I think of the series as a girls confusion between necrophilia and beastiality.

Yet to and probably never will watch it. Unless the vampires turn into ninjas vs the pirate werewolf scourge...part 2...the Revengeance directed by Michael Bay. *screen explodes outwards*

I've heard Twilight is a lot like soccer; they run around for two hours, nobody scores and a billion fans insist you just don't understand.

I don't know anything about the "Twilight Saga", but vampires generally aren't indestructible. If your unlife is so unbearable, why not just destroy yourself?
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

There's plenty of vermin to feed on that someone with that particular "curse" wouldn't have to harm an innocent if they didn't want to.

You are far more brave than I. And I agree with you on the immortality thing- just think of all the books there would be time to read if you were immortal! Doesn't sound like a curse to me.
Haven't seen any of the movies, nor read any of the books, but I hear the books are way better.

This and you're advocating Brutes over Tanks.. This is not the Myrmydon I thought I knew.
I've seen 'em and read the books, the books are better, if you can look past the fact that Stephanie Myers writes like a down-syndrom mutant, they aren't bad.
Although, the main character (name escapes me, atm) does cream her pants everytime she see the Vamp, this got a little tiresome after the 743rd time...
Anyone ever catch some TrueBlood? Now thats what a Vampire movie should be!
Twistin' heads around, mid-coitus so that he can't see her face...
Tears, blood, sweat... Yea, a real Vampire show!

Honestly though, ACE, its one of my roomies' fault. The conversation goes like this:
Her - "You should watch Twlight, you'll like it." (all googly smiles)
Me - "Can I have a barium enema instead?"
(FYI, that does not win over anyone in a conversation. Just for future reference. )
Listening to someone that I'm not sleeping with as if we were. A curious sensation, that. Don't know if I care for it much.

I love the books that the series is based on and have been told the show changes a lot... so I have avoided watching it. If it were true to the books, then I'd probably like it though.

Sounds like a keeper to me, Myr
re: Twilight, I've not seen the movies myself because I try to limit the amount of non-alcoholic garbage I pump into my system. My ex asked me to torrent them for her since she's computer illiterate, that's about as close as I've gotten to seeing them.
Speaking of illiteracy though, while I've not read them myself, I view the Twilight books in much the same vein as Harry Potter. Hardly haute literature but you can't argue with the fact that they're getting a lot of people to read who otherwise wouldn't.
Although I know someone who said she stopped reading the books once she saw the first movie because the movies are so much better. I had to have a good bathroom cry after that.

My thoughts on Twilight: best live action mannequin movie I've seen. They way they move them, you almost think the mannequins have a sort of feelingishness. Or emotion-like symptoms.
Bleah, that and the stalkery-ness of the characters, the unhealthy dependencies...not exactly a good model for the adoring audiences' expectations.
That said, I watched the movies again with rifftrax...now that was a good time. (Rifftax is basically done my the Mystery Science Theater folks, and they're hilarious as ever.)
