The ONLY thing I hate about Twilight.

[Mercen-X]

To-why-lie-it...

I'm not a fan of Twilight. I haven't ever read the books, but I've watched each of the movies (my gf dragged me to the first and second one). The first one wasn't very interesting and my gf excused it for being a chopped version of the book and even complained it didn't really live up to her standards. The second one introduced us to Jacob and the Werewolves. The werewolves are epically more appealing that the vampires. They're simply blessed with more positive attributes: well-built, they don't sparkle, they're not cold-blooded, they don't eat people...
So I didn't need much encouragement to watch the third movie whose war scene I found very exciting. I'm a sucker for the uneasy alliance storyline and watching mortal enemies fight side-by-side against a common threat.

As for the name, I've always been confused by the author's choice of the Twilight theme. It still doesn't make much sense to me. I'm sure she had her reasons and has explained it before, but to me it just doesn't fit properly, and if she really has had to explain the Twilight theme, maybe it really was just a poorly chosen title and theme.

Any film or tv show associated with "vampires who love" will always strike me as a chick-flick gaymance. Vampires are monsters. Dracula was a vampire... a real vampire is a monster. Vampires crave to prolong their immortality while werewolves have most often been depicted as victims happy to be rid of their curse upon their deaths.
But as long as there are some gory twists and action sequences, I'll partake.

MJN: How many people have ostracized you for using the word "Twilight?" While it's true that I once considered the possibility that I am in reality surrounded by turd-flinging morons, I have to doubt that so many people would have been alienated from your creations simply because you used the word Twilight.

EDIT: I find myself jealous of Jacob/Taylor Lautner much the same way I'm jealous of some of my male cousins. We all share a fairly "tropical" background Asian/Native/Hawaiian/Latino what-have-you, but I feel like I'm the odd duck that developed into a pale, scrawny, wannabe-German mutt. Then again, I also find myself jealous of Ro Pattinson's looks (at least onscreen, wtf's up with the mess he becomes in public), despite the fact that my girlfriend really dislikes him as Edward (she had imagined Edward sharing the face of a crush she had in high school and never let it go). TMI, yes.
