I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

The problem is not with how Twilight should have ended. The problem is that Twilight began in the first place.

Consider yourself lucky man,that movie is gak... I ended up watching it after a guy I work with ( who knows I love horror films) told me it was a " great vampire movie"... took everything in me not to knock his teeth out the next time I saw him.

Burger King has Twilight cups for sale now... That says it all.

Automatically Appended Next Post: Every vAmpire deserves a stake in the heart. All hail Blade, Vampire Hunter D and Van Helsing. They don't waste time trukking about with the undead. The Main problem with vampires these days is that they have gone soft. Alucard would snuff them all.

I actually prefer books by David Gemmel and Raymond E. Feist. I do love LoTR, but these two are better IMHO.

For a movie aimed at angst ridden 13 year old girls and single 35-40 year old women it generates a hell of alot of press.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard to it referred to it as 'horror' outside someone walking out of a theatre mumbling "the horror...the horror" to themselves after watching it.
As to you never having seen it Albatross: Imagine you wrote a book in which you were the center of attention and everyone wanted to be near you i.e. any fanfic ever written. That is Twilight. The main character is a teenage girl that is not that great looking nor has that interesting a personality or intellect. Yet everyone is inexplicably drawn to her, even super beautiful pervert vampire. He's an fully grown adult male (100+ years old) going after High School tail. If you ever saw Dazed and Confused, imagine Matthew McCounaughey's character is a vampire and you are pretty much there. Oh, and they aren't really vampires for several reasons. They can go out during the day and they each have a mutant power for starters. Basically blood powered X-Men and the main vampire is Jubilee. His power is he sparkles in sunlight. That isn't even touching on the Mormonism, misogyny, abstinent vampires (as AVclub said, Vampires = Sex, always, no exceptions) and other offenses that crop up.
For good vampire movie that uses the creepy age thing to proper effect see Let the Right One In.
Spoiler:
For more examples of how awesome the series is in the fourth book, after getting married I believe, the chick gets pregnant with a half vampire baby. Sadly it will not grow up to be Blade. Baby starts to kill her so they make her a vampire. But oh no Vampire skin is like Submarine hull tough so they can't cut the baby out. Of course the only thing stronger than vampire skin is vampire teeth so they perform a cesarean using their mouths. Immediately upon seeing the baby the Werewolf dude falls deeply, madly, hopelessly, passionately, in love with her (the baby). The birth of NAWBLA: the North American Werewolf Baby Love Association.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
-to many points to bother to count.
