![]() When I was lucky enough to get invited to watch an early screening of New Moon, I experienced a strange mixture of emotions. So far as adolescent vampire love story films go, Twilight is an entertaining as they come. It’s one of those guilty pleasure, silly, I-probably-shouldn’t-be-watching-this-but-I-can’t-look-away films. Now while I’m obviously not a huge fan ( Breaking Dawn was amazingly terrible), I’ll grant that Twilight has its own appeal. ![]() Despite the limited demographic and even though substantial mockage has been made of the Twilight Phenom (check out the awesome SNL Parody starring a brunette Taylor Swift in “ Firelight“), it’s an international blockbuster – and the legions of fans busting down doors at midnight tonight and all day tomorrow care not what the cynical critics say! It’s New Moon! Shirtless underage boys on steroids! Chalky emo vampires with bad contact lenses, sparklies, and pixie hair! Cheesetastic lines about endearing, all consuming love! ![]() Twilight is massively popular and raked in the most money in terms of dvd sales this year, but it’s also one of those phenomena that lack the universal appeal of, say, Harry Potter. Kind of like the Backstreet Boys or the Macarena. ![]() The Twilight Saga has become a full-fledged, international phenomenon. ![]()
