Why the hell is Stephanie Myer so popular?[/quote]
It’s a mystery… my guess is that the Twilight movies and books literally fill a hole in the lives of their target audience (if you catch my drift)…
It’s like Playgirl with fangs.[/quote]
It also helps that girls always fantasize about finding a bad boy and changing him and having him eventually love her and make his world about her. Most girls whether they admit it or not like the idea of the badboy that treats them like a princess.
Having a “killing machine” boyfriend who becomes pussy whipped created the perfect storm for most young girls to go ape shit. Not to mention a lot of females find the thought of a vampire sexy and attractive.[/quote]

But its a monster…jeez…I just don’t understand.

No. The problem isn’t that YOU don’t understand. You DO understand. But that’s not the problem either. The problem is MOST PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND what a vampire IS. LIke I said before these books/this concept that a vampire has FEELINGS is a perversion of the very essence of vamprism. The metaphor of a vampire is lost on these people AND THERE LIES THE PROBLEM.
ON the same side of the coin they have no idea what the fuck a werewolf is either. The classic idea I mean. A werewolf, when transformed, is a blood thirsty supernatural beast that will annhiliate ANYTHING it comes across. If a werewolf, in animal form, came across it’s own mother, that bitch wouldn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hell of surviving.
These books tear apart the classical concept of these creatures and create something fluffy and cuddly you want to take home to your mom…

God damn I hate to admit I have read these books, but for those of you wondering what the appeal is, here goes: These books justify every psychotic, selfish, neurotic impulse a female might have.
At her old school, Bella was plain and ordinary, but in this new small town she is suddenly exotic and wanted by everyone.
Bella falls for a guy who is aloof. After screwing around a bit he suddenly takes off. Instead of it being that she is an annoyingly insipid air head, it is because he is so in love with her but is scared by his feelings. Reality: sometimes guys will screw you and leave you for no reason.
Her irrational response to the break-up is to stop talking to everyone for months at a time. She wallows in her own misery for way longer than is appropriate. Oh and lets not forget the blatantly suicidal actions.
To make herself feel better she starts fucking with the head of the only guy who is willing to put up with her bullshit. She strings him along but never puts out. She relies on him for everything but gives nothing in return. But in the end it is all OK because (spoiler alert) he is destined to fall in love with her eventual daughter (sick). So really it wasn’t that she was using some poor sap until someone better came along.
Edward is beyond wealthy. Would she really be willing to sign up for an eternity of living in a sewer and eating rats? I’m thinking the whole life of luxury, ability to purchase anything at any time thing is a huge bonus.
She has an excuse for being completely irresponsible as someone is always there to clean up her mess. She doesn’t have to apologize to anyone for anything because she is under love’s spell.
Edward can read everyone’s mind but hers. This makes her a “mystery” and a “challenge” when in reality she should just be honest and upfront instead of playing fucking mind games.
Since it is “true love” then no one questions the motivation of an 18 year old girl who marries a rich, 150 year old dude. Oh, did I mention that she immediately gets knocked up–you know to ensure she gets what she deserves if anything ever goes wrong (I’m looking at you Elin)
And the big one is eternal youth, beauty, grace, money, and basically living in a fairy tale for all eternity. Fuck the fact that she had to turn her back on family and friends or that she will never be a normal, functioning member of society again. “Oh gee. I’ll miss my family but fuck them, they’ll get over it”.
As an adult I can look at this garbage for what it is, but there are young impressionable girls reading this shit. Now you have a bunch of teenage girls dreaming of a life where they never grow old, never have to work, and where the infatuation of youth is really their soul mate. Oh, and let’s not forget how awesome it is to be pregnant at 18. Shameless.
Fuck me, I have put way too much thought into this.

I’m too easily distracted. The legs in the avi plus the fact that my eyes immediately picked up on the first 2 words in the last sentence caused me to completely overlook your entire post.

Legs?
What legs?
The post was great though, I always concentrated on the pussified male actors, I did not realize how fucked up that whole thing is from a female perspective.

I’ve read every word of this post and I’ve come to this conclusion:
Teenager girls are idiots.
Thanks for the post, SP. Good to see an Adult Woman’s perspective and a Teenage Girl’s perspective.
lol you guys are all over-reacting way too much. I’ve seen all of them…I’d say the 3rd one was the best. My girl didn’t have to drag me to the theatres or beg me to go see it and I didn’t have to ask for sex afterwards lol. She watches enough of the movies that I want to watch that has no appeal for her…and you guys all know predators is comin out soon!
Besides that…like greg said you can enjoy it…I mean you can critisize every little thing about the movie if you really want to…you can do that with every movie…if you go in with the intensions of OH im gonna fuckin hate this movie…you’ll find enough things that bug you to do that most likely.
AGAIN - Guys…YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET FUCKING AUDIENCE. Do you think they really give a shit about making this movie good for 30 year old men? No…not at all. Do you think they care that they sparkle…and that makes you cry about it cause they should be disgusting creatures, adn burn and all this evil shit. C’mon guys…12 year old girls are seeing this movie…do you want them to see that stuff?
They are not RUINING a classic horror of vampires and wolves…again this movie is supposed to be on the LIGHT side…if you want to see the horror/graphic shit…yes go watch underworld…blade is good all that…if you want to watch a LOVE movie, involving vampires and wolves…with a target audience of pre-teen/teenage girls…then THIS IS IT.

Like I’ve said before, I enjoy some of the chick flicks I watch, I don’t go into a movie expecting to hate it. The last twilight was actually watchable IMO and much better than the first. This movie was just plain bad, hence the reason it is getting bad reviews even by the same people the raved about the first 2.

Bull shenanigans. This gives you even more reason to give them grief. They’re dreaming about being a lazy, indecisive cocktease. I stop staring at the avatars and think, sir.
