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!

Here are more of the pictures that will be included in the fall issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Please go to the SOURCE to see them bigger and to read the entire transcript of the interview. I’ll post some quotes, but it’s worth reading the entire thing, I know it’ll start a discussion. Plus, you’ll see the pictures bigger and better.

There are MORE pictures in a separate article HERE!!!

Bella Chooses Life
Edward had just called my little nudger a thing. He said Carlisle would get it out. “No,” I whispered. I’d gotten it wrong before. He didn’t care about the baby at all. He wanted to hurt him.
Pattinson: It shows a little negative part of Edward’s character. He deals with it in such a thoughtless way, and he lets his fear turn into anger. It was quite nice to play.
Condon: And one of your strongest moments in the movie, too.
Both characters suddenly act differently than they ever have before.
Pattinson: They shock each other. For a saga which is about eternal, undying love that nothing can touch, suddenly –
Stewart: There’s one thing that can. That was fun to play. Bella’s always liked him and liked everything he said and thought everything he did was right. This is something that she clearly disagrees with. She doesn’t mindlessly and blindly follow him. She was always kind of defiant. I like that.
Here is where the movie takes a darker turn, right?
Condon: Absolutely. You’re sort of desperate for it. Because you’ve got the wedding and the honeymoon, but there’s no conflict. Suddenly this happens, and Rob says, “Get that thing out of you.” All you have is one line, and that’s the rest of the movie. It’s right in that moment.

Jacob Watches Bella Drink
Bella shoved the straw between her lips, squeezed her eyes shut, and wrinkled her nose. I could hear the blood slopping around in the cup again as her hand shook. She sipped at it for a second, and then moaned quietly with her eyes still closed.
This is where Bella only wants to spend time with Jacob — because, as we later learn, her baby is already drawn to him.
Condon: It’s like watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and the snakes are coming and there’s no way to get out. How is she going to get out of this (love) triangle? It seemed impossible to figure out any way in which Jacob wouldn’t be the loser. And then this other idea comes in. It’s definitely weird, but it’s clever. He always loved that baby and the baby always loved him.
Stewart: I just get goose bumps!
Pattinson: I have to say, it is pretty creepy. (Laughs)Stewart: But that’s why I loved playing up those moments. I savor all those creepy bits. Like when Jacob sits down on the couch and is like, “Don’t look at me like that.” She can’t help it.
Pattinson: Oh! I didn’t even think about it the other way around as well (that the unborn baby is causing Bella to want to spend time with Jacob). Because I was like, What the fuck is this scene? This is insane. I would have broken up with you ages ago.
Stewart: Dude, don’t you remember you’re listening to us yell at each other (later)? Jacob says, “Didn’t you want me around all the time?” And I’m like, “Yeah,” and he says, “Aren’t those feelings gone now?” And I’m like, “Long gone.”
Pattinson: Ohhhhh, yeah.
Stewart: (Gesturing to Pattinson) He’s lying. He knows all of this, he’s forgotten it!
Pattinson: Oh, shush. (Laughs) Look, there are a lot of moments when Edward sort of acts like a pussy. I mean, throughout the whole series.
Stewart: (Laughs) You can quote him on that.
Pattinson: I’m sitting next to you and I’m like, “My wife is dying. I have completely fucked my life up and hers,” and JAcob’s like (to Bella), “Hey, baby, you don’t look too bad to me.” And I’m just sitting there, like, with a bucket collecting (Bella’s) vomit.
Stewart: (Laughs) That’s literally what he’s doing.
Pattinson: That really wouldn’t happen. I should have thrown the vomit at him.
Stewart: Now that I’ve seen parts of it, Jacob and Bella’s chemistry in this movie is better than it’s ever been.
Pattinson: (Faux-glares at Stewart) So uncool.
Condon: The last scene we filmed was the dance scene between JAcob and Bella at the wedding. The last shot is Jacob leaving. I called “Cut!” and then Kristen yelled, “Jacob!” and hiked up her dress and started running after him into the woods, saying, “Come back! Don’t leave me!”
Pattinson: That was one of the funniest things as well, leading Bella (out to dance with Jacob). Edward is an incredibly strange character, the more I think about it. That was one of those things that I had absolutely no idea how to play.
Condon: But you played it great!
Stewart: (to Pattinson) You had all these stimulations! You were like, “I need to play it liked this and this and that’s it.”
You were looking out for Edward.
Pattinson: Yeah, ’cause I don’t want him to look like an idiot. There’s certain things…like when Jacob grabs her arms and won’t let go. And that’s at our wedding, before I’ve even danced with her! If that was reality, being a good man at that moment is going up and kicking the guy’s ass so hard that he won’t come back.
Stewart: If that had happened in this story it would feel so wrong.
Pattinson: Edward has a lot more foresight than the average person, which is one of the most heroic things about him. He also knows he’s going to turn her into a vampire, so it’s like, “You’re going to be screwed in a couple of weeks, buddy! Try and hit on her all you want!”

Woohoo! I will admit that I am so Team Edward that I am smug we finally get a cover without Taycob! What do you think of the cover? Does it make you excited about November?

I HAVE NO WORDS…. *screams*

“The Miracle of Life,” that now-retro video show to confused and sometimes shocked middle school students in sex ed classes across the country, has largely been the only reference point for the machinations child birth for tween audiences, montages on MTV’s “Teen Mom” not withstanding.

That’s about to change — and if they thought their 80s-made educational film was unsettling, tweens better brace themselves for some vampire birth.

The birthing scene in “Breaking Dawn,” the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight Saga,” features Bella finally producing her Edward Cullen-fathered vampire baby, Renesmee. It’s a graphic scene in the book, but words and images are far different beasts, which makes one wonder just how faithful the Bill Condon-directed film will be to the book in that regard.

According to Robert Pattinson, it’ll be just as potent.

“The birth scene is so different from everything else in the movie. For a fantasy series it goes quite far. It’s hardcore, it’s graphic. There’s no other way to do it. It was fun,” he told the audience at Comic Con on Thursday (via HitFix.com).

“You never really get to play Edward in a way that he’s literally so aware of his own helplessness,” he added (via Moviefone). “Either he’s completely in control or pretends he is, but here there’s no on else around, and there’s nothing he can do and he’s just desperate. Normally when that happens, Bella comes in and saves the day. But Bella isn’t there … he’s totally annihilated by the situation”

Kirsten Stewart, the laboring mother-to-be in question, went into more detail.

“She’s literally choking on blood she’s been drinking, literally out of her mind. It was always in my head that she’s been able to fight harder than anyone because of that little bit in her, literally,” she laughed (via Movieline). “And at that part I got to play with having venom run through your veins and start to feel the hell that that is, and that’s after a moment of sheer exuberance of looking at your baby for the first time.”

That should please Meyer, who repeatedly emphasized her desire for the movie to match the book’s intensity.

“I’d love to have the birth scene be every bit as awful — I know it freaked people out, but for those of us who have been through childbirth a couple times, it is a scary, terrifying experience,” she told MTV News last year. “This is just taking that to an exponential power, and I love going there.”

Stewart said that she had a hard time with the actual child, once it was in the flesh and walking.

“I couldn’t pick up the kid sometimes. We had Mackenzie Foy, who is an amazing little kid. Like the coolest kid ever,” she said (via PopSugar). “Smarter than me in a lot of ways. Then we had these other girls to play the younger version of Mackenzie. They’re all great, awesome kids, but I’m awkward, I can’t handle that. I look ridiculous picking them up, they were bigger than me in some cases!”

Is it just me or does Rob aka Edward look fake like a doll? Hmmm still sexy!

Well ladies and gents, tonight was the night that so many of us had been waiting for. It was the annual MTV Movie Awards, which in the past years has become a way for Twihards to get a peek at exclusive clips, the cast, and watch as our faves take home tons of awards each year. This year was no different, except for there were plenty of hilarious moments that created hysteria just like the show is known to do. Out of Rob, Kristen, and Taylor, the main focus of tonight’s show was definitely Robert Pattinson because he not only took home awards, but presented one to Reese Witherspoon. His ad lib speech had tons of people laughing, but also some up in arms about his use of the f-bomb during the speech. Now I am not a huge fan of the word, but I was taken back more by the reaction it got from some of the fandom. Apparently, it was a love or hate situation, which is usually the case when it comes to humor. I found Rob’s speech pretty funny with just a touch of awkwardness. In other words, I thought it was a Rob type of speech. However, some seem to find the words offensive or inappropriate, which baffles me and I will explain why.

First of all, this is the MTV Movie Awards, not the Academy Awards or a prestigious event of that nature. Presenters and hosts curse on a regular basis, they roast celebs, show over the top footage, and pull all types of antics…..this is the show where Eminem got a butt shoved in his face and Sandra Bullock made out with ScarJo during her acceptance speech. Maybe that is why I am confused by the gasping over Rob using a word that was used throughout the night and one that Peter Facinelli said constantly a few years back during the Best Movie acceptance speech. Another reason I did not find it inappropriate was because he was teasing Reese and she teased him right back. Ever since they started promoting Water for Elephants, the costars have been going back and forth about their awkward Vanity Fair days and even been asked by reporters what it was like to go from being mother and son to lovers. Reese even got onstage and told a joke to Rob by dropping some profanity of her own, which for me made it even funnier. The two of them have such a witty banter in interviews and she teases him just as much so I thought it was fitting that he roasted her. I know some people have this image of Rob in their mind and I suppose it ruined their fantasy by him actually playing along with the outrageous theme of the show, but it just made me love him even more. He told some jokes, he was awkward, he got some laughs, laughed at himself, and managed to do it all with a smile. He even brought Taylor into the mix by kissing him instead of Kristen! If anything, it made me think that Rob was actually having fun and rolling with the punches on a show that is full of them. I thought it was a great indicator of his sense of humor and it really made me wish he would do SNL even more now. Maybe I am alone in my view, but I actually thought Rob stole the show. It was the MTV Movie Awards which is always full of cursing, over the top antics, same sex kisses, outrageous moments, and plenty of laughs. I knew exactly the type of award show it was even before I tuned in tonight and it always has been. I took it for the laid back environment that it was and it seemed like Rob did the same, so what do you ladies think? Were you offended by Rob’s speech? Did you think it was funny or were you indifferent about the whole thing? Let us know in the comment section! Also, what were your thoughts about the Breaking Dawn trailer and the show as a whole?
