Yeah, I understand that SM wanted to create a love story or whatever, and she wanted to create her own version of vampires...but guess what? Yeah...it didnt work...Vampires are not a 'new thing' they have been around the block and you cant simply start making us believe that they now sparkle (WTF!?) It is just like if now werewolves transformed with the Sunlight and not with the full moon...or like if ....I dont know!!!I mean, whats next?! The dont die if you cut their head off??? I have seen some really lame vampire movies, but Twilight gets the award...I mean...there are no words to describe how insulted I felt when I saw it...And YES I SAW IT...AND NO, IT WAS NOT GOOD, I wasted 2 hours of my life...I did...and no one can give me that back! T_T On the other hand, I really like True Blood, I dont quite understand the 'silver' stuff but it is something I can actually believe, it is a good series, it is the closest thing we have to a good vampire story. I also started to watch The Vampire Diaries....Mmm...Yeah, so far its okay, a friend of mine said it is Edgy Twilight, but I loved how Damon made fun of Twilight ahahahaha ...........and they dont sparkle! Where are those really good vampire stories??? What happened to the Ancient Vampires? Why are vampires now only 120 max. years old? Do they really like high school?! Can they possible fall in love with ..................................girls like that?! Can someone please answer this!? I need some answers, and good ones...Im going crazy! And I hate to think that the more we hate Twilight, the more it gets famous...there is no end to it...We need Lestat back!!!!

Big whoop. But! I think Crystal's comment says quite pointedly that she was not bon in an era when situations were hardcore---like the 80's. I'm guessing 1991-1996? My little sister (1991) is more hardcore than Crystal, and she fucking reads yaoi comics. My little sister could creep anyone right the fuck out (while being entirely polite about the matter) like Gary Oldman's Dracula. Also, point of the matter as to movie quality: Movies suck, especially when they are specifically made without efforts to redeem the writer's script. Twilight may be a "good" movie with a "good" script but then again, a whole generation of housewives love romances and Twilight seems to prime the pump for Harlequin novels to dominate their up-and-coming readers. I can't read a romance (despite meeting the prerequisite of being female) without feeling dirty and guilty. And I like to think I'm not that shameful about sex. Also, might I point out in a feminist but not angry sort of way, vampires symbolize a very unnatural and "ungodly" way to subjugate womenfolk? Twilight seems to think that one series of novels that glorify the male role in this parasitic relationship is sufficient to change the well-known order of events. Or maybe it's just reinforcing the myth in order to brainwash our younger sisters and cousins. Fuck, I dunno, I'm haven't watched Hollywood tripe since they reinvented the fucking X-Men. Shenannigans. I wanted to say, as far as I know, that vampire myths and all that hooplah varies from person to person. Big whoop. But!

Edward is an abusive pedophile that watches young girls sleep. 2. Edward is forever underage. 3. Twilight is so cliched. 4. Stephanie Meyer wishes she were Bella. No, seriously. 5. There is no Isle of Esme on the west coast of Brazil. SMeyer, look at a map. PLEASE. 6. Vampires do not sparkle. They burn into ashes in the sun. 7. Vampires have fangs. Seriously. 8. Vampires do not turn others into vampires using freaky venom in their teeth. They let their victim drink their blood. 1. Edward is an abusive pedophile that watches young girls sleep.
