New Moon's success means women hate sex. Obviously.

Sex and Sexuality post by Kelsey Wallace, November 30, 2009 - 7:24pm; tagged Chicago Tribune, female sexuality, Jonathan Zimmerman, New Moon, Stephenie Meyer, Twilight.
OK, I'll be the first to admit that the whole Twilight phenomenon is interesting. Here at Bitch we've written about the movies, the books, the parody videos, and tons of other sparkly vampire stuff over the past year. People are obsessed! It's compelling! However, lately it seems like every single teenage behavior is being connected to the franchise in some way, from negotiating gender identity to interacting with parents. Could it be that Twilight is the compass with which we can navigate the state of Young People Today? Do we never have to think about the nuances and complications of human existence again because Stephenie Meyer has done that dirty work for us? Well, Jonathan Zimmerman at the Chicago Tribune certainly thinks so.

According to Zimmerman's article "Hooking up's gender gap," the number of young women who saw Twilight Saga: New Moon (which was a lot) tells us that, "Girls want love, not just sex." And he got this from New Moon how, exactly?

Bitch Popaganda: It's like The View, except with less leg-crossing.
Kelsey, Sara and Kjerstin saw a very special preview of New Moon this past Thursday night. Not only were we privy to the latest in the Twilight phenom, we got a chance to talk with fans of all ages before and after the movie to see what they thought before we put in our own two cents in our makeshift recording studio (aka Kelsey's car). Enjoy as we discuss Bella's new pastimes, dating the supernatural, and of course, if we're on Team Jacob or not. Plus very special commentary from Twilight fans! You can listen below, download the file, or subscribe on iTunes!

New Moon Trailer, Same Old Disappointments

DigiBitch post by Kelsey Wallace, June 7, 2009 - 5:44pm; tagged Bella Swan, damsel in distress, Edward Cullen, feminism, Jacob Black, New Moon, poll, Stephenie Meyer, trailers, Twilight, vampires, werewolves, WTF?.
We've taken a slight break from covering Twilight news on the blog because we thought our vampire jokes might be sucking the life out of you (zing!), but the New Moon trailer aired earlier this week and posting it here became as irresistible as Bella's sweet-smelling heroin plasma. Warning: The following video contains clunky dialogue, paranormal teen angst, and more damsel-in-distress scenarios than you could shake a wooden stake at.



Some of the players may have changed, but it looks as though Bella's role as the defenseless female who is both abused and protected by males has remained the same. Also, the werewolf looks cheesy.

The Genius Behind American Pie Might Be Directing the Twilight Sequel

The Female Gaze post by Tammy Oler, December 10, 2008 - 5:05pm; tagged catherine hardwicke, chris weitz, New Moon, Twilight.

More (rumored) news on the Twilight sequel now that Catherine Hardwicke is no longer the director.  Nikki Finke's got an inside line that Summit has offered Chris Weitz the chance to direct New Moon - and potentially Eclipse, if both films could be made back-to-back.  Weitz is the writer and director of About a Boy, producer and uncredited director of American Pie, and the director for The Golden Compass adaptation.  According to Finke, sources claim that Summit liked the look of The Golden Compass, but the real reason this deal might be in the works is that Weitz is an old buddy of Summit's president of production.  

Do you ever get the feeling that the Hollywood old boy's club is just being replaced with a newer boy's club?

More after the jump... including irrational behavior from a male director!

Calling all Female Hacks: Please Direct More Movies

The Female Gaze post by Tammy Oler, December 8, 2008 - 11:44pm; tagged cadillac records, catherine hardwicke, darnell martin, female directors, lexi alexander, New Moon, punisher: war zone, Twilight.

Looks like I got a little too excited on Friday about the current state of affairs for female directors... By now you've probably heard that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has been fired from the blockbuster teen vamp franchise and will not be directing Twilight's sequel New Moon. There's also bad news for Lexi Alexander and Darnell Martin, who had lackluster opening weekends at the box office.

The breakdown after the jump, along with my call for more crappy female directors.

Five Conversations About One Thing - Joe Kelly

An interview with Joe Kelly by Ayun Halliday, Illustrated by Photo of Halliday by DA Photography, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Activism; tagged advertising, Ayun Halliday, daughters, fatherhood, Joe Kelly, magazines, media, New Moon, parenting.
Years ago, Joe Kelly noticed a Maidenform ad reading “Inner beauty only goes so far” on the side of a city bus, and was hor­­ri­fied to imagine one of his young daughters as the subject of it. As one of the founders, with wife Nancy Gruver, of New Moon: The Maga­zine for Girls and Their Dreams, an award-winning, youth-edited publication, Kelly was well aware that the relationships between girls and their fathers hold an importance that’s too often dismissed or overlooked.
