This video really needs to be seen to be believed!
I can't think of a film that caused such a mass cult following as Twilight has. I personally am not a fan. I have no desire to read the books and only watched the movie about six months after it's DVD release to see what the fuss is about and I still don't think it's all the good, really. The fantasy aspect of the story line I'd probably like more if there wasn't such a craze after it because I love Harry Potter and X-Men and similar mystical-type movies.
From coming across this link courtesy of Lamebook (if anyone hasn't found the hilarious website of Facebook wrongs-look it up!) it really disturbed me to see how far people go with this type of thing. I understand that this werewolf group may not be directly linked with Twilight but it made me think of the impacts the film's had on society since it's release. Clearly from working in an entertainment retail store, I deal with huge fans of the film spending endless amounts on t-shirts, blankets and really anything with the Twilight name on it really but I just wonder how much further it goes from here.
A lot of grown women are the ones who can tell me the themes and character synopsis from reading the books a gazillion times in their lives but I'm intrigued to know if there's a cult for the older ones who are obsessed with the glistening pretty boy, also known as Edward. Is is just teenagers who feel the need to isolate themselves with fellow "outsiders" and form their own group where they can connect about Twilight or is there something for the older ones. It both fascinates and scares me how far people do take fictional things like this and I don't want to offend anyone if they're mega into this type of thing; I'd prefer not to have my blood sucked out or a pox put upon my house! It's just curious late night ramblings that led me here :)
Have fun kids,

First of all, I'm glad you said you enjoy Harry Potter and not Twilight, lol :)
ReplyDeleteThat was excellent! I too also wonder if there is a group for these 'mature' twilighters, gosh knows there is enough of them out there so it will be interesting if we can find anything for a follow up post.
Loved it, if you weren't already writing a blog I would tell you that you should be blogging!
Twilight is the backbone of western society and culture. It is the most important thing to happen since man landed on the moon. Why do you hate us teen wolves?
