The Host News
The Host Update:
Saoirse Ronan has been set to star in The Host, the screen adaptation of the bestselling novel by Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer. Scripted by Andrew Niccol, the film figures to be one of the hot titles when Inferno launches sales at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival next week. Niccol, who was originally set to direct, might resurface as the filmmaker. (more frome deadline.com at the following link. Stephenie will be at Cannes to sale the project. Please do buy!! http://www.deadline.com/2011/05/twilight-saga-author-stephenie-meyers-the-host-lands-saoirse-ronan-to-star/
I really like The Lovely Bones, I cried so much. 
Ronan was wonderful in it. She is going to play both parts as Melanie and Wanderer. This is going to be exciting to wait for also. I really enjoyed this book and was hoping that second would be coming soon. She left the end open and I really want to know what happens. Did any of you like this book?
I’ll be back a little later with People mags photos from Breaking Dawn and my comments. The are MAG! I love them and I can so see the story line coming together on the big screen. If only the wait wasn’t so long………..

Breaking Dawn comes to and end.
Hi and Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack!
I know I have been gone a long time. Had a baby, had some holidays. Downsized my life, as in was out of the computer/cyber world for about 4 months. Wow, do you not know what is going on with no computer in your house. LOL
Breaking Dawn Filming Wraps:
As we sit in anticipation of the final chapter and 2 movies the cast of The Twilight Saga wraps up their filming. Can you imagine how emotional this must be for them. They have spent years filming together and now it is time to move on until they start touring around promoting the films. But they will never again all be together like this. I should have called this blog The Sun sets! I still can’t believe we have 7 months of post production for Breaking Dawn Pt 1 before we get to see. Oh so much time and so little to blog about. Here are some great pics from Breaking Dawn that have been leaked all over.. (Courtesy of Us Weekly via breakingdawnmovie.org). Do you think maybe Bella was too pale for the white suit they had on her earlier. Can you believe how skinny they both are?
Water for Elephants
With Reese and Rob’s new movie sitting in the 3rd spot with over 16 mil in ticket sales. I’d say they are doing quite well so far. Have any of you seen this? Well please don’t divulge. I am going to read the book first. I am old fashioned like that 
! I do want to watch it though but I normally read it, then buy it. I am an avid collector.
Gil’s New Pic
I am loving this picture of Jackson, Gil and Kellan. Jackson and the bandanna, LOL my kind of man.
Question of the day!
Now I have been reading my Twilight Official Guide and haven’t gotten in too far, but I do have a question that I am hoping is answered in there somewhere. If Vampires are forever frozen in the stage they were changed why is Bella perfect afterward. Now if any of you have ever been pregnant you know that your stomach does not return to normal immediately. I mean this time I am almost in better shape than before I got pregnant but that was all planned and hard work, but shouldn’t she have some kind of left over affects of the pregnancy. Hmmmmmm just something to ponder over. I can’t wait to read someones thoughts on this.
As always, thanks and come back!

Happy Birthday Bella Swan!
Hi and Welcome Back to Mac’s Twi-Attack!
Happy Birthday Bella Swan!
September 13th is a big day in Twi-World/Nation
Today is the birth date of Bella Swan. A character that inspired a World. Well not a real world but a figurative world. One that blew up the imaginations of the young and old. I often wonder how intense Stephenie Meyer’s dream was about Bella and Edward. It had to have been wonderful! She came up with the whole romantic world out of a dream. Her imagination would be something to explore. I also wonder if she ever thought it would be so big. It started with a book that many read and blew up with a movie that was made on a very small budget with very low key actors. Now those actors will be forever remembered as the Cullen Family and Bella Swan, like it or not. There are blogs and websites for the Twilight Saga and against. There is hardly a day that goes by that there isn’t some form of Twilight Saga news, be it the cast and their regular lives away from The Saga or the three movies already made, and the upcoming Breaking Dawn Duo. There are stations in Wal-mart, Target, and Hot Topic dedicated to all things Twilight. Online stores have almost anything you can imagine. It is a true cultural phenomenon. There are fans from all over the world, and it started with Bella. A real girl, not girly but just there. Kinda awkward, kinda shy but real. Maybe she appeals to so many of us because that was who we were in high school, never seeing ourselves for what we were really worth. Now don’t get me wrong I know that Edward is a big factor but without Bella who would Edward really be. Just a short lived (or long lived in vampire years) character. It is the love the two create that captivates the reader. Such a simple yet complex story to get lost in. I don’t think I will ever be able to express how much I love this series. I am in hopes that one day Stephenie will write more. I hate endings even though they have to come……
In honor of Bella’s Birthday here are some videos of our favorite (an not so fav) movies:
Here are some links to stores online with all things Twilight. Well the only ones that I prefer to use!
www.amazon.com (search Twilight Store)
Now How about some Gossip? Well I heard a rumor that Eclipse will release December 4th……. I am hoping so. There is such a long wait in between the filming and release of the next two movies. I also saw they cast Benjamin. But why so early, he wouldn’t come in to play until the BD2? I am ready for BD1 news. I promise you I will be trying to get to Baton Rouge! LOL

Eclipse: The Verdict
Hi and Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack!
This will be my last blog for some time. I don’t really feel the need to blog photos and interviews. We really are here for the Twilight Saga and Breaking Dawn is not due to start filming in what seems like an eternity much less on the big screen. If your bored go through my old blogs. There is actually some interesting stuff there.
Eclipse:
Now I am so happy to announce that I watched a silly move called Knight and day from 9:00 PM to 11:00 pM and did not have to leave the theatre to go get in line. Yes I picked a small out of the way venue this year due to the fact that standing in line for New Moon was ridiculous, especially since I didn’t care for the movie that much. I still sat in the first section/middle. To my mind the most perfect seats ever. There were 5 of us. My mother wore a Team Alice shirt because she thinks she is cute, My youngest sister wore a Team Emmit because he never gets any lines and he is hot, and of coarse I wore TEAM EDWARD… Well not really a Team Edward, but a shirt with Rpatz as Edward on it with Eclipse spelled out underneath. It was hot, so in turn I was hot. At least I think so. There were lots of people there from young to old, some even had their babies. Now why you would drag you 3 month old to a midnight movie doesn’t compute in my mind. That is truly die hard. The theatre was not as organized as San Tan in Scottsdale (I wish I would have been there since cast members attended). I had to remember that I was in East Texas! We just go with the flow, there are rules, but they are simple. And noone is telling you “sorry this line is full. You have to go around to the end of the other.” Then you get to the other and it is not 10 yards from the end of the first. The nerve! The movie did not start on time, but time is relevant when you are up at 12:00 AM.
The theatre was very quiet through the credits and then it erupted in applause as the movie started. I did not like the beginning. It should have been slower but who am I? I really like this movie though. It will never be as good as Twilight because Catherine did so much with so little and the music was incredible but Eclipse was still much better than New Moon (I may be biased since this was my fav of the 4 books). I have some points to make that I really wish they would get with he picture, literally and some highlights too.
1. The wigs suck! That’s the easiest way to state it. With all that money why can they not get this right. For goodness sake use 
Jackson’s own hair. The only time I thought Bella’s hair was ok was when the front was pulled back, but my mother disagreed. We Twi fans are broken on all sides ! LOL!!!!
2. Rosalies story was very short, but it still gave you the picture. I still don’t like her and never will. At least she was beautiful this time.
3. Kristen did much better but Good Lord its so pushed to show emotion. Same facial expressions over and over. Robert is so forlorn even when he is supposed to be happy. I too saw Remember Me and it was wonderful! I know he can act! Can someone please tell him this!
4. The change of scenes was giving me whip lash. Slade tried to put everything in there but missed the substance of the scenes. The action could have been more phenomenal if slowed down a little and built up to it a little longer. I can’t wait to see extended scenes on the DVD. It would have been better if it was longer. Why cut it so short. We were there, we already paid and would have paid regardeless of the time. Truly I did not want the movie to end. I love a good long book and a good long movie.
5. The music/score was much better. It did not overwhelm you and take over the movie. New Moon was so botched in this sense 
that I can hardly watch it. The music is background, where it should be.
6. Esme only has one line. Well I am going to see it again, but what the heck, they hardly give the family any lines at all? It annoys me. Where was the part where Alice sees them eloping and is hurt? Where is the dress? Are they saving that for Breaking Dawn so they can drag it out?
7. The camaraderie between the wolves and family was great. I loved the story telling! Wolves were still not part of the scene though. They didn’t mesh well again, too superimposed to look real. I guess it must be hard to do CGI. They were better but really awkward and fake looking.
8. Newborns- well there was so much and so little as to them. They weren’t very pretty that is for sure! IDK.. Jury is still out. 
Those are my highs and lows. I loved it. Really. I know I am so picky, and critical but I can’t help it. I love literature and cinema. I just hate when a great piece of work is put up on the screen and botched because the interpreter (she whom shall never be given credit or named on my blog) can not feel the characters.
If there is any big news I blog. I will let you know what I think of The Last Airbender. Can’t wait. I’m going Tuesday matinee. That way I don’t have people talking throught he good parts, like Eclipse where I missed parts because of cheering or clapping. Keep it to yourself.. Keep yourself contained. LOL (I might have gotten overwhelmed and clapped a time or two, but was never vocal). So bye for now and have a great Summer!
November 18, 2011 is a long hot darn wait! Get your tickers at www.twilightguide.com (also thanks to them for the pics I barrowed).

Total Eclipse of the Heart! Final
Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack.
Well I truly feel like I am beating a dead horse (not that I would ever beat a horse!) while I was trying to re-hash all the chapters in Eclipse. We have all read it over and over, and we are now beeing flooded with clips from the movie. Not long to wait (tomorrow night) and I have so much going on here I will never get through the chapters and bit off more than I could chew. And to tell the truth I am not interested at the moment. Alot is on my mind and plate and it has nothing to do with Twilight. I love this saga but it is consuming my time trying to blog all the gossip, in which I hate gossip so I have really been off the computer and out of the magazines as of late. I just want to see the movie. I have been reading The Host again. I love it. I love Sci-Fi and this may be a great movie. They better film it in Arizona~ I know that Desert so I will be watching!!!!
In other News I heard a rumor that Breaking Dawn will be filming in Louisiana. Hahahaha. I sure hope they do not start until Fall and finish during the winter. Not only is it hot and sweaty there, there are so many bugs they might drag Kristen Stewart off. On a brighter note, I am close, REALLY CLOSE. I might try out for an extra part or something. Here’s to wishful thinking.
Set your DVR or tune in to the following: (obviously I missed some of this…)
June 14: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner Jimmy Kimmel
June 15: Robert Pattinson The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
June 23: Ashley Greene and Sia(soundtrack) Jimmy Kimmel

Total Eclipse of the Heart- Chapter 11
Hi and Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack. I know I was gone last week but I’ve been in a new routine and doing some research for my own project.
Let me share this with you too! I am a Twilight Advocate….. Yep, like you didn’t already know, but I have to explain to some of my closed minded friends why this collection of books is worth a read, and not cultish, or devilish. It really gets my hair up when someone tells me that this Saga is not meant for Christians. BLAH! It has all the right ingredients, just because there are vampires, and werewolves… God gave us an imagination, also this series has inspired a lot of people to read again.. YEAH! Anyhow that was on my mind… Just my thought for the day!
I also found this mix on www.twilightguide.com of the Eclipse trailers. It is so good! You almost get the whole movie. Why do they do this to us… What I love the most is that the fans who make these trailers are more in tune with the feel of the story than the music producers. The song really fits. What do you think?
Total Eclipse of the Heart: Chapter 11- Legends
This was a long chapter. It opens up to a family scene. Just a bunch of family and friends roasting hot dogs over a 
bonfire But with a closer look you’ll realize this is not your average family since this family is tied together by something they never chose. They are wolves by blood not by choice. The entire pack and the older counsel members are all present. They eat and relax, getting into a comfortable position for legends to be told. The feel in the air changes as Old Quil begins his stories all the way back to the beginning.
Quileute’s were not always wolves, first they were spirit warriors. They could leave their bodies to protect their people. They were not able to touch them physically but they could 
use the elements and the animals to scare off warring tribes. Then many generations past and a great Chief named Taha Aki came . He was a good leader but was tricked out of his body by Utlapa. Utlapa killed his own body and took possession of Taha Aki’s and pretended to be him. He then forbade anyone from changing into their spirit warriors again. Taha Aki was sad and roamed around unable to do anything else. He once commanded a wolf down on his people, but the wolf killed one and this mad him suffer more. The wolf followed him around. Desolate he asked the wolf if he could make room for him and the wolf said ok. So, Taha Aki lived on inside the wolf. Men of the tribe were banned from the Spirit World but one had slipped into it because he understood the wolf. When he saw what had happened he tried to go back to his body but Utlapa killed him as he was reentering it. This mad e Taha Aki very angry and he burst forth out of the wolf into a new glorious body. This made the transition from spirit warrior to Wolf. Taha Aki would not let anyone go into the spirit world again. Taha Aki fathered many children and some became warriors and others did not. This is how the wolf transformation was passed on through the tribe.
When Taha Aki met his third wife he decided he would not change into a wolf again, he would age with her. She was his true spirit wife. When he was very old trouble came. Women were disappearing from the other tribes. A group of his sons went out in search of what was stealing the women. They found a trail, but they did not return. This happened again and the Wolf warriors went out. Only one returned but he came back with a cold, stony corpse that he had torn into pieces. The pieces reached out for each other and this horrified the Quileute elders so they burnt it. This was the beginning of the Cold One, or Blood Drinker story. Only one wolf was left to protect them. But soon the mate of the dead Cold One came. She killed as she came. This beautiful cold creature faced of with the last wolf and killed him. When Taha Aki saw this his rage was so great that he burst forward into his wolf. He was fighting her and his wife “The third wife” was distraught. She had just seen her child killed now it was defeating her husband. The third wife knew he needed a distraction. She knew what she had to do, she took a knife, knelt down and stabbed it through her heart. This was exactly what Taha Aki needed to gain the advantage. Two of his young sons became wolves too and they killed the woman. With the death of his Spirit Wife, Taha Aki never changed back to a human and never rejoined the tribe. Quileute men stopped becoming wolves until a larve coven of Cold Ones showed up. They said they were not like the others and formed a treaty.
Bella was so wrapped up in the stories that she didn’t realize the time or that she fell asleep. Jacob had dirven her to the treaty line. Jacob was playing nice, he even called Edward. Bella was too tired to tell Edward everything but something stuck with her. Who was she most like?
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Total Eclipse of the Heart: Chapter 10
Hi and Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack!
Well today is the day you can buy tickets. I have decided to take my chances and go on the 30th instead of midnight. It was so hectic last time, and the line in the middle of the night. YUCK. Yes, I’m not too interested in all the screaming neither. I want to watch it and enjoy. I am going to check out what time my local theatre is showing and go the next day. How all are of you planning to watch Eclipse?

Total Eclipse of the Heart: Chapter 10-Scent
Edward departs and Jacob arrives. Bella is stressed thinking about the visitor 
and is doing the dishes. Jacob starts to help her by rinsing them. They talk and she tells him she is going to be turned at graduation. This makes him off guard and he cuts his hand. Bella cleans it all up, with Bleach of coarse. She is so dramatic.
Jacob knows that Edward is waiting so he asks her to come to La Push for a bonfire and leaves again. 
Edward is laughing when he comes in and asks why she had to stab him? Well shoot, she forgot to clean up the knife. Bella gets accepted to Dartmouth and is perturbed because she knows this is all part of Edwards plan to keep her human. 
Where is her stuff, that is the question. When she tells Edward to ask Alice for it back or where she put it; it dawns on them that it was collected as evidence. In the midst of all of this the killings in Seattle are getting worse. Someone has to stop them before the Volturi come check it out.
Bella goes out on a limb and asks if she can go to the bonfire…. Edward actually says yes! They go to retreive her bike becuase she wants to return it to Jacob and she notices Edward’s and the helmet and jacket for her. She kinda explains to him that riding motorcycles is for her and Jacob because he doesn’t have to slow down too much to do it for her. Edward drives her to the treaty line to meet Jacob.
Thanks and Have a great day!

Total Eclipse of the Heart: Chapter 9
Hi and Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack!
A big Happy Birthday to Robert Pattinson!
My how time flies and now he is 24. Still a babe. In more ways than others.
Total Eclipse of the Heart Chapter 8: Target
Bella Arrives home and finds there’s a message from Jacob. “He didn’t mean it”. Well he will have to wait. She doesn’t want to talk to him right now. She decides to catch up on her chores since she was hostage for days. When she gets to her rooms he notices that some of her clothes and pillow are gone. Immediately she thinks Alice must have tidied up and or taken things. She asks Charlie if he did the laundry, as if… He says no and then Edward arrives. Immediately Edward knows someone has been in her house. He calls Emmet and Jasper and they come to sweep the woods then he goes off to catch the scent. Meanwhile the hushed tense convo has Charlie thinking they are fighting and he is happy.
Jacob calls and Bella tries to blow him off, because there are things going on. Edward talks to Jacob and then they both decide it would be good for him to come over to catch the scent.
Thanks, Have a great day!
