    I'm slightly pissed. Breaking Dawn has been the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I mean Picture it: Baby bursting out of the womb! Fountains of BLOOD! Crazy imprinting on a newborn! The sweet sounds of tween screams from the audience. And me, sitting there with a giant grin and popcorn.

    Technically wasn't there supposed to be a fifth book where Stephenie Meyer re-wrote Twilight from Edward Cullen's Point of View? Oh, right. Now I remember. The manuscript was leaked onto the net and Meyer had a temper tantrum and shelved it indefinitely. No wonder she's so popular with teenage girls, she's working on the same wavelength as them.

    I could definitely see it as two movies, since halfway through the book is when the weirdness gets out of control. Its a reasonably good splitting point.

    I admit, I liked the books. Not saying they were brilliant, but they entertained me somewhat.

    Can there really be as much content in Breaking Dawn as there is in HP & the Deathly Hallows? I'm pretty sure there isn't as much action, background info, or character development in any of the Twilight books as there is in Harry Potter.

    @#c17219029: There is no content. Zero content. I will go out on a limb and admit to being another person on this site who's read all the books (granted, I did it at Borders while leaning against the book dump, waiting for my husband to pick out a gardening book, so I'm not sure I would call it 'reading') and it's pretty safe to say that the 'plot points' discussed so awesomely in that Devil's Advocate blog post won't even make it into a movie that's got to put eleven year old butts in seats. IMHO the only reason that stuff made it into the book in the first place is that by then Meyer's agent and editor were just waving her manuscripts in the air without actually reading them.

    If I were in this crap and the studio came to me to renegotiate, I would open by demanding 70 bazillion dollars and 3 glow in the dark, flying monkeys. If the agents don't see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity, they should be pumping gas.

    Of course, if I were the studios, I would counter with $1.98 and a goldfish - you supply the bowl and water. The twihards wouldn't even notice if I replaced an actor or two, they just want to see the book on the screen.

    @EdificeComplex: With my 70 bazillion dollars, I will buy a beach house in malibu and acquire many friends who love me only for my money. We will party well into the wee hours and the monkeys will swoop around to entertain us which we will find to be really cool due to all the drugs we are taking. We will then climb into our f-22's and chase them around the sky. If the monkeys glow in the dark, we will be able to see them much better. Hopefully, they will be so bright as to leave trails behind them like mouse trails on a bad laptop screen.

    Why yes, I have given this entirely too much thought.

    Re: The Hobbit. That's all well and good but when are we going to learn who has been/is going to be cast as Bilbo? Wasn't there an announcement made in late summer or early autumn that they were going to finally let us know in a couple of weeks? It's been closer to a couple of months now and we still don't know. #shazam

    @FiorenzaDampt: I thought for certain that they were going to keep on Ian Holm, who portrayed him in the Trilogy. Yea, he's rather of an older type, but i'm sure hollywood has something up their sleeve to make him look like a young hobbit.

    @althestane001: "He's rather of a an older type"? Dude's just turned 78! Regardless of CGI and how spry Holm may be, I don't think he has the stamina to portray what will probably be a physically demanding role in not just one, but two films. We may not know who will play Bilbo yet, but I think we can safely say it won't be Ian Holm. #shazam

    @Belabras ate my dingo!: That wouldn't be just a quick cameo, but a serious part, and they're almost certainly going to be a mixture of animatronics and CGI, in any case. No, I think he'll be one of the goblins in the lair of the Great Goblin - perhaps the one who explains how they found the dwarves at their gate. #shazam
