Some people have accused "New Moon" fans of being lonely spinsters that have as many sexual issues as they do cats, crazy "abstinence only" conservatives, or being 14. I feel like these labels are much too specific and miss the bigger picture. "New Moon" opened to the third biggest weekend of all time, with 140 million dollars. For those of you who have been dodging government mind control devices and avoiding all media for the last few years, these "Twilight" books are the biggest to do since "Harry Potter" and have made a shit ton of money. Keeping very close to the source material, the movies are horribly written, empty messes that teach a vague lesson about not having sex and Werewolves. And also Vampires. And also Mexicans. Based off the movie's dismal reviews, it's safe to say we have a shitty movie based off a shitty book. So the people that helped make this movie more money than I thought existed in the economy right now weren't lonely shut-ins, or Jesus Camp alumni, but rather the group that is responsible for the success of every "Paul Blart" and "Wild Hogs": Morons. To prove my point, I will bet that this week when "The Road" (one of the most emotionally poignant and intense books I've ever read) comes out, it will make 1/2 of "New Moon's" opening weekend over it's entire theatrical run, even if it makes "No Country for Old Men" look like an episode of that TV show with the little girl who's a robot. I can't wait for Obama's death panels, hopefully he can straighten this whole thing out.
