I don't read the Twilight books. In theory, they should be my kind of thing; I love vampire stories (and Buffy the Vampire Slayer remains my favorite television show to this day). Yet they just sound so stupid--Edward sparkles! Bella teases Jacob yet remains with Edward! Bella makes the best vampire ever!
If you're wondering how I know all of this without even reading the books, it's all because of this site. She has these hilarious recaps of the all the books, plus all kinds of links regarding the Twilight movie. Apparently the actors are doing a tour to promote it, and the fans are absolutely batshit. One girl even asked Robert Pattinson, the guy who plays Edward, to bite her. These people seem to believe that he really is Edward come to life.
The best part of all is that Robert Pattinson gives increasingly hilarious interviews in which he disses the novels. Basically he calls out Edward for being moody and a stalker, and says that it's creepy how Stephenie Meyers has created a character that she is in love with. He seems to absolutely think it's weird how obsessive girls are over this series, and God love him for that. I actually feel sorry for him because these fans will go to all sorts of lengths to proclaim their love for Edward.
I almost want to pick up the books, just so I can make fun of them properly. And I definitely want to see the movie--once it's out on DVD. I won't stoop so low as to see it in the theater.
