Thursday evening watching the local news they did a story about the opening night of the new Twilight movie New Moon or Twin Moon or something. Teenage girls longing romantically for vampires. They showed a line at the movie theatre that had formed four and a half hours before the first showing. The first show started at eleven.
Now you might think the why is why would anyone want to watch this film but you would be wrong. My question is why would they have a first showing at eleven on a school night. After all the audience is predominantly teen girls. There was a time when civic responsibility would have dictated using Friday for the first showing.
Alas I think common sense loses out to trying to milk a buck out of the consumer.

I never understood the Vampire chic thing. I liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, but only because they were well-written shows. But the whole "Oooh, I'm a brooding, sexy vampire" schtick -- total turnoff.
