“Each movie has a theme. The first one is cute, the second one is depressing, the third one has the epic battle and the fourth one is f—— morbid. Great movie, but it’s totally f—— morbid.”
Alan Kyte

Kim Acker

“I’m Harry Potter, so I didn’t like the movie. The scene where the baby was taken out was too intense.”
Alison Thompson

“There are a lot of intense looks and not a lot of plot. There’s a lot of drinking for the Twilight movies. I openly hate the Twilight franchise.”
Kyle Goldzung

“I feel like John Carpenter should have made the movie.”
Clara Peebles

“Taylor Lautner is such a butter face.”
Kendall Moore

“I know it’s awesome; I’m just not a fan. I think that its cool that there is an overarching amount of people that like it.”
Shelby Patty

“I like the Harry Potter and Twilight wars. It’s the pot calling the kettle black.”
Mary Boltz

“It’s not the best love story! It’s just hot guys. People just go to see Taylor Lautner. Harry Potter is better. Bella is a d— hopper.”
Elnaz Rahimpour

“They need to stop making stupid movies about it.”
