The Twilight Saga: New Moon Breaks Box Office Records


Recommended Posts

Since they were pimping out the vampires with bling skin, they should have put some 22 dubs on them bitches while at it. Give them a nice cream candy coated paint job, throw in a sound system, and boom, you got a vampire pimper than eddie murphy.

well i respect all the people who like this kind of movie.. but for me is bunch Cr!@#@!#P .... In my opinion Dark Knight the best

fixed.

14.Bella teaches women to let the man handle everything, which pretty much is a huge step backward for women everywhere, who have fought for equality.

lol ya cause there arent million of woman out there that already live like this. Bella is causing the step backward haha

If you dont like it dont post, i quite liked the first film and im looking forward to this one.

So basically if we don't have a positive thought on the film don't post our opinion and express ourselves? Gotcha.

I can't understand the Twilight craze personally. Perhaps I'd give the movies more of a chance if they had cast better actors.

Seeing as how the third one is going to be directed byt he same guy who did 30 Days of Night it might not be all that bad.

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.

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)

It's called escapism mate. Nothing wrong with enjoying a "simple" film. I enjoyed Transformers immensely and it's giant robots beating the **** out of each other. I also greatly enjoyed Moon. There are still artful films and still ones a lot of people enjoy. Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a bit of escapist cinema.

And as Rappy pointed out, this movie was showing on over FOUR THOUSAND screens. Of course it's going to make a crap load of money. Hell, 500 people going to watch that movie and paying 8 dollars each, which is low, will net about 16 million in revenue - 500 people isn't a hell of a lot. Really, we can't bitch about teen age girls not wanting to watch an artistic film.

Remember that movie from 1927? Wings? Yeah. It wasn't high art either. It isn't just a generational thing.

WHAAAAAAA! My taste in a horrendous movie that is slightly less enjoyable than getting H2SO4 poured into my eyes is being made fun of! WHAAAAAAAA!

I've never seen these films but seen loads of trailers and they just don't appeal to me, that actor who plays the lead vampire (no idea of his name) is one strange looking man. Apparently girls swoon over him :blink:

i got dragged to see it y'day. Didnt really get it tbh, nothing really happened, and seemed a depressing film, seemed like the girl could cut her self at any moment, dont think she smiled once even when he was with the vamp, and the vamp looked like he was gona cry every time he kissed her lol.

If this broke boxoffice records why does the film industry say that no1 goes to the cinema any more as they pirate everything now?lol

Thats what makes it romantic :) I guess? :\

Hmm?

Twilight is certainly not my taste in movies, i prefer action movies preferably war or war related set in modern time but i dont have a problem with WW2 setting, that said i liked Twilight, all this bashing is boring.

I didn't go to see it this weekend mainly because I didn't want to fight the crowds and mostly because every showing was sold out this week at my local theater. My wife has already started up, wanting me to take her to see it so I guess I will soon do just that to keep the peace.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
