(no subject)

After coming across a historical marker sign and having it turn out to be about Twilight, I decided to finally watch the movie. I decided that I needed to watch it understand modern culture. The world building made no sense and the plot was incoherent. I guess whatever was such catnip to people was in the books, which I wont read. But man, I've watched some seriously jank and low production values genre stuff for reasons, but this was a hot mess by my standards. The baseball scenes? WTF? Also, when I saw images of Edward in that baseball outfit I assumed it was an edit due to a fandom in-joke or maybe something from a commercial.

Also, the obvious Mormon coding started jumping out at me way earlier than I expected.

The bits with Oregon City in it were barely there, but other scenes were obviously Oregon and not Washington. I will also never get over this whole 'vampires are obvious in sunlight so Washington is safe because it's so rainy except for a few days' thing because it is so far from reality it's insane. Like, the world building is pure nonsense, but also what is this weird and geographically incoherent version of the PNW they are showing?
