breaking Breaking Dawn into two movies....?

dear blog,

I had read a little blurb on www.tmz.com (i think) regarding a little turmoil over the new Breaking Dawn movie. Apparently Kellen Lutz and Ashley Green won't do Breaking Dawn unless they get more money. Allegedly the believe they're worth more money than the uber popular Twilight Saga and Summit Entertainment are giving them.

AND....just like Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (cough cough) - Summit, Stephanie Meyer, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, et al have signed off on breaking Breaking Dawn up into two movies. You know....to stretch out Rob Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's careers.

my thoughts....? well, cutting Kellen Lutz and Ashley Green because you don't want to pay them more money is pretty shitty. Summit replaced red-headed Victoria for whatever reasons but she's not a "vital" character in the movie/book. All you see of her anyway is a flash of curly, firey red hair - the face is just incidental. if you take Emmet and Alice out and replace them with some other face - there's gonna be some shite hitting the proverbial fan. yeah...they have small parts, aren't really THAT important to the story line and all we really wanna see is Edward and Bella get jiggy but they are, afterall, Cullens. You cannot take a Cullen and replace them. Period. Kellen and Ashely are actually, dare I say, talented young people. Summit...give 'em the money and cut the shite. Raping 12 yr old girls...I mean selling dolls and toilet paper of Twilight characters has given you beaucoup bucks. now share it with people who can actually act and not just the ones with pretty hair and immovable facial features.

secondly...breaking the final installment of the series into two movies, just like Harry Potter's last movie, is probably the only way Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will have a well received movie. the twilight movies have obscenely successful for the two. their other movies...not so much. K-Stew is a pretty girl and she can act (better than I can anyway) but every movie I've ever seen her in- she has the same scream, same monotone voice, same body language, etc. She hasn't changed since she was 12 yrs old. and Robert Pattinson - ok...i'm not gonna lie. the boy is freakin' hot. he can sing to me and rock me to sleep any day of the damn week...but again, I've never seen him in anything where he actually knocks my socks off. If he weren't Edward Cullen - he'd be about as obscure as Courtney Love without Kurt Cobain.

although I'd hate to see the Twilight Saga drag on anymore than it has to (it's almost as droll as watching American Idol...which I don't do) I really think the only way...and I mean the ONLY way Rob and K-Stew will have lucrative careers is if they continue to play Edward and Bella until they're 90 years old.

i guess i can't blame stephanie meyer for wanting to milk her twilight saga for all it's worth. I mean, as far as i can see, and after reading her books...she's gonna need to because quite frankly...she fell into shit and came out popular, too.
