If I see one more ad for 'Twilight', I might hurt someone.
To be fair, I've never read the books. I have no intention of doing so. I read the summaries on Wikipedia, just to save myself a few bucks. It sounds...how best to put it? Dumb?
Yeah, that covers it. I don't know why it annoys me so much--why should I care, really?
Well, it IS the reason that the release of the next Harry Potter movie was delayed till fucking July 2009. That alone makes me want to pray severe groin rashes on it.
Ok, perhaps because I'm PMSing in a big, bad way and need something to take it out on. That works too.
Granted, it's all about preference. I, for example, like my vampires with tons of swords and ass-kicking, like in "Underworld". Or with dry, razor sharp wit, like in "Buffy". Teen angst makes me want to reach for the garlic and stakes.
Pat says he'd be the worst vampire hunter. He'd take the garlic and sautee it on the stake, then eat it. Though this could be a potentially deadly weapon--I've been around him when he's had a lot of garlic. The digestive pyrotechnics that ensue could easily wipe out most of Transyvania.
