Dakota Fanning Might Get To Frolic Through Robert Pattinson's Magical Forest Hair

Yes, I know that's an old picture of Robert Pattinson and that he's chopped down his magical forest since, but I'm going to pretend he didn't do that. It almost brings tears to my eyes to think of all the homeless unicorns out there. And my skin is allergic to tears, so it's best that I try not to cry.

So, Marc Malkin at E! says nearly 15-year-old Dakota Fanning is having conversations with the producers of the Twilight sequel about being in that mess. A source said they offered her the role of Jane described as " a member of Italy’s Volturi, the most deadly group of bloodsucking killers." A casting notice says Jane is a petite blonde with a “Botticelli angel-like face…[and] crimson irises.” So I guess Dakota will see undead people instead of dead ones? Wait. I'm confusing my child stars.

Since I basically know nothing about this Twilight shit, I asked my resident Twilight-aholic about this casting decision. The bitch bust nuts when he sees apples now, because it reminds him of Twilight. He screamed over IM (I had to cover my eyes), "YES!! YES! yes! O FUCK YES!" And then his next IM read: "But Morgan Fairchild would have been better." I haven't even read one word from a Twilight book and I couldn't agree more. Morgan Fairchild makes everything so much better.

And thanks to Kathy Griffin, every time I see Dakota Fanning, I picture her with a crack pipe.

I used to believe I was a romantic, then I realized I really liked porn.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HAHAHAHA!!!
Actually, I started collecting pornographic novels 1 week after arriving at college-Anais Nin,Henry Miller, and best of all,Victorian/Edwardian porn. It's dirtier. There is something to the idea that abstinence, or at least the image of abstinence, is erotic.
Ever read _Madame Bovary_? That blew the mind of everyone in French III, and I am quite that it hit us hard because all 12 of us in the class were virgins.
@Molotov Cocktease. thank you for the information. I love vampire stories, but I will NEVER buy or read
the Twilight series now that I know some of those royalties went to bankroll Prop.8.

Ugh Twilight. I don't get it and I was a massive fan of Anne Rice. Flicked through it whilst at a bookshop and had to put it down for fear of retching.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That's funny. Please allow me to recommend "The World On Blood."
The premise of that novel is that vampires drink blood to get high, not for eternal life, or out of neccessity.
It is HILARIOUS>

I see what you mean. I think people that enjoy romantic stories are the ones who genuinely enjoy the Twilight books. The writing style is too juvenile for my liking but I can see how people can get easily attracted to them. They are entertaining. Just like Harry Potter. I used to believe I was a romantic, then I realized I really liked porn.

I agree, the HP books are LOADS better than this. The writing is cleaner and much more gripping. However, the thing that twilight has (in my opinion) is the ability to take any woman back to the time of her first intense love. HP books can't do that, and I believe that's why so many women are attracted to these books.

Mykie7's picture

Jane is described as a "Harmless looking diminutive girl with the power to burn you from the inside with her stare."

Yeah, Dakota would be PERFECT in this role.

The notion of "the eroticism of abstinence" seems like a step backwards from the vampire novel's Victorian roots. I haven't read Twilight, but it sounds like the opposite--sexy on the surface and pure between the lines.

*********************************************************************

You are totally correct. The love of Edward and Bella is more about constraint and control than just teen lust. You hit the meaning of the books right on the head! : )

They get married before having sex. The love scenes are dreamy and ethereal with very little description, just Bella overwhelming love for Edward and becoming a "beautiful" vampire. (All the vamps are beautiful, only us poor humans are ugly). Edward is even upset that he's inflicted harm on her human body the first time but Bella feels nothing but all consuming love. ~ugh~

It would fit into the "virtuous erotica" frame very well...

Harry Potter books are better than this shit. They are no Tolkien but you can bet your ass that they are beautifully written, unlike this Mormon pamphlet. The only good thing that ever came from the whole Twilight phenomenon was Robert Pattinson. Wait, what? Oh right, he was in Harry Potter first. My bad. Then I stand corrected, there is NOTHING good about Twilight.

to each his own. the books are fantasy and an escape...which is what a good book should be able to do...dakota will make a decent jane...whatevers. it's all about team edward. and the person who posted that they layed on a bed and kissed and that's how bella ended up preg DID NOT read the books. i read all 4 books in a week. i could not put them down. i was super ghetto thoguh...i would buy each book at target and then return it when i was done. don't judge! all 4 books would have come out to like $80.00 + (hardcovers).
yeah bitches!

Two thumbs up for me. Dakota Fanning is a good actress IMO. Anyway, Edward won't get down and magical with Jane. They'll just have ridiculous stare downs with vampire goth makeup.

Mmmmm, Robert is soooo fine....

I've only read the first two books of the series, and based on that, and the fact that I'm sick to death of Dakota Fanning, I'm also going to say that Morgan Fairchild would have been better. Besides, vampires don't age, and neither does Morgan Fairchild, right?

The idea of the story is a good one but once she introduced the triangle with Jacob, holy moron vomit. Bella's belly aching between these two was annoying and not something I'd want any daughter of mine to emulate. Shit, make up your mind and stick to it, bitch! And stop leading the one you don't pick on. Grrr! Not to mention the girl is a total victim and has to be continually saved by the guy. What a lovely message. *rolls eyes*

I was just guessing because the movie trailers kind of tricked you into thinking it was sexy.

Where are we going as a society when Twilight and Rock of Love Bus both exist? Why does it have to be one extreme or another? I'm glad I'm not a preteen because there are some serious mixed messages going on.

I try to avoid shitty teen books like that because they always wind up making me angry at how they talk down to youth like they're stupid, but I can't hate on this series for some reason. The movies are another story - HATE THEM!

bitchette - Stephanie Meyers is a strictly religious Mormon, and wanted to write a book about the "eroticism of abstinence."

That's interesting because what made Dracula sexy was the strain of Victorian suppression. All of the sex was symbolic, but the eroticism is there if you looked between the lines. Most of the movie adaptations don't get this and they just make the sex explicit.

The notion of "the eroticism of abstinence" seems like a step backwards from the vampire novel's Victorian roots. I haven't read Twilight, but it sounds like the opposite--sexy on the surface and pure between the lines.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Didn't read any of the articles, just did a quick overview of the listed links.

Comment:

From what I know based on a few of my son's friends who are Mormon, they are not allowed to watch anything that is horror or suggestive of anything occult (It's always difficult for my son to pick out movies or video games here because they all contain blood, guts, gore and gratuitous violence). The perception is that it is an invitation to the devil.

I love reading, but somehow these books haven't attracted my attention. I don't know if the reviews are a bit harsh, but most have said those are written poorly. Worthy of a teen drama queen. I have no problem with love stories if they are good but if I want an overdose of sugary love, I'll read Barbara Cartland instead. And those are super cheesy, man.

Dakota is a good actress so maybe she'll be able to lift that Twilight mess a little bit.
