The best response to that would be "I'm sorry you had to go through that again."

I just went to my video search app and before I could finish her name the autocomplete was "anna kendrick cup song", and that's the only video of hers I already know. I haven't watched Twilight but she's probably more talented than that.

My kids love the cup song. That's when I learned about her.

Then a few years later, some friends and I had a "bad movie night" where we watch movies and take shots during specific bad scenes, and the film was twilight. Anna Kendrick is young in the film (still baby faced) and incredibly forgettable when compared to all the other wacky scenes.

sonofabitch, do i have a reason to watch twilight now?

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I like Anna Kendrick and all but no, that's not really a good enough reason to sit through Twilight. The only reason I've seen it is because I happened to catch the RiffTrax version where they make fun of it the whole time lol

you almost saved me from watching it until

RiffTrax version

now i have to!

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I will say, the RiffTrax stuff was so hilarious that I ended up watching all three films like that... I wouldn't recommend attempting it any other way though lol

i just found the whole trilogy available on the high seas premixed, so i dont even have to slog through mixing the audio myself!

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

That's the same way I watched it lol

[–] mathesonian@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 days ago

Same here, i've seen all three because of riffrax

I got stuck watching the first movie because of a woman I was into. That shit sucked so badly. Don't want to watch again and definitely not rhe rest either.

I had a good friend who was a super fan (she has since rewritten history and denies it but she had a bookshelf—read: shrine—devoted to them) and she made me watch the first one with her. I didn’t know about the whole sparkle thing so when that happened I burst out laughing and she got pouty, lol. Still love her.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Same I laughed so hard, well lets just say she was not happy with me.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Plot twist: it was the same woman

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

If she lives in Oklahoma then maybe.

Every twilight fan I've met loves the wack. I have never met anybody who wholeheartedly loves the series as a true romance. They see it as a Romeo/Juliet with glitter vampires and how the series/actors never breaks kayfabe. And once that clicked, made me understand.

I had the memorable experience of watching the first movie in the theatre's. When the apple scene happened a bunch of teenage girls started ooohing and aaahing and I laughed so hard. Then one of my friends smacked my shoulder. I have no regrets.

I think I watched that rifftrax. Is that the one where her dad says 'sit down, have some plaid'? I quote that like once a month

[–] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Sounds plausible. The quote I always use is “LIIIINE!” from the dinner table scene where the camera jumps back and forth between them but they don’t speak for like 5 minutes.
