and then I spent way too many paragraphs on twilight

This is an entry in which I blather about Twilight! I can't even promise that it's coherent blathering, but my viewing of Breaking Dawn and the internet's predictable memetic reactions to it have given me thoughts and feelings.

( Said thoughts and feelings are under this cut, because I go on for a while. Also, spoilers through Breaking Dawn, if you care about that sort of thing and somehow haven't been spoiled. )

Or, my much shorter review: EDWARD, YOU WERE IN THE SUN IN RIO. WHY DID YOU NOT SPARKLE? YOUR SPARKLE HAS FAILED ME.
