I swear I'm not trying to shit on Twilight's parade, but... well, they just keep coming to me. For work reasons (honest injun) I had to look up some Twilight trivia, expecting some fun titbits of info and cool easter eggs. I was disappointed.

I have absolutely no problem with fanaticism of any kind: I love that people can feel so passionately over something as simple as a series of books, films, pop stars, stamps, or whatever. However, there comes a time with pop culture phenomenons like, where that fanaticism becomes so voracious, it consumes everything of interest but just keeps going, analysing every micron of information until anything even slightly associated with the franchise becomes 'relevant'. Birthdays. Haircuts. Cars.In short: while sifting through the IMDB trivia for The Twilight Saga, I found only a handful of points worth noting. The rest was shit like this: 'trivia' so trivial I had to spice it up with reaction gifs.You'd never guess Twilight was so dull from all those thrilling posters of the cast just standing around, emotionless, in front of clouds.
