You might recall [this treatment of the _Twilight_ film.](http://www.cracked.com/article_16878_if-twilight-was-10-times-shorter-100-times-more-honest.html)

Now the author returns [to give _New Moon_ the same treatment.](http://www.cracked.com/article/230_if-new-moon-was-10-times-shorter-100-times-more-honest/)

glad you posted this. i’ve always been slightly curious as to what twilight was, but not curious enough to invest time to read, or even watch the movie. it’s just what i suspected: absurd and shallow.

it’s almost as if teenage girls WANT to be lied to… errrr…
