The Twilight Saga: New Moon Breaks Box Office Records


Recommended Posts

LOS ANGELES - Vampires and werewolves have vanquished a dark knight. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" took in $72.7 million in its first day to break the single day domestic box office record previously held by "The Dark Knight," which had a $67.2 million opening day last year.

The Friday haul for the "Twilight" sequel includes a record $26.3 million from midnight screenings alone.

If "New Moon" maintains its pace, it might have a shot at the all-time best opening weekend record of $158.4 million, also held by "The Dark Knight."

"New Moon" continues the story of teen romance between a girl and a vampire (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson), with the sequel adding a love triangle with a teen werewolf (Taylor Lautner).

Even Stephen King hates it.

"Both Rowling and Meyer, they?re speaking directly to young people. ? The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can?t write worth a darn. She?s not very good." - Stephen King

I remember the times when Vampires were real men. Biting, killing and taking no prisoners. Gary oldman in 1992's Dracula, interview with a Vampire, Blade etc.

In Twilight... The werewolfes are basicaly wolfes

And the Vampire sparkle in the sun and attend high school even though they are 100+ years. One would imagine that they could do something more useful with their immortality.

I don't hate Twilight - but it is kind of pointless. We have become a simple audience and if you love Twilight then I'm sorry but you are easily pleased. There are so many better films out there from the past, ones that actually make you think witness an art.

But what about those who like a whole range of films?

I don't hate it, certainly not, I enjoyed the film. I read the book after recommendations from three seperate people, so seeing the film was a good way to get someone else's take on it.

But then you are talking to the person who likes Sleeping Beauty, The Holiday, Unbreakable, the Terminator, Transformers, Ice Cold in Alex, The Great Escape, Uncle Buck, Brewsters Millions, Nightmare Before Christmas, Dead Silence, Saw, Jurassic Park. . .

The list of films I like is vast and wide.

You don't like this film? Go boo boo to a Twilight-Hating forum :p Ha ha!

It's a romantic book; of course guys generally don't like it. Just as girls generally don't like Sci-Fi, but a lot of guys do.

Like made me giggle for 5 minutes straight :D

Am I the only one that has noticed Twilight is about Fairies not vampires? They follow Fairy mythology more so then vampire mythology. Fairies are often credited with sparkling. Old fairies (before they were made into good guys and girls) often sucked blood (or ate humans). Each fairy is like a snowflake. All appear similar but they each have a different specialized ability. Not to mention fairies actually had souls. Were thought to (different versions) protect little girls or steal little girls away from there home, and have a large sense of pride.

Most people now days are guided by mainstream culture, its not their fault. Its the money making industry that has developed, and ours for being so simple we all buy into it because we are so bored with our stupid lives. (me included)

Precisely!!

Bunch of brain dead people who can't think on their own anymore. Exactly how Firefox got to be so popular!!

Was almost thinking of downloading this movie just because of the hype, but after reading this and some other threads on it, definitely not worth it, although I DO know how to make up my own mind, thusly, I use Seamonkey!!

Please dont admit to piracy on these forums, I got a warning for that, pretty sure you will too now.

The only thing that the massive earnings prove to me is that the world (or is it the general population of America?), especially the youth, is definitely misguided. And no, it's not that 'the guys' don't like or can't relate to the themes of these utterly ridiculous movies, because there are obviously some lost guys speaking in favour of these dull (yes, called them 'dull', for the sake of not being harsh) films on this thread. The problem is far beyond simple 'taste'.

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
