The Twilight Effects

Why do women enjoy reading/watching stories about forbidden (stupid and no sense making) love?? I mean, I would really be the first in line if Hollywood decided to make a movie about a woman who's deeply in love with a public rubbish bin, that's just as romantic isn't it?

If there's something I've learnt from this "very-selling” movie named "Twilight", it's how stupid girls are, and vampires do not go out in the sun because they actually "sparkle", as in twinkle-twinkle-little-stars-how-I-wonder-what-you-are.

... also, a vampire has problem smelling you, if you put your hair down and cover yourself properly.

WTF??

I know, I once said I would not watch this movie but thanks to my dumb sis, I sat myself down and watched it.

I really want to see how stupid it is, believe me, it's the only reason.

In my very humble opinion, it's just like High School Musical and Barney and Friends or even Teletubbies, minus the music plus the horror.

Horror, as in how Barney would look applying heavy make-up.

So it did not disappoint me much, as it seemed. I already expected it to be very stupid.

It has a 6.0 rating on IMDb. Usually a movie around 6 is watchable, more than 6.5 is quite good, more than 7 is a amazing and more than 8? Breathtaking.

Any rating below 5, is rather stupid and you're advised not to waste your time.

But it's difficult to say, a movie like "Spiceworld" might get a high rating of 6.5 because the group who watched and rated it are aged between 4-15 while a great movie like "The Life of David Gale" could get a 6.5 too because the audience are more mature.

My point? It has quite a good rating probably because lots of teenage girls rated it.

So ok, the vampires in it flew like those ancient Chinese kung-fu fighters, their baseballs flew quicker than the speed of light, they climbed trees better than monkeys and they travelled faster than rockets.

More importantly, they are vegetarians.

Like tigers, but vegetarian.

There was also this vampire named Edward who outstands everyone...

I don't get it, what is with Robert Pattinson??

He looked like a drug addict with a huge touch of gayness who had not been cutting his hair since the 50s. With his purposely applied serious, strange, gay-vampire look, really, hot? What is wrong with those teenage girls?

My sister is one of them, she's 18 and she said "ooh, he's so handsome..."

Girls around me when I was 14 said the same thing about Prince William. Not me, I knew he would go bald 10 years later.

... and my sister told me, Robbie urged Kristen to make a choice between him and her current boyfriend, ya huh, very romantic, I guess.

... and she said it in this dreamy tone, "oh, he's soooooo man."

... and watched the disgusted look on my face while saying, "what, you don't think so?"

Forgive me but something's definitely very wrong with teenage girls these days. They think boys who "manly force" you to do something is very strong and sexy.

Like this, you pretended like you don't want them to kiss you, then they kissed you, then you rejected, then they still kiss you, then you pushed them away, then they pushed you to the wall, then you turned your face away, then again they tried to kiss you, then you finally surrender and engaged in the long-awaited kiss...

Very sexy and romantic.

Chauvinists and boys who have no respects for women? Their favourite, apparently.

The director, a female, apparently no Sofia Coppola, was congratulated for her "achievement".

What achievement?? This movie wouldn't even sell if Paris Hilton played Bella Swan and Perez Hilton played Edward Cullen.

... and how women, even women older than me, holding this whole set of gay literature, queuing up, spending hundreds of money buying them!!

Unbelievable, is it just me or they're really that dumb?

Look, people, if you really want to read about vampire, if you really must, go with Anne Rice at least. In my opinion, she's so much more original than that Meyer homemaker.

Anyway, if you tend to judge, remember this: a vampire has the right to be in love with a human, just like a human has the right to be in love with a computer cable.
