    No I'm not trolling, or flaming, or whatever it is the kids call it nowadays....

    Simply wondering, why do people hate Twilight so much?

    I recently started reading the books, haven't seen any of the movies yet, but I think the books are great!

    Twinkling sparkly half naked vampires, that's why

    The writing style is horrendous and the stories are tedious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 354 ✭✭lila44


    but what's wrong with that? Have you read the books? it's such a small aspect..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,533 ✭✭✭SV


    cos the people who like it are mostly semi retarded teenage girls.
    it isn't all bad though, to be fair..it's just the majority audience are idiots so it doesn't attract anyone else.

    Vampire movies for teeny boppers.

    WTF is there to like?

    Twinkly bland whitebread shite for people who get scared seeing the words "penis" and "penetrate" in the same sentence.

    I don't hate it but feel its too drawn out as a film and boring.
    ...But thats just my taste of it and everyone's different.

    I'm told by the wife the books are much, much better.
    This would not surprise me.

    True Blood > Twilight

    twilight makes all vampires seem to be emo teenagers. true blood...well...IT'S EPIC :cool:

    btw Season 2 will be starting in September on TG4 for all you True Blood fans :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    It's badly written drivel with Mary Sue characterisation and Bella is a Stephanie Meyer self-insert who exists for the sole purpose of living out the Mormon author's monogamous pre-teen fantasies.

    No thanks!

    Penetration of the penis is never good.

    Anyway, it's the boyband of vampire films.
    Teenage girls wetting themselves when some dude appears.

    I hate twilight because it's preteen **** with girls creaming themselves when some airburshed idiot comes on screen.

    because it's a ****ing awful book with a ****ing retarded fandom made up of pre-teen girls.
