Clarification needed: Why do women LOVE Twilight?

[Bowl Full]

I've read the books, watched the movie, listened to a group of girls wet their panties about how Edward Cullen is the man of their dreams, and I still don't understand what's so God damn compelling about it. NOTHING HAPPENS in the movie.
Here's how it goes:
They meet. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. Evil bloke comes in. They fight. Nothing happens. Movie is over.
What a waste of 90 minutes of my LIFE. I could have been doing nothing and felt more productive. Maybe I could have come up with a more creative movie about recycling and tits.

Why is it in EVERY new vampire movie or series the vampires have to be different from the normal interpretation of vampires? You know, invisibility, turning into a bat, sucking blood, not being fucking pansies, having vampire fangs, no reflection, etc. At least some vampire movies based off of novels that "correct" human interpretation of a vampire are GOOD unlike Twilight. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interview_with_the_Vampire (Interview With A Vampire - Anne Rice)

Not to mention the horrible acting. I mean, I've seen worse. If you've seen The Happening, so have you.
"Hmm. My friend just fell off a 10 story building.
Maybe I should express some sort of emotional reaction.
No, no, I'll just look dumb for a while."

You know what? Actually, I wont even give Twilight that much credit. They're both bad. EQUALLY BAD. In fact, someone should just tell M. Night Shyamalan to stop.
Next thing you know, there will be a movie about the were-comb coming to eat your hair and turn you into a were-comb.

The books are about the same. Except there's so much detail about how beautiful Edward is every few pages. Gives you the feeling he shouldn't look like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/2367218375_df1718c14b.jpg

Yes, I am female. That's what makes this all the weirder.

Because Edward is "perfect." That's all there is to it. It's personality/description word-porn.

And that movie about recycling and tits? Make it. I would watch that.

It's a form of escapism for sad teenage girls who have an idealised view of romance.

If Edward is perfection, I'm very disappointed in society. If that's the best it can spit out of it's hairy womb then I might as well change sex and marry a blow-up doll. =D

Because the actor playing Edward is hot. thats why, there just as shallow as men in that respect.

Hence my placement of perfect in quotes. He's not, he's just idealised.

This man speaks the truth.

Same reason guys like Spiderman. An unlikeable and selfish nerd gets bitten by a spider, becomes awesome, and then has beautiful women like Betty Brant, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, Black Cat, (Kitty Pride) and others jump on him like he's the greatest thing slice sliced bread.

Twilight is the female version of this.

Sparkly Vampires!

Spaaaaaarrrrkkkklllyyyy!

Girls love romance and don't like fighting, that is, girls who coo over babies, think about boys too much and are complete fucking pansies. I'm a girl and unless a movie has an in-depth and interesting story, lots of action and blood, likeable characters, or all of the above, it can fuck right off.

Guess what I think of Twilight.

 

[stevetastic]

hmmmmm i didn't realise while writing my comment i sound like either none of the two sexes or an alien observing earth.

 

[Aardvark]

Because they know it really shits introverted little nerds on the internet.

 

[chuckman1]

I know a lot of boys who like Twilight (laughs).

 

[Frybird]

There is not much to add to the above posters, but i wanted to mention how funny it is that these "idealized" romances would be boring and shallow in real life (except for the "kill bad people" part, wich would likely lead to some traumas and a strained relationship)

It's the same as the countless movies where the guy has dozens of photos of the girl of his dreams or the ex girlfriend he still loves. In movies, thats supposed to be romantic, in real life, the guy would be described as a stalker.

Simple answer: Most females suck. By most I mean 90% of those between the age of 13-19. Also they suck because they think guys actually know what a woman wants, and that's just never going to happen, cause not even women know what they want. Enough about that though, the point is twilight sucks, and thus anyone who likes it, also sucks.

*cough*South Park Episode*cough*

EDIT: Seriously, watch the South Park episode about it. I think it will put it into new light for you (i.e. its the new fad for tweeny girls)

A better question is, why do all twilight fan-girls love Germany so much? Not saying Germany is bad, its an okay country, but hasn't done me much lately.

I haven't really heard much about twilight, though I do know that the author has apparently never fully watched a horror movie finding them too horrible, so I assume its crap.If I was a vampire I'd go around killing and torturing people for fun, not swooning about over some prepubescent girl (isn't he about 100 years old because that just makes it even more creepy)
