Verbatim

"I could kill you quite easily, Bella, simply by accident." His voice had become just a soft murmur. He moved his icy palm to rest it against my cheek. "If I was too hasty...if for one second I wasn't paying enough attention, I could reach out, meaning to touch your face, and crush your skull by mistake. You don't realize how incredibly breakable you are. I can never, never afford to lose any kind of control when I'm with you."

If you read those words, what kind of film scene do you imagine to go with them?

a) A romantic moment between two teenagers in love, or

b) A crazy-eyed guy approaching a cowering girl in a dark basement?

I mean, seriously.

I'm so glad I have you guys to point out the crappage, so I don't have to actually read/watch it.

Devon was made to watch it at someone's house and he said he lasted about 20 minutes and then ran screaming.

Nothing turns a girl on like accidental homicide!

WOW! Do tweens these days REALLY wanna feel so totally helpless? I mean, can you imagine those words coming from Tony Manero's mouth?

"Yo! I could break yo ass, so don't get in my fuckin' face. Now, let's dance."

I imagine this cuddled in the bleachers during the Thanksgiving HS football game, between large gulps of peppermint schnapps.

When did vampires all turn into this generation's Fabios? Between this and True Blood, just ugh.

My first reaction when reading this was "those fan fic writers are just weird". Then I realized it wasn't a fanfic but the original! argh.

*rolls eyes* The only vampire-related story I've ever liked is Buffy.

One of my friends from high school and college is a Twi-mom or whatever. She LOVES it, and so does her daughter. I popped on to Facebook briefly yesterday, and all of her posts are about Eclipse.

It's not that she's fannish - I mean, who am I to talk, with my own obsessions! :-P - but then again, she's never had good taste to begin with. (Not to mention we caught her stuffing the ballot box to nominate herself for things in our Senior Polls - you know, Most Popular, Best Smile, and other silly superlative-type things. I won Best Car. LOL)

Still, how anyone can find this shit romantic... Oy.
