Ooooh Sparkles!
So… Eclipse is still showing in Bangalore and I know its kind of late to jump on the I Hate Twilight bandwagon, but I just don’t get it.
Now don’t start on at me that “the books are just brilliant”, and “the movies are sooo dreamy” and “oh. my. god! Robert Pattinson is like the hottest thing ever!” coz please.
What’s so hot about Robert Pattinson? The boy perpetually looks like he needs a bath. Taylor Lautner’s much better looking, but I feel creepy even just typing that, because, well, he’s a baby!
Also, on the subject of Edward (and yes, I do realise I’m probably going to get hate mail for this). I hate to break it to you twinkies, but he’s just not sexy.
Yes, I HAVE read the books, and “icy, perfect lips”; not something I would be into having pressed to my cheek thanks. And can I just mention, cold marble is no fun to lean against when you already live in “the rainiest place in the world”.
Really.
Maybe its just that I prefer my Vamps a little less wimpy and a bit more twisted. I always did like Spike more than Angel.
Oh, while we’re on the subject of twisted, doesn’t anybody else find some of the undercurrent in the books a bit disturbing?
Maybe Stephenie Meyer didn’t mean them to be read by 12 year olds, but that does seem to be the average age of the girls who are totally in love with these books; the movies are rated PG13… and yet, there’s the entire creepy menage thing going on! Other than that, I really don’t like the idea of all those little girls out there using Bella as a role model.
She’s always depressed (in fact, she seems to be making Chronic Depression cool! which just make me uncomfortable), she has suicidal tendencies (which she disguises as Adrenalin Junky-ness), and she isn’t in the least bothered by the fact that her boyfriend is a total creepy stalker perv! The watching her sleep thing every night? So. Not. Cool!
Any Buffy fans out there (which I totally admit to being) would know that when Angel goes all bad and turns into Angelus he does pretty much the same thing. And the whole point of that was that it was such a totally creepy thing to do! No one thought it was in the least bit romantic. Which I can’t help but point out, is sane! It is NOT romantic to have someone stare at you while you sleep!
Ugh! I think I need to stop with this topic. Writing about it is wigging me out, and I need to get to bed since I have a 10am meeting tomorrow.
So let me leave you with this since I pretty much agree with his opinion, even if he does have the cracked (see chauvinistic) idea that all women think the same way and like the same things.
