EDWARD CULLEN
doesn’t bite people, he looks like he resides in the woods, and he sparkles. Face it, he’s not a vampire, he’s a fairy.
(Robert Pattinson)
And here he is, in his natural habitat.

u know, people keep talkin s**t about the twilight vampires, but out of aaaaaall the vampires, from aaaaaall the vampire stories(and God knows, there r enogh!!), they’re the best!! They don’t have ridiculous fangs, they’re made out of marble, they’re all gorgeous(at least in the books^^) and they’re practicaly indistructible!
Weeeeeeell… This is an anti-twilight page, and we’re speaking our true opinion, so I don’t see what the problem is. If you choose to be the twitard, do so.
The only result you’ll get is those hating twilight on this page using your comment as justification of “Why Twitards are a real disgrace as they don’t read other good books”.
Oh, and on a side note…
Only psychos think marble statues are lovable.
Fangless kickass evil vamp? Try Blood Road by Edo Van Belkom.
this is not an anti-twilight page. there just happen to be a lot of anti-twilight people posting here.
personally i dont care enough to be anti-twilight.
People who are anti-Twilight are idiots. It’s just a book, either you like it and then you read the series, watch the movies, etc. or you don’t like it and it should be totally irrelevant to you and your life. And it’s the same with people who are anti-some movie, or anti-some music band.
For example, I don’t like nuts. That’s why I simply don’t eat them, and don’t concern myself with them. I don’t troll the internet saying “OMG NUTS SUCK AND PEOPLE WHO EAT THEM ARE STUPID LOL”, like the retarded anti-fans of some books, music or movies do.
so you go around talkin bout how people who post hate mail are syupid…hater
Not sure if anyone noticed, but the person is just being a troll. The name Mary Jane gives it away.
Vampire =/= emo high school pansy.
Vampire = sucks the blood out of your f**king body
Twilight = emo high school pansies.
Therefore, Twilight =/= vampires.
DENY MY LOGIC, I DARE YOU.
I agree with this. There’s no denying this logic.
And if you do, that makes you three times an idiot.
thats emo college pansy, thank you very much.
)
look einstein, just because you say something, doesn’t make it true.
the a=x, b=x =>a=b only works in math.
here, i’ll prove it:
the beatles= mindless screaming teen fan girls
the jonas brothers= mindless screaming teen fan girls
according to your logic, this would mean the beatles= the jonas brothers….
Your logic is flawed. Let me show you:
“Vampire = sucks the blood out of your f**king body”
There is no denying this statement. Even in mythologies where vampires try to control their urges, their basic instinct and means o survival is to suck the blood from living or at least still-warm human bodies. The equals sign (=) means that that is something vampires ARE or DO.
“Vampire =/= emo high school pansy”
Another statement concerning what vampires ARE. I can’t think of any good vampire stories where the blood-sucking fiends (or demons) are sad little high school students. So it follows that vampires ARE NOT emo high school pansies.
“the beatles= mindless screaming teen fan girls”
The Beatles (SHIFT button is your friend) ARE NOT screaming fangirls. They were a very talented, very famous musical group. The Jonas Brothers are a musical group, they ARE NOT their mindless screaming fangirls.
Logic FAIL.
Blarg WIN.
Does the body HAVE to be f**king?
Logic WIN!
yup! that’s how i sum it up 2!
Two points:
1) Read Bram Stoker’s Dracula, you nut job.
2) Being the best vampire is like winning the Special Olympics. You won, but you’re still retarded.
the only good thing that came out of Bram Stoker’s Dracula was making vampire stories popular! Have u acctually red this book?!?! It’s crap!!! It tells stories of cowboys living in Transilvania and some pansy ass brit who need to be rescued by a “german” “doctor”, who is acctually dutch! I can belive i’m gonna say this but i’d rather read Hannah Montana’s memoirs then to have to read Bram Stoker again!!!
Well, don’t that just tell us all we need to know about you!
“acctually” is actually spelled with one L.
hmm, if you’re going to argue about a typo, at least do it right, lol. I think you meant one C
Mm, yeah. One L was the joke.
Ok first of all if you hate Twilight so much why are you taking up all your time just say how stupid it is if you take time on something that means you enjoy it.
you missunderstand; we enjoy winding up pussies who get all stressy and defensive everytime we say TWIGHLIGHT SUCKS!!!!111!!!
I take time doing my taxes, but I don’t enjoy them.
no its not
Joke-getting fail.
I’ve “acctually red” both books. One was a brilliant psychosexual thriller. I read it in high school because it was a challenging read, a classic, and I couldn’t put it down. The other was ill-conceived, poorly written and repetitive. I read it to see what all the fuss was about. I was so happy to finish it because it was boring. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Did I mention it was repetitive? As in, yes, we get it, he’s good looking. She’s infatuated. No need to repeat it on every frackin’ page.
Guess which book was which?
im guessing the repetitive one was pride and prejudice
Aw, why’d you hafta say that? I love Pride and Predjudice.
there are four books dumbass
I see the problem here. You tried reading it in English, a language you’re obviously not fluent in.
Win!
Aww. I really like Bram Stoker’s book. It tails off at the end and the pseudo-science seems dated these days, but it has some wonderful scenes that were really shocking at the time it was written.
Stoker wrote Dracula as a master of nature, tied to the land he came from so strongly that he could only sleep in its earth. A terrifying apparition who wasn’t human and had never been human. We’ve become somewhat tainted by the legacy of Anne Rice (also a brilliant author) and her “nearly human” vampires.
I have not “acctually red” Dracula. I have, however, actually read Dracula. It’s one of the few vampire novels that is worth more than the paper on which it is printed.
If Twilight and Bram Stoker’s Dracula were to get into a fight, Dracula could start cooking a 3-minute egg, begin the battle, and still have two minutes and 58 seconds left to relax before his egg was done.
very nicely played
Your an idiot. Bram Stoker’s Dracula hasn’t been out of print since it was published in 1897 and judging by your “synopsis”, I can tell you haven’t read it.
popularity has absolutely nothing to do with quality, twilight proves it. my “synopsis” is what i think of bram stoker’s dracula, which i did read and didn’t enjoy. at all
You are absolutely right.
Twilight = Popular
Twilight =/= Quality
Popularity =/= Quality
QED
You’re saying that Dracula is crap, yet you’re a Twilight fan! Lol! You know that Twilight was written, well…horribly, right?
pls read my comments if you’re gonna comment on them. you got it all wrong, i’m not a twilight fan, i’m just objective enough to be able to recognise the superiority of the twilight vampires. i’m not talking about edward here, but in general. SM’s vamps are, per definition, superior to vampires in other stories
ever looked at Hellsing?
Slow down Van Hesling…
*giggles hysterically* You’re funny. You’re really funny!
…oh, wait, you were serious, weren’t you? My bad.
actually, they’re veggie vamp, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm’kay?
You’re a twit or just a stupid 16yo girl who hasn’t got aaaaany clue of what a goooooood vampire -story is like. so like, shut up! They sparkle? i mean WTHF????
hey twilights a good book. im not obsessed or anything, i just like her style of writing. not all people who like twilight are idiots. (even though i do know some)
Not a fan of teen-gothic myself, so can’t say I’m that fond of the books, but I agree with your comment.
I have good friends who like Twilight. The people who make me sad are the ones who say they’re the BEST vampire books ever written. I couldn’t pick a best if I tried, but Anne Rice’s “Interview” and Bram Stoker’s original have got to be up there somewhere.
Now that was just an unnecessary insult to teen gothic. I can pretty well guarantee you that no teen Goth would be caught dead reading Twilight.
its seventh grade material that couldve been written better by a seventh grader
No, it’s not.
“made out of marble, they’re all gorgeous” they are the best ,,because they masturbate your wishes??
yeah i think you summed it up pretty well
ppl with bad taste should keep it to themselves
hey professor, guess what, this sentence is just a bit mixed up!!!!!
“nor reading the BACK of the book or panel does not count.”
was that supposed to say… “nor does reading the back of the book count.”
i would like to add to that by saying that i quite enjoyed Stephanie Meyers personal opinion on what vampires are and how they live, no matter what you think about the book she still made bank on the series so it seems as though all of you who hate the series and constantly ridicule those who enjoy it, are in the minority, have you seen the sales charts of that series! she has an amazing six-figure book deal with her publishing company, and then there is the movie and all the merch you see these young girls wearing. so as you sit in your cheap apartment typing on your out of date lap- top just remember the woman your ragging on is making six times more than you will in your lifetime. you should be applauding her for coming up with twilight! because i can almost guarantee none of your life achievements will be near as great as hers.
Burn!
Wrong. Twilight sold 42 million copies (of all four books in the series) worldwide. even if all those books had been sold in America, it would be less than 20% of the entire population. You fans are in the minority, sweetie.
The bottom line is that the book is horribly written. If it weren’t as popular as it is, I wouldn’t care. But, it’s much too popular. The cash cow is being milked dry and it’s sending very bad messages.
By the way, don’t try to correct others’ grammar when you used five exclamation points, heaps of run-on sentences, and didn’t even capitalize “Twilight”.
Also, popular =/= good.
I’ve read the Twilight series, and they ARE badly-written. I say this as an editor.
Her books read exactly like the average submissions of teen girls on popular fanfiction sites.
And yes, she butchered the idea of vampires.
First off, fangs are part of the vampire aesthetic. All Western vampires, since the stories were first told in Eastern Europe, have had fangs. They facilitate blood-drinking.
Secondly, not all vampires have weaknesses to garlic/silver/etc. Blade, for instance (who is far superior to Meyers’ vampires).
There are already stories about unearthly beautiful creatures who prey on humans and glitter in the sunlight. They’re faeries. No, really.
Lastly, there’s a few scenes in the books that suggest that Meyers has serious issues about sex and childbirth. That, or she’s a guro fan. Yeesh.
Oh, did I mention that Bella’s a Grade-A Mary Sue?
You wouldn’t believe how many boxes I checked for her in the “Mary Sue Litmus Test” while reading those things.
Oh my god. I love this. It’s the only comment that actually makes sense.
You’re not a vampire either. You’re a troll, aren’t you?
you are very dumb
wow! why try making a point when you can just say someone’s dumb?! hey, i know! say twilight’s dumb and i’m sure it will go away! i mean, with an argument like that, how can it not? i suggest you hold your breath till it does…
and they dont hurt anyone the dont instill fear into the hearts of mortals they cook.they fall in love with their prey and theyre creepy lookin…….so…theyre gay gnomes
you see its the fact that they sparkle who in the right mind thought sparkling vampires were hot they r not hot at all come on in what story do you see sparking vampires!!!!
Next you’ll be telling us how they can use spell check too…
Uhm… Ms. Jane? You just pointed out a couple of reasons why Twilight vampires, from a story point of view, are ridiculous.
1. Ridiculous fangs? Ok, fangs is fangs, but they aren’t the hallmark of a vamp, so I’ll take this one as a neutral point.
2. Made out of marble? So were Anne Rice’s when they reached a certain age/condition.
3. All gorgeous? This doesn’t make them better, it makes them stupid.
Either A: All the vampires are only selecting gorgeous people to make immortal (which considering some of their origin stories, is just plain unlikely, and considering the purely subjective nature of what’s beautiful/gorgeous, and what isn’t, even more unlikely that everyone would agree. I for one think Edwards actor was hit with the ugly stick when he was born, at every birthday to follow, with extra whacks on his barmitzvah.)
or
B. (And I don’t think Meyers is intelligent enough to come up with this plot), as part of their change they naturally start producing additional pheromones. This is also unlikely since again, pheromones are target specific (not everyone responds to pheromones from an individual the same way), and the fact that it would make them INCREDIBLY noticeable would put a serious dent in their ability to remain inconspicuous. A particular problem for those who lack the ability to wipe memory.
Either way, it reduces these creatures to a mere shadow of what other authors (from the ancient writers of myth through Bramstoker, Rice, and Laurell K. Hamilton) have shown them to be. Twilight vampires have a tendency to be 2 dimensional characters with all the depth of a desert mud puddle in high summer.
Now, onto ‘practically indestructible’. This again makes them utterly ridiculous as characters, with no threat to their existence except each other (and the werewolves, another trope that’s been handled better by lesser authors, let alone her betters). With this one thing, it feels like there is no threat, and thus no motivation to their angsty existance. To be fair, Edward is by far the ‘angst king’, but really.
Twilight is not without it’s merits, but those merits are mostly accidental from what I can tell.
And above all, one thing stands out above all else in these books. She is glorifying an abusive relationship, and Edward is nothing but abusive in all the classic signs of ‘domestic violence’.
http://vampirely.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/extra-credit-the-twilight-saga-and-domestic-abuse/
This is the best dissertation on the subject around, IMO.
I’d forgotten the abusive-stalker-boyfriend thing. Must have blocked it out, since the books themselves caused my ‘triggers’ to fire. Not recommended reading for victims of certain crimes.
Apparently Lauren Bacall is on Twitter. Here’s what she had to say about the Twilight film:
“Yes I saw Twilight my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever. After the ‘film’ was over I wanted to . . . smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die, so instead I gave her a . . . DVD of Murnau’s 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, now thats a vampire film!”
And that’s why I love Lauren Bacall!
after watching twilight i had to watch all three underworld films to restore my faith in the genre
THAT restored your faith? ugh.
Underworld?!? I see………
Bram Stoker’s Dracula from Francis Ford Coppola.
end of line!
I love you. Really.
Awww, back at ya, Prof!
(Assuming that was meant sincerely, of course, If it wasn’t, well then colour me all kinds of dimwitted
)
Hey Mary Jane, make me laugh, did you actually read more than 2 or 3 other vampire story? I dare ask because I had to read and watch vampire stories as much as possible last year because of my work, and honnestly, it takes only two neurones to understand how poorly written is the book and s***y adaptated the movie is. Well, not even speaking of vampires. Read the sookie stackhouse series if you wanna get good vamp characters with actual interest.
Whenever I see a twilight vamp I can’t help but take golum’s voice and croack “oooh Shinyyy”
“Eric’s hands were busy again. He latched onto one breast with his fangs extended, drawing a little blood and a sharp gasp from me, and he sucked powerfully. It was a strange sensation, because he was getting the blood and my nipple. Painful and very exciting—I felt like he was drawing the fluid from much lower. I gasped and jerked in arousal, and suddenly he raised my leg so he could enter me.”
this is what u call literature?!?! if so, i pitty u….
Did you actually read me? Did I say litterature in the same sentence as sookie stackhouse? I said good charactere developpement. Nuance.
Well, you call twilight litterature?
Have you ever read Anne Rice? If vampire stories are a genre, Rice made what you may call literature. Stocker is amazing too, you have to watch the Nosferatu movies along, it’s thrilling. You may not like the idea, but honestly, Edward, a vampire?
Shiny 80 y-o virgin taking sophomore classes forever and hunting bears in the forest whennot hiting on poor shallow Bella “who’s so common”?
COME ON!
Vampires have a sexy edge, but it’s supposed to be an edge, not to make them teddy bears without even fangs! God damn it!
the only problem i have with anne rice is when she goes into homo-erotic love scenes.
since i am hetero, they really dont do it for me and it tends to put me off. it would be okay if she had hetero scenes as well as homo scenes but in her books it s just guys-on-guys. which disenchants the whole story for me.
LOL! You’re honestly insulting the writing of other vampire stories? TWILIGHT IS HORRIBLY WRITTEN!
again, read my post, i’ve already said i don’t find SM’s style good
Its the best book ever written DONT BAG IT
Just by reading Mary Jane’s handful of posts (shortening words with single letters, using extra “!” to emphasize something) you can tell that she’s very young.
She’s just a kid. Leave her alone. She’s not going to understand something above Twilight. Just be glad she’s reading something that isn’t solely magazines, which is more than can be said about 95% of today’s youth.
Either that or someone not sober. Criticism should be taken early anyway, it’s not like developing a thick skin while young is a bad thing.
I would never let my kid read the Twilight books. Are you aware that, when Bella is in labor, Edward tears into her belly with his teeth to get the baby out. Oh, apparently there’s something about a fountain of blood and her spine breaking too. Yeah, real appropriate for the tween set it was supposedly written for.
The sad part is that grown women defend this to me. I’ve had a conversation with a woman who when I brought up sneaking into her room to watch her sleep her reaction was
“I wish somebody would do this to me. I’d get ready and look good for them. You just take it too seriously.”
All I could think about was how slutty her daughters turned out to be.
Hmm. I thought they were strongly for the teen/late-teen market. A sort of vampire equivalent to Kelly Armstrong’s “Bitten” (which, by the way, has a little too much werewolf-sex in it to make it “tween” friendly!).
I worked in retail when Twilight came out on DVD. Everyone waiting for it were moms and their 10-13 year old daughters. Which also proves that most parents don’t pay attention to what their kids read/watch.
ouch, that sounds painful
WOW, that’s disgusting.
How can that be popular amongst teenage girls? That is sick.
In my opinion, that was one of the best scenes in the entire series. It was one of the very few with any kind of action, and some sort of breaking away from it all being “OMG Edward, you’re the hottest guy on the planet! You’re a god!”
tone of the books i hear has a fairly graphic sex scene…is that what you want todays youth reading
You say fairy, I say flaming emo pansy who can’t act to save his life, who’s entire mannerisms are meant to appeal to 12 year old girls, and who disgraces all that is Vampire (however, please see my above post for why that last point is only a loose one).
Semantics, I guess.
Ooh, ooh, you forget his stalking of a minor! Remember that part?
But wait! That *must* be okay, because he *loves* her and it’s so *romantic* — never mind the fact that he’s *staring at her while she freaking sleeps*.
Pedobear approves of this act.
This may have nothing to with this particular picture, but why does this guy always look like he’s in desperate need of a shower?
Good question! He either looks like he needs a shower or a comb or a shave or all of the above!
I suppose I should be thankful that my 15-year-old moons over the fellow that plays Jacob. At least he doesn’t look or act like said pansy!
which one is jacob? the wolf guy with the long hair? yeah he s cute.
Yup, that was my question as well. Except, I thought simply …
WHAT the F*cK is up with that hair??!!
isn’t it obvious?
it’s because he’s paranoid that a preist has blessed the water so he would burn up from taking a shower
Because he is alwasy in desperate need of a shower.
don’t get me wrong, I never said the books were good!! Stephanie Meyer writes at 2nd grade level and the only thing on this planet worse than the twilight movie was rhianna’s umbrella!!! The thing is, i have read A LOT of vampire books and seen a lot of vampire movies and the twilight vampires(book, not movie!) would kick any other vamire’s ass, and there’s no argueing about that! Nosferatu is a bloody brilliant movie but Edward Cullen, who is by far the worst of the whole bunch, would win in a hand to hand combat with Count Orlok!
I am not deffending twilight, I’m just saying the Twilight vamps have awesome powers!
And FYI Nota, i have read the Southern vampire mysteries(they’re not called the sookie stackhouse mysteries) and I thought they were crappier and cheaper, due to the cheesy sex scenes, than a Sandra Brown book!
what about blade, he has none of their weaknesses but all of their strengths
weellll…. edward would deffinitly get kick his ass kicked ^^
Very objectif isn’it ?
Hey, tell me about Twilight Super Vampire being a cheesy virgin and raping his beloved Girlfriend who ends up addicted to sex!? Think about the image, for nowaday teenagers. Meyers writes crap. It’s a good summer book to read at the beach. Period.
There’s no winning against you since it’s all about taste and “point of view” anyway
i think lestat would win the world cup tho.
Popularity contest? Deffinitly!
Strenght? No
na, really? lestat can fly over continents and stuff. burn other vampires by just thinking it.
i guess that kinda tops everything else.
Heh… yeah you never read any Anne Rice. This comment proves it right there. You don’t need to lie about “all” the vampire novels you have read. Because if you have (vamp novels are pretty much the only genre I read.. and no I’m not some silly gothy tween, I just really like vampires and reading about them.) your comments would be completely different.
Forever Knight.
Barnabas Collins from “Dark Shadows.”
oooh, now you made me want to go dig out my Forever Knight DVD’s, there goes my week, lol
The vampires have no weaknesses whatsoever. That’s not “bad-ass”, it’s bad writing.
no, that’ an opinion! people are entitled to one. she’s a writer, it’s her book, she can make her characters however she likes. and mostly, beeing indistructible, kinda makes you bad-ass, yeah
Good characters have flaws. Good vampires have weaknesses. Deal with it. Having not read the books, I ask you honestly: what character flaws do Edward and Bella have? What are their respective strengths and weaknesses?
Characters without flaws and weaknesses are called Mary Sues.
Mary-Sue = terrible character.
Okay, lets see. the vampire powers in Twilight that I even bother to remember: Telekinesis, Fortune telling, emotion controlling, etc…
The first two sound like powers a oracle/heirophant/psychic would have, and the third power is just kind of out there, and sounds like it would belong to a demigod at the least. And normally, the only special powers a vampire would even need are the ability to turn into a bat/wolf (Depending on who’s writing the story) and the ability to summon familiars.(Again, depending on who wrote the book). When SMeyer gave the vampires extra powers like this, it made me sigh and shake my head.
And yes, I did try to read all four books. Sadly, I didn’t get completely through any of them due to my brain attempting to gnaw a hole through my skull to escape the purple prose. But then again, I am not exactly the most romantic seventeen-year-old girl out there. For someone who enjoys writing blunt descriptions of psychological torture and bloody action scenes, the Twilight quartet was just a major letdown.
And please, don’t even get me started on the plotholes … there were so many of them, and most of them were so large you could drive semis through them. I have read plotless pornos on fanfiction.net that make more sense then the Twilight quartet.
While I am willing to admit that Edward’s strength, speed and endurance are above what is normal, he is not invincible. All one would have to do to get him to do something stupid in a blind rage is to endanger Bella, his “true love”.
But on the other hand, in order to get him to stop, all you have to do is threaten his “true love” Bella with death if he tries to move. And Edward, being the “noble, heroic vegetarian vampire” that he is, would stop for fear of Bella’s death. And for someone who is utterly ruthless, this would be a prime weakness that would be subsequently exploited.
Having read “Hellsing”, I can tell you that if Edward were to fight Alucard, the latter would not hesitate to hold Bella at gunpoint until Edward surrendered. He is THAT ruthless, and I am certain that Count Orlok, from what I have heard of him, would be the same way.
And I’ve heard the Southern Vampire Mysteries called both that and the “Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries”; it all depends on who you talk to about them. But no offense, SMeyer’s sex scene was probably just as cheezy as any sex scene in the aforementioned series, if only because she had this big lead-up to it in the first three books only to cop out and just imply it when she actually had to WRITE the scene.
Stephenie Meyer writes at a second grade level? Now, I know I could read that sort of stuff in first grade, but that’s just me. The point that it is published as Young Adult literature is what makes me shake my head at it.
But I do have to agree with you, Rihanna’s song “Umbrella” was quite lame, even without radio overkill, and the Twilight series will quickly go the same way, but from “Fangirl overkill”, because fangirls are what made it so horrible, like with the song. I was neutral on the topic until the rabid fangirls rolled out of the woodwork on their “sparkly vampire” bandwagon and all but ran the sensible fangirls over.
And while I will admit that I have not read any of the other vampire books listed save for part of “Interview with a Vampire”, I will have to lean in favor of the other vampires.
Unless, of course, Edward challenges them to a duel in the sunlight; then I think the only one who would be able to even come to the duel would be Alucard, but I’ve already touched on him.
And removing the fangs from a vampire? I’m sorry, but the only worse things I can think of is taking away a European dragon’s ability to breathe fire, or by making Fenrir from Norse mythology the friendly neighborhood mutt instead of the bringer of the end of the world.
Long story short: I was not impressed with the Twilight vampires’ special powers, and found that it was written worse then some of the crappiest fanfiction you could possibly dig up on fanfiction.net.
And please, if you do respond Ms. Mary Jane, please try to use better grammar.
Twilight is a love story, not a vampire story. You young punk asses could learn a thing or two from Edward Cullen about how to treat a girl and make sacrifices for the one you love. You’re just jealous because your girlfriends are hot for someone you’ll never be.
I… I really hope you’re being ironic, but there are enough people in the world who actually think that the behavior in that book is romantic that I’m not sure you are.
Just to bring you up to speed: Edward Cullen’s behavior is not loving, caring, or sane. It is, in fact, STALKING, and no woman without serious issues or the emotional maturity of a fifteen year old would find his obsessive, controlling behavior anything but deeply scary.
No one else will be either, that includes you. Because lest we forget, these are made-believe people/characters. Only those girls with a teenaged mentality are actually hot for fake men. Real grown up women are hot for real grown up men, apparently someone you’ll never be.
You fail to realize Edward Cullen was a complete, creepy, disgusting a-hole to Bella.
Stalking a girl and trying to brainwash her into believing she’s pathetic and needs him should land a guy in PRISON, not a relationship.
Hmm. Yeah. First off, I’m a girl. I’m not jealous of Twilight. It sucks and I know it. Secondly, I would never ever ever want a boyfriend like Edward Cullen who stalks me, breaks into my house, emotionally abuses me, and batters me during sex. I hope you’re not a girl. If you are, not only are you bringing utter shame to my gender, you’re also a perfect target for rapists. Good luck with that.
Also, it’s not a love story. It was supposed to be, but it failed at that. There is no love in Twilight. What Edward and Bella have is lust.
i don t get it.
ummmm thats not how to kill a twilight vampire. u have to burn them.
Rape statistics are down? And you think that is a bad thing?
WTF? “The rape statistics are way down all across Europe compared to what’s natural.” What is natural or right about rape? I’ve not read Twilight and I only watched the first movie til the first time Cullen’s character sparkled… but what does rape have to do with a teenage romance vamp book? I prefer emo anything to a misogynist rapist pig – you deserve a can of mace in the face and another one for your crotch if you think high rape statistics are natural.
I guess it was someone who doesn’t realize rape has nothing to do with sex or sexuality.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Hey girly, Cullen actually rapes Bella in the last book. Ending in her beeing pregnant (logical isn it when all his fluids are suposed to be poison? And 80 y-o sperm anyway should be momified… but even so). So cheer up!
???
Edward does not rape Bella.
Haha!
OK : So when you wake up, and find yourself covered from top to toes with bruises, and you don’t have a single clear memory of your night of sex, you call this making love? Sorry, I call this rape. Because even if I like some playfulness in my bedroom sport, I never end up with bruises. And foggy memories.
Some people like rough sex that ends with bruises.
Some people have sex when drunk that cause foggy memories.
Rape is sexual activity that occurs without consent.
Bella consented and was not disturbed by the bruises
Okay even if you just assume your point is valid (and it could EASILY) be argued) then we still have to ask ourselves if as a society we’re okay with waking up with bruises and no memory and thinking “wow that must have been great.”
Uh, no we as a society do not need to ask ourselves that…how you like your sex is between you & your partner-NOT between your & society’s approval
/facepalm
If you like being tied up and slapped around a little that’s your business.
If you like sweet, slow, innocent love making, that’s your business.
If you like something in between that’s your business.
Even people who enjoy choking don’t actually knock each other out.
If you honestly believe that waking up beaten up with no memory is okay within a loving relationship then I suggest (honestly with no hate intended) you need to seek professional help.
He didn’t BEAT her, she woke up with bruises.
And she didn’t wake up with NO memory
dude, you’re trying to reason with a fangirl. give up. they cannot be reasoned with.
If I have bruises, I want to remember EXACTLY how they got there. I don’t mind having them, but anything that ends in bruising should really be done sober.
You do realize that she doesn’t “remember”, because the author is Mormon, and they aren’t allowed to have pre-marital ANYTHING.
This entire series is really just one long sexual fantasy of someone who’s been frustrated far longer than any mortal girl of the modern era.
Whatever your opinions are on premarital sex, that’s not what I’m assaulting here. What I am commenting on, is why she chooses to let such material flow into her writing. It shows a weak idea for plot. Furthermore, it’s insulting to think that someone who hasn’t had sex themselves would write about it. Hell, the marriage at age barely-20-something and lack of a will to go to college (which stupidly make this sex scene ‘moral’ to the author) are great messages to give to young tweens.
Get over it, Bella is a shallow girl who thinks with her libido and is caught in an abusive relationship. But every girl wants a guy just like Edward. I stand beside any true feminist (I’m male by the way) and say that this book flies in the face of every step of progress we’ve made towards a fair treatment of women. But then again, look at the author’s social background and you may understand why.
I’ll end this by saying that I don’t even particularly approve of Anne Rice’s novels. She is our generation’s “Bram Stoker”, but even she takes a heavy handed approach to the strong sexual undercurrent of vampirism. Indeed, in Stoker’s ‘Dracula’, the mortal men share several traits of homosexuality. In the period in which the original novels were written, homosexuality was considered taboo. As was felatio, which is also alluded to in Dracula. If you want lesbianism in your vampire novels, and still want a great classic read, find the poem Christabel, or the novel Carmilla. Here is some basic, classic vampire literature (in order of publication):
Treatise on Vampires and Revenants- Augustine Calmet
Christobel- Coleridge
Carmilla- Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Dracula- Bram Stoker
The Vampyre- John William Polidori
[all of this is less for the fangirl, and more for the actual vampire fans who might stumble across this thread]
You do realize that she doesn’t “remember”, because the author is Mormon, and they aren’t allowed to have pre-marital ANYTHING.
What?
Ok. Look. I actually READ the books. I remember what actually happened and that’s all I’m really talking about. People don’t like the books & hate the books & think they’re worst thing that’s ever happened to the written word. That’s all fine by me. My whole point really has been about what was written in the books and what isn’t.
Edward doesn’t rape her. They only had sex after they were married. She *does* wake up with bruises, but he did -not- beat her.
It really doesn’t have to do with my opinion as much as what was actually written inside the books. THAT is what bugs me. When people come up with such glaring errors.
Marital sex does not necessarily translate to consensual sex. If one partner just isn’t in the mood and the other one is and forces the issue, that can easily turn into a rape situation. Given that Bella doesn’t remember what happened AND that Edward clearly used some amount of force, giving her bruises, it’s only natural for some eyebrows to rise.
SM could have just as easily allowed Bella to remember what happened without telling her readers explicitly. Why would she choose to erase it from her character’s memory? Either something very suspicious happened, or she’s just a bad writer. Or both.
so a sexual undercurrent in vampire books is okay as long as it s girl-on-girl action?
why cant it just be good old girl-and-guy?
first of all, it’s not that she doesn’t remember, it’s SM fading away because she didn’t want to do a sex scene. doing a sex scene without turning your book into cheap porn is really hard to do(see my reference to the southern vampire mysteries). it was actualy a pretty smart thing to do in my opinion.
and if you do what sex scenes, i assume you have enough imagination(esspecially if you’re a guy :p), you don’t need some writer to spell it out for you…
Right. She skips over the sex scene, yet we get a graphic play-by-play of Edward munching away at her uterus. Something seems off, there…
Because killing people is much more socially acceptable than having sex with them.
In the States it sure is!
have to agree with mPOD on this on! Twilight is seen as a book fr teenagers. any parent would take killing over sex! it’s a twiwsed world out there, that’s the way it is!(it doesn’t mean it’s right tho) killing is not “socially acceptable” but tv made it ok in fictional life. sex however, in a teen book, is not
Erm, actually, Stephenie Meyer is married and has three kids. So I would say she has had sex, she’s just too conservative about it (Which is weird because she seems to like gore as well.).
However, I’m also an Anti, and would not like a pale hard cold sparkly boyfriend that insists he has “The skin of a killer!”.
first of all, when you are freshly in love the only desire you pretty much have is to be with the other person. and you lust over their bodies. that s natural. cant see anything screwed up with that.
secondly, if there are a million obstacles that keep you from being with the person you are madly in love with it is easy to drop all other interests because focusing on getting to spend time with your loved one already consumes all your energy. kinda normal, also.
thirdly, when you are madly in love with someone, you really do ignore all other members of the opposite gender. it would actually be screwed up if she was getting interested in others while also being madly in love with whats-his-face.
the only point that i can accept you are having is that her family probably wouldnt just “stand by” like they are. that bit is pretty unrealistic.
i am not defending twilight but you haven t really made any valid points here.
He may not have mad perfect points but he does sound like someone who knows what they are talking about.
You however sound like a 14 year old girl.
The rest of us are just trying to make you understand. I guess all we can do (and I suspect all parents learn this at some point) is let you mature on your own until you realize how silly you sound.
clearly, you have never been in love. i was a 14 year old girl a long time ago but falling head-over-feet for someone can occur in older specimen, too.
if having a crush and being in love with someone is “silly” to you, well i must say, i pity you.
I should have closed with the point that the problem with the story is that Meyer says it is romance when it is clearly not. THAT is the god damn point. It is a lie. A farce. She pulls the wool over peoples eyes.
i dont know, i still disagree with you but its a free country
Haha. Haha. Ahaha. No.
Yes. They’re freshly in love. That means they should not have commited the way they did. They (and the author) insist that they’re in love with each other and that it’s so romantic and true. It’s not.
Uh, but there weren’t. Their love wasn’t “forbidden”. There were no obstacles keeping them from each other.
This was all before she med Edward. Also, she decided she wa in love after, what, a week of knowing him? Unrealistic.
Midge has very valid points.
why is it that people have to complain about so many things. So what if you hate Twilight. Some people hate Star Wars or the 007 movies. Oh well such is life everyone has an opinion. You dont have to make fun of someone for watching and liking a certain movie. How would any of you like it if someone called you a retard for liking you favorite band or movie or sports team even. You would think they are stupid and you would defend your opinions. So why don;t all of you just keep your nasty thoughts to your self. Also, maybe people should find better things to take a stand about, like the war, health care plans, the economy, world peace, world hunger, global warming. Instead of arguing about which movie is better and how “retarded” people are for watching certain movies. Also the Speacial Olympics comment was very wrong…Obviously that person has never met someone with a disability, you probably think that they have no idea that people talk badly about them but thats not true. In my opinion I have met disabled people that have more regard, and are nicer to people and know more right from wrong than most of the people in this world today.
You should probably start getting used to hearing “retarded” used the way it is. You can’t change anything. Yeah, it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop its usage.
Sure it’s wrong. What about all the people that keep using “that’s so gay”? *I’M* gay, and it doesn’t offend me. Hell, I’ve USED IT MYSELF. You just have to have a thick skin in this world. You can’t let words rile you up. Save your emotion for stuff that actually matters.
actually i hear things like that all of the time…and i think that the “thats so gay” or “you’re gay” comments are stupid too….i do have thick skin but i dont see why people waste their time on these things every single day…like yesterday i was reading the news articles on AOL and people were debating over the Smart case…its done, its there, get over it
Whether you are aware of it or not the opinions which shape our society are fed to us by literature and the various other arts. The have an extremely huge impact on how we perceive the world and will lead us to being misguided less we are educated. Unfortunately most people are not educated enough to know the difference between fantasy, fiction, and real life. Unless it is obvious people will assume that whoever is spouting the nonsense has done their home work. This is not merely opinion. It is the entire state of knowledge. It is ‘fine’ for people to like twilight and to get something about it, even if it’s wasting a few days of your life just to get by. That is the nature of subjectivity. Everything is likable by everybody but attached to that are ideas of delusion. The one thing I have learned in my studies of the arts and indeed of history is that ‘most’ if not all human beings expect a certain level of character complexity, plot driven story, and some kind of morality therein. How do I know this? Take a look some time. It has persisted in story telling for THOUSANDS of years. Sure you can like twilight, but the best story ever? No only a simpleton with absolutely no other interests could possible say that this book is in any way shape or form great.
The constitution. Amendment one. Read it, please.
Negative emotions are part of the human spectrum as well as positive ones. Denying either side of the spectrum is mentally unhealthy.
oh, so in your opinion calling someone retarded is alright?
Pundit Kitchen’s that a-way, bud.
I thought this was the room for an argument
“oh, no, I’m sorry, this is Abuse.”
All the twilight hate really makes me laugh.
Cause as much as you hate it, you’re still talking about it.
well yeah. i never knew about twilight before i saw the negative propaganda against it on this site.
it actually prompted me to watch the movie. it was a waste of time but whatever. now at least i can relate to the comments
Lalala. Copy/paste is so much fun.
Negative emotions are part of the human spectrum as well as positive ones. Denying either side of the spectrum is mentally unhealthy.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! So fricken true.
Lisa Frank Vampires are lame…
I’m going to write a vampire book… I’m gonna hop right on that bandwagon and make millions off these girls…
I’ll admit this much:
I’d definitely stick it to that Jackson Rathbone kid… (or, I’d let him stick it to me?)
mmmmmmmmmm…..
wait, he’s 18 right?
He’s one ugly fairy.
hmmmm…. i am not a huge fan of twilight, and a lot of my friends didn’t like me for a while. i guess i just don’t like this kind of story but it was pretty good im just not obsessed like some people in my school STILL are
pretty sad that they stopped liking you because you didnt join the craze. as if your likes and dislikes would actually be a factor of how likable you are.
Seems like more proof that nearly all fans are entirely mindless with no depth.
Like I told my friend a few weeks ago. He’s a fairy with a blood fetish.
Look. Vampires are supposed to be scary. They’re not supposed to flit around sparkling and attending high school fifty million times just so they can meet their twoo wuv (a.k.a. the one girl in the entire school with ZERO personality).
And any Twitard that spots this loser (complete with bad hair and hygiene–ugh) and purrs “My prrrreciousssss” in a Gollum-voice will be accused of insulting Gollum, and then will be fed to a real vampire. (I’m thinkin’ The Count from Sesame Street. Compared to Sparklebutt, he’s as vampire-y as you can get!)
Don’t mind me. I just lost four friends, all at once, to this travesty of literature. And I’ll never get them back because their brains are so corrupted now. Thanks, Smeyer, for destroying a perfectly decent friendship. NOT.
Haha! Just feeling like we share a gollum thing! ^^
You got about everything right.
But lets hope all the corrupted girls will do like Bella and jump from cliffs when their “first and last” twu wuv will leave them for some other girls with working brains.
Natural selection on the move.
TWILIGHT IS TOTALLY COOL AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. HE IS REALLY UGLY THOUGH, I HAVE TO ADMIT.
I TOO CAN WRITE IN BIG LETTERS POWOWW!
WHAT IF I SAY TWILIGHT SUCKS IN EVEN BIGGER LETTERS THAN YOU, DOES IT MEAN I’M THE ONE SAYING THE TRUTH?
Moonfrost, take some time to read midgnight sun’s partial draft at the same time as you read twilight. You’ll be shocked to see how lame it is.
So f*****g lame I can’t help but giggle. But yes! You can find this is an awesome book! We just won’t speek literature together, and thats really no big deal.
YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD. MY BOLD FONT IS EVEN LOUDER. THEREFORE, MY OPINION IS SUPERIOR.
IT SUCKS. LOL.
No Edwards not Uglee
He’s Cuteee!!!!
Face it, he’s not a fairy, he’s gay.
Fairies are gay, but gays are not necessarily fairies.
I remember a convo between two of my gay colleagues where one rummaged around in a cupboard and finally found what he was looking for right under his nose. His colleague laughed very hard at him and the retort was “HAH, at least I’M not a fairy!”
That’ll learn him …
HA!
That’s awesome.
Faeries have wings…
Fairys are homosexuals.
It’s all in the spelling.
I’m not bothered about sparkly vampires, but I wish the guy would realise that his “hair-dos” are teh stoopy.
This is really insulting to fairies everywhere.
So what? Do we give a crap about Tinkerbell? I don’t think so…
It takes a certain level of intelligence to grasp my jokes. Good try, though.
Olivia ftw!
Fairy power!
whenever i see fireworks, i think of exploding fairies.
Oh…
you know theres all the colorfulness in fireworks. thats the fairie dust.
He’s not a fairy. Fairies have some concept of hygiene, unlike this douche who looks like he hasn’t seen the inside of a shower in years!
Hey now, don’t dis fairies. Nobody messes with the Nac Mac Feegle!
am I the only one here to get that reference?
Sorry; I was just watching a cow moving backwards across a field at running speed.
At least it’s more interesting than anything concocted by SMeyers. Can I have the link?
WIN!
afk fighting the Wintersmith, brb
that guy is ugly looking. ugliest looking vampire ever.
You just got that, huh?
o man is he ugly. they described him in the books as gorgeously handsome, so they should have at least tried to fill that requirement in the movie.
He has that gay glare, can’t really describe it, you just sort of feel it.
If you stop talking about it, it will go away a lot faster.
Ah but we love to speak about it see? :¬P
PURE WIN!!!
Im totally going to remember this XD
how twilight should have ended: alucard and blade team up to kick some sense into edward and share some glasses of bella. the end
agreed!
They burn in sunlight?! God! Read Dracula or something!
why what s wrong with that. anne rice’s vamps burn in direct sunlight, too
WIN!!!!
If you can’t stand Twilight so much, why did you read them? Why did certain people go searching for the 5th book excerpt to read online?? Now THAT’S retarded.
I LOVE the Twilight series. I think SM’s writing is amazing and fun to read, she keeps your attention and makes it hard to put down…at least for me. Either you love it or you don’t. I won’t stop recommending them to people, because I think for the most part, people will enjoy them for what they are. Not comparing them to other vamp stories, or other romance novels, just to enjoy them for what they are! Now the movie sucked. It was fun to see the characters come to life, even though it wasn’t how I pictured them to be, but yeah, the movie was a disappointment. The books are better.
You sound like someone who has never read another book. Try reading some other novels and get back to us. Some good ones with actual characters to be interested in for instance.
I’d agree. I hate the Twilight series for being 4th rate Mary Sue fan-fic, when several of my friends who can actually write struggle to get anything published.
aaah you are an unsuccessful writer! now that explains a lot!
you see the problem is that you are so damn proud of your quality writing that you forget what it takes to get published. maybe your writing is pretty decent and you are making a lot of well-educated points (which i doubt as you cant even make good points on here) but what will get you published is targeting the right market and doing it the right way.
as you can see, quality does not necessarily mean that you will be a successful writer.
maybe you could come down from your high horse and examine WHY meyer got published but you didnt. maybe she can teach you a thing or two about popular culture?
clearly you rather bury yourself in dusty classics. they are called classics because they are not modern writing anymore. modern people will want to read modern books. it may be unfair and it may be not right but it’s just the way it is.
…are…you…serious? They’re classics not because they’re old, because they’re CLASSIC. The fact that they’re classic means they’re old, but people today still read and love them.
I don’t care whether she got published or not. Her writing sucks. Publishers SHOULD look for quality writing instead of what they think people will buy. I don’t care if “that’s just the way it is”.
If I ever became a writer, I’d sooner kill myself than sink to Meyer’s level; simply getting published because young girls will fantasize about it. I couldn’t care less about pop culture.
“If you can’t stand Twilight so much, why did you read them? Why did certain people go searching for the 5th book excerpt to read online?? Now THAT’S retarded.”
God, how stupid are you? How are we supposed to know if we like them or not UNTIL we read them?!
“See them for what they are”? What they are are crappy books with very bad writing and shallow concepts that read like Cosmo-Girl articles on shoes.
CONCLUSION :
THE FILMS AND THE BOOKS ARE SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!
I get it now – my lame-assed lols haven’t made the front page because I haven’t managed to work in any homophobia!
Nah, you just haven’t been bashing enough fads.
BAHA! Awesome.
I’ll just leave this http://twilightsucks.com/
Have fun ^^
because I do and I can, I expand my horizons and am not a mindless sheep that follows the trend. If you think that “SM” is the most expertise writer in the world then I am sorry to say that you are about as interesting as her books which are about as interesting as a pile of wood shavings. The baby sitters club had a better story line and held more readers longer than twilight. It doesn’t take much these days for an author to get published, take Eragon for instance, a glorified book report. That was written by a 15 yr old kid and still had more talent in the table of contents than the entire 4 twilight books or this 5th one everyone keeps banging on about. FYI I am sorry to say that I read twilight BEFORE Anne Rice who is a truly noteworthy author and was only truly disappointed when I realized that your precious author is a mindless talentless hack with nothing better to do than copy someone elses ideas and put in a teeny bopper love story. Personally? As a teenager I was never so dull and mudane. And if I were Edward I would have killed that whiney bitch sooner. Now please, before you cry crocodile tears over a merely honest opinion, for we are all entitled to those, I may advise you to go and read other books, for in reality there is no sparkling creepy stalker vampire boy that will crawl in your bed and sing you lullabies.
^ This is Win.
That was EPIC!
THANK YOU FOR THE ANNE RICE REFERENCE.
Finally, someone with good book taste.
even if jacob jizzed on tinkerbell this would not be a suitable result for a fairy, calling that a fairy would be insulting fairies and gay men everywhere.
right… because all vampires are the same, all just like dracula, and if they are not villians or ugly they can´t be vampires… btw, if he can´t be a vampire because of all that, why would he be a fairy if he doesn´t have wings?
no, no, no, you don’t get it, this is the hate-things-just-because-they’re-popular-page
No, no no, you don’t get it. The “I can’t understand the difference between jealousy and intelligence” page is that way.
so you’re in the jealous category, right?
Why would anyone be jealous of the fact that Meyer was stupid enough to publish her wet dream? And that there are now thousands of idiots fapping to the same wet dream?
ok, i may love twilight and everything, but this is fricken hilarious. A+
a STALKER fairy. XD
wtf is the big deal!? IT’S JUST A PICTURE. and edward may be a fairy, but the real problem here is jacob
what do you mean? lol
It’s painful to see your Robert Pattinson-obsessed friend look at you with disgust as they find out you love Peter Tork from the Monkees. Why? Because they are oblivious to the fact that a certain Mr. Pattinson looks like he has not washed for centuries. Entering her room is scary enough; sleazy smiles, greasy hair, open shirts, all around me.
I wonder what Robert Pattinson looks like in a fan’s eyes.
(This is more about the actor than the books, sorry for the slight irrelevance)
don’t worry, most of the people on this page can’t/won’t make a difference between the actor and the character
if you read most of the posts, you realise that the anti-twilight group hasn’t really got much to say except you suck or you’re gay/stupid/retarded etc etc. Try making some valid points
yeah seriously
YES! Finally. Someone get’s it.
You must not get out much. Or read much. Because, really, what reflects a certain group of people who share the same opinion better than a select few individuals on RoflRazzi.com?!
Look! Valid points!
Twilight is badly written. Its characters are flat and void of personality, its plot is nearly nonexistent. Its (nearly nonexistent) plot is full of holes. Its got a mindless fanbase, a bunch of failed attempts at symbolism, a bunch of failed attempts at logic, and, last but not least, a ton of bad messages.
But I can trust you to ignore this post because it’s more intelligent than anything youv’e posted.
yep, i was right, no valid points! just insults!
you’re not one of those “select few” i’m affraid…
Actually, they have a really good point.
It goes against ALL good vampire stories.
I bet Dracula is spazming in his grave.
I dont think HE sparkled.
Actually, Dracula was a real person, bet none of you even looked it up.
She just took some ideas out of thin air and applied it to a story.
It has the EXACT SAME plot (although worse) as most vampire stories: A vampire falls in love with a human.
As simple as that.
As mentioned above, the story really is sending out bad messages.
She basically says that a woman cannot last without a man.
I will give her one prop though: She does not visually detail the sex involved.
Anyhow, people need to just keep their opions to themselves, haters: Twilight Fans arent going to give up
Twilight Fans: haters arent going to give up either
SO GET OVER IT
haha-hey thats an insult to faeries!!! Im sorry edward fans but he’s freakin ugly. Funny though. I LOVE TWILIGHT and ♥Jasper Whitlock♥
Jasper rules! Too bad he didn’ kill bella tho
You are so right. Edward is quite ugly. And Jasper is quite not. Seriously, I think Jasper and Alice need their own book/movie. They’re way more interesting.
Oh yeah. If they were like REAL vampires, they would so sell better as a story than Edward and Bella.
Reality Check: Edward is ugly, Bella is a bad actress, and they both look like they are smoking something.
If you read all of those posts-well, a few of them-it’s quite funny. There were loads of anti-twilight posts and then in the middle there was this American guy accusing everyone in England of being homosexual and implying rape was natural and then it got all the way back to anti-twilight.
Whoa, I am never going to America.
You have serious problems. That is all I will say.
I would see a doctor if I were you.
Stephanie Meyer is writing from a conservative Mormon viewpoint, and her writing is selling well among teens who have been raised with abstinence-only sex ed. That’s why there’s no actual sex until the fourth book, AFTER they get married. There’s lots of sexual tension, which is entirely permissible, but no actual bumping of uglies. (BTW: her vampires have more to do with Mormon theology than actual vampire lore. Check out the Mormon doctrine of Exaltation sometime. Bella’s eventual conversion to a vampire is also rooted in Mormon theology: a woman cannot enter Paradise without a man’s intercession.)
Hell, some people have too much time… this thread alone could be a vampire story considered the frequency of the word “vampire” showing up.
First, i have to admit that i only saw the movie (my gf made me watch it :/) and although i didn’t expect much, it still managed to score high amongst the most boring movies i’ve ever seen. I’m not even talkign about how realistiv the vampires ore other characters are, there’s just nothing really happening. And why seems this film to consist only of blueish colors, spiced up with some red “points-of-interests” like lips and stuff? Its a pity that the only things i really remember is her red truck (maybe because it stood out so well from the all-blue background) and the baseball match: the music in the background ist from Muse, a band that i like very much, so thats probably the cause.
Now that i have made the expected rant about Twilight i guess i can troll around and heat up that “who’s the best vampire”-discussion again!
So i’m going to pit Alucard against your (ill-)chosen vampires
yes! XD he is tinkerbell!!! he sparkles, and even makes a chiming noise when he sparkles. just ruffle his hair and you can fly fly fly away.
my advice for people:
Twilight fans: GET AN ACTUAL BOOK AND READ IT!!! maybe then you’ll stop saying stuff like “OMG TWILIGHT IS THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN!!
Twilight haters: Start dissing twilight on a complete anti-twilight site, that way fangirls/boys won’t argue with you
Come on. Get a life and get over Twilight. Real vampires drink HUMAN blood and dont sparkle. Blade and Underworld are perfect examples. All these little pansy twilight fans are all teenage girls who are too dumb to realize how gay this stuff is and cant get a date in the first place.
Thank you. I dont know what she was on when she wrote Twilight. Sparkling Vamps? I dont think so. I can understand the drinking animal blood, but it never lasts. Has anyone seen Interview With A Vampire? Apperently not. Twilight fans, especially adults, need to pick up a Anne Rice or Bram Stoker vampire book.
Never, until she wrote the book, had vampires ever sparkled.
Its just another pathetic vampire story, and people only read it because its different.
Different isnt good when its GAY.
wow, mary jane got her ass kicked…and i only read the first 30 or so comments
looketh at my face! bram stocker? vampire chronicles? not bovvered! southern vamp mysteries? i aint bovvered! edward? jacob? this in not the bovvered face! sparkling vampires, werewolfs, fangs, blood, no one getting the spider man refference?!
I AINT BOVVERED!
no he is not a faery. he gives a bad name to faeries. he is a troll spent too much time smoking pot so now he thinks hes a sprite or something. thats why he sparkles.
uhm has NO ONE read ” A feast of Horrors” predating both Dracula and Carmilla which was written by Stoker’s editor and had a lesbian vampire. I digress, feast was perhaps the first Victorian vampire story, and established most of the tropes in use today and the vampire in the story is still scary today because he’s not a twinkling statue. twilight vamps are basically gay, bloodthirsty golems, which sounds really cool, but Steph meyers is not a good writer.
Come on people, get a life!!!!!!! I used to believe that Twilight fans were annoying, but Twilight haters are even worse. It’s just a book/movies franchise.
Some people can’t handle Twilight, lolz.
Wow, this is a very nice collection of some pathetic people who don’t have a life and probably feel good talking other people down who don’t have the same opinion. Come on guys, you’re as childish as “twi-tards” who actually do the same as you do. Face it.
I LOVE TWILIGHT EDWARD AND BELLA ARE THE BEST ACTERS STOP BAGGING THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edwards heaps Cuter then people think jeez!! I love twilight newmoon eclipse and breaking dawn good job stepanie meyer Plz write more Stop bagging them people u couldn’t do better xxxx
