Meyerpiers confuse me

First of all let me preface this with stating, that i have not, nor do I intend to, read the books.  I did see the first movie, I doubt I'll see the new one.  I did see the bunnies do twilight at http://www.angryalien.com/aa/twilightbuns.asp which I believe makes me more than qualified to complain about this series.

So, The Twilight Saga, New Moon is coming to theaters and little teeny bopper girls (and their mothers) seem to be thrilled.  In fact, most women out there seem to be head over heels in love with the characters in this movie.  I can't say I understand it.  This is like a cheesy teen soap opera with vampires.  I love you, no wait we should be apart.  No I love that other guy, but not really, oh yeah he's a werewolf and you two are mortal enemies, but you sparkle in the sun so you would be good at a sunny disco, not to mention the fact that you know the only place in all of Washington State that has sunlight.  This is bloodsucking teen angst.  No wait, they are vegetarians, they don't eat people, they eat something, can't remember what, perhaps cheese whiz.  Oh, and don't forget that they are decades old, but keep going to high school.  Really??  I went once, I graduated, I was done.  I DO NOT want to repeat it over and over and over and over again.

These sparkling meyerpiers are weird, and the romance is weird.  Now to be honest I do enjoy traditional chick flicks like When Harry met Sally, but this is just painful.  I love you, no I don't, perhaps I do, no wait maybe I just want a snack, lets go to Denny's and the blood bank.  This is closer to a really really bad soap opera, especially in the last book, which I have heard, makes the least sense.  After so many angst ridden pages of turn me into a vampire, no, please, no, pretty please, no... well OK, everything gets uber weird with babies, and werewolves and tigers, Oh MY!  I guess this thing is just not for me.

You need to make it damn clear that *I* am not a fangirl. And you also must clarify that YOU are the one who made ME watch it. I'm not sure I will ever forgive you for that.

I saw New Moon (pirate copy). I laughed a lot... over the sighing and giggling teenagers at the theatre where the pirate copy was taken. Anyway... New Moon is better than the first movie, but Kristen Stewart still can't act and the plot is plain dumb. There are worse movies, though.

I still don't know if I can ever bring myself to watch it. The first was so bad.
