I know these aren't amazing movies. I actually never implied that they were. It's just ridiculous how people want to crap on the series and people who like them. Nothing I can really do to stop that, but I will still point out when somebody is being completely ridiculous. I got some good venting out of it at least.

Yup, no need. If you don't like the films don't visit the thread.

I'm not the only one that thinks so because I'm not the only one that has commented on it. Also, the whole necrophelia and beastiality thing is not true. You can try to prove that until you can't type anymore too, but it doesn't make you right. Both are basically a fetish, and you don't see her walking around having sex with a bunch of vampires and werewolves or getting aroused by them. It just so happens that the two people she loves the most besides her parents are those two things, which she finds out after she is already in love with them. I'm glad I could have such a mature conversation. I feel better now.

Oh... get over yourself killowertz! Every human being on the planet has laughed at a joke that uses situational correlation as a technicallity. Everyone that I mention the TWILIGHT + beastiality + necrophelia JOKE to in real life laughs their ass off! Obviously I'm not implying that the main character has these fetishes within the context of the material. However, it's not a far step from the truth. And, that makes it funny. The best stand up comedy focuses on truthful observations. Robin Williams and George Carlin are brilliant examples of the truth being ludicrously funny!

Don't take life so seriously. Step back and let yourself see things from a different perspective. You may not necessarily agree with the new perspectives that you discover. But, at least you can get a laugh out of some of them.

Also, I will openly trash the films and books for what they are; pure nonsense. However, I never have nor will I ever criticize a person for liking them. I will always direct my negative opinions to the material, not its audience. Hell, there are plenty of films/books that I enjoy thoroughly that others believe are rubbish. So, in that regard, I treat others the way I want to be treated. I'm very open to hearing people criticize those films/books. In fact, I often get enjoyment out of hearing differing perspectives. But, if they say that I am defective in some way for enjoying them? Well, that's when I point out that they might want to think about what they are doing.

That slow clap could have several intentions behind it.

#1. It's too early on a Monday morning to be vigorous, so a slow clap is in order while the weekend groginess still pushes its way out of your day. Thus, supporting my view of being a bit more open minded about everything.

or...

#2. You just weren't impressed. -> Please note how this is highly appropriate for this thread given the material of the film in question. Personally, the Twilight series isn't even good enough for me to give it the "unimpressed slow clap" treatment.

It's only subjective if you're close-minded about it. I admit that any films/jokes/etc that I may deem inappropriate or uncalled for, I can still laugh at despite my natural instinct to "be subjective" about it.

P.S. Please note that my "close-minded" statement was left as a generalization and that I was not singling anybody out. It was not a label or a means of personal attack or insinuation.

It'd be funnier if Twilight actually had a subtext of necrophilia or bestiality. It just feels like you're reaching with what you said.
