So, I know, I’m late to the Twilight Series obsession party. I also know that until I picked up Twilight in the stupid bookstore at stupid LAX I was mostly indifferent about the series, if not bordering on annoyed with it’s presence in my occasionally snobby literary peripheral vision. However, I’ve said it before, and pay attention because it doesn’t happen often, I was wrong. I am totally obsessed now. And, even though I’m new to the game, I have a few opinions on the trailers etc. that I’ve watched thus far in order to satiate my appetite for all things Twilight. I’ve also been home sick the past few days, so it’s given me a lot of time to indulge. This is a dangerous thing.
Anyway, so I’m still not sold on Kristen Stewart. Not just as Bella, more like….in general. Granted I’ve only seen her in Into the Wild (which wildly irritated me) and now in the trailers and some interviews for Twilight. There’s something about her that bugs me. I think it’s her mannerisms, she reminds me of Jenna Malone who I want to smack in the face with a baseball bat every time I see her in a movie (as the same damn character she always plays).  Moving on to Nikki Reed who I thought was good enough in Thirteen, although it’s hard to critique someone who’s playing out their own life in a film, and who if I remember correctly, knows Catherine Hardwicke (the director for both Thirteen and now Twilight) because she dated her father?
I’m not saying it’s not possible that I’ll see the film and love it. I’m just saying I’m a little miffed at some of the casting choices. Whatever.
Now that I’ve finished the series I should be able to redirect my focus on my reading for school. Sorry Kate Chopin, you are not nearly as enticing as vampire novels. I’m a horrible feminist, aren’t I?
I’ll shut up now and let everyone go back to their normal lives.
