Jay, you're not allowed to issue your own man cards if you've watched that terrible movie.
I will fully admit that I've seen the first Twilight movie... but to laugh at it's ridiculous stupidity. The acting is dreadful. Kristen Stewart has not, and will never be able to act. Furthermore, she always plays the same exact roles in every movie she's in--awkward, sorta depressed weirdo teenager. Yeah, she plays the awkward part well, but something tells me that isn't her acting. She can't even portray happiness well. In the movie when her dad gets her a truck, it appears like she's trying to be really excited over it, but quite honestly it just looks like hammy, unconvincing acting...and she doesn't even sound remotely excited.
Rob Pattinson is hardly any better. Though this has nothing to do with his acting ability, he's ugly as fuck. Even without the pale ass makeup, he's still ugly. And he's not a particularly good actor either. In Harry Potter, he doesn't even stick out in my mind as far as his acting goes. He was just there to be a pretty face and die. Then in Twilight, he just plain sucks. And don't even get me started on that gay glittery scene where he sparkles in the sunlight. I was laughing for 10 minutes straight over that. Very little of the acting in the movie seems very genuine at all. Maybe the acting improves as the movies go on, but somehow I doubt that.
Even the plot is the most ridiculous thing ever. I don't understand how girls can fawn over this, when quite honestly it's kinda creepy. He creepily goes into her house and WATCHES HER WHILE SHE SLEEPS. They barely know each other for goodness sakes! She gets her panties in a bunch when Edward doesn't show up to school for a week and somehow she feels like its the end of the world. SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE GUY. LITERALLY. SHE SAW HIM FOR ONE DAY. AND ON THAT DAY HE LOOKED AT HER LIKE SHE SMELLED HORRENDOUS. WTF MAN?! Even a portion of the book I read said something along the lines of, he told her he'd go into her house, get her car key, drive her car to school, and leave it in the ignition...all so she could get home since Edward was going off somewhere with his vampire-y family. Pretty much everything about that sounds creepy and illegal. It's a stupid plot, and a terrible book. If you want to read good literature, read 1984, Catch 22, A Brave New World, the list goes on and on. If you want to read ridiculous drivel that belongs in the trash, read Twilight.
For anyone who wants a laugh:

Wow. Was not expecting to go on a Twilight rant, but I guess my anger and annoyance from this weekend bubbled over, so there you go lol. Don't worry, though Jay. I'm still your friend, with or without your mancard.

hahaha.
