JakeOshea13 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 It's a huge difference. Insulting someone by being rude, crude and obnoxious is one thing, telling someone that you hate the movie they like is another. I've never told someone they are a fucking retard for liking Potter or THG, but I have been called those exact words because I like Twilight.Just because you use a less offensive word calling people "Loonies" for watching "the piece of garbage" THG, it's still basically the same thing, and you're being incredibly hypocritical.

cozmeesah Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Did you, or did you not opine in the Weekend Estimates thread that the media was only giving THG good reviews because they have an "agenda" or all are "on it's side"? I just think there is some kind of an agenda with the media. How can they like such a piece of garbage so much?Sure, you didn't call them or anyone else who likes the film any names. But, you're inferring that the only possible reason the media could like a film that you hate so much, is because they have an agenda. Not because of what you always preach about how "different people like different things."That is what makes you a hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks. Yes, it was the biggest decision I had to make before getting married. I had to decide if I'd be okay with raising kids that weren't my blood. I chose to do it, obviously, but it does come with many many challenges. lolYour kids SHOULD be thankful. They HAVE TO be thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been around since 2002. Before you try to find ways to criticize me, try to know what you're talking about first. Everyone is loonie for something, especially me. I'm a SW, Indy, JAWS and Rocky loonie. There are Potter loonies and LOTR loonies and so on. It's not an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've read all the Hunger Games and Harry Potter and seen all the movies. Haven't read any Twilights but have seen all the movies so far. Twilight movies aren't as bad as some people make them out to be, I think hating them is just the "cool" thing to do on the internet since it's a female driven story with a love triangle, something that doesn't really appeal to most guys.HP>>> THG>>>>>>Twilight IMO.There's of course the bandwagoners but the Twilight books are mortifying. In fact, the films show this too with the actions of the characters. It's a poor story. Of course I've only read selections criticized on the Internet.I've read the HG and in some places Katniss goes close to Bella-esque thinking before stopping.

baumer Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Naaa..I'm done fighting too. I'm glad THG is doing well. I'm thrilled all of you love it so much. Warms my heart to see such a well made film do so well. Honestly. Enjoy your success you loonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not all book adaptations experienced the same fate. It's still about the film. It opened to $152m. It definitely is not about the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeOshea13 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Stuff like this is such retarded vitriol. The books are fantastic reads, just because you don't like them, doesn't mean your opinion of them is shared by others.
