This is a long one, you'd better get the coffee going.
Am I seriously the only person in the world that does not like the Twilight books/movies? Seriously?
Everywhere I turn, it's Twilight this, Twilight that... and I just need to know - what is the with the teenage girls who obsess over Bella Swan, and want to be just like her? I mean, what are you thinking?!?! The book, which is directed at teens (particularly teenage girls) is seriously setting an unhealthy example: Would you want your daughter/best friend/little sister/whatever looking up to an emotional unstable teen who wants to give up her life to be with her stupid vampire lover, who's not even that great? Whatever happened to the feminists of Jane Austen's time? Apparently, femminisim is overrated. Apparently, the world wants to read about stupid little girls who don't know shit.
And now to move on to the quite pitiful writing spewed out of Stephanie Meyer. IT'S TERRIBLE! I mean c'mon, when I was in grade 4 I wrote better than that, and she graduated with a degree in literature. And yet, the worst part, is that she sells millions and is proclaimed one of the greatest literary authors of all time. Really, she's not. I really do not care about how Bella Swan heated up left overs from the night before, and I really do not care about the miniscule happenings of her daily life. I want characters with major conflicting flaws! Bella's biggest problem is how she's going to break the news to her dad about how the love of her life is a vamp - which, (and I know it's JUST a book) is entirely unrealistic. Granted, Meyer managed to portray the everyday goings ons in a regular teenage girls life, but that still doesn't make it worth the read.
This book/movie does NOT, I repeat, does NOT deserve the hype or acclaim it's getting. I mean really.
The scariest part about this is the fangirls who were actually screaming and freaking out in the lineups for the movie, and practically swooning over Edward Cullen (who, by the way, was also in Harry Potter, a better book/movie combo, but he didn't get the swooning and obsessing in that movie, now did he?) and crying when the film was over. I mean, that's so great that you're really into something, but does it have to be something as superficial and flaky as this?
But the point I was trying to make but carried off on a tangent instead was: If you say one thing against precious Twilight they will leap upon you and devour your sex organs. Not all of them, I'll say, but anyone under 17, or anyone who still has the brain of a 12 year old.
So now I'm way to tired to continue on, but all I have to say is be careful who you diss Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, any of the Cullen's, movie Cullens, Stephanie Meyer etc in front of, because it may be your last words!
