Dante Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've noticed a lot of people getting very excited about some people coming who are connected to 'Twilight'. Now, i've seen that there are a couple of books out, and I think there was a film last year, but is this really such a big deal? What's the mass appeal of it? Is it like a Harry Potter type thing? It seems to have passed me by - odd really, because a quick google search seems to indicate that it's a vampire type thing, and I quite like the classic vampire movies, and even got into Buffy for a while... So - can someone explain things to me? Cheers Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkFox Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Sparkly vampires. Think that sums it up! More of a love story than a vampire story, and they sparkle in the sun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz5490 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Actually not all Twifans are crazy . . . some of us are kinda normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm normal too! I have always been a huge fan of all things supernatural, but hadn't read the books or watched the film cos they were just in the teen section (I am 37) But a friend of mine told me to read the first book. I did, then went out and bought the other three, booked tickets to the cinema to see the film (thankfully it was still in) and I was hooked Its just Buffy and Angel without the sarcasm. Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE Buffy and Angel fan!!!!!!!!!!! But this is really sweet and romantic. Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are my favourite of the books, bit faster pace Try it, either it is for you or it isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara11 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I would suggest read the books before watching the films..... as usual books are more detailed and in parts this is beautifully written and quite poetic..(have I gone too far with the poetry????)

lakey89 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 i think its a bit far saying the twilight fans are crazy! there are fan groups of everything that always go that extra step and create an image of fans which isnt actually true. twilight and the saga are amazing books that have been transformed into a film with some beautiful people. sure there are always going to be people who will jump on the twilight fan train wagon but i guess thats the same with most things.

minshy17 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) twilight also makes you look at your current partner (if you have one!) and think...you don't sparkle for me ...... you b*stard :) i am OBSESSED but i wouldn't scream in the face of the stars, surely that would just annoy them...when i meet peter i am going to play it cooooool oh and also i actually discovered the books after seeing the film but i was glad a did as i already had the most important characters pictured in my head as i read the books, if i had read the books first and then watched the film the character image in my head would have been ruined.

RacheyTink Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Sad thing is I havent read anything since dunno why just havent had the urge to read anything since Me too!

Daniel Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 It ain't just teenage fan girls who love Twilight. I am a 28 year old male and thought Twilight was last year's best film and certainly one of my favorites now, I even read the book (and I'm not a big reader). That said I am a HUGE Buffy fan, so I guess they are similarities. I look forward to meeting Peter (aka Dr Cullen) next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxy-Song Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I love Twilight just for the crack of it. I would never go to a Twilight con just because not all the fans but there are some hard core mad but thats true about most fandoms. It's a shame it looks like the Edward book is never going to be published Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
