(no subject)
well, i gave in and read twilight
i was too curious, there's a lot of fuss on both sides that seems to be very extreme (either you think it's god in book form and worship accordingly, or you think it's the worst shit ever).
so, it took me around 5 hours to finish, between last night and this morning.
good things:
-i liked the vampires, except for edward. i thought their backstory was interesting and inconsistencies between vampires in twilight and the historical vampire legends were addressed, for the most part.
-it was awesome that they play baseball
bad things:
- god was the love part ridiculous. what the fuck. both bella and edward are shit characters, they made me mad in every instance of the story they were in, which unfortunately is the entire fucking book. there are so many things to be said, but i'll address only two of them. 1. WHAT THE FUCK HE WATCHED HER SLEEP EVERY DAY FOR LIKE 3 MONTHS? that shit is fucked up, i don't care who you are. 2. dude, she wants to become a vampire for some douche she's dated for like a week? so what happens when, like every other teenage romance, shit gets fucked up? she's bound to realize that asshole is a prick eventually. maybe then she'd break up with him, get with emmitt who is so much more baller than edward could ever be, and we'd get what the story needs more than anything else...
-EPIC VAMPIRE FIGHTS??????????????????? the only epic vampire fight was an implied epic vampire fight. dammit i want details!! it even involved emmitt, what the fuck man? this would have added so much to the overall story! the rising action she attempts, and kind of succeeds in creating, would have been climaxed perfectly with some kind, any kind, of a fight, but none is described and it ruined the whole thing.
-phil, he sucked, what the fuck are you doing dragging some poor woman around and living (buying a fucking house in fact) on a minor league baseball player's salary? the jacksonville suns are a class AA minor league team (which is the second tier of the minor leagues, with AAA being the top tier). the average salary for a AA player is $1,500 a month. LESS THAN $20000 A YEAR. garbagemen, mailmen, mcdonalds managers and fucking cooks at coney islands make more than that yearly. can these people buy a fucking house?
well that's all i have to say. maybe i'll write a spin off involving emmitt going around and fighting other vampires and fucking killing them with his fists of justice.
