The vampire-human conundrum

Enough's been said about the weird yet wildly popular Twilight. The world seems to be divided into two types of people: Those who talk about Twilight and those who don't give a damn. Guess which one I fit into. Ha ha.

I'm not going to bore everyone by summarizing Twilight. I'll just get to the point. As much as I like Stephanie Meyer's style of writing, the movie just refuses to cut it. Let's face it, the vampire theme is frankly, being abused. You want a good vampire movie? Watch Underworld. And Rob Pattinson? No offense to the dude, but he looks like Kate Beckinsale can kick his butt on a bad hair day. The term bad hair day takes on a whole new meaning with Edward Cullen's ice cream cone head.



Now that New Moon is out, I will not lie to you guys. I'm definitely watching it, if only for the Volturi scenes where Pattinson gets his butt kicked. Romance always has its allure but like all vampire-human romances (Blood Ties, True Blood...I won't include Underworld because not only did it decently refuse to let Kate be excessively romantic but also turned that Michael character into a hybrid)the whole plot just gets too mind numbingly mushy for a rational mind at times. If they start quoting poetry, I'm so out of there.

About True Blood, don't watch it unless you have nothing better to do. Blood Ties actually has a plot and everything(albeit a much used crime detective angle, but hey it's better than no plot at all). I'd still tell you to go watch Criminal Minds instead, if you're into that though.





In conclusion, Twilight's more of an accidental success spurred on by adolescent, teenage girls who just don't know what a good movie is. Romance is all very well but let's not lose our taste over it.

P.S: I watched most of them anyway. So never mind.
