Booze & YA Lit
Last night, I got drunk with a friend of mine and watched New Moon and Eclipse with the rifftrax on. Oh my god so terrible. So very, very terrible. There was much mocking of Bella and the make-up artists and Jasper's ridiculously terrible hair. That said:
a.) part of me really wished I was ten when these came out because if so, I would have been all over Jacob. Seriously, taking off his shirt to tenderly blot Bella's head wound? Bella and Jacob's whole shirtless in the rain convo? SHIRTLESS, RIPPED DUDE IN THE RAIN. I would have been on that shit like white on rice, instead of rolling my eyes that anyone would care about Bella. Find a gf with a personality, Jacob!
b.) watching the movie, I find it unfathomable that anyone could prefer Edward over Jacob. Like seriously?
c.) if someone had been taking shots every time I went 'jesus christ' in disgust, we likely would have had to take them to the hospital.
And rereading this, I think it is a damn good thing I wasn't ten when these books came out.
As a sort of comedy interlude between the movies, my friend and I also watch the Simpson's YA lit episode which was both hilarious and depressing.
On the subject of YA, I just got Divergent and Mastiff from the library, and while I'm looking forward to reading both of them, it is really awkward that both of those books are so big they can't fit in my purse. Awwwwwkward.

That being said, 100% with you on Jacob vs. Edward. It's not even a contest! What is life?! Hahaha.

Bella: Change me into a vampire!
Edward: No. Being a vampire is horrible and angsty and glitter-coated.
Alice: No, that's mostly just you. Being a vampire is pretty cool.
my ultimate point being that I think she'd have been better off with Alice. Get to be a vampire, get to be with someone who isn't a jerkface stalker.

I'm not sure how I feel about that, but mostly, I think, YAY.
(It should be noted that until I read this post I didn't actually know what the blokes' names were as I avoid all things Twilight like the plague they are.)

My only problem with them was in NM, I think, where they made jokes about Rosalie being raped, which is in really poor taste. Yeah, the movies suck and deserve to be mocked mercilessly, but what happened to her? No.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Jacob is the reason I kept on reading this terrible series. I love Robert Pattinson as much as the next lady but even Robert agrees that Edward is kind of lame. XD

I ship Jacob/Bella like burning but yes. The only time Bella seems to have anything close to a personality is when she's around Jacob but she treats him so badly because the silly girl can't get Edward out of her head. Goodness knows why. I mean, how hard is it to make a choice between a creepy stalker who you can do nothing but stare at all day and a hot as hot nice guy who you can actually have fun with?
All I can say is, Thank God for fan fiction.

Rich. White. Privileged.
I don't like Jacob either, I think he's a chest-thumping jackass who won't take no for an answer. Even so, he is vastly superior to Edward...but he's not the "prince charming" archetype that 13yr old girls are taught to aim for.
I watched the first 3 with my sister for teh lulz, but I don't think I'll be able to stomach it with these last two. Just the fact that they made it a 2-part makes me want to punch someone.

Oh thank God someone else with the good sense the realize that Jacob is always better then Edward. I mean Edward's pale and skinny and sparkles in the sunlight. WHAT EVEN IS THAT ABOUT?!

Bella deserves far, far better.
