TWILIGHT – A MOVIE WE COULDN’T PAY YOU TO SEE?

Posted October 13th, 2008 By: Team Switzerland 16 Comments »

EW.com has added a gallery to their site with movies that they title “20 Pop-Culture Hits You Say We Couldn’t PAY You To See”, and Twilight made the list.

Here is the description they give for Twilight:
(Note: It’s included with the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars movies and I plan on never seeing them. I’ve also never seen the Godfather movies or any episode of The Sopranos. I just don’t like the mob! And vampires — I’m against vampires. Which means, Buffy and Twilight — yeah, I’m not watching! Sorry! But I have seen every episode of Gossip Girl, so I’ve got that going for me. Which is good. —NineDaves.com

(Thanks Alice!)

I take this list with a grain of salt because the other pop-culture hits on the list are great. They include Titanic, The Godfather, and American Idol among others.

What do you think of this list? Does Twilight deserve to be on there?

    I find it funny because Star Wars and The Godfather movies were VERY successful and considered classics. I wonder what this guy watches…
    Well, he won’t change my mind. I’ll still watch Twilight more than once, I’m sure!

  • Katelin Victoria

    That isn’t even a valid output, honestly.
    That is just ridiculous!
    I suppose if they feel vampires are wrong though they have the right.
    But the list seems more to the mainstream and not the quality of the actual movies.
    This just seems very unprofessional.

    Nobodys asking these TOOLS to see anything! Titanic was a wonderful film and The Godfather is NOT a cult film, it is an amazing film, one of my all time fav’s! Twilight isnt intended to be some introspective, serious, BORING film that the “old farts” of Hollywood will vote for during Oscar time. No, this film is geared toward the young and young at heart, the people with artistic imaginations…like all of us! So these JERKS can stick to their boring, manly movies with girlies and and their James Bond big boobs….were not stupid! Can anyone smell the male insecurity?

  • Taylor

    I hope this one guy’s opinion doesn’t affect anyone else. I mean, this is one guy. Look at the fandom we have created! It’s like a billion to a very small number! Woooo Twilight!!!

  • Jaded Heart

    Any dork that lists Star Wars as being a bad movie has no taste in my opinion. Star Wars is one of my Top 5 favorite movies, and I’m a girl. LOL.

  • Nichole Aurora

    JUST LIKE YOU SAID TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SLAT. THEY HAVENT SEEN THE GODFATHER OK I CAN SEE NOT WATCHING GODFATHER 3(NOT MY FAV EITHER) BUT 1 AND 2 THEY BOTH WON OSCARS AND DID VERY VERY WELL. I DONT AGREE WITH THESE STATEMENT FOR SOO MANY REASONS OTHER THEN NOT JUST LIKING VAMPIRES. PEOPLE SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP AND OPEN MIND AND NOT THROW MOVIES AND BOOKS INTO A CAT. WITH OUT TRUELY READING AND WATCHING THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THRE OPION OF SOMEONE WHO HAS IN FACT READ AND OR WATCH THE THINGS THEY ARE GIVING THEIR VIEWS ON.

  • Cherie

    I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, however I wonder what this guy has against vampires and “classic” movies, and what does he watch. I happen to watch movies for entertainment, and believe no harm done if I happen to watch one that I didn’t enjoy. Not a biggie. Vampires are very “entertaining”, and I can’t wait for Twilight.

  • kerri

    I know I’ve commented already but I’ve noticed a ‘male’ trend happening here and insecurity is thy name! Twilight is a film that is going to appeal to girls and women alike. Lets face it, Rob, Jackson, and Kellan are three of the hottest, most talented young stars to surface in a looooong time! Give them amazing roles and watch what they can do! Lets look at all the movies geared toward men, sex sells right? Well in my opinion Hollywood sells about 99% of the time to men, dont you agree? Why should jerks like this tell everyone it’ll be a boring film because it’s a vampire flick? Titanic, Godfather and Star Wars had very handsome leads and wonderful plots, just as Twilight does. This guy is certainly one sandwich short of a picnic!

    Ha! There are only two movies I can agree on with that post: High School Musical and James Bond movies. Never had an interest in movies like HSM (which reminds me so much of Grease set in the new millenium that it’s not even funny!) and James Bond… really, need I say more? He must have been cool in the 60s and 70s, but I really thinking they are digging for plots here. What is a “quantum of solace” anyway?

    As for the other movies… Star Wars (my favorite of all time) and The Goonies? How can one not grow up and at least have sit once through these movies? I don’t understand that one.

  • aLIcE CuLLeN

    wow. that’s all i can say… that and “oh my goodness what kind of an idiot ARE YOU?!?” star wars: good! james bond: good! HSM: YUCK!!! that’s the only one i can really agree on for that. btw, if this guy wants to start slamming twilight, he’ll have more than one angry mob to deal with! (tar and feathers, anyone?)

  • samantha

    BLEEPIN’ idiot does not know a great movie if it bite him in the ass. Star wars is like the greatest movie series of all time.

  • DazzledbyTwilight

    Hmmm what a silly article! Most of those movies are wonderful classics! Some people just have nothing better to do! All I can say is that they have no idea what they are missing but that is on them! I will be at the theater on Nov 21st watching Twilight along with millions of others and also there when the new Harry Potter comes out! YAY!

    *cough*
    Stupid predjudiced vampire haters.
    *cough*

    grumble grumble… whatev

  • Dean

    Ok, just because it happened to be a guy that made the comment does not mean that guys dont like Twilight, or only like movies with sex in them. Thats a really retarded thing to say. I really enjoyed reading Twilight and a movie doesnt have to have sex in it to catch my attention. I would rather watch a movies with interesting story lines that just a screen full of boobs.

  • rochelle

    he also says he’s seen every episode of gossip girl. now, i know that show is popular with many people but you couldn’t PAY ME to watch it. so, to each his own i suppose. the fact that he lists twilight along with the godfather and star wars as movies he won’t watch (movies i adore) makes me even more certain i’ll love twilight. and watch it repeatedly. and then buy it on dvd and watch it repeatedly. ;p

  • Kris

    Ok I don’t think that this guy watches very many TV shows because if AMerican Idol made it, thats pretty sad. Also, I think that The Godfather and Star Wars were also very popular. And of course i don’t get how twilight got on this list because i will watch it more than once for sure. Also, maybe this guy should actually see them and then review it?????!!!!
