Real vampires dont sparkle. Twilight was ridiculous...your thoughts?

I have read all types of vampire literature from Stoker to Rice's and don't forget those movies adaptation of vampires. I can understand where the concept of REAL vampires do not sparkle. They are fictional creatures that are defined to be sinister, malicious, and evil. The thought of them sparkling can be ludicrous. I read Twilight and wont be reading the rest of the series. The book isnt for everyone and that is why it would be ridiculous to some of us.

Real Vampires Don T Sparkle

RE:

I read Twilight and laughed so hard when Edward sparkled & glittered in the sun. What was your reaction to Edward dazzling & sparkling in the sun?

(Remember, we are entitled to our own opinions..dont take it personally)

I wasn't laughing about how vampires don't sparkle in the sun. I laughed at how purple prosey the description of Edward was. To say someone sparkled or glittered in the sun is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure most readers thought he doused himself in body glitter when he woke up in the morning. This is one of the 200 things NOT to do in writing.

I expected him to do something cooler like maybe... well i don't know but something cooler than that. I am not a huge fan of twilight anyway I think there are much better books out there.

In the book i thought it was a new angle to look on the Vampires. but in the movies it looked ridiculous...

In the book i sort of was taken away with the imagery of Edward

In the movie i laughed so hard when i saw him sparkle...

Yup, my reaction was also to burst out laughing. I did it all over again at the baseball game.

Real vampires do nothing at all, of course, Vampires aren't real.

First off, I'm anti-twilight.

Second, you can't define what a real vampire is or isn't. It's different in any series, and it irritates me that people point out several bad qualities in Meyer's vampires.

Some qualities are good, others are goddamn awful.

The fourth book made me vomit(nausea of finishing it 3 hours)

it was exploited too much, and it made me realize.

It's really a disgrace.

A lot of authors like to create their own vampires. They don't always have to be like Anne Rice or others. People come up with their idea of what a vampire is. And that is exactly what Stephenie Meyer did.

I personally, thought it was somewhat cheesy. But in a good way. I kinda just pretended that it didn't happen when I read the book. But other than that, I loved the book. Not as much as some girls do, though.

My fiance's reaction

* commercial comes on for the movie*

Him: Was that vampire out in the sunlight??

me: yeah

him: but shouldn't be burn up?

Me : no he sparkles in the sunlight

Him: So he's a gay Vampire?

At which point I told him he was being terribly sexist

I thought it was more than a little silly. It would have been cooler if he appeared more corpse like in the sunlight or see though like some of those frogs. Something a little more frightening than burn you eyes out sparkles.
