Haven't read the books. Saw the first one on BD and enjoyed it. I'll do the same with the second one, also. Congrats to a great opening weekend.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Even better, it opens in the summer, also Eclipse is seen as the best book in the entire series.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Also it seems like its also directed by the most respected by fanboys at least (he did '30 days of nights', and personal fave. 'Hard Candy'

I haven't seen either of the films or read any of the books, but I'll have to say that I like Twilight better than New Moon because Twilight makes me think of this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rzy1RNJBUo4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rzy1RNJBUo4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

while New Moon only makes me think of Sha Na Na:

looks like this is going at 10 mil a day for the weekdays. In other words, it prob won't get to 200 mil till the weekend, unless theirs a spike on thanksgiving day.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

By Sunday we could be looking at 235-245. I know it's gutsy at this point, but 375 total.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

If New Moon beats out TF2 for #1 grossing pic of the year (domestic - the only numbers that count), then humanity is doomed.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

We were already doomed the moment that TF2 became the highest grossing film of the year.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

I still don't get all the hate for TF2. By far the best movie theater experience I had all year.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

By far the worst for me. I enjoyed TF1, but this movie was catered to people sharing the same intelligence level as a 4 year old.
Everything about this movie was juvenile and ridiculous to me, and my girlfriend agreed.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Thanks for insulting me.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

i take it you only saw 1 movie in the theater this year?

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Yeah, that was pretty rough. You didn't have to quote his post in yours. :lol:

Butch up; it's only the Internet. :lol:

Re: Humanity Is Dead - New Moon Breaks Midnight Record: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 11
 

Thank you for summing up my biggest problem with this whole 'phenomenon'. Compare this to the old 'Beauty & the Beast' tv show from the early 90's. Same soppy romance, same female fan base getting all damp over Vincent. The biggest difference is that the female lead was a successful working woman, with goals and dreams that went beyond being the love slave of some idealized perfect man. In other words, she could think for herself.

Damn I miss that show.

Maybe its unfair, but older Twilight fans remind me of those women who send love letters to imprisoned serial killers.

I hope you never work for any organization that engages in global transactions (like, say, the movie business).

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Only the shitfest that was Halloween II was worse for me this year. If that was the best movie experience you had all year, I weep for you.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

The whole idea that the Twilight films are setting back women's rights is pretty fucking sexist if you ask me, and completely laughable. No one ever says anything about some popular, ultraviolent movie setting back men.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

I'd say both TWILIGHT and TRANSFORMERS 2 play hardcore into gender stereotypes. :shrug:

The same guy who will decry TWILIGHT as mindless swill will defend the most retarded action spectacle on Earth, claiming "it's just a popcorn flick" and it's "what's wrong with turning your brain off and just being entertained", etc. etc, then list it on his ten best of the decade. :lol:

FWIW the biggest TWILIGHT fan I know graduated the top of her class at business school, works her own business as a financial advisor, easily clears $300k a year, is better looking than your wife/girlfriend, and so is HER girlfriend. I call that evolution or total proof of God's existence. Maybe both. :)

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

I just assume men can't be set back any farther than we already are.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Ditto. I mean...men through pretty much all of history (though..women rights onward which is very little and women haven't fucked up society like men have yet...) yeah...we've done some good but I'll be damned if a man didn't commit the worst of crimes to society.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

And just what good have women contributed to society over men???

Did a woman discover fire? Did a woman invent the wheel? Did a woman invent the lightbulb???

I think not!

I put forth the argument that women are more to blame then men for the worst crimes in society as being enablers of our outrageous behavior!

For example: I am sure it is a womans fault for the awfulness of The Watchmen!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!!

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

Then why even care what women do or don't do, like or dislike, since clearly we have no right to judge either way. Sounds counterproductive.

So, a hot, smart, successful lesbian who won't have children, meaning the best genes will not get passed on, is a sign of evolution?

Re: Humanity is Saved--The Dark Knight's record is safe: Weekend Box Office 11/20 - 1
 

It. Was. A. Joke. (playing into male horndog stereotypes) ;)

Lord of The Rings movies are awesome, and still awesome upon rewatch.
