Twilight the Movie

Is it just me or does this movie look like it is going to suck...thus not going to see it. Two things...I feel like Edward did not look like a heroin addict and thats what Robert Pattison looks like. I mean he didnt in Harry Potter... he was actually kinda cute as Cedric Diggory. But he looks a hot dirty mess right now. If they had kept him looking like Cedric but changed the hair color...maybe. But yeah, don't like it.

Plus I feel like when you see movies like this, it ruins the books for you. The Harry Potter books were ruined for me until the third movie. Well thats because the first two movies absolutly sucked. And I feel like Twilight is going to be like that.

I don't even know if I'll watch it on DVD. Just like the Sookie books were ruined by True Blood first sex scene for me... I don't think Imma risk it.

Not Really Feeling Bella Anymore

So I am more than halfway through "New Moon" and I'm getting kinda angry. Mostly because Bella is soooooo dependant. Like for real. You're all up on Edward and ish and then you get all up on Jacob. Hella co-dependant and ish. Imma need you to get a backbone. Yes, I know that when you break up with someone you feel this hole with burning festering sores and ish...but imma need you to not be so dependant.

I know they are trying to make Bella be, "Bella EveryGirl" but there is a limit. I can't wait till Edward comes back so she'll stop being so GD annoying.

GA DAMN! And don't hate because I'm irritated with Bella.

Twilight

So yes, like I thought, I have rave reviews for "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyers. Grrrrreat book. Now which one is better? The Sookie books or the Bella books? I actually don't think they can be compared. Charlaine Harris writes her books for adults so sometimes there are gratuitous relations scenes and it is written in a bit more of a comical twist. I mean she is no Anita Blake with the nastyness, but there is some. Now Stephanie Meyers is written toward the young adult audience so there are no serious relations scenes or anything like that.

But the main difference is the straight up emotion. I'm talking you actually feel for these characters. You feel how much Bella needs Edward and you can feel the pull and push factors that Edward has toward Bella. Seriously though, it is almost heartwrenching.

For instance, I started on "New Moon" last night (actually, Im around 1/3 done with the book in a sitting)... and the the third chapter had me kind of upset. When he left her, I was kinda upset, and then when they had the 4 pages with the months and nothing on it... I just got kinda sad. LOL. I mean that was genius right there.

I also think part of the difference between the two books is that nature of the vampires in the two books. In the Sookie books, the vamps are out and everyone knows about them. In the Bella books, they are not out and only a few select people, including Bella and the weres know about them. Also, the vamps in the Bella books seem to be a bit more ravenous too. Any trace of blood sets them off.

Anyway, if you like vampire books like the Sookie books, then the Bella books would be a good choice. But if you read vampire books for the carnal relations, don't read it... this is nothing like Anita Blake (or so I hear cuz I refuse to read her)

Isabella Swan v. Sookie Stackhouse?

Now I'm just saying....

So, for about a year now, I have been in love with the Sookie Stackhouse Novels by Charlaine Harris. Basically, the books are about this cocktail waitress from a small Louisiana town who can read minds. Oh yeah, at this point, vampires have been exposed and live together with humans, although most humans dont like them all that much. Anyhoo, so Sookie meets a vampire named Bill and her world gets turned upside down. She basically gets in thralled in the vampire/supernatural world. She relates 2 vampires and were (who are like enemies BTW), her brother marries a were, she finds out she has part fairy... just a whole bunch of ish. Pretty good books in my opinion. So Charlaine Harris has written like 7 of these books and I just finished the last one like 2 weeks ago. I kinda refuse to buy the 8th book from amazon as it as not been in any Barnes and Nobles that I have visited.

Long story short, I heard about the Twilight series from Stephanie Meyers. Yes yes, I know the vampire thing has been played out and Charlaine Harris was def not the first to think of the idea. But for some reason, I kinda feel like Stephanie Meyers read some of Sookie Stackhouse and went from there. Like for real. This is not to say I don't think the book is good. I just got the book yesterday and I'm already around page 200...very good book. But I do think that in my preliminary stages of reading...there are serious similarities (and let me say that I do not mind...did I not say I liked the Sookie book? Why would I not want to read more of it?)

First, Bella is like Sookie...just not dumb and a mindreader. They are both some what outcasts, but for some reason, dudes just seem to love them. But no, they arent interested in these dudes, they are only interested in weird dudes. Oh yeah and they are both insanely clumsy and drawn to accident. Now, I don't really see Edward Cullen as Bill... I see Edward more like Eric. No?

Second, they are both set in little nowhere ass towns where the vamps are like outcasted and are the biggest talk of the town.

Third, this has not been confirmed, but it seems as though Jacob is a were. Bella dreamed he was a were and I think that he is. Now for Sookie, she had so many weres in her life I can't even explain.

And why is there always someone trying to kill these fools? I'm just saying.

Well, I am sure I will have great raves on this when I finish the book, which will prolly be 3 days. (I have to finish 4 books by the third week of August, as I will be forced to put leisure reading off for another 9 months).
