To explain “New Moon” the film, you not only must compare it to the books but to the style and praise of the previous film.

Disclaimer: I am not a critic, nor a genius, nor have I ever written a review. These are just my thoughts on the film. Just me talking about the pros and the cons. If for any reason you feel this doesn’t meet your standards then stop. I am just a fan of the books sense they’ve come out. I have read the books instantly as they came out after discovery the first novel Twilight from a friend. I read it before anyone had gone Vampire crazy, and before New Moon came out. So I have liked the novels a long time. Don’t get me wrong though, as much as I am satisfied with the plot line of the most of the novels I find the author disappointing.

The Author: Stephenie Meyer came and went like J.K Rowling. The author wrote a great story idea but the writing itself was nothing special. There are writing mistakes an experienced author would not make. Stephenie Meyer’s works aren’t master pieces by any standard of literary work. She got this far as J.K. has because she gave the public a nice plot line that made readers drool over pure romance. The same way that Romeo & Juliet are still read in modern times though not modern whatsoever. Yet, the author of Twilight progressively got worst. Lacking in keeping up with the true story she had started with and progressively developing into an almost different story by her fourth book. Change occurred as money in her wallet developed. The later books came solely for the money. After all she did say it herself that she only meant to write two novels and she ended up with four. Most of all I lost my respect entirely of her. Due to the fact that she  personally wrote a letter on her website telling fans of her distaste at the manuscript of Midnight Sun being released online by one of her people and basically telling the readers punishments will happen for it by her not finishing the novel and releasing the draft on her website for all eyes. This action of so outwardly blaming her loyal fans of which some refused to read it even though they could. Shows the fact of how power-hungry she has become to lose track that these people  are devoted to supporting any action taken by her then to just be kicked in the gut for having done absolutely nothing. Plus, it was clearly her fault for the release for trusting the wrong people.

Twilight: My review of twilight the novel. I give it five stars. The characters felt real, relate-able, and consistent. The writing was neither completely poor nor amazing. It was very average like when a friend ask you to read something they wrote. It was properly written and is definitely for a young person that could not acknowledge mistakes. It was written rather childishly, like an adolescent wrote it, which makes it in essence easier to relate to Bella. Although Stephenie Meyer says it was written for  older crowd like individuals like herself, Twilight would not cut it. Most adults would not totally dismiss it, yet it would not have had as great a turn out as it had with the young adult readers. Overall, it is by far the best novel of the Twilight Saga. This is very bad for the rest of the books because they cannot meet up to the standards of the first novel.

New Moon: This novel is clearly the worst of the four novels to some and to others its just seems like a small stepping stone. This novel feels like it was a filler episode in the series.  It filled in some gaps and brought in some ideas for the future books but over all I feel it was a waste of time expect for a few expectations. If the novel had just contained the first bit with Edward and summarized Jacob’s developing character and had the final chapters of the novel it would be better. Basically keep the beginning, the end, and shorten the middle  a lot then this novel might just be ok. Reading this I just felt like get on with the point of the story already, I get it shes depressed move on already, and Jacob is ok but his no Edward. The thing is Edward made Twilight big no matter how you see it and New Moon containing very little Edward is well boring.

Eclipse: This book should have been the last one. It solves the resolution that had started in the first novel almost completely. Though something would need to be added to make this the end and make it amazing instead it wasn’t the last one. The novel seemed to drag on in the middle like New Moon yet it contained some more interesting facts. The end was thrilling, the beginning is forgetful because I literally can’t recall the beginning. Eclipse was nothing special, it was better than the second but still could not compare to the first. Most readers that I spoke to feel that the Bella everyone had fallen in love with in Twilight and people could relate to had become someone utterly different. I get that characters in novel can grow up and change to but this was a radical attitude change in the series. It just felt like a different person with the same name.

Breaking Dawn: By far the worst of the books in the series to most. This novel has the same character ideals of same names, vampires, werewolves, and fight for good. However this novel seems almost unrelated to the rest to the series. The main characters seem almost like strangers to fans of the series. The actions and plot line of the story are just out-of-place with the rest of the series that most people are disgusted to call Breaking Dawn the end of the Twilight series. This book is entirely like a filler episode to the climax. Then as the reader reaches the climax disappointment is waiting. Some of the ideas or passages of the novel are what the fans of Twilight had been waiting to see, yet with the personality change of characters, mainly Bella, made those passage unbearable to enjoy fully. The beginning plays with the exact answers to  that of the readers questions of  “what would happen if this happened.” The middle didn’t really make sense and seemed to be implemented for a shock effect. The end was a the biggest fail and disappointment for readers looking for a little more action.

Twilight the film: Disappointment. Comprehension that the novel can’t literally be brought to life but it was painful to watch almost. The acting by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson was horrible. Neither of them can properly act. This is no surprise sense Catherine Hardwicke tends to favor actors and not properly look for actors that can act. The effects in the film were unimpressive and lacked realism. A lot of the details that made the novel famous were left out. Scenes were added that just wasted time in the movie and were pointless. The camera work was done poorly and overall failed in properly symbolizing what the novel was all about. Twilight basically had been butchered to shreds for fans of the novel.

New Moon the film: In comparison to Twilight, the film, New Moon was amazing. The effects were much smoother, there were more of them, the camera angles were nice, and it properly symbolized what the Twilight Saga is about. The actors of the first film were kept and brought down the movie. Due to the fact the worst actors in the film are the lead actors. However one lead actor stands out from the rest. Taylor Lautner was amazing. His acting skills carried the film and made the character Jacob look outstanding. Compared to the novel in which fans didn’t like not having as much of Edward in the film I feel better not having Robert Pattinson on-screen. His acting was literally a joke and Kristen Stewart is so emotionless and seems more like versions of  Keanu Reeves. The film kept very close to the novel, but the film brought the novel to life were the novel had failed. The fail was much more entertaining and accomplished in the areas that novel lacked. It had a much more concrete ideas of romance between Edward and Bella. It brought out the feelings of the novel while still being able to introduce the added plot-line of the werewolves and the Volturi. In the end it was a great film. It was better than Twilight the film and New Moon the novel.

Eclipse/Breaking Dawn the films: As the Twilight Saga rages through the media, I hope success on the future films, and wish for certain actors to get some talent, while the rest of the cast stays gifted in their roles. Much appreciation to the actors that play….

Jacob, Charlie, Cullens (Carlisle, Esme, Emmette, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice!), the Wolf Pack.

So today’s horoscope says this…

Gemini

Getting through the day may be tougher than you thought it would be — especially if some rather distressing news arrives. Just don’t try to avoid the situation. It won’t work, so be brave, meet it head on and deal with it. That means no calling in sick to work, no asking to leave early and no dragging yourself through the day pouting. Be brave, be meticulous and take care of business like the mature, responsible grownup you are.

Really grown up? Me? Damn it! Yes, I did think it would be easy seems it won’t my darling family will object to that. Deal with it? I won’t I’m having a party and no one is coming. Deal?! Hah…..

Excerpt: Another day as another year goes by.

Hey,

Long time no see… Updates? Not many. This whole year has been odd to say the least. Its my senior year and I’m graduating, as such drama and lots of it. The best time of your life is high school. Ha, yeah right! The worst time of your life is in high school. Its suppose to be a fabulous year of many deeds and yet its not. Its filled with pressure, drama, and resentment. See, now that I’m graduating I wish I had done a lot of things that I didn’t do. Its the end of my youth its upsetting. I wish what most don’t. I like being the baby! I like having people fuss over me, and take care of me. I don’t do work and I’m selfish and lazy. Growing up, sucks! It means that you can no longer depend on your parents. It means all those annoying things they did for you, you have to do. Please, don’t wish to grow up. It isn’t really about being selfish and lazy. Its just that the things you could get away with youth, the memories, and complete ignorance of the world I wish. Life’s a bitch, and to growing up means you have to deal with this. Having been a youth, I know that I’d prefer my ignorance of all the horrid, vile, and despicable things that happen in the world. Another thing is my era, my generation is well doomed. The economy seems to be crashing and as the negative person I am I believe we are at a high risk of another Great Depression or War World III. Not only that but depletion of resources and increase in disease, is well scary, think of “Children of Men” the movie. So I’m really discouraged in becoming an adult as all this occurs. Plus, I just don’t feel like I’m prepared for it. I know I’m whining, but can’t help what you are.

I was going to discuss a serious topic, but I lost my mind. Literally, I don’t remember what I was going to say. YEESH!!

I’ll see you all tomorrow maybe. An update a day? That would be sweet if I wasn’t the lazy type of person, that I am.

Marked 01 – PC Cast

Is the corporation LIN slow or what? Why should Time Warner pay them more?

I mean is it just me, because the dispute between LIN and Time Warner is ridiculous. Why should Time Warner pay them more even if it is a little bit of money out of their pocket?

Ok, so for me in Ohio its branded as

CW or WWHO

, its basic cable. Cable that if you had no cable company you could still watch because its like 1 of 8 channels that is on for free.

Free, remember that

. So they want to get paid by cable corporations for them airing their already free channel.

My opinion is why should they get paid if its airing for free? I say just when you want to watch the channel unplug the TV and use an antenna. Oh yeah Time Warner also tells you to do that themselves, while giving away antennas to their customers, during this “black out.” That’s what people are calling it. If you don’t want to do that, you could always watch the episodes on the computer because CW shares their programming on their site. Still not happy? Its probably illegally by other people on youtube upload the episodes. Its illegal but it is not like you put the footage on the internet, you didn’t download it, you went to a site and it was there…I’m getting side tracked I’ll discuss the illegal copy right issue after my LIN argument.

I just don’t understand, they’re trying to get their “viewers” to switch from Time Warner to Dish. Going as far as to make a contract where you get $50 “incentive” for switching, which is not bad. But all this hassle for a free channel. My opinion is I don’t side with either side because LIN is being greedy and so is Time Warner. Why should people pay for free service? If LIN doesn’t like it remove their channel from the free airwaves and create a pay to see online programming viewing thing. Things are expensive and I understand the value of a dollar, I don’t want to pay more even if it is a small amount for my cable service. Worst I don’t want to pay more for a channel I barely watch, except for Gossip Girl, and a channel that I can get for free. I also don’t want to switch.

The channel over all is no great lose for me. I can rely with it being online. It creates a space for a new channel to air. Its not a mayor lose for Time Warner. Its ridiculous LIN cannot be compared to the size of the Time Warner Cable corporation. Overall this money dispute would only lead more viewers to turn their backs to it and move on to a new channel. Plus, the companies in charge of the programs might even decide to remove their programming from that channel to another channel due to customer availability and lose of ratings. I think they just screwed themselves.

But I get it you need money to live, especially to live well, and by well I mean to succeed in life. However, the company is doomed because they don’t have no control and no power. Worst is that they aren’t getting paid because their channel is FREE, which is all their doing. They could have succeed if they had stayed friendly with all instead of being greedy. See they get paid for airing their programming, and for airing the commercials. They get paid for that stuff, and its not too shabby. But they got a head of themselves. Before they went on strike for money, they should have had high ratings like those of channels that do get paid and aren’t free networks. Examples of are those of Disney, MTV, E!, and others.

Basicly What I Am Saying To LIN is:

Stop fighting for a ridiculous reason, and get a hold of yourselves. Don’t ask Time Warner for money you aren’t going to get it until your important, which your not. Behave and slowly take over the ratings then hit them low for the money.

Do you feel like the world, the sun, everything revolves around you?

It watches your steps commenting, yet seeking more in your actions.

You can’t help being human and thinking your the center ofattention and wanting more.

I am human.

—————————————-

I love the way I think that everyone is watching me,
And yet I don’t want to be seen by anyone.
Hidden in my own dispare and joy.
I like being me
And if people see that I’m me,
And not them,
Not what people want me as.
Why should I fear it?

I want to be that girl,
That you smile at from across the room,
And you can’t keep your eyes off.
But I also want to be that girl,
That you can’t see invisible,
And hidden.

Even though I’m standing their infront of you
Because if you see that then you know
That I can be anything
And anyone I chose to be.

My dream guy would not be Edward Cullen.
My dream guy would be you.
In your mistakes and mishaps just you,
My beloved.

You know when I think back to our best moments.
I think of you and me
Just talking.

For four hours, five minutes, days.
It doesn’t matter where, when, or how long.
As long as its just you and me.

You mean everything to me.

Going to school! I’m in love with oh oh oh sexy vampire by fright rangers. I’m 17 turning 18 and life has only made me feel like dying. I love you all! I miss Barry and when people ask me about him, I don’t know what to say. I like the calmness of having people not knowing because then it gets complicative. Like Idk. I have to go

Everythings…is better. Its all ‘All Right.’ I hope I think.

So thoughts, because I feel tired, exhausted, drunk, and dazed. Hopefully thoughthe meds will work and I’ll be back to myself soon enough.

I was thinking of you
I was dreaming of you
I wondered about you

In this life we live,
In the shadows we hide
I just can’t believe
Everything was so out of sight.

I missed you
With all my heart
Even through
Hours, Minutes, and Seconds.

You were my only thought.
You will always be my only thought.
I live to be with you

Now
And I don’t know
What it would be like
To live without you.

I’d rather die
Then never have you around.
Never to be with you

To be held by you
To be touched and caressed
To be in love
To feel everything is just right

I’d much rather die in your arms at your side.

I guess I’ve been fooling myself for far too long. Its only been a couple hours, but I can’t deny the fact I have been running from it. So, me and B fought again. You all are probably going “about what? whats the big deal?” I haven’t an idea what we fought about. :’( He was acting strange. His never cussed at me even when I have him. His a gentle even when I’m a rude bitch. He came on and I poked some fun at him for coming on late as I always do. Then he was like fu and something stupid normal guys say he said. He said “your mom.” I was shocked, appalled, and taken a back. He has never just acted and blurted something out like that maybe, if I had started. But I didn’t it was weird, he was being rude to me, I got offended and he sent me his picture of the building he was working on. I said it was awful, and bye because I didn’t like his attitude. He left though he was like why do I even bother. I didn’t say it to hurt his feelings not exactly I just said it because he’d been mean to me. Am I wrong?

Hi…um everybody who reads this. If anyone ever does. *sighs pathetically*

Life has yet to be any more interesting then usual and sense I can barely explain why it is so. Due to stupid things like law issues. Ok, not law issues just I try to keep at least some spice into what I know.

Just so who ever reads this and gets confused I’m watching dot hack sign, so just a little distracted. I should really be getting ready for school. But I’m not and its no big deal.

*stretches and yawns*

My laptop is absolutely dead. I have no clue what happened exactly. However the charger is dead!!!! *cries* Also, I can’t obtain a new laptop till June. Way too long, but I guess I’ll just have to move on.

~Interupted by Mom calling even though she left 10 min. ago!
