Twilight: What the $#!* is Team Edward?

Yay, it's up!

The fact that Edward is the epitome of an abusive partner always simultaneously amuses and irks me. Amusing because all these girls see him as the ideal mate, and irksome because...all these girls see him as the ideal mate. The fact that so many young girls see Edward as a "nice guy" is disturbing.

Though I have to admit, the combination of physical and psychological abuse is quite the aphrodisiac. He's a stalker you say? Hubba hubba.

Exactly. Not to mention that Bella is a blank slate, making her easy to "write oneself" into the story.

Mary fucking Sue.

I just finished reading Nightlight actually. It's a parody of Twilight and the writing style and character build up is vastly superior.

My 10 year olds story on Martians was far more superior than Twilight.

That's what HE said.

You should read New Moon! It only gets worse... I'm a huge fan of the Twilight Saga, but not of Bella. I just like the psychological aspect of the books. The story is kind of irrelevant, but it makes you think about right and wrong. Maybe if you look at it that way, you might like the books better.

I can get the same message out of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."


Just saying.

I've read both Twilight and New Moon. I don't like either of the books. There's nothing much to the plot other than the "OMG Edward is hot, he's a vampire, but I'd give my life and everything for him" aspect.

Women may say they want a sweet guy but deep down they want a guy to slap em around a bit and treat em like dirt....

Twilight makes me laugh because it's horrible.

I couldn't laugh at the fact that the actor could get about 1.5 million dollars per episode.

What the hell is this?!?! What is wrong with you?!?! Bella is a boy!!!!

I like cheap stories. Sad, but I kind of liked the movie. It's not because Edward is like so hawt and sparkly. I really don't find him all that attractive. He's kind of creepy to me actually (his face is creepy, not his vampire-ness). Bella doesn't really bother me really, but she really isn't what interests me either. Then again, I haven't seen New Moon yet, so that opinion may change. The werewolf character also doesn't bother me but again, not my interest... I like the story. I like the scenery and the idea of the story. As far as vampires and werewolves, I got more enjoyment out of Bram Stokers: Dracula and Underworld (I always want to say Underwear, but that wouldn't be right).

From a literary perspective, the use of grammar in every Twilight book was elementary and utter shit. Its worse than Harry Potter. I read them because my daughter read them because everyone else was reading them. Thank GOD she finally realized that, while she might like the story itself, the writing is utter shit. I gave her a highlighter pen, and even my 13 year old could find several errors in a few short paragraphs. Is this what we are teaching our youth? No wonder American teens are becoming stupified.

There is nothing in that book that makes me think about right or wrong. What it does make me think is that if some sparkling fuck was stalking my daughter and getting into her brain, I'd cut off his fucking head.

Underworld had way too much going on, watching it made my eyeballs hurt. LOL.

My daughter won't read them, but my oldes has read Bram's Dracula and White Wyrm, interesting books but hard to follow. Mandy's more into pop culture than the rest of us. Sigh. Breaks my heart.

I find that a lot of Robert Pattinson's pictures make him look scruffy and unwashed.

Some guys can pull off scruffy and unwashed. He's not one of them.

Also: The dude playing Jacob looks like the head of a five year old put on the body of a Men's Fitness model. It alienates me.

Not to mention that he always looks angry.

I have found more intellectual power in penny dreadfuls from the 1920's (despite the sexism, racism, etc); than from the series. Its a sad sad fad.

Well for startes New Moon Was Wonderful. The Twilight Saga is actually really Good, why dont you guys read All Of The Books, And There's A 5th Book Coming Out. Bella Swan May Seem Kind Of Boring Or Whatever Or Moody, But Shes A Character! You People Should Give It A Try.
