Thanks to the many comments today about the cast and the films, I have decided to pose a question here on CBA. As we all unfortunately know, the films will be over soon. We still have Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2, but the filming has already wrapped and I am sure the majority of the cast is thinking about what to do after the buzz calms down. I have two questions for you: Which of the big three (Rob, Kristen, and Taylor) do you think will be most successful after the films are over? Which castmate that was part of the original cast (Kellan, Nikki, Ashley, Jackson, Peter, and Elizabeth) do you think will surprise people with how well they have done? When I mean the cast, I am talking about the main cast and here are some quick bios below.

Robert Pattinson aka RPattz

Films: 1o films not including the Twilight films.

Some Notable Films outside of Twilight: Harry Potter, Remember Me, and Water for Elephants

Future projects: Bel Ami, Cosmopolis, rumored for Unbound Captives

Kristen Stewart aka KStew

Films: 23 films not including the Twilight films

Some Notable Films outside of Twilight: Panic Room, Adventureland, The Runaways

Future Films: Snow White and the Huntsman

Taylor Lautner aka Tay Tay or TL

Films: 4 outside of the Twilight Films

Some Notable Films outside of Twilight: Valentines Day, Cheaper By the Dozen, and Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Future Films: Abduction coming out in September

As for the rest of the cast, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, and Peter Facinelli, be sure to let us know your thoughts on them as well. You can click on their names for quick bios and a filmography. Who do you think will do the most after the films are over? Remember that does not just have to mean acting. It can mean directing, performing, producing, etc…..it is the fair thing to do to include Jackson as a musician, Nikki as a writer/director, and others who might branch out. Let us know in the comment section! Sound off!

Indie rock band 100 Monkeys have been doubling-over fans the past few years with their unique funky sensibility and incessant comic creativity — the band writes and performs a new song on the spot at every show based on an audience member’s idea. They’re versatile and talented musicians with a common quick-witted sense of humor, and they’re clearly in a world of their own. Next week, the band will release a new album, Liquid Zoo. As they gear up for release festivities, members Jerad Anderson (J-Rad), Jackson Rathbone (J-Action), Ben Graupner (Ben G), Ben Johnson (Ben J), and M. Lawrence Abrams (Uncle Larry) were kind enough to answer a few questions for us:

How does Liquid Zoo differ from your previous albums?
J-Rad: There is a tad of extra special sauce—awesome sauce if you will—sprinkled into the music.
J-Action: It’s rebellious, new, exciting, and the best thing about us. It’s going to outlive us, and we’re extremely proud to introduce it to the world.
Ben J: We consider Liquid Zoo to be a leap forward for us as a band. We tracked the rhythm parts live as a band. Instead of spending time on overdubs, we were able to focus on getting the vocals we wanted and putting finishing touches on every track.

Comedy is an important part of your music — who are some of your favorite comedians?
Uncle Larry: Groucho Marx.
J-Rad: The old stuff; Richard Pryor.
J-Action: My dad is an extremely witty guy who can keep a room alive. He’s a big influence, as well as all the comedians my dad doesn’t like because of their use of profanity — George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, etc.
Ben J: I guess when I was growing up in the ’90s — Bill Murray always got me good. These days I love watching Will Ferrell.
Ben G: I guess Henry Fonda would be the fondest.

I’ve heard that acting and improv are a big part of your personal lives as well as your live show. Besides Twilight, what are you currently involved in on the side?
J-Action: Beer, BBQ, cheap whiskey, a new record label, good whiskey, new singles and old b-sides, expensive whiskey that other people pay for…and an upcoming world tour.
J-Rad: We are starting a record label, we produce our own movies, and we continually write new music.

What’s one of your favorite recent musical-improv moments?
Ben G: Playing the “Cocaine Blues” in an upscale hotel lobby with the Kissing Club. That put a grin on my face.
J-Rad: I liked when an idea was written on a pillow that literally hit me in the face on stage. It was called “Pillow Talk.”
Uncle Larry: Our recent improv song called “Jello.”
J-Action: “No Bueno” was the improv song in Mission, Texas at Smokin’ Aces, and that was a recent favorite because it stretched my improv lyrical ability to sing in both English and my limited Spanish… plus the groove felt good!

Best air guitar song of all time?
J-Rad: “Eruption” (Van Halen)
Uncle Larry: “Iron Man” (Black Sabbath)
Ben G: Jumpin’ Jack Flash (The Rolling Stones)
Ben J: “More Than A Feeling” (Boston)
J-Action: “Layla” (Eric Clapton)

Say you’re given the power to remove one album from the world’s collective memory…
J-Rad: Barney’s Favorites, Vol. 2 Featuring Songs from Imagination Island (purple dinosaur Barney).
J-Action: It’s a tie between Yoko Ono‘s Yes, I’m a Witch and Paul McCartney & Wings‘ Red Rose Speedway. Two things collectively broke up The Beatles: John and Paul’s ego. Should we just blame ego or was it Yoko? Either way, Wings sucked just as much as Yoko.
Ben G: My mom’s photo album of embarrassing childhood photographs. Seriously though, we should get rid of generic Christmas music. Shopping centers are tough enough as it is.
Ben J: Cher‘s Believe. It was the beginning of Auto-Tuned vocals, something I’ve never been able to get down with.
Uncle Larry: Any album that advocates hate.

What’s next for 100 Monkeys?
J-Rad: Mayhem.
Uncle Larry: Revealing new music to the new world…
J-Action: Another interview about what’s next for 100 Monkeys. Don’t worry though, you can find out on 100monkeysmusic.com. Plugged the website! Does that mean I get a bonus? Or is it spelled “bonas” like the Jonas Brothers?
Ben J: Liquid Zoo is coming! Look out for new tour dates on our site.

100 Monkeys are escaping from the Zoo…the Liquid Zoo on June 28th.

Coinciding with the “Liquid Zoo” album release, 100 Monkeys kicks off a 40+ city US tour in conjunction with House of Blues Entertainment. The tour opens in in Cincinnati on June 28 and will also include dates in Dallas, Anaheim, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco and other major cities. The band which has also been selected as one of LG’s “One’s to watch” this summer are more than excited about the upcoming tour and album. They promise the biggest and best tour yet and of course the usual surprises along the way that only 100 Monkeys can deliver. The band logged a quick eight day tour over the winter holiday playing to sold out venues in several cities across the southern U.S. and they are more than eager to get back to what they love…playing for their fans.

We finally have another Cullen Boy doll on the market! Now all we need is two more to make it a complete CBA set! For all those wondering the doll was modeled after the handsome Jackson.

The “Jasper” figure (see left) from Twilight perfectly captures Jackson Rathbone’s elfen cheekbones

So that made me giggle just a wee bit but they speak the truth. Here is a on-site photo of the dolls:
