Like It Or Not, We Knew This Was Inevitable!! The TWILIGHT Movie Sequel Is Now On The Way...
Merrick here...
Word around my son's middle school is that the kids found the TWILIGHT movie pretty disappointing. But, given the film's audacious opening ($70.5-something mil), I suppose the following was a foregone conclusion:
Los Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 – Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.
...per a press release from Summit Entertainment.
Uh...
(shrugs)

-
I'm so unexcited by this!
-
i read the books. they were pretty shitty. new moon being the shittiest
-
neither of which know what a good shag really is
-
That is all.
-
Do the fans you know have rubbish taste in movies?
-
She said it was pretty close with only a few differences. I haven't seen it, I'm not wasting money to go watch this in a theatre I may watch when it comes out on BR. I thionk i'd rather sit through Hope Floats or something.
-
I liked their take on the Mission Impossible song, and their version of Behind Blue Eyes was okay.
-
It still looks like a network television movie pilot. I actually thought that's what it was until it showed up here as a main page headline.
-
Maybe that'll save it. Since I'm waiting for the DVD release, color "so what" at this point
-
With Twilight scoring US$70 million at the BO, it was no longer necessary to keep the review up.
-
Where is the story about the new release date of The Wolfman? It seems like they are pushing it back to fall 2009!
-
You'll wake up the other bitches.

Here is a list of things that are lamer than Vampires:
by derlanghaarige
- Hannah Montana
- uhm...yeah, that's it. I hate vampires. (Please note that I'm not bashing Twilight. Never read the book [I didn't even know about it since last weekend], didn't see the movie, I just think that vampires are lamy-lame-lame².) -
What would be the point of taking it down?
-
the next movie HAS werewolves in it. From a filmmakers perspective, the movie wasn't that bad. Granted I am like the only hetrosexual male fan of the series I tried to be as objective as possible and I still liked it. New Moon is probably the weakest book of the series but the third book eclipse has an unbelievable vampires vs vampires and werewolves battle that is ultra violent that even the posters on this site would like. Wait for that.
-
Every movie needs some Werewolves.
-
Every movie is better with Werewolves or Ninjas. I prefer Werewolves, but if Werewolves aren't available, I'm okay with Ninjas.
-
...they will end this twilight nonsense. Whose with me?
-
that way the annoying teens will be in that theater when it comes out, and I'll go see something else without having to be bothered by a fucking texter bitch.
-
...but I'm all for sacrifying people. :)
-
I pirate or two wouldn't be bad either.
-
I'm betting whoever canned her from "Life on Mars" is really kicking themselves now. Besides, her character is supposed to be the big bad in this one.
-
I haven't read the books, but come on - how good can vampire novels written by a fucking Mormon housewife really be?
-

Y'know, the ones with parrots and eyepatches and wooden legs. Like the ones that we saw in movies from the 50's. Who begin every sentence with "Arrrrrrrr" and are killed by Errol Flynn.
-
Hide the kids.
-
....our hero vampire is a VIRGIN who refuses to have sex until marriage. Their are a plethora of other insipid bullshit moral crap she's thrown into the mix. Keep in mind the lead vamp has been a vamp for quite some time...and still is a virgin. Think about it. How LAME is that?

. . . it's that twelve-year-old girls love thinking about sex far more than their male counterparts. Just, you know, as long as it doesn't involve genitals. Or grossness.
-
Sorry - it's been awhile since it's been said!
-
ala High School Musical
-
Fucking horrible mormon propaganda with not one redeeming feature that has inexplicably been taken up by women.
-
"Oh Edward," sighed Bella "You're so perfect, and our love is so true, I think I may just die right now" "mmmphph" Said Edward, as he struggled to enunciate when he was licking her underage asshole out
-
What's wrong with these guys? I thought they filmed entire series in one go these days.
-
We're supposed to believe the VAMPIRE is a virgin?!? Are you fucking kidding me?!? That's priceless! The irony is, a huge segment of the teenage girls in the audience have probably already given blow jobs, at least. You'd figure they'd be laughing about that bullshit, too.
-
"before I found these movies, women only made me cry through my penis. Now they make me cry through my eyes."
-
It could have had a saving grace... The villain named James could have been cool but too bad the action in the film is horrible. It reminded me of bad sci-fi channel movies. Sure it made 70 million this weekend wait and see when it makes 20 this weekend if not worse. Sure will idiot goths go see it again but if anyone actually liked this film they are either blind or just fucking stupid. Not bashing the books the story was fine and interesting but the film was horrible.
-
I would repost the link, but can't be arsed- it's in Harry's TB and starts with "stoney"
-
The producers acknowledge the disappointment of the AintItCool readership and head in a new direction for the sequel.
Sequel to be directed by Jesus Franco.
Bella is killed in the opening credits by a werewolf ripping her head off.
The hot vampires have a 90 minute on-screen graphic lesbian love orgy that earns the film an NC-17.
Edward Cullen comes out of the closet. -
I'm a projectionist and a student of film, and the large chunks of Twilight I have seen are laughably bay. There is a scene in which a vampire is running up a hill in the woods with a girl on his back and it looked like Muppet-level special fx. The dude is a little raised off the ground and moving back and forth slightly. cough. And the blue filter over the entire film was fucking awful. Just lazy, terrible craft...
-
Screw y'all. I'm excited for this.
nuff said. Thank god I don't need this geek squad to inform me or sway my opinion on what movies or books are good and/or bad. -
Funny how even middle-school kids could see the huge flaws in a film that Harry gave such stellar review.
-
per say, per say
-
For me, as a fan, this is great news. I know most of you hate the franchise, and I understand that. But, it's about time that us women had our own big blockbuster movie franchise. That being said, I know several guys that did like the movie. As book to movie comparisons go, I really enjoyed. The movie was definitely not without it's flaws. Some of the effects were laughable, and some of Pattinson's acting was way over the top. But, as a fan, I still enjoyed the movie. There were some great moments. The soundtrack was perfect. All of the actors had the essence of the characters the way I saw them in the books, which was probably the most important thing for me. I thought that with the small amount of time and the small budget that they had, they did a great job. Just my two cents. :-)
-
How come that series hasn't taken off?
-
"it's about time that us women had our own big blockbuster movie franchise". Seriously? Did you also vote for McCain/Palin because one of the two of them has a vagina? Just because a movie panders to you doesn't mean you have to support it. And you WOMEN don't have your own movie franchise in Twilight. You TEENAGE GIRLS have a franchise. Grown women who fawn over this series set back women's lib by a century and a half. Do you not see how ridiculously sexist these books are? Bella is an incompetent mess without her beautiful Edward around. PUKE. The relationship is dictated by Edward's demands and Edward's needs. PUKE.

by royston lodge
Harry Potter, Narnia, Golden Compass, Lemony Snicket, et al, are male-centric franchises?
-
"idiot goths"? I CALL SHENANIGANS. I don't think you saw the film. If you had, you'd have noticed that there were NO "idiot goths" in the theatre and that this film plays to a largely teenybopper trendy, preppy crowd.
-
'nuff said.
-
You thought Breaking Dawn was better than New Moon?
*gags*
The whole book (Breaking Dawn) was a pro-life-even-at-the-expense-of-the-mother's-life piece of tripe. At least New Moon was just mediocre. Breaking Dawn was freaking ridiculous. -
That should have been screamed from every rooftop in the nation. THANK YOU for saying what needed to be said!!!!!!!!!!

That's about it. *sigh*

Please, don't compare HP with this TWILIGHT shite. HP deals with far more sinister situations where death is everywhere. No friggin' emo romances with a boy-chick.
And, Werewolves are friggin' pedophiles a.k.a Greyback. Try that TWILIGHT. -
Why do douchebags like you find it necessary to rain on someone's parade? The amount of negative discussion on AICN in general and on this movie in particular is astounding. I'll let you in a on little secret. Most of us develop an ability to respect other people's opinions and choices. This little but extremely beneficial skill usually starts to develop during childhood. Usually around the time that we learn to sleep without the light on. Grow up and find something constructive to do instead of tearing things down or remain a no-account loser.
-
Twilight definitely needed ninjas... and more explosions... some shootouts... bare boobs... and... AWWWW FUCK TWILIGHT! Fuck it up its stupid ass!
-
I'd gladly watch that.
-
Fuck off cocksucker. Necgray is exactly right. This is blazingly misogynistic, closet racist mormon propaganda shit. Why don't you try growing a brain and you may realise that.
-
Is that a joke? I laughed my ass off anyways.

Twilight-the movie -is gay. Above are lyrics to the classic U2 song. The movie should have been about U2 and not a bunch of teenage vampires. Agree?

I will not waste my money on the sequel either.

by jarjar25
Most of these moronic losers have to be bashing someone's elses film that they love to feel good about their loser existance. I loved reading Twilight and liked the film as well. I also, loved Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. If you morons love to keep bashing others for their opinions, then what does that say about you?? Most of you on this site are a bunch of potty mouth losers, like Lost Jarv for instant. If you don't like something, then everyone is not suppose to not like it either. That is not how people work! You bash actors and films, because it doesn't fit with your views and opinions. Most of you need to grow up. You think your big on this site. I like to see you try this in front of a group of people at work, not at a comic convention.
-
That a 37 million budget movie can make a mint. You don't alway need "knock'em outta the park" SPFX to make a ton of money. Sometimes..."Ok" is good enough. It's sad they way the geekboys have to tear stuff down just to feel in control of something. Every movie is not to everybodys taste. Chill! But hurray for the "Twilight" team. Maybe they'll pop some extra bucks into the next one, but not TOO much I hope. Maybe if most movies cost less than 150 million...we could actually afford to go see them!
-
Teenage girls propelled Titanic into the highest grossing movie of all time. That's becuase they went and saw it in the theater multiple times, if you think Twilight will have a drop off this weekend with school being out for Thanksgiving you're crazy. Twighlight's box office is alone will bank roll the the entire franchise. Be ready for all of those books to be made in to movies.
-
I'm pretty mouthy full stop. But thanks anyway. And don't project your personal eunuch demon onto me, thanks all the same. Now, why don't you fuck off and keep kissing your new Edward Cullen poster in the hope that if you pray enough, it may slip you the tongue in return.
-
I think this looks naff, but you do make valid points. People should be free to enjoy whatever they want. But... there's a time and place. Twilight isn't a 'cool' film, so it shouldn't be advertised here. It's a mainstream romance novel adapted into a mainstream romance film with sprinklings of pseudo-vampire mythology - unlike Underworld, which was an action-packed mythology flicked (that was atrocious, but that's another story.)
-
No. Ordinarily I could not care less what people like or don't like. For example, I don't hate Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, but many do. I love Alien 3, but I know lots of people hate it. If you like something, then fine, but I reserve the right to disagree. However, Twilight is a different thing.For a start, I don't like religious propaganda disguised as tween romance. Secondly, I don't like misogynism. Thirdly, I don't like racism. These books have all of this in spades, and if you're too stupid to realise it, then I pity you and your moronic ilk.By the way, if you recognise that Twilight is evil, but don't care, then fair enough.PS- I'm well aware of my status in the world, and I share exactly the same opinions with "real" people as I do here. I've also never been to a convention. Now, little doggy, seeing as I've just responded without a single threat or swearword and dismantled your idiotic post entirely, what've you got?
-
rubbish come from? This is TAAAAAALKBAAAACK- known to be a wretched hive of scum and villany. This is not the audience for Twilight, and a backlash is only to be expected.

Menstuating vampire blood bucket cunts get that once a month feeling and drop clangers all over the jocks changing rooms. "Feed me!! Feed me now!! The wet beards will be fed with jocks clangers!!
Be afraid. Be very afraid. -
As to the movie being "cool" enough for the site ... two things. 1) Date movie, got it! Thanks Harry, this is need to know information! 2) Mormon writing about vampires gets book made into a movie and released by a company no one has ever heard of? That combination usually is right up this site's alley.
-
and I'm interested in where the seires will go.
-
my wife's over the top for this thing and I don't get it at all, other than her lusting for the boy actor (though as I pointed out, I wouldn't go see a Zeta-Jones, Megan Fox, Morene Baccarin, etc. film multiple times just because they were in it and I wanna do 'em).
I'm hardly surprised the sequel's green-lighted. Whether we like it or not, this junk has an audience (at least my wife's admitted the film's camp, but she still likes it) and it's not just fat goth girls and unmarried tubs who are older; it's numerous single women and married/soccer mom types and all that. They're all blind to the Morman tract underneath it all along with the total fucking up of all things vampire (some variations in other films/books don't bother me, but in these books, it's out and out dismantling and not rebuilding it well at all). However, if you have a girlfriend/wife who wants to see it or see it again and threatens to drag you along, find out of the new Bond is playing in the same multi-plex - that's what I did yesterday and found the latest revisionist 007 much better than I that it would be, not Bourne rip at all; in fact Craig's Bond would have Bourne as a training exercise. While Blade could take out the Twilight sparkle-in-sun supposedly vamps in a matter of minutes, even with the one that claims she can see the future. -
...I think you might be hurting some people's feeeeeeeeeeliiiiiiings. Keep it up...it's hilarious!
-
forget politics, how about more depth or layers? Wouldn't you rather have a more interesting franchise, like the Anita Blake books, which actually will work on-screen for an audience of women and even men?
-
I rooted for the fucking iceberg.
-
Would like to know. If you can't take the rants and flame-throwing, get out of the war zone, boy.
-

-
I forget, did Crash win the Oscar? Because that makes House Party III look like House Party in comparison.
-
but Titanic was worse. Just think if Jon Peters had produced it, he would've put in a giant spider.
-
What kind of religous propaganda is in the book? Is it for or against religion? My wife is a very non=religous (i.e. there is not god) type person and she never commented on any kind of religous propaganda when she read the book.
I haven't ready and probably won't. -
I like Twilight. New Moon and Eclipse are meh. Breaking Dawn is blegh. But the movie sucked balls. Rob Pattinson is pretty to look at. But just stop NOW.
Of course they won't, this movie will break the top ten. Piece of shit, direct to video qualilty, totally able to be MSTied and all.
-
Titanic is worse? But Crash tells us that we're all racist, and then has the gall to have characters who point out stereotypes carry them out... and even worse, a man molests a woman, and then later on saves her life.
-
Getting married just means you get to watch the person you love wither and die. So why would a vampire wait until marriage to have sex? So stupid. Also Harry's reviews can no longer be trusted, for quite a while now.
-
Screw all you Twilight lovers, you're wrong.
-
it is basically a harlequin romance with no sex, no real violence and faux vampires...is it every little girls fantasy to fall in love with an old dude who looks and acts like a 17 year old? go and watch near dark and see how they dealt with a similar issue...makes it real and creepy

I'm living overseas ... is this whole Twilight thing some sort of weird Christian thing?
-
I know the film has its haters but come on it was a fucking thrill ride in 1997 and quite ambitious.
-
I'm tired of hot people in the role of vampires.
-
I'm surprised that the regulars here don't recognize a classic sf-fantasy build. The Cullens are moral vampires--the same thing happened to Lestat--if you follow Anne Rice's series--and don't wish to cause others to suffer. So, they've created a tenuous balance between their world and ours. But that balance will be overthrown by LOVE, and everyone will be hurt/shattered in the process. Think, o talkbackers, you're smarter than Stephanie Meyer. If we normal humans knew the Cullens existed, we would enslave them, and harvest them for their DNA until we discovered the source of their powers. Sure they're faster than 100 of us, but not 1,000,000 of us, armed with the latest technology. They have to hide. It's Bella and Edward who blows their cover. What's not classic about that? The fact that the writer isn't first-rate doesn't negate a good setup, and the world of the Cullens is a good setup.
-
You must mean that dream of a trip to six flags I had when I passed out from watching that stinker.
-
For the same reason that I don't follow Twilight. I'm a movie fan with a bent for horror and sci-fi, not a fat teenage girl with a bent for shitty romance novels featuring non threatening, tall dark and handsome cutouts. I'm not big on the Barbra Cartland either, so don't ask me to identiy with those archetypes when we are lining up for the buffet in the retirement village. The world of the Cullens is not a good set up, the main reason being that unless your execution is flawless and brings something original to the table, its an age old cliche.

I went to see Bond this weekend, and I passed the Twilight line-- and it was honestly 50% gay dudes. What the fuck gay dudes-- you do know this shit is Mormon Propaganda right? The same Mormon Propaganda that beat your ass with Prop 8? Grow a fucking brain and boycott this shit. You ask us to stand with you and support equality...well stand with me and say FUCK MITT ROMNEY!
-
Do you have any idea what happens in book 4? Everything is tied up so neatly so that Bella has all her dreams come true with no sacrifice or pain to suffer for it. The author gives her what she wants on a fucking plate. I've never seen a protagonist have it so good.
-
if you've actually read the last book...
Yes she gets her dreams, but she has her back broken by her uberfetus baby whilst nearly dying from the pregnancy. Then she has to have Edward chew through her uterus and placenta to get the baby out. After that she spends hours, if not days with enduring the burning agony of the vampire venom as it works on her.
So..I wouldn't say she had it easy. But I never liked Bella so I enjoyed her suffering through it. She deserved it. -
on this page. But I loved the movie (except Kristen Stewart who talks like she has a mouthful of marbles) and I enjoyed the books.
So Meh. -
Her personality reminds me of Harry's review of the Twilight: pretty, cute, naive, and lacking substance, conviction and logic. Thanks for showing how far you've come in your reviews, Harry. You might as well retire because that review was the best you've ever done. So, please, as a courtesy, stop reviewing.

What the hell do I like? Well, I'm pretty fond of that old 8mm loop of your wife and a Great Dane. Other than that, not too much.
-
There should be more of "A Series of Unfortunate Events". True, the Baudelaire children should be recasted (As it's been a few years and Emily Browning's certainly more mature now), but I want to see Jim Broadbent as Vice Principal Nero. After seeing "Moulin Rouge!", I kept thinking that would be the perfect role. XD
Anyway...I also thought, why not give the "Eragon" series to the producers? Since these people know to keep the important stuff in the books. Somehow, Fox really messed up on that. -
There's always a sequel to everything that makes over $10 million.
But what does it matter because Avatar will be fucking our eyeballs in 2009.
-
gay guys like looking at young flesh, the same way straight guys do...so what if the person benefitting from the film happens to be a lying mormon bitch who says that the entire idea for twilight came from a dream and she had never in her life seen or read a vampire story before...the lying cunt has just finished a scifi novel that is a direct ripoff of the puppetmasters...of course, her pure mormon self never read the original novel...its just an amazing fucking coincidence...and if you are a guy, and enjoyed the twilight series...you have no scrote....moral vampires??? and the entire thing of the heroine haveing a shit time with pregnancy and birth has everything to do with the original sin bullshit...sex is evil, therefore pregnancy and delivery is all about pain and anguish...fuck that...fuck twilight...fuck tweeners

Twilight is crap city. It's killing Feminism!!! All those little tramps in their playboy shirts giving blow jobs casually in the janitors closet all because they read twilight and they are trying to get boys to like them by offering themselves as a possession. -
Seriously, at it's worst this bitch ripped off the first few seasons of Buffy and some really bad romance novels. There is no way I could defend this shit no more than I could High School Musical which my wife likes for some insane fucking reason.If this teaches us anything it's that MOST women have horrible taste in movies. Not all of them,just MOST of them. I had a long conversation about this subject with a chick who dressed as Natalie Portman from the Professional at a movie themed halloween party.No other girl at the party knew what she was supposed to be and she had to explain why she was carrying a small potted plant all night. Oh well, thats just my take on it. Fuck this movie.

It's gay but the fun gay... not the dick in ass gay so commonly associated with gayness.

Much of the hatred for Twilight comes from those who have never seen the movie. My room mate and I waited for several hours to see this over the weekend and I must say I was amazed. The movie is a solid fun ride that stays much more faithful to it's source material than many of it's contemporaries. Considering the age of the cast, there are several top notch acting performances turned in, especially Billy Burke as the snarky Charlie Swan.
History, not the people in this talk back, will judge Twilight. By the look of the box office and the growing number being converted to super fans, Twilight will go down as the most important movie of 2008, making people forget the highly over rated Dark knight. -
No I did NOT vote for McCain or the idiot Palin. As for the books, yes, Bella is the weak link, but if you had read the series, you would know that she actually becomes the most powerful character in the end and ends up saving everyone. Sorry, but I really do love these stories. If that is a problem to you, then don't read the books or watch the movies. But let those of us that love it have it. And for the record, where is the Mormon proganda? I despise the mormon religion. What, is it the no sex before marriage thing? That a GOOD thing to teach to kids. It's unrealistic, but it's a nice idea. Sometimes I wish I would have stuck to that...
-
the movie is retitled ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DRACULA (Spanish title translates as ABBOTT AND COSTELLO IN A DERIVATIVE VAMPIRE CRAPPER). Just cast Nicolas Cage and Patton Oswalt as the incarnated comedy duo. There's also a romantic subplot for pre-adolescent bobby sockers.
-
Quoting your prophetic summary: "Twilight will go down as the most important movie of 2008, making people forget the highly over rated Dark knight." Very profound. To paraphrase Big Chief Stereotype, "Ugh! No wonder you've christened yourself Dancingforever. Ugh!"
-
A minor masterpiece like GINGER SNAPS is criminally underrated (lyncanthropy=teen angst/menopause). But TWILIGHT, a Count Crapula quickie, makes the bucks. GINGER SNAPS and DOG SOLDIERS are sleepers undeserved of their anonymity.
-
Here's a quick test to determine if you're gay:
Q) Did you like Twilight more than Dark Knight?
A) Yes
B) No
If you answered A, then you its safe to assume that you like logs up your poop chute. Keep dancing. -
Dancingforever, I don't know whether to fetch the metaphorical baseball bat to administer your beatdown, or just a fucking watering can. You are either 12 or a complete fucking plant. Which is it? Paul, I had no beef with you, and then you started in on me with your pathetic, nutless whinging. FYI, dickhead, seeing as you are clearly not smart enough to read any of the umpteen articles posted on this, Harry's review or any of the Talkback's- Edward Cullen is the "hero" of Twilight. You fucking idiot, do you struggle to walk and chew gum at the same time. And don't start on another user- especially one that asked you a civil question. You want to play with me? fine, but I warn you that you're outclassed on every level. Potch, as one of the more civil posters on here, I will give you a civil answer. Twilight is mormon propaganda for several different reasons. There is nothing wrong with abstinence in itself, but Twilight is not about abstinence- she's fucking desperate to be nailed by him but he keeps turning her down for some inexplicable reason- so lets kick that one into touch. Twilight is laced with pretty blatant LDS stuff- "Italian"(catholic)= bad, person of non white colour= bad+ creepy paedo, determinism (imprinting on unborn child), woman subjugating herself to the man (er, fucking all of it), dual marriage imagery (marriage+ conversion to vampirism), etc. I can go on and on with this, but really please see that article from Stoney, as she is much more knowledgeable about LDS and dismantles it far more adeptly than I can. It's loathsome shit and needs putting in the bin where it belongs.
-
http://stoney321.livejournal.com/317176.html Safe for work, very funny, and absolutely scathing. Read and learn- she's an ex-mormon and a very witty writer.
-
Yuck. YuckYuck What a piece of shit that was.
-
obviously 12- "superfan" Ooooooooh, SUPERFAN!!!!! Pathetic.
-
bacci - mormons don't believe in original sin, and they don't believe that sex is evil. the religion requires that abstinence be practiced before marriage. but you'll never, ever even hear it implied that the pain of childbirth is a punishment.
lost jarv - stoney may be an ex-mormon, but she doesn't seem to get a lot of the doctrine.
i'm sort of a lapsed mormon, but not really bitter about it. i'm not defending the quality of the books, i haven't read them but they seem pretty bad. i'm not denying that meyers' beliefs are reflected in her writing, but calling them propaganda is overdoing it a little. that's like saying that a book where the characters have sex is liberal atheist propaganda. -
ha! good point. To be fair, I didn't just pull from Stoney- I was aghast when I read her summary, and the power of google and 5 minutes of reading confirmed it. I just find Stoney's original hilarious- especially the later books. So that's why I post that one.
-
G-A-Y.
-
I'd expect half these one-off posters (jarjar, dancing etc) to be plants. But I can't see the point in planting positive buzz over this- unless someone is shitting themselves about a 99% drop and poisonous business abroad- (but why would they care?)
-
"Oh, Edward, you've been staked, but, oh my goodness gracious, it just made your rosy cheeks even rosier! Your buttocks clench even tighter! *Sigh*!"
Seriously, I suspect there is a secret cabal of 13 year old girls, aging obese loveless goth chicks, and middle aged gay men otherwise this series of... things... never would have seen the light of day. -
Am I supposed to feel intellectually inferior because some internet posting jackoff says that he outclasses me in every department? That's your big claim to fame? What a shallow life you must lead. You really need to go outside and play.
-
I seriously doubt it. But if you ever get to the Burgh, you're more than welcome to try.
-
I didn't and you obviously do feel inferior. Or you wouldn't have posted that crap.Once again, simpleton, stop projecting your personal demons onto me. So far, I've managed to decipher that you're a eunuch with no life. Anything else you want to share with the class?
-
Idiot and simpleton are words that I've seen applied to you in talkbacks. If namecalling makes you feel better about being yourself and your lame excuse for a life then fire away. I'm a big boy and can take it. Besides, I can't locate you to cave your fucking skull in.
-
And that, Paul, is why you are obviousy a total inadequate Did that make that pathetic lump of useless gristle you call your pee-pee stand up? You do know, don't you assclown, that threatening violence on an anonymous forum is about the most pathetic thing you can do. Now fuck off.
-
pussy
-
You're right. It is about the most pathetic thing you can do. Right behind vicious verbal attacks on other people's intelligence. I'm really bored (as I'm sure the other members) are with you and this exchange. Go ahead and fire away. I don't care enough to respond further.
-
with eloquence like that, it's fucking obvious why you're threatening violence. Out-fucking-classed.
-
This Paul guy is undoubtedly the asshole formerly known as LambLion and Whananahara7. That guy also had a penchant for threatening violence and inviting talkbalkers to "the Burgh" for a beating. He also liked to say that he didn't care enough to respond, and then did so anyway when his foes didn't shut up.
A complete and utter tool. -
As you say: A complete and utter tool
-
Ha. There is my joke.
-
"Paul Bucciarelli lay on his piss stained mattress with his pecker clutched tightly and a pair of Bella's used panties draped across his malformed face. He inhaled her musky three-day-old scent deep into his nostrils and furiously tugged at himself. One day she would notice him, and on that perfect day, he could give up rooting through her used laundry and would know the pleasure of her underage touch”
-
Hahaha. Nasty.
-
It must be a slow day over there in customer Service. Why don't you walk over to Infants or Gift Wrapping and see if they need any help.
-
He came back. This is also the jackhole who said I was among the people who would be "put to the sword" after the "revolution".
-
I didn't come back to anything. I said that I was done responding to Lost Jarv and I am. Responding to new dickheads that I've never done anything to but feel the need to attack me is another story. And what do you mean by put to the sword? What are you talking about? Maybe you have me confused with the countless others you've pissed off.
-
Wait a minute. You dropped my motherfucking name while I wasn't here? Oh promptly fuck off and die you slimy piece of shit. Threatening physical violence? Hehe. I may talk a whole lotta shit on here. But the day shall never come when I stoop so low and become the "Lets meet so I can crush your fucking skull" guy. Those are words being typed by stubby little fingers that have never been in the same room as a pussy, unless you count the rotten slit on your mother's corpse after she was fucked to death by AIDS infected chimps.
Keep threatening violence tough guy. I eagerly anticipate the "Give me your address and I'll be there any time" post.
Just fucking lame. Not even entertaining. Just pathetic. -
It must fucking KILL you to be sitting there, fuming with impotent rage, just longing for a face to punch and having to put up with the verbal abuse.
-
So let me get this straight, you staring bitching and whining about the negative posts on Twilight, and then proceed to threaten physical violence?
You wouldn't have to be a Mormon, would ya? -
He's blatantly a fat guy in a rat infested basement apartment cluttered with soiled porn magazines (horrible shit, like dwarf horse porn as well), empty take away cartons with a pleasant rim of dried, crusty old food and some particularly sorry looking and obviously untouched weight equipment. He'll be sitting there fuming to himself "they think they're so funny, one day I'LL FUCKING SHOW THEM. THEY WON'T LAUGH AT ME THEN. OH NO, SIR, THEY WON'T BE LAUGHING THEN".....
-
"Fat paulie was devastated. He'd said his prayers, taken his steroids and all he had to show for it was a shrunken pair of bollocks and a terrible case of acne. But what really hurt, was that his one, true, perfect Bella had slapped a restraining order on his fat ass. He'd only been watching her pluck her bikini line and she'd done this to him. He picked up his night-vision goggles and strapped a hunting knife to his portly leg. He'd have her soon and when he did they would be together for ever."
-
Uh-oh...better stay away from the "Burg"....cancel your trip everyone!

I had better never go to "The Burgh".

Nov 25, 2008 11:44:08 AM CST
the "Queef" was much better at threatening violence
by just pillow talk
though he only did it for shits and giggles. Then again, he's not from the mean streets of the "Burg".
-
"I'm gonna teach you something with my fists!" used to mean you were going fight someone.
Now it can mean a fight, a sexual act that involves placing fist into anal or vaginal orface or showing a chap just the right tension to apply to an erect penis to achieve a thrilling and satisfactory orgasm.
Just think of where "Giving someone the finger" will be in a year or two. -
into the "Burg"? Clash of the Titans, to say the least.
-
Did someone forget to pay your troll-tax?
-
Where men are men, rats are eaten, and small children are routinely buggered.
-
One time I was in Vegas with a few friends. One of my buddies was totally shit-faced walking around the casino with two middle fingers in the air for some reason. Some random dude walks up to him all pissed off (my friend is like 5'1) and asks him, "Did you just finger me, mate?" My friend just bursts out laughing because like me, he has the maturity of a horny 9 year old, and he was drunk afterall. Anyway, this just pisses off this British twat even more and he asks again, "I'm serious mate...did you just finger me?" They eventually settled it calmly and ended up pals, sharing a smoke outside. But it was pretty funny.
-
I like that the guy has to ask if he's been fingered. Twice, no less.
-
Where hunger, poverty, and a lack of education have combined to create the ultimate in urban deprivation. Kind of like Streets of Fire without the gentle charm.

-
I know. Its ridiculous.
Did you finger? No. No seriously mate, did you just finger me? Uhhhhhh no. I was just pointing my fingers in the air, not at anyone in particular. So you did fucking finger me!! No....not exactly-- You just set your fingers were in the fucking air! But not at you. At who than?! Uhhhh no one really. I was just putting them in the air to be funny. So you think its fucking funny to finger people you don't know, mate?! -
'You like fingering random people, you fuck?'

why are so many English that come to America....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...total twats?
-
that go to England are douches. Answer: because there's a lot of drippy whores to go around.
-
I'm not saying all Euro tourists. Germans are lovely people whenever I've run into them. Always quirky and smiling. Anytime I've run into an English tourist they were absolute pricks that thought they were bad asses and trying to fight random people and just being bullies at a bar, rude to women, that kinda shit. Never seen that from another foreign group of tourists. All others are cool.
-
Did by chance any of them want to crush your skull in?
-
English tourists are absolute pricks. We don't want them, is the long and short of it.
-
threatening to "cave in" somebodies skull in an annonymous TB is the height of being an scabbed over pussy. Fucking mamas boy loser. How much time did you do for molesting goats?
-
We call it stump breaking.
-
I want to suck on someone's nose until their head caves in.
Yummmm! -
How else would we learn about the grand Mormon propaganda/conspiracy to brainwash teen girls into being subservient to their man.
"No woman! You will only get this vampire dick when I decide the time is right. In the meantime...stay ready and wet. Now go make me a gerbil-blood milkshake, and STFU!"
OMG the horror! -
...FUCK 'EM.
-
Have you actually read the books or are you just going by what you've been told? Edward DOES have reasons for not sleeping with Bella. He struggles constantly between his love and his wanting to kill her. He thinks that if they sleep together, that he will not be able to control himself and he will kill her. He loves her too much to put her into that kind of danger. I guess I just don't know enough about the mormon religion, even though I kind of live in the thick of it, living in Idaho. I pretty much hate what they stand for, yet I love these books. I guess I just focused more on the love story and the characters, and I didn't read into it the way some people did. Like anything, it can be interpreted in different ways, and I just didn't see that. Maybe I'm simple minded. I didn't see Bella as a this simply submissive woman. She was definitely the week link for most of the story, but that was more because she was human. She's pretty stubborn and stands her ground, and doesn't always just give in to what the men say. You can find "propaganda" in anything if you look hard enough. I mean, one could say that most of the comic book and superhero stories out there are sexist and proganda as well... usually consisting of some weak human girl being constantly rescued and drug around by the male superhero. In Twilight, some of the women are even more powerful than the men. As for the marriage = conversion part. I can KIND of see thepoint there, although in this, Edward didn't want Bella to convert. He wanted her to stay human. There were several characters in the series who actually thought that staying human was the much better alternative. He saw ALL vampires as evil, including himself. I just don't think that the author's intent was to spread a bunch of propaganda. I think people are looking for it because she IS mormon, but I really don't think that was her intent.
-
As much as I love this series, and I really do. It's a bit of an unhealthy obsession... the sparkling in the sun thing is REALLY REALLY stupid. Edward makes this big deal about what is going to happen in the sun, and then it's like... ooh he sparkles. I love vampire-y stuff, and I'm all for writing the legends and coming up with new twists, but when I first read the books, I was really hoping for something grotesque... like in the sun, he looks like he would if he was really dead, or he just looks like a skeleton or something. That would have been much cooler. As much of a fan as I am, I'm not naive to the flaws in the stories. And I still think that most guys could learn a few things from Edward. Just saying. :-)
-
Something that I have found really funny about all this mormon propaganda nonsense is that I've been told by several christians that reading this book will send me to hell because it's about vampires.
-
Got something against the English? All drunken yobs are we?You want a fight then, eh? Come on then! One at a time of both - hic - together, all the same to - hic - me... Bleeeeuuurrgh! Eww...I fancy a kebab.
-
'And I still think that most guys could learn a few things from Edward. Just saying. :-)'
Could you explain your quote please? Do you want most men to be -
Virgins?
90 year old men in high school?
Men who are worried about killing the women they sleep with?
Mormon vampires?
To look 17 years old forever?
To chew through your stomach like it's abortion day at Sizzler?
To hit on high school chicks?
Well that's me baby...and I've got a massive cock...and I can fly.
Sorry for jumping in on this, I'm glad that you will have a film series you can enjoy. I only got involved in this TB because of that Paul Bucciarelli was insulting people. He insulted me once. But you'd never fucking know it as the shitcunt who banned me removed the posts.
Yep, I'm still bitter. -
I'm English, so yes. Yes I do.
-
You're still bitter over being banned from a nerd movie site? Sorry but I don't remember you. What accurate assessment of your character did I make that pissed you off so bad that your retort got you banned?
-
Yep, I'm still bitter about being banned from a nerd movie site, but it had nothing to do with you - the reason for the banning was that I suggested the people behind ScriptGirl, who came on the forums only to insult people, were worthless sacks of crap...and that was enough.
You insulted me over my very humourous statement involving the set design for the new Watchmen movie.
The set designer was showing behind the scenes video of the new sets and used the words 'None of you will have any idea how much work has gone into these sets...' and then spent 10 minutes telling us exactly how much work went into the sets, thus making his earlier statement moot.
I made fun of this, you said something along the lines of 'Expletive, expletive, etc. Do you want a medal to put on your concave chest?'
I retorted 'My chest wasn't concave until your fat mother sat on it.' At which point, you were Pwn'd as the young people say.
All in all, a most entertaining exchange which will now be forever lost because I got banned by some fucking coward on this site who still hasn't owned up to it.
So my bitterness is not directed towards you, as all you seem to do is insult people without any kind of wit, sublety or humour.
The End - a Pondscum Picture Production -
There's no way they can spin this so it pulls the male audience that wants some BLOOD AND GUTS MOVIES.
-
But I refuse to suck your cock like the rest of these losers. I have the rest of Thanksgiving vacation to enjoy, and I am not going to spend it with the likes of you or anyone else here.
-
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out pissant.
-
oh that hurts. I'm devastated. Now fuck off.
-
yup. Bad. The Spanish hate most of us. It's because we export our worst. On behalf of this country I apologise. However, you really haven't seen pissant behaviour until you've seen the collection of fanny-pack and tube sock wearing pillsbury's that America exports to us every summer. From ignoring simple things (signs that say "DO NOT FEED THE BIRDS"), to saying offensive shit like "If it wasn't for us you'd be speaking german", inability to handle alcohol, asking us why we speak "American" like that (that one pisses me off), placing the needs of the godawful Damien clones that they have spawned to replace their worthless selves over the needs of others, they are a catalogue of dreadful behaviour and are only tolerated because they are so fucking easy to fleece. The simple fact is, that every nation has bastard tourists- when I was in Brazil last Christmas I saw a german dude reduce a waitress to tears- but plenty of us go abroad and are nice to locals. Especially those of us that live in or near to a tourist destination.
-
so I'm not going to be rude. Sorry, potch, but they are woeful books, and quite evil. Although that is very, very funny about moron's saying that it'll turn you on to Vampires (considering that there aren't any in the book). The world is full of stupid people.
-
How bad a reaming do you have to take?
-
"Fat paulie threw open his curtains and allowed the silver light of the moon to flicker across his morbidly obese body. He sighed once and gazed happily out into the night, totally ignoring the pathetic mewls of the naked 13 year old girl chained to his radiator. At length he turned to face her. He lifted up his overhanging gut with his right hand and began attempting to perform the least likely resurrection since lazarus on his useless genitals. He'd teach the bitch, oh yes, he'd teach her- she wouldn't call the police on him again. Not this one. And to think she'd only caught him licking her toilet seat."

How goes it hombre?

Maybe I should keep going with the nasty paulie twilight porn.
-
I've been avoiding this site for a while after all the evil crap that went on back in the day.
But I was bored this weekend and decided to drop in and was shocked by what I saw (with both my eyeballs).
The same ScriptGirl bullshit but with added smugness from the usual suspects, Harry's Twilight Review, the plant ridden early screenings, the Amazon links and the ubiquitous crap rumours parading as news.
But thankfully, one thing that hasn't changed is the unbelieveable wit, comedy and charm of the TB'ers. I missed you guys (sob).
So I'm gonna start interacting again on these boards and probably get myself banned once more. It's good to see everyone. -
we need more "good" posters against this silly army of trolls.
-
We really do need more "good" posters. Ok, I really love how you have a way with words. Seriously, do you have a job and what do you do? How often do you post? Do you exercise and what is does your diet consist of? I'm taking a health class to clear my credential, and was wondering about guys like you. Jar Jar 25 I am.
-
I do that all the time, I'm walking down the street and suddenly a pretty girl will start waving at me. I'm thinking, I don't know her, why is she waving at me? But she keeps waving, so I think, maybe she does know me, I'll wave back. And then like a complete twat, I realise she's waving at someone behind me. I then to the 'wave to adjusting hair' move to try and carry it off, but it's too late and I run home and cry.
Lost Jarv, I've been catching up on the posts and I'm very glad to see you 'kicking ass' and dealing with the morons and bullies on this site. I'm coming back now, so do you want to be Tango or Cash? -
See, that's what I love about books. They can be interpreted in so many different ways, be it good or bad. When I talk about how some many could take a lesson from Edward, none of the things you mention come to mind. He's fiercely loyal. He puts Bella's life ahead of his own. He greets her after every class and walks her to the next. He's willing to stay with her all night, even while she sleeps. He loves her so much that he wants her to stay human and live a human life, and he's willing to stay with her, even as she grows old. I happen to find that incredibly romantic. He opens doors. He's polite. He's not all about sex. He treats her with respect. Now, he's not without his faults... he is a bit controlling and overprotective. But the latter stuff that I mentioned are GOOD things. I'm not trying to bash on guys. There are amazing guys out there (I happen to have found one), but there are also a lot of stinkers out there that don't know how to treat women. I happen to like a little bit of chivalry in my man. :-)
-
I do respect your opinion in that the books are woeful. I have said before that they're not for everyone. I'm sure there are things that YOU love that I wouldn't like. I honestly don't know how to explain the obsession and love out there for these books. I am fully aware that the writing is sub par. There is something about them though that completely sucked me in, and I don't know what it is. Maybe I relate with Bella. Maybe it's the fantasy of it. Maybe it's just that I love the characters so much. I don't know. I've been sucked in to books, tv and movies before, but I don't know that I've ever been like this. Actually, no, there is one other thing that I'm this level of obsessed about, actually more so, and that's Buffy, but that's a talkback for another day. Honestly, it doesn't bother me when people bash the series. I get that. It's cool. The things that bother me are ONE, when people say false things about it, i.e. Edward can't have sex. Not true. And TWO, when people say things like, "You're stupid if you like it." I just think that's unfair. Everyone likes what they like. It doesn't make them stupid. Lots of people loved Cloverfield. I hated it. Personally, I thought it was a steaming piece of crap. It made me sick. It didn't have a plot, and the characters had no depth whatsoever (ok, Hud was pretty cool). But I don't think the fans of it are stupid or morons. I just think they saw something in it that I just didn't see.
-
I understand the sentiments behind your Edward-ly advice. But again, this is where fantasy and reality fail to meet.
You've basically described someone akin to a love sick puppy. Now I'm sure there are girls out there who would love to have a guy like that, in fact, I used to be a guy like that (many years ago).
Do you know what will happen to guys like that? She will say - you're suffocating me, why you following me all the time, why can't you be more like someone else, etc., etc.
After a while, she will lose all respect for Edward, grow bored of their relationship, complain that he's never spontaneous, take him totally for granted and eventually cheat on him. This may not apply to you, but it does to a lot of the women out there.
Ah the sweet paradoxical nature of women - 'My boyfriend's too jealous, my boyfriend's not jealous enough, my boyfriend wants sex all the time, my boyfriend doesn't want sex all the time...' Long may your confusing nature and illogical conclusions continue to bedazzle us poor men folk. :) -
I am employed in a job I loathe that thankfully is so underenforced that I can mess around on here as much as I like. I don't formally exercise, but weigh about as much as a teabag and walk everywhere.
-
That had it's fair share of 'girly' moments, but I was with it all the way. Except I found Buffy to be a spoiled little brat who complained all the time.
Willow, Faith and Fred, that's how to write interesting female characters. -
(and notice that I haven't belittled you, or told you to fuck off)of Cloverfield. I just happen to think that your description could equally apply to Twilight. Also, the fact that he watches her while she sleeps doesn't strike me as devoted. It strikes me as stalkerish and gross. Not to mention the fact that a 90 year old is even in high school is nasty. I object to the fact that it isn't a vampire book, I object to the propaganda, I object to the misogyny and racism of it. However, I don't think I've called anyone stupid for liking it- I've called it "stupid" and I've called Paulie stupid, but I haven't called fans in general stupid. I'm going home to watch Hawk The Slayer tonight, so I'm well aware of stupidity in films.
-
I haven't needed to. Be fair to me, that's all I ask.
-
Tango always struck me as a bit of an uptight asshole. Or failing that I'll be hooch.
-
I wasn't referring to you in particular when I talked about people calling us stupid. I know you didn't do that, and I appreciate it. But, there have been others in these talkbacks and other message boards that have said things like, "If you like these books, then you are illiterate and a moron" or "The only people who like these books are fat middle aged women who can't get a man". Those kind of things are just unfair. And I know you haven't lied about it either. I've heard some people say some crazy things about the series that are just not true. You've actually been fair in most of your assessments. I may not agree with you, but you've at least been nice about it. Like I said, I respect your opinions.

Yes, us women tend to be extremely fickle creatures, and I understand your confusion. I tend to be a bit old fashioned and sappy, so I like a guy who makes me the center of his world. But, you're right. Some girls don't like that.

You can just call me Pondscum. Pondscum is Banned is the new user name I had to use because...well you know the rest.

Oh, ok, I'm sorry. :-) I will do that.

I thought you were going to jump all over me again. Hey! Walking is good, which is what I do. Unfortunately I don't have the time to get on this site too much, because I'm a teacher, but have time, because of being on vacation. As for you having problems with Twilight, it is not the first book to offend someone. I like reading Lovecraft a lot. Found out that he was a racist, and even had negative racial parts in his stories, but I still read him. Good day.
