Twilight marks the first time that I have been the only person in a movie theater. I have in the past come close to being the only person in a theater on a few other occasions, for example Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. Thankfully for Twilight, it is spared from both it’s audience [which is considerably harder to pass judgment on when they're not there], and the unfortunate amount of money that the Kung Pow earned. Twilight is also fortunate that it is no where near as awful as Kung Pow [which, unfortunately for Twilight, was only awful because it was intentionally mocking terrible dubs from years past].

Something better to sink your fangs into
December 4, 2008There’s a lot of buzz about Twilight and teenage vampires. I wish I could say that I hadn’t heard about Twilight, but the fact of the matter is that I did. From the moment I got past the intriguing cover to hear about who the book was targetted at, I hated it instantly. Twilight, however, will receive a temporary reprieve from my deep desire to deadpan it, as I haven’t read the books [I won't] and I haven’t watched the movie [I will, so as to 1. ) confirm my suspicions, and 2.) be able to speak with credibility]. I recognize that the admission of my bias and loathing isn’t necessarily fair, and that it doesn’t help establish credibility, but quite frankly, tough shit. When the fans of Twilight stop behaving like preteen and young teen girls did when Brittany Spears and N’Sync put out an album together [which was sold at McDonald's, classy], then they can complain. What might be most upsetting though is that one of the arguably best films of the year, which also involves vampires, is going unnoticed. I am of course referring to Let the Right One In.
