I've been forced here against my will

Yeah, that was quite disturbing. Those books glorify bestiality AND necrophilia if you think about it.

I heard that "Bella" doesn't even smile at her own wedding in one of those movies.

Hey, man!

Are you frequenting any MCU/DC threads here yet?

Wilkommen in unserem Forum! Es ist besser als IMDB.

You're right--we'll defer this discussion to its own thread later.

OK just making a cuppa then I'll start it. Back in a jiffy.

Apologies to the OP

Lisboa. You?

Didn't I read somewhere that 50 Shades actually started out as Twilight Fanfiction?

Ramada/Odivelas.

Glad to meet another Tuga.

@Miss Vicky: Let me rephrase that really quickly for you: The benefit in this case was of course that they introduced you to the wonderful worlds of Harry Potter and LOTR. The downside, you are indeed correct, was that you were forced to watch Twilight. I feel you on that one.

@Sexy Celebrity: Hi there, Sexy.

@dteam6: Thanks! I'm pretty certain I remember that name. 11 years - impressive! (PS: Mario is king.)

@Dani8: Everything in order. I must say, the first Harry Potter book is significantly less mature in style and writing than the later ones. I agree that the first book can be a little too easy at times, but particularly from the third book and on, you're in for one hell of a ride! Never read or seen Fifty Shades or Twilight. No intention of doing so in the future either.

@Wplains: Portugal! That's awesome. A couple of friends and I follow Portuguese football closely. Often place solid bets on Porto, Benfica and Sporting. They seldom disappoint! Congratulations, well in arrears, on the EURO 2016 victory. I would love to see another Germany - Portugal game in the near future.

@CosmicRunaway: Vielen Dank! Ohne Zweifel.

I can't keep track of all your guys Well if I didn't say hello already....hello!

Yes. I started a twilight thread which was moved (sorry to the mods for posting in the wrong place) to the movie discussion board up the top. I will get onto 50 shades in the thread next to encourage discourse, although I dont know much about it other than it's pretty terrible. I just didnt want to keep hijacking this thread.

This is great, Daniel. Do you mind if I call you that? No worries at all if you do, my dear. By the way, my name is Lisa. It doesn't matter which you use. I'll answer to either one. So anyways, I'm hoping you join this new group . . . Alfred Hitchcock. We will watch a movie every week, and discuss it with each other. We will spend a week watching and chatting, before we move on to the next film. The first film is Psycho. All of you should join in. Dani, LittleDevil, etc . . . This is going to be a lot of fun. Click here, and see the post about it. The movies to watch, are listed there. The 15th through the 22nd, is the time listed for Psycho. I hope you guys join in.

Please call me Daniel. I'll call you Lisa, the name of my aunt. Always liked the name.

I'm quite packed with work in the coming weeks, but I would love to get in on some of this. Awesome initiative!

Plus one for this!

My pleasure...

No, it was phrased perfectly because all of the film series I mentioned in that post were awful. Though of the three, I'd actually be more likely to rewatch a Twilight movie than either Harry Potter or LOTR because Twilight's acting and special effects were at least good for a laugh.

Also LOTR movies are way too damn long.
