Twilight Themed New Years Resolutions
FearNet has Twilight themed New Year’s resolutions out, and some of them are great!! Check them out below:
Tired of the Twilight haters? Here are five key resolutions to make your 2010 another awesome year in unabashed Twilight obsession. If you’re sick of the same old New Year’s resolutions – lose weight, stop smoking, watch more good horror – I have a new challenge for you: take on one or more of these Twilight-oriented goals for 2010 and see how much more respectable your secret (or not so secret) obsession with Edward Cullen can become in your everyday dealings with haters. If everyone does their part, we can all help “normalize” the all-consuming, life-altering affliction known as Twilight mania in the New Year! We’ll no longer be second-class citizens in the eyes of the film world! (Especially if ticket sales stay consistent.)
Here’s how to start.
1. Resolve to think critically about Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Sun Tzu advised us to know ourselves and our enemy, and that’s where we should begin. We know why we love our sparkly vampires – the romance, the longing, the perfectly coiffed Robert Pattinson – but is there something to the criticism spewed by non-fans? Is New Moon anti-feminist? (Maybe-kinda-sorta, depending on how you see it.) Why does Twilight have a pro-abstinence message? (Stephenie Meyer’s Mormon. Get over it!) Make your own pro-Twilight debates stronger by knowing who you’re arguing against and what they have to say because, let’s face it, the Twilight films are fun but imperfect. And as a wise group of animated soldiers once said, knowing is half the battle.
2. Resolve to expand your horror movie horizons. Yes, sparkly vampires and mega-hot teen wolves are our own personal brand of horror movie heroin. But hey, we might also like other kinds of recreational narcotics, metaphorically speaking. (Apologies for the inappropriate comparison, but Stephenie Meyer started it.) In all seriousness, the world of Twilight could be a gateway to discovering the terrors that await our senses in the larger realm of horror. Want to kick the sexy up a notch? Try True Blood. Like your werewolves hairy and hunky? Watch for Benicio del Toro’s The Wolf Man. And maybe, slowly, you’ll inch your way up to (or back to) more macabre horror delights, the kind of truly terrifying tales where vampire boys and girls really bite.
