I have seen grown men and women wear Star Wars shirts, Spongebob shirts, South Park shirts, Family Guy shirts, Iron Man shirts, Simpson shirts, Batman and Spiderman shirts, the list goes on.... The other day I even seen a guy with a tattoo of the Cobra emblem from GI Joe. People get stupid tattoos all the time of movie and show related stuff. I'm not saying it isn't stupid but it happens.
R13, at some point you just realize the hype the rest of the world engages in doesn't matter. I didn't want anything to do with this shiz at first. Now look at me. I'm in the theater as I type this. We just saw the double feature and are waiting on Eclipse. You can either go thru life thoroughly open minded and enjoy things cause YOU WANT TO or you can allow everything to continue to sway your feelings. Your call dude.
SBG let me know how it is! We are going on Thursday for the matinee so we hopefully don't get slammed by a big crowd.
Most of those are shows, comic book characters and ones like Star Wars are all-time classics...Twilight isn't or will never be some cult classic.
And how about I just not like it because I could find better acting on Monday Night Raw? Or that its about vampires? It already wasn't looking good, people running it into the ground has just added to it.
And how about I like it because I just do. It is pathetic that you have nothing better to do than sit around criticizing all the things that you don't happen to relate to. This is the United States just in case you've forgotten--not everything is perfect we are one of the most media influenced nations, given that most of it is nothing but garbage, we all still feed into it. Just by typing on here about Twilight now you are giving it publicity, and any publicity is good publicity. Congratulations!!! You have fed into your apparently most hated fad.
um, you're completely wrong.... movie tattoos are pretty common, even the favorite movie t-shirts.Quote:

Like it for whatever reason you want, I don't care, I never said anyone shouldn't like it or that they were wrong for doing so. I never said I was some famous movie critic, it was my opinion of it and I think it's garbage. You like it, that's cool too, neither of us is wrong for it.
Sure. And yes, there has been a lot, but for older classic movies with cult characters..not generally this series that will be forgotten about in 5 years by most of it's fanbase.Quote:

My bladder definitely got a workout. LoLQuote:

Then there's the fact you think the acting is bad. That's expecting too much and being too critical. The whole point of movies and television is to be entertained. If you're not entertained because it's just not something you like...fine. But going in with the whole standpoint that this should be something filled with the best acting possible is being unrealistic.
Actors are paid to do a job. Far too much in my opinion, but I digress. And it's part of their job to act according to the script and the director's interpretation. They're just following orders. Like a quarterback who runs the play the coach calls that loses the game for them. Don't blame the QB if he was doing his best with what he was told to do.
And it's not just you. Far from it. The entire world is filled with people who expect too much from entertainment. Go in with an open mind and give it a chance to entertain you. See it for what it is and you stand a chance to enjoy many more movies.
But above all else do what you WANT to do because it's your CHOICE to do so. I can always agree with and respect that.
somebody needs to drop their man balls, and realize that vampires don't sparkle... come on SBG!!!
I'm kidding... I just wanted to be the opposition, and make a stand and not conform, but wait, by being one who doesn't conform to the ways of the media, aren't I being like the rest of those people? conforming to their ways!?!?!? oh my GOD! help me...
haha.. seriously, vampires DON't sparkle... but to each his own. I may actually sit down and watch the 1st two
