As an aspiring writer I can recognize bad writing when I see it without having to read a whole book. Twilight has horrible writing and I agree, it’s basically porn for teenage girls. Women aren’t as turned on by visual images as men are, so something that elicits a similar level of arousal in woman is probably going to be less obvious than the equivalent for guys. Women don’t usually like admitting this, which is why women who read romance novels would flip out if their husbands are reading Playboy but it’s the same exact thing.
Me, I love the Harry Potter books. They aren’t literature either but the writing is better and the stories are less inane. I’d let a ten year old read Harry Potter. Heck, I might read HP to my daughter when she’s ten. But I wouldn’t allow Twilight. It’s not a concern for me because this literary flash-in-the-pan will be long forgotten by the time my daughter is a tween.
Bingo. 2 hours of it. Totally sensual. Nothing for the mind. At all. This kind of movie can help put sensitive girls in bondage.
The sensuality aspect is present in many Dracula movies as well to some degree, though the horror aspect also makes them entertaining for men. But "Twilight" is way more blatant in its sensuality.
