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.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
