How many people...?

how many people are annoyed with with everyone talking about twilight?

it's just a book that they made into a move...

if you agree with me then post something here

Can't say I'm annoyed. Never heard anyone talking about it

I am. My friends won't shut up about it.

I think it's one of the silliest books I've ever heard about.

My sister is reading it right now. It seems to be some story written for emos.

I just googled it. Seems worth a look at, I might grab myself a copy.

I'm not annoyed, it just gives me one more group of people to make fun of.

moved to misc. entertainment.

The movie is just downright terrible. A cliche. Definately funny how I died after 5 minutes.
I laughed at the part when the girls in my class said it was going to be better than the Dark Knight.
I then said Joker would kick Edward's ass.
They shut up.

I think it's both a good book AND movie. It sure doesn't beat Harry Potter, like everyone says, though. I've read the series and found it to be pretty enjoyable.

The people you hear talking about it are probably just girls who wouldn't be able to stomache a really good book, talking about how hawt and shmexy Edward is. I don't talk about it too much, and the people I talk about it with are intelligent people who care about things that don't involve selling your soul to a supposedly perfect vampire.

... Okay. And? Whatever Meyer's personal opinions on Proposition 8 are/were, that has nothing to do with anything about the books. And money going to the Mormon church has/had nothing to do with getting anyone to vote yes.

I admittedly haven't read any of the books. But this is because I picked one up, looked at the back, read that is was a completely serious love story set in high school with vampires and realised that I didn't want to touch that with a seven mile rake.

I have, however, borrowed a copy from a friend, and if I can bring myself to read some of it I'll surely post my findings!

if anyone thinks i saw the movie or read the books, i didn't

just so people know that

I have a couple of friends that like the books, but said that the movie was atrocious.

I honestly can't say that I'd like to read or watch it. I don't think that it's something that I'd get into.

then how can you have an opinion on it

but anyway, i thought both were great. the book is like, what, 600 pages or something? of course the movie has to be awkwardly compressed, so there's a lot to talk about with it

and there has been so much promotion for the movie that there's no way the millions of fans could shut up

I have not read the book, so I don't know how good it is. However, like you, I am absolutely sick of people telling me to read it. The whole theme is just not something that grabs my attention... I'd prefer, say, a physics textbook or perhaps the newspaper. Speaking of which, I read today that the movie for this book really stunk: too bad, because now I cannot go see the movie and at least have something to respond with when yet another person askes me about Twilight. Oh well, it will eventually pass.

Um, terrible opening for a thread, but I can say I'm aggravated...

So many different people are getting into the book. They have no idea what vampires are or even the background of them. they won't even pick up a real book, fantasy or not. In order for them to pick up a book, I guess it has to be about some Vampire dude that is basically trying to get into a human woman's pants, instead of trying to feast on her.

Don't get me wrong, I love romance, but honestly, this book is just pathetic...

And the fact that they are making a HUGE corporate buisiness out of it is depressing. You walk into Borders, and right in the entry is GYNORMAS display of Twilight merch. From shirts, to hats, to posters, to little tea cups and coffee mugs, to blankets, to fliers, to the actual book, etc, etc, ****ING ETC!!!

It's annoying because I know the company isn't selling and manufacturing this merchandise to please the masses. It's only doing this because they know they can make money on it because people will buy things that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the book, as long as it has the title of "Twilight" slapped on it...

It's pathetic.

the main topic is that i am tired of people talking about it too much, not whether it is good or bad...

The only thing I know about it is that some girl falls in love with a vampire. If I was as interested in vampires as I used to be, I'd be all over it just because of the vampire.

I never felt like looking more into it, though.

People are telling me I should give the book a chance because I never read any of them. They say, "You might like it" or "To each is own". But one thing is certainly a problem:

STEPHANIE MEYER CANNOT WRITE IN ENGLISH!!!

Has anyone noticed that all her writing entails is ridiculous metaphors and poorly structured grammar? That's what turned me off about this book was the overwhelming lack of anything grammatically correct, or a decent sentence with a good description of anything.

And what's with the cliche? Girl meets a vampire, falls in love with vampire, and vampire doesn't drink human blood and hates to live forever? Gee, originality is a constant drag for the author, it seems.

And don't even get me started about its lack of plot and sheer unrealism (and don't dare point out the irony in this sentence, either).

But it does prove that Mormons can't write a decent book if their life depends on it.

so, I'm probably guessing you are annoyed with people talking about it (or keep telling you to read it)...
