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.

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, certainly not. I kind of feel like picking between jacob and edward is like picking between the black death and a stomach flu.

Agreed.
