For the last few months, I have been working on a massive project for my everyday art class, which is a requirement for my film school...
I never wanted to read any of the shades of anything and honestly, I can say that about Twilight as well...
I've now watched Twilight more times than I care to admit for this, and I am super creeped out by E.L James' answer when she acknowledges the twilight film being the initial "inspiration" for her books, citing a midlife crisis.,

but I have to deal with both the books and films. I am thoroughly repulsed with fifty shades of grey but also the movies. I will give the movies credit for having probably the best soundtracks out there, but you need it when there is little dialogue and a lot of sex.. ugh
(Thank you so much btw for your recaps, even though I read all five shades of grey books... your insight was helpful. )
Anyway, Twilight is supposed to be re-released in the theaters, in October, and I've heard it will be Catherine Hardwick's directors cut so maybe this topic will be relevant again.
I know that shades of grey was originally Twilight fan fiction. I had never read fan fiction either until recently.. so this has been a challenging venture. Honestly, I was surprised, with how many excellent fan fiction writers and stories there are out there. They plug up plot holes, and make the character's um better people/vampires? Why HER story was chosen honestly baffles me.

Is EL James a literature pedophile? Kristen Stewart was 17 or 18 filming it, but she looks like a little girl! RPatz looks like whatever one would one call a 100-old /17-year-old vampire, despite being older in real life.
I mean I was in my early 20s when it first came out, but even today the fact she took that particular film and turned Edward into Chedward makes my skin crawl. Is Elena Lincoln the character she identifies with the most?
I'm disturbed, and a bit grossed out that the shirtless, suicidal Edward was the banner for Master of the Universe, Given Rpatz's v-shaped abs and his hip hanging pants in New Moon. Is it a coincidence that Ana fantasizes A LOT about Christian's V-shaped lower abdomen when puts on his, I'm about to beat you jeans? Which also happen to hang off his hips.
(By the time breaking dawn came out, I was entirely on board with how hot he well, used to be.)
Stephanie Meyer's books don't depict the healthiest relationship (or stable characters and situations) but what kind of mind thinks that way.
Did she see him call himself a masochist and decide to make Christian a sadist? Argh! Needed to Vent!
