Grandparents || F13

[certainthings]

My grandparents are in their mid 80's. I found out today that on the inside they're secretly 16 year old girls.

They bought Twilight.
They watched Twilight.
They apparently enjoyed Twilight.

My mind might be a bit blown. Obviously, I took the dvd from them because I am curious about the movie. And I did read the book but don't remember much about it.

* * *

Aunt, her fiancee and I pay-per-viewed F13 tonight.

Ugh. I really would like to LIKE this movie but I just don't. I think I'd be a little bit more okay with it if it wasn't for Panabaker's fucking dumbass face. I want to stab things when I see it and in that movie it's in a lot. Which is annoying and difficult because a lot of the time it was near Jared's beautiful hot like burning face.

Okay, obviously Clay is an attractive person and he seemed like a nice guy who was just out looking for his sister. But if you were in the middle of the woods and your cell didn't work would you really volunteer to help a stranger like that? Honestly? Really? C'mon! Would she have gotten in the van if Clay had candy? What if instead of looking for his sister he was looking for his puppy would she have gone then? Is she extremely stupid? The answer to that question is yes.

When Clay and Jenna stop because he needs to change the batteries in his flashlight, they hear someone and they have to HIDE. RIGHT NOW. Uhm. Why? I don't get it. Why wouldn't they assume it was someone from the cabin? Or a cop coming to say, 'You're not supposed to be on this here property, git goin' now, ya hear?' And they could say, 'Sorry. Didn't see any signs.' And then leave? I do not understand why they had to HIDE. NOW.

Not related to the movie but based on a screencap keepaofthecheez posted the other day and also from looking at his hands in the movie it appears that Jared uses his thumbnail as his coke nail. I thought the pinky nail was the common nail used. :p

Why do I dislike Panabaker's face SO MUCH.

Why can't I like this movie? (hint: see above)

Granted. my parents are in their 50's and 60's, but they also enjoyed Twilight. Go figure. LOL

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Wow. Maybe they should've marketed the movie at old people.

[tabularassa.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I don't get the appeal.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

LOL, your grandparents are FTW, srs. :p

I dislike Panabaker also. She needs to diaf, the dumb bitch.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Seriously.

We went out for lunch and my grandma is an *old* old lady and walks slow with a walker. I can't remember how it came up but my aunt says something along the lines of, 'It's like that commercial about senior abuse.' And then she mimed grabbing my grandma's arm (her mom's arm) and says, 'C'mon! Let's go!' in a mock angry voice. Then my grandpa says, 'I do that all the time it doesn't work, she just keeps going slow.' Then he put his hand on her walker and said all sweet, 'Hi.' My grandma's response to that was to growl at him.

I kind of love them.

And yes, that does need to happen to Panabaker. Or at the very least I'd like her face to be removed.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

Omg, too cute! *smooshes them together*

Removed with Tom Hanniger's pickaxe perhaps? :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I do like that image.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Panabaker irritated the shit out of me in Sky High.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I actually didn't mind her in that movie, I'm going to guess it's because her stupid face wasn't near Jared's. Or maybe it was because she was younger and her face didn't look quite as weird as it does now.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it was her character more than HER. I wanted that bitch to fall off the school and die.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Ahh.

[notthebigspoon.livejournal.com]

I had the same kind of 'WTF ARE YOU SMOKING?' moment when I found out that my grandparents now watch Family Guy religiously. Only they refer to the show as 'Lois & Peter'.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Ahahaa. Nice.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

My mom only tolerates Twilight cause I kinda like it. But my aunt/stepsis? She's GONE over it like a 13 yr old. She's almost 40 so I sort of found it odd as heck that she wanted and tried to fangirl it with me. She's like my second Momma so I'm creeped out naturally.

I still sort of don't like F13th. I've tried to watch it enough, lord knows I have for both versions, but something still bugs me over it. At least I like MBV more and actually know what I like there, and that movie still makes me glee like a moron on occasion.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I think I hate F13 a little more each time I watch. Okay, I've only seen it four times so far but still. It's just so ... ugh.

What is it about MBV that makes you glee?

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

MORE THAN FOUR. I think this is why I've been obsessively watching Leonardo Dicaprio films this weekend. I'm trying to un-detox my brain plus I just...each time I watch it I'm like 'OH GOD WHY?'

Uhm, alot, but mostly I'm utterly fascinated with crazypants!Tom and the insane things you can do with a pickaxe (from a forensic standpoint mostly) because..yeah.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that.

I don't own the movie yet. But, I will. And my plan is to watch it so much that eventually I'm literally vibrating with anger and wtfness toward the movie and so after a bit of that and some more rewatching I should hopefully come 'round to at least tolerating the movie. Right? I know, it's the best plan EVER! :p

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I do think I'm starting in on Romeo + Juliet in uhm , 10 minutes? Only cause the 3 disc edition of Titanic I have is UBER BUCKETS O' TIME LONG. I've had it on since like 6 am and it's almost 12 pm atm.

In theory it sounds good, but yeah let me know how that works out because I still hate it and tolerate it if only because of Jared. :P The sad thing is? I own a regular copy of it and the Blu-Ray and I can't bring myself to actually tell my parents I think it's a awful film.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen any of those movies in a long long time but yeah, starting on Romeo and Juliet would be good. It's got a good soundtrack if I remember correctly.

It'll be awhile before I can get started on that but I will let you know how it goes. I just. :sighs: There's so many things about the movie that piss me off. For example, how is Jason so stealthy and ninja like in some cases? And the leg trap at the beginning ... how'd he know to place it JUST THERE in that perfect spot so that that guy would get trapped there? And when he threw the axe? Really? His aim is THAT good? Does he practice for a few hours every day?

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

I do like that movie ever so much even if whenever I see Paul Rudd as Paris my head kind of morphs him into the character he played in Clueless.

Y'know, you're right, but to be fair he did sort of 'run/walk fast' in the originals, but all of that other stuff makes no sense. Then again, if he was what 5? 6? When that started he's had time to kind of perfect things but yeah not even then *sigh*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, good point about him practicing since he was young. You'd think that maybe some agency would come along and recruit him to be a sniper or something.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

Now that? Would probably incite more fear. I mean sniping gun and a bandage over your head (with see through eye holes)? Maybe he'd have more luck if he'd just sniped them all with a gun.

But...maybe not.

[ongiara.livejournal.com]

Haha, I gotta say your grandparents sound like fun people :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They kinda are.

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

Why can't I like this movie? Because it was really, really terrible - and not the fun kind of terrible, either.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

You're not wrong.

[lalita82.livejournal.com]

Your grandparents are kind of adorable.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They really are.

[karabou.livejournal.com]

it appears that Jared uses his thumbnail as his coke nail.

Whaaaat?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Heh. His thumbnail is ridiculously long.

[karabou.livejournal.com]

OH. Ew.

[santacarlagypsy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. After re-watching F13 again after buying it, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really like the movie much at all. In fact, I wanted to beat the shit out of every single character who was not Clay Miller while watching. :(

BUT. Jared looks amazing enough in the movie to make it worth owning and to justify me watching it repeatedly, I have to admit.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I like a few of the characters and I do enjoy Clay ... but I hate Panabaker/Jenna so damn much that it kind of takes over everything.

Jared being pretty is the best part of the movie over all.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahah. I know there are a lot of people older than 16 who like/enjoy the movie but I figured that was the average age.

I probably wouldn't mind her as much if I didn't dislike her face so much.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't think she's pretty but I don't think she's *ugly* just ... very. Meh. But yeah. Mostly her face just bugs me.

Dude, my pastor and his wife are hardcore into Twilight. Like, Pastor's wife is trying to talk my sister into going to a con in Chicago with her. I mean, I like it alright for the lulz, but seriously? WTF?? It transcends demographics, apparently.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Holy crap.

[giantlovetingle.livejournal.com]

They bought Twilight.

My mind is also blown. I think I would die a little on the inside if my grandparents watched Twilight. O_o

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It's so very odd.
