JCC So I made this mistake... quick question for Twilight fans

Good times

 

What are "real" Vampires?! I am only aware of the fictional/urban legend variety...which tend to vary in their characteristics depending on the depiction.

 

I've seen the Blade one. This one made me laugh uncontrollably. Clever girl.

 

Ugggh. Yeah because the best thing to teach insecure teenage girls is that they should seek validation in creepy guys who constantly tell them that they have an urge to kill them.

I didn't say it was a good lesson, I was just reiterating the appeal as it was explained to me. I agree its a terrible message to be sending impressionable women.

 

Not to mention that the true love of their lives will hate them, abuse them, and try to control them.
And maybe, just maybe, if they work at it hard enough, the girl can change him.


pfffft. Yeah right. I don't know where that last myth started from, but shame on whoever promotes or supports it.

 

Well, the quote often attributed to Stephen King says it all:

"Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend"

 

Yeah, that's one of the best quotes ever.

Fair enough, but I still don't understand the appeal. I was a teenage girl once, too. But Twilight would not have appealed to me at all then either. I would have been just as contemptuous about it. I mean, my favorite books when I was a teenage girl were Hitchhiker's Guide and Catch-22. Which are still my favorite books

I watched a bit of the first one a while back. It was the part where chick is calling her mom, and apparently the mother gets attacked. She's like "MOM.....MOM......MOM.......MOM"

I was like haha....hahaha....hahahahahah.....hahahahahahahahahahah

Horrible acting and dialogue, but still laugh out loud funny.

 

lol

 

Quite frankly neither do I. As I said that's how it was explained to me, even then I still didn't get it. And due to the interest of previous girlfriends boy have I tried to understand...

 

Sorry, I had to look up to see which episode that was. I frickin' hated that episode. It was totally disjointed and made no sense whatsoever. "Oh, while you were away, I slipped into the house and killed your wife. Oh, she was there because she forgot her purse." WTF? I've seen women so drunk they can't walk, but never one who forgets her purse. They may shlur their shpeach, but they don't forget their purses. It's like... we have this ending, and we're going to put it onto the end of the episode. It doesn't fit, but we're going to put it on anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad for the changes that ending made to the show, but it didn't fit or belong. Season 4 was arguably the worst season of Dexter.

Mind you, the ending on season 5 was wrong too, but didn't feel quite as tacked on.

 

No drunk woman has ever lost her purse. Noted.

 

Lost, sure. Forgotten? not common. Even drunk
A non-drunk woman on her way to the airport? Driving? Pretty Frickin' unlikely.
How many time have you forgotten your purse or wallet when driving somewhere? I'll be generous and up my count to 4. In the last 22 YEARS.

 

Can we poll the women of the JCC? Cuz I have forgotten my purse while sober. I try not to have one when I go drinking cuz I don't trust myself not to forget it.

 

I have forgotten my wallet a grand total of 3 times in my entire life, and they were all because of the pants I was wearing (same pair each time) as they are cut weirdly and make you feel like you have stuff in your pockets when you don't. I keep my keys, buss pass, etc. in there so I can't really get far without it.


Then again, I don't really understand why people carry purses to start with so there you go.



In other news, my dance partner once pulled a prank on me where he told me we were going to see a "surprise" movie and took me inside the theater for one of the Twilight movies when his tickets were actually for the Karate Kid (which I'm aware was also an awful movie, but was astonishingly much more bearable). He timed it really well so we were coming into the theater right as it was starting.

I actually got up and walked out after about 60 seconds. Isabella was saying some mind-blowingly stupid monologue and I literally couldn't take it. I have never walked out of a theater before, and I didn't even pay for the tickets and was there with someone who did, so it was kind of a jerk move on my part. Then my dance partner came out laughing and we went and saw The Karate Kid which might as well have been Casablanca compared to that one.

For reference, I am a big fan of bad movies and have seen everything from Troll 2 to Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus but this was just bad on a different scale, and wholly unenjoyable for me.

 

Have you ever worn a dress?

Let me guess... when you're wearing something with no pockets, you stuff your belongings into a tube sock, right?

 

Don't be silly. That's what jedi utility/belt pouches are for.

 

Have you met Ostrich? She can name a million uses for a tube sock - her most "creative" use is a maxi pad.

I'm not big on purses either. The only time I'll use one is if I'm wearing something with no pockets (which doesn't happen very often).

What does this have to do with Twilight, again?

 

I think you've misapprehended the meaning of the word "arguably". It general connotes something that is widely debated. It generally does not mean "contrary to the vast majority of people who think this is probably the best season of Dexter".

"In the opinion of almost every Dexter Fan I have ever spoken to, Season 4 was the worst season of Dexter. Others mention season 3 as being only slightly worse." How's that?

 

All the fans I've spoken to loved season 4. But more importantly, all the television professionals I know loved season 4. It's probably the best received season critically-speaking. Lithgow certainly received tons of praise.

I think maybe this is another instance of your opinion just tending to go totally against the majority. And maybe you know some random people who are as odd. Surely you're used to this by now

Um, season 4 of Dexter was definitely the best. kthxbye.

Although season 2 is close behind.
