          Twilight is basically abstinence porn. I’m not surprised in the least that she likes it — it promotes good Christian values like not killing people for their tasty blood or having sex with those horribly wanton, wanton women because you’re sparkly and perfectly nice and control your love interest’s life as any good man should.

              Hah. Leviticus does have a prohibition against the consumption of blood, iirc. Big taboo there. In fact, contact with exposed blood is also a no-no, requiring cleansing rituals.

                Quite so, which is why the whole Last Supper, communion ritual is regarded as fiction by nearly all biblical historians… and Jews and Muslims also, of course.

                Given their beliefs about the uncleanliness of blood and cannibalism, saying “This is my blood/body, drink/eat it in remembrance of me” would have gotten about the same reaction as if he picked up a string of sausage and said “This is my shit. Eat it in remembrance of me.”

        Seriously dude. The Scott Pilgrim movie works better than the books. The fast paced humour is much better when you’re not reading it and all of the actors look perfect for who they’re supposed to be characterising.

        Err, no it doesn’t, though I agree that far too many Christians seemed to have been too drawn into Twilight. It’s a pretty tricky book. We’ve always been taught to fear werewolves and vampires, not to be drawn to them which is what Twilight does. Seems the author has done a very good job attempting to reach to the Christian community. I experienced the obsession first hand with a friend of mine from church the last couple years, it’s scary.

            Hmm, I guess that is an interesting point (not Mormon though and the beliefs are totally different) Pretty ironic though of the no sex before marriage thing and it’s written by a Mormon (no offense to Mormons)

            The movie and book though make me wary and think about it being a wolf in sheep’s clothing and dangers in false teachings.

            Eh, beats a wolf in wolf’s clothing. Personally, all the vampire/werewolf/demon romances I read growing up didn’t even pretend to promote any kind of values. Not to mention the weirdness you can get into with Fantasy fiction romances. If all my sister’s being exposed to is the literary equivalent of the Disney channel I think we’re still doing alright.

        Why yes. Yes it does. it instills the Christian value of no sex before marriage. Along with the Christian values of hurting yourself and stalking someone.

          Also, the more specifically Mormon approach to “family”–note that when Eddie is thinking about Vamping Bella, there’s this whole family meeting where the idea is discussed. This is, by several sources, precisely how Mormon families discuss when one of their kids are going to get married.

          There’s several other Mormon theological and social tenets embedded in the book, too–the whole “recognition” thing refers to the Mormon belief that your soulmate is selected before you’re ever born. And the Italian vampires? The ones that drink human blood, maintain a false claim to dominion over other vampires, and so on? Totally the Catholic Church, as Mormons view them.

      I guess because it’s written by a Mormon, it’s okay? Except that Joyce’s upbringing is eerily similar to a lot of the things I heard in my uber-Christian school, and the Mormon thing only makes it worse, as they aren’t “real Christians”.

      Kinda like how Lord of the Rings is okay because Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were best buddies.

          He may have been an atheist for 15 years, but like many late converts, Lewis became pretty fanatical. Tolkien put references to his faith in his work — Lewis’s books are all about how awesome the C of E is.

          And Tolkien was Catholic, which I think is considered almost as bad as being a Mormon.

          As Daibhid said, it’s more the C.S. Lewis thing that makes Tolkien acceptable to the crazies. Several teachers/our campus chaplain would rail against Catholics like nothing else, so the Tolkien = Catholic thing got glossed over.

          We actually did get into the whole “married a divorced woman” discussion a little in one of my classes, IIRC. Ended up being more of a discussions of married in the eyes of God vs. the eyes of the state or something like that.

          I’d still like to believe that my school would, on the whole, *not* encourage Twilight, not so much for the abstinence/vampires/whatever thing, but because they did have high standards for what would be classified as good writing.

          That’d be the English teachers though. Our old campus chaplain? Anything goes. >>

      One would think so too, but somehow the author does a very good job drawing even Christians into liking it. I experienced that first hand with a friend of mine in church the last couple years. Talk about obsessed. Everytime she posted on facebook, I saw TWILIGHT again today! She’s probably seen the movie over a 100 times by now. And not just her, it’s dozens of other Christian fangirls and even guys too. It’s very concerning. Focus on the Family actually did a segment on this one night.

          Definitely know it’s fiction, but that’s not what I’m getting at. It’s the fact that vampires and werewolves aren’t seen as dangerous anymore. They’re fudging that fact and making the bad look like good and good look like bad.

            It’s the fact that vampires have always been portrayed as evil. I haven’t read or seen it so I wouldn’t know really what the vampires did there, and so I can’t judge the movie too much.

            Well, they have been portrayed as evil, but in this story they aren’t. Why is that bad? Because in some stories they could make, say, the Devil a good guy? If you’re a Christian, you should understand that fiction is fiction and know the difference between that and your beliefs. This idea that you have to “protect yourself” from bad ideas is something that has always seemed childish to me about many Christians. Aren’t their beliefs strong enough for them to face things that disagree with them without hiding under the covers or trying to ban them?

            On the one hand, it makes a lot of sense to portray vampires as evil. They’re monsters in the folk tales from which modern vampire lore is derived, and prey on humans, making them our natural enemies (and therefore evil as far as we’re concerned). On the other hand, they don’t necessarily have to be evil. They are, after all, simply humans who’ve been blessed/cursed. And Twilight is far from the first series to not portray vampires as evil. Vampire: the Masquerade allows you to play your vampire as good or evil as you want, as does Oblivion, not all vampires are evil in Ann Rice’s books (at least, not in Interview, which is the only one I’ve read), and vampires are not all evil in Cirque du Freak. I’m sure there’s far more examples than just that, but I see no reason to be concerned about the morality of vampires in Twilight. How Meyer weakened her vampires and changed them from monsters to whiny sparkly emo stalkers is what bugs me.

            Not a fan of Twilight, but a series I am a fan of, the Discworld novels, some vampires are evil, and others are fine upstanding members of the community, whose bloodthirst is treated like an addiction they’re trying to overcome. The message is “Judge people on who they are, not what they are”. Is that a bad message?

      I’m guessing it’s Twilight given this Joyce’s age. PotC came out when she was a bit young for seeing it, and Gibson is one of those Catholics (only not really, he and his dad belong to a sect that’s not what anyone else practices), so, her parents may not have made an effort to encourage her to see it.

        Sedavacantism is…well, it’s a relatively small set of sects, but Gibson’s family is not unique in their belief. Mel’s old man is…particularly unusual, to be sure, but I don’t know if his (and Mel’s) belief on why the Second Vatican Council did what it did to become ‘invalid’ puts them far enough out of step with other sedavacantists (which may number in the millions, but I’m having a hard time finding firm numbers on that) to be called ‘a sect that’s not what anyone else practices’…

    So all the people wondering why Joyce would be allowed to watch Twilight: Go to Conservapedia and read their write-up on it, and you’ll understand. It promotes abstinence, evidently, because Edward is a hundred-something-year-old version who Does Not Take Advantage Of Teenaged Girls. (Nevermind his stalking…of course).

    As to Walky’s choice…does anything really need to be said? Or really, any of the rest of them. I do love the Joe/Dorothy dialogue though. Those two are always fun to see together.

      In the movie “Debbie Does Dallas”, Debbie doesn’t literally have sex with the city of Dallas. Nor does she have sex with a copy of the movie “Debby Does Dallas” (although I have to admit, that would be the most meta porno every created and would probably turn it into art). She has sex with men in order to get to Dallas.

    Someone pointed out Ninja Rick! Why was he not in the poll of characters we haven’t seen yet? (same goes for Reagan!) Maybe they’re the college deans or something. 😉

    As for favorite movies? I love Walky’s choice the best! My faves are a tie between Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I wonder which movie is Shaggy’s favorite and why he’s yet to be depicted this particular class– he’s not skipping to solve a mystery, I hope!

    Persepolis is an awesome movie. Eye of the Tiger was possibly my favorite part. That plus when she yells at the officer not to stare at her ass.

    Vampires have long been a sort of porn substitute. They are a sensual monster and can get away with all sorts of sex substitutes because it is not sex, it is drinking blood, or whatever, which is OK, but sex is not. Kinda messed up how being seduced and attacked by a monster is OK, But consensual sex between two adults is not, hu?

    That is all I can say about Twilight. When I first saw a preview for it the chip in my head that protects me from Bad movies started burning a hole in my head.

      Oh, Favorite movie? I don’t think I can say, but if I had to I would say Star Wars Return of the Jedi, Yes I like the movie, but also it reminds me of the time I saw it for the first time. My sisters and brother were with Dad, and Mom wanted to go out and do something so we drove all the way to Quincy IL (45 min) and missed the early show, so we got some french fries at McDonalds and went to the late show. For a child with 3 siblings going and seeing a movie just me and Mom was so cool, and it was the late show to boot!

      I’ve always appreciated Stephen King’s description of the sexuality in Dracula: “Stoker manages to suggest, in a discreet Victorian way, that Lucy is coming her brains out.”

      Conan the Destroyer passes though, which indicates how the test is not indicative of a film’s overall quality. That said, a few of the original Robert E. Howard stories pass too.

    Joyce sounds less like someone who’s watched what is likely to be a banned movie in the village she was breed in and more like someone who is saying something she thinks will make her fit in.

    What is it about Joe being open and honest about his liking of sex and the having of said sex that makes him an assumed moron? Isn’t that the opposite of how evolution should work?

      Joe referenced a pornographic film as his favorite movie. This demonstrates not merely a love of sex, but of pornography. Pornography sexually objectifies women. That’s offensive. Whether it’s moronic is another matter entirely.

      I’m pretty sure Dorothy made up her mind about Joe’s intelligence long ago.

    What sort of favourite? The sort you want to share with as many people as possible? The sort you only want to share with that special someone? The sort you want want to watch on your own? The favourite when you need to psyche yourself up for some challenge? The favourite for nullifying a bad day? The favourite for taking the heart out and giving it a good tear-washing? The favourite for how many personal stories that film has given to you over the years? The favourite you could only ever watch once? The favourite you can review thoroughly just by glancing at the case? The favourite you’ve never seen? (Sometimes, you hear enough about a film that you never need to actually see it to enjoy it. Casablanca was that way for a lot of people.) Favourite awful film?

    If I had to pick one, it would be one I’ve almost entirely forgotten: Batteries Not Included. It’s my favourite for the line it didn’t include.

    We all know it’s just a comic, of course. Nobody could really like Twilight: Eclipse.

    (Your movie choice is making Christopher Plummer cry manly tears. How could you, Joyce?)

    This is a trick question, isn’t it? I’m not worried, I got plenty of favorite movies: Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, Grave of the Fireflies, Pootie Tang, Schindler’s List, Shawshank Redemption, The Fifth Element. . .um. . .there must be a few that pass the Bechdel test. . .Anchorman, Armageddon, Ace Ventura, Almost Famous, American Beauty, Alien 1-3, Akira, Avatar, Blood Diamond, Braveheart, Bad Taste, Butterfly Effect, Breakfast Club, okay, I don’t remember exactly, obviously the two girls talk to each other, but I don’t think the topics ever move away from boys and how to get their attention, this is incredibly depressing and I’m still only on B. Okay, I’ve got it, Pan’s Labyrinth, that took much longer to figure out than it should.

      Also, the best movie ever in my opinion is a tie between TransFormers (1986), X-Men: Days of Future Past, Star Wars: A New Hope, Batman (198-whatever the hell), Guardians of the Galaxy, and RoboCop (the original, not the reboot)
