You all know how much a fan I am of the "Twilight" movie series. I am dying with anticipation for "Eclipse" to come out at the end of the month. Will I make it? Only time will tell!
The bar has been raised for actors world wide by the quality of the acting in the "Twilight" movies. So high it's almost off the ground . . . almost. Which is why I got a good chuckle when I read the following tidbit on-line about Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, two of the actors who play Cullen "siblings". (Yes, they were so memorable that I cannot even recount the names of their characters.):
Greene and Lutz had reportedly been holding out for a bigger payday in the range of $2 million to $4 million depending on different sources, and while they didn't receive quite that much moolah, the Hollywood Reporter claims the duo will earn in the neighborhood of $1.25 million for each of the final films -- a major raise from what they were paid for the first three.
Really? Are you serious? Wow. Who do they think they are? Hollywood superstars? Ha! Far from it. Just because the movie is a hit with audiences, namely women who have come for some eye candy in the form of Edward Cullen and shirtless Jacob Black and not for movie quality, doesn't mean the show is actually good. They should be paying the franchise for the publicity for their careers, not the other way around.
The only comforting thought is that the curly haired actor in the movies who plays the bug-eyed drug entranced vampire Jasper did not get the same kind of pay raise. Um, I don't know who his acting coach is, but he needs to get a new one. Creepy and goofy are not the same thing.

I have about the same thoughts that you do. Will not be seeing it, am sick of hearing about it. Blah. More power to all those that enjoy it. It is not for me.
