24 Questions I Have After Re-Watching The 'Twilight' Series
https://www.hulu.com/watch/0984bd81-c037-49b1-a42a-1cbe93a1a4e9

This past weekend I came to a sudden realization that "Twilight" is still a series that exists and I have access to all five movies. I, like many gross middle schoolers, read all the books after my mom gave me permission and I swooned at how amazing I thought they were. And I won't even lie about it: I definitely fantasized about meeting a guy like Edward Cullen. And now, roughly ten years later, I re-watched the films out of pure curiosity and boy oh boy do I have some questions about what I saw.

1. First of all, what was Kristen Stewart's face reactions?

Obviously, she's a much better actress than she was ten years ago. But we all have to admit that the face reactions, over-the-top sighs, and rapid blinking were just a little too much.

2. Why was Bella so darn clumsy?

Summit Entertainment

There's no way anybody can be that clumsy and just that bad at staying on their own two feet! Falling down every once in a while is decent characterization, but for it to keep happening over and over and over is a little ridiculous.

3. Why does everyone in the new school know who Bella is immediately?

Summit Entertainment

This confusion may lie in the fact that I went to a high school where just my graduating class had 700 students, and the idea of anybody being aware that there was a new student on campus was slim to none. But was the school really just that small that everyone immediately knew who she was and had to treat her like a celebrity?

4. Can we talk about why this was Edward's reaction after first seeing Bella?

Summit Entertainment

Edward has zero chill, there is no reason for him to be that extra with his reaction to her walking into the room.

5. Was "It's the fluorescents" really the best excuse Edward could give when Bella questioned him about his eyes changing color?

Summit Entertainment

You could've just told Bella she was tripping instead of making yourself look stupid with that lame excuse.

6. Why did Edward tell Bella they shouldn't be friends after he blatantly ignored her and looked like he wanted to vomit at the first sight of her?

Summit Entertainment

It's not even like he was acting remotely friendly to begin with.

7. The scene where Edward acts like he's the worst monster imaginable, but then he just starts...sparkling?

Summit Entertainment

Sorry that your diamond encrusted body doesn't immediately shout "Mass Blood-Sucking Murderer".

8. Also, the chimes sound effects is a little much.

This scene is ridiculous to begin with, and the idea of a vampire sparkling in the sunlight is already difficult to grasp in the first place, and the added chime sound effect makes this scene more comical than anything else.

9. And why did everyone just overlook the fact that Edward watched Bella while she slept? Why were we all okay with that?

Summit Entertainment

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING TO SWOON OVER, BELLA. YOU HAVE A STALKER.

10. Also, how does Edward drive? He must need a driver's license and for that you need a SSN and a birth certificate and Edward's been alive since 1901, so how did that work out at the DMV?

Summit Entertainment

These are the questions I need answers to.

11. And why did Edward keep repeating high school? Is he trying to torture himself? 

Summit Entertainment

My dude just enroll in college, you look old enough to be there. Why would anyone want to keep repeating high school, it makes no sense!

12. "You better hold on tight, spider monkey." Who allowed that line to get past the first draft?

Summit Entertainment

All I want to know is how Robert Pattinson managed to say that with a straight face.

13. Why can't Emmett sit down in a car?

Summit Entertainment

Clearly, these vampires have to be driving without a license because I see no possible way for them to realistically get one with their birth records, so why risk getting pulled over by a being a big old dumbo and just not sitting in the seat and wearing a seat belt?

14. Bella's response to Edward telling her he's designed to kill and wants to kill her is "I don't care"...Again, why did we think that was normal?

Summit Entertainment

Girl, this isn't a flaw that you can just overlook in a man!

15.  The paper cut scene where Edward yeets Bella into a wall...Yeah, what was that?

Summit Entertainment

Not only did Edward unnecessarily throw Bella into a wall, but he escalated the situation by throwing her into some glass vases no less!

16. Why couldn't Jacob wear a shirt in any of the movies?

Summit Entertainment

Was there not enough in the costuming budget for them to supply Taylor Lautner with a shirt?

17. And why, why, why did Bella tell Jacob to kiss her and then told Edward she didn't know what happened?

Summit Entertainment

I'll tell you what happened, you literally just made out with someone who's not your boyfriend while your actual boyfriend stood 20 feet away.

18. Why was Bella more excited to see Jacob at her wedding than she was walking down the aisle to see Edward?

Summit Entertainment

19. Just look at how happy she is to see him.

Summit Entertainment

WHY WAS EDWARD NOT GIVEN THE SAME COMPASSION?

19. And why was everyone all on board for a 17-year-old Bella to get married?

Summit Entertainment

My parents would never.

20. Did Edward have to be that extra and break the headboard/demolish the entire room?

Summit Entertainment

Think of the people who work in housekeeping who have to clean that up...

21. Can we also talk about the horrible CGI effects on Renesmee?

Summit Entertainment

In what galaxy does this look like a normal human child?

22. Jacob imprinting on Renesmee is a little much, right?

Summit Entertainment

Well, it's still weird!

23. And can we all agree that Renesmee is the worst name in the world?

Summit Entertainment

To be fair if it were a boy, Bella was going to name it EJ (Edward Jacob)...so maybe Edward should've held the reigns on the baby names.

24. Why do these movies even exist?

I wish I didn't return to my middle school years and re-watch these movies.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
