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.

Honey, there are people who have already DONE THIS in theaters. (And if I were at a movie I wanted to see and someone behind me was doing this, I would totally stand up and pour my soda down their crotch. Really, having met me, do you doubt? *G*)

The male lead does nothing for me. In fact, I sadly have the opposite reaction. Right after "ewww, way too young."
