PETA Honnors Twilight: Most Animal Friendly Movie
This is almost too funny/WTF.
PETA (People for the Ethical Trement of Animals) gave the Twilight movie the 2008 Libby award for "Most Animal Friendly" movie of the year.
UMMM, two things here:
1) The "Vegetarian Vampire" is not in the literal sense, they drink the blood of animals
2) A deer is killed by said vampire(s) in the first 40 seconds of the movie, followed by a flashback scene in which Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie, & Edward; break a buck's neck with the intent on drinking its blood.
I would really like to know what Twilight movie PETA saw.

Twilight Movie #1 and New Moon News
As many of you know, Twilight was released into theaters on Friday. Today is Saturday, and in its first day out, the movie has grossed $35 million dollars, making it the second highest grossest non-summer movie release (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is number one). Box office counting firms are now saying that Twilight could easily gross well over $75 million in its first weekend.
That being said, with the news of its settler opening weekend Summit Entertainment announced this morning that the second novel in the Twilight Saga series New Moon has been green lit for production. This means that they expect Twilight to gross at least $150 million during its box office run.
This is exciting news for all of us Twilighters.

Twilight Movie - My thoughts
I have just returned from the midnight showing of Twilight. As most of you who read my blog will know I have been counting down to this day as I am a huge fan of the books.I went into this an open mind, as I'm very much aware that when ever you take a book and make it for the screen things are going to change and might be slightly different from the novel.
That being said here is what I thought.
First off the movie is 2 hours, up 30 minutes from what was originally said to be. I've read a lot of the critics reviews, and have to disagree with about 95% of the them. As a fan watching the movie, I thought they did a good job of fitting a 500+ page book into a 120 page screenplay. All the characters from the book were there, some as a much but that didn't really make a difference. The only part I was not thrilled with was some of the special effects. I would have liked to see more of the super cool vampire stuff, I understand that the budget wouldn't really allow for it. I am still a undecided about the "sparkle" effect, so I'll get back to you on that one.
As we were promised, all the main story points were there. Some were condensed for timing, some were kinda lumped together in a way, but in a way that I feel make it work. At no point in the movie did I think " okay lets move it along here", to be honest when the prom scene came along, I was like whoa, its over, the 2 hrs went by quick.
A lot of the other reviews were wishing for a lot more of Bella and Edward scenes, I almost feel I have to remind them that this is told from Bella's point of view, and that we get more B&E later on the series, once they are together and not just to trying to figure each other out.
Kristen and Rob, I feel did a great job at portraying those two. There were a couple of times in during the movie when it was so quiet, I looked around and all of us girls pretty much had the same look on our faces, something along the lines of an "open mouthed OMG blank look".
I also liked the voice over, that is where some of the best lines from the book are blended into the movie, it was very documentary style, which fit. Anyone who has never read the book would be able to see the movie and not get lost and wonder "what the hell".
I highly suggest that ya'll go see the movie, it rocked. Was it as good as the book, no, but I never thought it would be. It was an awesome adaptation of a great novel.
Anyone want to make a bet on how many times I see this in the theatre? The record is 15 for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Let me know in the comments.

Twilight + Total Eclipse of the Heart = AWESOME
Okay, so for those of you don't know, I have a special connection to the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler. Nikki, Kay and Joanna also share this connection.
I also love Twilight.
Therefore, I found this article on eonline.com today and found it fitting to my life.

Twilight Soundtrack
The soundtrack to the Twilight movie is available now instores or for download on iTunes. The digital version has 3 bounus tracks.
I got mine early last night. Its awesome, there are some very good choices and I'm excited to see where they are in the movie. I also really enjoyed the two songs by Rob Pattinson. Bella's Lullaby is taking some getting used to. I kinda had my own version playing in my head for the last few months, so to hear an actual version takes some getting used to, but it is very pretty.
Even if your not planning on seeing the movie (which you should) the soundtrack is worth getting.
16 more days!!!!

Cullen Contacts
So, keeping with the Twilight theme here, I've decided to go with "cullen" colored contacts for my halloween costume this year instead of straight black colored lenses. After looking at a ton of places online that sell cosmetic lenses, I found a site that actually sells "amber" colored contacts. These are pretty damn close to the contacts from the movie. So, woo hoo, a less creepy look this year. I'll be sure post pictures of my costume after halloween.

True Blood... The adult Twilight????
So, I was sitting at home with TJ last night, putting off packing for out trip, when we started talking about True Blood, a new vampire series on HBO. I was saying how much I really wanted to see it, cuz we all know I love me some vampires.
The catch is I cancelled HBO, didn't feel the need to pay for it. I can't bring myself to pay $20 a month so I can watch one show.
So, after googling it, I found a sight where I can watch the show for free!!!
TJ and I started watching it and couldn't help but notice how similar the characters are to those from Twilight, only not show PG-13 and more R.
SO, I now have a way to get some kind of Twilight/Vampire fix till Twilight comes out on 11/21.
oh, also True Blood is based off a series of books, so of course I'll be buying and reading those as well.

Breaking Dawn was Awesome
***Spoiler Free***
So just in case any of you read my blog ever decide to go with what I say and read the Twilight novels, I will be nice and won't spoil the events in this book (okay, well maybe one but SM let it loose before the book came out any way).
After weeks of torment, I was finally able to read Breaking Dawn the last novel (from Bella's POV) in the Twilight series.
I have to say, I was totally shocked about all the events (except one) in this book. It went in a totally different direction than I thought it was going to go. That's not to say I'm not 100% happy with the way it turned out, just there were a lot of OMG moments.
The wedding at the very beginning was very nice to see (the one spoiler), glad to see Bella didn't chicken out of that.
All in all, I'm very happy with the book, I read it the 1st time through in a lil under 15hrs (I had to get some sleep).
I am now in the process of re-reading all the books, straight through, so I can get the lil hints SM said were left in both New Moon and Eclipse.
Now, I just have to wait for the Twilight Movie...which thankfully is now coming out on 11/21/08 due to HP6 being pushed back to next summer.
Now, do as I say and read these books :-)
Breaking Dawn Concert and Release Party
I am fully aware that this post is about ohhh, 20 days or so late, but in my defense I was busy reading my new book, and also I misplaced my camera cord :-)
So the concert was pretty cool, shorter that what I thought is was going to be (a little over an hour). Justin F of Blue October was AWESOME!!! He played some new songs (that won't be out till March) as well as some of the songs that SM felt went with the Twilight Books.
The Q&A session with SM was pretty good, since the new book wasn't out yet she couldn't really answer any questions on that, but still good none the less.
Then the mayhem stated, after the "concert" was over SM was doing an autograph session. I personally do not think this was very well planned out. There were over 2,000 people there and it was really hot inside, and everyone was trying to push through the door. It was at this time I decided that since I already had SM autograph on my book plus a picture with her, I was going to pass at this autograph session. Sooo, off I went to the release party.
Borders was kind enough to provide a free shuttle bus from the Nokia Theater to there store off 34th and 7th. This was good, it saved me about $10.00 in cab fare. Well I was waiting in line for the shuttle, I notice a group of girls that I saw at the GMA interview the previous day. We ended up sitting next to each other on the bus. It was two girls and one of the girl's Mom. They were all really nice. Once we hit Borders, we went our sepurate ways; I really didn't have an interest in partaking in the activites of the night (I just wanted my book), so I pulled out my copy of Eclipse, got a large coffee, a cozy place to sit (the floor in the economics section) and just chilled.
Low and behold, when the time came to line up to get our books, the same group I sat with on the shuttle were right behind me in line....this led to some chatting. The girls were Sara and Palwasha and Sara's mom Nancy. They were a lil shocked to see such a big Twilight fan who was 27yrs old, but there I was in all my glory.
Above: Sara, Nancy, Me, Palwasha
I finally got my books, and after Nancy was kind enough to give me a ride home (again saving me from the cab fare) I got to work reading (a different blog to come on that.
All, I say that evening was ..... A success

Twilight Comic Con Clip
So I am totally geeking out at this momment. Yesterday was the first day of Comic Con, a not so little event held in San Diego every year.
Now, normally I have no such desire to attend this event, I'm not that big a geek, but when I heard that the cast of Twilight was doing a Q&A panel session, I had the huge desire to get my little but to SD.
This did not happen as the event sold out and it was way too expensive. But thanks to people who were able to go, this was posted earlier today. It is an extended clip of the Ballet Studio scene that MTV aired on June 3rd.
So, enjoy, scream, jump up and down (I'm doing all that on the inside).
