I'm watching it on DVD right now.
(Rifftrax!)
But, ugh. This movie is painful. Teenagers buy into this shit?

New Moon is painful.

I watched the movie the other day. I feel bad for girls who are in love with pasty ass vampires who can barely open their eyes.
No, I'm watching it with the Rifftrax, not because I buy into, or like, the drama/story/emononsense in it.
I probably get grilled for this, but I actually kinda liked Twilight. (In my defense, originally I just watched it to impress my girlfriend.) Yeah, it's not a very original concept and the whole teen angst theme is really tiresome. But I thought it was plotted rather nicely, has a beautiful cinematography and decent enough acting. New Moon, however, was just incredibly annoying and boring.
Why on Earth would you watch that ? Even the world's biggest movie fan must still have thousands of films available to watch that he or she had never seen.
Problem is that they're all women who like Twilight and are therefore not worth the effort.
I watched the first Twilight w/rifftrax (the only way I would ever watch it) and while the commentary is one of their best, the movie was horrible. Trekker, is the new rifftrax as funny as the one for the first Twilight?
Don't have any temptation or interest watching or reading the books...I did start Twilight a couple of years ago and thought it was so bad I couldn't get past the first paragraph let alone the first chapter. I'm also not a fan of POV books so that aspect bothered me. I don't begrudge a fan base but I'm not a fan and not interested. I will admit though that the recently released Twilight Graphic Novel came out this week and the art looked incredible! If I break down and decide to get anything from the franchise it will be the graphic novels. Bella was blonde and looked nothing like Kristen Stewart whom I can't stand.
I'm watching New Moon right now. I'm kinda curious about all the hype. The only thing that REALLY annoyed me about the movies, and books is that they change the mythos of Vampires. According to many hundreds of novels, movies, and TV shows, Vampires cand stand in even one ray of light. The whole shimmering thing is just lame. Edward stood there for a long time as well, with no burning of his skin, or an attempt to block the sun.
Second. Vampires have no reflection. For a hundred years, even in the Underworld series this has been a fictional fact. Taking pictures? Reflections in water and windows? Lestat would laugh his ass off at this story. I haven't gotten to the wolves yet, but it looks like they destroy that myth as well from the trailers.

Lestat would single handed rip these sparkly vamps to shreds.
People, I gave up. I forced myself to finish the first one. The second one I got through about 20 minutes. I put on On Her Majesty's Secret Service instead. Ha! I stopped a new movie to watch a 40 year old movie, and the older one is better.
Book LeStat or that 4 foot tall nutjob Cruise LeStat?
Both actually. At least Cruise had a million times more charisma as Lestat than every actor in both Twilight movies. In my opinion, it's his best movie. He doesn't play himself. The other movie he's good in? Tropic Thunder.
The franchise is designed for women and teen girls. I like a little vampire trashy fun sometimes. I got my New Moon dvd today 
and already watched it.
Charlaine Harris, who writes the Sookie Stackhouse novels is trashy fun too. Her vampires don't like sun, but can be photographed and seen in mirrors, and only have a passing distaste for garlic. It's all just fun, not real, thought provoking literature

I guess you never read Bram Stoker's Dracula. Not that I'm defending Twilight (<shudder>), but the whole exploding-in-sunlight thing comes from Nosferatu and was all but unknown in most vampire mythologies around the world.
What are you talking about?
'New Moon' is the movie of the year! For people of all ages!!!
(Yes, for those who haven't caught on.....that was sarcasm...)
I'd say it's at least as funny, maybe slightly less. It's still as good as even an "average" episode of MST3K.
But, man, is the movie painful.
I stand corrected. How the heck did you get that shot!?
