From Rotten Tomatoes http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/twilight_saga_eclipse/news/1857422/5_facts_about_the_twilight_saga_eclipse

Fact #1: It's Darker       

The brand new poster for Eclipse (above) hints at a darker tone with its brooding storm clouds. With 30 Days of Night director David Slade at the helm, it's unsurprising. "Every movie is different because we work with a different director on each one, which I love,"  Taylor Lautner tells RT. "David Slade is perfect for the third film because it's darker. Eclipse was my favourite book."

Ashley Greene, who plays vampire Alice, tells RT that Slade isn't just a prince of darkness. "David is actually hysterical," she laughs, "He has such a dry sense of humour that sometimes you don't know if he's kidding or not. Eclipse will be amazing because he has made it far edgier and more dramatic. It's going to look very cool."

Fact #2: There Will Be Less “Love Story” and More “War”

“Eclipse isn’t as intimate as Twilight or New Moon,” Robert Pattinson explains to us. “We’re at war, so I get to interact with more characters, not just Kristen. You’ll also find out more about the other members of the Cullen family. It just feels bigger.” But — fear not, Twihards — that isn’t to say the love story is cast aside altogether. “New Moon set up a love triangle with Bella, Edward and Jacob,” says Lautner. “So we explore that further in Eclipse. It’s a tough situation for all of them because Bella is torn between two guys, Jacob can’t get the girl that he loves and then there’s Edward, with all of his issues.”

Fact #3: The Werewolves Will Crank Up the Sex Appeal

“We all know the appeal of the vampire family,” says Nikki Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie. “But the werewolf boys are on a whole different level. They interact with a youthful, playful, comfortable warmth. It’s very sexy.”

As for Pattinson, he admits that his personal jealousy about Taylor Lautner’s newly-ripped physique actually comes in handy for the role. “In Eclipse, Taylor and I have lots of scenes together where we have to be jealous and petty with each other,” he says. “So it helps that I actually do feel inadequate when I see his body, especially because he’s younger than me. He fulfills every criteria of what teenage girls want, physically, in a guy. I felt like a had to prove myself against him.”

Fact #4: There's More Action

"Filming Eclipse actually changed my life," says Nikki Reed of the arduous training regime the cast had to endure. "I have never been so fit -- this is the first time in my life I have actually had a bicep. It's bizarre to compare how we look now to how we all looked in the first movie. The entire cast turned up on set for Eclipse looking super-buff."

New cast member Bryce Dallas Howard tried to play a prank on the crew during one stunt, but she didn't count on Pattinson's awkwardness. "We had a fight scene where Bryce had to grab my hair," he laughs. "So she took a clump of hair from my stunt double's wig and was going to pretend she had pulled it from my head. She told me to scream and storm off set, but it was so embarrassing. She had this huge clump of hair in her hand, and I was like 'oww,' really unconvincingly."

While the rest of the cast were having fun with stunts, spare a thought for poor Taylor Lautner. "Eclipse is a lot more physical for my character," he explains, "but any time I have any kind of action, I'm a wolf, so it's all done with CGI. It's a bummer."

Fact #5: The Ending Will Be Nicely Set Up For a Fourth - And Perhaps Fifth - Film

There are four books in The Twilight Saga: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. But Ashley Greene gave RT the strongest indication yet that there might be five films. "We have finished filming Eclipse and one would assume that, if New Moon does as well as Twilight, then we'll start filming Breaking Dawn next year," she says.

"The only thing is, Breaking Dawn is a very large book so it would be a really long movie. We're thinking they might decide to split it into two parts, like they did with Harry Potter. Either way, we need to get on with shooting them because, unlike Harry Potter, vampires don't age. So we all need to look the same!"

Etsy is a place where creative folks sell their stuff. There's some wonderful things there, seriously.

The contents of this post isn't one of them.  It appears that you can now purchase and bath yourself with peen soap molded after Edward, Carlisle and Emmett (wtf no Jasper?!) and Bella's vag.

I found this almost at the same time posted on a lj comm and trolling Etsy in search of Twilight Xmas cards to send to people.

P.S.

I just popped my posting cherry, what a way to do it too!

PPS

The history major in me is raging, Edward and Carlisle peens wouldn't be cut... Emmett's maybe because the practice started to become popular during the time of his human birth.

I love Peter Facinelli this was so funny

I updated the last chapter of my fanfiction Hell and I'm just so proud of myself, I feel like sharing it with everyone! It's the first time in my life that I actually complete something I started writing! So YAY me! ^^

What about you writers out there? What are you like? Do you update really really fast to get it all out there? Do you take your time? Do you get bored easily with your own stories? Tell me all! ^^

Incentive: Robert Pattinson in a leather jacket! ^^

So, I was inspired by the lovely wolvesnvamps post.

I wonder what Meyer thinks of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Particularly, of this:

So, I hate it when people think actors should be good role models. The Twilight actors are young people, they have their own lives. Poor kids didn't realize how big of phenomenon Twilight would be when they signed on. So I aint hating.

But still, I know when I was 15 year old hoodlum, I would have gotten kick out of my favorite actors partying it up like me. And Robert Pattinson sure as hell makes cigarettes look tasty.

Thoughts?

Be forewarned, Robert Pattinson; you're about to receive an invitation that it would be best to think twice (and maybe thrice) about before accepting.

“She’s planning on having a huge blood and guts vampire party on New Year’s Eve at her house...Amy thinks Robert is cool and loves the sexuality around vampires.”

GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU CRACKHEAD.

LET'S MAKE THIS FUN-TELL ME WHAT CELEBRITIES YOU WOULD INVITE TO YOUR DINNER PARTY & WHAT QUESTIONS YOU WOULD ASK THEM.

I have just spent the past three hours getting a mind-numbing, not to mention ass-numbing from sitting down to long, lecture on how God is real. Tip for the day? Never tell a Christian you don't believe in God.

Anyway, I am feeling on the border of crazy here.

Any Darkward or Mentalward fictions?

Please :)

My friend just sent this to me and I had to share. To make this interactive, let's discuss our FIRST KISSES! Who was he/she? Was it good? Bad? lifechanging?

I just popped my campfire cherry!  YAAAY!

Ok...I'm exhaused just getting home from four hours of Black Friday shopping.  I set out to obtain the seasons of Friends, and I managed to get all 10!  To quote Chandler Bing..."Could I be more excited?!"  I'm not gonna lie...I'm a shopper and I get called Alice Cullen sometimes.  At least I think it's because I'm a shopper...maybe it's because I've got short hair, am kind of strange and can be annoying at times...

My sister-in-law and I went to Wal-Mart for the soul purpose of getting cheap DVDs, Rubbermaid food storage containers and New Moon the Game.  We got everything but the game.  I am a sad panda.

Lettuce discuss Black Friday.  Did you go shopping this morning?  What were you looking for?  What did you actually get?

From: The Devin's Advocate: Why Breaking Dawn Must Be Made Into a Movie

With New Moon likely to make yet another metric fuckload of money this weekend we need to find the bright side to the entire Twilight mania. There must be something good that comes from this awful Mormon fantasy that seems to have invaded our culture on every front. That something is the eventual movie version of Breaking Dawn.

A werewolf falling in love with a baby. This is why Thomas Edison invented this shit in the first place. So we could see a werewolf fall in love with a baby.

_________

Well, I would still go see it....

Are you looking foward to Breaking Dawn the movie???

Funniest Rob interview ever..

Thanks to the lovely ladies at Pattinsonlife on lj for the heads up <3

 can anyone give anything about TWILIGHT that might erase BOREDOM?!

So today I was watching "Wicked Attraction" and it was the story of Alton Coleman and Debra Brown. He was a cocky sociopath who purposely courted this woman, made her dependent on him, and then went on an 8 week killing spree with her as a willing participant.

A forensic psychologist talked about their roles with each other, and during the trial, she said something along the lines of:

Debra would do anything to make Alton happy and confessed her love for him. While Alton didn't feel anything for her and would have killed her the instant she became useless to him.

so of course I thought of James and Victoria.

Lettuce discuss the times you were watching/seeing/doing something true life that made you think of the twi-verse. (include fanfics)

So... During Thanksgiving Dinner tonight in front of my family and friends I announced that I am thankful for the following: My super kewl friends on da interwebs, Fanfiction, and Taycob's abs. Srsly.

So I know we've all talked about what we are thankful for, but I'm wondering what you all announced at dinner that you were thankful for...?

I'm also pretty thankful for this:

SO I AM THINKING ABOUT XMAS SINCE TODAY IS TURKEY DAY

LET'S MAKE X-MAS LISTS FOR OUR FRIENDS

Here is what I am getting everyone--

Edward:

Renesmee:

Jacob:

Bella:

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart ‘Want Kids’

Yea-ummm-I think I am going to avoid Lion_Lamb tonight.

Pardon me while I channel a little Beyonce and call out all the single ladies, unsingle ladies I'll have to call you out without any popstar references.

So, I spent the last week couch hopping and at the Four Seasons in Vancouver BC and I totally had a blast, unfortunately I was mostly without internet which means I missed out on all the New Moon fun here on the forest. Whiggity Whack! So, if you'll all indulge me here for a minute I would like to discuss how this whole team team Edward/Jacob thing has gone down in realm of the movies.

I'm assuming we can all agree that New Moon totally blew Twilight out of the water with it's level of awesomeness. But I found after viewing it that I was disturbingly pro-Jacob which is insane because I can't stand Jacob in the books. He goes from annoying, over eager kid; to big, pushy, post-wolf brute.

I've spent the week trying to put my finger on why I feel this way and I am beginning to think it has to do with the failure that Twilight was. They totally didn't develop Edward and Bella's relationship in that film and then Edward was gone from New Moon in the first 20 minutes. In the mean time they gave Jacob some guile, and a sense of humor, and made him a lot sweeter. It's totally blowing my mind to be feeling warm and fuzzy about Jacob, I don't like it.

So you tell me guys, was this your experience with the movies as well? What should they do in Eclipse to redeem the Edward/Bella connection? Does it need to be redeemed at all? We're you always team Jacob and think I should shut my damn mouth? Talk to me about our romantic heros! It's my Thanksgiving request.

In honor of our favorite vampire doctor, the super sexy, Carlisle, Peter Facinelli's b-day the Rangers have approved this SPAM post-so go nuts! Post pics-tell us about your day-ANYTHING GOES!
