I may have mentioned this before but in February I'm going to a Twilight convention here in the UK. Anyway, today they announced the first guest...Kellan Lutz. How excited am I?

Our cons aren't the scale of comic-con. This one runs for 3 days and has three themed parties and different ticket levels. Gold, Silver and standard. Gold menebrs get to have pics taken with the guests and stuff signed.

What colour is my ticket tongue.gif rolleyes.gif
Honeybee
Oh... Elaine that sounds like so much fun. And if my memory serves me correct, I believe that you have.... gold tickets. laugh.gif How lucky are you!!! You will have to post the pics when you get them.

I think SM once mentioned in the FAQ of BD on her website, that she thinks it might be impossible to film BD into a movie, because of Resemee.


I'm sure that by the time BD would come out they will have some new way of figuring out how to show Nessie's growth. You know how much computers change... its practically daily.

I know but my second cousin still looks like Renesmee. It's so sad that they may not be able to do BD. sad.gif A girl can dream though, right?

Elaine you are sooo lucky, have fun with the guests!

Nearly 1,000 Twilight Fans Visit Forks


The Peninsula Daily News has posted an article regarding the celebration of Bella's 21st birthday, and the author herself, Stephenie Meyer.

Marcia Bingham, executive director of the Forks Chamber of Commerce had this to say: "We had at least 900 to 1,000 people here today. It has been unbelievable."

You can check out the whole article right here!

Ahaha amazing what thousand fans can do; What do you guys think about the article? (:

Personally I thought that it was super cute the things that they did and *squeees* I wish I could've of gone :/ *sighs* I live on the other side of the country. All the way to the corner *cough*florida*cough* </3
Moon(I luv you Luna)
If i ever go to America, i'm going to Forks. biggrin.gif

I'm pretty sure they'll have invented some sort of new technology by the time BD comes out. They can't make the first three, then leave BD out. rolleyes.gif Elaine, you're so lucky, you'll be within seeing-distance of Kellen Lutz!

Geez, Twilight really does turn me into a fangirl. happy.gif

Please, if you are in the UK or in spitting distance try to come. The people that do, the more guests we can have.

Justs as a note, if you are under 14 you have to be accompanied by an adult.

I have seen some great pictures of friends who were in Forks this weekend and they had the best time. One of them is coming from the US for the con...she lives in Seattle so only went for the day! It will great to meet her and all the other girls...only 5 more months to wait **groan**

Have to keep an eye on the Twicon news!

Kellan Lutz thinks Meyer should take her time on Midnight Sun


Muahaha I knew that he would also see it our way (:

QUOTE
A new article on the MTV News Blog reports on a recent interview with the actor who will be playing Emmett in Twilight. He talks about the Midnight Sun leak, and what Stephenie should do about it:

“If I was Stephenie Meyer,” Lutz said, “and if I made that book � which is more heartfelt, like a diary in a way � it wouldn’t be out for years. I feel like she created it just for herself, and it’s sad that a part of her has been leaked, if that makes sense.”

Read the full story right here!


What do you all think? Does he make a point? Do you think Stephenie Meyer should finish “Midnight Sun,” or should the “Twilight” saga end with “Breaking Dawn”?

One more peice of news that I found happy.gif for the Ellen DeGeneeres show she says

QUOTE
Every teenager in the country is reading STEPHENIE MEYER'S "Twilight" series of books (and will soon be watching the movies!). I am thrilled to announce that Stephenie is giving me a rare TV interview on Wednesday! Her latest book in the series, "Breaking Dawn," is about a teenage girl who is torn between her love for a caring vampire and a sweet-natured werewolf. (Why are the good ones always taken?!) Stephenie was also writing a new book from Edward the Vampire's point of view, but certain chapters got leaked online, and now she might not even release it! (I'm gonna try my best to talk her into it, or at least have her give me the scoop on what happens!)


do you think this might help her into getting SM to go back to writing it?
harrypotterlover1024
Nobody's really answering this question anymore, but I havn't been on in a while.

Did you think Bella got off too easily with her happily ever after at the end of Breaking Dawn?
Well I think the ending was amazing, and I'm glad no one died and she got to live a happy life. But i really wish she was more of a crazy new born vampire! Not a super crazy one, but it still would have been cool to read about the thirst and how she has to resist it. When she was with Charlie she never once was like I can smell his blood, or something like that.

Also, about BD being a movie:: When I read it I pictured Renesmee looking like a toddler, but then I realized she was the size of a newborn, but just grew fast. When she was the size of a three month year old she could walk so thats why it would be hard to film that. I think they could just make her be a toddler, thats how I pictured it anyway, and they could have an older child do voice overs. So I think it would still be possible to film this. Which makes me think of a new question::

If they make all the books into movies, are there any scenes, characters, or thoughts that Bella has that you think will be very hard to shoot or portray?


Note-> I made my friend read Twilight, and she finished it in one day and is now in love!! Haha I was so proud. Me and my other friend are now trying to get other people to read the books smile.gif

I think the hardest scene to shoot with be the ones with Renesmee. A baby can't act intelligent like she did in the book. And if they do it graphically...will she look real? I don't know...I see Breaking Dawn being a problem because of Renesmee. I also thought of her as a toddler at first...I had to keep reminding myself that she was in fact an infant. It would be really interesting to see how they do those scenes if they decided to make Breaking Dawn a movie.

That's really the only obstacle I can think of as far as movies go.

Dawn

Did you think Bella got off too easily with her happily ever after at the end of Breaking Dawn?
Absolutely. In my book, the part after Jacob's book doesn't excist. First, Emmett was way out of character (is it only me who thinks that?). Second, where was the bloodlust? She had it too easy. Third, she got her family. The whole thing even. I think it was a huge fault of SM that she wrote what she likes instead of what seemed realistic (yes, yes, it's a vampire book, but really!). It was too easy for her, and it kind of ruined it for me. I didn't mind Renesmee, but everything else. Suddenly everything between Bella and Jacob were gone, just because Jacob imprinted, but why, why, why did Bella's feelings just disappear. It was unrealistic.

If they make all the books into movies, are there any scenes, characters, or thoughts that Bella has that you think will be very hard to shoot or portray?
I'm really nervous about Kirsten being able to play zombie-Bella. It's a tough part; she has to look broken, thin and unhealthy. And how will they make Jacob grow spurt good enough? Haha, haw will they make werewolves without making them a cliché. HP did it great with Lupin, but will Twilight be able to do it?

And I'm breathing again tongue.gif
Ali_Jesus_Freak
Fantastic, I always thought there must be a Twilight thread on VTM, it was you guys who got me into it in the first place, and I finally found it! Yay!
Now this will be a LONG post, because I have to answer every question so far:


How many people have you introduced/cajoled/coerced in to reading the Twilight saga? And, did they like it?

Well, I only got into Twlight a month or so ago, but in that time I have coerced some of my friends into the series. Only a few of them have read it, but those who arent big readers and have ehard me talk constantly about them have become very excited about seeing the movie. I still havent converted my parents and best friend to Twilight-anity, my parents for one are very religious.

What do you think of Bella? Do you think she is an annoying emo? Do you like her character?
I'm afraid I was never a big Bella fan, I may be jealous of the fact that she got Edward, but I honestly found her a bit annoying. This would probably clear up for me if I read Midnight Sun, btu I honestly don't know what drew Edward to Bella! Was it just the can't-read-her-mind thing? I admit I did respect her in Breaking Dawn with the whole Renessme thing, I would have made the same choice she did, but in Eclipse...I'm sorry, but her struggle with her apparent love for Jacob really got to me. It really did.

What is everyone's most annoying Bella moment in the series? What does everyone think Bella's most endearing moment is?
Most annoying Bella moment.... As I mentioned earlier, her entire Eclipse appearance bugged me. The most annoying moment was the whole "I love Jacob, but I love Edward...werewolf or vampire? Oh, I can't decide! I'll just make out with Jacob, use Edward, then decide I want Edward later!" You know how lots of people on VTM didnt like Ginny? It's like that with me and Bella. But I did like her in Breaking Dawn, I respected ehr greatly, and I think a fair bit of her selfish nature was gone by this book. Even though I was always a die-hard Bella/Edward fan, I wasnt sure if I would be happy when they were together forever. But when she made the choices she did regarding Renesmee in Breaking Dawn, I really respected her, so when I finished the book, I was really happy that everything turned out well.

Did you think Bella got off too easily with her happily ever after at the end of Breaking Dawn?
I admit this did make me smile and think, "Ah Stephenie...really?" It was just so unlikely that things would be all Happily-ever-after! While I'm over-joyed that no Cullens died, and I did understand that the self-perparation thing would have contributed to Bella's self control, the fact that she had no new-born vampire tendancies, but as a new-born, managed to save the entire family with her newly discoverred Super-Ultra-Mega-Shield, but she mamages to temporarily get rid of it so that Ed can read her thoughts...I did think this was unlikely. But this didnt really bother me, an unhappy ending would have bugged me more.

What does everyone think Edward's most endearing moment is?
Ha, do you have an hour?? Haha, no, there were a few that made me love Edward even more. Apart fromt he countless "Edward" moments where he treated Bella like a princess, the bits I loved most were the bit in New Moon when he thought he was dead "Amazing, Carlisle was right...they're good, I didnt feel a thing!" and the pasrt with Bella's lullaby. Loved it.

So yeah, that's my very long post, I'm off to kiss my picture of Edward again! LOL, I'm kidding, I dont do that..... or do I?

YAY! NEW (hopefully) TRAILER<3

QUOTE
Shock Til You Drop has posted on their sit that a reliable source has informed them that the 'Twilight' theatrical trailer will debut in mid-October. You can read the whole story here.


UPDATE:

Here are a couple of films that have been speculated to premiere with the trailer:

1) High School Musical 3: Senior Year
2) City of Ember
3) Max Payne
4) Sex Drive


Mod Edit: Remember the one liner rules. Quioting someone else doesn't count. Be careful with future posts. Thanks

blush.gif oops ; let me make this longer. Umm ok well alot of people believe that it might be in the Sex Drive movie since they say its a Summit production while many hope that it DOESN'T appear in HSM3 ; Not many people will be happy if it is. I hope it isn't and I don't care what other movie it appears in.
hot-for-harry
That's so exciting about the new trailer! I'll be online watching it over and over again. Also I'm going to go see High School Musical 3(even though I'm not a big fan) just to see the Twilight trailer. It took long enough for it to be a movie. Or has it already been in the movies, besides Penelope? There hasn't been too many posts! That's kind of sad considering this is the Twilight thread sad.gif .
harrypotterlover1024
Ahh! I asked a new question, and then this thread basically died ohmy.gif I'm so sorry!

Did anyone see Stephenie Meyer on Ellen? I was kind of disappointed because she only asked her about 3 questions. I was really hoping she would maybe talk about Midnight Sun.

Okay new question:: What are your favorite quotes from the Twilight books?

Here's a few of mine, sorry if I don't get them all correct.

Well I love the whole How long have you been 17? A while thing. Also when Jacob is telling Bella about when Sam became a werewolf, and he says "and then Sam happened to run into Quils grandfather one afternoon. Sam shook his hand. Old Quil just about had a stroke." Haha it always makes me crack up.
Ahh I thought up this question on the way home, and I had so many favorite quotes, now I can't think of any more! I be back with more though smile.gif
hot-for-harry
Yea I did see Ellen! I was really disappointed. Everything she said, we had already known. Ellen was hilarious, but Stephenie was on there for about 3 minutes, while Meg Ryans and Neyo got awhile.

What are your favorite quotes from the Twilight books?

I don't know. I'd probably have to reread the books and find quotes while I'm reading biggrin.gif
I did like when Edward said that he believed Carlisle in New Moon. He didn't say that but he said something that implied that.

Honestly, I have say that there isn't anything to worry about with Kristen playing a zombie Bella. In her movie Speak, her character was a date rape victim- broken, confused, lost all her friends. Yes, she was four or five years younger than she is now- but if she impacted me that much at that age, she must have gotten a lot better as an actress. I think Kristen would do an exellent job as playing zombie Bella.

I can't think of any scenes that might be hard for Kristen-except maybe riding the motercycle or jumping off cliffs. I know for certain I'd be terrified to jump off a cliff!

As for my favorite quotes, I have a few.
I love in Twilight, when Bella got sick after her first run with Edward, and her head's between her legs, and he says "Bella, look at me." I just loved that line of his.
And basically, everything that comes out of Emmett's mouth is brilliant, I love him!
Moon(I luv you Luna)
Favourite Quotes:

"Amazing, Carlisle was right."

"Oh a sadistic vampire intent of tourturing her to death-no problem, she runs off to meet him. An I.V on the other hand ..."

"Fall down again, Bella?" "No i punched a werewolf in the face."

"You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?!"

And there's more, but these stand out to me. biggrin.gif

I agree, definately. Especially about Bella's feelings to Jacob. I get that imprinting would take Jacob's feeligns away, but surely Bella would still feel something? It's like imprinting solved everything. rolleyes.gif It was unrealistic, as you said.

Also, Twilight Story: I am basically scared of dogs, and as such, i would've been very reluctant to get a pet dog. So when my mother said "Guess what? We're getting a puppy!" i went into complete freak out mode. The point to this story? The good thing was, i got to name the puppy. What did i name her?

Why, "Nessie". happy.gif

Well... I've been thinking about this. We know that Jacobs feelings for Bella changed when he imprinted. We also know that Bella's feelings for Edward became stronger after her transformation. Maybe, when Bella changed.. her feelings for Jacob changed into being more brotherly, just like Jacob's became more of a sisterly love. Am I making any sense?? blink.gif

I agree with Honeybee. Except I always thought Bella knew her feelings were more brotherly than anything else, didn't she? Maybe it wasn't till after they were married that she finally realized what type of feelings she had for him...I don't know, but I had always gotten the impression that she felt that way toward Jacob she just could never convey that to him. I'm just glad that whole thing got resolved I don't care how it happened, it needed to end and it needed to end fast!

Favourite Quotes:

'No spiders?'
'Nope.'
'And no radioactivity?'
'None.'
'Dang,' I sighed.
'Kryptonite doesn't bother me either,' he chuckled."
-- Edward and Bella

"They don't understand why I can't leave you alone. "--Edward

"What if I'm not the superhero? What if I'm the bad guy?"--Edward

"Please, please,please, Please Bella, please - if you really love me...Please let me do your wedding." --Alice

"Take care of my heart. I've left it with you." --Edward

"You're wrong you know. You are worth it." --Jasper

And obviously the one in my avatar smile.gif

I thought of another favorite quote! When Emmett says, (and I don't have the book in front of me so sorry about not getting the wording mellow.gif ) "At least somebody scored around here!"

I love Emmett! He's so funny and probably a typical big brother. You've got to love Emmett!

Maybe, but I still think it was rather stupid. Feelings just don't go away. I think this was another example of that SM wrote this as she wanted rather what was realistic. The whole thing kind of fell apart in the last part where everything just happened as she wanted it to.

As for favourite quotes...
I love the part in the end where Bella says, ""This isn't about you anymore. You're not the centre of the universe, you know." My own personal universe, of course, was a different story."
It cracks me up everytime. But there's just so many that it's hard to choose. I love most of the Emmett situations, and Charlie is great at the funny things too. Especially during Eclipse.

Okay, so I wasked this in the first Twilight thread, but no one seemed to be able to anser it, I'll give it another try as it's bugging me...

We all know what Jasper can effect your emotions, right. And Alice explained to Bella in (oh, I don't remember which one now!) that Jasper's talent helps on Bella too because his thing doesn't do something in the mind, but the body instead. But he can do that on vampires too. But the vampires' hearts don't beat, ergo, there must not be running blood around their bodies to slow down or speed up, right? So how come he's able to manipulate with their emotions? It shouldn't be possible, or is there someone who can answer or clear this up for me?

Right, so I don't know the answer. There are a couple times when this happens in the books. She says something about vampires' bodies(the inside) and then she contradicts herself later in the book. I don't know the answer to this. It shouldn't be possible, so I guess we're just reading into it more than SM expected. happy.gif

I dont think he affects you emotions by doing things to your blood, so it probably has something else to do with your body. I remember Alice said something about endorphins(spl?).

Another thing about talents...So Bella can't be affected by anything that deals with the mind. So then wouldn't Renesmee's talent not work on her. Renesmee shows your her thoughts, feelings, or whatever she wants you to see. I'm guessing she puts these into your head, so why do you think Bella dosen't block it.

This was discussed in BD p. 663-664. When Bella, Edward, Renesmee, and Jacob go to hunt before the Volturi come, Bella starts to freak when she thinks her shield has holes. That's the first time she realizes that Nessie has always been able to show Bella her thoughts. Edward then explains that he thought about this the first time Nessie touched Bella and that he had two theories, one more likely than the other:

1. (Less likely theory) That Nessie is Bella's daughter and genetically half Bella. He reminded Bella that he had always teased her about how her mind was on a different frequency than everyone else and that maybe Nessie's works the same way.

2. He also reminds Bella about what Carlisle said to him about Nessie right after she showed Bella her first memory. "It's an interesting twist. Like she's doing the exact opposite of what you can." That Nessie took Bella's talent and flipped it. Bella keeps everyone out, and no one can keep Nessie out.

Hope that this made some sense... I tend to ramble!! biggrin.gif

Maybe it works differnent if you're human or vampire. Like it's a bit easier to control a human faster because you have more things to work with to control the emotions. Becuase we tend to let our emotions take over the temperature of our blood. How fast it pumps and so on. For a vampire you have to control there thought. Like make them believe they're calm. Make the atmosphere more calmer and when they loosen up he can penetrate them. I know this isn't said anywhere and it might contradict stuff but I seriously have always thought this.

And Honeybee what you're trying to say is that Nessie is not doing some new talent on Bella; It's the same talent just opposite, so it can still penetrate since its the same thing? I thought that maybe it's possible that they are on the same frequency huh.gif intresting.

TS readers Leonela and Alexandra has told us that she was watching Jeopardy the other day when a question came up regarding the series. The question (seen right) was this:

In "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, Teenager Isabella Swan falls for a romantic one of these blood-suckers.

The correct answer was "What is a vampire" and was worth $200. Thanks again to Leonela and Alexandra for the cool tip!

I promise to catch up with all the questions later but first I wondered have you all seen this?


This is the Edward Cullen doll and I want one now! I think it looks rather good as dolls go.

Anyway carry on......

I've never seen the Edward Cullen doll. Are there anymore Twilight dolls out there? I want one too. Are there any special features on it? That would be so cool if it could say a famous quote or two from the book!
harrypotterlover1024
Haha that Edward doll is kind of creepy.

Yeah, so right after I posted that question about how Bella doesn't block Renesmee's I went and read BD where I left off. I forgot they explained that in the book. haha it was right on the page I left off on.

Oh Elaine! That doll looks great!!! I know I am not part of the RPattz thread just yet (as they say on True Blood, I haven't come out of the coffin regarding such aspect yet, but I am about to! tongue.gif ) but I would also love a doll like that!!! Imagine cuddling with him at night... Hahaha!

As time goes by, I keep liking the actors cast for the movie more and more. I guess I'm getting used to them and that is alright. smile.gif Still, I wouldn't mind a Henry Cavill doll either!!! laugh.gif (guess who watches The Tudors every Thursday night... I do! I do!)

I don't collect dolls either, but this isn't just any doll. This is a Twilight, Edward Cullen doll. Much better than a Barbie, or action figure. I'd be afraid to break the doll though. You know accidentally pulling off its head or something. When I was younger I accidentally did that to a Barbie. biggrin.gif I'd probably just put it on my desk and sit there looking at it like an idiot!
etphonehome
But it's OK. If you pull the head off this doll it will rejoin and be perfect again. You have to cut it up into little bits and burn it to really destroy it!

I definitely have to just have to look at. It can stay in the box for all eternity....


hot-for-harry
That's right! I forgot it would reassemble! That makes me feel much better! And yeah, it can just stay in the box! Oh, I'm so happy! Now I don't have to worry about it if I pull off the head. Not that I could becuase it'll be in the box! biggrin.gif
nicky potter
Honestly I can actually see myself buying the doll and not even thinking about taking it out of the box. If I want to be able to take it out I have to buy two. One for a collection and the other for whatever purpose or use I'd like.

As for the "Why does Jasper's power work on vampires?" question, i'm assuming it's just because. Like why can Nessie show thoughts? Why can Alice see the future? Why can Edward read minds? Jasper's power works on vampires, as well as humans, just ... because.

Or that's my theory. happy.gif

Jaspers power use on Vampires...I think it works because it's an emotive thing. By that I mean that since vampire still have very strong emotional feelings, they are not just a human thing and his power can work to subdue them.

Also Tonner has said the they will be producing the whole range of Twilight dolls Clcik for full article!

If they cost anywhere near as much as the HP ones, they will be very expensive. They currently retail for around the $150 mark!

~I love that you included a quote from Jasper in here. It is so easy to have favorite quotes from Bella and Edward but not so much from the secondary characters.

~Yikes! $150 for a doll. I think I will stick with getting my kids a $12 Barbie or Bratz doll because I would just freak if they colored Edward's leg pink with marker wink.gif I don't even think I would buy this doll as a collector's item, not with the way the economy and gas prices are going.

Hey fellow Twilight fans! My name's Chelsea and I think I'll hang out here too if you don' t mind. There are only two people I know who like the Twilight Sega too, so it will be nice to discuss the books with other people.

Oh my goodness! I would never buy a doll for that much! And I have to say that doll of Edward was kind of creepy. unsure.gif There is no way to capture his beauty! happy.gif

I have a question and I hope this hasn't already been brought up. If it has, well just tell me and I'll shut my trap. happy.gif

What do you think about Forks becoming a tourist attraction? I was reading an article online about it.

I'm sorry but I think it's silly. happy.gif Some people have gone across the country just because Stephanie Myers used that place in her books. Apparently the small businesses in that town are making great profit from it all. laugh.gif It makes no sense to me. What do you think?

Chelsea

Hey there Chelsea so nice of you to join the Twilight family of VTM laugh.gif I hope you've read all four books because we might make random refrences to books that if you haven't read may be unfortunate.

Anywho, yes I showed that artice as well here a few pages back laugh.gif I beg to differ with you. I think that's so cool and cute that they actually went to the area where the book sets. I think it helps to like get the feel of Bella living there. I mean she was human and if you're there and you go back and read the books you'll defiently understand her. I don't know I think it's super cool and cute and I personally would've done the same happy.gif I mean the book was set to happen in Forks, Washington ; Not from the comfort of my couch lol So I don't know some people did think it was ridicuous but that's there opinion and yours.

Hope to have you around more often biggrin.gif We know so much about Twiight and love it so much even for our own good laugh.gif

Yeah, I have to agree with you Nicky. Until Stephenie Meyer, the economy of Forks was down the pan. Making it a tourist attraction for what ever reason can only be a good thing in these times of economic down turn. Jobs have been created and businesses are thriving. The countryside around the whole area is breathtaking and why shouldn't that be shared with the rest of the world. Places like Orlando are famous for their associations with something else. Everywhere that attracts tourists needs an angle if they want the punters to come and spend there money. I say long may it last...well at least long enough for me to save up enough to go there myself.

And Chelsea, welcome to the Twilight thread. I do hope you have read and enjoyed the books as much as we all have.

Well hello there, Chelsea! And hello everyone else, I'm back... mellow.gif School has been killing me.

So much has happened, I don't know what to say I can't think of it all! Something that comes to mind right now... I found out SM was gonna be on Ellen, and then I watched it and she was only there like, two minutes? Less? I was disappointed. sad.gif

What? Was there a picture of the doll? *goes to see* WOW!! That's amazing! I want it. But, hooo... 150 is alot. mellow.gif Oh well. *counts money* Or I can have it as all my birthday presents combined... Hmm. I'll have to think about that one. This is really something that would amuse me. biggrin.gif It was just a matter of time, wasn't it?

That article with Taylor and Rob and Kellan! I saw the picture and I was laughing my head off. Taylor looks absolutely clueless. laugh.gif I just love them.

I can't belive Nikki got her hair back to brown. I don't find it suits her very well, blonde looked much better on her! It... softens her.

The VMA scandal. Hmm. The host did annoy me. sleep.gif But NoMoreMarbles, as she does with everything else, brought out the positive side of things and made this hilarious video. I love her.

Not much time left! I really wish we'd get promotional pictures, though. dry.gif I mean I'd rather get them now than the day before the movie actually comes out! When are you guys seeing it? Usually I'd go the next day or a couple days later, but I have school the next day, I believe (isn't it a thursday?), and I don't think I'll stand it. I think I'll be going at midnight. smile.gif If I can get in! *sigh* WHY is it so complicated?

This is basically becoming a blog, so I think I'll get going now. happy.gif

hot-for-harry
Welcome to the thread Chelsea!

And yes, SM was only on for two minutes. Ellen was awesome with her vampire jokes in the beginning though. But SM didn't say anything new. I was really disappointed. I wonder if she talked to Meg Ryans and Neyo.

You said that there isn't much time left, but for me there's too much time still. Even though it is a school night, I'm going at midnight! I still can't believe I'm actually going to the midnight showing! This will be the first mdnight showing I've ever been to!

Am I missing something? What article are you talking about?

Personally, I think Nikki looks good either way. I think that the blonde was a bit too blonde. If it was a darker shade of blonde it might have looked better, but sometimes it looked incredibly fake! I like the brown though.

As for the previous discussion about Forks. I don't think I would like to go there, actually. That might sound weird, but I have a picture of what Forks would look like in my mind, and I don't want it to change. It's perfect right now!

It's great though that the businesses are doing better! I wonder if the citizens of Forks ever get tired of fans coming through. I only hope that Forks doesn't change and become a huge city. I hope that it stays just like the book Forks- quiet and small.

A couple months ago, I met a family who lives in Portland, Oregon. I started talking about the movie and asking them if they'd seen anybody or anything! They said they had never even heard of it! I was shocked. And disappointed. I was hoping for a little information about it, but apparently they lived in the wrong section of the town.

Oh well, I'm done now!
lupin<3tonks
I'm gonna sound like a broken record, lol, but Welcome Chelsea!! Hope you enjoy being in here and reading the Twilight thread! smile.gif

I have to agree with hot-for-harry, I wouldn't go actually visit Forks myself. I'm a fan but not that big of a fan smile.gif Plus I don't have any money!! But I like what you said etphonehome about how its great for the economy of Forks to have a tourist attraction! Anything to help them out is great, and I'm all for it! Its a wonderful thing to happen and I'm sure the people that live there are probably both greatful for it and maybe a little annoyed with all the visitors at times! I know if a bunch of people were visiting here where I lived I'd probably feel a mixture of both!

I think Twilight is coming out on a Friday right? So they would have a midnight showing on a Thursday/Friday...right? Unless they have like a sneak preview I don't know about that would be before that! But me and my sister are probably going to pre-order tickets and go on Friday since we don't have any classes on that day! Its our only day off from school so it wil be perfect!

nevillesgirl, I think you were quoting me on the whole Jasper quote..so thanks! smile.gif A lot of my favorite quotes are from Edward or Edward & Bella so it is nice to break away from the norm and have a quote from someone else! Besides, I thought that was one of the sweetest moments of the whole series!

I wouldn't get the doll...too too too much money! I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway! I'm dissappointed about Ellen too, I was hoping she would talk about Midnight Sun! Oh well! It probably wouldn't have mattered, she'd have probably said the same thing that we all already know!

MTV talks to cast about Twilight reshoots


There is another article online now concerning the recent reshoots the filmmakers have held for Twilight to create a few additional scenes. MTV spoke with Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene before a Teen Vogue party and got this info:

"What are we allowed to say?" Reed wondered aloud, teasing us while she thought back to the top-secret shoot. "I think all we can say is, there were a few days when there were some weather issues [during the original shoot earlier this year] and some time issues, and a few things that could have been done better. And they were."

"There were a lot of additional scenes," Reed explained. "I think when they saw the film, I mean this is kind of a guess, but I think that they realized that it could use a little bit more of the old element, so I think the flashbacks focused on that."

See a video and find out more right here.


I don't know about many of you but I'm getting super excited already for the movie and I want to see that new trailer woot.gif and I want to make my team edward pants !
By the way Halloween is next month, for those that do celebrate it, what are your plans?

My friend [who is making the pants with me] and I are going to ddress up as a baseball playing vampire biggrin.gif we're going to print CULLEN on the back and in the front somehting else happy.gif exciting<3
Nasuada
Thank you all for your warm welcomes! happy.gif

nicky potter, Your outfit idea for the baseball playing vampire is great! happy.gif That sounds like a lot of fun. I can't say that I really have thought about Halloween yet. I dressed up last year, but I haven't gone trick-or-treating in about three. I should think up something Twilight related too. That would be fun.

Yes! I want to see another trailer too! And I'm so excited about the movie! That's the only movie I'm really looking forward to in the near future right now. Well, the only movie I know of. I'm so excited for it, but I'm also really scared. I don't want it to taint anything about the book in my mind. It's so horrible! I want to see it, but I don't at the same time. I'll end up seeing it though. Of that I am certain. happy.gif

Oh I was thinking about Halloween today and that I wanted to do something Twilight related. All this new info about the scenes, and other things are getting me so excited for the movie! I'm going at midnight with a bunch of my friends, even thought its a school night. It was originally going to be just me and my one friend, but we have gotten all of our friends to read the books! I haven't yet met a teenage girl who isn't super obsessed with the books. Has anyone had a friend that they gave the book to, and then they hated it? It would be interesting to see why some people might not like the books. (Though I would have no idea why! happy.gif ).

I can't wait to see the trailer in the theates! That will make it so much better to see it on the huge screen. Does anyone know which movies they said the trailer would come out with?
nicky potter
Oh ahaha that's so funny! I was in the same thing xD originally it was going to be me and my team edward pants making friend only. Since that day, I have lend my books out to my other friends and now I'm going with a HUGE group of friends. And since majority rules we're going afterschool even though I wanted to go to midnight.


Alright Twilight news biggrin.gif

New interview with Jackson Rathbone


QUOTE
The actor who plays Jasper in Twilight recently spoke with Jackson Rathbone Online. In it, they catch up with him on activities outside of the film:

How has everything been for you since wrapping up Twilight?
Very busy. I like it that way. Between filming and playing music, I sleep and eat.

We've read that you've lived in many different places around the world, which place was your favorite to live in and why?
Midland, Texas. Good people. Plus, I love Texas.

Read much more at JRO


Edward, Rosalie, and Carlisle in the hospital


A new interview by PopWrap with Peter Facinelli (who plays Carlisle) has a new picture of the actor alongside Edward and Rosalie Cullen.

PopWrap spoke to Facinelli mainly about the 10th Anniversary DVD of Can't Hardly Wait, but they also go into some Twilight stuff:

PW: You sport a very different look as Carlisle Cullen - bleach blond hair - do you like it? Peter: When I first went blond, I didn't think it was working, but it looks so good on film. That's the other thing about Catherine - she's like my wife in the sense that she can go into a bare home and visualize what it's going to look like just from the foundation. Catherine can look at you and see the character within, you don't have to walk into the room looking like them. She'll take care of that.

interview with Peter.

and even though this picture is small ; i'm sorry there's nothing bigger right now, this is a new hospital scene with Rosalie, Carlisle and Edward biggrin.gif clickk
Witherwings
Ooh, thank you for all these articles! I don't think I would ever end up buying that doll either. dry.gif If I actually did, it would only be if I really, really wanted it, which I, well... I mean it's not the first thing on my mind. ermm.gif

My friend is dressing up as a vampire for Halloween. Not a sparklepire, though (I totally stole that from a livejournal site). smile.gif I don't know why!

The bigger picture can be found here. I've seen better quality, but I'm not sure if I'm aloud to link to it or not. huh.gif

Okay, I really want more pictures. When you think about it, there really are no promo pics! It's all videos and set pictures! Opposite of HP. And we need some Esme... maybe on a Twilight Tuesday or something, I'm hoping. And I'm still looking for YouTube videos of last Twilight Tuesday, so if you find any let us know. smile.gif
