This feels (and looks like) the boy band craze of the ’90s, and will probably have the same longevity or long term meaning.

People who think this is “sad” or calling them names are sooooooo stupid…you cry because business is slow, but cry when there is commercial product that entertains people. Unless you have an Oscar on your desk, stfu! There is finally an exciting movie phenomenon… And you’re still not happy… Oh if these kids would just turn out in the tens of millions to see crash or milk… Gimme a break!

I would maintain that neither Crash nor Milk was a very good movie. Now, if these kids would show up in droves for a rerelease of THE HOLY MOUNTAIN…then we might be on to something.

Hunter D, you are entitled to your opinion but both Crash and Milk were Oscar calbier films and are widely considered great films.

I am SO glad my daughter is only 18 months old, and this crap will be long forgotten and the O-NEG hopefully turned into guitar picks by the time she’s a teenager. I will teach her that NO movie and NO actor is worth sleeping on a dirty floor for…

“Movies aren’t some great piece of art, they are a just product, produced and sold”
I must say, that’s a pretty depresseing way of looking at a medium that has brought us ‘products’ like The Godfather, Casablanca, Seven Samurai, La Dolce Vita, Some Like it Hot and Schindler’s List. To name but a few.
Having said that, I think you’re actually on the right track concerning this whole Twilight-’saga’. New Moon is not a film, it IS a product. A marketing concept aimed at separating adolescent girls from their hard-earned babysitting money. And they’re playing this game to perfection. As long as they’ve got strapping young lads walking around all bare-chested and hunky, who needs story, character-development or even half-decent filmmaking?
I mean, come on, everybody knows the books are crap. The films are crap. This sh*t ain’t gonna last. In twenty years time, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings will still be celebrated, and Twilight will deservedly stand on a dusty shelf next to Roller Shoes, mood rings, Vanilla Ice and the Macarena.

Remember when Vampires were scary? Bela Lugosi? Christoper Lee?

C’MON – YOU GOTTA LOVE THESE PHOTOS!! JUST THINK – with the hundreds of millions of Dollars Summit Entertainment is going to make off this movie – just think they’ll increase the amount of films they’ll be making this year & next year and the year after that! THAT’S WORK, YOU MORONS. THAT’S MORE JOBS – MONEY TO KEEP OUR HOMES, PAY OUR BILLS, GET OUR KIDS THROUGH SCHOOL.
All you jerks who dislike this movie – fine – but you should admit that it’s a great bonus for the industry, the workforce of Hollywood.
Bow down and kiss Stephanie Myers’s feet.

This illustrates just to what degree Hollywood, MTV and the likes of VH1 have influenced our youth into a twisted immoral mindset of poor choices and poor priorities. I have two daughters from Thailand, both straight ‘A’ students, respectful, helpful, kind, thoughtful ……and motivated toward any and all things not advanced by the Hollywood leftist stranglehold on our youth. Hold your response to my comment until you raise your own children to the age of 21….then you can comment.

Oh my gosh, this is no different than anything else made for teens over the last several decades. When I look at these photos I see bright happy faces of girls using this movie as a way to bond with other girls and go out and have fun. Your perception of these girls is way more dark and creepy than the movie could ever be. I don’t need to raise a child to age 21 to respond, because I WAS a teen girl who enjoyed the horror genre and alternative culture and music. I am well educated, have a wonderful husband and child, a great life and do very well, thank you very much.

A flock of obese suburbanite prepubescent white girls. Perfect. Now I know who to write for.

I completely dont understand all the Hype for this movie and books.
I havent read any of books. But have seen Twilight movie. It was very average in every way to me. Like watching single episode from some US created series.
I am very surprised and struggling to understand why this became such a phenomenon.
But watching this photos i cannot deny and not to admire such a passion for something. This film really connecting those girls together. (im even jealous a bit)
haha
Anyway. Who am I to judge YOU!
if You enjoy Twilight. well… that is Your buisness Your Life!
But please dont go completely crazy and delusional with this(or anything in your life). Any of You can have your own Edward or Jacob.
Good Luck and ignore the Haters

I don’t see the big deal with this. And I love how all of these people who think they are so bright don’t even know how to put a proper sentance together. I went to New Moon 3 times. I own Twilight. I own all four books… Soo what is the harm? It is not your money the “obese suburbanite prepubescent white girls” are spening? Not everyone enjoys the same movies. Name a product that is NOT aimed at a specific age group. So PLEASE think before you speak badly about these girls.
