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).

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.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
