I don't understand this at all. Why would a wife, gf, mistress, or anyone else for that matter, make you watch a movie? My wife goes to chick movies with her friends and I go to what I want to see with my friends. And isn't Twighlight for kids?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I agree. I haven't seen any of them, but all my girlfriend's brothers have allowed their significant others to drag them out to see it. They're also the same ones that tell me "I'll have to check with the wife/girlfriend" and then come back with "Nah, not tonight so-and-so wants to go grocery shopping (or visit her mother, or any other lame excuse) whenever I ask them to fish, whereas my girlfriend usually says, "why are you asking me?"

Anyway, it was suppose to be a joke. The movie looks pretty bad-ass with the broadest "guy-movie" cast.

Gawd....I had no idea!

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Haha... you've seen it with them just as much as I have. I think you've also witnessed Linds tell me "you haven't been fishing in a few days. get the hell out of the house and go fishing before you get pissy."

Just as the Harry Potter books and movies were aimed at the lonely, "live-in-my-parents-basement" techno geeks and losers, (I stand corrected and retract this part of my comment)

Maybe a "Dungeons and Dragons" role playing reference might have been more appropriate?

Twilight seems to be aimed at the female contingent of the same
group. You know, the "I think vampires are sexy, but I'll never get a date" crowd.

After "Interview with a Vampire with an efeminate Tom Cruise as a (I think gay) vampire, I could only tolerate the Blade vampire flicks.

Me go see ANY of the Twilight flicks? Only if I was bound and gagged!

Wow - I've read every Harry Potter and seen every movie, love 'em all. Never lived at home after I was 18 and far from a techno-geek. When I was single I had more than enough girls. My wife and many of her friends, all active, attractive moms in the ealry 40s have read all the Twilight books and get together to see the movies.
I guess Star Wars is for all the losers who dream of fighting the "dark side" and Raiders of the Lost Ark for the homeless that like to find treasures in peoples garbage?
Many people enjoy fantasy as it takes us away from the real world. Harry Potter is a brilliantly creative adventure series. Twilight is a teenie-bopper romance, but it attracts women because of the pure-romance element (there is NO sex in the books/film).
You should open your mind a bit, you may enjoy this stuff if you gave it a shot.
