Shouldn't NEW MOON be called FULL MOON?
What's the deal with the title? Werewolves change under full moons and even if these are magic werewolves that change whenever, the movie should be called FULL MOON.

Re: Shouldn't NEW MOON be called FULL MOON?
Q. What does the title refer to? Is it a werewolf reference?
A. Nope. The term "new moon" refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.

It should've have been called Joss Whedon Did the Same Thing Ten Years Ago With "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and Did it Better.

Raise your hand if the whole Twilight/New Moon phenomenon has passed you by and you don't feel like you've missed anything.

If this new film is as stilted, stiff, and as cringe-worthy as the first one, I don't think anyone outside of teenage girls will care.
The funny thing was I saw a couple of pics from the premiere and 95% of the people in attendance were girls 10-20.

Re: Shouldn't NEW MOON be called FULL MOON?
I'll use the Batman example again:
1966 Batman TV show = Dog shit (to me)
1989 / 2005 / 2008 interpretations of Batman = pretty damn good (to me)
Is the 1966 Batman invalid because I don't like it? No, never.
Same can be said of vampire-based stories.
