Since they were pimping out the vampires with bling skin, they should have put some 22 dubs on them bitches while at it. Give them a nice cream candy coated paint job, throw in a sound system, and boom, you got a vampire pimper than eddie murphy.

well i respect all the people who like this kind of movie.. but for me is bunch Cr!@#@!#P .... In my opinion Dark Knight the best

fixed.

14.Bella teaches women to let the man handle everything, which pretty much is a huge step backward for women everywhere, who have fought for equality.

lol ya cause there arent million of woman out there that already live like this. Bella is causing the step backward haha

If you dont like it dont post, i quite liked the first film and im looking forward to this one.

So basically if we don't have a positive thought on the film don't post our opinion and express ourselves? Gotcha.

I can't understand the Twilight craze personally. Perhaps I'd give the movies more of a chance if they had cast better actors.

Seeing as how the third one is going to be directed byt he same guy who did 30 Days of Night it might not be all that bad.

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)

It's called escapism mate. Nothing wrong with enjoying a "simple" film. I enjoyed Transformers immensely and it's giant robots beating the **** out of each other. I also greatly enjoyed Moon. There are still artful films and still ones a lot of people enjoy. Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a bit of escapist cinema.

And as Rappy pointed out, this movie was showing on over FOUR THOUSAND screens. Of course it's going to make a crap load of money. Hell, 500 people going to watch that movie and paying 8 dollars each, which is low, will net about 16 million in revenue - 500 people isn't a hell of a lot. Really, we can't bitch about teen age girls not wanting to watch an artistic film.

Remember that movie from 1927? Wings? Yeah. It wasn't high art either. It isn't just a generational thing.

I've never seen these films but seen loads of trailers and they just don't appeal to me, that actor who plays the lead vampire (no idea of his name) is one strange looking man. Apparently girls swoon over him :blink:

i got dragged to see it y'day. Didnt really get it tbh, nothing really happened, and seemed a depressing film, seemed like the girl could cut her self at any moment, dont think she smiled once even when he was with the vamp, and the vamp looked like he was gona cry every time he kissed her lol.

If this broke boxoffice records why does the film industry say that no1 goes to the cinema any more as they pirate everything now?lol

Hmm?

Twilight is certainly not my taste in movies, i prefer action movies preferably war or war related set in modern time but i dont have a problem with WW2 setting, that said i liked Twilight, all this bashing is boring.

I didn't go to see it this weekend mainly because I didn't want to fight the crowds and mostly because every showing was sold out this week at my local theater. My wife has already started up, wanting me to take her to see it so I guess I will soon do just that to keep the peace.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
