As I type this thousands of people all over (the eastern side) of Australia are enjoying a midnight screening of New Moon. May we celebrate sparkly super-powered stalkers with squeals of joy.

(Forget the retrograde gender politics. I’m still not over the vampires having no weaknesses and x-men super powers. Pshhhh, kids these days have no appreciation of what constitutes a REAL vampire.)
I know! That really bothers me, too.
From what I could tell in the previews, the werewolves also seem able to turn into wolves at will, which strikes me as a similarly Munchkinized, all-the-good-bits-none-of-the-inconvenience version of lycanthropy.

When I was in middle school, only just a few years ago, we all wanted to SLAY vampires. Edward Cullen would have been dusted in seconds.

The thing that really bugs me most about the Twilight series is… WHY THE HELL ARE VAMPIRES OUT IN THE DAY?
Seriously, Meyers had NEVER read any vampire literature or anything before writing that shit.
Ergh.
