NextMovie is running a list of what they felt were the biggest movie related stories of 2011.   Bella and Edward’s wedding night antics makes their list coming in at number five.  Says NextMovie: All that pent up lust… is released in a violent explosion of passion that results in shredded pillows, a broken headboard and the conception of a mommy-eating monster vampire baby. All the debates over Team Edward vs. Team Jacob have been resolved, and by all accounts, the ultimate winners in the Bella sweepstakes are the fans themselves. It’s about time.

The Twilight Saga wasn’t the only fandom getting attention on their list.  The Hobbit is listed at number fifteen while Dark Night came in at number nine.  Number two went to the casting frenzy surrounding the Hunger Games and number one went to Harry Potter for reaching the end of their movie franchise.

Let us know in the comments if you think NextMovie got the list right or if you think Bella and Edward deserved an alternate spot on their list.

Hilarious 8 renditions over at Next Movie. Our favorite is below.

With the release of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” it’s safe to say that the “Twilight” movies are kind of popular. Or at least a gazillion fans seem to think so.

And they think Bella, Edward and Jacob are pretty swoon-worthy, too. In fact, why not just put these three love-torn characters in … every romantic movie ever made?

We enlisted our friend Old Red Jalopy to recast eight love stories with the characters from “Twilight.” Brace yourself, Twi-hards: These romantic movies just got romantic-er.

MTV’s Next Movie has a piece featuring people who auditioned for Twilight and didn’t get the part they auditioned for. Some of them are more urban legend and myth (like Vanessa Hudgens) than reality, but it’s a fun mix.

“The “What If” game is an entertaining way to burn a few hours. What if you went to Vassar instead of Arizona State University? What if you never went to happy hour that night? What if the Portland Trailblazers had drafted Michael Jordan?

Cinema is one of the best, and most maddening, places to play the “What If” game. Only a few truly great roles float around Hollywood each year. A-list actors jockey against one another for these parts, and the up-and-comers battle it out in auditions. What if Denzel Washington had accepted the lead role in “Ray”? What if Francis Ford Coppola had cast Frank Sinatra as Vito Corleone in “The Godfather”? What if Ashton Kutcher had played Bruce Wayne in “Batman Begins”? The questions go on and on.

Auditions for “The Twilight Saga” drew every young actor with a half-decent agent. For this reason, there are plenty of “What If” scenarios with actors who have made names for themselves in other projects.”

Shiloh Fernandez Auditioned for: Edward Cullen
Background: According to “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke, “I brought the four guys that I thought were the best and she [Kristen Stewart] had to make out with them or do four different scenes with them and at the end of those two days she said, ‘It’s gotta be Rob.’” Fernandez was one of those forgotten other three.
What If: Getting the role of Edward instead of Hardwicke’s consolation prize to him (Peter in “Red Riding Hood”) would have been astronomically better for Fernandez’s career. However, he doesn’t hold any grudges. When asked, “‘Twilight’ or “Harry Potter’”? He answered, “I have to support my director and say ‘Twilight.’” Although that was before he saw the box office of “Red Riding Hood.”

The Confessions of a Male Twi-Hard blog over at Next Movie has an idea that’s not all that crazy:

“The Academy Awards have to attract young viewers to remain the biggest awards show. That’s why they expanded the Best Picture category to 10 nominees, allowing more populist films to be included.

They’ve also started a huge social networking push, announcing recently that the ceremony will be streaming live online, and named the unlikely young duo of Anne Hathaway and James Franco as co-hosts.

This is all costing the Academy a pretty penny, during a time when movie ticket sales are down. However, all they really need to attract younger viewers is “The Twilight Saga.”

I am not suggesting that the prestigious awards show should tarnish its reputation by including “Twilight” nominees in undeserved categories. Most reasonable Twi-Hards are willing to admit Robert Pattinson’s performance as Edward doesn’t quite match up to Colin Firth in “The King’s Speech” or James Franco in “127 Hours.”

What I am suggesting, simply, is they add some categories where “Twilight” will be a lock.

Creepiest Supernatural Performance
Dakota Fanning in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”
Ashley Bell in “The Last Exorcism”
Dimitri Coats in “Suck”
Ken Jeong in “Vampires Suck”

WINNER: Dakota Fanning”
