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.

The fans of the "forbidden couple" in the fandom you're talking about are just pissed that the two in "Twilight" worked out and their couple didn't.

To all of these whiny, bitchy, crazy people:
Boo-freaking-hoo. Cry me a river and drown yourself in it. Please. I'm so goddamn sick of hearing the term Sparrabeth and all your little bitches about every little thing. You're kind of like the current Republican party. Not everyone in your group is bad, but you few that are (such as the Neo-Cons in the Republican party) are SO bad that you're giving all others a bad name.
Love,
Me


Sorry. I went to see the movie tonight and the theater was PACKED. And if I'd paid that much to squeeze myself into a space too small for a human being to fit in between two other humans in the same predicament for 2 1/2 hours and I'd had someone(s) start bitching all the way through it, I might've had to kill them. You know, just cause. *G*

See, that's just it: I've sat in movies and listened to asinine bitching. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GET UP AND GO OUT AND DEMAND YOUR MONEY BACK. I mean, how craptastic was "A Night at the Roxbury?" These people nowadays have NO idea ... and we didn't bitch loudly through it. We held it in and developed migraines, which is only polite. *G*

"Twilight" I could care less about - I'm glad you found somebody else to go with (or not) because I think "Harold and Kumar" is about my limit of seeing things I don't like just for you. :-P And at least it had NPH.

(Good job on qualifying the "Republican" remark, BTW. I don't want any wars starting in here.)
