    Fevre Dream. Best vampire novel.

    Twilight

    Because he was turned into a vampire? Also she seems to have missed the key point, that being that Bella is unable to do anything by herself.

    Twilight

    It could only have been good if it acknowledged how fucked up their relationship is and presented it as such. You know, instead of "look! this is what every girl should strive for!", you have "so this is a fucked up relationship try not to get into one". Realistic characterisation and all that...

    Twilight

    I think the sparkling thing is the apex of absurdity so far as Twilight is concerned. The icing on the cake, if you will.

    Twilight

    I like to think of it as a sign that she realises how utterly fucked up the whole thing is. Except she probably doesn't. Come now, what about the Muse and the Placebo and the Patrick Wolf and the Radiohead?

    Claire and Quil (or Quill possibly? not sure).

    The first time this is demonstrated? Lolita reference. Look at the names.

    Twilight

    It's okay, True Blood is amazing enough to counter the effect of Twilight when it comes to vampires in general.

    Twilight

    I would guess more people read Shakespeare anyway, simply because he is required reading in practically every English course ever.

    Twilight

    is this better (right) (ignore the moustache, it is for historical accuracy): why, yes! yes, it is a film about Salvador Dalí's tortured gay lovelife.

    Twilight

    he wants them to marry first, but Bella doesn't want to marry at eighteen (despite wanting to become a vampire for the rest of eternity at eighteen?) and yes, most of the epic meadow scene is verbatim from the book, if that gives you an idea of how horrible the book is. also am I the only one...

    Twilight

    Midnight Sun? It's Twilight from Edward's point of view. Apparently written because Robert Pattinson was like "he has no character how the fuck am I meant to act this". Then he got the first twelve chapters of it and they were leaked online. There is absolutely no connection between these two...

    Twilight

    I never said anything about quality. I thought it was quite clear I was talking about popularity, since comparing things to Harry Potter generally brings to mind the books' immense popularity.

    Twilight

    <3 These are all very relevant, too. Plus Cleolinda is amazing. eta: So, guys. You know how some people were calling Twilight "the next Harry Potter!" and so on? I give you Exhibit A: a screenshot of the amazon.com bestselling books page, a) a day before Breaking Dawn came out and b) twelve...

    Twilight

    Give her a chance; apparently she absolutely hates interviews. Maybe she should try the "see how much you can criticise the books until the fans start hating you" tactic. Anyway, I watched the movie yesterday out of morbid curiosity. I will say this: I have never read the book (only excerpts...

    It's funny, Robert Pattinson is pretty attractive normally. Just not as Edward.

    Twilight

    So... vampires reach physical maturity really quickly, then don't age for hundreds of years? This strikes me as a device to maximise nubility.

    Twilight

    Okay wait are you serious about the last bit? I am only informed up till the end of book four, and even there it gets hazy.

    Twilight

    No, no, I'm sure that's why it was a creepy mutant vampire baby thing.

    Twilight

    This, although lengthy, is an excellent explanation of a lot of what I don't like about Twilight (Cirrus, there is a lot about the sexist aspect, too, if you're interested).
