There are tons of Twilight forums to market on and based on the amount of money my own wife has spent on Twilight things... there are MANY others who'd shell out a couple hundred for a good bust.And if you're forming your opinion based on the acting job done by the actors in the film... I could name you many horror characters that don't deserve immortalization either, then.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI know, right? That worked out pretty well.Actually, just to clarify, my girlfriend and all her friends are also into the Twilight series. She owns all four and always tries to make everyone read 'em. That's perfectly fine and I've come to terms with that because these books are marketed to people like her, in her age group, with her style, etc...She knows I don't like anything about them, but I'll sit around and discuss them with her and usually our conversations consist of things SHE personally thinks are awful. Like, she'll sit around and steam about crappy writing, contradictions in the storyline, sub-par characters and an obvious lack of inspiration that is way too apparent sometimes. That's to say nothing of the film - she absolutely hated it because it wasn't anything like the books. All that said, she STILL can't stop reading them. haha! She also got angry at the constant mention of "Thanks" to the band Muse that is seriously at the end of EVERY SINGLE BOOK...She said it's almost like the writer was sucking up to the band so she could get to meet them someday. Also, apparently the writer is just some random chick who is currently being sued by her college roommate for "stealing her ideas" in regards to the Twilight books...I'll have to look into that later on.In regards to other horror characters who don't deserve immortalization, who did you have in mind? <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />Cheers,Ryan
