As are blowjobs apparently, I just can't get behind a religion that disapproves of fun sexytimes.

Although I do have a theory that seeing as he's a fairy (because vampires don't sparkle) that Edward cums glitter.

Actually the LDS (Mormon) Church's stance on any sex act is basically "what a husband and wife do with each other in the privacy of their own bedroom is no one's business". If getting a Hummer from my wife was verboten then I'd have been excommunicated the day I was married.

I still find it hilarious that after all the "BLAHBLAH GREATEST BOOK EVER" "BETTER THAN HARRY POTTER" from Twihards and all the media coverage. After the last Twilight movie came out, no more than two months later everyone had moved on. No more fan pages popping up on my facebook, no more hearing about it from crazy highschool and college girls. It's like it never existed, and that's how it should be.

Luckily so far the spinoffs (50 shades etc.) have had the same kind of fame. Just blips, fads that go away as quick as they appeared.

All you have now are a small enclave of insane fans (the twihards). That will fanatically defend Twilight and Stephanie Myers as better than the Bible and Jesus.

Unfortunately 50 Shades is getting a movie this summer, which I think will reinvigorate whatever is left of that fandom.
 
I have a strange feeling that the 50 Shades movie is going to go down as one of the most notoriously bad movies in recent memory, to the point where the negative reviews far overshadow it's inevitably large box office. I mean, that fucking source material...

Made it all the way through.

Someone comment for me and tell her that Edward's abusive, Jacob's a paedophile, Bella's a bitch, SMeyer's a moron and that Stephen King's a better writer. God damn, what an utterly worthless individual.

Stephenie Meyer is such a bad writer (understatement of the universe). Describing the "attractive" character with purple prose every time you encounter him does NOT translate into good writing. Why does she have to describe him with gemstones/precious metals every damn time he shows up? Do Twilight fans have a super-short term memory like I think they do, so they forget what Edward looks like every time they turn the page? SM writes like I did when I was 14 years old *shudder*.

She's the exception to the rule that having a British accent makes you sound more intelligent and sophisticated.

Also, does anyone else feel that these obese womenchildren get so worked up and obsessive over books like Twilight and Fifty Shades because it's the only way they'll ever get to experience sexuality? Like, they know they're fugly hambeasts who will never get a man, and will remain virgins, so they get to be vicariously sexual by reading bland erotica and stupid romance books for mouth breathing tweens and when people criticize the books it's like someone personally attacking their boyfriend.

The whole gemstone style just shows how much Edward is seen as some sort of object :P

That was one of my main problems with Anne Rice, but unlike Meyer, she used to know her way around a good plot.

Undercooked is too good a word for Twilight. The fact that tween girls thought it was golden prose still mystifies me. Same with Hunger Games. At least Hunger Games had some substance, though.

Unique? Maybe it's because I'm too old but I really find it hard to hate Twilight. Is it poorly written? Absolutely. Does it set back feminism decades? For hyperbole purposes lets say sure. Are the movies bad? Totally.

The thing is it's not made for me. It's literary porn for tweens and that's fine. I'm sure a decade from now they'll look back at it like how I look back at California Dreams and have a laugh. Twihards will go through the cycle of love it beyond belief, hate it and then like it while trying to play it off as irony. The same cycle we all go through.

Now if I were still in my teens I'd rage against it and think I'm SOOOOOOO c00l for disliking something that was so popular in 2012.
