Is it just me, or is Edward Cullen a prick?
I mean, he might be physically perfect and all that junk, but he's rude, selfish, creepy, and a severe pedophile. Not to mention, fictional. And yet somehow, all these teenage girls love him? Why did Twilight's author have to set a male standard that's impossible, let alone unideal, to reach? Heck, we have enough trouble already trying to deal with girl's anorexia to be as skinny as supermodels. This is even more ridiculous. It just don't seem right to me.
Plus, ya gotta admit, the books are poorly written. The only outstanding thing about it is Edward. Edward Edward Edward. When are the REAL guys gonna get a chance? Stop masturbating over fictional vampire pedophiles and go out there and get a non-fictional gentleman that will treat you better than a geriatric vampire ever could.
(the following is sarcasm)
...mind if I sneak through your bedroom window in the middle of the night? Ya know, to "protect" you? *wink wink*
(/sarcasm)
Wake up, girls. Your Knight in Shining Armor will not be located between the covers of a book.
And guys, you don't have to live by the Edward standards. The last thing this world needs is millions of self-absorbed pedophiles. If a girl won't date you because you're not like Edward, then just walk away and let it be that way. You wouldn't come to like a shallow-minded obsessed teenage freak in the end.

However, for those who think they have something new to add to the discussion: You may want to read back and make sure that what you're about to say hasn't already been said four dozen times. It's really annoying to have to read the same thing over and over and respond to it in the same way.

Well, if they all ended sadly, than we would crave happy endings if only because of how repetitive they would become.

haha. that's true. But there should be more variety and they shouldn't go for the obvious ending. I love when an ending surprises me.

surprise endings that you don't expect are fine as long as they themselves don't become formulaic. M. Knight Shamalayn (Sp?) anyone?

yup, then it isn't a suprise anymore. I call him M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong. Only cause his name is practically impossible to pronounce.

Shyamalan.
And it bothers me that people of my age don't appreciate his films. Every teenager who thought it would be a great idea to go see the Village was thoroughly disappointed for the explicit reason that none of them could pay that much attention to something that complex for an extended period of time.

I liked some of them, but they start to have an almost formulaic feeling about them, I like the villiage and lady in the water a lot, thank you very much.

Um, Ana Karenina? You know, the one written by that dead guy, Tolstoy or something or other, that has a pretty f-ed up ending. Like she commits a suicide. Ethan Frome? One of the greatest American classics? Yeah, it's rather tragic. Oedipus? The play? Yup, not a happy ending. Shakespearian tragedies? Should I keep going.
As for movies, American Beauty... not so happy of an ending. The Matrix series? Another "different" ending. The Hitcher? Good movie, not happy. Honestly, there are quite a few movies out there that don't end in the typical Hollywood happy end. If you can pick your movies, you'll find them, trust me.
Either way, I don't think that a tragic ending provides for an interesting ending. I'd trade an ambiguous ending for a happy or tragic ending any day. Sure, they may not be that satisfying, but they are much more creative.

Oh. Now I know. My friend Mindy used to be obsessed with Twilight books. I never knew what they were about or why she loved them so much.
