Twilight sends me to sleep
Twilight. What is all the fuss about? I do not understand at all. I think its utter tripe.
I read the first book when I was travelling in Australia as my travel buddy insisted I must as it was so amazing, so I settled down to read it. I can’t say I was impressed. I thought the main character Belle was just a complete and total wet drip that needed a good slap, and Edward Cullen? Get a grip and stop being so intense; it’s really not an attractive quality.
When I got home I returned to my office job where some of the women have pictures of the male cast members from the film on their desks, and they drool over them all day dreamy-eyed and gush over how ‘wonderful’ they are. REALLY? Do I need glasses? I don’t see the fascination myself.
The film Twilight came on TV and I watched it, with no real sense of anticipation, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and why grown women turn into gushing, blubbering wrecks. Well what can I say? Oh my god I was so BORED. It was utter trash. The acting was horrendous and Belle was even worse than in the book. What is that god awful permanent pout about? Its like she’s trying to compete with the equally horrendous Keira Knightley on who can look the most gormless. And that Robert guy, is he really supposed to be a heartthrob? REALLY?
There was no chemistry, the script was plain, and nothing grasped me in the slightest. I always thought the whole thing about vampires was supposed to erotic, but this film was about as erotic as wiping snot from a baby.
I can safely say I will not be watching any others. In fact I would rather stick hot pokers in my eyes and shelf designer bathroom accessories in a home store for the rest of my life.
