[Alex]

I was gonna do Harbringer after I ran out of quotes for this guy.

Er, I mean, your words are as empty as your future. This exchange is over.

Spoiler

YOU HAVE FAILED. WE WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY. RELEASING CONTROL.

 

[Alex]

AH YES, "Reapers"

 

[Son Goku]

Then probably nothing that tells a story using Graphics, Music/Sound, Text is art?

Moral of the thread: if you think it sucks, that doesn't mean it's worthless. Otherwise that makes you a giant, pretentious snobby douchebag.

I think we can all agree with the assessment that Twilight is a piece of shit, but that doesn't change the fact that it has moved a lot of people. I won't deny its importance in that regard, though I do continue to be baffled by it.

And if you're gonna be a giant pretentious snobby douchebag - and let's face it, some of us can't help ourselves, I know I can't - don't try and hide behind some straw man fabrication of an argument. Just say my opinion is right, and yours is wrong. Be upfront about your douchiness.

I wouldn't call fans of Twilight 'people'.

Dirt is probably a better description.

Fixed.

Seriously, I know people who like Twilight but are otherwise intelligent individuals who are fun to be around.

Speaking of Twilight: Nothing against the guy, but did anyone *really* give a crap about Robert Pattinson before he was cast as Edward? Media nor teenage girls ever spoke of him, then he's being declared one of the sexiest men alive.

He was Cedric Diggory in Goblet of Fire. It was weird when I heard he was going to be cast in Twilight (yes, I read the book long before the movie was announced )

And coincidently, I know dirt thats more intelligent and fun to be around than some fans of the book. Funny that

 

[Interslicery]

Twilight is art, it's just really really shitty poorly done art.

You could say the same thing of some fans of any series.

 

[Max Payne]

I don't believe anyone that likes Twilight and thinks it's a well written, good story can be that smart.

They might be nice people, but yeah, don't buy it.

 

[Hisako]

He was Cedric Diggory in Goblet of Fire.

And how exactly did they make that a big thing

 

[Geostigma]

I like how no one gave a shit when he died then, i didnt hear hundreds of tweens crying in despair seeing there young robert lying dead and cold.

I honestly believe these stupid children think hes hot because of the stupid glitter lack of thesaurus descriptions made about him in twilight. Without meyer shoveling the bull down your throat that hes hot im sure no one would of gave a damn.

But thats just me.

 

[looneymoon]

Because Edward Cedric is a boring-ass character and no one cares about him (except Bella Harry).

I actually don't think the guy is unattractive. When watching GoF he didn't deviate too much from what I pictured Cedric to look like. Too bad in candids he looks very unkept and smelly. Also, his personal disdain for the Twilight books amuses me.

and back to the topic... uh.... beauty is subjective, like [good] art is subjective! This divergence totally relates

Heh, once the medium of cinema spawned the creation, "Freddy Got Fingered" I think the gates opened for any new form of creative expression to be given a fair shot at being called art.

 

[Hisako]

"Freddy Got Fingered"

what.

is this?

 

[Strangelove]

Oh god, I think my brother actually has/had that on DVD.

 

[Interslicery]

Dont discount freddy got fingered, it has a deep scene where he sees a horse getting milked for its seamen, screams in terror (?) and rushes over to help.
It's a deep social commentary on how we're horrified by the path we see before us in the modern workforce, yet are powerless to stop it.

 

[Tennyo]

So...Roger Ebert has never been to a modern art museum, has he? Where the sculpture is a chair and there's a projector for you to watch?

OMG NOT ART!!!! BECAUSE YOU CAN SIT ON IT!!!!

You can't sit on movies, yo, so a sculpture made with the intent that people would sit on it can't be art.
