Bienvenue a Twilight (No association with the French)

Welcome! This was made by two American, blue-eyed, bombshell college girls, one loves it, one hates it. We are really phenomenal friends regardless, opposites do in fact attract. To be warned, to all you TwiHards out there in the world, this blog will tend to be less than favorable of the series, or maybe, think of it as the Swiss nation of the Twilight world (for those of you who don't know, that means neutral. Tell your teacher you learned something today). I decided to create this blog a few days after seeing New Moon due to an intense need to get my opinion out to "challenged" 13 year olds. I'll be fair, my opinions have been formed after reading all 4 books, some multiple times, and seeing both movies, (several times). In other words, I participate in the phenomena, and yet, I find I have a lot of important negative things to say, along with incredible praise for Taylor Lautner's abs.

And so...enjoy! Positive comments are always enjoyed, and negative ones are inevitable and shall be joyously laughed at.

Rating System

So we all understand how dolphin flipping crazy some Twilight fans can be (bite my baby?. . . . are you serious? How does your husband feel about this?), and so AH and I have come up with a rating system for this site. At the top of each post we will place one of three ratings, Good, Bad, or Fugly. If your eyes are too senstive to read some aweomely harsh posts about your imaginary boyfriends and their coherts then please avert your eyes on posts marked Bad, and especially fugly. We try to keep it classy, but a lot of the time, we can't hold it in. AH's will tend to be more favorable, stick to that if you are a fan.

Good = Taylor Lautner's Abs, Robert Pattinson
Bad = Taylor Lautner's Age, Robert Pattinson's Abs
Fugly = K-Stew

Job Well Done (very Good!)


New Moon opened with $140.7 million at the domestic Box Office! (#3 of all time!)

Nice job, Twihards (hopefully we can all go back to our daily lives & continue living... just wait for Eclipse now!)

Unfortunate when considering who most of the people who saw this were, but congrats to Summit. Hopefully this will make Summit give the green light to Breaking Dawn. May this bring them the sense to cut out Renesme!!

X, AH

SO GOOD, So Good!


Reporter-"Have you ever felt that in the center of the Twilight success hides a well concealed conservatism about the sexual relationship of Bella and Edward?"

R.Pattz-"Everyone could translate the story as they wish. Personally, I feel that this sexual abstinence works in the complete opposite way. It creates a sexual tension that makes fans scream: they have to have sex, they have to have sex."

...FINALLY!!!!

New Moon : Fugly

So as mentioned, the blog was born after seeing New Moon. While a far-cry from its predecessor, BadLight, New Moon was still fugalicious. I rated New Moon a 4/5 out of 10, while Twilight is definently around negative 7 (will definently be explained at some point). Soundtrack was better, the opening part with the moon was decent, budget increases = harmony, Taylor Lautner's additional 30 Lbs. was the next best thing since Brad Pitt in Thelma & Louise (a real movie, check it out), but the level of disaster was too strong. Too strong. Maybe a little smelly too. Here is why:

1. Robert Pattinson is naturally quite beautiful, not my taste at all, but symmetric, and . . . model-esque. Why in this film did I literally need to close my eyes from his grossness? That is a travesty.

2. Bella. Bella erased feminism. Why are you on the ground whimpering? Get on your feet woman and hold your head high! You are the heroine of one of the most popular, albiet messed up, stories of all time and people look up to you! Grow. a. pair.

3. Suicide. Death. Darkness. Emo music. Emo clothes. Emo lighting. Emo emo emo....elmo.

4. The rapist-pedophile-motorcycle scene. Why and how did she get out of that situation? Unrealistic and therefore tacky.

5. Seeing Edward when she does dangerous things. ? . . . . . . . odd.

6. Edward's abs. Gooey, never stand next to Taylor. Ever.

7. The Italian Vampires. Cheeseball and not in a good way. All Dracula figures should be delicate but, this was just a poor choice.

8-10. More Bella. She is the worst, most atrocious, most insulting, and offensive female character of all time. All time. She picks Edward over Jacob in the films, which really just makes her look like a suicidal and mentally challenged fruitcake, she doesn't dress herself well, she is cruel to her father, she is cruel to her friends, she abuses her relationships, she is deeply selffish, she wants to be dead, she wants to be a vampire, she wants to desert her family to one day have demon baby.

Although Taylor Lautner is phenomenal, it doesn't make the cut.

"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”: Good, obviously


This is a post introducing you more specifically to Miss Audrey on this blog and the sort of thing you can expect of her. She is the Yearbook's gossip-go-to as well as the Robert Pattinson go-to. She in contrast to myself adores Twilight, and simply has some problems with K-Fug. Although she is a big fan, she can live in reality (hint hint to the rest of you......even though she met R.Pattz in real life!!!!) In other words, expect delights from her soon and always

Breaking Dawn: Fantasmically Digusting: Fugly


Alright so I cannot lie, I despise all things Twilight (except Taylor Lautner's shoulders, back, and abs...and no that isn't creepy), and chose to develop this site so people know there are others out there who don't like it. In fact, I dislike it so much I have things to say about it, like word-vomit.

Here's the thing: I used to love it. Spring semester of college a friend got me into the books, and like most delightful ladies, I read the first 3 in about a week. I was Team Edward (shocking!). I didn't hate Bella yet. And then something happened in August of 2008 that made me want to cry, Breaking Dawn was released. Never in my life have I read, watched, or heard of anything so bad. SO BAD. And here is my list of why:

No actual sex scene
A baby
Nay a demon baby (Linda Blair demon baby)
Jacob wanting to molest said demon baby
A horrible demon baby hybrid name (RENESME??. . . I call Shenanigans on that one)
Edward becoming only a sperm donor and no longer mattering to the story
Bella becoming a fruitcake of a vampire
Having the whole book lead up to a battle only to have.....a peace conference
Edward chewing through Bella's clammy lady-cave to get the demon baby out
Demon baby aging/trying to eat her mother
Edward approving of Jacob's need to molest the demon baby. Seriously planet Earth: This is the equivalent of me sleeping with my mother's ex-husband. BARNYARD does not even begin to describe....

And then worst of all:

The fact that the only reason sex matters in this entire story (entire meaning all 4 books), is for Bella to get pregnant and have her baby. No woman's ability to enjoy sex. No ability to continue to care about Edward once the demon is born. MORMON, hardcore. Also, we, the gentle reader, spent 3 books caring about Bella and Edward, as Bella and Edward, NOT as Bella and Edward, parents. We wasted this entire series on the wait for the baby. The CLIMAX of the story, is the baby, that is upsetting. This is a teen book world, this is meant for teen girls. That means 11-19 or so. And at the same time as Jamie-Lynn-Hick? And Palin Girl? Come on now. Inappro-pro.
