This weekend, “Twilight”, a teenage vampire love thriller movie comes out, much to the delight of tween girls with really bizarre ideas of what love should be like.
And for some reason, NPR is all over it.
There’s a review, in which Kenneth Turan (like a lot of other movie reviewers) announces that he is not, and has never been, a 13 year-old girl. Also, there really is a Forks, Washington, and fans of the books are heading there on vacation, despite the fact that it’s apparently a very boring place. And for real, who is setting young girls up for so much romantic disappointment?
If you’re not sure what all of this is about, be like me and check out Twilight in Five Minutes.
Does anyone over the age of 17 plan on seeing this? Can anyone explain the appeal to me? Are vampires becoming the new zombies?
