Twilight Rage

Well the sequel to the Twilight movie was released today proving once again that the movie industries don't care about making movies of books that are actually good (and when they do the fuck it up aka. Eragon)

My god these books are my pet hate. There not actually that bad. the problem is people treat it like its the greatest literery acheivement since the Bible (another great storybook). Let me tell you something. When you write, particularly when you write in fist person (as whoever the hell wrote these terrible books does) a reasonably large peice of your person is translated into your m,ain character. The better the writer you are the more original traits their are in your character. Now I'm against thinking that Stephanie Meyer (thanks google) is a good writer. If she was the books would be better. Which means a fair amount of her character is reflected in Bella. Perhaps a psycologist sould go to her house to talk about her deep self-asteem issues. Seriously Bella is the epitome of usless damselsin distress. Not since Princess Peach has a character in mainstream media been so ... shit.

The Vampires may as well be called magic sparklefairies for all they resemble actual vampires. I mean I'm all for putting your mark on a loved theme but I worry about the next generation which will think vampires "sparkle in the sunlight". That's not only ignoring most of the vampire lore its actually polarising it. (insert rage noise here)

Also whats with making all the Werewolves amd Vampires good guys? I mean perhaps Bella could fall in love with a crazed phycotic? That would at least be interesting.

My final point is a little sinister. do we want the most recent generation of teenage girls growing up thinking that the idea of a healthy relationship is one in which the guy has all the power? one in which when he leaves the girl attempts to commit suicide? Just not healthy. Just not healthy at all

And to counteract the anger of that entire post. Next tommorow, how penguins will take over the world using a combination of spaghetti and Ann Rice quotes.
