My reasons are: Twilight has hot vampires that are romantic omfg! What more could u ask :p et I loved how thee movies were nothing like the books :p and the actors suck but are sexy..... :p




Btw TEAM EDWARD


I'm sorry, but I'm obligated to my honor to say Twilight was the worst movie ever. (I never saw the sequels, I'm affraid I'd get eyecancer. And yes, I did see stuff like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Troll 2.)

Why? Not because of the way vampires are portrayed, every work of fiction gives them their own spin. It's also not because I just don't like romantic movies (except Beauty and the Beast of course, that one's awesome). It's also not because the actors are too far under my own age (and act like they're much further under it). It's not even because of the way they insult the audiences intelligents with those completely not obvious hints that the other guy is a werewolf. No, the real reason that Twilight is so bad is that it is possitively screwed up. Now, I like screwed up movies. Just today I found out the Harry Potter series features actual centaur gang rape. It put a big smile on my face. I also don't care if a film isn't entirely logical, I really love a good B-movie.

But Twilight takes it way, way too far. This is a world in which people are speeding and drifting in a schoolground. And when they crash they don't try to get away or get out of the car and see if anyone got hurt, no, they'll just sit there, completely having missed that person jumping in front of their car. This is a world in which creepy men get scared of a teenager with some kind of hip color changing contacts. In this world lives a vampire who has been alive for over a century. Still he has the social skills of a potato. O, and he's also a pedophile 24/7 stalker and would be murderer of his victim. Even the actor that plays him hates the character. But the worst offender is the girl, she's simply too dumb to live. She actually thinks it's cute for a guy to follow her around all the time in his car. She thinks it's perfectly normal to break into someones house and watch them sleep every night for months. She gets turned on by a guy that says he wants to kill her. She needs help, serious help. Julliet fell for Romeo even tough he killed her brother, but at least he was still nice to her. Belle fell for the Beast even though he wasn't nice to her, but at least she stil had Stockholm Syndrome on her side, and he sort of bettered his life afterwards. Bella (sounds like a cow, I think she shares both her name and her intellect with one) should have all allarm bells going off, and all she can do is gaze into his eyes. If you ever meet someone like here, run your ass off, you'll never know what her next trick wll be.

I heard the other installments include werewolf mouthrape and spinebreaking bloodfountain spewing childbirth. I'm glad I didn't see that, because if it has been done the same way as that first installment that is going to be too sick, even for me, and I just posted a top ten list with Oldboy on number one.

But okay, that's my rant for today.

For best film frachise I'd like to nominate Hell Raiser. The sequels are mostly B-movies, but as I said I don't mind that, and they keep comming up with their own take on the theme.

Plus it's not an entirely obvious choice.

Since I haven't seen the Godfather films yet ( D: ) I would say the original Star Wars trilogy. Solid storytelling combined with a second act (Episode V) that can only be described as artistic fantasy. It's a space opera, really.

1/2 of All Star Trek Films. (Mostly the even ones) Reasons? they're the best ones. #2 You get Khan, #4 Involves timetravel in an alien spaceship to bring whales from the 1980s so they can save the earth, #6 was okay and First Contact was an awesome film with the Borg.
