Twilight
Oh lord. I saw it. Kristen Stewart was dreadful. Her monotonous droning throughout the entire movie almost put me to sleep. Robert Pattinson did a pretty mediocre American accent, slipping in and out of it during the film. The film was almost completely devoid of plot and the sexual tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. There was minimal vampire action, no cool fangs. The lines were so fluffy and lame, with gems like "You are my life, now" and "I was unconditionally in love with him", a few of my faves from the book. The special effects were very bad and lame. And yet, I found myself really, really enjoying the movie.
Oh yes, I did just say I liked Twilight. I'm not too surprised, it was pretty much what I expected, faithful to the book. The book fascinates me, something I'm beginning to admit. That POS is one of the most popular series around, with people swearing by these lame-ass pseudo romantic characters, and I'm not too sure I get why. I suppose I enjoyed both the movie, and on some level the book, as a "so bad it's good". That is definitely true with the movie, I'm trying to suppress that with the book, because I do NOT need to read three more of those, with varying degrees of LAME and WTF and F*** YOU MEYER.
I did have two very disturbing revelations during the movie, though. One: I understand the whole Edward not munching on Bella is romantic thing. It's the restraint he has to display to be with this girl he can't stay away from. I get it, now. Still think it's a little creepy how he has this overwhelming desire to kill her and she's totally OK with that. But if R. Patts came to me, told me he couldn't stay away, and shared the small caveat that he wanted to kill me, I think I could make it work. Perhaps I'd have more of a sense of humor about the matter than Bella, who was just so bland, in the movie and in the book. I hope people don't think it's OK to be that devoid of personality.
Two: I think... Very big emphasis on the THINK... I may kind of feel a little bit of the Jacob/Bella ness. In the sense that, in the movie, when he showed up to Bella at the prom, I let out an "aww", then quickly covered my mouth. UGH, I cannot believe that happened. At all. I'm almost afraid to read the books for the reason that I might be Jacob/Bella. I know someone who would relish in the fact that I came over to her side, and I cannot grant her that satisfaction. To be fair, I didn't get the J/B vibe from the books, probably because he was described as a bit younger than Bella and it was more of a little-kid crush. The movie he was about her age and it would be totally reasonable for him and her to date. So maybe that might be it.
I'm going to have to reevaluate my entire life and belief system thanks to Twilight. How could I let this happen to me? This will not end well.
PS: Sparkling vampire still suck, book and movie.
