Twilight has inspired my NANOWRIMO project for this year: Outdo HER. Pretty much the same for me. Slightly related, but went to a bookstore a few minutes ago, and all I could see was Twilight or some kind of teen vampire thing novels. It's kinda depressing, made even worse by the fact that I didn't find anything interesting to read.

T'is true. {Spoiler}The series goes all kindsa creepy. The thought is that the wolves all "imprint" on someone without any say-so on who it is. One of them imprints on a freakin three year old and spends all his time with the kid, determined that when the kid grows up they'll be together. Ew.
Jacob, the wolf dude taht's all in love with Bella for God knows what reason (mopey, love struck emo goth chicks FTW, I guess) finally gets rejected and, after Bella's kid thing is born, Jacob is leaving all dejected and sad-like, sees the kid and realizes he's in love. Yeah.
I guess there's no Were-Chris Hansen out there, otherwise he'd be super busy. It's INCREDIBLY strange that due to a conversation about Ann Rice books I ended up making a Chris Hansen vampire hunter joke yesterday. If I had any photoshop skills i would shop me up a Van Hansen poster right now. Can this suffice? PS Sorry for the bad MSPaint skills

Why does this story make women throw logic out the window? I've met 2 grown women who have more or less given up on men to save themselves in case a fictional teenaged vampire somehow comes to life and sweeps them off their feet. And I've heard stories about alot more women who feel the same way. Isn't that obsessive insanity?

Being a guy who treats his girl as well as Edward treats his, I have no sympathy. Of course, if they're waiting for someone who acts like Pattinson does in the movies, THEN they're insane.

They're not just waiting for a vampire dude. They're waiting for a SPARKLY VAMPIRE. God, I hope vampires are real, just so when they reveal themselves, they look like this:

How is telling Twilight fans to shut the f*** up not good for anyone? They'd either deafen me with their screeching or suffocate me with their Team Edward/Jacob T-shirts. Not to mention they'd chuck me out the cinema Again though, you'd be getting chucked out of "New Moon." Am I failing to see a downside here?

Unless you spent money on the ticket to see this pile of crap, then no. It's more of an upside.

It'd actually make more sense in some respects given that he'd be exhibiting some sort of vampiric power over her.
As I think HMark mentioned that'd be an interesting twist, if it was revealed that the 'oh so hawt' vampire was actually evil incarnate, kinda like a monster should be. That'd be interesting to read about.

Is there anyway we could trick Stephanie Meyer into writing a prequel to The Dunwich Horror detailing the romance between Yog-Sothoth and Lavinia Whateley? Because I'm sure she'd do it.

Again though, you'd be getting chucked out of "New Moon." Am I failing to see a downside here? Unless you spent money on the ticket to see this pile of crap, then no. It's more of an upside. Oh, *thppppt* money. If you watch even five minutes of a Twilight movie, you've already paid dearly.

There are two things I hate about Twilight, in the following order:
1) The f***ing ANNOYING as shit fandom that has sprung up around the books and is absolutely god damn crazy and creepy.
2) The only slightly less annoying backlash of people who read summaries of the books online and make massive assumptions about them.
The books are an enjoyable summer read. They're also not worth the amount of love or hate they recieve.

It was worse... I went to a midnight showing for the hell of it, I'm glad I did. The movie broke down twice, and it was awesome. There was a girl that was crying, the place was going nutz an then when the movie came back on, and it was a minute longer into the movie, all these crazy girls started shouting REWIND IT!! When we walked out of the theatre we got free passes, so I would say it was worth it.
