Shuddup. You just don't like it because you think every other teenager in the world does. I decided to form an opinion about it, I just so happened to like it. Also I really like Stephanie Meyers style of writing, I wrote a wonderful, even if I do say so myself, short story with her style as inspiration. I'll grant you that the last book is utter rubbish and pointlessly unbelievable, but still :P

I don't like it because Stephenie Meyer's writing sucks! Are you kidding me? She overuses the same three words and it makes me want to rip out my hair. The last thing I want to read about is three heavy books' worth of how perfectly sculpted Edward's chest is and whatnot. Plus, it's a horrible role model for young impressionable girls who watch Bella get swooned over by every guy at her high school and then become this meek, weak girl who always listens to her boyfriend and doesn't want to hang out with friends anymore because he's all she needs is him in her life. No one ever actually gets penalized for any conflict, everyone seems to live through everything. Jeez. I get that it's fiction, but even the human characters don't seem real.

Yes, the storyline is boll**ks, bur her descriptive writing has a very unsettling tone which makes it effective in my opinion.

Just finished watching (500) Days of Summer

Realtively sickly sweet romcom, quite run of the mill I guess. However, it was pretty slick, different and approaches the awkwardness of first dates etc very well and in a funny way. The final scene was great as well.

7/10

Horray for watching two films in one day.

I thought it was meant to be an artsey film? Did anyone ever see Vicky Cristina Barcelona? Totally pointless but I really liked it, apparently it's similar to zat one... Think

The ending to 500 Days of Summer was kind of cliche, in my opinion. Especially the whole name thing..

Goodness, I'm just on an angry streak today, aren't I?

Emma it is artsy in that there is a few montage shots ie this is the shot, then we see that this is just their imagination. But yeah it is like a non-linear narrative system in that the 500 days are not in order. So that's a pretty cool idea I guess.

On the subject of New Moon, it was good but not great.  I think they could have tried to make Edward look like hes 17 like they do in the first film.  He does look like hes in his early 20's and hes just ..... not!! ranting  But other than that I liked it.

Watched Rec 2 last night.

It was boring, illogical, not scary and there was way too much boring, empty dialouge for a 75-80 minute horror. Rec however was scary, violent, jumpy, creepy, different, and gripping. And people say The Blair Witch Project is scary.
