I found
an interesting article on
Twilight and the whole new genre of vampire wish-fulfillment novels. In some ways it reminds of the many posts I wrote on the Romantic movement and their impact on modern culture, especially our worship of the most shallow aspects of youth.
After reading the article, you may find the following posts interesting:
Frightened for our Future
The Adoration of Youth
I Blame the Romantics
Revisiting an Old Topic
The Sky Is Falling! Again! Really! We Mean It This Time!
Tired and Annoying Theme
IMDB Makes My Case
A Thought On the Watchmen
Graphic Novels, Comic Books and Cultural Barometers
I know I have left off some, but hopefully the links in those listed will lead to any posts I forgot.
