Am I getting too old? Or has the world gone to shit? Because this just crept up out of nowhere, I know there's a book(s?) and that all tickets are sold out until next week. I'm only 21, but am I already out of touch? Then again I'm not a girl, and it seems that 99% of the audience for this, are either moms or teens... or single slightly overweight young women.
Any of you guys going to watch this?
But, if you're looking for a love story with vampires go for this: http://www.lettherightoneinmovie.com/ It's Swedish, and it seems much better.
What's the deal with TWILIGHT?

I don't know either, from what i've seen it's just a crappy teenage vampire film with shitty soap opera acting.
One of my friends is such a fangirl for this. It's increibly embarrassing. Anything with magic or vampires and shit like that in it, she's on like a fly to shit.
The Twilight series is about as blatantly geared towards the female audience as most Current-Gen X360/PS3 videogames are blatantly geared towards the male audience.
When it comes to fanbase and shameless fan(girl)service, Twilight is neither better nor worse than modern high-budget game development.
I loathe the series, the hype, the fangirls and from what I've read, it isn't even well written, but you have to bear in mind that when you bought Gears of War, you're not exactly in a position to mock the 99% female audience that is going to make that movie overtake Titanic in the box office.
"My cousin made me read the first chapter of it, and it was pretty much garbage. It's just a book for young girls and really shouldn't be taken seriously, people are just expecting it to become the next Harry Potter, which it won't."Uh, it already is? The hype around the books and the movies is HUGE.
"bekern said:I really don't think this will get as big as Harry Potter. I just don't think it has the same universal appeal as the Harry Potter books, these books are much more geared towards teenage girls. I'm glad there is hype though, anything that gets more people reading is good IMO..."My cousin made me read the first chapter of it, and it was pretty much garbage.

edit-fixed my post because I read yours wrong
"bekern said:I refuse to believe a prepubescent book about a bunch of bitchy vampires and their girlfriends is as good as Harry Potter."My cousin made me read the first chapter of it, and it was pretty much garbage.

"The Twilight series is about as blatantly geared towards the female audience as most Current-Gen X360/PS3 videogames are blatantly geared towards the male audience.Not every game in the "current gen" consoles is for males. And do you really think Gears of War is exclusively played by men? Games don't have to have pink ponies to appeal to women, they just don't have to be demeaning to women. You should look at some of the statistics in male/female console numbers.

Let me ask you this, how is Pixel Junk Monsters shameless fanboy service?
The book is written by a sexually repressed Mormon woman who had been so closeted that she wrote a book about an affair with a supernatural creature, a rubber-band snap to the completely opposite side of the spectrum. She was a stupid housewife with no knowledge of vampires or any idea how to write a story. She should never have been published, her book is shitty, and she just needs to go back to bearing children and hating gay marriage like the rest of the Mormons.
I love BoG.
My sister and her friends are obsessed with this piece of shit, they can't wait to go to watch the movie tonight.
We saw it on a school trip earlier today. WAY overrated, but still good. 7/10 i guess if you want numbers.
