I don't hate Twilight - but it is kind of pointless. We have become a simple audience and if you love Twilight then I'm sorry but you are easily pleased. There are so many better films out there from the past, ones that actually make you think witness an art.

Most people now days are guided by mainstream culture, its not their fault. Its the money making industry that has developed, and ours for being so simple we all buy into it because we are so bored with our stupid lives. (me included)

I thought twilight was good mainly cus it had a slightly different take on the "rules" of the vampire. Havnt seen the new on yet though but it's probably alright. Tbh there's that many rubbish films that get released you just sit there watch em and take it

I don't know but I could care less about these movies.

On Wednesday I went to the movies with some friends to see 2012 only to see massive lines of teens that have been waiting for hours there. Because of the premiere, the theater replaced the last 2 showings for 2012 to make more room so more people would see New Moon.

We ended up at my place ordering diner and seeing 9 instead.

On a serious thought, I wonder how can parents let their 12-17 years old kids make such a big thing out of a movie (or a book in this case). I mean, we all have waited for hours and create hype for something like Star Wars or the likes but I saw many girls wear t-shirts and boys with "fancy" haircuts.

Also, I found sad grown-ups wearing costumes for Star wars movies or T-shirts for iPhones (or other massive product releases).

*takes a deep breath now*

I think the Dark Knight is one of the those rare films that did well commercially AND had intellectual layers (like we totally know Batman is George W Bush lol), and that was most likely caused by Heath Ledger's death. It will be a few years until we see something like that happen again (unless Avatar can really blow peoples minds).

I don't know much about Twilight but it seems like it is very successful yet everybody hates it. So who are its fans, exactly? Does it have to do something with this Robert Pattinson kid, who I see absolutely nothing attractive in despite being a man secure enough in his masculinity to admit when another man is handsome? I feel like I may have to watch this thing eventually to get what all the hype is about. Trouble is I have no interest in vampires.

I wonder if anything even happens in this movie. I felt really sorry for the suckers that paid $10 to see the first one where nothing happened at all. By the looks of the ratings of New Moon, it's probably just as lame.

I do admit, I kind of liked the second and fourth books. Either no annoying obsessive love interest, Edward, or only half a book worth of dialogue from Bella.

But, seeing how this movie is panning out, it seems as if Edward is still as prominent, unrelatable and annoying, as usual.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
