So, What’cha Doin’ For The Next 219 or so Days?

By Evil Beet Gossip • on November 23, 2009

As Molls told you, it was quite the weekend for New Moon. Experts were predicting that it would take in close to $100M so when the snoozefest newest installment in the Twilight franchise pulled $140M it was quite a shock. It’s the third largest weekend opening, following Dark Knight (1st) and Spider Man 3. An impressive showing. Did you see it? How was it? Most of what I’ve read online said that New Moon was really boring, but my Twihard friends all seem to have loved it.

I talked a lot of trash about Twilight, so I figured I should actually see the movie. I did last week and when I was finished I spent the entire time I walked down my driveway as I brought my Netflix back to the mailbox, muttering “That’s it? That’s what all this hysteria is about?” I am so confused. I am more flummoxed than ever about what is causing this hype. It seems like Kristen Stewart only attended acting class on the day they read the chapter “How to be Insolent.” There is no emoting with that girl.

Now that the Moon opening weekend is over with, the public can lather themselves into a frenzy over the next in the series. Eclipse is scheduled to hit theaters June 30th, 2010, which gives us approximately seven months and seven days to obsess, fixate and ruminate on. I saw a real shift to team Jacob after New Moon. Could 2010 be Year of the Werewolf? Whether it is or isn’t, we’ll be talking about it ad nauseam, I’m sure.
