The Travesty that is Twilight
Well this weekend I finally gave in and went to see Twilight. In my defense it was in the dollar theater and Chris said he promised he would keep his mouth shut and not make any comments. Well about a fourth of the way through the movie I turned to Chris and said "I am so proud of you for not making any comments. I know this has been a serious trial for you. I now give you permission to comment away, because this is the crappiest movie I have ever seen." It was horrible. I can't believe that the author a proved of this film. She must have been hard up for some serious cash. The acting was horrid. The cinematography was even worse and Edward oh my gosh did they seriously have to show so many profile pictures of him...ugh. They couldn't even remember to shave his chest. Does the phrase "smooth like marble" not mean what I think it does. On top of that Bella was so annoying. Her lack of vocabulary. The hospital scene reminded me of some Rascal Flats obsessed fan who has just been asked to throw away all her posters. Oh and don't get me started on Carlisle. Does he seriously not have the money to get those teeth fixed. Could anyone else tell that Jacob was wearing a horrible wig. I Couldn't help but join in with the audience as they laughed at the whole movie. I guess I should be grateful that this proves one thing. I am not attracted to seventeen year old prepubescent boys. One thing it did was actually make me want to reread the books. If you have not seen the movie yet but loved the books, I beg you don't ruin your enjoyment of the book series by exposing your imagination to this travesty. It saddens me that Hollywood would put out such a disgrace in order to make a buck off of these fans. But who's fault is it really,the greedy movie producers or us pathetic fans who would pay to see this movie. Maybe the movie producers are actually onto something. I know I would take the money. We as Americans need to make a stand. The crappy movies have got to stop. Boycott your movie theatres everywhere. Show them we are not going to stand for crappy acting, disastrous cinematography, and laughable dialogue. We refuse to watch movies about Sean Penn making out with another man. Really is that Oscar worthy. Cause I could snog a woman for a million dollars too. For the love of everything this country was built upon. We deserve better. After all we are bloody fricken America. We have a Black President.

You're so funny! I reread the books after I saw the movie twice and I realized that it was totally different than the books and I couldn't help but think why they didn't keep things the same, it still would have worked. Oh and the chick who plays Bella was HORRIBLE! The only reason she got the job was because she happened to be best friends with the director. Lame. I hope they do better on the second one now that they have the budget for it...I'm not getting my hopes up though.
Sara, I completely agree with you. And I think the most unfortunate thing in the whole world is that there are 3 more books that they'll feel obligated to turn into movies!! Maybe (like Harry Potter) they'll get it right for the third book or so. Bu while we wait, watch this: http://www.starz.com/promotions/bunnies/Pages/Bunnies.aspx
Thanks Lisa, I agree. I will say that Bella fit the physical description but she was absolutely terrible. and just so you know they had plenty of budget for that movie. They just didn't care and wanted to get it out there as fast as possible. The only way I will watch a second movie is if someone holds me hostage and tapes my eyes open.
Haha!! Thanks so much for sharing Sara. I feel so much better now (I felt like a loser cause everyone else wanted to see the movie but me). I'm glad I didn't bend over peer pressure.
ha ha! i just knew it was going to be bad ! i thought i would probably get it out at some point just to say i saw it but you have cemented it for me i will stay away!!!
Glad I could help. Just taking one for the team. And by the way that last comment was from me not Chris.
LOL! Y'all are ALL morons for reading books about vampires and teenage girls with raging hormones! Ha ha! Just Kidding about the "morons" part ... but seriously, I wouldn't be caught dead reading those books! Hahahahaaaaaaaa!!! (Evil laugh.)
That's okay you keep reading your books about living off Iodine cause we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, and I will read books that some weirdo isn't claiming will actually happen.
How Funny! You sure feel strongly about it...the acting was pretty bad and I wish that Bella didnt have a small seizure everytime she wanted to say a sentence...but I have to admit I'm a sucker for it and will probably buy it. You have to keep a light heart when it comes to vampire romances I guess! Thanks for the laugh!
Yeah sometimes I get a little too dramatic about things. I love the seizures.
