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.

I don't know either, from what i've seen it's just a crappy teenage vampire film with shitty soap opera acting.

I don't know, I had a friend that told me about sunlight making vampires sparkle and all I could say was what the fuck. That alone just seems a bit messed up to me...

This whole thing seems bigger than Harry Potter.

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.

I really don't see why the hell this series is overhyped like it is, then again, I've never read a book in the series.

I admit to liking love stories, but this looks a bit...lame.

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.

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...

I refuse to believe a prepubescent book about a bunch of bitchy vampires and their girlfriends is as good as Harry Potter.
This "franchise" is killing all of our souls. The only thing anywhere in recent memory that was great that involved vampires came out in 1997.

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?

I totally don't understand the hype behind this movie specially on sites like Youtube, it's like people are looking at it and thinking:"Oh look, it's another Romeo and Juliet Movie but with Vampiers, let's watch this".

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.
