Random Rant

It's been some time since I last enjoyed a fanfiction. I don't mean to brag in the sense that I write stories better than everyone else because, truth is, I DON'T. I can't pen anything that can be read, this blog for example. And that's precisely why I'm constantly reading works by other people, or even comments for that matter. But I'm not going to call myself an avid reader because I'm extremely picky with the materials I take in, regardless of it's fame.

• Twilight scared me away with its cheesy plot.
• Harry Potter... Well, I just lost interest. I was actually thinking "When will one of them just die?"
• I've never bothered with Chronicles of Narnia.

• I've never bothered with Lord of The Rings too.

• I personally feel that Brisingr of the Inheritance Trilogy wasn't that good but I have faith in the next book.

• Push a romance novel to me and I'll bust a hole through your head. It's best to rename the "Romance" sections to "Semi Pornographic" in book stores. Take a quick glance at the covers, don't call me immature or anything but with covers like that, what exactly are they trying to promote? The sexual scenes in the book or the story? I'll be clear, there are normally not much plot in such books. The covers are obviously meant to lure people deprived of significant partners. It's probably something like Twilight, you see. I've tried to read them but my brains will scream in protest. However, not all are absolutely bad. Once in a while, yes, only ONCE in a WHILE a good book from that genre will be out.

It's also rather hard to find nice fantasy books which aren't so cliche anymore. It's not possible to put Harry Pothead here as there are dozens of interesting concepts in it but I still don't like it. Yes, I was one of those wishing Harry would just die so I won't need to sit around and listen to girls gossip about how hot Daniel Radcliffe looks in the movie. I know that's got nothing to do with the movie but it's just annoying. Okay, back to the book. I'm not saying J.K. Rowling sucks. I just get the feeling that the series was dragged on a little too long. It is cliche at some points. It's like, you know they're going to do something. You just know. I like characters which often catch me off guard but it doesn't mean I approve of inconsistent personalities. Even if the character has a split personality, there's a limit to it. He can't be like Jesus for a minute and turn into Satan the next, that's what I mean.

I also have issues with stories that have absolutely no depth. Twilight included. Twilight was not counted as fantasy but it will be listed under "Nightmare" from now on. The first movie was bad. The second movie, I bet it's still awful. I doubt it's the director's fault. It's the book, New Moon, that is at fault here. I've seen lots of "Movies in Minutes" on Youtube. New Moon was pathetic. Your beloved glittery vampire Mr. Cullen leaves Bella because it's too dangerous for her to be with him. She drowns in misery. Jacob, your beloved werewolf tells her that he'll never leave her side and then, he vanishes. Bella gets depressed! Mr. Cullen and Jacob make a pact when they come back. The end. Oh, don't forget the scenes they strip in. That rakes in cash from delusional fangirls!

Twilight aside, there are much more films that have absolutely no depth. For example, Legion. It may have been good, the concept was pretty cool. God turning his back against humans? Well, it goes against the conventional. The angels look awesome, especially their wings and weapons. They're God's creations so shut up and stop bitching about their technology. God can do anything, remember? But the thing about the movie is, how did God turn people into zombies? You know, the granny, the ice cream man and the.. little kid(?) especially. In the movie, there are only two angels. Hey, what happened to the rest? Oh, never mind.

There's Michael and Gabriel. The film makes Gabriel sound like a complete boot licker of God, only eager to please and nothing else. Michael, on the other hand, defies God when He turns His back against the humans. Yay controversy! Michael loved humans and therefore took their side. Guess who sustained Michael's hope? A man named Jeep Hanson. Jeep loved a woman who was pregnant with another man's child and may not even love him the way he does for her. Jeep tried his best to bring his father outta his gloominess for five years after his wife left him. Okay, that's sitting damn fine in me. He sounds pretty chivalrous, pretty much the dream guy you would absolutely love to have. The problem? You won't care even if he dies. The characters are all pretty shallow. Kyle cares for children because he's a semi-divorced man with a kid. Point made. So how many times are you gonna make him look at little children? The woman, Sandra Anderson's a bitch. She caused Percy to die! What a disgrace to the name! Her husband's dead, so it's understandable she'll be an emo bitch but taking it out on her daughter? It's just like granny said! All she does is complain, complain, complain. No, it should be changed to "All she does is bitch, bitch, bitch, and bitch!" The daughter, Audrey, can at least be understood. Kyle can be understood too but his obsession with children is well... fatal. Charlie, well, don't get me started on her. She's okay. Her character's deep enough for you to worry about her. If only she'll stop being so damn stupid and stop smoking when she knows that she's carrying what could be mankind's future in her! I can't say much about Mr. Anderson as he died pretty early but I do pity him for having a bitch as a wife. However, he has no complaints so well, I guess I should retract my pity. Moving on to Michael again, well, it's safe to say he's the only character I could come to like. All the characters had guts, EXCEPT the bitch called Sandra Anderson, but I admired Michael the most. Take it anyway you want. I think it was awesome he was doing everything out of love. Love, people, love!

Do it like that!

Also, the movie felt disjointed at parts, especially towards the end. Before the end, it was a little smooth. How did Jeep learn how to read the symbols so damn fast? I don't know. And that's where I think the problem also lies...

I don't know how I've jumped from books to films. Probably my tendency to ramble on and on. My apologies if I have offended anyone. But if it's about Twilight, I'm not sorry at all. Feel free to flame me about Twilight, and see if you even get a reply.
