Actually, he really does care, which makes the situation even sadder. He's basically come out and said (although not this bluntly) that the books suck, and he really regrets taking the part. Poor bastard.

If he regretted it that bad, he would not have promoted it so vehemently and signed on for the sequel.

One of the better parodies I've seen:

Kefka!


Even better than that is the characterization of the Bella knock-off. Classic.

Wow, so she's basically the Carlos Mencia of vampire stories?

Yes, Bob. Yes she is. In fact that's the most succinct summary of her talents I have ever heard.

It worries me that both my mother and my youngest brother love that series. It seems so mediocre.

You know the best part of that? Twilight vampires. I guess he thinks a torchbearing mob will come out of nowhere and stake him when they see him sparkle...?

I dunno. Trying to apply logic to Twilight makes my head hurt.

Nah. Worst case secnario, he gets teased for wearing body glitter. And hey, maybe the tauts will get him to use the time testing "bullet to the brain" method.

But he's a VAMPIRE! A bullet to the brain CAN'T HURT HIM!

On that note, can mass confusion destroy a vampire? Kinda like in a crappy Sci-Fi movie were the only way to destroy a computer is to force it into a logical paradox? That would be a great new variation on the mythos. Much better than 'Twilight' at any rate. Also, did that computer thing happan in the movie 2001? I don't think it did but I haven't seen it in a while... THIS CONCLUDES AN AWKWARD RAMBLING POST

I'm gonna say this is what given that I'm too lazy to look it up. But what about being engulfed in flames? Would that kill a Twilight vampire? Just hit 'em with some Febreeze and a lighter.

Just reading the summary almost made me barf. It's not because it's really disgusting, but because for that to happen doesn't make any fucking sense.

In a horror movie, it's sort of okay, because you expect it. But very graphic stuff coming out of nowhere are incredibly annoying and stupid.

Also, if a vampire somehow manages to be strong enough to survive sunlight, it should at least get major sunburns, as in its skin is boiling. That'd be badass.

Yeah, I'm weird. But it helps clearing my mind of sparkling vampires.

Of all the things that made me hate the series, it was the SPARKLING FUCKING VAMPIRES. I can understand having fangirls, I can understand bad writing, I can understand piss poor character development, but SPARKLING FUCKING VAMPIRES? That's just going to far! So yeah, Twilight sucks because the vampires sparkle. Yes I can be petty.

Guys...it's not really about vampires, it's about love. They love eachother, guys.

That's what I was told by a girl defending the series. My sister owns the movie, I might watch it for the giggles.

So, Stalking = Love? Does not compute.

Its about a creepy and fake love that lonely fanfic writers endorse. The kind that suffer from a painful absence of any real emotional experience involving relationships, usually caused by being a epic loser or taking a vow of abstinence.

So, it's a story about a middle school relationship?
