You know, the fact that io9 willingly chooses to cover tween girl dreck like Twilight speaks to the true nature of this website's journalistic standards. Seriously, this is supposed to be a website that covers science fiction, and you have the freakin' balls to put Twilight coverage up here with everything else? How the hell do you people live with yourselves? Like Rainier Wolfcastle, on top of a pile of money with many beautiful women? Because that's one of two explanations that make sense, the other being that the whole lot of you are completely OFF YOUR FUCKING ROCKER.
@theherlihyboy: Dude, we're sci-fi and URBAN FANTASY. I'm no Twilight fan, but I understand how weirdly *big* this is right now and io9 is completely justified in covering it. It takes no effort to scroll past this story and look for something that suits your tastes better.
Just to keep this straight, you're the people who all thought Blade was brilliant, right?
"You give Frost a message from me. You tell him it's open season on all suckheads. "
"You better wake up. The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping! There is another world beneath it - the real world. And if you wanna survive it, you better learn to *pull the trigger!*"
@Lassus: The difference between Blade and Twilight is that the makers of Blade knew they were making dreck. They embraced the cliches of the vampire genre and had fun with them. Teen-girl-trapped-in-a-grown-woman's-bod... Stephenie Meyer thinks her "books" qualify as some sort of serious literary art. She is a thin skinned, overgrown emo who was so butt hurt when an early draft of the final novel was leaked on the net she decided not to ever finish or even publish the last book.
@Makidian: It was directed at both. Stephanie Meyer for furthering the shitfest that is the "sexy vampire" trend and Warner Bros for making a sequel and gaining Meyer even more fame and fortune.
I know. Yep. I wish I didn't know. Ignorance truly is bliss. I still can't quite put my feelings about this into words. When I try, it just ends up being one long sustained wail of NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
oh so now I'm being too snarky? Please you know I love hate Twilight. I make no bones about that. I've always been honest with it. When I saw legit press pictures that is essentially a pack of shirtless werewolves I knew it was more than just a one time thing for me. It's like sucking down a giant pop culture milkshake made up of chewing gum, skittles, dirt and magazines. I will drink your milkshake twilight, I will drink it up.
@crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: For the price of saying just one sarcastic thing per day, you too can help io9 reach the level of snark that makes internet life worth living.
No, it's way after that, when Jesus and the werewolf make up and throw a kickass party together only to have it crashed by those lame vampires that wear all the glitter. Jesus is all "I told you it was wine, not blood, dumbass" and the werewolf gets very angry and turns green and HUGE. And 25.
