Murky twilight

Rating: 4/10 (8 November 2009)

I have not read Stephenie Meyer's much-discussed, beloved and hated mega-bestseller. I am not hater of Twilight either. Actually, people polluting net with such "literature" like "fat Mormon beep who should be killed" are - grrr! - pottymouthed, weightist filth, and potty-mouthed, weightist filth belongs in the sewers. Seriously. And yes, every vampire book and movie uses different rules: for example, vampires of folklore and classic literature like Dracula and Carmilla walked in sunlight before 1922 Nosferatu. However, my problem with Twilight is the total lack of entertainment value. Love story between human girl (Kristen Stewart) and vampire boy (Robert Pattinson) is a plain, drab story of teen infatuation, with ugly washed-up colours and pale make-up on boy's face. There is no style, atmosphere or fun. Thereis no romanticism. Visuals are drab every-day life with some supernatural action. Perhaps it worked little better as a novel.
