Twi-what?

Ok, so I’m not in the market to make fun of any one particular group, I will make fun of all groups (including myself obviously!). But today, my focus is the Twi-hards. Yes, you read that correctly. Twi-hards. Now for some of you, you have no stinkin’ clue as to what I’m talking about. BUTTTTT, for some others, you know exactly what I am talking about and it’s you I am directing this too. Yes you, stop hiding behind the laptop, don’t put the cover down, and don’t look around the room to see who’s watching you read this. OWN IT. You are a Twi-hard, and I have a few questions…well, maybe just one…WTH? Really?

Dude, I get it. Edward vs. Jacob, Good vs. Evil…it’s all fun and games until you tick off the monsters….hotties running around with their shirts off..Face it, Lautner really can’t act, but rocks out an 8 pack like no other, so it’s cool…really. And, I’m not asking out of ignorance…My mum bought the first book for me because I really was intrigued by this “Beatles” like cult following and the passing out of teenagers when Pattinson came around. I will say, I liked the writing, I can see where people can get sucked into the story. Stephanie Meyer did a fantastic job. Anyone that can make it seem like vampires and werewolves are part of the everyday norm gets some kudos. So of course in my research (yes research), I bought the Twilight movie (on sale at Wal-Mart mind you). Then of course I had to buy New Moon only because it happened to be at Target when I was there buying other things, so I LET it fall in my cart.

They are interesting to watch… some of the best one liners in a movie ever, horrible acting from the extras, awkward and slow, … yet they do somehow draw you in. The first one was irritating due to it didn’t live up to the book. Shame on you Catherine Hardwicke, at least New Moon, with Chris Weitz directing was closer to the read. And as I’m sure all you Twi-hards already know, supposedly Eclipse, with another new director David Slade, is the best one yet…we’ll see, I remember book details pretty well, and I’m a stickler. On a side note, I will happily admit the soundtracks are freaking amazing. They are up there with my all time favorites actually.

Wow, talk about getting off track, back to my question…WTH? Seriously…People are getting tattoos, and I don’t mean little cute ones, I mean huge back pieces. There are people either on Team Edward or Team Jacob (which by the way was the FIRST question asked of me when someone saw me reading the book on a flight). People who actually want to move to Forks…there is a reason the vampires live there people, it’s cold, dark and rainy all the time, blah. Twi-hards give devotion a whole new meaning. You check all the blogs, all the websites, you stalk Stephanie Meyer’s site relentlessly…I mean realllllyyyy. You are on every fan page known to mankind, you want to fall in love with an actual vampire, red apples are now your favorite and you think Twilight Tuesday is an actual day of the week. And I’m pretty sure you guys go wondering into the woods on purpose hoping to find a werewolf…just sayin’. Ok, ok, I’m done. You guys are cute. Rock on with your Twilighter selves. Just don’t hurt yourselves in the quest for true love amongst monsters and don’t jump on any planes determined to get to Italy before noon. It really isn’t healthy.J On that note, I will leave you with my favorite movie quote of all time…”It would be nice not to want to kill you all the time” – Jasper Hale. Love it.

P.s. The release date for Breaking Dawn is November 18, 2011, mark it down.  J
