Recently I wrote a piece in my Classic Movies column comparing and contrasting The Wolfman (2010), starring Benicio Del Toro, with its source material, 1941's The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney Jr.
Apparently I had it all wrong. The Wolfman is not a remake of a classic '40s horror film. It was totally ripped off from Twilight. And Universal Pictures needs to admit that they have done Twilighters everywhere a grave disservice. They also owe a, like, massive apology to Taylor Lautner and Rob Pattinson while they're at it.
Pardon my ignorance, and many thanks to Twi-hard Kayla Peterson for setting the record straight in her letter to George 'El Guapo' Roush at LatinoReview.com:
To whom this may concern:
This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a "were wolf". I don't see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it. How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet?
Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is "supposed" to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn't come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man. You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn't even make the top Movie for the charts; Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY oppinion [sic] and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks.
FREAKIN LAUTNER DID!
TEAM JACOB- cuz hes a REAL WEREWOLVE! [sic]

Of course, Kayla is TEAM JACOB, so she neglected to mention how Bram Stoker totally ripped off Stephanie Meyer when he created Count Dracula.
He's totally Edward without the sparkles.
