Breaking Dawn Premiere

Breaking Dawn After Party

They had the place set up to look like the wedding reception and Isle Esme. It was gorgeous!

Yes, Kellan Lutz had a line of women waiting to take their photos with him, such a sweetheart!

Today’s topic?
What’s up with the whole “The Hunger Games is better than Twilight” comparison? And the whole “Josh Hutcherson is the next Robert Pattinson”?

The New York times reports the following:

“The Hunger Games” hit the box-office bull’s-eye over the weekend, taking in a record $155 million in North America and setting up what promises to be one of the biggest film franchises of this decade.

Yes, it surpassed opening weekend for Eclipse which was $148 million. That’s awesome, but hey, that’s what we hope for, right? For the movie industry to get better and better and actually produce things that are worth your time and $20 ticket at the theater?

But, can we keep things in perspective? Lets be real. A lot of Twilight fans are also fans of The Hunger Games. There is nothing that says you can’t like both. Just like a lot of Harry Potter fans are Twilight fans. It’s called having broad literary tastes.

Keeping this in mind, many of the people that went to see The Hunger Games this weekend are also Twilight fans and …c’mon, you know a lot of Twilight fans went just to catch a glimpse of the Breaking Dawn Part 2 teaser trailer (good job Summit using once franchise to help the other…unlike that awful tease to see New Moon trailer before that forgettable Vanessa Hudgens film…).

So yes, many Twilight fans bought tickets to see the teaser below.. in the big screen.. hello vampire Bella! Whether they stayed to watch THG is a different story but that doesn’t matter, the ticket was purchased, cha-ching to the box-office.

In comparison, the “Twilight” movies have been mostly a female phenomenon; the audience for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part I” was only 20 percent male, for instance.

People interested in going to the movies over the weekend would have had a hard time escaping “The Hunger Games,” which played in 4,137 locations, including 268 Imax theaters.

So, it was shown at thousands of theaters AND the demographics were broader. We know there are some Twilight fans that are male but the fandom is based mostly on females. In comparison, The Hunger Games fans have a bigger audience based of men AND women. Yeah, the boys are not embarrassed to say they are going to watch a movie about teens trying to survive while admitting to watching a love film between a human and a vampire…not so manly.

To quote one of my friends “let’s compare a film about a post apocalyptic world to a film about a vampire that sparkles and the human girl he loves…” yeah, because they are the same thing.

And, I’m sorry but comparing Josh to Robert is like comparing apples to oranges. Why compare a teenager to an adult? Robert was 21 when the first Twilight film was released, a grown man. Josh is barely 19! The only similarities between the films and the cast is that there is a trio. Two boys, one girl. Similarities stop there.

Why does the media pit one versus the other? We as fans can like them both, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s like saying you can’t like Muse and Arctic Monkey at the same time.

To quote Mary J..”no, more drama in our lives!”

We’d love to hear your thoughts so leave a comment below!!

Just wanted to let you know thanks for your nominations at the Celebrity Site of the Day we’re featured today! Yay!

This is our award from CSOTD:

Scans and Translation by LetMeSign

HOW WAS WORKING WITH BILL CONDON, THE DIRECTOR?

He is a director who enjoys being involved, and is a great writer also, so he can change things anytime. Something great is that with the other movies everything was so serious, like ‘this is the way it is in the book, and this way has to be on the movie’, but sometimes the things on the book don’t look very well on the big screen, and Bill was so daring to try new things.

WHAT WAS YOUR CHALLENGE IN THIS MOVIE?

I think the most interesting thing in this movie is that my character is very different. From all the Twilight Saga books, this is the most weird of all, because Edward is more impulsive and makes a lot of mistakes, while in the other movies he always was planning and controlling everything.
When i read the book i was thinking ‘Edward, what the hell are you doing?!’ and i didn’t like what he was he doing, and for some reason it’s more funny to play him this way. Here he is very neglected, selfish and doesn’t know what to do, and he has turned into pieces, including his relationship with Bella. I really enjoyed to play him now.

OK, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THIS MOVIE: THE SEX SCENE. HOW WAS IT FOR YOU?

Well, the sex scene never was described in the book, so i think every single person who read it had an idea how it was already. But while we were filming we had to think, how to do the sex scene to look incredible for everyone!?, how to fill all their expectations!?. But you’re worried about how you look, i never worried about a scene like this, but after seeing all what Taylor had to work out for the movies, i was thinking ‘oh, god! everyone’s gonna judge me!’(laughs). I was always thinking about positions where i can look better and make my abs look flat. Ok, i think i just gave you the worst and most pretentious answer ever!

SO, YOU WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT TAKING OFF YOUR SHIRT?

Well yeah! Mostly because in this movie the body of some characters it’s a very important thing (meaning Taylor and the Wolfpack) so, for this movie i said, ‘well, its the last one, I’ll try to get a six pack!’, and i tried, but it’s so hard, i worked out for like 6 weeks, just before the sex scene, and once it was done i said… let’s eat!

WELL, WHEN YOU WERE FILMING THIS SCENE, WHAT HAPPENED?

The Director helped us a lot. He knew this was a important scene, and terrifying for Kristen and me, so he gave us a lot of ideas, because like i said, in the book just says ‘the house falls’ and that’s all, so, we had to do it like they do in ‘True Blood’, right?, but i think it is a good scene, with a lot of scenes and cuts very well edited.

YOU TALK ABOUT ‘TRUE BLOOD’, WERE YOU WORRIED ABOUT MAKING IT LOOKS LIKE THE TV SHOW?

Well yeah, i don’t watch that TV show a lot, but people say ‘Twilight’ is about abstinence, vampires don’t kill humans, and ‘True Blood’ it’s like a blood bath, is more passionate and in this movie, ‘Breaking Dawn’, the lead characters yield to the temptation and passion and blah, blah, blah… Like everyone wonders, how the hell do vampires have sex? and it’s very hard to do a transcendental sex scene, i think that could be weird to watch in the twilight saga, without being something… you know, dirty, does what i just said make any sense? Hey though, i didn’t answer your question, i was only talking about sex!

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WEDDING, KRISTEN’S DRESS AND ALL THE PREPARATIONS.

Oh, well, all the weddings are about the bride, right? I was just there standing, waiting, hahaha. Kristen was going crazy with all the dress things and stuff, and i was like ‘and i have to wear a stupid tuxedo!’

HOW HAS KRISTEN GROWN AS AN ACTRESS ALL THESE PAST YEARS? HOW HAS SHE EVOLVED?

Well she just got older. When we made the first movie she was 17, and now she is 21, she has changed a lot on her personality, but as an actress, since i know her, she has been a very self confident actress, that’s why i laugh when people says she is very shy, and that’s not true!

THIS YEAR WAS THE END OF THE HARRY POTTER SAGA, AND THE PREMIERE WAS VERY EMOTIVE. WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TWILIGHT SAGA FINALLY ENDS NEXT YEAR?

Harry Potter thing is very different, because they were very young when it all started. I can’t even remember what i was doing 8 years ago! When we ended the shooting between every movie, we worked on other movies, it’s very different.

THEN, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR CAREER, A CHAPTER CLOSES AND STARTS SOMETHING NEW?

I’m a very paranoid person, and i always think if i don’t keep making movies, everything will end, and i will have a nervous breakdown. So i only think to keep working, till literally, nobody wants to employ me! hahaha

SERIOUSLY, YOU THINK THAT: THIS IS MY LAST JOB?

Totally. I always think the same. When i sign on for a movie, i start thinking, ‘oh no, people are gonna think this about me…’ and at the end i got to the set and i have an amazing time!

This will affect us ALL. Yes, it is an american Law but it will reach worldwide repercusions.

Sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipediaand many more are taking their sites down during this day as a protest against this law.

We might be affected as well, since we will not be able to upload/post pictures, caps, videos, music or any media here, even if our purpose is only to inform you, so, fansites will not exist anymore! Could you picture a world without sharing information, videos, photos on facebook or twitter?

We had the intention to support the blackout this day, but since we’re very busy working on the site, we’re still trying to have our full gallery back again, and adding some other stuff, so we’ll only put this post as sticky so all our visitors can see it and get informed about this law.

With some information from TwilightMOMS.com

We’re back and running again! We’re back to work!
I’m Karina and speaking for my co-owners Karen and Angie, and our lovely staff: Tania, Ashlee, Chelsea and Steph, i’m GLAD to say we’re so happy to be back!

As some of you may know, we had some big issues with our last web hosting service, we finally could recover a LOT of our content and save it, to move manually here in our new host service: Flaunt Network, i want to thank them, they were such a good support for us when we felt everything was lost and we couldn’t make it without them, and without all of you, our lovely and loyal readers!

Thank you so much for being so supportive and patient!

As you can see, we have all brand new layouts, over here, over the gallery and over the Respect Me Campaign site, all made by such nice girl: Anna Karolina at Lunazul Graphics, we loved it, hope you love it too! We’re not done with gallery, we had over 37,000 images at the other host, now we have so far only 9,000, but we will keep uploading all of them, we lost all our blog posts so, this is the first post and we will keep posting as from now, there are some pages “under construction” we’re working on all of them, but site is almost complete for you to navigate and enjoy! Now we moved i had the chance to check out the links we had as affiliates, i was kind of shocked how much sites are not working anymore, like vanished! So i kept the ones working, and the ones who emailed me as i requested, and now im requesting you again, check please our affiliate page, find your link and if your link is not there and you have linked us back PLEASE email me at karina@letmesign.com and i’ll add you asap! Also, as you can see, we’re looking for new affiliates, specially co-stars and Robert related sites, so if you have a cool website and wanna be part of our affiliates please email me!

That’s all about the “news” and site stuff.

Now, hope all of you had wonderful holidays! This year will be our 3rd birthday, so happy!

And, well, hope you like and enjoy the “new” site and keep comming to read the latest news about our guy Robert!

Thanks again!
