pepper79 Quixotic Faye morbid_beauty Quixotic Faye After learning that a 100 year old vampire goes to high school, I decided this series was too ridiculous to delve further into. i know, but it's vampires! haha...i want to give the book a try...but if it's just a big stressed then i'll pass on the movie... When I was a kid, I read a lot of mythological stories about monsters and their origins. I think of vampires as a blood-sucking monsters with no redeeming quality, not the erotic dreamboats that they have lately warped into. So I have no interest in it. U need to get an imagination! thats what life is about!! Imagining things that could most likely never happen but are still cool. Okay, right now I am imagining vampires, which will never exist, and they're still popping up as blood-sucking monsters. It's still not cool. confused
schwoopsies @ Quixotic Faye: again, if you read the book it makes more sense. When you're in a 17 year old body forever, you have to do what you can to fit in with everyone. Like the difference between looking 17 and 18 is so drastic that he can't pass for slightly older than he is? What, he can't fake that he's got enough knowledge to have graduated high school early, after having 100 years to explore human knowledge? Who wants to be perpetually stuck in high school? I don't need to read a book that amounts to nothing more than a teen romance novel in order to "get it," there's nothing more to get than "this is ridiculous."

I don't need to read a book that amounts to nothing more than a teen romance novel in order to "get it," there's nothing more to get than "this is ridiculous." actually, the books reveal that he does go to college some, it just all depends on where his coven lives at the time- they have to move every couple of years because it looks weird that they never age. & they can only live where there is little sunlight and a lot of nature to hunt in... & the paterfamilias of the coven is hell-bent on helping people so he is a doctor and he would like a hospital nearby to work at...
If you read the books you will see that most of the vampires in it stick to the monsterous image you picture, but the Cullens are using a huge amount of effort to "be good"... but even they have their moments.... I mean Edward "loves" Bella but he still wants to kill her... and all of the Cullens have a violent monterous vampiric back ground... Edward doesnt even think he has a soul- he thinks that if someone "kills" him he will go to hell
If you've ever watched Angel, you may understand the whole concept better because Angel is a vampire who was "cursed" with a soul and is good, but in his past (and still buried with in him) he was Angelus, the evil monster vampire who thrived on "delicious murder"- its kinda the same for Edward and all of the Cullens; he was once a murderer but something changed him...
You don't have to read the books... you don't have to like the vision... but please don't patronize those of us who do... and know that you can't really criticize something that you haven't even given a chance- you clearly haven't read the books, so you don't really know what you're talking about...
If you had read the books and didn't like them, it would be another story; my sister forced me to read them even though I thought they sounded stupid & I ended up loving them, but our best friend read them & hated them, but his opinion is qualified because he took the time to form an educated opinion on it...
Please do not think I am criticizing you unfairly; I have and had no intention on doing so, but I did wish to put my two cents in...
Also, I want to see the movie but I know it will very different from the book, so I'm trying to think of it as a different story with a few similarities...
