| Twilight...best movie ever...for MST3K |

Ok, I finally saw the runaway hit Twilight (still couldn't bring myself to read any of the books...two hours lost is enough of an investment for me). To reiterate the subject heading, I would so love to turn this movie into an episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Now that would be good.
Bless their hearts...wow, now I know that watching this movie while I am currently reading Jane Eyre (not while I was watching the movie but that is the current book that I am reading...again) sets it up for failure and so I won't even come close to comparing the writing. But I will say, wow, I think this screenplay could have been memorized in one day. Their was no depth, no substance, and the scenes were choppy and at times irrelevant and I was left with the feeling of "so what?" And everything was just so melodramatic.
Now I will say I was quite impressed in the visual element. I do not know if this was filmed on location in Washington but there were some fantastic aerial views of the mountains. Just beautiful!!! And I did truly enjoy the vampire baseball game. The family was actually the only element that I did enjoy or feel anything for. I was more concerned that someone in the Cullen family would get hurt by the "bad" vampires than I was about the main characters.
Oh well. I just had to see what all the talk was about and now my curiosity is satisfied and now I can return to Ms Eyre and Mr. Rochester...for we are just about to the part where the mad woman in the attic disrupts all of Jane's beautiful dreams...for a time. Man do I love this book :)
I've heard about someone adding zombies to Pride and Prejudice, I wonder what would happen if you added vampires or werewolves to Jane Eyre? Maybe that's what was wrong with that woman in the attic...she did bit people after all :) |
