Vampire Baby.

Also, fucking vampires that just shine really bright when the sun hits them instead of setting on fire and dying horribly?

Honestly, part of the interesting thing about vampire mythology is the awesome power juxtaposed against the really awful negatives that being a vampire entails (awesome: Generally super strong and fast, can live forever [note; not necessarily a good thing] - Negative: sunlight kills, piece of wood through the heart kills you, mumbo jumbo water kills you, other vampires who are stronger can kill you, constant need for blood and so on).

But in Twilight there's seemingly no drawbacks. You can run around in daylight and seemingly do whatever you want. EDWARD EVEN GOES ON FUCKING HOLIDAY WITH BELLA FFS! I mean wtf?

Note I've never read the books and only watched the films because they were on TV. I am not a twilight hater or a twilight fan. But the films just come across as teenage angst mixed with vampires. Which is fine I guess because that's what the books are aimed at . But that's still not an excuse for shoddy story lines and plot devices, which I think the twilight films had in droves. Sitting there listening to placebo or Muse whilst kristen stewart and her grumpy fucking face looks out a window for 3 hours did nothing for me, unfortunately. And usually I wouldn't mind but that was (seemingly) the ENTIRE MOVIE (at least the first one) .
