A lot of the same toxic patterns lurked below (and often above) the text in older romances as well, the sort of puritan cultural underpinnings, but I feel like Twilight’s big Mormon fantasy (there was a whole breakdown on Livejournal from an ex-mormon back in the day, notably that vampires becoming white mirrors that Mormons think black people become white if they go to heaven) kept that stapled forcibly to the top of the genre going forward.
@@arbyswitch5580 At first I was confused what you meant then I looked up what the different twins have been up to, best thing I can summarize is that Cole was arrested for participating in George Floyd protests and Dylan is out here with his alpha nordic protein yogurt business
i mean twilight is a hodgepodge of fanfic tropes that were popular even back then, just all stitched together. i not super a mega fic inspired even more fics 😂
@@deekiu0326op is talking about how the massive success of 50 shades of grey _twilight fanfiction_ sparked studio interest in making books that were *originally fanfiction into movies which birthed After, originally harry styles fanfiction, from beautiful disaster’s studio
when I tell you I almost cried when I realized it was bad movies and a beat day...i've had an awful day full of awful people, and I just sat down with some ice cream and this came up on my sub page. i'm so happy.
funny that this came out right after lexi/newly nova did a breakdown of the book the first movie was based on lol. highly recommend checking that out, especially based on your opinion on the movie. the book is a lot worse and a lot less self aware than the movie it seems
gonna make another comment instead of tacking on to my first one: It's always odd to hear people be like, "Your love is the most powerful thing in the whole world, don't just wreak it!" and I'm like, "They've known each other for barely two months, and most of that was them sort of being friends" Also do Elvis weddings really marry people who are wasted?
i saw the poster for this movie as an ad for an upcoming event in one of our local movie theaters yesterday and i assumed it was like a stock photo of a kissing couple they had bought for the ad campaign and that they hadn‘t chosen which movie to play yet, so i was very surprised to see the thumbnail and title for this video today bc i didn’t even recognize that was dylan sprouse lmao
These movies are not wattpad movies. These are books written by jamie mcguire. I guess some things have come out about her and some ignorant comments she has made.
I imagine it's a weird coincidence, but Abby Travis is the real life name of a badass woman bass player who has played with a lot of big acts and fronted her own projects.
like...movies that are "just a bunch of stuff that happens" can be good. they don't have to be this. like, "paterson" by jim jarmusch? basically just a week in the life of a dude. and it's FANTASTIC.
KENNIE you should watch the new film "monkey man" its dev patels directorial debut!! But i was reminded of you bc he says in an interview that both oldboy and i saw the devil were inspirations for it!!
It took me seeing those blue eyes in that mud covered face to realize Rob Estes was playing Benny. IMDB confirmed & also tells me he played Ken in the After movies??? There has got to be better work out there for a '90s prime time soaps star. Also, I need to go see if Silk Stalkings is available on streaming anywhere now. I feel nostalgic
A fellow person of culture! Silk Stalkings is always my reference point for Rob Estes. I want to say that I was too young to be watching Silk Stalkings, but I truly can't really remember.
Not a gamer, wondering how I missed the book with the accent in the It Takes Two movie…😂 On that note, I think it would be interesting to see Kennie film a deep dive into the Mary-Kate and Ashley cinematic universe like she did with Bring It On.
Yeah I come from a line of really big breasted women and I thought I was skipped too and then within the last 2 years(I’m 32) I went from a DD to a DDDD/G … I’m LIVID 😩 lol
@@trashbasket11I’m not saying it’s the best time to get married but there are some couples who do and actually do work. However, those couples are actually healthy and happy, and didn’t get married in some drunk Vegas wedding. 😭😂
imagine how funny it would’ve been if they made a joke about dylan’s character looking like trevor in after and he goes “he looks like my twin. do i have a twin?” LIKE PLSSS not only an after joke but a sprouse twin joke that would’ve been SOOO CAMP
a full movie of whats basically an ADHD retelling of someones past few weeks. "Okay so basically we got married. wait first we went to vegas then this guy my dad was gambling with threatened me? we didn't know what to do so like we went to Mexico lol." like there is no plot cuz she probably used text to speech to write the story.
i feel it's even wilder to know this series isn't wattpad fanfiction but instead an actual real, published series from a shitty author (that i read as a teenager and definitely shouldn't have). the movies are much more tolerable and less problematic! hooray. anyway loved the video!!
also miguel is very clearly the better love interest. he's leagues more interesting than travis!! it's a crime his character wasn't properly introduced or used in this movie... i'm so tired of romantic dramas consisting of on-again-off-again straight couples in toxic relationships. wattpad or colleen hoover can keep it lol
We’re allowed to like it for what we thought it was back then 😂😂😂 sadly I grew up before the wedding book came out and I was too excited believing in her work so I bought the physical copy… I leant it to a friend and never asked for it back 😂😂😂😂 But yh somehow the movies are less toxic, and I was only slightly disappointed 🤣
It's like those movies that branch off of TV shows where the main characters go to a different country and nothing that happens there will affect the plot when they get back... but unsuccessful.
The whole concept of this movie fell apart for me instantly because when I saw it, I had literally just come back from a vow renewal in Vegas. I don’t think their wedding was even legally binding. It could've been but Vegas weddings are mostly a souvenir thing that couples do, and I'm pretty sure they aren't legally binding for this exact reason, so drunk idiots don't get married out of nowhere.
I love how just solely through Kendall I have been able to say say I've seen all these different movies when people ask, when in reality I've barely watched even a single second. Loving that for me lol. Less torture life. Thanks Kennie♥
I’m convinced there’s almost no plot because they literally said to the actors/crew “want to go on a beach vacation?” And every one said sure, we’ll figure the movie part out later.
I have seen parodies like these before, where the gags are just random chaos that happens and the joke is that things happen that are weird- rather than that things which are exaggarations of the typical expectations happens and that says something about the common tropes of a story. Like... if Pedrosa was meant to be the "seemingly perfect love rival" that shows up to create tension maybe he could have been RIDICULOUSLY perfect. Like, make a GAG out of the fact that he's everybody's friend within minutes of meeting them. He shows up, fires off a dazzling smile and greets the new arrivals and the girl IMMEDIATELY confesses something heavy to get off her chest, and he just retorts that very second with empathic and helpful advice. The guy feels jealous and goes all bad boy macho heated, "keep your hands off my girl!" "Your desire to monopolize people stemming from your parents neglect will only drive them further away, to truly love is to trust they will be there for you no matter your insecurities" "FUCK I HATE THAT YOU'RE RIGHT." "I know." Pedrosa gives a soulful smile and puts a comforting hand on the bad boys shoulder whereupon the bad boy punches himself in the face and runs away while shouting how he hit his tear canal, that's why he's crying! Hell, maybe that's why the former villain who put out a hit on her is now cool and mellowed out. He DID come with the intention of sabotaging her life and get payback but just as he's about to shoot her Pedrosa rides by on a horse (we don't ask where the horse came from) with a tray of food he's going to serve to some orphans that just so happens to be the exact food the villains mom used to make when he was little, his one happy memory of his tragic past, and the experience makes him instantly realize how far he's fallen and makes him dedicated to help out the female lead. Pedrosa is completely unaware of this, he has to focus on playing football with the orphans. And when all is said and done the girl turns Pedrosa down despite his smile being as warm and shimmering as the local beaches and his abs as sculpted as the red mountains, telling him that she and male lead are both hot messes who vibe with each other in a way that he is just too stable to understand,...and he gently but firmly explains that he never, not even ONCE, expressed any actual attraction to her during the stay. He was just polite, kind and understanding. Thinking people only act kind to people they're romantically attracted to is kinda weird. But instead we have titty flashing for no real reason, "we have Goop at home" and dwarf wrestling. Sure. I guess that's weird and unexpected... not sure it's actually FUNNY though.
