WTF is Twilight? And WTF is up with the Hype?
I'm seriously missing out on some cultural phenomenon.

I've seen shit about it, but intentionally ignored it. Now, it's going crazy.

WTF is the appeal?

I think it's a combination of Harry Potter and Gossip Girl with vampires.

Yeah, it is a teen romance book that involves vampires. Unlike every good piece of vampire fiction, there isn't that element of eroticism. It is very much an "Abstinance Rules!" piece of teen romance drivel.

It's written by a Mormon.

Who is a terrible writer.

My favorite part about the movie is that it's painfully obvious that both of the leads absolutely hate it and feel embarrassed to be associated with it.

Pat, the first book isn't the entire story. It progressively moves from banal to flippin' crazy.

"It's okay to treat someone who would do anything for you like shit because he's not as hot as Edward!"

Also, about that vampire dick?

Edward is seen as the perfect guy, even though he's got so many warning signs he should glow in the dark instead of sparkle in the sun. Everything about the books is dangerous.

So, they're constantly dancing this very dangerous dance where she could die at any moment, but she just can't stay away from him because he's oh so dreamy.

On top of that, Edward is constantly in control of the relationship. He can kiss her. She, though, can't kiss him. I've read the first book (it's part of my job to read this crap, sorry), and I didn't really get much of an abstinence message from it. I did, however, get very disturbing notions about gender roles and sexual power relationships from it.

I realize that there are 4 books. I also realize that they probably won't be taught in American Literature classes anytime soon. But what I don't see is the supposed abstinence message or rightwing/mormon morality message that was attributed to it. If you think the story is banal or in some other way less impressive than, for example, Interview with the Vampire, I don't have a problem with that critique. I thought the movie was OK for what it was, a teenage version of a vampire story, but it's not great and afaic it shouldn't be mistaken for a wholesome example of conservative family values.

ITs a fad. And it is basically just emo teenage girls that are into it (the Hot Topic crowd).

THe film will definitley make a lot of money but its nothing but a fad.

Vampires are inherently erotic. Penetration, fluid exchange, sulking...

I like how the superhuman running scenes look like a corny 80s cartoon with the feet being a blur and no movement in the upper body....

That looks reeruned enough to make me never ever watch this movie....
