Twilight Sequel Breaks Records

[Cherry Cola]

a sign of the times?
fangirls sat everywhere in the cinema when I saw it last night :|

Same for me (was watching it purely so I could do a review of it). Worst part is that at the ending, where Edward tells Bella you-know-what, everyone made the worlds largest gasp, then starting applauding. Worst. Audience. Ever.

I'm just looking forward to getting my hands on this for the Rifftrax value.

This terrible wrong that has been unleashed upon the world has effectively ruined vampires and werewolves for me. I have never read the books or saw the movies and I never will because from what I heard it sounds about the single most idiotic concept ever. Why the hell does he have to sparkle?...Just why?!

Edit: MovieBob's review summed up my feelings very nicely...better than I could even.

 

[hittite]

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

My plans are almost complete!

Soon, by harnessing the power of fangirls, I shall possess the most powerful superweapon IN THE WORLD!

I only saw the first one once (thank God I haven't seen it since) and it was the fourth worst movie I ever saw.

You can't just leave it like that, which three beat it?

Breaking records is nothing, all it means is hype or following. What matters are reviews.

Uh, no. Actually when you're in the business of making money, reviews mean little if you have five boatloads of cash thanks to all the records you just broke.

The third worst ever was Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire (I haven't seen Half-Blood Prince).
It was nothing like the book and nothing short of god-awful.
The second worst was Spiderman 3. This was so bad, so utterly putrid, that for the longest time I thought it was going be number 1 forever. Emo-spidey caused me to puke (quite literally, although bad shellfish was also part of the equation).
I thank Bob and all his mighty designs for the fact that I can't remember the name of my #1.
The less people know about it, the better. It was this god-awful American Pie-rippoff I was forced to watch once at a party. The main character was a fat prick who didn't appreciate his friends (until he'd gone through the movie's ordeals, obviously, after which he finally stops treating them like shit); his sidekick actually dumped him for this half-way into the movie but then refuses to stick with his guns and has a tearful reunification at the end (nausea returns, this time without the shellfish); the nerd-character actually goes on to save the day, and becomes a cool guy in the end; the cops are consistently depicted as bad guys, except at the end where they reveal they were former party-goers themselves; guns are glorified throughout the film and the notion that alcohol is an absolute requirement for a succesful party is hammered into your skull again and again throughout the movie, except (again) at the end, where they quickly shove in a hasty "don't do under-age drinking" propaganda-piece. Most of the movie's "humor" came from piss-poor sexual references, and accidental violence. But what pissed me off the most was the knowledge that the lead "actor" probably made more money by standing around saying the word "fuck" and being a generally unlikeable cockbend for two hours than I make in an entire year of providing therapy to people with OCD or clinical depression.

If you know the name of that movie, please don't remind me, as I really just want to forget about it.

Why, oh why, oh why.
Its times like these I dislike being female, with all the fan girls running around sporting "Team Edward" tops. It makes me want to cry.
The only reason i'm going to watch this movie is to see if its as crap as the first one. Even though it'll be another 2 hours of my life i'll never get back. Not at the cinema though mind, i'm not giving them my hard earned money, that'll go against every moral fibre in my body.

I wouldn't even bother, it's probably just the same crap with a bigger budget, save your sanity and avoid it. That's just my advice.

I think i already lost my sanity to the first one

*Sigh*

Has been quoted a few times now but this is the only post I'd answer with to this thread.
Not much more needs to be said...

At the moment it's just broken the opening records, and there really isn't much else on atm to draw the masses. Time will tell if it will pull in the most big bucks.

 

[Darth Pope]

Surprise, Surprise. I already knew I was going to have to stay away from the theaters for about a month after this came out and this just confirms it.

Further proof that tween girls run all forms of media.

It is why Titanic was so huge. My professor in college once told us the secret to mountains of gold. "Feed the 14 year old girl demographic."

This is a group that will see a movie in theater ten times. They will see it with their friends and their friends and their friends' friends' friends' former roommate. It doesn't have to have plot, it just has to have something trite and pretty. It has to force the viewer to believe in impossible romantic bullshit that is contrived and hopelessly unrealistic.

At least Titanic was somewhat, kinda tolerable... Okay, I can't say that with a straight face. Now I just wish I could swallow my pride and write a tween novel to bury Meyer... Oh and get the motivation to brand myself a heretic to my ideals.

And remove what is left of my dignity.
Scoop out some of my brain.
*sigh*
Hit my face with a hammer a few times.
Fall down some stairs.
Get divorced since I am sure Lynn wouldn't tolerate having a writer for the tween demographic in her bed.
Realize I could never look my sons in the eye again.

Yaaaaa, I'd prefer not. Somebody else can go ahead and outwrite Meyer at her own game and make an enviable mountain of cash. -_-

Titanic, adjusted for inflation, is one of the most successful movies of all time and grossed more money than any other movie to date(May not be true, s'what I read from IMDB). Now we have Twilight.

You'll notice that both play off the impossible love angle and "cute guy" motif. There is a formula to this and it is nothing short of alchemy. Turning something useless into pure gold.
