Peoples’ ignorance is infinitely astounding.
First, New Moon isn’t going anywhere, its documented on film. You may not see it again but Twilight is hundreds of millions of “cult-classic” while the haters remain a minority. Its not solely a teen flick, when I saw both films in an LA theater %50 of the people were at least over 30 and several elderly couples attended.

Second, calling it a “vampire” movie is equivalent to calling Harry Potter a “wizard” movie or The Lord of the Rings” a “hobbit movie”. *******Its a story about seemingly doomed and forbidden love-a primary theme since the DAWN OF MAN-making conscious choices, trusting your intuition, seeking truth, love as a selfless action, the assets of tradition, chivalry and morality, the gravity, brevity and awe of life, the soul and the human condition. (certainly up there with Batman moral and literary standards).

Next, when people say “vampires don’t sparkle” I wonder if these people should be under psych evaluation. umm… Vampires don’t exist. Neither do hobbits or Batmen. If it’s the tradition of vampire lore bothering you then consider that lore is in constant evolution and vampires weren’t romanticized or sexualized until about 50 years ago. Hopefully the human palate for entertainment and knowledge evolves well beyond youth.

Last, the films are based on a series of books-a saga-and if you haven’t read them or seen Twilight, much of the film will go over your head. The Twilight Saga haters generally sound ignorant for assessing what they haven’t read. I love hearing the ethical dilemma: its not okay to watch a love story about a vampire who wants to “wait until he’s married”? Please.

Batman and Harry Potter make sense but New Moon doesn’t? *yawn* go read a book.

Sam’s right about TF2,

Because it was so rushed there was a ton of shortcuts taken on a lot of the scenes and while some scenes are amazing, some are not and look dated.

Yes I’m serious, some of the CGI is terrible, there is some shocking green screen sections in the dessert.

The CGI in Transformers 2 wasnt decent, some parts made it look pre phantom menace.”

You’re kidding me, right? The CGI was one of the two things that Transformers 2 did right, other than the action. The SFX in the film are Oscar worthy.

I am not into the whole twilight fad but My wife has read all the books. I saw the first and thought it did seem kinda just for teenagers but I didn’t think it was that “bad” as your making it out to be. I went to see “New Moon” and thought it was alot better than I was thinking it would be. I’m not a fan but I thought that move was pretty good. Not the best movie I’ve seen in my life but much better than the crap that came out this past year. The director did a good job and I like the forrest scene and the dramatic scene at the end. Kristen Stewart did a much better job carrying the film in this one than the first. I don’t understand all this hate about this move. It was better than that Transformers piece of crap.

3rd highest opening weekend of all time, $140 million dollars, there is just no arguing with that. While gross isnt by any means an indication of quality, someone out there must like it, and from a gross like that, it aint just teenage girls!

The hate here is just silly, let the fans have their day. It is just a movie, remember that, I have friends who hate comic book movies and they couldnt believe TDK made so much money. They just didnt get it.

So everyone calm down and just accept the facts.

Wow, you guys really need to get over yourselves. Clearly you have strong opinions, but you know what? So does everyone. Opinion is cheap, including yours. I know that is harsh, but it’s reality. If you think you have some right to think that only movies you think are high quality are going to gross well at the box office, you are a deluded megalomaniac.

The numbers are the numbers. Someone, somewhere, for some reason, likes this film. At the end of the day, that’s all the matters. If it made money, it’s good. Ex post facto. $$$ Bling bling. The fact of the matter is, anyone on this blog would make this movie themselves in exchange for the profit that it is going to generate.

That’s the beauty of capitalism, baby!
