One Mary Sue is much like another

You know, if you're a fan of a "forbidden couple" in your own favorite fandom, I would think the very last thing you would want to do is point and laugh and make fun of teenage girls who love the lead couple in "Twilight."

And anyone who wants to go to the movie to do nothing but point and laugh? Wait a couple of months until it's at the dollar theater. Better yet, wait to rent the DVD. Or buy the book and scream with laughter at home. Let the girls go get their fun out of it first - they're not paying $10 to listen to your "witticisms" and cutting remarks about their taste or relative intelligence. It's an escape - it may not be Chaucer, but it's what they enjoy. I don't believe I would enjoy the books or the movie based on what I've read, but I wouldn't shell out my own money to deliberately ruin somebody else's theatrical experience.

I'm just saying.

And that is why I am here, commenting, instead of annoying some poor kid. Also, my bad movie buddy is far, far away.

In other news I ONLY JUST FOUND OUT THE VAMPIRES SPARKLE. WTF?! Seriously?! What? SPARKLE?!

Twilight has broken my caps and my ?!. And I barely know anything about it.

Their tears are made of diamonds too, DID YOU KNOW THAT.

I don't mind poking fun. I just don't think deliberately going to something you're going to catcall the whole time is the way to go, where there are other fans who genuinely like it. (Not unless it ends up a cult hit like Rocky Horror or something.)
