It’s no secret. You would be hard-pressed to find a single robot on this site that gives two shits about anything Twilight – other than we think it is single-handedly detroying the vampire genre, but we won’t go there right now.
Over the weekend, The Twilight Saga: New Moon set new records for a midnight opening with $26.27 million at 3,514 theaters and for a single day opening with $72.7 million from 4,024 theaters. However, geeks a nerds who hold the same distaste for Twilight do have a reason to rejoice!
Our beloved superheroes (and their superior films), Batman and Spider-Man, held firm against the Twilight onslaught maintaining their place as the first and second biggest domestic weekend openings with $158 million (The Dark Knight) and $151 million (Spider-Man 3) respectively. New Moon opened with $140.7 million.
So, while it seems that Twihardstards are everywhere these days, they can’t hold a candle to all of us nerds and geeks!

I find it rather entertaining how so many sites out there find numerous ways to trash the twilight saga and some how defend a comic book adaptation that in some disturbing way mistook itself for the godfather. New Moon managed this with a november release. How will you manage hide the insecurity that clouds your masculinity when eclipse hits this summer?

I fully believe that Twilight fans are a die hard kinda bunch. I think every single one of them showed up for this despite the season, and the weather. And now that they saw what little it had to offer, they might even get a drop off for the next film.
Even my sister that has read the books over and over had to make an excuse for this movie, “Ummm…..well, it is the worst book in the series, maybe the next one will be better.”
Good luck with that Twilight fans. Thanks for ruining vampires for the rest of us.

I have never really cared for Vampire stories. Whether it be comics, books or movies.
And a comic book movie being compared to Godfather doesn’t really seem like that big of an insult. I’m sure Twilight’s Vampires vs Werewolves is a lot more interesting than Batman vs the mob.
Especially when you trade out a deranged lunatic for a sparkling vampire.
