***The Ultimate Twilight (the movie) Thread***

[Scotch]

I suffered my way through the first movie because my friend is one of the actors in it.
The next time I saw him I punched him for the pain he caused.

Hit him again for me for all the fanboy and teenage girl uberdorks I've had to endure too, will ya?

From wiki:

Cover

Stephenie Meyer has stated that the apple on the cover represents the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis. It symbolizes Bella and Edward's love, which is forbidden, similar to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as is implied by the quote from Genesis 2:17 that is quoted at the beginning of the book. It also represents Bella's knowledge of what good and evil are, and the choice that she has in partaking of the "forbidden fruit", Edward, or choosing not to see him.[5]

When my wife was reading off the songs that "inspired" Meyer to write this crap, I said one word:   "Emo".   The whole "vegetarian paralleled vampires" is simply laughable as well.   

Troll or not, I still call my wife "gay" and get the rolling eyes from her.

People being edited for rule number 4 (trolling etc) in a thread where the admin praises the OPs powers of trolling is hilarious.

The admin did not praise the OP's power of trolling.  The admin is impressed with how many people will come into a thread they do not want to exist and post in it.  i.e. "bagging the limit", requiring me to come in here and nanny the thread because of people who have no respect for the forum posting rules.

I guess I'll have to explain myself better in the future.  It did not occur to me people would take this in the worst light possible.

It seems the OP controls a rather large contingency of people on this board. 

Enough people want to discuss the topic, so it cannot be a troll.

Essentially, the same thing.

I have gotten a huge laugh out of this whole thing.

Actually, no it is not the same thing.  Had it been an actual troll, the people would have hit the "report to moderator" link.  Instead, a few come into the thread they do not think should be here, and then make abusive remarks about the OP, knowing full well they are violating the forum posting rules.  I mean, coming into a thread they call a troll, and then making a derogatory remark at the OP.  Pot, meet kettle.  They are the ones who are in the wrong here.

There are also some who are actually trying to discuss the topic.  Just because it is not a favorite topic, does not make it a troll.

I haven't seen it, but I am interested in seeing it. I was thankful to hear that there was actually a teen-safe movie out there that apparently didn't overflow with sexual inuendo. It's hard to find a kid-friendly movie these days... they're either 8-year old Disney style, blood & guts or skanks with their boobs hanging out the entire thing.

He is a self proclaimed troll. He has admitted as much on another board. He does this sort of thing repeatedly on that board and it is entirely for his own amusement.

You are correct that those making abusive remarks are in the wrong, there can be no argument there.

Still, those that can't help but come in and look at an obvious troll remind me of those that can't help but slow down and gawk at a car accident make me laugh. Probably because I am one of those that rubber-neck at accident scenes as I pass them.

My wife and daughter love this movie. I think it's just gay the way they go against all the established vampire lore, you know.....sleeping in coffins, sunlight being deadly etc etc.

I do not doubt that.  Typically a troll is a post which illicits controversy via extreme points of view.  This is one mild mannered thread, if you remove the ones who just came in here to attack the OP.  It is also a thread where there are people who seem to like to discuss the topic and are discussing it with a reasonable level of respect.  I wish I could say that for all threads on this board.

I cannot afford to label people on the board.  It removes or distills objectivity.

My wife has watched the DVD..  I kid you not.. at least 40 times.  I've seen it.. once was enough.  Not a bad movie.. but certainly not one to live by.  Heck.. my 12 yr old daughter quit watching it everytime..lol.

Seriously....no need for you (or me) to label this one, he has done it himself already.
