I love it! Totally agree:
‘teenage girls who are lining up to see New Moon are asserting, in an almost innocent way, their allegiance to a much older form of pop moviemaking: the narcotic potency of mood, story, and romantic suggestion over the constant visual wham-pow! of action, effects, and packaged sensation’
A lot of women of ALL ages prefer this form of storytelling whether it be in books or film.
I know I loooove it!

Well said!

You’re so right. “Star Trek is a hobby but Twilight is an obsession.” I now know why I felt slightly uncomfortable when I went to the DVD release party last year. Because the media is saying this is a tween movie.
But it ISN’T. I saw all kinds of people going to see this movie. All ages and colors.

I was pleasantly surprised to see older men who came by themselves. Or guys who came in groups. A LOT of women in their 30s, 40s, and up were there in droves.

Hmmmmm I am soooo glad I read your comment. I am not a teenager and I love the books and the movie. Twilight fandom is a lot more layered and complicated than the media has labeled it.

Peace

I remember Nia Vardalos (sp?) earlier this year talking about a meeting she had where the studio exec basically said they don’t make movies for women because they don’t go see them. I’m sure that guy is kicking himself right now.

All that said, the reason why New Moon has surpassed Twilight’s total in a week…the simple fact of the matter is…New Moon is a FAR better film! It has to do with a bigger budget yes but it has more to do with the better directon, the better editing,the fact that we actually get to see the actors act in this film and it’s in color! Therefore peole are going to see it and that is awesome! There are moments watching Twilight where I feel as if I’m looking at film made by a film school student playing with a new camera.

Preach it Jennifer! We were just saying the exact same thing, our group were in their 40′s and 50′s. I go because I love, love, love those books, just like everyone else. I know men who love them too, not teenage boys, but bonafide men.

I hope the author is right. It would be great for our kind of movies to be the ones at the theater.
