Our prediction: It will beat the odds and outsell the original at the box office. Sequels almost never sell more than the originals. This one is going to do it.

Video Reactions: Trailer across the generations
May 31, 2009 By 55 Comments
OK, we know this is really late notice, but sometimes ideas don’t happen on time tables.
We’ve been noticing in our comments lots of things that say “I haven’t watched the MTV Movie Awards in years”. Now we could be wrong, but it would seem to us that that means the teens of the 1990′s 1980′s and maybe even the 1970′s and 1960′s are going to be tuning into MTV tonight (or the Internet shortly thereafter).
So here’s the deal, tape your reaction to the trailer, upload it to YouTube, send us the link, and we will cover the best reactions from people who were teens in the 2000′s, 1990′s, 1980′s, 1970′s…heck if we get reactions from what has been called “the Greatest Generation”,which we think would put people in their teens in the 1930′s, we’ll run that. You have until midnight (eastern Tuesday) to get us your clip, you have enough time to upload and edit. We’ll run it on Tuesday mid morning.
Just a reminder that the trailer will be online in the usual places right after MTV debuts it. So you won’t have to wait too long to see it.

New Moon Trailer: An Analysis of the Analysis
May 31, 2009 By 5 Comments
Deadbolt has done it again and come up with a great feature that explores the media hype that surrounds the Twilight franchise. This time they’re talking about how the Internet is going to explode tonight with people analyzing and reanalyzing the trailer. No doubt there will be screen caps of second by second footage, blow ups of frames, and endless commentary ranging from OME! Can’t wait till Nov. to Chris Weitz ruined it!
According to Deadbolt:
“…the New Moon trailer will serve a dual purpose:
1. It will satisfy the near fever pitch Twilight anticipation.
2. Build fresh New Moon momentum from a brand new starting point.
Hey, we’re just as excited to see the New Moon trailer as you are, but it’s been awkwardly entertaining to see so much hype around … well … a trailer.”
Check out their full trailer story.
Behind the Scenes at MTV
May 31, 2009 By 13 Comments
Mark Burnett, who grew up in London’s East End, is the media genius behind Survivor and other reality TV, is at mission control when it comes to the MTV Movie Awards. There’s another notable, but lesser known, East Sider along with him at the helm. Only, it’s East Side New Yorker Lee Rolontz.
Like Mark, Lee’s urban bringing helps to bring the show the edge that it’s known for. They have both been at this for years, but have the souls of 20-year-olds. Lee experienced Studio 54 in it’s heyday, and followed Wham (back in the day) to do a rockmentary in Japan.
“It’s the ‘Twilight’-'Slumdog’ slug-it-out year…It’s courageous of MTV. ‘Twilight’ is not an Oscar movie. It’s a movie that audiences can rally around that hasn’t been anywhere else.”
Check out the feature in the New York City’s Daily News.
