Interesting Quote: Stephen King

“I read Twilight and didn’t feel any urge to go on with her. I read The Hunger Games and didn’t feel an urge to go on. It’s not unlike The Running Man, which is about a game where people are actually killed and people are watching: a satire on reality TV. I read Fifty Shades Of Grey and felt no urge to go on. They call it mommy porn, but it’s not really mommy porn. It is highly charged, sexually driven fiction for women who are, say, between 18 and 25. But a golden age of horror? I wouldn’t say it is. I can’t think of any books right now that would be comparable to The Exorcist.”

New Teaser Trailer: Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2

Pat Robertson thinks "Twilight" is Demonic

Pat Robertson said on his Crazy People's show "The 700 Club," that movies like "Twilight" are evil and demonic. In fact, he claimed that one of the films caused a girl to be possessed by a demon. Personally, it probably made her horny.

Anywho, this is what Robertson said:

"Yes, I think those vampire movies are evil," Robertson said. "There are no vampires, the whole thing is demonic, and it may give you some kind of thrill -- whee! -- of the spooky, supernatural, but it opens the door to the occult."

Oh Pat, please get a frakking clue.

My Review: "Twilight: Breaking Dawn"

I was invited to a screening of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" last night. Mainly because of my blog and my dislike of the series. The 'group' wanted me to do a review of the movie, just to see if I would actually like it.

I said sure and decided to go for it. So here is my review of the teen vampire drama:

• The wedding toast was the best part of the 1st 30 minutes.
• Jacob also took off his shirt in the 1st 4 minutes.
• Bella is not the girl others girls should look up to. She does everything for Edward and not for herself.
• Jacob comes off as bi-polar in every scene.
• The film sent the message that marriage solves everything, even dating demons.
• I found it interesting that in their vampire history, there has never an incident of a vampire/human baby. What about Blade?

• The pact the werewolves have with the Cullens is silly.
• There should be more about 'imprinting' (werewolves finding their mates).
• Bella seemed to happy about dying throughout the series. Great role model, eh?
• The love making scene was kind of funny, they actually broke the bed. Vampire cock must be sublime.
  
• And speaking of vamp sex, it's also abusive. Apparently, vampires are like Klingons when it comes to sex.

•  The soundtrack was cute, but it reminded me of Dawson's Creek.
• The baby idea feels like a mix of the movies 'Grace' and 'It's Alive'.

• Bill Condon did a great job on this film.
• While I'm not a fan, it was a good movie.

So it's good, but I like my vamps deadly without sparkles.

Interesting Quote: Stephenie Meyer

"I know that's what everyone cares about. I also know that the right answer would be for me to say 'Oh yah, it's done! And it'll be out next month!' But that's not true. It's also not true that I've got a ton of work done on it, and that's what I'm working on. What's true is that I'm really burned out on vampires. And, I don't want to write it badly. So I want to wait until I'm excited about the material again, and I'm excited about Edward, and that it's something that's motivating. You know, when a story is keeping me up at night, and I'm waking up at 4 am in the morning and thinking 'Yes! That is what should happen in this moment!' Then that is when I can write with happiness! So, right now it feels like homework ... it really does. And when things feel like homework they go very, very slowly for me."

The Queen of the Twinkle Vamps is tired of them... Good.

Bill Condon's Open Letter to Twilight Fans

Dreamgirls' Guru, Bill Condon is the director of the Twilight's next movie, Breaking Dawn. And he is making sure fans will get to know him and trust him with their prized possession.

He just wrote a letter to them via Facebook:

Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland,

I just want to say hello to all of you and let you know that I'm stoked to be getting underway on the adventure of making BREAKING DAWN. As you've probably heard, I've been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit - who are super-focused, as you know, on getting these movies right.

I'm pretty busy bringing myself up to speed on what you already know by heart: I've read BREAKING DAWN twice, rewatched Catherine's and Chris's movies 2-3 times each, have all four CDs playing in my car, and have Catherine's notebook, Mark Cotta Vaz's companion books, and even Volume 1 of the graphic novel here on my desk - a corner of my office is starting to look like Hot Topic. I realize that this barely qualifies me for "newborn" status in the universe you've been living inside for a few years now, but a guy's gotta start somewhere.

Like many of you, I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series DARK SHADOWS, which I followed avidly as a kid. But that alone hadn't been enough to get me interested in making a vampire movie, even though my early screenwriting and directing efforts grew out of a great love for horror movies and thrillers. Since making GODS AND MONSTERS thirteen years ago, however, I've been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones.

The wonderful world that Stephenie has created has obviously struck a chord with you, and I don't think it's difficult to see why. For me, her characters are simultaneously timeless, yet very modern. Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy - and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN. This is a final chapter in the best sense; not just wide in scope and scale, but emotionally charged and intense throughout.

I'm a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?

Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below, and I'll do my best to answer them. I hope that this will be the first of many occasions I'll get to check in with you as we set to work bringing BREAKING DAWN to the screen. I am excited and grateful to have all of you alongside me for my TWILIGHT journey.

All best, Bill Condon

P.S. Answer #1: No, there won't be any musical numbers

Aww, "We Are a Family" would have been a great number for the Cullens.

New Trailer pt 2: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE

From Dreamgirls to Twilight... Bill Condon may direct the last of faux Vampire series

Merciful Minerva!

Bill Condon is very close to direct the last of the faux Vampire series, Twilight.

Bill Condon has emerged as the number one choice to direct the final two installments of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, I’m told.

Summit Entertainment hasn’t signed him, but I’m told that after several strong meetings, they are negotiating. Condon was among a list of A-list directors approved by Summit and Twilight author Stephenie Meyer.

Oh, well... Perhaps he can make it good? Maybe?
I hope he can do something to make it bearable. Bill did a great job with Dreamgirls, so it's possible.
