So, you are a fan of Twilight? The books, the movies, the action figures, you eat it all up. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? You know, why am I reading a book about teenage vampires? Why am I waiting in line at midnight to see the premiere of a movie that received 2 stars across the board? Why am I marking on my calendar the date of the next movie installment in the series? If you answer, "because I am a 13 year old girl" then carry on, enjoy the ride, enjoy the read. BUT, if you are my unnamed friend, then please, think long and hard about the path your life is taking. I mean come on! A soap opera about vampires...really? Just go watch One Tree Hill instead. It has all the teenage angst and drama without the vampires. Oh and without the homosexual vibe. Actually scratch that...Don't watch that either. Yeah, vampires can be cool. Vampire movies can be pretty awesome. But not when the plot resembles "The Notebook". Go see "Let the Right One In", THAT is a great vampire movie.
So now I have insulted you. Don't be mad. This is merely one person's humble opinion. I know, I know. What are you going to do about the "Twilight" shirt you just bought at Target? Well yeah, that is a difficult decision. Assuming you are not 13 years old, you should probably stop wearing it. It isn't dark and edgy, it isn't relative pop culture, it is a giant "Hey, I would like for you to talk sh** about me behind my back" sign.
It is okay to enjoy the books and the movies. That is fine. But don't let yourself be sucked into believing you are part of a literary revolution, a witness to the dawn of the next great fantasy series.
Sorry for hating.
