As far as financial crises go, creators of cult movies for little girls and geeks can sleep quietly. They don't care, of course, about lowering the intellectual level of youngsters worldwide. For that they will burn in hell, but for now they are rich and successful.
The Twilight books were written by one of those little girls, who just wanted to express her feelings and aching heart. She chose an interesting metaphor for impossible relationship/friendship in creating a love triangle between a human, a vampire and a werewolf. The writing is quite boring and amateur on a teenage level, but it should have its honors for parallels such as growing up and feeling different to transforming into a werewolf.
The Twilight movies neglect all those little sparkles of potential and focus entirely on the competition of hotness between Edward and Jacob. The girls love it and the two male stars of the movie are getting a huge bath of attention and enjoy it without maybe even noticing that their little project has gone out of control and now symbolizes a new low in the era of cash-sucking pop culture.
Twilight has put us all in the dark. As of this moment I see no hope, no future where viewers would be interested in the artistic side of a movie, instead of something as superficial as the actor's abs.
