I wasn't saying this or any other movie is trash. My point was that a movie that is a financial success does not directly correlate to it being a quality film in an objective sense. Of course, there are many who saw New Moon who absolutely loved it (even my roommate), which is understandable. However, there is a significant difference between a movie being a good investment and a good film. There is no doubt that the line is undoubtedly blurred almost to the point of obscurity when it comes to producers and media heads. However, even they understand when they have a film that will solely do well financially but win no awards, and when they have a film that will not be a financial success but will win awards. Take this past year's Oscar's race, with none of the films being particularly successful. Studios realized that the films were (arguably) of high quality and pushed them to the forefront of the minds of the Academy and the general population. It is a very distinct difference.
