>>>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.

>>>Could be a real teaching moment if you had an adolescent daughter.

>>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.

>But the point is the girl is Twilight is a loser obsessed with a dweeb. Buffy is a strong, funny, fearless heroine and the vamps (Angel and Spike) are men worthy of her attention and interesting people - not brooding little emo boys. If I had a daughter who thought Buffy was cool I'd be pleased. If she identified with Bella I'd be very concerned.

You seem to know a lot about Twilight. Should we be concerned?
