Illiterate twitter response to Oprah’s TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE screening is positive, I think

I have no idea how twitter works, so I’m going to have to take moviefone‘s word on this one: Oprah held a secret surprise advanced screening of the upcoming Twilight Saga flick Eclipse, and we all know that anyone ignorant enough to enjoy Oprah’s shenanigans is probably also ignorant enough to enjoy a secret surprise advanced screening of a movie like Eclipse, so needless to say, the response was overwhelmingly positive.

If, like the affluent Twilight mums who populate Oprah’s audience, you enjoy the whole Twilight phenomenon, then you will be heartened to read things like this:

@JustSoJazzyDiva OMFG @Twilight Saga #Eclipse was so freaking good!!! Blew Twilight & New Moon out the water!!! It was AMAZING!! YES!!! The leg hitch was in the movie!!! Suuuch a hott scene!!!

Does only 2 exclamation marks at the end of AMAZING make the declaration slightly less genuine than the 3 exclamation marks at the end of “Suuuch a hott scene”?

@Nicolediscogrll I just saw Eclipse. Oh my F****G god. Best movie I have ever seen. The fight scenes the love scenes oh my god. Hands the whole time and cried and omfg. This isn’t real. I love you Oprah. You will NOT be disappointed and the love sceenes are f’ng HOT. Turned me on a little.

Hands the whole time!

@Shannon_Haile Sorry Eclipse was amazing, sorry I couldn’t contain myself. Everyone should be GLAD the movie turned out
AMAZING.

No-one should apologise for the quality of a film. Unless it was shit.

Okay, okay, I’ll stop being a smartarse and let the Twihards do the talking:

@Vivian_Ortiz Eclipse was amazing! Can’t wait to see the final version! Best Movie Yet.

@CristalVaca Just watched Eclipse, it was f***ing incredible.

@Courtneex3 OH MY GOD!!!! Eclipse was absolutely AMAZING. Better then both New Moon & Twilight! Holyy crappp =O

@MochaChick8705 OMG!!! #Eclipse was so amazing!! Can’t wait to go to the Oprah show tomorrow to see Rob, Kristen, Taylor, and Dakota!! Look for my tweets!!

@TrendingJB Just saw Eclipse!! AMAZING movie. That’s ALL I’m saying.

@WTFKStew “Eclipse was amazing! Can’t wait to see the final version! Best Movie Yet. :)

@twilightskittle ECLIPSE: BEST movie out of the series! It was so much more intimat…and the proposal was very touching.

@AlphieLJ was at the Eclipse screening for Oprah and what you are hearing on twitter is true. Two thumbs WAY up!

Oprah has a lot of power. Sometimes, she uses her power for good (i.e., charity); other times, she uses her power for evil (e.g. hosting quacks), and I think this is an example of the latter. Any time she supports a book or film that is not actually good, and her flock immediately buys a million of said book or film, then the makers of the book and / or film are going to get the wrong message; they’re going to think it’s okay to continue to pump out trash, because these desperate rich white women keep on buying it.

Anyway, I’m a little suspicious of that fact that none of the tweeters cited in moviefone’s article were even a little bit disappointed by Eclipse. Maybe that’s a sign that Eclipse is better than New Moon — but hey, that wouldn’t be hard.
