My mom hasn't figured out I'm up still.

Might.

[Simmi]

Do you know how they have those ads that say '(insert celebrity name here) has an IQ of -some number- take this test to see yours!' Well when I was on FF.net there was one that said 'Rob -insert his last name here- has an IQ of 119 take the test to see if you can beat his!'

Now. If his IQ is really 119 at the age he is... then I was as smart as him when I was in 3rd grade... I wonder if those IQ things are really true. But I highly doubt it.

[appleofmyeye]

Nope, it said Kristen Stewart was 101. I kinda doubt that :P.

Hey, you know what I figured out? I think Smeyer likes Shojo manga. I mean, there's a typical girl who falls in love with the perfect guy but they are from different worlds. Then the love triangle with two opposites? It makes sense...

[Simmi]

Or she's just on crack.

But yeah that might be a possiblity. She might've been reading Vampire Knight or something then dreamnt about it and said 'Oh I'm like so totally writing this down'. And yeah... well shit happens.

[Rouge]

I think she read Blood and Chocolate and The Silver Kiss.
>.> There were so many similarities, and those above came out years ago.
Oh, and they were better, though Blood and Chocolate wasn't my favorite. The protagonist made me gag.

[Simmi]

My teach wanted me to read B&C but I decided I had had enough of the vampireness. I might read it though...

[Mercy]

Isn't Blood and Chocolate about werewolves?

[Rouge]

Yeah, it's about werewolves.

The Silver Kiss is about vampires, but it's different, it's good. Real good.
Better than Blood and Chocolate.

[Mercy]

I watched the B&C movie and was so bored, I didn't even think about reading the book.
I probably won't read any modern vampire novels for a while though...considering most of them are like Twilight. =/

[Simmi]

Meh then my teacher can't understand anything then. Cause she read the book and even watched the movie. She said it was about vampires -.-

[Mercy]

There was no mention of vampires what-so-ever. o.O

[Simmi]

Wtf.. seriously? Cause she said it was all about vampires and werewolves.

[Mercy]

Nope. As far as I know, it was only werewolves.

[Rouge]

It is only werewolves. She may have read The Silver Kiss, which is by the same author whose name escapes me at the moment, that has vamps in it.

[Simmi]

Er.. I clearly recall her wanting me to read blood and chocolate cause she also made my other friend read it too. Stupid teacher...

[Eilidh]

Sorry if I'm "bumping" this topic, but I just read the other two books (New Moon, and Eclipse) so I thought I'd post my feelings on them ^^.
New Moon:
Personally this was a real disapointment. I sat absolutely bored through most of the book, the big twist in the book that Jacob's a werewolf didn't even surprise me or anything. It was just freaking boring. I thought that Bella's clumsines was pushed to the limit a bit, and that irritated me. The fact that Stephenie did the same to Alice's character annoyed me aswell... The book picked up a tiny bit when Alice came back but it was still boring, actually the first time I read it I skipped loads of bits. So yeah it wasn't a good sequel at all.

Eclipse:
This was alot better, I enjoyed it more than New Moon, alot more. I did still think that she over exagerated a few characters but it still was a good book, but Jacob really got on my nerves in this book. I was annoyed at Edward at being all okay about Jacob kissing Bella, then still being okay about Bella kissing Jacob. I still enjoyed it, but it dragged on sometimes.

[appleofmyeye]

It didn't bother you Bella's a hoebag?

[Eilidh]

It didn't bother you Bella's a hoebag?
It did, really. When she made out with Jacob in Eclipse I was like "WHAT THE HELL, YOU FRIGGIN' IDIOT" argh, I mean what a skank,

[Rouge]

It didn't bother you Bella's a hoebag?

Let's not get into another argument on Bella in this thread. This thread has enough posts as it is. If you have a problem with it, then take it to the Basher's Club.
Please.

[appleofmyeye]

Okay, okay. Just an honest question, that bit made me angry when I read it *shrug*.

[Phyx]

Aaaand here's my opinion.

Fuck Twilight.

I second the above.

As I have done many times before.

We passed the moment of time when all the plausable things of the book have been discussed. It's now a useless, and debatable for prospect, thread.

Fuck Twilight.

Woops, that slipped out.

[Original_x]

Okay, I know that alot of people on here aren't fans of the twilight series, but I must say, I love it - and everyone i've recommended it to has also loved it.

You can engage with the characters and that is something in a story that I love. Plus I really enjoy Stephenie Meyer's writing style - she is very to the point with her storytelling - but she can also create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you want to be/or are standing right there watching everything as it happens. (I'm not one for experiencing things through the characters eyes - I like to be on the outside looking in when i visualize a book). I can understand how some people who haven't been engaged by the book, can say that Bella is pretty bland - but that isn't actually the case. She is simply a very needy person - that is part of her character, she can be independent in herself (washing, doing schoolwork, taking care of her parents), but emotionally, she needs someone to rely on - this is where Edward comes in. Now I must say... The Cullens - I wish they were my family to be honest. I would really like to see much more of the The Cullens as a family rather than just Edward & Bella because I feel extremely engaged with each separate character of The Cullens much more than with Bella. The fact is, Bella as a character is SUPPOSED to be that way - it's what makes the story - she NEEDS Edward, not just for love, but for herself. She always thought she was plain and uninteresting - she has a low self-esteem and craves Edwards attention to make her feel better about herself. Some people can't engage with characters with personalities such as this, I however am different. I loved the twilight saga - I think its a fabulous series and I wish she would write more because I MISS MY CULLENS !

Each book is very moving and keeps you gripped from start to finish =]

[OynxFire]

Seriously? Twilight is a pathetic excuse for a book. Only my opinion.
1. Isn't there other words besides Godlike, dazzling, topaz, and icy. I mean the repetition was what really bothered me.
2. The whole book is totally cliche. For example: Best freind falls in love with best freind = overused.
3. Edward is always perfect and always a gentleman. Always. No on is perfect. Give him a flaw!
4. The ending is way too happy. I'm not saying she should kill off everyone, but c'mon. Everyone lives happily ever after? That's not how it works.
5. How can an undead creature get someone pregnant? It's impossible.
6. Sparkly vampires. Yes, that sounds like he's really dangerous.
7. I know werewolves and vampires are really cool, but have a little human interaction. Throughout the story Meyer makes it sound like Bella is so mature and so beyond all the other humans. No. I never saw that. Ever. At least put in some human interaction.

I think that's it for now. Those are really just my main points. Twilight really isn't that good a book. I know plenty of authors who deserve so much more publicity than Meyer. Most people only like it because of Edward. They go totally ga-ga over him. It's ridiculous and it dosen't make Twilight a good book.

[Caesar James]

Alright, so this is how I view Stephanie Meyer's literature.

I think that she is very talented when it comes to putting words together to form a [B]beautiful[B] sentence, but, the woman can't come up with a plot for her life. I think her works are rather...Lacking(to put it nicely) in that department and I have to say, the only reason I continued to read them was because of how talented the lady was at making a lovely sentence.

Her plots are dry, are remind me of a twelve year olds romance fantasies, just with prettier words.

Talented at composing prose; Unskilled at composing stories.

^^ Really? And to think I thought the Twifags would come beat me, rape me, and shoot me for telling the truth! Nice to know someone feels the same. (:

Also, James, how does Meyer make a 'beautiful' sentence? I thought the writing totally sucked. She repeated every other word and when I read it the sentences just fell flat. They were dull and they lacked the real luster a good sentence needs.

[Rouge]

^^ Really? And to think I thought the Twifags would come beat me, rape me, and shoot me for telling the truth! Nice to know someone feels the same. (:

The majority of the people on this site hate Twilight. The majority being the members who actually like good writing. :D :D :D

[ReccyV]

Fuck, the woman did what she needed to make money.
She captured an audience and spoon-fed them what they craved.
Is the book the best? No.
Is it even that god? No.
But, c'mon, let's be honest, half the people who criticize her write a helluva lot worse than she does.

Back when it first came out, I liked it, when I re-read it a year later, after reading decent literature, I realized how bland the plot and characters are. It's cliche and trite but it sold million's and the woman clearly did something right.

[Fiction]

It's spurred millions of brainless girls into reading, and perhaps seeing the light of better literature. Now that's a good thing.

[Jack]

I honestly couldn't care either way. The woman wrote a series of very successful books, no they aren't good. If it were me, I would rather do something good and respectable and make nothing a tall, than write a series like Twilight and make money. But to be honest, I think people should just get over this whole argument.

[Rouge]

I read all of them before I realized how stupid they were.

I sold them all back for twelve dorra.

[johnroyal]

I read the first three and about one-hundred pages into the fourth one before my complaining about it made my girlfriend give up her innane quest to get me to like the books.

Things about Twilight:
The writing is childish. I used to write like Meyer. When I was 13. And it looks like she abused the hell out of a thesaures.
I learned the definition of Mary Sue. The reason I think so many young girls like it is because they can basically project themselves onto the blank face that is Bella.
Meyer endorses abusive relationships, rascism and sexism.
Girls really like things that are cute.

So I was talking to Beth about Twilight. I said, Edward is abusive, scary. And if I were to do half the shit he does during the books, she would leave me, or at least hate me. I mean. If I threatened to kill myself if she left me, or watched her while she slept, or blackmailed her into marrying me. That shit is scary. She agrees. I ask her what she likes so much about it. She says "Its cute." I can't win.


And its kind of plagarized, if you've read the Vampire Diaries books.

Meh, I don't care enough to cry about "how much I hate Twilight." Got better things to do.

[Writing_for_a_life]

I 'va read and the four books and i really like them . They have something romantic and the stories are compelling even if the writing isn 't so good(i personally don't believe so). Certaintly they are not realistic and its a little annoying that everything goes so fine , but i like them because of that ( for their happy-endings) .
