The Twilight saga (series, books, movies, whatever) may be the biggest pieces of shit the entertainment world has ever seen. But I like the series. It's teen fluff, which I enjoy. And Stephanie Meyer may be a hack, but I give her some balls for changing the lore of the vampire and werewolf world into her own. I've compiled a list of reasons why I enjoy it, despite the haters.
1. Kristen Stewart. Her stoner-eyed girl next door awkward approach is something to be seen on screen. This girl is hilarious.
2. The soundtracks to the films.
3. Catherine Handwicke's direction for the first film in the series. The color, the atmosphere, the lighting, and score make it look like a lost teen angst classic.
4. Robert Pattinson's brooding appearance.
5. The escapism. I guess you can that about any fantasy story, but this one really sucks you in, no pun intended.
6. The backstories in "Eclipse". Meyer becomes a completely different writer when you come across the origin stories of Rosalie and Jasper - actually some of the best pieces of writing I've read, truth be told.
7. Dakota Fanning. She's just...awesome.
8. The horror movie feel of "Eclipse". After the snoozefest that was "New Moon", "Eclipse" knocked me on my ass with it's direction and completely different feel.
9. Taylor Launter's body. Yeah, I said it.
10. The feeling of reassurance after reading one of the books, or watching one of the movies. Don't ask.
