I went with Mum to see New Moon yesterday. I rented Twilight out from the video store, as a request for my family to ‘see what all the bullshit fuss is about, all these nancy spark-ly vampires;’ it shouldn’t be a surprise to most that Mum devoured it, and Dad thought that it was a riot- ‘what the fuck is this nanby-pamby vampire bullshit, these pussies are nothing compared to Vlad- now that’s a man who could give you an orgasm with a single look.’

My Dad is awkward sometimes.

She read all the books, and forced me to promise to see it with her. I should say here that I’m not a fan.. nor am I anti? I don’t know. I mean, I recognise that the writing is terrible, but I also recognise that it’s not trying to be a literary masterpiece (however painful the amount of ‘chargrin’ involved.) It seems that when it comes to Twilight you either have to be a hardcore Twihard fandom fanatic, or absolutely hate it to the bone. I admire that the storyline (monster love-triangle) has potential, but I think the idea was executed poorly, and honestly, I don’t think I would dislike it so much if it wasn’t for the constant media coverage. Seriously, I do not want to see people with TEAM EDWARD, TEAM JACOB, TEAM FUCK-YEAH-VLAD (Dad seriously wants me to make him one) in a newspaper on page three.

For those who haven’t seen it yet, or have seen the first one and didn’t like it, this one is a lot more bearable to sit through. Begone annoying blue-tint washing over everything, hello more bearable storyline/some actual action for once that doesn’t involve men battling it out in a ballet studio. But the one thing that I hated so much was the viewers/other people in the audience. Up the very front row were fans decked out in hundreds of dollars of merchandise (no Vlad, I’m afraid) constantly screaming and whistling everytime the underaged Jacob came on screen shirtless. At the back were 5 Mums, pushing 6 prams between them of babies wailing throughout the movie. And in the row in front were people who were anti-twilight, constantly heckling, booing, trying to be ~*~*~witty but because they looked like they were 12 it just came off as highly frustrating and just a little bit stupid.

Okay, if you don’t like it, fine. If you think it’s terrible, cool. But if you actually bother to pay nearly $20 for a movie ticket to heckle it for everyone else and try to come across as semi-intelligent, you have lost your mind. If this is your attempt to try to boycott it for the rest of the fans (ie, like my Mum), you are completely delusional and are only feeding the franchise by buying a ticket in the first place, you twirp. I pretty much have the same destainful sentiments to the Mums; have some respect and sense and at least get somebody to babysit if you are so desperate to see it. As for the fans, I have not paid so much money to sit there and hear you fapping and wailing about some imaginary character, and to put your friends on speakerphone so they can hear ~dear Edward~

It’s just called some cinema ettiquite, and I can’t believe that it was so hard to find within a movie with its demographic ranging from 12-70yo females (and two males who looked uncomfortable with the situation.) I’m not pro or anti twilight, but I’m pretty much supportive of common sense and respect no matter what fapping age you are, thanks.

So with that I’d like to say ‘cheers Dad; I’m pretty much Team Vlad.’

You watch those nature documentaries on the cable? You see the one about lions? You got this lion. He’s the king of the jungle, huge mane out to here. He’s laying under a tree, in the middle of Africa. He’s so big, it’s so hot. He doesn’t want to move. Now the little lions come, they start messing with him. Biting his tail, biting his ears. He doesn’t do anything. The lioness, she starts messing with him. Coming over, making trouble. Still nothing. Now the other animals, they notice this. They start to move in. The jackals; hyenas. They’re barking at him, laughing at him. They nip his toes, and eat the food that’s in his domain. They do this, then they get closer and closer, bolder and bolder. Till one day, that lion gets up and tears the shit out of everybody. Runs like the wind, eats everything in his path. ‘Cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals who he is.
