My facebook feed is full of friends going to the midnight showing tonight. I had a friend who could not get into the drive in to see Grownups because it was overrun with Twihards. They were showing a triple feature of the three films on one screen. It might be crap, but it is going to make some money.

Ugh, I can't even imagine how numbing watching a triple-feature would be - thrill as Kristin Stewart makes the EXACT SAME EXPRESSION for 7 hours in a row! Just buy yourself a can of paint and watch it dry instead.
Seriously, is there even the "plot" neccessary to justify making two movies out of Breaking Dawn?

I would say there's about 15 minutes of actual plot in BD, and all of it relates to the hybrid baby/uterus chomping/imprinting on a baby variety. and if they cut that out, I don't even know what they have.
Dear lord, I think I'd rather be water boarded. It's one thing to like something that is campy and fun, even if you know it's shit, but other than the first one, these movies are just so dreadfully BORING.

Holy shit!! From the same Chud review: Burn!! ;D And then they throw in "Peter Facinelli, playing Poppa Cullen with all the gravitas of a mayonaise sandwich" as the cherry on the sundae. ;D

I tried to watch the first movie just to see what the fuss was about-on both sides, the love and the hate. I got about halfway through it and turned it off because it was so boring. It was too boring to even dislike. It was just...meh. I guess I just prefer blood-drinking, badass vampires over sparkly emo ones.

I try not to fault people for their taste in movies, music, what have you because we all have our likes but I just can't feel the same way for fans of this Twilight mess. Are they Palin? I was watching the morning news and I saw a story and they were showing a theater that had all showings sold out. All I could think is "Dear God, why?" I just don't understand the love for bad acting, bad writing, bad directing, bad special effects, etc etc. I just don't get it!
I just saw what happened with the word filter. I LOVES it. LMAO.

I can't believe that it earned $30 million from the midnight showings last night. Thirty MILLION. It's just been marked as the highest-grossing film ever for a midnight show.
Wait until Harry Potter comes out! It better topple that.

I think the most rabid fans went to see at the midnight showing, but I predict a pretty steep drop off over the rest of the weekend.

CHUD has gotten into it with the Twihards before, even more than average for a male-oriented movie site and a property that appeals primarily to women. I'm sure the reviewer legitimately didn't like it, but they wouldn't give up the prospect of hits from outraged fangirls even if they thought the movie was the most amazing thing ever. Eclipse is fairing much better on Rotten Tomatoes than New Moon—both are still deemed rotten, but the latest one much less so (50% fresh now, 27% fresh last year). I doubt the reviews are the reason for the uptick in the midnight openings, however.
