Twilight Hate: Why the success of New Moon is good for Hollywood
Twilight-Movie —
... The recent success of New Moon is just one of them. Online blogs and newspaper articles are lambasted with comments ranging from how the movie sucks to how anti-feminist and weak is Bella. But in an article by Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, the success of the Twilight franchise can mean a good thing too – if you look at the bigger picture. Here is an excerpt of his article: ...
Gleiberman Defends "New Moon" - I Respectfully Disagree
From the Front Row —
... As I grew older and my horizons expanded, I left behind EW and now rarely, if ever, read it at all. One thing that always stuck out to me though, was that I preferred film critic Lisa Schwartzbaum to Owen Gleiberman. And after reading his rather smug and completely off-base defense of The Twilight Saga: New Moon , I remembered why. In the ...

... 2, 2009. In other words, what it took Twilight a little over four months to earn, New moon will earn in a week. Without question New Moon will pull in at least 4 million this Friday which will have it jump the Twilight total. In fact it will probably surpass the coveted $200 million mark by the end of the weekend.
All of this will have New Moon land in the number 6 position right behind Star Trek starting next week. Where it goes from there is anyone’s guess.

... it represents — teenage girls — a new power and prevalence. Inevitably, such evolutions in clout are accompanied by a resentful counter-reaction. For if power is gained, then somewhere else (hello, young men!) it must be lost.
I think that these points are very very interesting indeed :D I’d be interested in seeing what this counter-reaction is and when it’s going to start…

And what of the Twilight saga itself: Is it liberating the fantasy life of a new generation of young women by inviting them to wallow in the kind of stormy-skies, trembling-damsel romanticism that has been a staple of popular fiction from Wuthering Heights onward?

'New Moon': Why its girl-driven success is good for the future of movies
Twilight News Resource —
Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly talks about the Twilight Saga and how its girl-driven success might be good for future movies. Offhand, it would be hard to think of a pop phenomenon as rapturously beloved as the Twilight saga that is also as vociferously hated. My God, the hate! If swoony-gauzy teen-bloodsucker romanticism with a golden-eyed indie-rock James Dean as love object isn’t your cup of passion, then fine — so be it. But why the frothing torrents of resentment? I was seriously shocked, for instance, reading some of the ...
EW continues to kiss Twilight's bum/almost calls haters anti-feminist
Oh No They Didn't! —
... of pop moviemaking: the narcotic potency of mood, story, and romantic suggestion over the constant visual wham-pow! of action, effects, and packaged sensation.

Oh No They Didn't! —
... These and other questions were debated, with rude and furious passion, in response to my New Moon post last week. I confess, though, that amid the flurry of ardent, and at times angry, stand-taking, one particular view, repeated over and over again, caught my eye: the notion that there’s something deeply wrong with the Twilight saga because that hot-blooded, painfully chivalrous James Dean-of-the-northwest vampire Edward Cullen is nothing less than a “stalker.” ...
