I'd compare its badness more to things like Girls Just Want to Have Fun or Centerstage. It's not good, but it has that cheesiness that can appeal to the 12-year old girl in you.

Word! Totally agree.
I'm debating whether I should buy the DVD, or just wait until it comes to starz and dvr it. I'll probably buy the DVD, just for Rob's commentary.
I loved Twilight, and all it's awesome cheeziness. But what it with the insane obsession with Eddie Cullen? (I just like calling him Eddie lol). I get the appeal...sort of. But Bella can't even makeout with dude! Much less have sex with him. I never read the books (Don't plan too), so I don't know if that changes. Plus he's kind of a douche.
I kinda dig Rosalie and her obvious contempt for Bella. I loved when their in the garage, and Eddie tells her to put on Bella's coat and she's all "why? what she to me", and I'm like word! Her Ed aren't married, hell their barely dating! I also love the stink eye she gives her in the New moon trailer haha. I'm probably the only person who noticed that.
This is probably a stupid question, but why did they need the thunder for the baseball game?

Because the vamps are so superstrong that when they hit the ball, it sounds like thunder.
Or something.
Geez, (a) Stewart is the worst actress ever and (b) all the "love" scenes between her and Edward were like watching emo paint dry. So dull.

I think the "makeout" scene would of been more "steamier" with a different actress. I'm sorry but Kristen Stewart looks about 14 to me, and well Eddie doesn't. Plus I don't think she's a good actress. They should of got Amber Tamblyn to play Bella, she has that regular girl next door look to her. Plus she looks Eddie's age, and can actually act. But that probably would of taken away from the cheeziness of the movie. Well.... maybe not.

I like Kristin Stewart in the movie. I think she comes across as a genuine and awkward teenage girl. Not to say there aren't bad scenes, but I don't think Meryl could sell "You're pale white and ice cold." I just know that in the books, I hated Bella and thought she was a whiny, entitled snot. But movie Bella seemed less annoyed by everything that wasn't Edward.

Geez, (a) Stewart is the worst actress ever and (b) all the "love" scenes between her and Edward were like watching emo paint dry. So dull. So many plot holes, so little time.... Seriously, she had the same expression on her face 99.9% of the time. I finally figured out one of the things that bugs me about this (and many other) OMG OTP!!!!s that contemporary YA fic tries to sell us, either via movie or book... there is no joy between the couple in question. They're intense and sometimes passionate and always angsty, but... there's no happiness or silliness or anything else to fully flesh out the relationship into something multi-dimensional. I also need to pick apart the whole "Meyers doesn't know how to create an alternate/fantasy universe thing"... T and I are gonna have a field day with that one, huntergrayson!

No silliness? How dare you! They had 3.4 seconds of joy when they were playing baseball and 1.7 seconds of giggliness when Edward pulled the dent out of Bella's car!
So what was your rating between IKWKM and Showgirls, Dwan?

Waaaay bellow Showgirls, but about six crucial steps above IKWKM. When it provides lots of fodder for a theme party, that's always good!

I can't dissect this film anymore. Because the more I do, the more I realize how ridiculous and stupid the story is, and not in a good way either. I'm just gonna leave all my logic, and possibly my brain at the door, like I did the first time I watched it.
