Quattro’s 90-day Challenge – Day 84 – So What is all This New Moon Hype, Anyway?
Ah…it reminds me of my Star Wars days way back in 1977. I didn’t see what all the hooplah was. The first time I saw Star Wars was in a drive-in theater. Bad place to see it. The space scenes got completely washed out on the screen and the sound quality was terrible. Yet, I still kept hearing amazing things about it, so I gave it another chance in a theater. Then I saw why it was such a milestone destined to be the “Doctor Who” of American pop-culture.
One of my girlfriends has already seen New Moon and said it was better than Twilight by far. In tonight’s YouTube video she explains why it is so appealing to such a wide range audience. I think the thing that amazes me is how even grandmothers and moms of teens are flocking to see it. My friend Kristen said Twilight had a heavily female demographic in the audience at showings, but New Moon is drawing a 50/50 crowd of both men and women. Very interesting…I guess the guys like to see wolf transformations and fights, too, unless they are being dragged to see this newest installment by their girlfriends. That’s what happened to our best friend Chris when Kristen went.
I’ve made a date with Kristen to see it the day after the 90-day challenge ends. I’m sure it will still be around in 7 days. Can’t wait!
