This weekend was the first time I was exposed to "Twilight" and I was interested in what the big deal was. I was then explained that Twilight is just of idiotic drivel about how vampires are among us and don't mind living in high school for eternity. Though I can imagine it would kick a lot of ass to be in high school again, I'd definitely rock college for a few more years instead. All that aside with the recent success of Harry Potter and now Twilight I think I'm going to lock myself someplace and just smoke a bunch of drugs and take a bunch of pills and create some random fantasy world of magic and mystery.
The secret, which for me will be near impossible, will be to keep it PGish. How can these kids books inspire reasonably intelligent adults to fall into this world of stupidity just kills me. How in the fiddly fuck can people buy into this bullshit? I watched a Harry Potter movie and I just about bang my head against the wall with all of the stuff that makes no sense and doesn't have continuity. By that I mean Harry can travel back in time, but doesn't fix a bunch of fuck ups. Cloak of invisibility? You think he may have some ideas with that one that aren't PG related. Does it also seem strange that a kid can go toe-to-toe with the greatest evil wizard of all-time and his much more experienced minions? Seems to me that a 13 year-old kid would get his ass kicked by an adult in just about anything.
Bottom line I have this bad feeling that one of these books is going to have some anarchist undertone or something and in the movie there will be something that flashes across the screen causing a bunch of emo's and idiotic adults to try to overthrow the government. I had the whole vampire tendencies explained to me and I swear I could just get messed up on some substance and piece together a better story from the ramblings that ensue. I'm going to watch my children like a hawk, that is a certainty. Maybe they won't be as cynical/angry as me, but I'll be damned if they fall into some Pokemon crack-enduced scheme.
Two posts in a day, WOW am I a loser.
Twilight is the downfall of the universe. I was taken to the movie by my girlfriend, (she likes the books, whatever) and I swear on my life there were 500 people in the theater, FOUR of which had a penis. There's your angle fella. Once you rope in the 10 to 22 year old girl demo you are golden.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather have my genitals impaled then see that entire film.
