“Eyes On Fire” On SYTYCD

I’m a dedicated watcher of So You Think You Can Dance and last night I nearly lost my mind when I saw my favorite dancer of the season Kupono was dancing with his partner to “Eyes On Fire.”

This dance is absolutely amazing, I can’t think of any other words to describe how great this dance came out. It reminded me so much of Twilight it’s ridiculous.

What do you guys think? You can’t say that this is nothing short of amazing.

Mike Welch Spills A ‘New Moon’ Secret

SANTA MONICA, California — Without a doubt, huge groups of Twilighters all over the world fantasize about Edward Cullen every day. But as popular as breakout star Robert Pattinson has become, those who’ve read “New Moon” know that his character Edward is absent for much of the story. Now, we’ve got the scoop on director Chris Weitz’s dreamy solution to the problem. “They figured out a very clever way to get Edward back in the film much more than he is in the book,” revealed “Twilight” series star Michael Welch when he stopped by the MTV studios recently, acknowledging that Weitz and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg have devised a plan to work around the “New Moon” plot — which has Edward breaking up with Bella (Kristen Stewart) early in the story and fleeing to Italy. “It’s more of, like, a hallucination kind of thing.” As any good Twilighter knows, Bella is heartbroken by their breakup but slowly begins dealing with her Edward-less existence through the realization that dangerous activities — motorcycle riding, cliff diving, etc. — cause her to hear the sexy vampire’s voice in her head. Welch was fascinated by Stewart’s pretend hallucinations on set and explained to us that Weitz intends to insert sequences of her seeing Edward as “New Moon” inches closer to its November 20 release date. “It’s tricky,” he said of the filmmaker’s dilemma. “I mean, [Edward] leaves for months.” “In the book, she just hears his voice,” continued Welch, who plays rival Bella pursuer Mike Newton in the movies. “In the film, it’s more of like a hallucination kind of thing. He will be [in the movie more than the book] for sure.” While the news of more RPattz is sure to excite some fans, others may be concerned about the tweak — and the manner in which Edward will be glimpsed in Bella’s hallucinations. Will he be an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like figure, giving her advice from the great beyond? Will Edward come across more like a god, overseeing her safety from half a world away? Will the sequences play like a bad acid trip from a ’60s movie, or more like Bella interacting with an imaginary friend? “It’s going to be interesting to see — I have no idea,” Welch explained. “You can sort of picture it reading [the script], but I don’t know how they actually went about filming that stuff.”

Interview With The Designer Of The Twilight Boardgame

twilightboardgame

Looking for another way to bond with your Twilight lovin’ tween or teen beyond Monopoly or Scrabble this summer? The Twilight Board game may be the perfect solution. The hype has died down a bit; Amazon.com has The Twilight Game in stock right now for a mere $12.46, down from $19.99.Peace.Love.Twilight recently enlisted the help of fellow bloggers in an interview with the game designers at To Be Continued and MegaGigaOmniCorp. Learn that the game was based off of the movie and other interesting facts:

Snarkier Than You of Twitarded-
Are you a fan of Twilight? Or did you just take this on as “a job”? If it’s the latter, and then you “had” to go read Twilight/watch the movie, what did you think?

Some of us were fans of Twilight before we worked on the project and we all saw the movie and read the books. We can say that we really enjoyed both!
Ana Cristina of The Danger Magnet-
Is this game something anyone can play, or do you need to be a fan of the series to play?

It definitely helps to be a fan of the series especially with the trivia challenges, but we intentionally designed the game in such a way that you don’t need to know everything about Twilight to enjoy the board game. Although we didn’t include a house rules section in the rulebook, players are encouraged to play the game in the way that they want to play it. For example, if you are playing with a bunch of friends who don’t know anything about Twilight, feel free to use only the non-trivia halves of the cards.
Ashley -
How did you come up with the questions?

We based the trivia questions on the movie. We wanted this to be the kind of game that you would want to play with your friends, so we brought in social and party elements. We also wanted you to have things to do even when it wasn’t your turn, which was the inspiration for some of the more social questions.
Twilight Moonlighter-
What was your inspiration behind the original game?

The game is designed to be a fun experience for Twilight fans that allows them to test their trivia knowledge and learn more about their friends and family.

Twilight has become such a huge franchise, but in a very independent, detached way, almost as if they didn’t realize demand for all things Twilight would be so great. Was the board game designed early as a treat for the true Twilight fan or quickly made as an attempt to quell fan demands?

The Twilight board game was designed mainly as a treat for fans.

Are there any plans for future board games based on New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn?

We’re hard at work on New Moon now — Check out Cardinal Games’ website for more details.
MeLL -
Is the board game available worldwide, or only to select countries?

The board game is currently available in North America. Cardinal Games has more information on the international release schedule.
Anonymous -
Are the questions just Twilight related or are there New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn questions as well?

All of the questions are only related to Twilight, the first book in the Twilight series. There are no New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn questions.
86rabbit-
Here’s a link to the entry on BoardGameGeek.com: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41068. And here’s the description: “A trivia and roll-and-move style game where players go from scene to scene until they end up at the prom. Sometimes questions are movie-trivia based, and others are ‘interpersonal’ questions for the players to answer about each other as themselves (no role-playing)” I would ask why you decided on a roll-and-move trivia game? Why not some other mechanic such as deduction, like Mr. Jack? And deciding on trivia, why not create more than 132 cards?

We wanted the board game to be accessible to Twilight players, who are familiar with popular board games, such as Monopoly and Trivia Pursuit. We knew that many players would want to be able to flex their Twilight knowledge, so we included trivia, but we also wanted there to be social elements, as the world of Twilight is all about relationships.

So that sounds pretty cool, at least we know that the people involved in making this game have read the saga like we have. What’d you think of this interview?
