baph Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Kristen Stewart is a horrible actress, but I feel that watmm, of all places, should support her. Because she's very obviously "on the spectrum."

Adieu Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Whoa Whoa....Please do not compare Harry Potter to Twilight. Even if you do not care for Harry Potter it is still much much better than Twilight. The Twilight movies are so friggin bad that they are painful to watch. Harry Potter is at least well made regardless of whether or not it appeals to you. I'm not going to comment on the literature though. 50 Shades of Gray is the new twilight btw. It is getting made into a movie series.

chenGOD Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I didn't mind the Harry Potter movies, I mean, they're fine for a fantasy series. It's hardly great literature/cinema though. Never seen or read "twilight", so only know that there are silly teenage vampires in it. sounds gash. but anyway, since I've never seen or read twilight, I can't compare the two.

SR4 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 also, I had no idea The Avengers made it to the top three grossing films of all time. Wow. I guess that's good marketing, bunch of smaller (relatively) movies leading up to the big all-star cast of superheroes. Its really impressive; tons of people Ive known for years who would have otherwise been completely disinterested in this were allured into seeing it from watching all the Iron Man, Thor, etc. movies.

patternoverlap Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 What I'm hoping is that studio movies will reach a critical mass where with increasing revenue, they will amp up the production and advertising budget more and more to where one movie could potentially make or break a studio. Then they let Uwe Bol direct a 600 million dollar movie about Pokemon.

Guest Mirezzi Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've always thought that the overall narrative value of the HP books lies in their depiction and modeling of adult-child and adult-young man/woman relationships. Otherwise, it's the same general "pointless exercise in LCD pandering" to be sure, right? You just pick the universe or setting you find most interesting and dive in head-first. When it comes to the movies, I'd rather spend my time wandering Hogwarts than panning and tilting over the awkward shithsacks passing for high school vampires. As for the books, no thanks. The 16 hours I've invested in watching the movies is bad enough!

Guest zaphod Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) well lotr is mindless shite, so you won't get an argument out of me. anyway my point isn't that you can call these things mindless, or what their inherent value is as art, because they don't have any. my point is shitting on one and loving another is just a personal bias and it's kind of stupid to get on a high horse about one cash cow versus another.
