>I LOVE IT ! As I've mentioned before I think Buffy is great art. Saw Twilight on DVD to see what the fuss was about. All I could think of was it was the kind of thing a 13 year old girl would be embarassed about 5 years later. The creepy emovamp looked like the kind of guy Spike or Angel would have beat up to take his lunch money. All I could think of was how Buffy would have laughed at this guy - and then staked him.

>Nothing wrong with fiction that targets niche markets, but that stuff only holds up if now juxtaposed with art - that trancends genre and generation. And up a against Twilight - Buffy kills.

Teenage girls seem to be the primary market for the Twilight series.
I don't think they look at it in terms of who can kick whose butt.
