New Moon landed in my mail slot yesterday. I really wanted to see how "Twilight" continued in movie form even though I already know what happens. Wikipaedia is my best friend afterall. So I popped it in the DVD player and OH MY GOD, I was just as horrified as I thought I’d be. Seriously?
I get that it’s heartbreaking to be dumped, and for teenagers it just seems to be like the end of the world. I am truely spoiled because Buffy did it better, but seriously? Edward is a creep. A real sadistic creep. "Oh, I don’t want to hurt you, Bella. I’m so selfish. Bye." A year passes. He thinks she’s dead and suddenly he tries to kill himself??? Please, do it very painfully! The Volturi were more interesting than Edward.
And poor Jacob. The nice guys always get screwed! I found myself pleading for a knock down drag out fight between Edward and Jacob at the end because I thought it would be amusing. Alas, it did not happen. Maybe in Eclipse? I may not be able to stomach more of these.
If little girls want to grow up to be like Bella our society is doomed.
