Well, you see, I have friends that like twilight. And I'm willing to overlook that fault because it's their only fault, but the conversation gets quite stupid once they begin to talk about it, so the only way to shut them up is to begin criticizing the franchise. Of course, as any fans would, they'd begin to defend it by saying that I've never even seen the movie or read the book. However, I can say that I have read the book (well, some of it anyway) and seen the movie (albeit with comedic commentary), so I can actually articulate what makes it so appalling. And then they shut up about it and change the subject. The alternative to this is for me to assist at an hour long conversation between them about sparkly vampires, so it's better this way.
