Twilight Saga..Series...Whatever ((little spoiling...so much is already in the general lexicon))
You know how when you watch a film that ends with a cliffhanger and you know there will be another movie?? So now you gotta see what happens, whether you truly want to know or not?? That is sort of how Y. and I are with The Tween-light...I mean, Twilight movies.
WE DID. EVERY ONE. From beginning to end. Not at one sitting, but we saw them all. And I am keeping this short for three reasons. A) I am in a lot of physical pain, B) I want to give you all the floor, and C) I don't have much to say that hasn't been said a hundred times before about this series. But as I said with "Harry Potter", as long as kids are reading SOMETHING, I am all about it. Unfortunately, some just watch the films over and over and over again.
First we had the love triangle (and if a gun was pointed at my head, yes, I was 'Team Edward'. Besides, Jacob only looked good in the first, when he had that long, black hair. THAT'S when I thought 'Yum!'. After that, fuck Jacob....no, don't fuck him, that will teach him!!)
One thing that bothered me about this final installment was that the more beautiful as she ages and talented beyond belief, Dakota Fanning, aged a few years in between her appearances. Were -I- the director, I would have foreseen this typical teenage issue and done all her scenes at once, especially since she wasn't in too many. Just enough that you think 'Wait a good damn minute... Vampires don't age!!'
The only thing that bothered me more was the name they gave the child. That's all I'll say about that. (Y. and I came up with about 4 great and beautiful ways to combine those two names without it sounding like a bloody joke!!)
Well, guys, like I said, I am leaving this short to give you the floor and because those that know me on a more personal basis know I have back problems that cause me great pain at times, too much to give you a proper review right now.
HOWEVER, nothing could hurt me so much that would cause me to leave out the BEAUTIFUL Ashley Green. OMG, Her character, Her look, Her voice..as Xim says when he sees a bombshell "I bet she smells like peaches..." LOL
YUM.
Anyway, in my humble opinion, if you wanna see a good Kristen Stewart/ Dakota Fanning picture, try "The Runaways" which I reviewed here (with a few others).

The floor belongs to you now, Kittens and Toms.... Feel free to skewer me if need be.. This is a democracy. =)
