Well in the movie Jacob makes a statement "It's not what it seems" trying to make it sound like the imprinting process is not sexual. But in the end of the movie it shows Jacob and the kid (now grown up) on the beach together with her resting her head on his shoulder, lol. Fans loved these steaming piles of shit.

I do remember thinking back when I watched them out of boredom on TNT or somewhere that the one redeeming factor was that the mythology was actually somewhat thought out. The vampire dude likes the girl specifically because she's a blank slate since his mind reading powers render any normal person boring to him. The werewolves reemerge due to the increased vampire activity. The italian bad vampires actually had a somewhat reasonable motivation trying to capture the precog, and the girl who was invisible to the precog. Of course the movies did a terrible job with all that but I could see some ideas that could have promise in a non teen romance vehicle.

I actually read all the books, and watched the movies. Honestly, the movies weren't anywhere near as annoying as the books. Even with Kristen Stewart.
The books I read specifically for two reasons: 1) so I could shit on them with reliable info, because several women I knew would talk about them incessantly on our guild boards or in EQ, real life, etc. and 2) because I've always had aspirations of being an author, and I wanted to see what made these so hugely popular. Now I know the answer to that question is: women are retarded. Yes, that's pretty much it. That's why romance novels that are, as far as I can tell, pretty much the exact same thing from book to book, sell so well. I get books for my sister's Kindle from the high seas, and I'm not joking, she's probably read over 500 shitty romance novels in the past decade. I used to open them up just to make sure the formatting was ok (back when people had to actually scan and OCR them), and just the first page or two of some of them were enough to make me barf.
Fuck it, I'mma find the one that will always be burned into my brain. This is literally the inside cover "synopsis" that is supposed to catch your eye and make you decide to buy the book. This series is currently on AT LEAST book 16!!! After this fucking start.
Let the barfs flow.

I was forced to go see the first movie with my ex at the time and her friends with all their teenage girls.
I had no idea what this was about. Never read the books etc. It wasn't on my radar.
During the movie when all the vampires are pretending to be children in high school and Cedric Diggory is all like I want this kid I yelled out in the middle of a Scottsdale movie theater "HE IS 114 YEARS OLD LUSTING AFTER A 16 YEAR OLD CHILD. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? HE IS A PEDOPHILE"
I have never heard an entire crowd of people just lose their collect shit and start booing like that.
Karen's actually had the manager kick me out.

Dude....
Joke aside, there are several dfferent takes on the myth of the vampire and I must say I prefer the "wet" vampires, like in Coppola's Dracula, that is greater than life with an unquenchable thirst for food, sex and violence. The hyper-living vampire. The opposite would be the "dry" vampires, like the ones in the PnP RPG Vampire (that are heavily influenced by the Anne Rice books I believe ?) that are almost disincarnate.

Eh, VtM isn't really anything like Anne Rice's world. WoD vampirism is literally a biblical curse and one of the central themes is the struggle to control your bestial side lest it consume you.
