The Twilight Saga was released this week on Netflix USA and Scott Mendelson wrote an opinion piece for Forbes on how Twilight occupied all 5 tops spots among Netflix’s Most-Watched Movies. Below is an excerpt:
The $3.3 billion-grossing Twilight Saga did more than any other modern franchise to debunk the notion that films for and about girls and women were box office poison.
…
However, at least for today, all five of the top movies on Netflix’s “daily most-watched†list are all five installments in The Twilight Saga. Alas, they aren’t in exact order, as it goes Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight (the first and still the best), Chris Weitz’s New Moon (the worst), Bill Condon’s Breaking Dawn part II (the best sequel with a terrific final reel), David Slade’s Eclipse (the threequel and the only chapter to crack $300 million domestic) and Condon’s Breaking Dawn part I (the one where Bella and Edward get married and have bed-breaking sex before birthing a human/vampire baby).
…
Stewart and Pattinson both “recovered†from the “Eww, those movies are for girls†cultural backlash and became prestigious and engrossing adult actors. … Pattinson is playing Batman and has crafted an onscreen persona closer to Chris Walken and Crispin Glover than Chris Hemsworth or Chris Pine. I wish Catherine Hardwicke got more mileage out of launching the franchise. Twilight, with an indie sensibility and a self-knowing wit, is easily the best of the bunch.Â

![Posted @withregram • @wonderland Robert Pattinson: I was also noticing from watching your stuff last night, you're really good at accents. Do you work with accent coaching?
Barry Keoghan: Thanks, man. I do, yeah. […] I work a lot with an accent coach and I tend to use a plastic spoon all the time because it makes the jaw muscles work. Being from Dublin, you tend to not finish your own sentences sometimes and you tend to not enunciate. I'm not speaking for all Dubs, but you know what I mean? When you get into an accent, I want to be able to pronounce everything, and then I can strip it back.
Irish actor @keoghan92, is slowly, but surely becoming one of the greatest actors of our generation. Having already delivered an inimitable range of knock-out supporting performances, he’s now covering our Winter 23 issue, and ready to step into the ring as Hollywood’s most unorthodox leading man. With his legendary co-star, actor Robert Pattinson, he talks sharing the screen, the power of plastic spoons, and being selective.
