      I like Anna Kendrick and all but no, that’s not really a good enough reason to sit through Twilight. The only reason I’ve seen it is because I happened to catch the RiffTrax version where they make fun of it the whole time lol

        I think I watched that rifftrax. Is that the one where her dad says ‘sit down, have some plaid’? I quote that like once a month

          Sounds plausible. The quote I always use is “LIIIINE!” from the dinner table scene where the camera jumps back and forth between them but they don’t speak for like 5 minutes.

        I got stuck watching the first movie because of a woman I was into. That shit sucked so badly. Don’t want to watch again and definitely not rhe rest either.

          Every twilight fan I’ve met loves the wack. I have never met anybody who wholeheartedly loves the series as a true romance. They see it as a Romeo/Juliet with glitter vampires and how the series/actors never breaks kayfabe. And once that clicked, made me understand.

          I had a good friend who was a super fan (she has since rewritten history and denies it but she had a bookshelf—read: shrine—devoted to them) and she made me watch the first one with her. I didn’t know about the whole sparkle thing so when that happened I burst out laughing and she got pouty, lol. Still love her.

          I had the memorable experience of watching the first movie in the theatre’s. When the apple scene happened a bunch of teenage girls started ooohing and aaahing and I laughed so hard. Then one of my friends smacked my shoulder. I have no regrets.
