The first Twilight movie at least had the lulz. It was bad, but just ridiculous enough to be fun. I mean Charlie was all hilarity all the time. Unfortunately, New Moon did not live up to its predecessor. New Moon was bad AND boring. It was all angsty mumbling and emo voiceovers. Until Michael Sheen showed up, that is. The five minutes he spent on screen were pretty much the best part of the movie. I wish that I could say his five minutes were worth the whole movie, but that would be all kinds of lying. Dakota Fanning was kinda awesome, too. So, like, six minutes of awesome.
It is sad, but true, watching Twilight makes me forget that I actually like Kristen Stewart. Granted, she doesn't have a lot of range, but she's a good actress. Adventureland, The Cake Eaters, In the Land of Women, Panic Room are all great examples of her being a good actress. Too bad Twilight sucks so hard that I forget. Rob Pattinson might be a good actor, too. I don't know. I liked him in Remember Me, despite the rest of the movie. But there's not much to go on. More evidence is required.
So, yeah ... Twilight: New Moon ... not so much.

lol poor KS. But yeah, RP did say that about Edward. Which is way more of an explanation the Meyer gives us, and RP's explanation makes more sense. But I don't really see it that much through his acting.
I'm impressed you're able to write Twilight, considering. But hey, good fic from you is good fic :o)
