Rumor has it the movie's actually quite good. And's midnight showing numbers were ridiculous, like 20 million.

The movie was frikkin' amazing, I went to the midnight session on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. It was epic, and I haven't even read the book yet.
|
<3 I'm going to see the 10:30 showing with my mom tonight. We're very excited. Gonna go line up for it at 9 because we have no life hahaha. We both read the book last year and finished off the series in January so we're still pretty into it. I kind of wanted to read the book again before seeing this but I lent it to my roommates to read instead so I can go see the movie again with them if I want to. :'D

Does anybody actually think that Twilight is good? I thought it was more that they thought the boys were hot...
|
I haven't read the book. So, that's partly why I don't feel compelled to watch the movie.
But, I also don't really want to read the book. What little I know about the concept just seems so outlandish to me. I don't think I could suspend belief that much to feel absorbed in that world. I'm sure it's good. But, idk, just not that intrigued by it |
Quote:
Yeahh, I just went ahead and judged the book by it's cover on that one. |
The cover is pretty indicative of what you get anyway :P

|
Yeah but I meant they thought the guys in the books were hot too. It's the reason the actors were chosen as they were lol. I've read the books and the romance and sexual tension... it's basically porn for 15 year old girls.
|
Just because something's mainstream, that doesn't automatically make it bad. And vice versa. Things gain notoriety (This kind of notoriety) for a reason.

I probably wouldn't be so opposed to the Twilight series if every women in my life didn't talk my ears off about it. God, I even used to date a girl who would shove the books down my throat every time we spoke, to the point where I wanted to burn every copy of the book I saw. |
You know the greatest thing about Twilight? Robert Pattinson. He's the guy who plays Edward in the movies and if you see any interviews with him or whatever, it becomes instantly clear that he absolutely despises the franchise. He must be a PR disaster but it's so, so funny. My roommates and I have started watching the Twilight movies with the director's commentary since he's in some of them and the whole time he makes fun of it, ruins the mood, and just cannot take it seriously. It's so funny and whether you like the series or not (and especially if you don't), it's worth watching that way just for him. :P

I didn't mind Twilight, to be quite honest.
|
Wow I might have to watch that, it would be funny. I dont mind Twilight. I read all the books. I think the movies are bad, though. I didnt see Breaking Dawn Part 1 though.
|
There's always much, much worse.
like mlp! |
Since Hunger Games ain't an anime, the only other things that would convince me to see it would be copious amounts of car chases and/or gun fights. Somehow, based on the description, I don't think these elements would be present in the movie, either.
|
I always said Twilight was one of the dumbest things ever made, and I've never seen it. Then the first movie was on one day and I watched it; and I was right, it was stupid. :\ The Hunger Games looks kind of interesting. I didn't even know it was a book until after I saw the movie trailer. D; Don't really know if I want to see it, though.
|
Aw dude human chases? And it's called "The Hunger Games?"
That makes me uneasy. |
^ It's basically survivor with teenagers, and they kill each other.
|
Sound like my family!
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w492/ImACello/images.jpg ... *Ahem*, Perhaps I should just stick to.... posting. Speaking about survival, how bout that Walking Dead? |
The Walking Dead may be the greatest show ever not named House M.D.
|
I see what you did there! House is cool, he doesn't play by the rules.
Those zombies are jacked up though. I would not be able to withstand the zombie apocalypse, though I think I am smarter than those guys in the sense that I wouldn't drink water that had a zombie in it. Yeah, I think i'd end it if life ever boiled down to zombies. |
House is awesome, but it totally distorts the Healthcare field. Basically it's an American patients wetdream until they realize they have to pay for all those operations and tests. xD
But yeah the Walking Dead is awesome. I hope World War Z is also just as awesome when the movie comes out. It's been 6 years already! ;-; |
Guys there was a huge thunderstorm here last night
|
Quote:
|
I was stuck with the same weather. D:
It rained/stormed all night and is still raining even. At least I got my yard work done! |
lol @ all of you. The weather here has been absolutely lovely lately. I need to get my tennis racket out soon. <3
|
Oh god, the Thunder is back. IT KEEPS HAPPENING.
|
Whaaa you don't like that? I love thunderstorms, haha. Idk why but I've always liked lightning and thunder and stuff. Seems fun in a weird way.
|
I think it's OK at night when there's not much going on, but early Saturday morning i'd rather be outside walking or something. :(
|
I love thunderstorms!
/has an affinity for electricity and stuff |
Its raining here, that means no walking for me today :( Oh well.
I like thunderstorms as well. I like listening to thunder, I think its a cool sound and I like seeing lightning( unless it struck my house that would be bad) |
I like how lightning looks as well, though I have a phobia of lightning when i'm driving. I'm scared it will strike my car and I wont be able to get out due to the electricity running through it. x]

I'd do it for free. It looks pretty cool and if I'm assured I won't die then why not, lol.

----- I would step into that cage for free too lol. I love starring death straight in the face. |
You couldnt pay me enough money to do that 0_0 it would be so scary.
|
I think if the camera panned around that poor fellow we'd see his pants would be a little on the not-dry side.
They could have at least made the cage a bit larger so that if you sneezed you didn't die. |
But isn't the thrill a part of it? Hahaha. Still wouldn't do it though.

That's a pretty scary proposition. Unless I wrapped myself in Rubber I won't do that. :(
|
I think that cage is like an electric chair thing I saw a few years back. It wasn't the killing electric chair though, more like one that gave you a few shocks per each quarter you inserted. I didn't volunteer though, lol. But one guy did. He sat on the chair for like 2 seconds, after which he jumped on the ground twitching and stiff. Lol it was so crazy.
|
My middle school science teacher loved messing with a Van de Graff (sp) machine in his classes and freaking us out. :(
|
My middle school science teacher was into classic sports cars, raising baby ducks, and... inappropriate stuff with his students. And I guarantee you I'd rather experience the Faraday cage as opposed to the nasty stuff that guy did.
|
Quote:
|
Well it depends - was he old and nasty or young and decent-looking?
OHHHH wait you said middle school never mind... I was thinking high school student with young teacher, which wouldn't be so bad if both parties consented lol |
Middle school is too young... even with other middle schoolers. lol

It's Andy's sick, twisted, and overly teenage mind. Just ignore it.

ew, I know of students getting to third base with each other... in class...
but never student-teacher (apart from Glee)... eyuk |
A teacher being in a consentual relationship with a student, provided the student was like... 17 rather than 11, is hardly the worst thing in the world lol. Maybe not appropriate as far as preferential treatment goes, but there are far worse things people have done. Whenever there is stuff on the news about students getting with teachers I'm like "so? Was she raped?? No? Alright mind your own damn business" lol
|
Evidently that happened at my school the year after I graduated with my French teacher, lol
|
Sometimes some people are not what you expect.
Changing the topic to something more... OK, I guess, and I just donated $10 to PC. |

To answer some questions about my teacher...
He was in his early 50's at the time, so he was much too old to be doing stuff like that with 12-13 year olds. I remember he would ask the boys in the class (those were who he went after) to help him out doing yard work at his house or cleaning the garage where he kept all his cars. I didn't volunteer for it and now I'm glad I didn't. According to police reports, he committed all his offenses off school property, and apparently used his offer of extra pay for weekend work to find his victims. He got busted about two or three years after I had him. IIRC, the judge gave him a slap on the wrist - 6 months in jail plus probation. He violated probation in 2003 and get sent back to jail for a year. Needless to say, he's not a teacher any more. But he is registered as an offender, and to my knowledge still deals in classic car sales. Somehow, he still lives in the same neighborhood where his sick crimes took place. |
I've always been curious about consensual student/teacher stuff and how often it happens, because it's something like everyone knows is a thing but I don't know anyone who's been involved in one and I don't know anyone who's talked about anyone being involved in it.
|
Well apart from particular cases, I think teachers are also very reluctant sometimes to engage in any sort of relationship with a student, even with a minor age difference and consent because it could cost them their job of course, and reputation.
|
^same here. And that also goes for the Employer/Employee thing too.
|
It's way too sticky of a situation. So much could go wrong if word were to get out.
|
Agreed, it's best to keep away from those situations. You can lose your job, it can become a very public issue very fast as well as a court issue.
|
Annywaaayysssssssssss
I think we should augment the topic. Someone make a thread about relationships and authority figures, lol |
I made a thread about it. It would be interesting to debate and discuss.
|
This is more interesting than school/the weather though :(
|
There's a school thread anyway lol.
Ummmmmmm what did everyone do this weekend? |
I MET THE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR/STAR OF MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER AND WENT ON STAGE WITH HIM.
My weekend was awesome. :3333 |
Was at my friend's house uhhh and made dinner lol, didn't do much more than that. OH and I watched the first two episodes of Legend of Korra and started rewatching The Last Airbender!!
|
Quote:
Nah, but I did all that while lazing around in a recliner at my cousin's house. Now i'm spending today finishing up my homework. EDIT: You asked us, but what about you Razor Leaf? :O |
I spend my weekend working and being constantly tired, stressed and depressed, and that looks like what this weekend will be like too.
Gosh I wish I had more time for rest. |
Quote:
Then um I woke up this morning at this friend's house with the worst hangover ever, came back here, got on Msn for a bit and did MORE COURSEWORK YEAHHHHH, and then went to play tennis for the first time in a while. Pretty nice weather again today so it seemed a good idea. And then... just had dinner and now here I am replying to your post. /tl;dr |
RL you have too much of a life to be a PC moderator. :(

Pfffffft! Who says you can't have a life to be on PC? Having a life is fun and so is PC so I do both!

Just put more effort into getting your offline life straight I guess, even if it means leaving PC for a while. That's what I did a little while ago when I was on DLoA. |

Get on our level toujours |

Don't you think it's more important to keep up with your offline life than your online life?
|
Quote:
|
Offline > online, sorry but it's true. Don't delude yourselves.
|
Meh Real Life is more important obviously.
|
LOL since leaving college I have had no offline life... I can't go anywhere because the parents have exclusive use of the one vehicle we have registered, and even if I could, it's a good 20-30 minutes to a town with anything decent to do socially anyway :/
And then there's the whole "I don't have money since I've been out of work for over a year and nobody wants to hire me" issue... |

Unfortunately, for me real life is playing video games or watching tv, so really my online and offline lives really aren't so different lol. |

Online Games > Offline > Online
And by online I mean browsing the web. :P |
CELLO ARE WE JUST A GAME TO YOU
I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL |
W-wait, you mean to tell me PokeCommunity isn't a game?
I demand a refund. >:[ Stupid GameStop. |
I SMELL A CONSPIRACY! DOWN WITH THIS THIEVING COMMUNITY! DOWN WITH IT!
i'm just joking mods plz don't ban me this place means a lot to me ;; |
Quote:
|
But too many people just give up on offline when they could fix it with a bit of work, convince themselves that it's more beneficial/more fun to have an online life than an offline life, and cloister themselves away. ;_; far more than people with real crap offline lives that bury themselves online probably.

|
I have a life both on and offline, and plenty of friends in both. At the same time, some of the friends I've met online mean as much to me as a lot of my offline friends. So I wouldn't consider my online life or friends a "distraction" by any means.
