is it even worth mentioning?
I haven’t been watching Twilight, or the second movie, as I’ve learned that nothing but pretty images could be seen in those Saga-called crap, but I received a very interesting video on youtube, of a guy reviewing the first movie and it made me laugh, and pretty much agree with what he was saying.
Then, I watched a video of a young girl, who was also ranting about the books Mayer wrote, wondering why some people liked the books, and even thought of the them as good writing, which I have been wondering myself, because nor the writing or the story are good, and logic in those books does not exist even in the slightest. And then I remembered myself as a child [in-between seven and fourteen years old] and how I adored impossible love stories in shows and movies [for example: Xena and Ares (Xena: the Warrior Princess), Buffy and Spike (Buffy: the Vampire Slayer), et cetera], and even though, we know that they love each other, getting further into their relationship and putting them in an official couple would have ruined all the interest in the show – it would have become winy and shallow, but when I was watching those shows, I really wanted them to be together, and I suppose that I would have watched a show only based on their love, because I loved them myself and I believed they belonged to each other. Now, what Mayer did was exactly like it: she took two characters, who normally shouldn’t be in love, and put them together; they are bound to one another, for some reason, and that idea, of an impossible love story being held by all the means is what the girls like in those books. At that point, they don’t even care if Bella is a Mary Sue or not, or if Edward if weird and freaky; they see a love story and that makes their heart melt, because in the books, Mayer described, with all the words from the dictionary possible, that those two are meant to be together.
Problem is: WE. DON’T. KNOW. WHY.[!]
She doesn’t say it, she doesn’t explain…and frankly – I think she doesn’t know herself. All she wanted was two characters who love each other; how they got there – it isn’t her problem.
The biggest mistake she made in her books, except making her Vampires sparkle, was that she didn’t explain the characters and she didn’t write at all how Bella got to love Edward, and vice versa.
[ BELLA’s VIEW ] He is hot, we got it. Apollo like, as she wrote soooooooo [x 12] many times: hard chest, beautiful face, soft skin, amazing breathe [which is completely unnecessary for the description], let’s add in: expensive car and all the girls from the school want him badly. Overall: Nothing. Notice also that the author did not write anything of precise about how his face looks like, and I exactly know why, as it was not a simple mistake; it was planned on purpose. She wrote that he was hot, and so, as no further description was seen in the book, all the girls who read it imagine their perfect boy next door as the Edward in question. He has millions of faces, but I wouldn’t have known how to imagine him if I haven’t seen the movie first. For me: Robert was always popping in my head, how everyone read the books and imagined him without seeing the movie that is a big fat question.
[ EDWARD’s VIEW ]This is more simple, truth to be told: he is 100-and something years old, he never dated and he needed love and attention. Suddenly, he notices a human, who smells like puddin’ and the cherry on the top of the cake is: he cannot say what she is thinking. For someone who can read minds all the time – it’s a big turn on. He watches over her, saves her life and feels her heart beat; she is more like a puppy to him than a girlfriend. In his case, the normal thing to do would be to let her stay human and have his fun with her, because, once she turns a vampire – he wouldn’t be able to play with her as he used to. But then, I guess, he really wanted to get laid. Then comes the second book, and I’m confused.
[ BIGGEST MISTAKES OF THE BOOKS ]
I. Edward enters Bella’s room without her knowing it and watches her sleep. Freaking – yes, but that is not the problem: those Cullens are rare specimens: they feed on bears, but what of the other Vampires who drink human blood? Are you telling me that they can enter a human’s house without an invitation? Humans would have been all dead by the beginning of the first book, then, because I don’t think that there are no Vampires who like a little fun play with some humans in their own house. That also makes mo wonder why Victoria, the woman who hates Bella’s guts, did not avenge her mate by killing everyone Bella knew [her friends mostly, and dear daddy]. She can enter houses without an invitation after all.
II. Mythology died. They sparkle in the sun. I believe that if they didn’t sparkle, this book would have much more fans [or at least, less haters], because this little fact made all the real fans of vampires to dislike the books and the author. And that also makes me wonder about religious matters: vampires are creatures of the night for a reason; they are demons, in some point, toothy bastards. Sun is their enemy – they fear it; if it wasn’t for the sun – humanity would have been killed by those monsters. What happens with that? I’ve read many times of this version: the sun burns them, because the sun is the weapon of the God. [Not Apollo, in this case].
Another question about the sun: the rays of this big firing ball touch the earth every day, and yet, they do not sparkle every day. They walk normally, and not even the top of their heads has any glittering on it. What’s with that? Does she think that sun affects us only when there are no clouds at all?
[ FANS OF THE BOOKS/ MOVIES ]
I have nothing against them. Hell, I know many people who love the movies or the books, and those people are not stupid at all, but when I ask them why they love it so much, they have all pretty much the same answer: 1. Robert is hot. 2. Their love is cute. 3. I’ve never read the books, but the movie was cool.
People who really understand it must fill me in, because those answers cannot make me look at the overall with an understanding face.

I have to say I have always been a fan of Vampires. My fav and forgive if i misspell but I am extremely tired. Nosferatu. I am talking about the original silent film. I cannot tell you how many people it scared when it first came out. People have read books about vampire but were not used to seeing them on the screen. There have been many movies and books about vampire and the main rules no matter what has been changed. Sunlight burns the living fuck out of them. I will always look at rule number two. What the hell was she thinking when she said love about vampire. Now I know my friends made fun of Buffy because Spike felt love. Well he sort of felt it but if you looked, he was obsessed. Look at things, she was the only slayer he could not kill and it turned into a fantasy for him to bone her. Spike even tried to rape Buffy in one episode. The only reason she did not stake him is because one, spike resembled Billy Idol, I even fooled everyone on mypsace with a pic of Billy Idol on a throne and everyone went berserk over it thinking it was Spike XD. I will tell you now. Vampires no matter how much involved they get, they cannot feel pure and true love. They can have an imitation form of love. They will have mates, those they have sex with, a form of lust and burning desire. They will have intimate feelings for those they grow fond of, thus you have familiars, humans whom work for them with the promise of being turned a vampire. They are evil beings. I can only say only Angel felt love and that is because his soul was returned. We have two things about the movie that fucked with vampire Lore majorly and the writer should be bitch slapped and bitch slapped hard. You have no burning in the sun, and you have highly emotional feelings of love. Excuse me, he was stalking. >.> Not lets get onto other things. You have entering a home without being invited. That is three. Now some movies do not put all the lore of vampires Like if you throw a lot of things infront of the vampire, like thousands of needles. He/she will have to count them all for some odd reason, i do not know why. Where is the crosses, where is having to untie knots. Where is the staking them, and how in the living hell is Edward walking in the sun without covering himself like Spike did in the series. It even showed spike smoking like a bunsen fucking burner. We have the Aurther taking hundreds of years of Vampire Lore and throwing it out the window to make her own little species of vampire. I have news honey. They ain't vampires. I don't know what the fuck they are. Sparkling fairies? I know that every female loved the movie only for one reason. The hot actor. if you stuck an average joe, like Nicholas Cage as Edward, and have jack Nicholson as jacob black or maybe a younger actor, sorry. Just picture your normal actor, maybe Adom Sandler as jacob black. this movie would have utterly failed, I mean fucking failed, no sequels, no nothing. You know why. It sucks. you have average Jo's on Blade the movie and yes women drool over the man that plays Deacon frost well that was not the case. Nobody gave a flying fuck that the man playing Deacon frost was hot, it actually had a good storyline that people till this day talk about and debate about. You have people debating about Blade 2 and 3 also Some like it, some hate it but the thing is, it got sequels and a lot of fans of every style of people and age group. twilight has no reason to exist except to get teenage females wet. I really have to say the Actors disappoint me if that does it for them. Having the majority of the fan girls being 12 to 17 years of age drooling. -_- I mean thats sort of disturbing they take pride in that. >.> I rest my case. All of this Twilight business is a peice of trash and the only way i would watch it is if my girlfriend paid for the movie, paid for popcorn, and told me I am getting laid big time with a three way afterward. -_- I would still have to think about it even then.
Oh mon dieu! Ben la, je dois être completement d'acord avec toi. At first, I loved the books, because I had it audio wise on my ipod, but in the end, when I bought them and read the first one, it was becoming quite nagging. The best one is Eclipse, mainly cause we see more of others. Breaking Dawn ruined it all for me, especially Jacob and his nagging on and on about how he loves Bella and UGH, he should jump of a cliff and die. No, but I think the fact that they sparkle, at first, the image was quite -- cute. I could actually see them sparkle from head to toe, not just say their exposed bodies really. And I think I should be the only freak around there who imagined Edward as Rpattz. Kristen was just a loser in my eyes, and she still is, no offense to all Kristen lovers, I loved her in Speak and Panic Room, but she doesn't suit as a Bella to me. Oh yes, she's mighty clumsy alright, she fucking fell during the MTVMA! How stupid is that, and who did she hide behind? Robert. Does she have any balls? And how many times did she turn her head to NOT kiss Robert. Come on woman, you kissed him in front of a gazilion of camera people but NOT in front of a gazilion of fans? STUPIDO.
Overal, I think that most people are exagerating with the movie, simply because, it's something new, and fresh. It's kind of like Harry Potter. At first it was all something new, now it's just dragging (although I'm excited for the last one now, but that's because of Draco :O). Plus, I really can't stand to see Bella and that MIRACLE child in the movie -dies; if Renesmee is going to be such a big child, I wonder where they'll get all the kids from? No, seriously, I liked the book the best, hence why I'm considering on waiting for the movie to less busy in the theaters to wait, but I fully agree on your statement, it's all based on people's own imagination and shit.
Oh and their love is not cute, THEY ARE ADDICTED TO DRUGS XD
Edward: you're like my own personal brand of heroine.
WTF EDWARD?
I agree with Ashlee: "THEY ARE ADDICTED TO DRUGS XD"
lmao.
the writer, the fans, the directors.
and agreeing with the other "Anonymous" yeah, it went into its own mythology away from the norm (which you also talked about)
