Twilight

[Andy]

The excitement generated over Twilight lead me to wonder what the story was. I kinda like when I can be a shit head and dislike something that lots of other people like. So I decided to grab the book and give it a read. I've only read about 150 pages, but so far it's not half bad. Definitely meant for a chick audience, but not bad.

Of course nothing has really happened yet other than setting up relationships, but it's keeping me turning the pages which is actually fairly impressive.

Not that anyone gives a shit, but I'll let you know my opinion of it when I finish.

So...when are you getting your penis removed?

If you are interested in Vampire romance, check out True Blood on HBO. I'm going to start reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels upon which the series is based. I've heard good things about them, and the series is damn good.

Twilight looks like poop.

I just finished True Blood (the series). I didn't like the first couple of episodes all that much, but it really started to hit its stride by episode 3 or 4. Now I'm totally hooked.

Me too. I thought it was going to turn into some melodramatic poopfest after the first couple of episodes, but I stuck with it. It's one of my favorites right now, and I love the direction it's going in. I think the sociopolitical and racial subplots are excellent as well.

the season turned out great. i like the shapeshifter addition as well as the whole possibility of wherewolves and "you don't even want to know what all there is" stuff. it really opens it up.

i also like the racial/civil rights undertones but they need to be careful with that, if they correlate the vampires too closely with other minorities and their struggles from the past. we've only seen maybe 2 or 3 that are trying to "mainstream", ei. not kill people while there are a whole bunch of them that still bite people and feed off them. i haven't read the books and maybe it'll come out that a majority of them are good and want to assimilate but if they're equating the vamp civil rights movement with the actual one and it becomes too transparent it may be a problem.

or you could watch the show for what it is and quit being such a pussy

My wife is obsessed with the series now. ARG.

A quick review. If you're looking for horror, this is not it. It's definitely a chick book. The basic story is how a human girl and a vampire fall in love. It's a bit wishy washy and meant for high school girls. It was written well enough that I managed to get through it, but the first book in the series has done nothing but really setup characters and relationships.

I would suggest it for your wife or girlfriend.

Yeah, and then why did you voluntarily start up a thread talking about wanting vampire penis in your ass? That's just weird...
