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

Now playing in my head: Rumour Has It - Adele.

I hate you.

Mr. X March 23rd, 2012 2:31 PM

I tend to stay away from popular books.

The more obscure, the better.

Not only that, she didn't have to pay a dime because employee screenings are free. lol I was kinda jelly but yeah.

That's kinda rocking my world right now. I think i'm gonna drop out of college to work at a movie theater.

Shining Raichu March 23rd, 2012 3:26 PM

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.

Cherrim March 23rd, 2012 3:32 PM

<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

:( I understand this to some extent but a lot of books become popular for a reason. Why purposely miss out on things that a lot of people feel are good? (I realize this argument goes both ways because a lot of people think Twilight is good.)

Shining Raichu March 23rd, 2012 3:42 PM

Does anybody actually think that Twilight is good? I thought it was more that they thought the boys were hot...

TRIFORCE89 March 23rd, 2012 3:44 PM

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

I don't, but of course I never read it, merely caught a glimpse of the movie here and there.
Yeahh, I just went ahead and judged the book by it's cover on that one.

Shining Raichu March 23rd, 2012 3:47 PM

The cover is pretty indicative of what you get anyway :P

Someone must have thought that the books are good, for some reason I can't fathom. They were popular before the movies came out. They didn't have the actors' appearances to go on.

Shining Raichu March 23rd, 2012 3:55 PM

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.

Livewire March 23rd, 2012 4:32 PM

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 wouldn't say it's so much s the fact that something's mainstream, rather it's the fact that everybody talks about it to the point of where you're sick of it.
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.

Cherrim March 23rd, 2012 4:41 PM

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

Tooons of young girls. :/ I've only met one or two people who really liked the books but they do exist.

Livewire March 23rd, 2012 4:56 PM

I didn't mind Twilight, to be quite honest.

Shiny Celebi March 23rd, 2012 4:56 PM

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.

Livewire March 23rd, 2012 5:11 PM

There's always much, much worse.

like mlp!

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 23rd, 2012 5:38 PM

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.

Tyrantrum March 23rd, 2012 6:19 PM

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.

Cello March 23rd, 2012 6:25 PM

Aw dude human chases? And it's called "The Hunger Games?"
That makes me uneasy.

Livewire March 23rd, 2012 6:41 PM

Speaking about survival, how bout that Walking Dead?

Shinkirō March 23rd, 2012 7:34 PM

The Walking Dead may be the greatest show ever not named House M.D.

Cello March 23rd, 2012 7:44 PM

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.

Netto Azure March 23rd, 2012 11:56 PM

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! ;-;

It's quite sunny and bright here! What on Earth kind of Spring are you having?

Cello March 24th, 2012 6:45 AM

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!

Nihilego March 24th, 2012 6:48 AM

lol @ all of you. The weather here has been absolutely lovely lately. I need to get my tennis racket out soon. <3

Cello March 24th, 2012 7:01 AM

Oh god, the Thunder is back. IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

Nihilego March 24th, 2012 7:02 AM

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.

Cello March 24th, 2012 7:04 AM

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. :(

Livewire March 24th, 2012 7:40 AM

I love thunderstorms!

/has an affinity for electricity and stuff

Shiny Celebi March 24th, 2012 7:41 AM

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)

Cello March 24th, 2012 7:50 AM

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]

Finished the first book today. Yeah the romance was overdone in the final section of the book. All things considered I thought it was a decent read, but I would say the book is over hyped. There are greater stories out there.

I would step into that cage for free too lol. I love starring death straight in the face.

Shiny Celebi March 24th, 2012 11:26 AM

You couldnt pay me enough money to do that 0_0 it would be so scary.

Cello March 24th, 2012 11:44 AM

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.

Oryx March 24th, 2012 11:56 AM

That's a pretty scary proposition. Unless I wrapped myself in Rubber I won't do that. :(

Karma Police March 24th, 2012 12:22 PM

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.

Oryx March 24th, 2012 12:50 PM

My middle school science teacher loved messing with a Van de Graff (sp) machine in his classes and freaking us out. :(

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 24th, 2012 10:42 PM

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.

That's a tad bit unsettling. Hopefully he got fired.

Shining Raichu March 25th, 2012 1:29 AM

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

Alice March 25th, 2012 2:31 AM

Middle school is too young... even with other middle schoolers. lol

I don't get it, why wouldn't that be so bad? Students and teachers shouldn't really be together in any way.

Nihilego March 25th, 2012 2:59 AM

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

Impo March 25th, 2012 3:46 AM

ew, I know of students getting to third base with each other... in class...

but never student-teacher (apart from Glee)... eyuk

Shining Raichu March 25th, 2012 4:14 AM

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

Livewire March 25th, 2012 4:51 AM

Evidently that happened at my school the year after I graduated with my French teacher, lol

Legendary Silke March 25th, 2012 4:58 AM

Tbh I have to agree with Andy here. Who cares seriously lol its hot. Besides, I am 18 now and still in highschool, so I am (and can be) responsible for myself, officially too, and if the age difference isn't outrageous, I really don't see the problem. Who are other people to decide over that lol.

Teachers shouldn't be with students because it's a power imbalance and teachers are authority figures. It's way too easy for a teacher to push a student to do something they don't want to do.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 25th, 2012 10:06 AM

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.

Oryx March 25th, 2012 10:10 AM

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.

Yoshikko March 25th, 2012 10:21 AM

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.

Morning Sun Espeon March 25th, 2012 10:22 AM

^same here. And that also goes for the Employer/Employee thing too.

Livewire March 25th, 2012 10:45 AM

It's way too sticky of a situation. So much could go wrong if word were to get out.

Witch March 25th, 2012 10:49 AM

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.

Livewire March 25th, 2012 10:59 AM

Annywaaayysssssssssss


I think we should augment the topic. Someone make a thread about relationships and authority figures, lol

Shiny Celebi March 25th, 2012 11:04 AM

I made a thread about it. It would be interesting to debate and discuss.

Oryx March 25th, 2012 11:08 AM

This is more interesting than school/the weather though :(

Nihilego March 25th, 2012 11:09 AM

Oryx March 25th, 2012 11:10 AM

I've had a pretty good weekend haha. On Saturday I spent most of the day just hanging out with my girlfriend. It was pretty nice weather so we just chilled on the lawn most of the time... while I did art coursework because I'm reallllly behind in it lol. Hardly romantic but it was still pretty nice. Then I got on PC and Msn for a little while before I went to a friend's house - it was his 18th so we hung around at his for a little while and then we went out to a club which was pretty sweet. I'm amazed I actually got in since I don't look old enough (as anyone who has ever seen a pic of me knows, lol) but I borrowed someone's ID and it was fine. That turned out to be a lot of fun, especially since one of my friends who had a girl coming onto him rejected her. Because he thought they might get married if they did anything. Even kissing. Idek.

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.

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...

I would like to do that, but school and work takes up my day time and any time I have for the rest (which is pretty much really early morning), no one is awake, so I go online. And it's really inconvenient, because I get to talk to people once a week, where it used to be once a day.

For some people that's true, but don't overlook the fact that some people have pretty suck offline lives, I mean in the ways where it's out of their hands. -w-

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.

An online escape doesn't do anything to solve said 'suck' offline lives. It provides a distraction, yeah, but you can't hide on the computer your whole life.

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.

Not seven days a week, when it isn't a part time job, it's school work. Which I'm struggling at because I can't sleep. I almost pass out every single day.
