In response to "It's Star Wars all over again for me. Anytime anyone says they legitimately liked Twilight, I just shake my head in pity." by David

The difference there is that Star Wars was loved by critics, fans and general moviegoers. Twilight is only liked by the loyal fanbase. -- nm

- The first trilogy. Specifically, Star Wars and Empire. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 14:03 12

    - I watched the first one very objectively recently for my AFI project. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:09 7
      - Star Wars introduced us to a whole new world (of special effects). - Spawn Nov 19, 14:17

        It depends. I mean, I like Revenge of the Sith and he hates it. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:15 4
        
        (And I really do think Empire Strikes Back is great.) -- nm - Callisto Nov 19, 14:15 3

        I think it's a little overrated *but* I think that it is also a super important set of films historically and to deny that is silly. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:23 1

    - And now you are getting to the heart of why I would never be his. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:06
    - It's the reason DLC is a meme -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 14:05 1
      - Ironically, this is something I like about Twilight. It's demonstrating what I've always said about Star Wars proving it's better to be lucky thangood - David Nov 19, 14:08
They're both mediocre products whose popularity vastly exceeds what the quality merits. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:01 11
- Except it's hard to find an all time top 100 list from a major listing that doesn't have the original Star Wars in that list. - Inigo Nov 19, 14:05 10
  - You should brace for the same thing to happen to Twilight down the line. People drive lists. - David Nov 19, 14:13 8
    - Twlight has a 5.9 rating on IMDB. It didn't get nominated for Best Picture. It won't have re-releases. - Inigo Nov 19, 14:18 3
      - fwiw, at least one local theater is showing "twilight" right now. - b. Nov 19, 14:25
      - It was an nothing film budget that earned $380 million worldwide. If you don't think that's a blockbuster...well, you're being silly. - David Nov 19, 14:25
      - To be clear, I'm taling about the movies. The books are a totally separate class. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 14:21

      - As much as I wish it would, Twilight isn't going away. One out of every nine books sold the first half of this year was for this franchise. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:18 2
        
        wow, i didn't know that. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 14:19 1
        
        When I was researching for New Moon about four months ago is when I started ranting about it here. - David Nov 19, 14:26
  - I will. Ho-Ho! -- nm - Retired Summit Entertainment Mogul Nov 19, 14:11
