Apparently Stephanie Meyer thinks stalking is really romantic (she stated thus in an interview that doesn't have a working link anymore).

I'm pretty sure others, like Shiori Ino, wouldn't agree.

Is it just be or is Edward the creepest character ever put on a movie screen.  He seems to want to controll every aspect of Bella's life and we are supposed to like his for it.  Twilight has real twisted logic.

Well, you have to keep in mind who exactly wrote this drivel. Basically, a repressed Mormon chick who apparently has the hots for the dangerous, controlling asshole type. "But he only does it because he loves me!"

No, he does it because to him, you're a possession to be done with as he sees fit.
I mean it I find him to be really creepy and the fact that woman like him is making me affraid for the future of the human race. 

:D

I think I'm gonna get one of these later on today...

I love it.

It's essentially a mix of the 'badboy' fantasy and a harlequin romance, instead of the swarthy farmhand, misunderstood convict or biker from the wrong side of the tracks it's a vampire.   It's a story that's existed for centuries.

I like the t-shirt that says "MY NAME IS TWILIGHT AND I AM A DRACULA"

I've never read the books and haven't seen the rifftrax yet, but it still makes me chuckle.

Besides the armadillo & the Golden Onion, it's all about Alice, dig: (it's time to plug this again!)




And yes, after contemplating it for a few months, I'll don the cocktail dress & high heels!

I hope that in the next movie, Alice's fancy hair finally allows her to take flight.

Why not? This is Twilight. The vampires do sparkle in the sun, afterall.

Let's not delve too deeply in her mind. Who knows the horrible dark things you'll find down there.

My guess is that she wanted something "magical and beautiful" and a convenient plot devise for having the Cullens playing baseball during the day instead of the exploding into flame thing.

God damnit I hate the woman who wrote these.  Hate hate hate hate.  She wants to write a shitty romance story, and she wants there to be vampires, so she makes these super creatures that have almost none of the features of vampires (in fact, the only one being that they drink blood) but she calls them vampires.

I guess I shouldn't be too upset.  The vampires in "My Best Friend is a Vampire" were the same.

But you know, I have a sincerely hard time deciding which incarnation of vampires I hate more... Twilight or True Blood.

I can't hate someone I've never met, so I'm not with you there. It's not like Stephanie Meyers knew what a huge deal this was all going to be and how many people would be against it when she wrote the stupid books.

However, her treatment of vampire mythology gets my blood boiling as well. Yes, not all fictional vampires are created equal but dammit there are certain rules that shouldn't be ignored! The whole seduction of becoming a vampire is eternal life and beauty, but at the same time you had to face the consequences like never being able to see the sun again and basically being a killer.

And of course the whole damned for all eternity thing...

I find her mind more scary then real vampires.

Where is Blade when you need him?!
