Twiglet

Yes, the time has come readers (all three of you) for my TWILIGHT RANT!

It was splashed all over the news this morning that a new torment to my cinema was arriving shortly; New Spoon or something. One of the many teenage hos lining the barriers of the Premier said she would "totally like, die for Twilight". I nearly died of disappointment in the human race at this moment.

My sister, who is a student and therefore biologically programmed at this time in her life to rant about everything, spouted a load of poo about feminism and abusiveness. But then I thought (not that I'd admit it to her) she kinda has a point...

Think about it - Eddy, from the moment of meeting Bella, tells her what to do. To "protect" her. She is constantly covered in mysterious bruises after their dates and he essentially controls her from Day One.

Smack of an Abusive Relationship, anyone?! But Stephenie Meyer glamourises it as romantic, perhaps even a modern day Romeo and Juliet?

Now, comparing Meyer with Shakespeare anywhere near me provokes me to the point of murderous thoughts, and Romeo and Juliet is second to NONE. It promotes the idea of an equal relationship where both male+female have to sacrifice the same - love of their families, and eventually their lives, for the same aim - union.

And finally, the Number One Reason Twilight Sucks? The vampires - FLY. W.T.F.

Katesby :)
