Vampires Suck

Once again, vampires are the rage. I don't understand the fascination with the blood thirsty monsters. Every recurrence has a different twist. I wasn't much interested in finding out what the latest vampires were, but because of several people around me, I thought I ought to have some idea what 'Twilight” was all about.
So I've seen all three movies, which turned out to be inane. They are another version of Pinocchio. Not real boys and girls, but trying to be good even though it goes against their nature. There also were werewolves who were good, but had unmanagable tempers. I like them better than vampires which, according to current vernacular, puts me on Team Jacob.
What did alarm and annoy me was the human character, Bella. I can't call her a heroine because all she did was mope and attract monsters. She could have chosen a normal boyfriend, but no, she had to fall in love with icy vampire and hot blooded werewolf. She is my definition of LOSER (always with capital letters) because she was so self-destructive.
I was relieved at the movie's bland ending. I was afraid it was going to end with the vampire re-gaining his soul because he married a human. How many lives have been ruined because someone thought they could redeem a monster? But that was what didn't happen. Instead Bella turned away from ever-faithful werewolf and chose to never-ending death by marrying the vampire.
On the other hand, ever-faithful Jacob smelled like wet dog.
I don't get the appeal of this story, at least not as portrayed in the movies. The heroine was so passive. Her idea of a good time was to tempt blood suckers with her warm throat.
So that's what I have to say about vampires for now. I miss the Slayer days when Buffy kicked butt.
