Twilight Related ANGST

[elleflies]

Twilight has hit the planes: as a movie we are playing for the troops as they go home.

Haven't they suffered enough?

Of course I found out this information whilst standing in Cabin A in front of all our passengers and apparently I could not control my reaction to the point that the first 8 rows of the plane were cracking up.

Apparently I have very strong Twilight related feelings. None of them positive.

Although I do like that one soldier called it the Dawson's Creek of Vampire Movies (very true) and when I passed him quietly confided that he had seen the movie and could I please not pass that information around as he found it embarrassing.

So, not only did the passengers get me started on a Twilight rant (and laughed at every minute of it) I carried that rant into the forward galley where I proceeded to tell my coworkers all about it (until they escaped to other galleys) and having a captive audience in the cockpit ended up unburdening myself on the subject up there.

I don't think they knew what hit them.

It's going to be a long long 2 months of Twilight related rants methinks.

*CRACKS UP*

HOW CAN YOU RESIST THE SPARKLES?

I'm going to see Twilight for the second time on Saturday. With three people: another girl and two blokes, one of whom has never seen it before. THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

The sparkles are part of the problem. I mean... THEY SPARKLE. Vampires should not do such things...

Of course, a good portion of Cabin A did not know this fact so I did have a great time telling them all about the Vampires that Sparkle just because the looks on their faces were oh so priceless.

Enjoy their reactions. It will either be "OMG THIS IS THE BESTEST THING EVAR AND TEHY LOVE EACH OTHER SOO MUCH" or "JESUS CHRIST WTFBBQ?"

We talk about Twilight a lot at astrosoc, so the bloke who hasn't seen it will probably be disappointed at the lack of baby-eating.

I love telling people about Twilight. I can still horrify people, even after they've heard a lot of the stuff.

Also, A STORY THAT BROKE MY BRAIN. Someone at astrosoc's friend's girlfriend saw Twilight and got SUPER OBSESSED and OMGSPARKLES EDWARD YAY. The works. And apparently she asked her boyfriend to STICK HIS BITS IN ICY WATER SO HE WAS LIKE EDWARD.

We were DYING in the pub when we heard this story.

I usually end up arguing with those who've already seen the movie and think it's so romantic. (If that's romance, I believe I'm justified in keeping an AK-47 by my bed and calling it love taps... or something)

STICK HIS BITS IN ICY WATER?!

*looks up to confirm that I did read that right*

People like that really do exist... *gapes*

I really want to laugh at it, and I am giggling but that poor guy. His girl sees a movie and suddenly he's got to stick his man bits in icy water...

Sarah told me this story and nobody else was listening and I was literally sitting there gaping at her and everyone else was like "what the hell did Sarah say to make Opal speechless?" so the story was told to the larger audience! XD

Poor, poor you! *hugs*

I haven't read the book or seen the movie. I'm hoping to avoid, if I can.

LOLz. I can just imagine how the troops would react to Twilight. SSG McGee (from my internship)'s favorite movie is "I am Legend." He'd probably try to hunt down the Cullens.

Also, I'll be in NYC sometime the week of 3/23~30. If you aren't jetting to exotic locales throughout that week, I'd love to meet up!

I would pay good money to watch the military hunt down and DESTROY the Cullens. I'd be the one in the background waving the giant number 1 finger and egging on the Cullens whilst the military CRUSHED them.

Granted, I have seen troops reading that book. But almost all the people reading the series have been women. Which kinda almost makes me ashamed of my sex.

I'm gonna miss you! *sobs*

WTF?? Why are they showing the sparkly shit to the poor people who never leave a golf course's sand traps??

...I think I need a drink.

And if you think you can't escape Twilight, imagine going to the comic book store and finding the huge cut-outs staring at you. My reaction? "Oh, Christ. Make Twilight go away."

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

They really do not think about what soldiers will like when they choose the movies. It goes more along the lines of "new release?! Woo! Shiny!"

Although, I have seen plenty of Soldiers/Airmen/Seamen/Grunts reading Twilight. Almost all of them have been women.

Twilight does not belong in comic book stores. It should be anathema there.

[veracity]

But...but...if they want a new release, damn even Chris Rock is better. *sigh* Twilight is too mindboggling for people who live in Mind Boggling Central.

Oh, lord. Well, if it's help, my nifty college educated police officer neighbor? Is in love with the series. I have no words. I mean, she named her dog after Tom Sawyer...and she loves Twilight. Like she thinks something good's gonna happen even though she's seen the movie.

No it doesn't! And those cutouts are like...6 feet fall! So wrong. So, so wrong.
