    Hmm...

    ...Nope, totally no connection between those two conveniently bolded phrases.

    No, you're not correct. Twilight is one of the few exceptions to the rule. Just as it defies all belief that a book could possibly turn someone into a dribbling moron, it defies all belief just how bad the story in said book is. They go hand in hand, the whole deal is unbelievable.

    Assume away. I think it's natural for anyone to assume at this point that you're trying to make me feel offended by the gay assumption, thus using homosexuality in a negative aspect. Poor show, poor show.

    The first couple of movies were good, more kid oriented though. However the latest Potter adventures are dark and stricken with grief more and more... they are fantastic. They do not, however, do the books justice.

    Ok I see where the mix up happened. When I said story I meant the actual story (hence why I said 6 years ago). You seem to think the story refers to the movie which it does not.

    Oh, deary me. I apologize; that was all on me. As it often is. :eek:

    Naturally they have not changed the actual books. Sorry about that little speed bump.

    No bother. I hate when that happens cos both people are arguing a correct point but
    don't realise they are both different yet correct. I've had one of those last for ages before. Rather annoying

    Poor show, poor show. Since when am I a dribbling moron? I like the series and that makes me a one? I can assume the same thing if you like something along those lines.

    "Twilight is one of the few exceptions to the rule." What rule though?

    Anyway, I don't want to argue anymore on this forum. I know you're a cool guy and I guess i can respect your opinions.. The fact you called me a female or assuming I was gay was a little disgruntling for me.

    It's no secret that the Twilight fanbase majority is considered to be female, what with all the admiration for the actors in the films and the fact it's a love story which are usually feminine by nature. I merely found it amusing (and surprising) to see a male fan. The same thing would occur if you'd told me you love work of Justin Bieber. You started the gay thing though, I merely repeated it back, though to be honest I would expect that more gay than straight males are into Twilight. You probably need a reasonably strong feminine side.

    I don't know what in the f*ck you would need to come remotely close to enjoying those f*cking films. The acting, among other things is just... just awful.
