Twilight Rant

Updated: This video continues to get views even though it's been a couple years (WEIRD) and unfortunately USA today no longer has the article posted online. The best I could do was find an MTV news article that quoted the original article extensively. For those interested: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1604226/stephen-king-blasts-stephenie-meyer....

In which I go on a fierce Twilight rant spurred by an article that a friend of mine tweeted.

@crippledcritic It's so old that it's been taken down. I just linked to a different article on MTV News in the description above; it is the best I can do now.

Well i have to say this is the best ''Rant'' i've seen you actually gave reasons for what you said instead of ''Twilight sucks that's it get over it'' i personally am twelve and i've read the books eighteen times each and still counting I also know the twilight movie word for word but i agree they aren't the best written books ever!!

[LadyElric617]

Thanks!

5 STARS

[LadyElric617]

LOL thanks very much

p.s. You also inadvertently informed me that this video was posted. Youtube had given me problems the other day and said the video had failed to load 4 times...lo and behold they lied.

So thanks for that as well :)

Stephen King is a true artist, a real man with a terrifying and awesome imagination. Stephanie Meyer can only talk to her inner child, sad thing is every other child seems to like it too, proven in the "New Moon" trailer she just wants to get thease books out into movies as soon as possible, it hasn't even been a YEAR and the new movie is coming out! Its insulting to writing to have her apart of its name, I hope after this little saga she hides in a deep shithole away from america.

[TheTwilightSagaSucks]

@LadyElric617 stephen king has always been a good writer hes better than smeyer

[supernaturalawesome1]

I totally agree. I think the twilight books were not very well written light entertainment. I'm not a huge fan of the series but there were things I really liked in the series. However I must say Stephen King is awesome. His books are not to be compared to the twi books because they're completely different but in my opinion I liked his works better. He's been an amazing author for over two decades he's entitled to his opinion.

I agree. I think those little kids are so stupid acting like thw world is ending because a renownd author gave his honest opinion. I bought a hardcover (1st edition i think) for my sister and she couldn't even finish it. I think she either got bored or tired. It's not my cup of tea cuz i think it actually ruins the Vampire persona. But i think Collin Farrell might've saved it. And i think i should try PAtterson. I like good stories. Also have you read RObert B Parker's books? 41 pages in awesome

[morticianman24]

I have to say it is nice to see a woman, who likes Stephen King. He is a master. To Hell with Meyer!

[jk1whitetiger]

I totally agree with everything that you've said. Very articulately spoken.
