Now Monk…how did you really feel about her? /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' /> Please, don't hold back… /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Anyhow…

Just one comment…when did tough guy Vampires (or werewolves) get taken over by pasty white, anorexic, not sure if they are male or female looking guys more concered with what type of pre and post wash hair conditioner to use? Geesh…whats next…"Twilight: Midnight at the Hairdressers"?

I guess this might be the best place for this. Let me just say up front that I appreciate the fact that people enjoy and hold different opinions of things then I do, it's what makes this country great, freedom of choice. That having been said let me relay this…

This past Friday afternoon after work, Monkette, two of her coworkers and I all went to see "Super 8". It was the first day of the show and we were all pretty hyped up to see it. Because of the show time (5:10 pm) it was in one of the smaller theaters (I'd say around 300 seats). The theater was about 65% full and a fairly mixed demographic (pg-13) so there were some young uns, but mostly 35-ish on up.

So they began showing the trailers for upcoming movies and just my luck, I get a "preview commentator" sitting behind me. I'd seen the couple come in; they were in their mid to late 50s I'm guessing (but odd people age differently then normal folks… you can laugh, but you KNOW i'm right). They show the Capt America, Green Lantern and Transformers previews to which we get the stage whisper of "Oh for god's sake who on earth is watching this kind of crap? They're just turning anything into movies aren't they, just too many films that don't belong…yadda yadda yadda in this vein blah blah blah". Then we get the previews for Horrible Bosses (nothing). Harry Potter TDHP2 ("What is it with this crap? I mean honestly a boy wizard and his dopey friends? I hear the books are supposed to be wonderful but honestly all the hype for these garbage films? I'll be happy when they're done!"). Zookeeper and Mr. Popper's Penguins and this person begins braying like a donkey at stuff that, I'm sorry, just wasn't THAT funny, but okay not everyone's humor pallette is as diverse as my own. The preview for Twilight Breaking Wind comes on and you'd a thought this woman had been shackled to a sybian and someone was using a hitachi magic wand on her e zones simulataneously at the maximum settings. The carrying on from this woman was unbelieveable. Look I read the books but could only bear watching the first movie and it was only because someone lent it to us…you talk about something bad…..HOLY SHISHKAHBOBS. That stuff STINKS on ice. Honestly. She was swooning when the wolf boy was tearing his shirt off and morphing into his alter ego and the wedding stuff…holy smokes, I thought i was going to need my gallagher front row rain poncho. It was so bad her husband was shushing her in the theater and she was like, "I won't be shushed I'm a twitter, I'M A TWIT!" In that split second, I could only think…WWHAD? What would Heidi Ann Do? Would Pynki just sit here and allow this to go down silently? And then like a madness that exploded from my soul I just couldn't help but respond loudly "you got that right". (I still have a bruise on my leg where Monkette doled out a charley horse). It reminded me of that scene from Team America where the team is being attacked by terrorists etc and they are yelling "WE'VE LOST INTELLIGENCE, WE HAVE LOST INTELLIGENCE!!!"

I'm not saying this because I'm a fan of a Harry Potter, I'm saying this because I'm a rational, relatively REALITY BASED life form in this country on this planet who's had the misfortune of reading that literature (what a let down). It's bad enough that the theory of those books is FLAWED (as Heidi Ann will readily point out, rightfully so) but to have someone that age GUSHING about it so passionately is strange AND creepy. I got no problem if you're like under 30 and you get all worked up about that show, but c'mon. I was half tempted to borrow a concept I heard someone else do on Satellite Radio…when the Twilight trailers come on just start talking out loud about how hot the guys were and booing "The Twitch" (Kristin Stewart) when she comes on or start saying stuff like "that's not for you b!tch" when ever she w/that metro sexual vampire or wolf boy.

In an evening that featured many interesting things the line of the night went to one of Monkette's coworkers who upon the 3 of them leaving the ladies room said (whilest still drying her hands on a papertowel) "sorry for the delay Monk, just wanted to make sure I got completely cleaned up after that idiot woman climaxed all over me during the Twilight preview!" To say I just about wet myself would've been an understatement.

OH GOD! Twilight. I become a raging cu/\/t when I see someone gush over twilight.

Would Pynki just sit here and allow this to go down silently? Here a little story to answer that question, because you know how i love to tells stories if they apply.

I was on the one train a bout a year ago, there were these two women talking one had a book the other had a kindel and the book lady was asking questions about the benefits of an e-reader compared to a book. I was listening in because i was considering buying a kindle myself and wanted to know what features it had. they stared talking about books they likes and getting on nicely, I watched it's rare you see two strangers on a NYC subway having a pleasant in-depth conversation. The book lady then asked the kindle lady what was she currently reading. The answer was Twilight. Anyone who knows me knows how much I despise those books. Now for some unknown reason Twicrap and Harry Potter have been connected. So book lady asked kindle lady if she ever read Harry Potter. The b!tch on the kindle then said that no she saw the first movie and thought it was crap so she never bothered. Enter cu/\/t mode not only did she diss Harry Potter but she then went on to gush about Twilight. So I turn to my cousin and say very loudly. "God I hated twilight. I'm so glad Jacob kills Bella and Edward. That book is so sexiest any women who likes it should be sent back to the '50 where she belongs."

It really is pathetic how so many older women love those books. They really are sexiest in the worst way. I've never been more offended by a book in my life. That whole love story is superficial and obsessive. How anyone could think having someone stalk you is romantic is beyond me. But he's beautiful so it's ok. /rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

After we left the Phillies game last Saturday we went to see Super 8. I looked forward to this movie for a year.

I'll go to the movies about once a week, mostly at off times to avoid the ignorant people.

There are only a handful of movies that I will brave the opening weekend, ignorant filled theater crowd for.

My family is normally not thrilled going with me on an opening weekend, because they think someone will die. lol

Wtf is up with talking, cell phones flashing on and off, people fighting, and kids running around.

All during the previews and the movie.

I always get the kid who has to put his knees on my seat behind me, and push on my seat. This causes me to turn around, and give this person, The Dirty Harry look of go ahead and make my day, with no vocalization needed by me. Stink Eye!

This girl beside me about 25 , just starts talking to me during the previews. of course you guessed it about the Twilight movies.

I make NO eye contact and just smile. I'm awaiting the preview of HP7II. I've watched the trailers about a hundred times, but big screen baby, big screen.

She is still talking and goes into detail about how hot the characters are in Twilight. The HP7II trailer is now over, and I pull my Minerva wand out of my purse and use it to clap with. I'm still not answering this girl, and my daughter on the other side of me is glaring at her.

The movie is ready to start and she is still talking, and says, oh I see your a Harry Potter fan, I hate those movies, Twilight is better.

I turn and look at her say quietly, WTF does Harry Potter have to do with Twilight!

She finally stops talking.

I don't get it, why, why, why, people keep comparing HP to Twilight.

Maybe TB/ Sookie Stackhouse Series to Twilight, I'd get, but HP.

I've been to all the midnight showings of all the HP movies to date. There has been, no talking, no cell phones out, and not a rude person in the theater.

This is true love and respect for the magically journey, and a common courtesy amongst Pot Heads.

I really enjoyed Super 8, had a Stand by Me thing going on. I'm going back to watch it again when the herd thins out.

I missed parts of the film from being distracted.

Despite, 20 minutes on a free HBO weekend (had to change the after I realized it was for Tweens) we are now up to a respectable group of 4 and that makes a quorum. All in favor of Minerva casting an Imperius Curse on ridiculous Twilight fans, say aye.

Make that a group of 5, well, 6 if you count my bf, who's sitting right next to me.

I'm in. Didn't read the books, but laughed my way through the first movie.

Glittering vampires. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Within 20 minutes, into the first film, I thought this girl has abuse issues.

If her mom would of stepped in and set things straight with her, and made a good example, poof, no reason for the rest of the movies.

Vampires Suck, a movie which made fun of the Twilight movies was funny, sick, and twisted. Two thumbs up.

I read all the books and own them all, have seen the movies, and have decided, i can make an educated decision.They are all stupid. I can say I liked the books better than the movies, but thats because i dont think any of the actors can act worth a ****. The story is stupid the characteres are stupid everything is stupid. if you want to see a good vampire movie, Thirty days of Night is it!!!
