So, they're making Twilight by Stephanie Meyer into a move starring Cedric Diggory from the Harry Potter movies as the sexy sexy vampire.
You may recall that I had some issues with this series of books. A literal love/hate relationship where I really enjoy the writing but the storyline takes my feminist principles and stomps them into the ground and then piles mud over them and spits on the mound of mud and then calls it romance.
So, my feelings about it being made into a movie and thereby promoting the series further and showing girls that this is an okay way to act by showing it in live action with Cedric as the sexy vampire is somewhat upsetting to me.
On the other side of the conflicted emotions spectrum I am also excited about the movie and I compulsively have to click on the links that Cleolinda provides and look at the photographs from the movie.
See here for some very nice images which show off the vampire makeup and here for an interview with the author and some set pictures. Does it bug anyone else that girls are expected to swoon while watching this movie? Because it bugs me.
But it also bugs me that Kristen Stewart looks nothing like I imagine Bella to look like! Man, I hate being this conflicted. I either want to suck it up and fangirl like crazy or decide to hate it and feel better about myself.
But neither decision feels right, so I live in conflicty-town. I think Giffy can probably join me there?
