Thought: How Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” is inspiring for adult men…

Yes, the “Twilight” series were mainly aimed toward the younger audiences, but notice that more and more adult men are starting to read the books, and seeing the movies. I am noticing that most men are slamming these series because of its teen content and soap opera like romance. Not giving anymore detail than that on why they think the series suck so bad. I am also noticing that most of these men haven’t even read the books or seen the movies. I think it’s because they want to fit in with the other haters to bash everything that goes mainstream.

What would make men get interested in reading the books or see the movies in the first place? I think simply because they are curious. They want to get into “Twilight”, to get an idea of why teens love ’em so much. Just like me, they are fans of vampire stories and they want to see Stephenie Meyer’s take on them. I’m pretty sure men get a little embarrassed at first, that they feel like a fool getting into teen “Twilight”, but once they read the books or see the movies, they’ll find them not so bad after all and actually enjoying it.

I have also read plenty of reviews of “Twilight: New Moon”, mostly men slamming the movie and giving the film negative reviews. Most of them say that the new film is a teen’s dream, something that kids would want, but some men still hate it.

You see, fellas, it doesn’t matter if you like or hate the series, either way. As long as Stephenie Meyer got all the men talking about these series, she is successful for that reason.

It might feel a little weird to go in a movie to see a bunch of shirtless muscle men in one movie, but you gotta admit it, that these guys have great bodybuilding physiques. It’s not gonna make you feel gay for getting into “Twilight”. It will make you feel like a “man”.  

Stephenie is a great, unique storyteller. She knows how to grab people’s attention, either good or bad. As long as people are talking about these series, Hollywood will bring us more.

Men enjoy soap operas and campy romance, that’s why they enjoy these “Twilight” stories. They simply want to know what it will be like to be in the teen world. Men are also hypocrites when it comes to bashing “Twilight”, because of its teen content and romance.

They really shouldn’t be bashing these series, when most men are into silly comic book superhero flicks that are aimed at kids, a lot of men are into Pixar films that are aimed for children, and a lot of ’em are into Disney flicks as well. So if you’re going to bash “Twilight” you gotta stop and think about some of the other kiddie things that you enjoy. Men are even into Spongebob and Pokemon. Not to mention, Star Wars as well.

“Twilight” is the Star Wars for teens. Give the teens respect for this ’cause they deserve this entertainment. I’m looking forward to seeing “New Moon”, will hopefully see it soon, hopefully this weekend.

Report: Dustin Hoffman WILL NOT appear in “Little Fockers”, he is a bit greedy and egostitical…

Dustin Hoffman will NOT appear in “Little Fockers”, the third installment to the “Meet the Parents” series. The reason? He wants to be in the movie longer, but the studio only scripted him as a small cameo at the end of the movie, Dustin wasn’t happy about that. He also wasn’t happy with the scheduling and wanted to be payed more.

Barbara Streisand is still appearing and she’s still on for her role.

Entertainment Weekly reports:

Come on, Dustin, stop being a whiner!!! Where’s your professionalism? Of course, legendary actors like Dustin Hoffman’s ego will get in the way, that they think they are worth millions for films. He probably think he is bigger than Barbara Streisand.

At least, she’s still being a professional and accepting her cameo without whining. Dustin is just being a whiner, that is all. Gotta love greedy rich people!

Report: Brock Lesnar WILL fight again in 6th months…

This is why Dana White should shut his mouth and stop making claims about Brock never being able to fight again. Brock’s martial arts coach says, the Champ, will return to the Octagon in 6 months to defend his title. Yes, Brock will keep the title while being sick and he will  return once he fully recovers.

TMZ reports:

Great news! We don’t have to worry about Brock ending his career or worse don’t have to worry about him dying! Get well Brock and keep fighting it!

Report: Stephen King and Steven Spielberg to work together again, they will bring us, “Under the Dome” to the small screen!!!

Steven Spielberg and Stephen King, once worked together to bring us, “The Talisman” into a TV min-series, but the project was dropped due to budget costs. King and Dreamworks just greenlighted the rights for, “Under the Dome” to be made into a TV mini-series. “Under the Dome” is a brand new novel by Stephen King that was just released.

Variety Reports:

Now that JJ Abrams is no longer doing, “The Dark Tower” series into a movie, somehow I get this feeling, that Spielberg might take over.

It’s great to see King and Spielberg working together after all these years. Hopefully they’ll get something on the big screen too, and it should be, “The Dark Tower”. I think Spielberg would make a great, “Dark Tower” movie too.

Cool Video: Fitness babes rule!

It is possible that women can get a perfect and sexy body naturally without plastic surgery, all it takes is exercise and good nutrition!

I love fitness babes.

In my local gym, we don’t get hot chicks like her in a small town like Greenwich, but I’m sure other gyms around the Capital District has women with great bodies that workout at them.

Fitness babes are awesome.

Cool Video: Morrisey kicks fan out of concert…

Don’t mess with Morrisey or he’ll throw your ass out! After a fan telling the rocker, “fuck you”, Morrisey yells back, “Go, we don’t need you. We don’t need you. And then you can go fuck yourself.”

This was after Morrisey made a joke about hamburgers.

Who’s the real douche here? Is it Morrisey or the fan?

Sorry, but I’m gonna say that Morrisey is the douche.  The fan didn’t really do anything wrong. I think the fan was saying, “Fuck you” as a joke too and Morrisey took it personally. Fans usually swear and cuss to the musicians on stage, all the time, but the musicians usually take it as a joke. Morrisey didn’t.

I just think Morrisey was too excited to be onstage, that he thinks he’s bigger and more important than the fans.

Who knew that Brad Pitt is into video games? It seems that he is a big time video gamer, if he knows about “Dark Void”. I’m sure he plays video games with his kids, at least. Sounds like an interesting flick.

Report: Tim Burton to direct “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”? I’d say bring him on!

It seems that Tim Burton loves the idea of directing the final Twilight movie, “Breaking Dawn”, the fourth of the series. Burton didn’t say if he will or not, but he seemed to love the idea and he is flattered by it.

See more at MTV News:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/11/18/more-twilight-cast-and-tim-burton-himself-chime-in-on-that-burton-for-breaking-dawn-talk/

I always thought Burton would be a more appropriate choice of a director for these movies. He should have directed the first one. In fact, he should be directing all of them!!! Why didn’t Summitt Entertainment think of him in the first place? I hope Burton gets the opportunity.

I look forward to seeing, “New Moon” and will see it, this weekend.

Cool Video: Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair at Australian wrestling tour press conference…

Controversy is spreading the world of wrestling news online that Ric Flair beat up Hulk Hogan in a bloody mess at the press conference for Hogan/Bischoff’s Australian wrestling tour.

Was it real or a storyline?

Well, knowing that this is profesional wrestling, of course this is a storyline. Flair’s hand slap was obviously fake as his hand didn’t even touch Hogan’s head if you look closely.

Plus, there is a video where Hogan, Bischoff and Flair first arrive in Sydney, Australia before the press conference. Hogan and Flair are acting friendly to each other in that video. Hogan may have been pointing his fingers in front of Flair’s face, but I think Hogan was fooling around and joking…but notice Flair got in the same car that Hogan and Bischoff is in.

See for yourself.
