I was at Supernova last week (pop culture festival)

and one of the stalls was selling tshirts.
one of the shirts said

"And Buffy staked Edward. The End"
and there was a picture of a wooden stake on it.

i should have bought one.

You have my sympathies. I don't really care for much things I don't like, though it is fun to criticise them and such. Twilight, however, is kind of like that glitter the teacher gave my class for their craft project. It gets absolutely everywhere and it's really hard to get rid of.

I watched this Twilight movie. It seemed to me to be emotional porno for girl teens. I prefer traditional vampire films with actual blood. Some of my favorites include Underworld 1, Underworld 2, Interview with the Vampire, and Queen of the Damned.

What's it have to do with porn, may I ask?

Quote:

My sisters, like so many teenage girls, went gaga whenever the hunky, pasty Edward and his male-model coif appeared on-screen. Edward is inhumanly gorgeous, inhumanly strong, holds several medical degrees, plays concert piano, drives a shiny car, is filthy rich and, most importantly, is instantly and uncontrollably attracted to Bella.

It’s not hard to see why Twilight has become so popular. The story probably resonates with young women who feel they aren’t particularly pretty, smart, talented or loveable. Twilight is the movie version of a common teenage fantasy: The hot, rich guy falls madly in love with the unpopular klutz.

I guess that means Twilight is pornography for young women. While porn for men takes normal, everyday guys and pairs them with idealized women, Twilight flips the formula around: Bella is the everyday teenage girl who ends up with the idealized man.

Oh right, I get it...

Not just girls like the movie, though, my friend liked it and he's a boy (and he's straight, before anyone starts, LOL).

I went and saw the movie with my wife and although I enjoyed it, I don't quite see why it was the blockbuster it was. She begged me to read the book before the movie came out and I did, and I could tell it was obviously targeted at a female audience. I agree with the discription of a teen fantasy, except the dream guy happens to be a vampire.

My wife says I'm alot like Edward, but I'm not sure how I should take that.
