Forever Flashback
Finding Our Muse
Hi TwiBetweens! The Forever Flashback this week is one, if not the most iconic group scene from Twilight. The baseball scene. This scene made us long for thunderstorms and striped uniforms. It was our first introduction to Stephenie Meyer's favorite band and aptly named influence Muse.
Some of my favorite lines and character interactions come from this scene. We get a glimpse of Rosalie's overly-theatrical personality, Esme and Carlisle's attempt to keep the peace, Emmett as everyone's favorite 'Monkey Man', Alice's grace, and even Jasper shows off his skills.
Super Massive Black Hole is a wonderful and upbeat backdrop for a break from the pensive Edward that we've come to love. We get to see him let loose and enjoy his vampire gifts. We also get to see the lengths that Edward will go to for Bella's protection. The introduction of the Nomads is another facet of the very clear and present danger that Bella is put in, living in Edward's world.
Fun Fact: To keep the illusion of being able to catch and throw the baseballs at vampire speed, clear Christmas ornaments were used and then a baseball image was put in its place.
I hope you have had a great week!

Series Part 4- Twilight Vampires are not REAL Vampires!
Twilight Vampires are not REAL Vampires!
REALLY?!
I didn't even want to warrant that statement with an article but here goes:
1. Vampires are mythical creatures.
2. Vampires are not REAL.
3. Twilight is a work of FICTION.
Who decides what is a real Vampire? If we are going to be technical and go to the origin of the Vampire myth there are no real Vampires!
A lot of Historians agree that the myth of the Vampire originated with Count Vladimir Dracul or otherwise known as Vlad the impaler. A bloodthirsty man who believed that drinking the blood of his enemies and bathing in it will give him eternal life but he died as a mortal. He used to decapitate his enemies and impale their heads and sometimes their bodies outside his castle walls to scare off any attacks. He was according to history an average looking man and was known for his cruelty.
Now if we go by that as the REAL Vampire then none of the stories ever written about Vampires depict REAL Vampires. So yes in that form of reference Twilight Vampires are not real Vampires but neither are ANY other Vampires ever written.
I have run out of theories for my articles, so if you have heard any others that I haven't addressed yet let me know and I will see what I can do!
Thank you for listening to my rants,
Hugs

OtherBetween - Maps to the Stars
We like to give you heads up on projects, even when we know very little about it :) Today, we give you a little snippet about Robert Pattinson's current project, Maps to the Stars.
The details of this movie are being kept under wraps, however it's being referred to as a "ghost story" of sorts. The only thing I've been able to find on the various sites is that the movie is about two former childhood stars. I've read on some sources that the film was delayed in receiving funding and the green-light because of the poor light in which it paints Hollywood and it's celebrities. It's rumored that in addition to the funding delays, actors weren't willing to take the project on because of the way it portrays them. That is, with the exception of Mr. Pattinson. When Director David Cronenberg approached Rob, he agreed without hesitation.
The script was penned by Bruce Wagner, and alongside Rob (who plays the lead character, Jerome) stars John Cusack, Julianne Moore, and Sarah Gadon (who played Rob's wife in Cosmopolis).
Keep your eyes peeled on our lovely blog for more information about this one. It sounds interesting, Yes?
