Twilight

Last night I went to the silver screen to watch Twilight: New Moon.
I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with pop culture and modern society. According to friends of mine, the first day New Moon was out in theaters was the biggest day in box office history. History! Meaning bigger than Singing in the Rain, or Lord of the Rings, or Holiday or any other movie that has class that I can't think of at the moment.

I just found out that in the 1960's, the Beetles were asked to play

different roles in a potential Lord of the Rings movie,

featuring Paul McCartney as Frodo Baggins, Ringo Starr as Samwise Gamgee, George Harrison as Gandalf, and, of course, John Lennon as Gollum. I love how famous rock and roll legends are expected to be good at everything, like painting and acting.

The Jonas Brothers have their own tv show now. Stupid.

I'm starting to know what I dislike about Twilight. According to most every girl that I've talked to, with the exception of Hannah and I think Christy, the character of Bella gives insight to the nature of the female mind; her actions portray how most girls would respond in certain situations. Supposedly, she's very relateable; One of the most relateable characters who have ever been displayed in Cinema's, apparently.

I think this is scary, stupid, and terrible. If Bella represents how most girls would act, then most American girls are pathetic, clingy, and selfish.

For one, when Edward breaks up with her, fifteen minutes of the movie (and my life) are wasted away with Bella walking through the forest saying in a considerably low voice for an 18 year old girl, "Edward....Edward....Edward? Edward!!! Edward..." And then she decides to dramatically curl up into a little ball and try to die.

Then she spends...what is it...three months?... sitting in the same chair with a pathetically sad expression on her face, staring at a window, completely uninterested in life. Lame. And pathetic. Don't get me wrong, I can be sensetive to a hurting heart. But...well... I think girls should be a little stronger than that. I'm sure there are other alternatives than curling up in a little ball and dying when a guy breaks up with you.

And i think it's kind of funny. If Bella says she loves Edward so much, then why doesn't she respect his wishes  when he says that he doesn't want her to be a vampire? She's kind of just out to make herself happy, no matter what the person she "loves" says.

And apparently when you turn into a werewolf, you get to walk around without a shirt on and wear jeans that have been cut at the knee. Oh! and 1980 style tennis shoes. Only werewolves get to do that.

I'm ranting.

Twilight is pathetic.
