A Twilight Saga Fansite
We love the guys over at Stick Man Theater. They do these hilarious, short versions of the Twilight movies and novels using stick figures. Their stuff is simple, but has just the right amount of good-natured snark and humor. They’ve also recently branched out into Harry Potter and True Blood.
Well in honor of our birthday, they did a 12 cell condensed version of the Twilight Saga.
Check out all the cells and the rest of their work over on their site!
The folks over at Edward’s Meadow, the site that hosts the annual Twilight Battle of the Bands, has spearheaded a campaign to raise money for Japanese disaster victims. Here’s what they wrote in to tell us:
Just wanted to let you know that we at Edward’s Meadow of have teamed up with Sstaria (our 2nd place winners from the Battle of the Twilight Bands III) and www.blingandbaubles.com to start a new contest, the Twihards 4 Japan giveaway! We have tons of cool prizes that we’ll be giving away over the next six weeks! To enter, you need to donate at least $1 to our Twihards 4 Japan fund on PayPal, which will later be sent to the American Red Cross to help the earthquake/tsunami victims in Japan. Here is the link to the contest: http://www.edwardsmeadow.com/twihardsforjapan.html
Fans from all over the world flocked to the theatre in Vancouver the other day when Breaking Dawn was shooting there including a guy who gets mistaken for Robert Pattinson.
According to Mother Nature Network:
“Nikki Reed is on a one-woman recycling mission. “It’s very upsetting to me but apparently my building does not have recycling. They say that the city separates it but I don’t believe it and I don’t feel good about mixing all my trash. So I do it on my own. There’s a man who comes to my alley and collects cans and stuff so I give it to him,” she told us at the launch party for the fashion collection UK Style by French Connection. Reed was on a break from back-to-back shooting on the two “Breaking Dawn” movies that will close the “Twilight” saga. “We’re almost done, like four more weeks,” she said, not quite sure how she’ll react when it’s over, since in the past there was always another installment to look forward to.”

USA Today covers a variety of reasons why actors who have been around and were not really well known, to total newcomers are going to be making a splash this year as the latest predicted Hollywood heartthrobs. These types are coming in two categories and Twilight, they claim, is part of the reason:
“The ‘Twilight’ factor
The reason for the double standard?
“It’s the two archetypes you see in Twilight,” Dergarabedian suggests. In one corner is brooding vampire Edward and, in the other, burly werewolf Jacob. “It’s probably an attempt to make sure women see these films.”
Not a bad guess. Yes, the target audience of such geek-squad fare remains men 18 to 25, who can almost always be counted on to show up for at least the opening weekend of a comic-book adventure. But as the cost for special-effects and possible 3-D treatment escalates, it isn’t a bad idea to reach beyond the core crowd and add some eye candy for the ladies as well.
Consider that the first three romantic Gothic thrillers based on the hugely popular book series have collected nearly $1.8 billion total in worldwide ticket sales by targeting female ticket buyers.
Meanwhile, barely known actors Robert Pattinson, 24, and Taylor Lautner, 19, turned into overnight sensations. Besides, it is normal for the definition of a movie hunk to go in cycles, says Jeanine Basinger, head of film studies at Wesleyan University.”

Look for Gil at roughly the 5:00 mark
This was Jackson Rathbone’s first time meeting co-star Evan on the set of Girlfriend. they are still actively raising money to get the film into distribution over at Indiegogo. Jackson jockeyed shooting Girlfriend, Eclipse, and the Last Airbender at roughly the same time.
The Breaking Dawn cast and crew were at an historic theater in Vancouver to shoot a scene. Rumor has it that it is some type of flashback.

This probably sounds like a really weird blog entry title, but we’ve been getting a bunch of unsolicited material and we don’t want people to waste their hard earned money doing something that won’t help them. We know a lot of sites are branching out into other YA titles. Kudos to those sites! We love to read. However, book blogging on other books not something that we are going to be doing here.
We are a Stephenie Meyer and Twilight fan site. That’s always been our primary focus. Sometimes we have diverged,but there has always been a Twilight book or movie or Lexicon staffer connection. In our five years, we’ve only ever written a blog story about four authors other than Stephenie Meyer. Each of those authors had a very strong personal connection to Stephenie Meyer and/or and done some great service for the fans/Lexicon. It’s not that we don’t like other authors, far from it! Just to name drop some current favorites: Deanna Raybourn, Stephanie Perkins, Myra McEntire, Jon Lewis, J.R. Ward, Elizabeth Eulberg. It’s that we just don’t have time to do justice to anything else and well…we are what we are: a Twilight and Stephenie Meyer site.
So please! Don’t spend your hard earned money on sending us your books, movies, CD’s. Spend it where it will matter! Check out book blogging sites that will fit your genre. Just to name a few:
