I read interviews where she didn't see or read any of the classic werewolf and vampire books or movies. Add to the fact that she's a sexually repressed Mormon housewife and voila...The Twilight Saga.

Ok, vampires should not sparkle at all...but it gets worse: the one black vampire is out in the sun a field with Bela at one point in the movie—he does not sparkle. Ummm, what’s the deal? Black guys can’t sparkle? Or did he just sparkle less than the others? So, this is an abstinence promoting movie with racist vampire reality? And of course, there is the whole sideline that the “dark” Indians are both shirtless (with shorts?) and lame CGI dogs, while the “pale” Europeans are sparkly, well dressed, upper class, vampires. Who made this, Disney? New moon, old prejudice?

I watched the first Twilight movie, and found it to be a boring, tepid mess. And I've never seen vampires so homogenized. It's like, Disney presents Vampires! Now with more boredom! Sigh.
