Gone With the Wind vs. Twilight



Here I am - working diligently on Davey's truck in the snow.

Which means the hood is propped up, but I'm inside watching "Gone With the Wind" with my sister.

I forgot what a good ass movie this is!

This is how romance should still be portrayed. Mind games, pride, clashing personalities, roaming desires, and the occasional prostitute. In a word - attainable and realistic.

I think that people set themselves up for failure when they strive for the "romance" found in movies today - especially for the youngins.

Twilight.

Fucking Twilight is what people want. I just saw the first Twilight recently and still haven't seen the second.

While I enjoyed it more than Matt advises I should admit to - I don't watch it and swoon.

I don't think now that is true love.

Know what I think? I sit and watch and wonder:

"Hey. This guy has been claiming to be 17 since 1918. So he must have been born in 1901 which really makes him 109. What does a 109 year old man have in common with a 16 or 17 year old girl?"

Everyone looks at Edward Cullen and says: Ooooh. What a sexy sexy vampire!

I look at Edward Cullen and think: Ewwww. What a dirty dirty old man.


Well, back to the car fixin'
fiddle dee dee.

  3. well i'm glad you're watching twilight cuz i'm not ever gonna effin do it! not since that capitol D (who i later discovered was FAKING his scottish accent) said I looked like a vampire because I was "dressed nice with a leather trenchcoat and black hair" . . . I mean, I know he was an IDIOT but that doesn't make it ok! but i might watch it if it actually were a dirty old man and not some ugly person pretending to be cool
