I think the "vampire invite" may need to be either in a comment or by someone that doesn't have you muted. We definitely haven't intentionally done away with it. Test: kleinbl00
You know, I've never seen any of the twilight films, am I missing out? At this point I sort of wear it as a badge of honor.
You my friend should start watching all the old Mystery Science Theater 3000's on YouTube. Start with Mitchell and play around from there. They're all gold.
Where do I find it straight through and not just snippets? Help, I'm old and stuff.
I've never seen them or read the books. I read this rationalist retelling of the series instead, and thought it was great. So I now have nothing but positive mental associations with Twilight.
That's kind of awesome. I'ma check that out. There was a brief shining period when Breaking Dawn was going to happen but hadn't quite happened where this piece was completely hilarious.
It's long and as strange as you'd guess. Eminently worth it, though. I accidentally got deep into the rationalist fiction community (which means anything from the denser side of Yudkowsky to merely making sure your plots are idiot ball-proof) and am really loving the output. Scions include Ra HPMoR Worm This retelling of Superman (?) and Luminosity. Turns out you don't have suspend disbelief to write/read good fiction!
My favorite is HPMoR, which imo is the most well written. Worm is second best although...substantial. Honestly, I couldn't get into a lot of the other ones because of the "fan fic style" they're written in, it immediately takes me out of the story. Have you read any Neal Stephenson (I'm sure you have)? He has a similar writing style.
I actually watched 2 of them with my sisters. The cinema was in the next jewish town - now that I write this, I wonder if there is a cinema in any major arabic town in israel, whatever - and the bus connections were inconvenient (back then, 3 buses a day), so I HAD to drive my sisters to the cinema. And there was no other movie in parallel blabla... In short, it was either wait outside, drive back home, or watch the movie. So I did. Sitting there as the only guy between teenage girls and soccer moms. It felt weird, but I kinda got into the mood of the movie. You know, when a story sucks you in even though it's dumb and you have popcorn. Until this guy (Edward?) walked into sunlight for the first time. He fucking started to glitter. I totally lost it. Laughed so hard I started coughing up the popcorn I had just eaten. All around me the girls were giving me the deathray vision and loudly calling "shushhhh". I behaved after that, as well as I could. One of the funniest unexpected moments I ever had. Now that I spoiled the surprise, I would not reccomend watching the movie. Totally predictable, except for glittering vampires.
Yeah, that's the way it's always been. You should only be able to reply to the person that invited you in. Edit: but no matter where I go, I can still reply
-that's strange. Even on comments where you were not shouted-out?
