Any Twilight HATERS??

[Tyler Austin "tiewashere"]

I'm one of them.

Really hated the book.
Was written WAY to much like fan fiction and the characters sucked and were mad cliche.

I have more reasons but don't feel like typing them all.

Anyone else?

-waves hand in the air-
MEMEME! I love to make fun of the commercial everytime I see it.

[tms]

EWW TWILIGHT! That's the worst book ever to be written.

[darkdahlia]

HATE. THAT. SERIES.

I'm being forced to go to the stupid premier. I can understand because the people that are the target audience weren't into Buffy because they were young....but I mean people in their 20's don't need to be reading juvenile drivel like this (which is why i dont get things like harry potter. go ahead with the hate on that one, i get it alot)! I read two pages and was just like"ok I just had a flash back to reading teen fiction books in the library"

I mostly cant stand it because its more or less the same plot as Buffy only in 4 books instead of 7 years and she just has special blood....not slayer powers.

[Danner]

-raises hand-
I don't think I can express how much I HATEHATEHATE that book. I can't stand the characterization, and Bella's passiveness just makes me wanna slap her.

ALSO: Angel is a way awesomer vampire than Edward. <333

[darkdahlia]

for sure! I dont find the character or the actor playing the roll attractive AT ALL. I think he looks really stupid in all the stills.

Like, do you have to look like a 5 head in every scene?

[Iceeh★]

Augh! I know! That guys face creeps me out! D:

And Angel TOTALLY blows Edward out of the water. <333

Personally, I prefer Lestat. Kinda like Spike... but way hotter... more devil-ish.
Well, the Lestat from "Interview with a Vampire" anyway...
He gets kinda emo in the later books... not that much fun.

Never read it, don't wanna read it, but might watch the movie just for doo-doo's and giggles.

I know I should probably give it a chance before making a judgement, but the whole concept of vampires walking around in daylight just puts me off straight away! I mean, come on...Vampire lore since the dawn of time has had them as Night-walkers....thats what they do!!!!

[Joe]

I am NEVER going to read the book in my life (I couldn't even get through the commercial)

They don't walk around in daylight the books...lol

The reason they can't go in the sun is because they SPARKLE. HOW LAME IS THAT?!\

But yeah, they don't go out in the sun.

Awww Twilight the movie. I saw the trailer and sorry to say but it looks pretty good. I nevr read any of the books but still I'll give it a chance. To be honest I thought with the name of the topic that you were talking about this Twilight.

A quote by Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward in the Twilight movie:

Interviewer: What do you think it is about that connection, whether it's the books, or the film, that has people so enamoured with the world of "Twilight"?
Pattinson: There's a thing about the books where... Anyway, when I was reading them -- and, I don't really know how to read it, from a teenage girl, or any kind of woman's perspective I guess, I don't really know why they like it... But what I thought was weird about it and the reaction I had with it was... when I read it, it seemed like... I was convinced that Stephenie was convinced she was Bella and it was, like, a book that wasn't supposed to be published. And you're, like, reading her sort of... sexual fantasy about some... And especially when she said it was based on a dream, and it's like "Oh, I've had this dream, about this really sexy guy!" and she just writes this book about it, and some things about Edward are so specific, like... I was just convinced that... I was like "This woman is mad! She's completely mad, and she's in love with her own fictional creation" and sometimes you feel, like, uncomfortable reading this thing. And I think a lot of people feel that, in the same way, it's kind of voyeuristic and it's kind of like a sick pleasure, in a way.

And if you want, I also have links to various "Spike reads Twilight" fanfics... xD

[Emmie]

enisy, wow that makes me want to read Twilight even less. It sounds incredibly sophomoric. Although maybe I should embrace the "sick pleasure" of it.

What disturbs me the most is that Bella wants to be turned into a vampire after knowing Edward for less than three weeks. Way to send the message to teenage girls that they should change to be with the one they love. That they're not good enough the way they are.

Please raise your hand if you've actually *read* twilight.

[Harmony]

*raise*

and do not hate! awesome book ever.
I'm really glad she wrote the book! and I love your banner kara

[Tyler Austin "tiewashere"]

*raises hand*

It was a glorified fanfiction and I couldn't agree more with the guy that plays Edward's quote.

[Kara]

Ty, can you explain how Twilight is a fan fiction?

[darkdahlia]

ok lets remember that this is a haven for us haters to GET AWAY FROM YALL! don't come in here too!! we've still got two more movies to slowly die through!!!

It is sophomoric. That's why so many people are not into. I think if it were written by a more mature woman, with more mature ideas and realistic time lapses...Id be willing to read it. But I don't want to read a book that talks about how beautiful some guy is. I'm almost at the point where I'm convinced there are only 5 men on earth that are worth looking at lol

I didn't say it was a "fanfiction" I said "glorified fanficiton" as a way of expressing how poorly it was organized and how everything happens PERFECTLY in the books and I'm entitled to my opinion, right Kara?

A fanfiction usually means that something is so outrages and is a FANTASY of what someone would want...which usually means it always ends up perfect.

So can you tell me how Bella thinks that no one likes her yet every guy in school wants her? Does Edward have any bad qualities? Does ANYTHING bad every happen in the first book?

It reads as though an inexperienced writer was writing it (which she was AT THE TIME). I mean, whenever someone says something that makes Bella nervous or strikes a nerve HER FORK JIGGLES...or...SHE SHAKES....people don't really do that. Knots tie inside them, they loose their breathe...Stephanie, even in The Host (which is one of my favorite books) does that with ALL of her characters and it gets annoying. Also, the climax of the story was so random it almost seemed to be placed there to get a fight scene between two vampires knocking into mirrors there. I found it pointless. I mean, I would have been happy with a more realistic relationship between Bella and Edward but I didn't get one...then I got some stupid vampire chase scene that came out of nowhere and was foreshadowed with one sentence...

The only reason I somewhat enjoyed the third book was because something depressing happened to a character...(Jacob).

I also don't like Bella at all. In New Moon, Stephenie created a character that isn't strong...she always needs man with her. Like, she cries about Edward being gone...and then goes to Jacob and WANT TO KILL HERSELF because Edward leaves. Like, I just didn't feel THAT MUCH love between the two. NOT EVEN BUFFY AND ANGEL WANTED TO KILL THEMSELVES WHEN THEY PARTED!

I have more but my hands hurt...lol
