Dunno, a lot of fans of the book hated the film interpretations though. AKA your cohost. XD

The appeal is they give me a reason to listen to more Rifftrax. Also, the movies aren't THAT bad. They just make for hilarious jokes.

I don't know. Teenagers like all sorts of silly stuff each generation. Eventually they grow out of it. Teenagers? Obviously you've never met a Twilight Mom, then. My sister-in-law is in her 40s and is firmly on Team Edward. She has a room just for her Twilight stuff. Me, I lasted about 10-15 minutes of the first one, mainly because I was ignoring it. Then Eddykins said that Bella Sue's scent was like his own personal heroin. This caused me to give the TV a "Did he just say what I think he did?" look, then burst out laughing so hard I had to leave the room. Best part was my teenage niece looking at me in obvious confusion. SMH.

My sister-in-law is in her 40s and is firmly on Team Edward. She has a room just for her Twilight stuff. That's absolutely terrifying. You do realize that one day, you will find Robert Pattinson's skeleton tied to a chair in there, right? I'm Just preparing you now so you can come up with an appropriate statement for the police.

I can sum this query up, with the help of a visual aide. Win. I kinda get teenage girls liking it. But if your a 40-something momand youre obsessed with it, then you're kinda sad

Honestly, the acting (on Pattinson's part) is utterly amazing. Edward in the books is always described as "looking as if in tremendous pain...because he's trying to hard not to hurt Bella." Robert got the looking like he's in pain part down to a science!
Also, in the books, Edward is more the Mary Sue than Bella. Bella is really just a bitch.

There's one good part of the entire series. In New Moon. Between the moment Edward leaves, and the moment Bella goes to Italy. For that brief section, Bella seems almost likeable, even if she's just using her friend as a short term fix.

I saw the first and thought it was ok. I decided that I didn't like it enough to care about watching the rest. I do find some of the anti-Twilight arguments hilarious. Like "Vampires DON'T Sparkle in sunlight". Says who? We're talking about fictional creatures, so there is no right or wrong.

My problem with the sparkling isn't the sparkling itself, but the numerous plot holes that it would naturally create for vampires like the Cullens living among humans on a daily basis.
I suppose every time it's sunny, Dr Carlisle Cullen disappears. Bad luck for anyone who needs his medical expertise. They'll have to wait until it gets overcast.

Best part of this series is the acting of Michael Sheen. He just doesn't give a crap and it's awesome.

I still wish we got the original planned version of the Twilight film adaptation, which basically would've thrown the book out the window and have Edward as the main character basically being Blade, going around killing other vampires. It was basically going to be an action flick aimed at guys.

Already sounds more interesting than what Superman is now. I might actually read that comic because at least it'll be something new other than the same dern thing that's been done for the past 70+ years.

Because the film poster for the third movie is freaking hilarious. Just look at how the two main characters are engaged in a chase across an icy patch of water and how utterly bored everyone looks.

I think the series should have ended with Angel showing up and demanding that Edward give his personality back.
