TWILIGHT SAGA NEWS FOR DECEMBER 10TH

AN ENLIGHTENED MALE PERSPECTIVE ON BREAKING DAWN

www.ndsmcobserver.com: When it comes to movies concerning the topic of love, there were two traditional methods of dealing with it: romantic comedies and Disney movies, both riddled with their own particular evils on the matter. Romantic comedies follow cheesy, clichéd storylines and more often than not are connected to Cameron Diaz. With few exceptions, rom-coms send males into one of three states: sleep, rage or a sleepy rage.  Disney movies are actually identical with the exception of Cameron Diaz. Either way, unrealistic and boring depictions of relationships dominate popular cinema. 

 
“Twilight” broke new ground in its depictions of romantic relationships. Specifically, it added a sparkling vampire whose mysterious and cold persona can only be explained by his love for the female lead, Bella. Digging deeper into an already cavernous hole occupied by the notion of romantic love in popular culture, the ridiculous expectations and corny romance of “Twilight” will only leave a nation of young females over eager for “true” love and, at the end of the day, heartbroken, only comforted by sweatpants and ice cream.
 
In an event that will ultimately limit my future friendships in the frat sector, I blindly stumbled to the Wikipedia page for the fourth and final book of the “Twilight” epic, “Breaking Dawn.” This changed everything. No longer do I resent the existence of these cheesy, derivative and harmful books. Instead, I cannot wait for the final film to be birthed forth onto the collective consciousness of our madcap generation.  What happened? I read the plot summary.

YOU CAN SEE ECLIPSE AT IMAX

www.abcnews.go.com: Vampire romance “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” will open in Imax specialty venues at the same time as the Summit Entertainment threequel unspools in thousands of other theaters June 30.

A first sequel in the fanged franchise, “New Moon,” has rung up more than $256 million so far domestically since bowing November 20.

Imax Filmed Entertainment president Greg Foster said the specialty circuit is “poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing fan base devoted to this dynamic, cutting-edge series.”

LUTZ CREDITS PATTINSON & STEWART WITH NEW MOON’S SUCCESS

www.mtv.com: The rest of us, we could suck, probably,” Kellan told Zap2It.com. “It’s Rob and Kristen who have the amazing chemistry. Without those two keystones, ‘Twilight’ could have flopped. It really could have.”

No wonder then, that the fate of “Breaking Dawn,” the final installment in the vampire series — which could be split into two movies — rests on negotiations with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and that jacked-up werewolf dude, Taylor Lautner.

“They haven’t told the rest of us actors yet,” Lutz told the site. “I have read that they are talking to Rob, Taylor and Kristen to negotiate to make ‘Dawn’ into two movies. I’d love for it to be two films.”
