TWILIGHT 2......ANYBODY GOING TO SEE IT?

As a friend of mine told me, "The Twilight series is like a 13-year-old's wet dream."

You live a life, tardis.

I got dragged along to the midnight launch with Joanna, and while we were queuing (at half pissing ten for a midnight showing), I noticed that there were maybe three, four, other guys there, a couple of them had been dragged along by their girlfriends and the others just plain looked and sounded gay.

The entire movie I was surrounded by girls squealing and giggling while Jo just sat there crushing my hand.

I've seen Twighlight, or rather, I was bound to a chair, may as well have been with chains and duct tape, and made to watch Twighlight, and it seemed OK. It wasn't terrible and everything seemed to resolve itself, even if it was really predictable.

New Moon seemed to just set a bunch of things up and go "Actually, I'm not going to resolve any of this so that people will HAVE to bother with the third one, but I better end it with (if you've seen/ read it, you know) so that the fangirls will still be excited anyway!"

It really didn't impress me because it just didn't seem to go anywhere, it's like the entire film served as the first arc of the next film, which I guess is a commodity whenever there's a series.

In Twilight's defense though, women prance around half-naked in movies all the time.

John Cusack was such a great father in that movie.

"Welp, let's check it out!"

"Woah, dude. Freaky. Let's walk RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE."

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon dawned with a hot-blooded $142.8 million on approximately 8,500 screens at 4,024 sites over the weekend, charting as the third highest-grossing opening behind only The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3 and the biggest of 2009."

later on...

"New Moon distributor Summit Entertainment's exit polling indicated that 80 percent of the audience was female and 50 percent was under 21 years old, which means the sequel skewed more female and younger than the first Twilight."

Remind me to write a vapid teen romance novel in the future.
