Continuing the sentiment from yesterday's post, I was watching The Today Show yesterday morning, and Kristen Stewart of Twitard fame was one of their esteemed guests. She was a boring, inarticulate yawn-fest and I am pretty darn sure that Matt Lauer was having a tough time engaging her.
But let's back up... John and I actually bothered to watch the first Twitard movie, and we were appalled. In fact, I can't even recall whether or not we made it through the whole thing. I might have been drinking wine to alleviate the boredom, but in any case, I do not get what all the fuss is about.
The movie flat-out sucked.
The writing is crappy and the acting even crappier. There is nothing to like. People keep telling me the books are better, and you know what, if that's the case, great, but there's no chance in hell I'm ever going to read that stuff. Also, if that's the case, why aren't the movies any good? (Okay, I haven't seen the other two, but gauging from the first, I have the distinct feeling that they suck too, and I'm just not going to bother to find out whether or not I'm right).
Anyway, I guess I'm really happy I don't have a tween or teen at the moment, insisting I drag them to the theater on opening night to watch this garbage. I would seriously rather let my child watch the current incarnation of intelligent and creative vampire entertainment in the form of HBO's True Blood, (despite the violence, etc.), than watch what is essentially a cheesy vampire soap opera that is promoting a lack of talent across the board.
Anyone with me on this?
Anyway, I think I'd have to ixnay the witarday from the Fountain repertoire of acceptable entertainment for the kids we may or may not have.
By the way, thanks to Emma Bing - @ecandy101 for the inspiration behind this post.
