You guys. I can’t tell you how excited\/appalled I am for the Breaking Dawn<\/em> movie (part 1!) to come out. I am not a fan of Twilight <\/em>per se, but I did slog through all four books and I do love talking about them. (I always preemptively clarify that I read them while I was in the Peace Corps. I find that this cuts off judgment. Oh, what, you haven’t read all four Twilight <\/em>books? Yeah, I read them… while I was saving babies* in a developing nation<\/em>, NBD.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, so, I’d read all four books. (Note: in case it’s not clear, this post will contain spoilers for Breaking Dawn<\/em>.) Then after the first movie, lots of people were talking about Twilight<\/em>. Specifically, lots of people were talking about how effed-up Twilight<\/em> is. I’m not going to go too in-depth about that; I feel like other blogs<\/a> have already talked about how effed-up Twilight is<\/a> better than I could hope to do. But for a few years now, my party trick has been to say, “Yeah, sure, Twilight<\/em> is messed up, but do you know what happens in the fourth<\/em> book? Can I tell you?” And then I tell them and revel in their horrified stares and their adorable insistence that I am making it up. But no, my friends, I am not capable of making up the atrocities of Breaking Dawn<\/em>. Only Stephenie Meyer is.<\/p>\n

Now that the movie is approaching, I feel the way a friend of mine feels about Scientology. For a long time, her party trick was to explain all the hilarious details of Scientology<\/a> (“And there’s an alien lord named Xenu–yeah, seriously–“<\/em>) But now South Park and everyone else have made fun of Scientology. It’s old hat. Everyone knows how crazy Scientology is. And soon, everyone will know how crazy Breaking Dawn <\/em>is.<\/p>\n

I mean, seriously. THEY HAVE SEX UNTIL THE BED BREAKS. BELLA GETS INSTANTLY PREGNANT WITH A HALF-VAMPIRE BABY. JACOB FALLS IN LOVE WITH A BABY. !!!<\/p>\n

Anyway, the trailer. In case you have not seen it (or would simply like to revisit it), here it is:<\/p>\n
