Yesterday's release of Twilight made certain that your weekend will be filled with the sound of screaming tweeny fangirl hordes, an auditory experience that the movie's lead actor Robert Pattinson described as "terrifying ... like the sound you hear at the gates of hell." It would be easy to hate these creepy, utterly mediocre books and the phenomenon they've spawned — but I think you'll find it's even easier just to throw your head back and laugh. Next to the fangirl hordes are even bigger crowds of "lolfans," and they are here to remind us that Twilight has truly given us the greatest gift of all: oodles and oodles of hilarious, sardonic ass-kickery from people on the internet.

How successful does Twilight look like it's going to be? Try "Very."

When will mainstream media stop claiming there's a "positive" message in the Twilight books that inspired the eponymous teen-bait movie? The Twilight book series is many things, but empowering it is not. The more you examine author Stephenie Meyer's themes, the more obvious it becomes that her books are a thinly-veiled religious screed against teen sex. Spoilers for the Twilight series after the jump. More »

Even though all the adorable sour-pussed faces from the new vampire movie Twilight have been signed up for the sequel, New Moon, the movie's lead, Kristen Stewart, has not read the second book of the series by Stephenie Meyer. "I couldn't wrap my head around all four huge stories at once," she told Sci Fi Wire. "It was too informative. [Bella] wasn't supposed to know those things, so I didn't want to know them." We just hate it when things are informative. [Sci Fi Wire] More »

Last we heard from scifi/horror writer Stephenie Meyer, author of The Host, she was on Bummer Watch after a partial draft of Midnight Sun leaked, and the author subsequently put the Twilight companion on “indefinite hold.” Amid her doldrums, she’s been working on a melancholy music video for the Southern California rock/emo band Jack’s Mannequin. Who? Why? It seems Meyer—who’s never directed before—gave the band a shout-out or two on her site. And Jack's Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon told us the whole story. More »
