twilight. yeah, i said it. MF'ing twilight was awesome. bella wasnt too snippy, she loved her parents, she was gracious. the cast was diverse without drawing attention to itself. there were a few things, of course, that bugged me. a) that drinking blood was essentially a metaphor for sex (i know that one is often used, but in this one it was a bit...heavy handed b) uh...vampire baseball game? c) what was up with that ballet studio? it didnt even make sense. oh, one other bugging thing--do you remember in "10 Things I Hate About You" when heath ledger (aww) says "what, does this chick have beer flavored nipples or something?" when everyone wants to date Cat? That's how i felt when everyone was meeting Bella in school. i get it, it's a small town and anyone new is interesting. but geez you guys. also, why do all the vampire clan where these little emblem wristbands. is it like vampire medic-alert? or like their little "vegetarian" rosary? every time they showed the vampire called jasper i laughed thinking about how the girl described him as always looking like he was in pain. he kind of looked like he needed to take some beano. and peter facinelli's hair was distracting.
i cant really grasp, though, in so many of these movies, especially the vampire or supernatural/superhero stories, where the line is between undeniable attraction and stalking? i mean, i guess it's kind of cute that bella is so naive that she doesnt even flinch when edward says he has been coming into her room for the past few months to watch her sleep. but no, not a good message to send to little girls. unless of course they're dating a vampire who is totally awesome. surprisingly i was okay with the vampires in sunlight thing. you know how the vampire myths sort of vary from region to region? the movie did a good job of setting them up as a pacific northwest race of vampires.
but the actor who played james was totally a cut-rate brendan sexton III.
oh lord, i am a total nerd.
