I liked that 13 year old girls got upset that he has a slight amount of chest hair there. Because that barely noticeable thing is the most unappealing aspect of that picture.
Where light is, there may also be darkness.
So shooooooooooooooooooooooo, you Twilighters.
This thread screams for an anti-sparkle-fraction, literally.
I've read a part of the book, know the movie (thank god I didn't fall asleep) and hm....how should I judge.....it's the worst crap I've ever come in contact with.
Mr. Pattinson is just a big yuck factor. *ducks away from thrown objects*
Because one dude stalks the girl he likes for two months, talks to her in shitty one-liners, and they declare their love for one another after 10 days.
You could certainly make that argument. He wants to suck her blood or whatever, but the thing is, he has to be very close to her to do it. If you think about it, the whole concept of a vampire biting the victim on the neck isn't so different from kissing/love bites on their neck from making out/sex. It's an highly sensual act.
So yeah, there is a certain romantic element to it.
I'm going to warn you, I might just majorly bash this book with my personal opinions. Don't say I didn't tell you beforehand.
Not to be offensive but . . . (and keep in mind that this is my personal opinion)
Bella and Edward just seemed like some cheap rendition of Romeo and Juliet minus the "omgz!i wubs you *stabs self in heart with dagger*!!!!1111" part. Also why the bloody hell do vampires sparkle now, explain that crap.
What, are they like freaking runway models now--like they're so beautiful that they can't be seen by mortal eyes? Dumbest crap ever. Last time I checked in Bram Stoker's Dracula vampires did not sparkle nor did they fall for beautiful human girls--they just drank your blood and called it a day.
I'd take Anne Rice's books over Meyer's work any day.
Also Edward's a jerk for pulling that creepy stalker move on Bella and watching her sleep.
"I like hearing your thoughts . . ." What. the. Hell. And this is supposed to influence young girls everywhere and make them feel empowered? This is the filth that young preteen girls like my cousin (hopefully she never picks this up) will turn to in hopes of finding they're own "Edward." I mean it's pretty gross.
The language is frighteningly elementary, I didn't have to pick up the dictionary ONCE when I read through the book. That's bad in my opnion. I like to learn new words, not sit there and read sentences that could've easily been penned by a sixth grader.
Oh and there's more . . . the fact that Bella seems to be so shallow that she falls for the "tall dark and mysterious" boy. So whatever happened to Jacob Black, you knew him from your childhood. You could've hooked up with him and made things a lot less complicated. But no, you just had to hook up with a pasty, weird, obsessive, and controlling vampire that insists on protecting you because let's face it--you can't do crap.
Anyway I'm done. That was my opinion of Twilight and I'm sticking by it.
