According to our friends at FilmDrunk, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" took in $68 million in its first 24 hours of release, as tweens, their moms and all sorts of other females flooded the cineplex to see master thespians Pattinson and Stewart do their brooding thing."Eclipse"'s first day haul trails only "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" on the all-time list, and "Twilight" hype even reached the hallowed halls of the United States Senate this week when Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar asked Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan if she was on Team Edward or Team Jacob.
Of course, a male senator would never ask such a question because any man would be reluctant to admit in public he had seen "Twilight." Yet, if somebody had a few years ago told the typical guy that the biggest movie franchise in America would be about vampires and werewolves -- and would co-star Ashley Greene -- he'd probably be on board.
Nevertheless, we now know that "Twilight" is mainly for those with two X chromosomes. So the questions is, under what circumstances would you watch any installment of Stephenie Meyer's runaway monster of a creation?

To use my favorite quote from "The Man Show": I wouldn't see this movie if it was playing on Selma Hayack's back while I rode her like a rented mule.

I would do it for $100, but only if it was pro-rated. If it is so bad that I have to walk out after 15 minutes, then I still want my $10.

I would totally do it for Selma Hayack. 15 minutes would be plenty of time.

I decided to read Twilight after having so many customers (I own a book store) rave about it, so really that was out of professional necessity, and of course curiosity. I happened to catch the movie On Demand afterward. The only thing worse than the movie was the book and the only thing worse than the book was the movie. It's like some kind of horrible paradox of crap.

My girlfriend wanted me to watch the first two with her before she went to see the 3rd one. At first I gave an emphatic 'um, hell no, baby.' She looked dejected. SO, being the smart guy I am, I came up with a compromise. "Tell you what, sweetheart, I'll watch these with you, but you have to do something for me." What, she asked. "I'll watch the movies, but you have to swallow."
I watched. It was worth it.
