I get this thing occasionally...
Nov. 8th, 2007 09:58 pm...let's call it viewer shame. I get it for things like the WB's Tarzan where the show is so awful but I am irresistibly drawn to it that I watch it and I spend most of the show feeling horrifically ashamed and embarrassed and sort of watching it aslant so I can pretend I am not watching.
I am currently reading Twilight and it's the first book I've ever read in that way. It is taking me forever because I'll be reading it and then I hit an absolutely shaming paragraph and have to shove it away and pretend I am not reading it. I am not really sure why it's affecting me that way because I get that this is teen fiction and I am probably being too critical. But - I must rant a bit! (Sorry, I know many of you enjoyed it...)
( Slight spoilers. Plus a bit of a rant about Edward. )
