I'm reading Twilight right now so I can understand why they're so famous. I thought I'd be entertained by badness. Or at least romance, since I'm pretty cheesy. I was actually worried I would enjoy them, in a guilty way.
But so far, it's just fucking boring.

Elvilla 05-28-2010 03:54 AM

Hermes. I am forced to ask. Are you gay? No straight guy I know reads twilight. Not that its any of my business.

I don't judge.


EDIT- Do you guys think the release of the 2nd item will be delayed because of the glitching.

Hermes 05-28-2010 03:57 AM

No, I'm not gay. I've been bashing Twilight for months and people told me I didn't get to do that until I read it, so when I accidentally got a free copy of it I figured I would.

Edit: I hope the item isn't delayed. I'm much too impatient for it to be delayed.

Elvilla 05-28-2010 03:59 AM

That makes perfect sense. You need to know what you are bashing before you can bash it. Its like modern politics. A lot of them are arguing in favor for or against simply because of their voting party.

Also I read twilight and I hated it.

I read the host and I liked it.

Edit1- I need to use of my 190+ seeds by the end of this event.

Edit 2- Hermes, have you noticed when we start talking, no one else posts?

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 03:59 AM

Say yes to engineers babe!

how is everyone doing?

Elvilla 05-28-2010 04:01 AM

Welcome sad_girlformat. I believe we are all doing well. You are free to join in hermes and mine's coversation about twilight if you wish. I believe most people left.

Hermes 05-28-2010 04:01 AM

I think no one posts because they can't stand up to the might of our intellects Elvilla. And our powerful force as lone rangers.
What's The Host?

I'm doing swell Girlformat. Can I call you Format?

I'm stuck watching it online, but I don't mind cause at least I can access it easily.. though, it does lag my internet a bit when I'm watching it. >.<;

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 04:02 AM

@elv: hello!
tWILIGHT? good topic~ =]

@hermes: yeah. tons of name, format would work~
how do you do?

Hermes 05-28-2010 04:02 AM

I do good. I do event. I get items. Fun fun.
Thou?

Suona 05-28-2010 04:02 AM

Honestly, I know a lot of straight guys that have read the Twilight books and liked them. And I liked the books. I dont think a guy has to be gay to like them, either. They have a lot of action in them, too.

Elvilla 05-28-2010 04:03 AM

@format- We are discussing the failure that it is. If you have a different opinion, I'd love to hear it. It would be like our own book talk.

@Hermes- Though friends are always nice, its fun to not add people onto a list. It constricts freedom and mobility. You wouldn't tie a bunch of ants together because they each need to do their own thing. Also, The Host is another of her books.

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 04:03 AM

I'm good. just got in here today first time~

Twilight is good, although none of my guy friends read them, and they think the movie sucks. but I totally like it. Sparks people's imagination

Hermes 05-28-2010 04:05 AM

I saw the movie first. The movie was terrible. The acting was atrocious, and it barely had a story, not to mention the actual lines were bad and the silly jumping scene looked terrible.
Now I'm reading the books and they also really don't have a story. I'm halfway in and so far we've established that they are in love for no apparent reason, and with no warning either, and there is no antagonist, unless you consider Edward's vampire thirst the antagonist which is weak, especially since he so easily overcomes it.

And Elvilla, isn't a friends list more like giving a bunch of ants a list of who they know to put up in their hill than tying them together?

Elvilla 05-28-2010 04:06 AM

Twilight would be a decent book if people weren't shoving it down my throat. I am tired of everyone always trying to get me to read it even though I already have. Too many fangirls are squeeing because of Taylor. Personally, Robert played a better Cedric because he died at the end. Harry Potter wins over twilight. Some parts of Twilight were decent. Others not so much.

@Hermes- The antagonist comes in near the end. There is James and that other chick. Then the chick comes back in the second or third I believe. Also, I consider lists a chain.

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 04:07 AM

movie is not so good, but the book is great.

@elv: you mean the book or the movie?

Hermes 05-28-2010 04:08 AM

What kind of antagonist comes in at the end? That means there's no plot. That doesn't make sense!

Elvilla 05-28-2010 04:09 AM

Format- I used bits and pieces of both.
The movie was poorly made. However when Taylor took off his shirt, all the freakin 11 year old girls are all gaga over him. All that really takes away from everything.

The book was just set up wrong. Like hermes said it lacks a basic storyline. It lacks a villain. It also leaves too much unexplained parts.

@Hermes- Lists are a chain. Think about real life. If you have a friends list, you are expected to be with them like 24/7

Arikana 05-28-2010 04:11 AM

Do any of you watch How I Met Your Mother? : O <3

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 04:13 AM

Honestly, I don't think Taylor is the best Edward Cullen. He wasn't the way many of my friends and me imagine Edward to be like.

Um, I agree with the not so connected story line, and yes on the screaming 11 years old girls. :vicky:

Elvilla 05-28-2010 04:13 AM

Is that the show that was on monday. Where that one chick got the job offer but denied it for love, but then her lover took the job? If so then sometimes. I like 2 and a half men. I love the big bang theory though.

@format- Taylor played Jacob. he also played Shark Boy in the adventure of shark boy and lava girl. Robert Patternson played Edward in twilight and Cedric Digory in Harry potter.

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 04:14 AM

never watch that

Hermes 05-28-2010 04:14 AM

A normal plot will go intro, initial incident, rising action, climax, falling action, denouement.
So far in Twilight I've reached.... intro? The characters have been introduced. I suppose you could say the action is rising as they get more in love, but there was absolutely nothing I could call an 'incident'.

sad_girlformat 05-28-2010 04:16 AM

@hermes: haha, that's true. there is the action though. a little.... but it skips everything else~ = =

Arikana 05-28-2010 04:17 AM

I find it amusing that since the Twilight series, there have been a lot of vampire novels sprouting up everywhere. And they all wonderfully help with sating my love for fantasy stories. <3
