What in Tarnation?

Did Emma Stone take career choice lessons from her best friend: Jennifer Lawrence and claim that movies that circulate around-sex- was the new "it" for movies?!!!! And I thought "No hard feelings" was awful. But this- my oh my! Both have its merits-good actors but god awful writing! No heart what's so ever in this awful piece! I don't know what's more awkward and embarrassing~ being in that theater alone while watching it or being in a full theater and watching....but I was the one all alone so it might be more embarrassing. It's basically porn~ over and over and over. Within I'd say the first 7 min~you see male genitals, and I frowned~ she's acting 4. But the hints of snickers from myself turned into "ok this is embarrassing" that turned into "oh god MORE sex?" Which turned into "MORE nudity?!!!" This movie is~ EH HEMMMM if- Tim Burton clashed with Lemony Snicket clashed with Victorian age clashing with futuristic realism clashing with Wednesday clashing with Barbie clashing with blind fashion designers, clashing with science clashing with porn and Frankenstein..... All in all~ In the words of the great goddess herself I would like to quote~Katharine Hepburn~ "It's filth. I am disgusted with the movies. DISGUSTED! They are kidding themselves into saying it's an intellectual pastime. BUNK!" Might be asking "then why did you go see it-heck why did you stay until the very end?" Because of the crazy hyped of reviews that were clearly written by teenagers it appears and I wasn't going to leave when I paid $14.....no wonder no one wants to see movies anymore in the theater~ what they're showing is garbage and no one wants to be THAT embarrassed into thinking they need to stay put because it's $14 spent.

This was and had to have been made by either extremely high people~ or nymphomaniacs that don't want to actually tell a good story. You can tell a very great story without the use of alllllllll the sex! Seriously! Just look at Hollywood during the Hays Code Era!!!!

It also felt they couldn't keep up with one plot, it threw in sooo many plots, "finding out about life" "pleasure" "love" "emotions" "Victorian tragedy". I felt like they tried to clump in 20 years of education down not only Bella's throat but mine as well. Learning as to why men torture women for pleasure, why bella's past life did what she did, what's really out there and why can't she go and see? I felt this was more of a tv series that clamped up scenes from each episode and just scraped it into a movie.
