I was referring to Twilight as an example of two intelligent species living in close proximity and interacting with each other where one is a food source and the other is not. On reflection I think that Twilight is a poor choice because the only vamps that live among the food source are the 'vegetarian' types. A better example would be the movie Blood and Chocolate.
Teenage girl? No but I do have a pre-teen daughter so I am constantly being exposed to this stuff.
Yes. There are many lessons to be learned fromTwilight.
For example, What you should do when you're a one-hundred year old Vampire - Bone high school girls.Obviously.
Wait...hold on....
Joe, that's it, man, I'm calling the cops.
I had a discussion with my wife about this after I had to watch the movie with her and a bunch of girls. I pointed out to her that Edward is dead and cold. Why would Bella (warm and alive) want to have any sort of sexual relationship with someone who is cold and dead? My wife freaks out when I put my cold feet on her I can't even begin to imagine how she would react if I tried to put a cold fleshy member inside of her! Don't these Twilight fans realize that the movie is glorifying necrophilia???
The Vs don't look just like the humans in the new series. Wearing a costume is not the same as actually looking like someone, and that is all I will say about that for now.
Hey,Twilightdeals with some very deep philosophical issues . . . for thirteen year old girls.
Like what do with a determined stalker - Fall in love with him so deeply that you're devoid of any other character traits beyond clumsy.Obviously.
It's funny you should mention that...from what I understand, the girl is actually much more of a stalker than the vampire guy. She's all like, "Why won't you see me? Isn't our love good enough? Look, I hurt myself to get you to come save me!"
Hold up, Churba, before you pass judgement, what wouldyoudo if you were a one-hundred year old vampire?
Kick the ever living shit out of Edward Cullen, most likely.

Because she's like so totaly in love with him and he's like the most wonderful and romantic and sparkly and handsome guy ever, duh.

Then where did you childeren come from?

The real question is, if they did, would they give a shit? I mean, hell, they don't even notice things like, oh, why does a hundred year old vampire who clearly doesn't need or want to be there have to go to high school, other than being conveniently set up so he can Jizz in his pants meet the female lead, who is conveniently about as deep as a small puddle(all the better for the reader to self-insert in her place) and whose only real distinctive feature is that as described in the novel, she looks EXACTLY like the author of said novel.

True, she does have quite an obsession there, but I think he wins, simply because as obsessed as Bella is, She's not the one who breaks into Edward's house to watch him sleep, or watches her every possible waking moment so that he's there when she goes "Whoops, I just tripped over this crack in the pavement and somehow flew ten feet into a market stall curiously filled with porcelin, mirrors and Sunglasses! Which exploded!"

They didn't look like us in the original series either.

Just watched the newest episode. I was very impressed with the tension they were able to build and I found myself trying figure out who was a V and who wasn't. Let's hope they continue to put out quality episodes.

That also happen to have vampire/werewolf fetish, are Mormons, and enjoy graphically described scenes of young women being mutilated as she gives birth to her half-vampire child rather than have an abortion. Oh, yeah. It is in the series. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
Back to "V", I haven't seen it yet, but I look forward to watching it. Perhaps tonight while I do some mending and laundry.

Now Kate, It's not all bad - I like the art of the covers, they're minimalist, yet they have a sense of style, and the font is nice, and easy to read.
Of course, the Idealiation of a relationship so unhealthy it would drive Bobby Brown and Chris Brown to shake their heads and say "That's some messed up shit there, son." does grate somewhat, but after a pint of tequila, the horrid writing and purple prose are almost endurable. Almost.
Oh, the cover art is fantastic and the typesetting is above reproach. I am in complete agreement with you there, mate. However, no amount of tequila can improve the message of the books (which is my biggest gripe of all).
