well here is the problem
It was funny in all parts regarding the ridiculousness of the plot itself, and how things were portrayed in the movie, but your problems with the "most basic, common-knowledge traits of vampires" doesn't really make sense. vampires being completely made up creatures to begin with can not actually have "common-knowledge" traits, because technically vampires can possess any trait that the person writing about them wants. you based "common-knowledge" traits on what you perceived as fact, when in fact there are no facts to base your claims. what has been written about vampires has simply become a socially accepted image of what that specific creature HAS to be, and yet in every fictional novel portraying the creature there are still vast amounts of differences and abilities among the different characterizations. meyers took a hackneyed fictional creature and gave them her own traits, it is simply creative writing. so, in conclusion, any part in your flash about the ignorance of "basic, common-knowledge traits of vampires" is utterly useless, and i found myself cringing every time you made a reference to it. The argument about the mirrors and how they aren't supposed to have reflections is completely undone by your argument saying that there is no reason to have shiny skin, when in all logic there is no reason not to have a reflection. also your whole segment on what vampires eat didn't make sense either in the fact that you based that entire scene on your conception of vampires only drinking human blood. again its just what the author wanted to happen. i wish you would have based this more on one, the terrible acting, two, how everything in the movie is overly convenient and cliche like the stereotypical characterization of every teenager in that movie and how they never fall out of that category. there were so many things to pick on that you missed.
