Dear Warner Brothers:

If you believe that by postponing the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a good decision, I must contact you and let you know that you are wrong. I would like to know the REAL reason why such a huge franchise and long awaited movie is having a release date change only 3 months before the original release date of the movie. You state that you wish to have a bigger opening, writters strike, etc., but I believe none of this reasons. The movie has a bigger chance of making more at the box office on it's original release date and, as the strike has been over for a while now and filming is done, I don't see why the strike should affect a release date. I hope you realize that by doing this you are losing many loyal viewers and especially money instead of gaining these two aspects. This is not only about the money, we fans could care less about that. All we want to see is the story we love on the big screen.
I am completely dissapointed with the decisions the company has taken with the movie and I hope you will listen to all the fans pleas to return the film to it's original release date.

Sincerly,
Laura 

PS/ Screw you! XD

I can't believe this, but apparently the first seven chapter of Breaking Dawn have been posted. Shame on you Twilight fans, shame on you. I never thought it would go this far and i'm so dissapointed.

I for one will remain spoiler free, there's only hours left in my mind and I really don't want to be a spoiled wart that will not enjoy the book at all because other people can't resist the need to tempt people.

Feel free to express yourselves spoiler free people!

The Count says...







2 DAYS UNTIL BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O

Don't give in fellow Spoiler-Free friends!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT give in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so Spoilers for BD are leaking out and I'm doing my best to keep away. If you don't know what i'm talking about it's the ones posted at 

lion_lamb so i'm keeping away from those. I did read the first comment on the page though, where someone said that if that was the ending they hated it more that HPs ending. Now, that worries me. Though, I don't why because I didn't have problems with HP's ending. However, I think it's because there's only 4 days left and i'm starting to panic and well...yeah. I feel like i'm the only person in the Twilight community that's not reading spoilers, even though i'm probably not. And then they post them in a community i'm on constantly and I really want to read them, but I can't. Either way, it won't make sense until I read the whole book and they might not be true at all anyway.

So, anyone out there not being spoiled? Please join me!

 

So, a lot of people have been asking me about my thoughts on the super hyped Twilight movie. And I think to express that I first nee to express my feelings on big screen adaptations of books.

First off, I learned to treat movies differently from the books around eight years back, when the first Harry Potter film came out. Back then, I had read the first HP book, but only because it was a school assingment and when I finished it I wasn't very fond of it. It wasn't until trailers and tv spots from the movie started coming on that I said to myself: "Hmmm, this looks interesting.", and decided to give the book another try. From there on, the rest is history; and now, almost 10 years later, i'm still a HUGE fan and thankful that I got to read such amazing books that taught me the true meaning of reading. Without HP, I wouldn't be reading the Twilight series today.

So in great part, from the start, i've been very parcial and fond of film adaptations of books. Maybe that's why I can see them differently from everyone else and can actually enjoy them. Or maybe it's because I treat the movie differently from the book. That is the key to enjoying a book adaption; separating the genres. The book is the book, the movie is the movie. We can't expect them to be exactly the same; we can't have any expectations, period. The film adaption never tries to be the book, it only encompases it's essence on to the big screen. So when I see these movies I see only that, a film. Sure, it essencially has the same plot as the book, but they're never the same thing. I enjoy the book for reading, I enjoy the movie for watching.

Ok, so now that i've made my thoughts on book-to-film adaptations, I will now talk exclusively about Twilight. Many argue that the film has such a huge hype months away from it's release and without hardly any footage to judge on, leading to many being dissapointed with the final product. I agree, somewhat. I think a lot of fans have very high expectations for this movie, and I think that's the wrong attitude to have with any book-to-film adaptation. It's better to have no expectations and just enjoy the final product and then judge. Same goes for the movie 'haters'. There is nothing to judge until the actual movie is out. Do I think the hype will affect the film? No, quite the contrary. Many more people will want to know what this hype is all about and all fans, including the so called 'haters', will go see the movie. I'm not preocupied by the box office, it will do well, i'm preocupied about those with very high expectations.
My thoughts on the film? I think it looks relatively wonderful right now. I have seen no real deviations from the books essential plot and i'm glad that they are focusing mostly on Edward and Bella's relationship which is what Twilight is all about. I think Kristen and Robert are both wonderful actors and I think they will pull Bella and Edward off to perfection, they not only look the parts, they understand them. Though most of the cast are relatively unknows, I think they will do well, they won't be fantastic, but they don't really need to be. They will do just fine. Cam Gigandet, however, seems to be stealing the spotlight of the two protagonist. He plays such a great bad guy and his James seriously creeps me out, much much more than book James did. As far as the acting, i'm not worried. I'm really not worried about anything in the film but the special effects. Mainly, how to make Edward 'sparkle'. I just don't see how they can do that, but they can do anything these days so i'm sure they'll pull through. So yeah, I have no worries and i'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the movie...a lot... But I remain without expectations until it's out, then I will enjoy it and gush.

Oh, one more thing. A lot of people have been saying it looks more like a tv show than a movie...I seriously don't get that. How does it look different than any other film? Is it the new, strange camera angles? 'Cause I love those. I don't know, but it looks way better made than any tv show on tv these days.

That is all. Please comment. :)
