Re: Stephen King pwns Stephanie Meyer FGJ
What's funny about the Twilight saga (f you can call it a saga) is that it's based on a wetdream she had. She dreamt one night about this girl (who in interviews she's stated that she molded off herself when she was younger) who was laying in a field with a vampire. Actor Rob Pattinson had this to say about the book.
When I read it, I was convinced Stephenie was convinced that she was Bella, and it was like a book that wasn’t supposed to be published. It was like reading her sexual fantasy, especially when she said it was based on a dream and it was like, ‘Oh I’ve had this dream about this really sexy guy,’ and she just writes this book about it. Like some things about Edward are so specific, I was just convinced, like, ‘This woman is mad. She’s completely mad and she’s in love with her own fictional creation.’ And sometimes you would feel uncomfortable reading this thing. It’s kind of a sick pleasure in a lot of ways.
In short? Her own personal fanfic.
She then devoted the next three months on writing this book, and it was published. Three months... THREE MONTHS. Surely you'd want to dedicate moar time to something that's like a baby to you. But no. Three months is ample time enough for a book. Maybe if she spent at least 6 it'd be more readable.
But that's not all kids!!
She hasn't read a single vampire book. She's stated in an interview that she hasn't read a vampire book because she knows she'll get upset if they're too similar or too off topic from her books. This may very well explain why her vampire's
- don't die or even get fazed by sunlight
- sparkle
- don't sleep
- have venom
- produce sperm
- etc
Smeyer doesn't exactly feel like doing the fourth book, due to the lack of "infant's who have full awareness like Renesmee". She also doesn't want to do the child n CGI because it won't look real. lolwut. Given the fact that the budget of the movie was small, and the director was shit, the whole movie looked crap as far as realism goes. Edward was supposed to be a fucking discoball as far as sparkles go, and they just made the film a little grainy and thus.. he "sparkled."
And last but not least, Smeyer's last ditch attempt about her vampires. I can't find for the life of me where it was (pretty sure it was an anti-Twilight group on Facebook that's been deleted) but there was an interview somewhere on the nets where Smeyer explained SCIENTIFICALLY why her vampires sparkled. Going on and on to say about blood cells and atoms and the hardness of the skin and reflections... and when later questioned about something else, she refuted that "they're fictional fantasy creatures." Contradiction? I think so.
In short, book sucks, move blows. Everything can be summarized in three minutes. Good morning. Good afternoon. And good night.
