Saw Twilight: New Moon and think it's the scariest movie EVER! Because if millions of people of *any* age saw this film and liked it, America is doomed. At least I didn't pay for it...I was just curious at to what all the fuss was about and pirated it. But the fact that millions of teenaged girls -- and even more shocking, their moms -- not only paid for it but got off watching it is truly frightening. It's almost a new genre -- soft-core romance porn, by the emotionally retarded for the emotionally retarded.
As critic Roger Ebert said about the same film: "The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan." That's the thing that shocked me most. It's a two-hour homage to whining and self-indulgence. Bella whines, the pale vampire boys whine, and the buff werewolf boys with their perfect abs whine. Roger called the film "an extended metaphor for teen chastity." I call it a manifesto for whiners, teaching what the writer obviously considered an important life lesson: "If you're not gettin' any, whine about it until someone pays attention to you. That'll make everything all better." The only thing I can hope for is that the teens who watch this and "get" the message will never have sex and never reproduce, thus removing their DNA from the gene pool.
