    My ex-flatmate used to watch the first film every day. Every. Single. Day. I didn't think the first film was that bad actually... I can definitely see the appeal.

    Then I read a couple of chapters of one of the books... I would rather eat my own feet than be exposed to that level of literature again.

    I am of the opinion that you give it too much credit by referring to it as "literature."

    I honestly don't understand the appeal when there are superior supernatural book series and shows and movies that don't get as much attention. I know what the appeal is, I just don't understand it.

    Proof, if any was need, that great authorship & great films, cannot, should not, ever be measured in mass appeal.

    I just want to know if that one asian guy gets any screen time. He's my favourite character.

    Apart from the Romanians. Do we see the Romanian vampires? Those guys are just so awesome. They're all "we just want a fight". When spoiler tag I supposethe "battle" is resolved peacefully and everybody celebrates, the Romanians are all pissed because they just wanted to kill trout. I can get behind characters like that.

    The Asian kid doesn't get any lines that I recall. The high school humans get a couple of funny moments during the wedding, but then they're gone forever...

    The Romanians aren't around yet.

    Bella's human friends are the best characters in the series!

Also, during pregnancy, families fight like werewolves and vampires.
    I... have to side with Shlup on this. That's a pretty week criticism for such a troutty series with a whole troutton of disturbing premises to criticize: relationships, sex, etc. The rest of the review is entirely accurate, though. I laughed at her summary of the honeymoon sex:

    ''I'm hurting you!'' Edward groans with guilt. ''No. It's. Good,'' says Bella, wincing.
    I'm not sure a better parody could be produced.

    I'm watching it right now, and oh my god that "sex" scene. WORST SEX SCENE EVER!

    So awkward and lame! All those horny middle aged Moms must have been so disappointed. You can see racier stuff than that on ABC Family.
