Twilight Tuesday


This week has a great interview with Cam (James) and it's a couple minutes long. You can view the article and interview here on MTV.

"MTV: If James were somehow allowed to come back in the sequels, how would he do battling a werewolf?

Gigandet: That would be tough. You know, he lost to Edward, so he can't be that much of a badass."

Twilight Dolls?!


According to Twilightsource.com, Tonnor Doll Company will be making character based figures off of the Twilight Movie! The full article is here or you can read more about Tonnor Doll Company here.

Stephenie's Music Video


A while back it was announced that Stephenie would be directing a music video for Jack's Mannequin's new song "The Resolution". Well now it has been released online! You can view it at any of these places online:

MTV
Youtube
Stephenie's official site

I will also be posting the video in the video links over on the right hand side of the site.

New photo


New York Post Pop Wrap scored an interview with Peter Facinilli (Carlisle) and also posted a new picture of Robert Pattinson, Nikki Reed, and Peter Facinilli. You can view the article here. The article itself is not just for Twilight, it's mainly just about Peter Facinilli's film "Can't Hardly Wait" and its 10th anniversary. The Twilight portion of the interview is towards the bottom along with the photograph.

Twilight baby names!!


Babynames.com has devoted a page on their site to Twilight names. Anyone having a baby soon? lol I thought this was pretty cool. Don't go there though if you haven't read all of the books, because obviously they have names from Breaking Dawn. It's also useful if you want to look up descriptions of characters in the series. Then again you could always do that at the lexicon, but still is useful. =D

Update on SM's website

Stephenie has recommended a book for everyone:
---------------------------------------------------------

September 17, 2008

People often ask me for reading suggestions, and I'm always happy to share because books are exciting things to me. My latest excitement is this: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it. I've been recommending it to total strangers in Target. And now to everyone who reads my website. The Hunger Games is amazing.

Maybe I'll check this one out haha

Update on Stephenie Meyer's website


Set updated the website with just some regular news about the extra books about/for the saga near the end of this year and Stephenie's appearance on Ellen tomorrow. Here's the original post:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

September 16, 2008

Good news — Stephenie will be on The Ellen DeGeneres Show tomorrow, Wednesday, September 17th! To find out what time the show airs in your area, click here to use their cool map and schedule. I hope you enjoy the show!

A few weeks ago we announced the new editions and books coming out in the next few months. Only two of them currently have release dates on Amazon.com, so I thought I would post links to those two so that you can read what they're all about. The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide comes out at the end of December, and Twilight (Mass Market Paperback) comes out on October 28, 2008. And, speaking of the Twilight Saga, if you haven't ever been to Borders Twilight Saga page, and you have some time to kill, I would suggest checking out some of their exclusive videos.

And one final link... the Twilight READ Poster is being sold by the American Library Association. A lot of people have asked me about posters in the past, and I thought that this one is very cool.

Have a great day!

It's arrived!!!


Ahhhh yes. Just as I have hoped it arrived right on my birthday, framed and beautiful.  My parents bought me an official Double-sided Twilight movie poster online.  This is possibly one of the best birthday presents ever.  Now....where to hang it? 

Looking for your own Twilight movie poster?  Check Amazon and Ebay for good deals.  I know I sure got one. =D

My new favorite Twilight Song



Ok so i haven't been all that impressed with all of the Twilight themed music going around lately, until I came across this song.  It's name is Undone by Kat Tingey and I absolutely love it.  I can't stop listening to it!  The lyrics aren't in any way cheesy and perfectly portray the Twilight saga.  I found it on Myspace here on Kat Tingey's myspace page.  Look for her new album at the end of 2008.  Just wanted to share that with you =]

Well today is Bella's 21st birthday so we'll have to do something special =]  Wear your twilight t-shirts today to show your support for Stephenie Meyer and that you are wishing Bella a happy happy birthday (even if she hates it haha) Lets hope she excepts whatever Edward gives her.  Happy celebrating!


EDIT: spoiler don't read any further if  you haven't read BD!!  
yes, bella is a vampire now, but it doesn't mean she doesn't have an age.  The Cullens have celebrated Carlisle's birthday before, remember?

Want Twilight Merchandise??

Hot Topic has updated their online store with new Twilight merchandise. I have already bought a shirt and I absolutely love it. Check it out here

Very Upsetting

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BREAKING DAWN. you have been warned.


Recently I was sent a message on youtube telling me about this website that has upset me very much. The people on it claim they aren't haters, but that's honestly what the site is. It's a hate site for the Twilight series. The people on the site disliked Breaking Dawn so much that they have created a petition against it. It supposedly had about 1,000 signatures. They even sent it to Stephenie's brother Seth to try to be heard. The petition is not legal as it is done online but it is still upsetting. This is the website: The Dark Side

Here is what i sent back to the person who made me aware of the website.

I absolutely loved breaking dawn. Thank you for sending this too me. Everyone who has ever read breaking dawn and loved it has every right in the world to be upset and moody about this. I certainly am and would like to voice it.

What I would like to say to the creator of the petitioner:

Oh come on. People really need to stop doing this. The way they were criticizing her was way out of line. they were saying such things as "8 year olds are reading about sex, abortion, and pregnancy and she's proud of it?" Stephenie had the entire series in her head before it became so popular. Would you change the work you envisioned just to please a few mothers and other adults? It's like a painting with nudity in it. It's art, and you don't denounce it. Cover your child's eyes if you don't want them to see something that a true artist has created. The same goes for literature. You can't keep your children protected from everything in the world no matter how hard you try, I'm sorry but you just can't. Also they are FICTIONAL characters. This isn't happening in real life. Anything can happen. Why would you question how a vampire can get a human pregnant? Science can't answer that for you because it ISN'T real, it's in a book for crying out loud. These people sound like they're looking for complicated scientific answers to everything Stephenie Meyer has created. She's not a scientist, she's an author with a creative mind. The creator of this petition acts as if the Twilight characters are hers and they made up the rules. He/she claims that they are not trying to hurt stephenie meyer's feelings with these harsh criticisms, but how would you feel if you created something that was so great and then someone comes along and says, no your imagination was wrong, this is the way it should be. It's like people are telling the creators of sesame street that they didn't truly imagine big bird to be yellow, he's actually green. You can't expect someone to take that lightly. She has come a long way since 2005 and still has much to learn. Although she may not seem it, she truly is still a new writer. JK rowling has had over 10 years in the writing industry. You really can't compare the experience. They both are very talented authors who have the gift of writing something that a wide variety of people love. I'm not meaning to call Stephenie lacking, because she certainly isn't. There is always is room for improvement though. I am a 15 year old highschool freshman addressing a realm of middle aged adults. Of course some of you don't like it, she could have actually tried to write something to please every single twilight reader out there but it truly is impossible. The plot was envisioned and thus written down. It is the way it is and I don't understand why they are petitioning against it. It's not like you could wipe the book off the face of the planet, and you can't stop Stephenie Meyer from writing down her stories that so many people enjoy. You may call me rude and ignorant for this note but it's the truth. Stephenie Meyer has absolutely no reason to respond to those signatures, the opinions are voiced and even acknowledged by the official sites webmaster. What more do they want? An official letter hand written by Stephenie herself? a box of chocolates saying "i'm sorry i disappointed you?" It's ridiculous to criticize a book like that. Sorry, but it is.

-----------------------------------------------
There I have voiced my opinion. Oh and also a few days after I found out about this, Stephenie posted her faq about Breaking Dawn and answered almost everything those petitioners were doubting. I laughed when she explained about how a human can get pregnant with a vampire's child. View the faq here

The News

The rating of Twilight has finally been released! It has been rated pg-13. RopeofSilicon.com received the most recent movie ratings and Twilight was on the list! In my opinion this is just the right rating for the movie. If it had been rated any less or any more we, the fans, would definitely be questioning the content of the movie and how true it really did stick to the book. If they do decide to make more of the Twilight Saga into movies, then probably all of them are going to be pg-13. If they did Breaking Dawn it would be impossible to stick 100% to the book due to the explicit content in it. They would need to change a lot of key scenes in the movie for it. I hope they do make all of the books into movies though. It would be really cool to see.

Also Stephenie Meyer will make an appearance on Ellen on Wednesday, September 17th so don't forget to check your local listings for when Ellen will be showing in your area.
