SOS, Save Our.... erm.... Slasher?

I'm watching Twilight.

Mum is punishing me for my SMeyer hate by making me watch the movie.


Someone send help, please. Or at least tell me Charlie, Emmett, and Alice retain their awesome and that it helps against the horror of Edward and Bella.

Great Googly Moogly!

Is that even remotely accurate to the things that actually transpire in the book, or were they just being hyperbolic?

Oh, honey.

Twilight means never having to say you're kidding.

I've not read them (Yeah, 30-something guy reading Stephanie Meyer would virtually guarantee the cops knocking on my door on suspicion of pedophilia or something), but Jesus, how on earth does a poorly-written Mary Sue get to be so damn popular, especially among older women, some of whom have daughters?!

... Because Twilight is one long Self-Insert fantasy. Duuuuh. :3

:( I liked it better when Self-insert fantasy was limited to Choose Your Own Adventure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure) books.

The one I remember best was The Trumpet of Terror (http://www.gamebooks.org/show_item.php?id=509).
