It's not that the Twigag fan base has expanded, it's that a ton of the Twitards went to go see it FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. IN ONE DAY.

the only response to this i can manage is:
@_@ whut

Women are not the only ones to blame, apologies if that was what came across.

Do not try to pin this on women only. A movie doesn't reach 140 mil without a lot of general support, and I know quite a few male twilight fans, who go home and dream about a skinny girl they can condescend to, control and snap at without ever losing her undying support.

And voices which were absent during the rise of the significantly more problematic "Slumdog Millionaire" last year, we might add, I don't remember SM being hyped up on the same level this one was either. Everyone mostly said it was well made (which it was) and a feel good movie.

my point was this is typical "twilight bashing" fare. its boring. I expect more from The Playlist, not really getting the smart dry-honest-analysis-unique writing anymore. whatevs. you're dumb bro.

Dumb commentary. Typical knee jerk reaction with zero insight… But "aces" I suppose.

A couple of girls at my school saw it three times in one day. And made custom t-shirts. So yeah, Twilight fans really don't give a shit.

I liken you to Bill O'Reilly or Ken Turan when you call a movie "seriously dangerous". What a pussy.

Twilight fans DON'T CARE.

The 'New Moon' opening weekend has to set it up for disappointment in the Summer when Twilight #3 comes out, doesn't it?

So it made a killing before word got around, but now the news has got to be out that it was bad. Even Twilight fans wouldn't want to see the series get worse. And with less than 9 months until the next one comes out I don't think they hype can last.

transformers 2 had a better script? you're insane.

twilight is to girls as transformers/g.i. joe is to boys. although i argue that michael bay hates his audience more and thus is more deserving of my ire

Words cannot express my dislike for Twilight…
The only reason I would go to that film is to go in front of the audience and say "I'll show you a new moon…" And then moon them all.

A+ response. Comments like that on behalf of staff writers are why I keep reading this site. 🙂

Yes, because everyone was clueless until I came along. Fingerbang your sympathies somewhere else, dipshit.

Actually, I believe the title is "1. Women Are Subservient Creatures Who Need Male Film Bloggers To Tell them What Garbage Is"

"Blind Side" HAS to be the result of some weird NFL mind control experiment.

I almost spit out my coffee when I read that 140 million. EMO girls run the world. It was horrible and one of the worst films I have seen! Transformers2 had a better script than this piece of crap. I did see the blind side and I thought it was good, I was in a theatre with everyones mom, but still it was really heart warming, but put in mind i did just watch it a day after new moon.Clever title on new moon

Though i will argue with you again. Slumdog more problematic (racially?) then Precious? Hell no.

I'm thinking *at least* 12-15 million of The Blind Side's receipts are from people who got frozen out of Twilight showings. There's not a single demo for that movie. Seriously, who in the world do you know that wants to go see The Blind Side?
