Twilight, the books

DON'T JUDGE ME. I HAVE HAD 8 HOURS SLEEP IN 3 DAYS. JUDGE ME LATER WHEN SANITY RETURNS.

That creepy ass werewolf imprinting thing is even freakier than Edward sitting in her room watching her at night and all his mad controlling behaviour. AND YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

And! Edward's efforts to protect his virtue against Bella's teenage lust for sex sparkles, will never not be golden entertainment.

Twilight. WILL IT NEVER END?

I can't not but be impressed that Meyer made a fortune out of four books which have as their basic plot a teenage girl trying to get her boyfriend have sex with her.* And that boyfriend holding out for her making an honest man out of him. Now, that's genius.

*It's the teen version of Joseph Andrews! I just couldn't think what plot it reminded me of.


Also: still not sleeping.

I think there needs to be a community on LJ for people who have missed crappy cultural phenomenons. You could go there when you've discovered something horrifying/entertaining/cracktastic that everyone else has tired of and find like minded late adopters of awful entertainment. It could be called 'still not good.'

The advantage would be that it might remove a smidge of the shame that one feels when you discover something awful but cracktastic and watch it through on your own without the comfort of communal madness to solace you.
