Breaking Dawn 2 - SPOILERS
I am not kidding, you must experience this movie without spoilers to fully appreciate the journey!
That being said, if you HAVE seen the movie, feel free to click to read more....
I mean by now most people have seen the movie, lived through the "twist" and.... were you believing? Even in Harry Potter, some of our beloved characters died! And I kind of wished there had been some bloodshed in Breaking Dawn. When they cast all the new covens, I guessed that it was so they could kill them off and create the action and battle required in a movie, without breaking fans hearts quite as bad, sinve they weren't covens or characters we loved so dearly from the books. Never did I imagine such an epic battle, what an emotional rollercoaster! More on that in a moment, let's start from the start..... I had seen the opening 10 minutes or so from Comic-Con. I loved seeing Bella-Vampire hunt, it was so epic. I mean the speed, the strength, the interactions with Edward and finally when she saves a deer to feed on the mountain lion? awesomeness! PG-13, you have done me right ;) I thought it was a perfect mix of romance and hot, steamy, love.... the banter after by the fire was sweet and the close-up skin shots were perfect.... yes! I loved everything about this. From when she comments on his stank, to when she drags him out of the house to beat his ass for imprinting on her daughter and nicknaming her Nessie "after the Loch Ness Monster?" bahahaha perfect combination of emotion and humour throughout these scenes. I also have to say I loved Rosalie's facial expressions and comments when Jacob has to tell Bella about the imprinting and of course all the Cullen's, in particular Edward, when Bella is kicking Jacob's ass. Amazing, as always, but this one was especially moving. I am creating the scene-by-scene list as always, stay tuned for link. Less creepy than I thought. Knowing what Mackenzie Foy looks like made the CGI younger Renesme's a little strange, but not robotic strange, thankfully. The distance between the eyes was a bit distracting, but it worked out ok. I really loved the flashforward of Alice's vision to mom, dad, baby and wolf boy all teenagers hanging out. Made it a lot less creepy right? right? Ok., some covens were awesome.... when Guri and Noel appeared I was giggling and when they spoke, I died. So funny! I really loved them, actually I loved Taylor's bug-eyed look and giggle as Jacob when talking to Bella in the car. "Dracula one and dracula two" bahahahah Ok the big "twist" I mentioned it above a bit, but honestly, best ever! For all the reasons above, but also because it was just enough action to get even non-twi-fans into the movie. My husband loved it! One thing I did find out from awesome @Jaymes805 was that this whole "scene" was in the book, kind of: Best so far! Bill Condon is god.
More...
Who was duped?
I even said, while sobbing, "this must be a vision" and "the amazon is making them see this" but somehow, believed it was happening... Stephenie Meyer produced, she approved it and she wanted it to end with a bang..... boy did it ever!
I saw the movie again today with my husband and daughter, both who, like me, believed this was actually happening... I can never take back the vision of Carlisle's head... ever...
I have to say, I loved the movie, best one yet. Not only the homage to past movies through Bella "letting Edward in" or the credits that recognized everyone involved in all of these movies, but the fight scene.
When I read Breaking Dawn, I have to admit, I didn't love it. I really hated that when the Volturi and Cullens and witnesses all got together, the half vampire child came with Alice and Jasper and everyone just agreed to disagree... "my bad, as you were" BORING!!!
From the start
Sex Scenes
Jacob, Imprinting, Wolves
Soundtrack
Renesme
Covens
Loved the Amazon ladies, having seen them in real life, they really are tall, strong women, perfect casting. I wish Erik Odom had more screen time, he is so awesome! I guess having met them at COmic-Con and then at Fan Camp I was disappointed at how little screen time and speaking lines most of them had.
I really loved Kate and Garrett together, and the camp fire when the vamps share war stories, too fun! Alistar was awesome and really, overall I thought they were all pretty amazing, if only we saw more of each of them.
Battle
"Alice gave Aro the excuse he needed to get out of the fight. If he hadn't been so terrified of Bella, he probably would have gone ahead with his original plan."
Now, not many of us would have read into that one sentence the twenty minute insanity that took place on screen.... I joked that the one sentence = 20 terrifying movie minutes, a xanax and a box of tissues.
Overall
What did you think????

Breaking Dawn Part Two - NO SPOILERS!
The movie is amazing, I think the best of the series, which says a lot because I liked Eclipse best as far as the books go, and also as far as the movies went before.
The "twist" is indeed a twist. It is something different from the book and something the book was missing! If you have heard my rants about the problems with 'Breaking Dawn' as a book, then you can likely guess where I am going with this....
I URGE and BEG you to:
1. SEE THE MOVIE
2. DO NOT READ SPOILERS, you need to just experience this blind
3. Bring tissues, and a lot of them, I mean a lot... I was ugly crying for at least the last half hour of the movie
4. Email, tweet, text, comment here once you see the movie.
I will probably wait at least until after the weekend to post my review, because I truly feel anything anyone says will spoil it for you and take away from the emotional journey this movie pulls you through.
I will add that at one point I screamed at the screen as I sobbed ugly loud tears "THIS MOVIE IS HORRRRIBLLLLEEEEEE, NOOOOoooooooo!!!!!!"
If I needed to describe it in one word: emotional.
One more word? SHOCKING!
That is all, I can't wait for you to all see this movie - Bill Condon is amazing! I am speechless and starting to tear up again in the airport just thinking about everything.
I can not believe it is really over.... for good...

More BD2 Camping Deets....
Does Group number or the order in which you check in have any bearing on where you are placed during the premiere?
No. There’s no reason to be the first in line for your Group. There’s no need to line up early. You will just be wasting your own time. Fan placement along the red carpet during the premiere will be managed differently than it has in the past and where you end up pitching your tent will have no correlation to where you end up on the carpet. If you are in Group 1, which has a check in time of 8 – 10 AM, you will be fine if you show up at any time during that window.
Will I be able to charge my phone, tablet, etc. while at camp?
Yes, Summit is working on making charging accessible for campers.
Will they have enough room for me to camp?
Yes. Again, you don’t have to worry about being the first in line for your Group. They are prepared to handle the number of campers. If you have been assigned a Group number for camp, there is a spot for you.
More FAQs for Fan Camp.

Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2 NEW Ending?
And it's this ending that was ultimately decided to be used in the film.
Robert Pattinson couldn't believe his eyes when he read it. He tells EW:
"When I first read the script, I got to that part and was like, 'What?' And then I had to go back a page. It does it a serious justice."
Kristen Stewart seems to love it. She says:
"It's clearly made by someone who really cares. That's why Bill Condon is perfect. Thank God for him."
What do you think they may change that fans would love (because, let's face it, Bill, Steph, Melissa, they would only do it to make it epic)
I am excited for a change/surprise... so excited! I have some predictions... a fastforward to future life (Renesme/Jacob?), maybe kill some Volturi (I wanted this in the book so badly), Hmmm.. any other ideas?

U-Haul moving truck at Robert Pattinson's home
The moving truck was there this morning at the home Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart once shared. Although the house and furniture were purchased by Rob, it is unknown who is moving out (maybe both?)
Looks like Rob doesn't need to make a public statement... this statement is enough...
Radar Online reports:
A U-Haul truck pictured departing from the home once shared by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Saturday morning could spell the end of the couple’s broken relationship.
The truck was spotted pulling out the driveway of the $6 million Los Angeles mansion the Twilight stars had called home.
The couple’s relationship appears not to be surviving Stewart's stunning admission of an affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.
Pattinson is said to be “devastated” by the betrayal of his girlfriend of four years.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the couple are now not even on speaking terms and are living apart following the publication of photos showing Kristen in the arms of the married, father-of-two, kissing and caressing each other.
Pattinson now wants a “man to man” chat with Sanders who also betrayed the young actor as they had become good friends and spent time together as couples with the director’s actress wife Liberty Ross.
Time will tell how the parties involved recover from this.... Meanwhile fans are becoming increasingly concerned about how this will impact Breaking Dawn Part 2 promotion, premiere and conventions... Will they get over this and get back together? Will they move past it to remain professional for the last stint together wrappingup BD2? or will this make thing awkward and difficult?

My Comic-Con Journal: Thursday
Thursday we were up bright and early to prepare for Breaking Dawn Part 1 panel. We packed everything up and they condensed the line at about 8am. There was a buzz of excitement in the air as we all moved in closer together awaiting entry into the giant Hall H.
There was a lot of media there, as there had been over the past day or two and I did a few interviews wearing my giant shades in hopes of not being easily identified by co-workers back home, ha ha!
When it was time to move, we were reminded to walk slowly, not run and let me tell you, I have never walked so quickly. We got fairly close to the front, the whole weekend is a blur, but I seem to think row7 or so... regardless, it was my first time in Hall H and I was thrilled with my seats.
We had our 3D glasses and got to watch some trailers of upcoming movies.
The rules of Hall H are that you can not take photos or video tape footage on screens. So trailers, clips, etc are not supposed to be taped. I know some people do anyways, but security seemed pretty on top of this and I didn't risk trying to capture any of the clips or trailers.
The Breaking Dawn Panel was pretty awesome. Paul McDonald, Nikki Reed's husband and American Idol alum was sitting right behind me ;)
**will update on BD2 panel content in different post later today**
The panel itself was great with a huge table of guests:
From the left: Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Foy, Stephenie Meyer, Peter Facinelli, Liz Reaser, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone.
I have more photos on Facebook (Search and add me: Mandy S Mind) but here is a sample:
The "new vampires" also came out at the end in what was one of the most awkwawrd moments ever... they all were introduced and came out, but then, that was it.. like no questions or anything, the moderater was like.... um... there you have them... LMAO... ah well.. Erik Odom got the largest applause, it was awesome! He is so sweet and deserves it!
after all that excitement I wanted to get to another panel, however, by the time I got there it was completely full (I think Teen Wolf was the one) so I went and joined TJ and Funmbie for Ballroom 20 pilots and panels.
It was pretty awesome we got to see Beauty & the Beast pilot and panel, Elementary pilot and panel and then I stayed for Dexter pilot and panel by myself (which was nice because as a single seat I moved right up front)
here are a few shots from Ballroom 20 that afternoon, more on facebook:
After a very long day a few of us went out for dinner and/or meetups....
That was my crazy Thursday... and with Twilight out of the way, things should have calmed down... but they didn't... us Twigals actually enjoy a lot of other shows and combined with nerd boys and geek girls from all over, the rest of Comic-Con was just as exciting, if not more....
***More Soon**
