I haven't heard of it either, but I'm in college as well. I saw a brief glimpse of a scene from the upcoming movie and was told it was some kind of fantasy flick. I didn't even know it had vampires or was based off a book series. It's a good thing I do now, though - I'll be avoiding it in theaters when it hits.
If it helps at all, these things are less common after high school.

I kinda hate you now, for not having to go through this... Anyways it's probably there just more low key, at least until the stupider attendees find it, then you will know the pain of Edward "He doesn't F^cking exist so I don't give a f^ck how romantic he is" Cullen.Eggo post=18.71967.743148 said:
I actually read Twilight all the way through. I suggest skipping to the end to see the idiot Bella get her ass kicked.
Anyways, as a member of the gender that idiotically likes this book, I have figured out why people read it. It may suck in all aspects of good writing, but it's not like teenagers nowadays can read anything classic. I read Twilight last year. This year I read Dracula. Oh gee, which do you think I enjoyed more?

In sunlight they sparkle (I've read the books thought they were O.K. but got pissed off at them when people started going on about them) Sunlight doesn't kill them.Noamuth post=18.71967.743185 said:The series looks and sounds ridiculously boring, like Anne Rice-Lite (a scary thought.. ych).
But I might ask something. Is it true the vampires in Twilight sparkle?
You have no idea how hard it is trying to explain to people that Vampires can't cross running water or go into a house un-invited! GAH!!!Noamuth post=18.71967.743208 said:

What you're referring to is Bram Stoker's depiction of vampires. He didn't create the idea of vampires so other authors are free to create their own vampire lore.
It's nothing new that a lot of books written for teens are paper-thin in terms of plot and character personality, I found it easier to just start reading mature books.
That still seems to be the image created by other authors and film makers and is the image I associate with vampires. I have no problem with people creating their own style of Vampires but what pisses me off is when you try and describe the "standard Vampire" and they immediately think your wrong because thats not the way Twilight describes it.ThePlasmatizer post=18.71967.743246 said:
Well, actually there are several different legends about vampires from Central Europe and what the vampires could do differed a lot. But the rules with running water and entering are actuelly present in many of them (and they predates Bram Stoker).ThePlasmatizer post=18.71967.743246 said:
