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

you almost saved me from watching it until

RiffTrax version

now i have to!

I will say, the RiffTrax stuff was so hilarious that I ended up watching all three films like that... I wouldn't recommend attempting it any other way though lol

i just found the whole trilogy available on the high seas premixed, so i dont even have to slog through mixing the audio myself!

[–] MrJameGumb 5 points 3 weeks ago

That's the same way I watched it lol

Same here, i've seen all three because of riffrax

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.

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.

Same I laughed so hard, well lets just say she was not happy with me.

Plot twist: it was the same woman

[–] Fredselfish 4 points 2 weeks ago

If she lives in Oklahoma then maybe.

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 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.

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

[–] derfunkatron 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.
