Can't disagree with you there; kind of like the shift towards releasing movies in "installments."

"Come see the final part of Twilight... Part 1 of the final part that is!"

It's more acceptable with the Harry Potter movies I suppose because that last book was a veritable tome, but with Twilight... you can tell it's dragged on in a contrived manner. (Yes, I saw it. Yes, to placate somebody else.) What could have been 30 minutes is elongated into nearly 2 hours and it definitely contributes to hyper-ennui.

But most Twilight fans would go to see the movie (with Jacob getting shirtless and Edward pouting lasciviously) even if they split it into 8 pizza pie-esque segments, so what do I know?
