Stephen King pwns Stephenie Meyer FGJ (Now the general "Twilight Sucks" thread)

[Max Payne]

What Ryu is saying, is that the movies are the anime. All animated versions of D are feature films.

EDIT: BEATEN

 

[Ryushikaze]

OH.. I thought you meant the movies was in anime form and therefor the same

So it's just the two movies? that's all?

That's all that's ANIMATED. There are still the 10+ Novels and Manga adaptations thereof.

 

[Eerie]

Generic gothic emo vampire wankery bullshit is dead. It's had it's time.

Now people just need to move the fuck on and try something new.

People should try the World of Darkness.

But then, if they come from Twilight, they'll probably be finished halfway through a party, the other players finding ways to get rid of them - oops, my fangs slipped, so sorryyyyyyy XD

I only read excerpts from Twilight, and my brain didn't want to compute. I read all the wank though, and that was truly hilarious XD
I still dont understand the comparison with HP. HP is certainly not the best literature, it has its flaws alright, but it's still on another league compared to Twilight

If anything, Twilight would be the equivalent of a Z serie XD We have a word for that in French, it's nanar XD Except, in books instead of an actual movie

 

[Interslicery]

and yet people picket E3 cause of Dantes Infero cause it "glorifies hell" instead of release of destructive shit like this

 

[Hawkeye.]

OMG anyone compares D to Twilight needs to die in a goddamn fire.

It won't work. They'll just sparkle.

 

[Ravynne Nevyrmore]

No it couldn't have. There's no potential way a vampire stalker can be made into a good book unless it ends with him eating his victim.

This. Someone in one of those comments said that Twilight with all its idiocy would have been an awesome book if it ended with the plot twist that Edward ate Bella and it turned out that all her TRULUVOMG was just the vampire's way of ensaring victims.

Someone should rewrite the ending IMO.

Well what I meant by separating the movies from the anime I guess, is that most anime movies don't have much to contribute to plot and can be watched on their own without knowing the anime.

The term you're looking for is OAV, which connotes that more clearly than "movie."

 

[Super Mario]

Yes, this video shows it all.

 

[paoo]

LMAO! XDDDDD

 

[namakemono]

BWAHAHAHA.

Srsly, why do so many girls think he's hot?

Fucking anemic stalker who's old enough to be your great great great great grandfather. <_<

 

[Super Mario]

Remember gents, wear all black, emo hair and have stalkerish tendencies and be a douche bag to the girl initially. That'll definitely win her, in Edward Cullen's style.

 

[namakemono]

Is his hair even emo? It just looks like it wasn't combed for a hundred years.

 

[paoo]

It TTLY sucked that Robert and Kristen got prices on MTV Movie Awards just because of the fangirls. >->

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

People should try the World of Darkness.

You mean the roleplay? Cos my SO is into Vampire and Mage (...and occasionally Changeling) like crazy.

 

[Tennyo]

lawl That Deadpool PSA was awesome.

 

[Eerie]

You mean the roleplay? Cos my SO is into Vampire and Mage (...and occasionally Changeling) like crazy.

Is there another World of Darkness I'm not aware of? XD

*iz moar into the Dark Ages though XD*

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

I have no idea. But I think actually coming up with a complex and intriguing character would be too much of a chore for the average Twitard.

 

[Eerie]

Well, usually my basic characters are.. basic. It's afterwards that they become tortured, given what they see XD

I'll remember a long time though, my Malkavian with split personalities and me rolling a dice for each new day to see who would come out Fun times, indeed - especially when the lazy one would come out, my friends would be like, oh fuck XD

Maybe it'd make the average twitard grow though... one can dream XD

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

I think they might be disappointed by a lack of romance while playing it. But some of the smarter ones could probably do okay.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I read this link - http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1834663,00.html, and it explains a lot.

All I can guess is that when I write, I forget that it's not real. I'm living the story

Explains why Bella thinks Edward is so dreamy and she's never fully described. They were written to be that way so it's easier for Meyers to put herself into Bella's place in her idealized fantasy version of herself. Rob Pattinson better watch himself around this psycho.

I didn't write these books specifically for the young-adult audience. I wrote them for me....I know that it's not just that I'm a 15-year-old on the inside!

No, but she'd like to be. Self-insertion fanfics suck, then you write one (BTW, I actually did write one, and it *did* suck).

I always write things that entertain me, and one of the things that I find really enjoyable to explore is the idea of love....It fascinates me.

Like a bare-chested seraph reclining on the morning dew, Meyer immerses herself in a sea of melodrama as devoid of plot as Bella is of character flaws, fascinated by the bullshit she can hock to the hordes of depressed fangirls who'll buy anything with a semi-cute guy and call it a masterpiece.

Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don't know that I'm an example. I hate to say, "Yes, look at me. I'm a good example of being Mormon"

Yes, she *is* a good example of being Moron.

The only time I really did any research on vampires was when the character Bella did research on vampires. Because I was creating my own world, I didn't want to find out just how many rules I was breaking.

She also broke the 11th Commandment - "Thou Shalt Not Publish Bullshit". Seriously, wtf? What type of author writes a story based on a well-known and popular legend and plays pick-and-choose with the details to suit their own ends? Wait, we know what kind - the kind that can't write to save her life.

I didn't plan to start a new career when I did this, and it took a lot of courage to send out those query letters. I sent 15, and I got nine rejection letters, five no responses and one person who wanted to see me

So it took her 15 letters before someone listened to her, explains a lot. This should have been a hint. I guess Bill Clinton on the Simpsons was right: "If thinks don't go your way, just keep nagging until your dreams come true".

If you were a vampire, what would your special power be?

I have a hard time imagining that I would have one. I think I would just be happy with not having to sleep and not aging. That would be kind of cool.

Is the published bestselling author having trouble imagining something? What a lameass. Well Meyer, thanks to your self-insertion fanfics you won't have to age, You/Bella will live on forever in the hearts of fangirls that do exactly what you do - read the books and put themselves in Bella's place.

And BTW, if I ever find out where you live, I intend to publish it somewhere on the web. Then "never sleeping again" will come quite naturally to you. For better or worse, I'm sure people would pay good money to find you.

----------

Also, a couple questions. So, Vampires can go in sunlight, but they don't die, they go all sparkly. So, doesn't Edward try to kill himself via sunlight in a book? WTF?

And does *anyone* here find the idea of Edward being cold, pale and like stone, appealing? Yeah, whoop-dee-do Bella, you're kissing a walking corpse, congrats. Bella should try necrophillia, at least then she knows she won't get used and tossed aside randomly - she'll be the one doing that.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Is there another World of Darkness I'm not aware of? XD

*iz moar into the Dark Ages though XD*

There is the massive f'ing gulf between Old and New WoD. I hate hate hate new changeling.

I have no idea. But I think actually coming up with a complex and intriguing character would be too much of a chore for the average Twitard.

THINKING... you know where this is going.

 

[Eerie]

True that, Ryuu. I'm more into the old one - never played the new WoD, I've never been too much into current timeline WoD anyways XD Hell, I'm more a Vampire player anyways [I have a mage who's still stuck in a temporal loop though XD]. I think Dark Ages always allows more fun, that's why I prefer play in those ancient ages XD

@Drake:: every time I read interviews from her, I keep thinking that this woman and what she wrote are exactly what should not be done. Seriously. I advise anyone who wants to write to read her interviews and explanations of what's going on in her book with some excerpts to absolutely AVOID this kind of behaviour while writing XD

 

[Max Payne]

and yet people picket E3 cause of Dantes Infero cause it "glorifies hell" instead of release of destructive shit like this

That was a publicity stunt staged by e3 to promote the game.

Agreed. At times it sounds like she just made up the story as she went along, which is not how you should write. And if you're going to write about legends and history and the like, you should do *some* research about what you're writing about, not just pick and choose your facts.

I once wrote a fanfic that dealt with real-life historical character. And unlike Meyer's self-inspired vampire mythos, I didn't make them up. I researched the people I was writing about and the time they lived in to portray them fairly. If you're going to write about something and twist the facts to suit your own ends, then don't write about it.

And as she herself says, she doesn't like her writing to be criticized and writes for herself. I respect that, I do, if you can't enjoy what you're writing then it will come out horribly as opposed to writign something to do enjoy. But if you don't want people to not like what you write, then don't publish it!

And also, yeah, all this so-called "leaked" scripts and info and shit stinks of a publicity stunt. Same old story in Hollywood, nothing is "leaked" accidentally, if someone comes forth with information previously unknown, they were probably paid or told to do it. If there were really people in Hollywood leaking classified info without permission, they wouldn't find work.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

What's sad is she wrote a long book where the vampires have all of these crazy abilities and her self-insert has the bestyest coolest power evah. Also she's pretty. And wears prada while hunting. So technically, we already know what she'd like. Being skinny and gorgeous forever.

seriously? well damn I feel had
