  • godphase3, on 11/19/2008, -2/+58There is no excuse for watching this trash.
  • LOGNATR, on 11/20/2008, -2/+33Excuse #7: Dawson's Creek didn't have quite enough vampires.
  • inactive, on 11/19/2008, -1/+26Why am I like the last one to find out about this movie? Everyone's talking about it and this is the first I've heard. I need to get out more
  • Ja50n, on 11/20/2008, -0/+21you're better off not knowing.
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+18I really do not understand the craze over this movie, at all. It sounds like the same tired, cliche, vampire-crap that Rice romanticized, Whedon made funny/campy, Hot Topic made ridiculous and now it's just old. How about vampires in space or something, I don't ***** care, just enough with the same old *****... vampires that live underwater... in lava, I don't care.

    I've left this comment before but ***** it and ***** Twilight.
  • Treshnell, on 11/20/2008, -1/+16It was like Highschool Musical. One day I started hearing all this crap like "OMG HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL 3!!!!" and I had no idea what the first two even were.
  • ZachTorpy, on 11/20/2008, -0/+14my excuse: it's going to ***** suck.
  • elfuego, on 11/20/2008, -0/+13Here's my excuse for NOT seeing it: I'll be busy buying stock in Hot Topic. They'll be doubling their floor space to accomodate this in addition to the crappy band merch, Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, and all the other things the emo kids need to express their unique brand of inner anguish... in the exact same fashion as every other emo kid.
  • FaithclubDotNet, on 11/20/2008, -0/+11I just bought an 1800s vampire killer kit. I think the silver bullets work on goths.
  • SportsAnna, on 11/19/2008, -0/+11Because it works better than a self-induced gag reflex?
  • centran, on 11/20/2008, -2/+12do you live in South Park, Colorado?
  • statuescrumble, on 11/20/2008, -2/+12There is no excuse for a man to see this movie.
  • Xihix, on 11/20/2008, -0/+10Go to Slumdog Millionaire instead.
  • Lane, on 11/20/2008, -0/+10LOOK: I saw the ads. I heard the radio take over, I don't want to see this crap. Get out of my bubble!
  • ShittyPunGuy, on 11/20/2008, -0/+9Dawson's Crypt.
  • panicbombs, on 11/19/2008, -0/+8My girl is already forcing me so that is my excuse(punishment/torture).
  • A11YND, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8Excuse #8: You can riff it like MS3TK and piss off the minors.
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8I know pedobear's got tickets.
  • bobrobon, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8Type 'twilight is' on google and see what it suggests while you're typing.

    That's pretty much how i feel about this movie.
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+8#7. I'm a teacher and I need to see what's influencing the kids in my classroom :)
  • jschau2, on 11/19/2008, -1/+8This was hysterical!! And yes, it's good to know that I'm the only one who enjoys saying the word "Sookie" in varying accents.
  • zboyet, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6Well I for one think it looks pretty stupid. Don't get me wrong I love a good vampire movie... The combo of vampires and Hot Topic high school kids with parents that "just don't get it" does not really appeal to me.
  • XtheXlanternX, on 11/20/2008, -1/+7I like vampire stories. That is why I watch True Blood, which is awesome. This movie looks like teenage girl hogwash, or maybe it is just marketed that way.
  • XtheXlanternX, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6I love the way Bill says Sookie. It's like so hushed and forced.
  • zboyet, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6Get a job, a mortgage and have some kids and maybe you will understand THEM ;)
  • mllawso, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5Chug some ipecac syrup.
    The E.R. waiting room has better things on TV.
  • PlanR, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5I now PROUDLY state and reaffirm that: Not only do I not have the slightest idea what Twilight is, I have neither the time, nor the desire to find out.


  • travisty17, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5There is no way I'll see this. Ever.

    Wait, *****?
  • cobr@, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5drinking is still way cooler
  • thegamingguy, on 11/19/2008, -0/+5my excuse: the hype.
  • onlysc, on 11/19/2008, -0/+5reece toppless!
  • nightsky07, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5Oh My God! Vampires in High School! Buried for being lame.
  • Rikushix, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5I like the very last one.

    "Twilight is for girls"

    Well no *****, sherlock.
  • SpeedSteamBoat, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5Breaking your leg? That's dedication. I usually just "accidentally" leave me phone off and "forget" about things like that until it's just a little too late. Then it's "OH DAMN! Wow, I'm so sorry. I REALLY was looking forward to that. Oh well, maybe another time..."

    *****, no wonder I don't have a girlfriend anymore. haha.
  • cptmichael101st, on 11/19/2008, -4/+8Warning: Harry Potter spoiler.
  • Sornos, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4They'll appreciate the consideration.
  • Dagreenman, on 11/20/2008, -5/+9there is no excuse. the book is an abortion, and in all likelihood so is the movie.
  • jfsimard79, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4I know me too, I was like what in the ***** is this *****. Dumb ass mongoloid retarded kids these days wtf. No taste in anything.
  • 12916studios, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4I wish this series would just die already.
  • sphykik, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3My girlfriend's making me see it....

    I HAVE NO CHOICE :(
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Reason #7: Girlfriend or Wife has read all the books.

    That's my excuse.
  • NathanielJ, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4Because you're 22, which means you're about 10 years older than this movie's target demographic.
  • uclaith, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3haha I was in westwood during the premiere a couple of days ago - nothing but shrieking 12-15 year olds...
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Warning: spoiler for 8 year old book.
  • mr0nine2five, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4buried for vampires that glitter/sparkle

    There is a horrendous chain of events that lead to me gaining the knowledge of what this "writer" thinks vampires should be like. Now I understand that as a "writer," she has the ability to "create" new vampire lore. But for the love of god, "granite like skin that sparkles in the daylight"? There are some things you just don't do.
  • XtheXlanternX, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3dude but my parents just don't understand me :(
  • hollywoodphony, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3How about an excuse to give the cops after you burn down the theater playing this piece of crap?
  • Stavrosian, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Single life is an acceptable choice in this case.
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4My GF will probably drag me to see this as she loves the books to death.

    I'm planning to "accidentally" break my leg the day before....
  • baldboy7, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3I would like to see some excuses NOT to see this movie.


    ...as if i need one.
