Twilight
discussion
Vampires don't sparkle.
@ Rachel: Same here (glad you discovered reading!!!), but there are so many better books out there than Twilight...
@Rachel I love Stefan too! and there are sooo many other hot vampires in so many other extremely good vampire books. Twilight also renewed my love in reading. After being forced to read horrible text books all through college I never wanted to read again but once I had free time to choose my own books I love it again.
@Jennifer--I had the same thing happen! All that assigned reading really killed my urge to pick up a book for fun. Jane Eyre changed my mind, not Twilight...but I read a bit of everything! :)
best vampire ever is Damon <3 !!!
Vampires do not sparkle in the sunlight they explode and die and twilight makes vampires look GAY where they rock.they don't not have sex every 100 years if they are that hot.
its stupid and pathetic .,(gag)
@ Rygunanas: You just made my day...
twilight is Homo

lol...that always made me wonder!!!
The only reason twilight is popular is because of the way the books describe edward. Hes a gentleman with a tortured soul. Hell, it made A lot of people think being gay ."one must assume that Edward is hoping some macho Italians will see him in at full sparkle and beat him to death for being gay."
@lena : What would you do if you saw a sparkling man walk down the street ??... gags
I suppose a sparkling man will definitely be an excellent accessory, more than sparkling diamond...:)

Why would they have no clothes on? Because of their temperature? Way silly. If it's their natural temperature, then they are not suppose to feel it and strip their clothes. Human might feel the heat, not them.
If they feel the heat all their lives, then the vampires should wear at least 3 layers since they are so cold....:)
Nurlely wrote: "I still think Edward's revealing skin is better than the half-naked shifters. Why would they have ..."I think that has more to do with the attitude they are described with than with their body heat. Their thinking and culture is "mucho macho", think boys on a lifelong Spring Break only hormonally more off-kilter. :D
Also, keep in mind that werewolves/shapeshifters are living creatures, whereas vampires are part of the walking dead. So there would be a natural difference to how they react to heat/cold. The more interesting question is how do they sustain the energy obviously needed to generate such a high body temp?
Gerd wrote: "...Also, keep in mind that werewolves/shapeshifters are living creatures, whereas vampires are part of the walking dead.

I think it is more about commercial side. The movie tried its best to attract female by posing half naked males.
But well....I suppose I must not expect a good supernatural world in Twilight. After all, Twilight is romance.

The idea of having vegan (with animal blood as an exception) vampires is kind of weird, no matter what right a writer has in her hand. And poor bears and lions. They are endangered animals. Why can't they drink tomato juice instead? LOL

Vampires have to drink blood to survive. This is DEFINITELY true. I don’t know how much they need to drink, or how often, but a vampire will die if he doesn’t drink the right amount of blood. Drinking blood helps vampires live so long.A REAL VAMPIRE DOES/IS:
1.the lord of darkness
2.fears the cross
3.hate garlic
4.sleeps in a coffin
5.not gay
6.does not feal love
only 1 thing on its mind,it being blood
turns into a bat
hates sunlight
has a fancy wardrobe...
Count Dracula is a vampire, but Edward Cullen is a fairy.Twilight is fake
Rygunans wrote: "5.not gay6.does not feal love..."
Why wouldn't there be gay vampires?
It's never mentioned that Dracula's feeding off male victims doesn't follow the same semi sexuality that feeding of female victims does.
It was very likely love that killed Nosferatu, the sunlight was just his chosen means.
So, obviously they can feel love.
Rygunans wrote: "Vampires have to drink blood to survive. This is DEFINITELY true.

Drink..."Vampires are fiction so whatever the writer chose to do is their own creative mind at work. so nothing about vampires is "definitely true". So many vampire stories use the same characteristics as the writer before them. Stephanie Meyers chose to be different. If I wrote a vampire story and choose to make them friendly, evil, sparkly, vegetarians etc etc., that would be my choice. There are going to be people that like it or not....haters and fans...but she is the one laughing at all her critics and thanking her fans...as she makes her huge deposits in the bank.

The myths and movies put odd ideas in your head that make you think that you'd recognize one but it's all fake. They're out there but you just don't know. No body can say that Vampires don't exist unless they have proof.
I loved it when that girl on Vampire Diaries asked Damon why he doesn't sparkle. The look on his face was priceless.
Rygunans wrote: "they are really exist . but they have long been extinct like dinosaurs ... They're out there but you just don't know"You realize that they can't be both extinct and just waiting around the next corner, right? :D

I always thought the vampires' sparkle was having to do with the fact that they were as hard as rocks. Very often in the books the vampires skin is described as being as hard and cool as a rock. I considered the sparkly bit to be another branch-off of that--the vampires glitter a little bit like some rocks do. Because of this, I liked the way Edward seemed to slightly "glitter/sparkle" in the books. However, I think the way he looked like a disco-ball in the movies was a bit over done. It seems like this is where a lot of the complaints come from. In my experience, anyway.
Rygunans wrote: "Vampires have to drink blood to survive. This is DEFINITELY true.

Drink..."I'm confused as to why you would rant about what a "real" vampire is, and then go on to say in another post almost right after that the media has filled us with unreal ideas of what vampires really are, and how no one can really know what they are like. You just contradicted yourself.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer vampires are so much better! They aren't wussies and they're evil... so awesome! Hardly anyone knows that there are books and comics, which are so good!
I will be the first one to say that I get distracted easily by pretty, sparkly things...but a sparkly vampire....please! I want my vampires manly, ruthless, and drop-dead (literally) sexy! Give him a hot accent and I'm all over it. Sure, I enjoy Damon and Bones...they are killers and do have that loving side, but they aren't wimpy. I want a vampire that will kill for the woman he wants, not stand by her side and match her nail polish.
@ Gerd & briana : I HATE TWILIGHT . Vampire must be a devil or monster .they are canibalism and drink blood . not a pussy vampire like twilight . they are vegetarian .You eva saw a sharp-toothed creatures who nobody likes their veggies ??

I dont believe vampire hunters like van helsing are hunting me because I am not a vampire nor do I believe they exist. You're the one that needs proof that they don't exist....I on the other hand need proof that they did.....Aside from people that call themselves "modern day vampires" that have dentist fit them with fangs and drink chicken blood. You say they exist and then you say they are extinct...which one is it? it has to be one or the other...but can't be both. get your "opinion" straight...cause that is all it is ...an opinion.(gags)
Brianna wrote: "Lindis wrote: "Actually, she took this story from a dream that she had. The dream was the meadow scene. In the book he reveals his sparkliness to her in "their meadow" not up in the montains betwee..."I read the books before knowing about Stephenie Meyer creating the vampires' sparkling skin from a dream, so I thought the same thing Brianna! Like when you see a rock sparkling in the sunlight; their skin is as hard and cool as a rock, and therefore looks like one too. I wonder if Edward can absorb the warmth of sunlight like a rock does too, or if he's just always freezing cold?
Meyer had a dream about a sparkling vampire. That's where the idea sparked. Yes, it's different from the norm.Not every vampire has to be pure evil. Meyer exploded with Twilight which then paved the way for more vampire books.
Did I like the sparkling vampire? I have to say it was different but hardly something worth over-analyzing. Personally, I like my vampires to be both good and bad, mischievous, devious...
Whatever your preference, like it or not, it's got you debating about the sparkling vampire. :)
About the sage being predictable...If Bella hadn't fell for Edward and hadn't become a vampire, would you have been disappointed?

Why don't you just make a creative comment about what you think about the book and why you are disagreeing my comment instead of suggesting nothing related to it.

Twilight vampires are fake vampires ..They are fairies ,, sparkling like a little stars (ROTFL).

All vampires are fake.

This discussion is regarding fictional characters! So saying 'Twilight vampires are fake vampires..they are fairies, sparkling like little stars' is ridiculous, because what vampire isn't fake (hence the story being FICTION)!? Seems like a petty statement to me, because they aren't really even fake per se, they're just a fictional product of the author's imagination. Stephenie Meyer CHOSE to make her vampires that way because it's her own book, and although the sparkles kind of do put a damper on the whole bad-ass vamp vibe, I like the fact that she chose to make them different from a lot of the other vampire stories out there. Plus I think the movie made it look much more silly, as opposed to what I pictured in the book

girl I've been trying to explain to this "rygunans" person exactly that but it seems that he knows "real vampires that exist but are extinct" (his words not mine)and "belong to a clan and speak in a transylvanian accent" yikes!!
Vampires are fiction, as other supernatural creatures are. Anyone claims for them to be real must be daydreaming, living in imagination while walking the reality.

Cindi wrote: "But diamonds are a girl's best friend! "Yep. Because there is no sparkling man walking this planet. We have to stick to diamond though.
the sparkle things are weird.I like werewolves more.
Syahira, have you seen the newest True Blood preview? Where Alcide is standing (shirtless!) next to Sookie and makes a sorta growling noise and she tells him to shut up and not make werewolf noises any more? Hilarious! Can't wait til June ....
Lol, Good point .. Though when you think about it .. Stefan is too soft who wants to see a vampire who doesn't like Blood ?! I mean c'mon -.-

Who would want a BF that snacks on your hamster when you don't look.

Or like Louis in 'Interview with the Vampire' eating rats-yuck! But I suppose it made him look rather admirable for not wanting to let go of the tiny bit of humanity he felt he had left. But yeah, I'd rather not have to babysit my cats while my boyfriend is visiting, or go on a date with him and find us dining in a sewer by candlelight, lol
