My Geode Twin, Caroline, recently asked me what was up with all the hype surrounding the movie "Twilight." I have to admit, until she mentioned it, I didn't even really think that much about it. But, of course, once she put the bug in my ear, I simply HAD to look into it. So, I went to IMDB.com and looked it up, and was confronted with a one sentence description that literally had me LOL'ing, to the point I had to find a secluded spot to quell the guffaws.
According to IMDB:
A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire.
That's right; falling in love with a vampire is now a high risk endeavor. And it used to be so innocent and quirky to fall in love with a vampire, before AIDS came along and ruined the whole living/undead coupling thing.
But, I'll just let Caroline and myself do the rest of the tearing down of this almost-certain box office bomb:
Ryan says: I just LOL'ed so hard, I had to leave my cubicle.
Caroline says: At what?
Ryan says: At the one sentence teaser IMDB gives for "Twilight."
Ryan says: "A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire."
Ryan says: Really? That's not a low-risk venture?
Caroline says: I bet her license plate is VAMPLUV
Ryan says: BLDSCKR.
Caroline says: BATTY
Ryan says: Honest to God, with a tagline like "A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire," you know all the hype is just intended to mask what is sure to be a Grade A cinematic stinker.
Caroline says: Twilight: This movie bites!
Ryan says: Twilight: This movie sucks so hard!
