New Moon… Soft Porn but for whom?
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films, Horror Reading
Greetings and Salutations.
I saw New Moon yesterday (ducks for cover from BJ-C). As I am a believer in fairness, in that I don’t think its fair to give something a thumping unless you have seen it. I have read all the Twilight books and have now seen both the films.
Now there is some conjecture as to whether Twilight counts as horror, putting that aside, I still believe that the whole Twilight phenomenon may result in some coming across to the dark side as the books will spark an interest in the horror genre. However in watching the film, which I have to say is better than the first, I began to wonder who in fact is the target audience for New Moon?
As I sat, trying to keep and open mind as Bella mooched about barely changing her facial expression, Edward sparkled and also mooched about barely changing his facial expression. I sat with my fingers crossed when Bella cut herself that Jasper wold in fact chomp down on her neck and snap it, then Jacob Black entered with his wolf pack. Padding about Forkes in nothing but their cut off jeans, shorts, whatever and sneakers, nubile and buff chests out for the world to see (often moist, in the rain)… Ms Harker, I thought, you strumpet, these lads are not of age, stop perving! So I managed to contain my oggling to the oldest wolf of the pack Sam and felt less guilty.
However my confusion, which lets face it, I don’t usually have any issue objectifying the masculine delights within our genre, was further compounded when I came across the website ‘Aussie Twilight Mums‘. This website apparently acts as a hub for the more mature woman to express her love for Twilight and its leading men. One of the women from the website was interviewed on TV (yes that is the state of Australian commercial news) defending her love for Edward as he is actually one hundred and something years old, not seventeen. Rejecting any pedophilic undertones to her questioner!
My question to you dear readers is this: who are the Twilight films really for? Are they to encourage the youth of today to remain chaste, marry your local vampire before you have any type of coitus like activities or are they soft porn for Mum’s who don’t want to go to their local sex shop and buy the good stuff?

Twilight’s Robert Pattinison a cunning linguist?

Greetings and Salutations.
Quick post today, I would like to say thanks to e crew at Vampire News for bringing these lets say interesting Twilight memorabilia to my attention. May I introduce to you the Twipanties!
Now, to take the high moral ground or not. Lets not!
I’m sure there is a joke to be made about the advantage of having Pattinson’s face in a position where you can urinate on it but lets not get too profane, or infer that any of us are into ‘water sports’. To think that potentially young girls are roaming around with Patto’s face on their privates infers many things about our current social culture; and we are in pretty bad shape. However I think that old Patto is trying to dispel the fact he is a dud lover, seing Ms Bell walks around wearing the same facial expression when in public looking like one morose woman.
I deduct that these were allowed out in the public arena so we of the fairer sex are to think that the fanged Brit is in fact a cunning linguist… wink wink. Any thoughts from out there in fangbang land? I will let you all judge this merchandise for the abomination or the sex toy it is, your call.

Twilight ahh action figures?
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Collectibles, Horror Films
Uncle Creepy over at Dread Central posted these lovely Twatlight action figures today… What concerns me is I don’t think the toy company, who shall not be named has completely taken into consideration the potential impact of said action figures.
I fear for the young women who will purchase these figures, I fear for their decline in social contact, grades and I fear for their wrists, right or left whatever takes your fancy. All dirtiness aside, now every little princess whether they be team Jacob or Edward can immerse themselves into a detailed delusional fantasy world that entails either:
1. Jacob is undressing for me, just me and is about to get all furry wolf man, but not until we chastely cuddle up in this sleeping bag.
Or
2. Edward is staring intently at me because I smell so good to him and he loves me and would do anything to protect me… smooch smooch (girl sprinkles glitter over both herself and figurine).
See what I mean, I am sending a warning out to parents, if you want your daughter to achieve anything in her life think carefully before buying these ‘toys’.
