The Twilight Saga

    
     With the new Twilight movie coming out many of you have been asking me to sound off my thoughts on the book and movie series. I have some sad news, though, I vow right here before you all to never dedicate one word to this series, much less an entire post. I have never read the book as I don't really have much faith in reading but I have had the displeasure of seeing the first film as well as the second, and as a student of theatre I can tell you it made me physically ill. Therefore I cannot, in good conscious, dedicate my life's work (this blog) to glorifying that filth. It was so bad that I cannot even bring myself to write about how bad it was. From undeveloped characters, to weak storyline, to blatant male sex appeal at it's worst this movie embodies everything that has come to represent distasteful film. Not to mention the undeniably close tie the film series has with the television network MTV (which is another subject for another day entirely). Anyway, that being said I can guarantee you will never see Twilight mentioned on this blog, not even to to be cast in a bad light. After all you don't need me to go on and on and on and on and on and on about how bad the film series is to know bad it is.
     I don't understand how so many women think that Edward is attractive on any level, speaking of not talking about Twilight. He is looks sickly with his lankiness, downcast face, and extremely pale skin, plus he is very rude to Bella when they first meet. Where is the attraction there? This love story is a tribute to the many women who have a problem with inferiority complexes and therefore date abusive men or prison inmates, and the fact that this series glorifies such a lifestyle is appalling. I don't understand the appeal of Bella, for that matter. She appears to be addicted to drugs throughout the movie, in my opinion.
     Anyway, I must apologize to you, the audience, because although I strive to give you all what you ask for I simply cannot meet this demand. I will not compromise my feelings about this film or my integrity by blogging about it. You will never see mention of Twilight, Edward, Jacob, Bella, vampires, werewolves, or anything else related to this book/film series across these pages. If you feel like this stance is too rigid and your loyalty lies with Twilight it would be better for both of us if you promptly excused yourself. Thank you for understanding and good day.
