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.

I started reading the book... I want that half hour of my life back.

I'm not even going to bother with the movie, no matter how unintentionally funny it might be. It'll be on Sky Movies in the next ten or so months, I can wait (and even then I might not watch it).

For me, that's just it - I don't like it, don't want to be interested, so why waste my time? I only go to movies I won't like for my sister, because you know, she's my sister.
