Purkake Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Maybe it's all the that are turning people off? Twilight star Robert Pattinson says he worries about being infected with HIV when adoring fans approach him with open wounds and ask him to suck their blood.Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the series, has revealed he genuinely fears for his life when fans mob him in the street. The 23-year-old actor laid out his concerns to promote a new biography ahead of the next Twilight film, New Moon, which premieres this week. "People ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair," Pattinson told the News Of The World. "I just don't want someone to have a needle and give me HIV and I don't want to get shot or stabbed." Pattinson recalled one time where a group of girls approached him bleeding from scratches they had just opened up on their necks. "They were like, 'We did this for you' … I didn't know what to say — 'Thank you, guys?'" Edited November 23, 2009 by Purkake

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah I edited in his review after. And yes, Pattinson hates the Twilight series with a passion. He hates his character, he hates the books and he hates the fans. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am?

LadyCrimson Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 This is a good observation. I'd like to hear any guesses about why Twilight nails its target audience, and who that target audience is. Can't speak to the book, as I haven't read it. But the movie is obviously aimed to appeal to youthful ladies who dream of ultimate romance. Or something. Themes:growing up, teen rebellion/maturing, sacrificing everything for love. Typical romance formula, with a bit of Romeo & Juliet feeling conflicts perhaps. Seriously...Twiglight (at least the first film) isn't a vampire movie. It's a youth romance movie that happens to have vampires (and werewolves) in it. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Blarghagh Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 So apparently New Moon broke a lot of Dark Knight's records. This annoys me, because it's like 90% female driven. This means studios will be looking at more franchises to market entirely to women, and less for my beautiful explody blockbusters.
Musopticon? Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I'm all for more franchises that are marketed to women, variety and equality right there, as long as they are good. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Gorth Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I suppose this is the point where I confess ignorance and have to do a google search on "Twilight" and "New Moon"... never heard of them before “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Walsingham Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Women's Hour on the BBC - yes there is such a thing - was going all gooey about it on Saturday.

Killian Kalthorne Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Vampires should not sparkle. They aren't cool looking guys with emo haircuts. They are monsters. Blood drinking, cannibalistic, monsters that want to enslave the human cattle. They should never be the "good" guys. Stake them. Burn them. Rip their heads off with a chainsaw.

Tigranes Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Saw about 10 minutes of the first one by chance, and from all I can gather it's irredeemably crap.

Blood drinking, cannibalistic, monsters that want to enslave the human cattle. They should never be the "good" guys. Stake them. Burn them. Rip their heads off with a chainsaw. Thats actually a very modern take on vampires (both your view of them and twilights). Pre-victorian era they were VERY differently seen by the various cultures then we view them today. World of Darkness News http://www.wodnews.net --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente
Oner Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Why shouldn't vamps be good guys? It's a curse. Either you embrace it or try to get rid of it. Or embrace it and still hate what you became. Slightly related: I remember in the Bram Stoker book how Van Helsing pitied Lucy(?), because the curse turned her into an evil vampire. He didn't really care for Dracula who suffered from the same thing. Innocent girls are cursed to be evil, grown men choose to, nice one*. *I've yet to finish the book, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Meshugger Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) img Damn straight. I have numerous of times ranted and raved on this forum on how bad Twilight was, and after watching Spooney's review, i feel no need to watch the new one in the near future. Except maybe when high on acid or weed.
