- I should have actually typed "Twilight *could* be Titanic for the teens." Until I hear of some screenings, I still think it looks like crap. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:22
The more I think about Australia, the more I wonder if it's going to be Titanic. - Mop Nov 13, 14:10 3
- Austrailia will be an epic bomb, imo. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:15
- Im thinking Cold Mountain or English Patient vibe -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:13 1
  - cold mountain vibe, crossed with Sky Captain vibe -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 14:14
Speaking of Titanic, it doesn't look like Mamma Mia! is going to pass it in the UK. -- nm - Dano Nov 13, 14:08
Teens are going to be Titanic at Twilight. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 13, 14:08
Twilight is overhyped and after an explosive start will crumble and fall under its own weight of disappointed teenage girls. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:07 26
- Girls are going crazy over it. *c-r-a-z-y* - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:10 1
  - Which will make the disappointment that much more stronger of a sting. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:14
- don't forget the 20-30ish goth milfs. they're gonna go. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:08 23
  - I doubt it. Unless they still shop at Hot Topic and if that's the case ick! -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:12
  - And normal milfs like my wife and half the women in this company, whose men apparently aren't getting it done and so they need Vampequin paperbacks. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:10 6
    - wouldn't goth milfs be too cool for it? -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:13 4
      - negative. So negative. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:17
      - The only women I know who aren't freaking about Twilight are still tweaking over the New Kids concert last week. - TFox Nov 13, 14:15 2
        
        Good grief. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 14:33
        
        um, nice to meet you I guess. I never even heard of it till last week. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:16
    - HAHAHA! That's funny. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:13
  - Ive heard its for people who have outgrown Harry Potter - eag Nov 13, 14:09 14
    - No, I think for that it's being overhyped. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:12 12
      - heck, any youth-centric series that shows the slightest bit of popularity is going to be heralded as "the next Harry Potter" for the next 10 years - znufrii Nov 13, 14:13 11
        
        Alot of movies have tried but there is still only one - eag Nov 13, 14:14 2
        
        I think "they're" referring to the books, not the movies. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:19 1
        
        But it holds true for both -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:23
        
        Actually my series of NaNoWriMo novels are going to be "the next Harry Potter" -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:14 2

        Dumbledore! -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:17
        
        the fact it knocked Potter out of the top spot on the bestseller list (at least once if not twice), that helped. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:14 4
        
        It would have been interesting had HPOT6 had opened in november when it should have -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:16 3
        
        Twilight is attempting to fill that vaccum. That's precisely when it went from a buzz to epic. Will it succeed? No. It still looks ugly as a Magnolia - Qale Nov 13, 14:20 1
        
        I think the movie needs to be good to great for it to succeed, yes. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:22
        
        Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:17
    - It seems completely inadequate for the task. Besides Harry Potter's getting plenty dark enough as its going along. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:10
I probably ought to preorder SheFox's tickets for opening night now, right? Just in case. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:07
Titanic was Titanic for the teens. -- nm - Max Nov 13, 14:06

- Titanic was Titanic for everyone in addition to being Titanic for the teens. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:07 3
  - I think the teens kept Titanic afloat, so to speak. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:09 1
    - Stick to your day job:) - eag Nov 13, 14:18
  - I don't think this will appeal to as many adults as Titanic did though. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:09
