So, I'm Not a Twilighter

However, way back in the day, when Twilight first made it out on the scene, I got dragged into watching the films because my closest friends were Twilighters. Not Twi-hards, thank the gods, but Twilighters to a mid-level of craziness extent. And ever since, I've watched each film that comes out. Luckily, they do get better from the beginning. The first one, is complete and absolute crap;. It looks cheap and poorly done. I hate the books, btw, so if you're a big Twilight fan, run far away from me, I won't say many good things. Now I don't hate Twilight, mind you. I think the author is just terrible. The writing stinks. The two main characters are so annoying that the whole time you're reading OR watching, you kind of want them to just up and die. BUT, the side characters are actually more than decent. They're fun and entertaining and interesting. And they're the reason to watch the movies. Because it'll make you laugh and you enjoy everyone outside of Bella and Edward, a.k.a. Ms. Apathetic Addict and Sir Misplaced Knight Complex. My extreme dislike for Bella and Edward was potent and vicious up until the most recent film, in which I gained mild respect for Bella's character when she becomes a new mom, determined to keep her blood sucking offspring. Edward, still hate him. But, all this hate goin' round is probably why in the most recent film, the best so far, we kind of get this sick satisfaction and pleasure out of watching Edward essentially rip Bella open. It's pretty graphic and gross. But Bella finally dies. Doesn't stay dead. But dies. And I think most of us enjoyed watching it happen. The rest of us, may not have been "oh yay, the wicked witch is dead" but everyone is happy for her to finally be a freakin vampire. Because we were all hoping it'd make her less annoying. P.S. Stephanie Meyer, you treated Jacob like crap throughout your damned series.....and THEN you saddled him with an infant bride. It was SO creepy watching him fall in love instantly....with a baby. That was just weird as all Hell to watch. And it looked like it was weird as all Hell for him too. It was pretty damn funny watching Bella try desperately to get into Edward's pants. She clearly likes it rough. And as always, Bella's dad is seriously funny. Poor guy, sending his barely legal daughter off to get laid on a private island. For a side character, he is a favorite for many. But Twilight is all about side characters. Because it's just hard to tolerate the two main ones. Edward....stop choosing chess over sex. There really isn't a comparison. Well, for now that concludes my ramble on Twilight's latest. Dear Twihards who may stumble onto my post....don't bitch at me. I don't care if you like Bella or Twilight "changed your life", that's fine with me. Opinions can be different. Spice of life and all that. Diversity is good. Yada, yada, peace and all that jazz.
