January 7, 2009

Remember the insanity that is (was?) Twilight? The release of the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, the release of the first movie in theaters, the lines of screaming girls, the requests to Robert Pattinson to be bitten (he’s going to need therapy if people don’t let go of that one)… It all seems to 2008, doesn’t… Read More Pushing the boundaries: Going beyond the current definition of Edward Cullen-obsession

Vegetarian Vampires: Supernatural in itself, or just plain Twilight?

January 2, 2009

My recent bout of Edward-Cullen-Obsession-Obsession has got me yearning for good old school vampire-related entertainment. No, don’t worry, I’m not sleeping in a coffin, wearing a cape or using fake vampire fangs – I’m simply dusting out old books and DVDs. Makes me sound a little boring, does it not?

What Girls want: The Real Key to Twilight’s success?

December 18, 2008

For all the talk about how vampire lore is all about the taboo urges of humanity’s sexuality, and that Twilight’s success is related in large part to the constant sexual tension that exists throughout the first three books (SPOILER: Bella and Edward get married in the fourth book, so there ends the tension), I haven’t… Read More What Girls want: The Real Key to Twilight’s success?

One such example – just in case the title of this post didn’t give it away – is… Read More More Obsession with Edward Obsession: Another reason why Moms rock
