What The Hell Is Up With Twilght????

I am screaming from the hilltops, "THIS IS TOO MUCH." Okay. Maybe that is a little dramatic but it gets across the point. Can someone please tell me what the hell is up with Twilight?? I remember coming to school one day and having Kim introduce me to the books, which at the time I was very excited to read. Everyone was talking about them, all my friends in Sydney had read them and not only that, but a movie (my favourite thing in the world) was coming out soon and I wanted to read the book before I watched it. So I asked my dad to get me the book from the public library (he bought it instead- he never buys me anything but he decides to buy me twilight-dear god) and I sat down for a whole day. I enjoyed the book so I ended up reading the entire series which was also good. Now the Twilght Saga aren't the best books in the world (despite what some crazed twi-hard will tell you-trust me there's better) but they're still pretty good. So Kim and I went and watched the movie. This is when all of the problems started.

First of all, the movie wasn't good. I came out it with my best compliment being that it was alright and Robert Pattinson pulled off Edward pretty well. But the more I thought about it the more I realised how bad it was. As the months have progressed I have grown a serious hatred for that film. That is two hours and a minute that I will never get back. The movie was depressing, Kristen Stewart acting was flat (I swear she has no emotion) and Robert Pattinson jumping from trees and screaming that no one is stronger than him was the most hilarious thing I have seen in my entire life (it was supposed to be dramatic).

The movie blew up earning over 70 million dollars opening weekend and the hype commenced. The reason for my post has been revealed-the hype. The twi-hards, merchandising, DVD, magazines, Robert Pattinson autobiographies, Twilight Documentaries, greasy hair, Kristen Stewart face on every gossip site, posters, WE CAN'T HIDE!!!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!! TWILIGHT IS EVERYWHERE!! You look to the left, twilight is there. You look to the right, twilight is there. You look in front of you, twilight is there. You walk forward praying to god you won't see it again but then you realise it's right behind you. YOU CAN'T HIDE!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH TWILIGHT?!??!!

People were complaining about High School Musical overload but it wasn't half as bad as this. Shockingly, High School Musical is a better movie!! It makes sense to have a High School Musical doll considering the movies are for kids but why would you make a doll for movies directed toward teengers??? What teenager in their right mind would want a doll. The thing that I can't wrap my head around is that there is a good chance that those dolls sold out anyway!

I don't want to be a princess, I want to be a vampire-Supre, what are you smoking!!! Who in their right mind decided to sell those shirts and why would you buy them??? They were the gayest things I had ever seen. I turned around and some six year old was wearing one because they were too young to understand the embarrassment that are those shirts. You know what's really sad. THOSE PROBABLY SOLD OUT TOO!!!!

Can someone please inform the people behind Twilight and the stars of the movie that overexposure is NOT good?? Your not making us want to buy it by shoving it in our faces, you're making us want to steal every DVD off the shelf, take them outside and break them with a machete. The books were good. Isn't that ENOUGH??? You're ruining it. Haven't you heard the saying too many cooks spoil the broth?? It's too much! Now, the orginal dedicated Twilight fans, (Kim) hate the series because they're so annoyed with the hype. Slow it down and give us some air!! The movie wasn't even good!!

To make matters worse New Moon comes out next month, Eclipse is filming right now and Breaking Dawn is in the works (it might end up being split into two films-oh lord!!). There is no end to this torture. It won't die for a couple more years. Because I love movies, and Twilight is so big, I am going to watch it just because I don't want to have to say I didn't. How sad! There is some hope in this tunnel of darkness. There is a new director so it might be better than the first and Dakota Fanning (a decent actor) is in it. So there is some hope for a good film but the hype. We are stuck with it for another couple of years. :(

Peace, Love, Boycott Twilight Hype!!!
