Twilight!

The only thing really missing from Harry Potter was a good lesson in tactical consideration. He failed hard in that area every-single-step of the way.

But what pisses me off more than the stupid story, bad characters and flawed rational of Twilight is that so many people revere it more than the real awesomely cool people we have in real life.

Do people really have to rocket off into some fantastical(ly stupid) world before they can appreciate anything?

Honestly, I blame Harry Potter. It was a well-written story of friendship and sacrifice in a fantastical world. And then it took off in popularity like a rocket, and publishers needed something that they thought was in the same vein of Harry Potter. Twilight seemed to qualify. After all, it was in a fantastical world, wasn't it? They just forgot the well-written, the meaningful sacrifice, and friendship. Instead they inserted blank characters for tweens to project themselves on to, meaningless subsuming of self to the detriment of all for a relationship, and superficial similarities supposedly creating deep bonds.

And to top it all off, it's a story of *massive* ephebophilia. After all, Edward's over 100 years old, and Bella wasn't even 18. That's just sick.

First off, you should be embarrassed of your nephew. I saw the first one just because the girl I liked asked me to and I thought it'd help my chances with her and I STILL caught shit for it.

Second, I like how people try to say that Twilight teaches good morals when the book itself reeks of sexism against women and such.

Words can no longer describe how much I hate this pitiful excuse for a 'saga' and the way we are constantly being forced to deep throat the damn thing. I'm tired of seeing ads for it on 90% of websites I visit, even when they have nothing to do with books or film. I'm tired of seeing huge displays of Twishit all over various departments of stores. I'm tired of seeing Kristen Stewart's vapid expression plastered all over, same with shots of Pattinson that looks like he's just rolled out of a trash can after shooting up. Or Taylor's creepy pedo-wolf stare peeking around every corner.


And I'm mostly embarrassed that my nephew, 17, is going to see New Moon on Friday because he's just DYING to see it and he's a stupid enough fuck to go alone even after finding out his friend and friend's sister won't be able to go as well. At least if they went, it'd look like the sister dragged them to it. I'd like to clock him nice and hard with a clue-by-four for telling me "It takes a real man to admit he likes Twilight" when I told him he should check his manhood in at the theater door.

I'm pissed off at his friends' idiot mother who let her daughter read this shit because it has "Such a wonderful abstinence message and it's clean, wholesome reading" because if she hadn't, the stupid prude wouldn't have gotten her brother and, in turn, my nephew, turned on to this tripe.

Stephenie Meyer, go play in traffic.
