Regarding Jaspo: I may laugh forever. Thank you.

Also, the movie reminded me how much of an ASSHOLE Edward is for leaving her in the woods. I mean, damn. He knows that she's going to be devastated, but he doesn't even have the decency to take her home. What kind of guy leaves a distraught girl alone in a place where she could be attacked by wild animals or forest-dwelling crazies, let alone vampires and shit? Think of Charlie, too. I can hardly imagine what those God-knows-how-many hours must've been like. For all he knew, his only daughter was dead or lost forever. It'd have only taken Edward a second, too. Inconsiderate bastard.

Also, I can't be the only one who thought that the other characters in the movie (mainly Charlie and Jacob) suspected that Edward had done something much worse to Bella. I wouldn't blame them, either.

Lastly, Eric IS awesome.

Jaspo is even worse when he's having a tantrum. I had to update the comparision with a better pic--check it out. I mean...it's totally Jaspo. :D

Well, Wardo is ALWAYS an asshole. It's his natural state. Don't ask him to change now. ;) And I comforted myself with the knowledge that Meyer mostly did that to try and SHOW how devastated precious Bella was, when in reality, she SHOWED what you pointed out--that Wardo's a dick.

He kind of has done a lot worse to Bella, actually. I mean, he punched her. You saw it, I saw it.

HE IS. *LOVES ERIC*

I meant in the woods, specifically. God knows that Edward is always doing inexcusable shit to Bella. I don't know why I'm surpised, really. It's just that he's always like "I AM HERE TO PROTECT YOU, BELLA" to the point of psychosis and then he just fucks off so she can eaten by a puma or whatever? Weak.

Oh, I hear all that. Everything about that was contradictory--I wrote a whole essay on it, actually.

No, you weren't, and that was in the book, too. Seeing as how I picked up on it, and I'm usually the one who starts getting aggravated when everyone reads that sort of thing into Ariana Dumbledore's backstory, I bet a lot of people picked up on that...

It's good to know that it's not just me. I didn't read that into the Ariana Dumbledore story, mainly because that's not the first thing that I expect from prepubescent boys, but I am a bit quick to suspect it after I seriously misinterpreted the end of "Where the Boys Are". I thought that the moral was "if you have premarital sex, you will be hit by a car" when it was really "if you agree to have premarital sex with one man, you will be gang-raped and then be so distraught that you will wander into traffic, where you will be hit by a car". It's a very disturbing movie, really.

I completely agree! But HP fandom's a bit... strange at times.

*blinks* ....Wow. That sounds like a RIDICULOUSLY disturbing movie. WTF?!

carey_pontmercy December 1 2009, 07:06:52 UTC

Oh, let me explain the WTF-ery that is "Where the Boys Are", an ostensibly light-hearted movie made in 1960, which was clearly A Different Time. It follows four college girls who go to Fort Lauderdale for spring break. One is forced to endure the company of an insufferable "jazz" musician with no social graces because nobody else finds her attractive because she plays field hockey. (I don't know if this is euphemism for something more interesting or not.) Another expresses a desire to be "a walking, talking baby machine" and attaches herself to a stereotypical Nice Guy who obviously hates all women and cheats on her with a squeaky-voiced burlesque dancer. Yet another agrees to meet her boyfriend in a hotel for sex and gets gang-raped by a bunch of his buddies. (Mind you, there was no indication that he was bad news before this happened, so she's definitely being punished for agreeing to sex.) The heroine is the only one who doesn't get completely screwed over and even her love interest struck me as really sleazy. The movie sort of ( ... )

I just assumed that the boys beat and psychologically tormented her. I mean, she was about six, wasn't she? If a bunch of kids randomly burst into a girl that young's yard, demanded to know how she was doing something she couldn't control, and then began calling her a freak and hitting her, I'd imagine she'd try to never use magic again.
