It would also be nice if Stephenie would have taken the concept of suspension of belief when she wrote this series as seriously as people who actually KNOW and LOVE the concept of Vampires do. How ANY of you see this story as creative when it obviously is NOT is amazing. That's how ignorant you are about Vampires (like Stephenie) OR that's how deceptive obsessions can be.Catherine Mostlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373360094786643055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588692465519021852.post-82749318012295439382012-12-11T16:18:51.280-08:002012-12-11T16:18:51.280-08:00This sage is a wonderful fantasy series. I love it...This sage is a wonderful fantasy series. I love it because it is so well thought out. I love the characters because they act unselfishly and lovingly so much of the time. Stephenie's solutions and resolutions are wonderfully creative. I love the actors who played the characters because they really cared about them and often found creative ways to get deeply into them and then not worry what the critics said. For example: the New York Times said Kristen Stewart was 'stiff' in Breaking Dawn Part 2. Hello! She played the part of a newborn who not only avoided the greatest pitfall of a new vampire(killing lots of humans) but found ways to live the life of a mature vampire when it came to her husband, her little daughter and her new family. I'd say Kristin's intensity in the role was right on. Stephenie took the time and effort to shepherd the making of the movies so that the true essence would not be lost. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of us treated each other and all our projects with so much love and care?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588692465519021852.post-54317495807648432722012-12-10T18:22:10.061-08:002012-12-10T18:22:10.061-08:00DO keep in mind, however... for every ONE grammeri...DO keep in mind, however... for every ONE grammerical or literary mistake you may find with my writing, I'm SURE I can find MANY MORE within Stephenie Meyer's writing that you've ALL been so BRILLIANT at overlooking.Catherine Mostlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373360094786643055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588692465519021852.post-85831016652569070992012-12-10T18:17:12.931-08:002012-12-10T18:17:12.931-08:00Hmmmm...

And don't we already have enough of that going on?"<br /><br />The reason WHY I continued to push this blog after this PR scandal started was because I KNEW what was coming and I've been MONITORING us like some sort of Scientist who actually knows what the hell she's doing all this time, LoL!<br /><br />No, I DON'T know what I'm doing... But I can SEE that IF you're all thinking about THIS SUBJECT - as unpleasant as IT IS; it's a BETTER thing for our brains to be thinking about than continuing to overly-hate OR overly-love Kristen Stewart.<br /><br />THIS is a subject we SHOULD be spinning about.<br /><br />Our MINDS are ALREADY SET in our obsessions - no one is going to be able to change ANYONE's mind about ANYTHING! (Trust me, I have personal experience with how stubborn you Twihards ARE, ha!)<br /><br />But acknowledging our insanity over this series, holding the professionals responsible for it accountable, and learning/teaching through these mistakes seems like a pretty good idea to me - and an awfully grown-up thing to do. :)<br /><br />But like I've said... If anyone has any other ideas aside from the petion, I'm listening. *I* would just LOVE to see Steph take SOME responsibility for all this.Catherine Mostlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373360094786643055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588692465519021852.post-92152156690274008262012-10-18T19:42:35.808-07:002012-10-18T19:42:35.808-07:00Sorry, I'm going to elaborate... *My* issue wi...Sorry, I'm going to elaborate... *My* issue with Stephenie Meyer and her publisher and production company NOW has ALOT more to do with their LACK of RESPONSE to this situation.<br /><br />I've heard MANY ladies go on and on about how either Kristen or Robert should be saying something... Maybe by putting out some sort of statement letting people know what is EXACTLY going on, etc.<br /><br />But, WHY should THEY?!<br /><br />Stephenie is the NEXT BEST THING to Bella for Twihards - she is the ORIGINAL Bella in our minds. She could have said just a couple of soothing sentences to our girls while all this was coming down or at some point afterwards. She could have ACTED like she CARES (and yes, I suggested it to her NICELY... Whether Seth passed on my message is unknown, he didn't bother to respond).<br /><br />I realize that what Kristen did was NOT cool and I am certainly NOT condoning her actions. But we're ALL VICTIMS of this stupid PR Stunt and probably Robert and Kristen most of ALL.<br /><br />They have ALWAYS been extra-hounded, and the PapSmears were FINALLY able to get a good bash on them. It's NOT Kristen's fault that WE are in PAIN over what SHE did!<br /><br />This is a situation that should have been discovered and dealt with IN PRIVATE between Kristen and Rob. The paps TOOK whatever they MAY have HAD and p*ssed all over it, Ladies - in a VERY underhanded way!!<br /><br />And while things MAY have ended for Robert and Kristen eventually for any number of reasons (including this Rupert scandal)... I'm sure this kind of FANFAIR as they are gliding out from under the SUCCESS of The Twilight Franchise's CLUTCHES is about as FUN as it can possibly be for BOTH of them.<br /><br />And NOW they're taking photos of them from a DISTANCE while they're supposedly in the PRIVACY of their own HOME as of TODAY! (Damn, I'm MAD about that, ha!!)<br /><br />The petition hurts NO ONE but The Franchise... Why is it so hard for you to shift blame where it belongs and hold them accountable for all this? NOTHING changes about Breaking Dawn, why would it?!<br /><br />I KNOW I'm a ridiculous optimist, but *I* only see GOOD THINGS coming out of it for EVERYONE. And it DOESN'T MATTER "what side" of this argument you're on. We can ALL SEE how NUTS SOME of us ARE over our obsessions and we're in PAIN over it.<br /><br />The SIDE you're ON doesn't matter - you can love OR hate Twilight; but everyone can be MAD about HOW we're feeling right now and realize WHY we're feeling this way.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned... All arguments and debates surrounding this story are LONG OVER. This blog is only up here NOW so people who can't see this stuff can have it explained to them - MANY people don't even REALIZE they are flailing in an obsession!<br /><br />We're onto a different subject, Ladies - holding irresponsible companies accountable for professional negligence in causing our preventable obsessions.Catherine Mostlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373360094786643055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588692465519021852.post-9261282269556807202012-10-18T18:57:15.037-07:002012-10-18T18:57:15.037-07:00If you get MAD at what I'm writing within thes...If you get MAD at what I'm writing within these posts - STOP READING and just go glance down along the side links of this blog. You DO NOT have to take MY word for ANYTHING in here, it's ALL ALREADY been PROVEN!!<br /><br />Your defense that the books shouldn't have to be written right because "teenage girls don't talk that way" is illogical.<br /><br />We SEND our kids to school to LEARN the three R's, we make them get good grades, we monitor their progress, and then we send them to COLLEGE where they HOPEFULLY LEARN even MORE - like HOW to WRITE what you KNOW about or DO literary RESEARCH. These things apparently slipped Stephenie Meyer's mind when she was writing Twilight - DESPITE her degree!!<br /><br />I have mentioned this before... I REALLY wish a few good English teachers would GRADE JUST the FIRST FIVE chapters of Twilight. Stephenie wouldn't even SORT of get an "A".<br /><br />We HOLD the HOMEWORK STANDARDS of our kids HIGHER than what we expect out of this GROWN WOMAN with a COLLEGE LITERARY DEGREE who managed to HURT MILLIONS with her irresponsible "saga" - and NOW even moreso with all of her FANS flailing over these PREVENTABLE OBSESSIONS.<br /><br />Obviously, despite all this... YOU had a GREAT EXPERIENCE reading these books and watching these movies, Gigi. If only ALL of us had that same experience things WOULD be different.<br /><br />THAT'S what's wrong with the way Steph wrote Twilight. I'm NOT on a HIGH HORSE, lady... *I'm* someone who has actually cried REAL TEARS over this stupid story (although not NEARLY as many as some of these YOUNG GIRLS who have been hurt over this Robsten PR Stunt, have).<br /><br />I REALLY don't give a flying fig if you don't care about MY PAIN which is LONG GONE by now... But every other girl - young OR older - who has cried REAL TEARS over this silly saga for WHATEVER reason should NEVER have had even ONE reason to begin with!<br /><br />If YOUR girls never cried over any of this dysfunction and NEITHER you NOR them are in ANY KIND of emotional turmoil - then count yourself lucky.<br /><br />I REALLY cannot IMAGINE why ANY of you are STILL defending this story... You're ONLY defending your own PRIDE at this point and you pretty much look like fools to the WORLD doing it. Stephenie Meyer has already GOT her PILE of GOLD - she doesn't care about any of us as DEMONSTRATED by her LACK of RESPONSE to her HURTING FANS in this ENTIRE scenario.Catherine Mostlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373360094786643055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588692465519021852.post-54119645805196764912012-10-18T16:08:44.923-07:002012-10-18T16:08:44.923-07:00Ok I'll admit I couldn't even get thru the...Ok I'll admit I couldn't even get thru the whole page before my blood pressure went sky high! First of all, no you don't have the right to know any actors private business, I don't care how much money they make. THEY are entitled to a life outside of the shows/movies they act in. Second, all of the twilight books (except Midnight Sun) are from Bella's point of view. In other words, a teenage girl. I don't know any teenage girl (and I have 2) that talk properly much less think that way. I don't expect War and Peace when I read YA books. I read them because most of them think outside of the box. Also why can't Stephanie rewrite Vampires and shape shifters? Who says fiction has to be written in stone? After all Anne Rice kind of started us all down this path having Louis drink animal blood. Get off your F%^&*NG high horse and leave it all alone. All you are doing is giving the haters more reasons to hate. And don't we already have enough of that going on?Gigi's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978628434801378469noreply@blogger.com
