Where have you been, loca?!
Nick, Stephen, Cam, and Katherine return to Forks for The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), and Cam is already diagnosing himself with Post-Traumatic Twilight Disorder.
Directed by Chris Weitz and based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel, New Moon stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Michael Sheen, Dakota Fanning, Anna Kendrick, and Billy Burke in the second chapter of the Twilight Saga.
Edward leaves Bella because apparently abandoning your girlfriend is the safest way to protect her, sending Bella into months of depression before she reconnects with Jacob Black, who conveniently returns with fewer clothes, more abs, and a serious werewolf problem. Add vampire hallucinations, cliff diving, the Volturi, sparkly public indecency, and the world's most emotionally exhausting love triangle, and baby, we've got a movie.
Katherine brings the Twilight millennial nostalgia, Stephen discovers that New Moon is an incredible comedy if you stop taking it seriously, Nick wonders why a $50 million production has these wigs and car scenes, and Cam simply wants the suffering to end.
We’re talking Team Edward vs. Team Jacob, Bella’s depression montage, CGI werewolves, terrible wigs, awkward dialogue, the Twilight soundtrack, the Volturi, Stephenie Meyer’s books, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Twilight fandom, and why this bizarre supernatural romance became one of the biggest pop-culture phenomena of the 2000s.
Some people watch New Moon for the romance.
We watched it to answer a much more important question:
Why is everybody wearing jean shorts?
Welcome to Gen Wars: Gen X vs. Millennials, where nostalgia goes to war with rewatchability and apparently nobody is safe from Twilight.
