Also yes edward does limit what she can do but if you read or watched all the movies and books you would know she really does not care what he says. for example, she wants to be a vamp no matter what he says, she hangs with jacob no matter what he says. and in new moon she even tells him to shut his mouth. so really its showing how not to take crap from a man. And i too am a grown woman and i love twilight so stop saying that if girls were older they would understand or that they need and older person to guide them cause its bull. Just get over it and move on cause you cant stop millions of young and old people from loving a brillient series. and the only reason you are saying anything is because you are a prob. a bitter old woman who cant keep a man, so you just wanna talk crap about the men in this series, get a life.claudann1030http://www.blogger.com/profile/00110084776321158790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-89890730889272262252010-09-16T15:21:28.769-05:002010-09-16T15:21:28.769-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.claudann1030http://www.blogger.com/profile/00110084776321158790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-56895808533546947842010-09-16T15:06:23.542-05:002010-09-16T15:06:23.542-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.vampgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06930631010099295784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-65561648924753735672009-10-21T07:02:10.296-05:002009-10-21T07:02:10.296-05:00Look, everybody has their right to their own opinion. We know that. But please don&#39;t diss others for liking or believing in something. Okay, so you may not like the object or particular fad that they&#39;re obsessing over, and express that all you want. But don&#39;t judge people and sit there dissing all who like Twilight. It&#39;s unjust. <br /><br />As for me, I am a fan of the Twilight Saga. Yeah, so what?! You don&#39;t have to like it. It&#39;s probably crap, but the thing is.. it&#39;s an escape from reality, and something people can talk about and obsess over. I mean, they may not be entirely well written, or they may not be well made movie-wise.. but it&#39;s a fad for many. Please respect that and don&#39;t diss them.<br /><br />I respect everybodys opinions, but I do not respect hateful judgemental people.teehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02427287670812767179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-63571744003396893872009-10-20T13:51:07.719-05:002009-10-20T13:51:07.719-05:00^ It&#39;s not just the movie - it&#39;s the books, too.Roxishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05329086343908062605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-84877613587202029842009-10-20T07:51:20.342-05:002009-10-20T07:51:20.342-05:00I can&#39;t tell you how glad I am to have stumbled onto this old post of yours....my husband and I made the grave mistake of watching twilight recently and in his words &#39;it would be more interesting watching a glacier melt&#39;. Sadly we seem to be the only people who found the film both mind numbingly boring and trite at the same time, as well as the only people shocked by the wave of insanity and hype which surrounds it. The only thing that made me laugh more than the film or your critique there of, is the long line of crazy that commented on this post... wow... you would think people could take the criticism of film a little less personally. I mean really, if you dont agree with someone then just dont read their blog... really! not only that but the age of the people who are getting themselves in an absolute blinding rage over this film is terrifying. When I was that young I didn&#39;t think a film would change my life, nor did I ever obsess over a film. Your post is very interesting and is a valid point with regard to more than just &#39;Twilight&#39;.PJShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06774206755382706961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-58627339264604128742009-08-20T14:11:23.917-05:002009-08-20T14:11:23.917-05:00Ahh....this totally made my day. <br /><br />Vampire Princess, Abby-Settle down. When you read real literature (Ayn Rand, Thomas Pynchon, etc) you will understand how good books are written....These books are shallow, terribly written, sad excuses for entertainment. You are entitled to your opinion, but chill out. Its not like it really matters. You are just teen girls who have NO idea what you are talking about because you haven&#39;t been exposed to what you need to be exposed to. You&#39;ve been flooded by these sickeningly plague-like fads. Its cliche after cliche after cliche. Sickens me.pharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00255640678463984847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-34405573346035671082009-02-13T20:33:00.000-05:002009-02-13T20:33:00.000-05:00Luna, that was horribly rude.

Lady, it's people like you who make everyone else in the world miserable. You nit-pick at every little thing you don't agree with. IT'S JUST A MOVIE for goodness sake. You're the type that picks out all the bad and none of the good. I also suggest reading the books for yourself before forming any sort of opinion on the subject. You should know every film's adaptation of a book is very far from what it should be. Inform yourself of the real relationship between the two main characters of the series before bashing the books. So what if teenage girls enjoy this series? That doesn't mean it defines their lives. And if it does, who are you to judge? They have every right to decide that for themselves. People aren't criticizing you for your beliefs, so you shouldn't be so quick to judge others and how they live their lives.Sadiemk90http://www.blogger.com/profile/17041024083449260684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-9173978285420899342009-01-26T14:46:00.000-05:002009-01-26T14:46:00.000-05:00all of u people need to shut the fuc* up because it's just a dame movie and if litter girl like the shi* then it's better then them sucking dic* some whereblack cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13454257150866072700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-90238850952648658312009-01-25T00:06:00.000-05:002009-01-25T00:06:00.000-05:00For some reason one of the most common comments thrown out to Christian teens is about relationships is that there is this 'one' special person that God has in mind for them. They will be incomplete without them and must 'save' themselves for this person. This plays into the medieval concepts of chastity and chivalry and Prince Charming. Knight in shining armor and all that. Submit to him. Stay in your place.<BR/><BR/>I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that actually concluded with a strong female not giving in to this prevalent stereotype.dixongehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211464970485630320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056329753470495031.post-53816426342624615422009-01-23T21:04:00.000-05:002009-01-23T21:04:00.000-05:00To TroublemakerSupreme-<BR/><BR/>Yes yes yes, VampirePrincess and I are very much obsessed.

When will it end? What bothers me most is the control issue - it's really encouraging young women to interpret male control and domination as a normal, necessary, even sexy component of relationships. From a young age girls learn this and later in life it can be confusing when a man is controlling or abusive - on the one hand it feels threatening and humiliating, on the other hand, his behaviour can be interpreted as masculine.Saver Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14771358513167838528noreply@blogger.com
