    i cant even bring myself to be internet-mad at your opinioning

    i just wouldnt ever asked you what you thought about anything because you are a limp noodle of a person

    i need a real man with the conviction to hate on anything that doesn't immediately strike his fancy within the first ten minutes of him hearing about it

    If someone asks me what I think of the Twilight books or movies I'll say I haven't read or seen them because they don't interest me. I won't say they're awful just from watching the trailers or reading a summary.

    Dammit I should have just sat through the whole thing the first time.

    No actually the twilight books are objectively bad. Seriously. They might be entertaining to some. But based on how they are written, they really are just plain bad.

    You can still like Twilight. But the fact remains that it is bad. I am dead serious.

    this is pretty much true

    I haven't read them, but I've read enough from them and about them to know that they violate a lot of traditional rules of structure and language

    although the first movie wasn't terrible, the second movie was so entertainingly bad that I saw it twice, and I've got plans to see the third, sooooooo

    Wanted got a 71% on RottenTomatoes. The Last Airbender has an 8%.

    The thing about Wanted though was that while it was shitty, it wasn't ruining the name of a fantastic franchise.

    Aeon Flux has a 10% on RottenTomatoes.

    But I'm not familiar enough with the site to know how seriously to take it. I guess it is a decent metric for film quality?

    Either way, everybody should be seeing Toy Story 3 seeing as how it has a 99%

    edit: Lordaen, I have not heard one person say anything good about the last airbender. I've head a story about some dumb people liking it. But the vast majority of people have been pissed off about how bad it was.

    Oh man, Transformers 2. I actually didn't hate that movie after it was over because of the amazing IMAX presentation but now I can firmly state it's one of the top 5 worst movies I've ever seen.

    And you know what? TLA will probably end up taking the top spot.

    Man I ain't understand the hatred of Transformers 2

    I paid to see robots beating the shit out of each other and I got it in spades. Moreso than the first. I'm not sure why everyone was expecting Citizen Kane. I was entertained and that was enough. Maybe I wasn't enough of a Transformer fanboy to see things going down in flames.

    I'll admit the action still holds up but everything not robot fighting related in T2 is some of the most awful shit I've ever witnessed.

    The action sequences in Transformers were awful because instead of wide shots so we could actually see what was happening
    Bay went for tight close ups of grey metal moving around other grey metal

    It may have been bad, but it was entertaining enough. Airbender offended every one of my senses to the point I simply didn't care anymore and was literally sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this holocaust of a film to be over. Never has a movie been that bad I couldn't sit and watch it anymore. I was cringing through half of it and wringing my hands with rage in the other.

    Also:

    No Wrecking Balls
    No more of those damn Twins
    No more Robo-chicks
