Come On Summitt..........

Have we not waited long enough for at least a teaser trailer of Eclipse? It is time to let it go. Give us a taste. Tantalize us. Make us beg for more. We, the viewing public, are making you all rich, so it's time for payback, you conceited, egotistical, money grubbing morons. We get poorer, you get richer. Have we not paid our dues? June isn't that far away.

It's bad enough that they haven't said anything about Breaking Dawn beyond it will be made. One movie, two movies, what? Frankly, I'd be happy with one long finish. Hey, I remember seeing Gone With The Wind and the Sound of Music in the theaters. There was a 15 minute intermission in the middle. Time enough to pee and get refills on popcorn and those little orange drinks in a plastic orange with a straw. I love long movies. The longer the better. However, I suppose Summit will look at the cash cow and decide to split the final chapter into two. So, Rob, Kristen, Taylor, listen up. If they go this route, dig your heels in and renegotiate your contracts. Twenty million, per picture, per actor. Not a penny less. After this much time and the first three pictures, they will have no choice but to say yes, yes, yes. I can't say no one would pay to see Breaking Dawn with a recast, but I wouldn't. I'd rent it from Netflix. Who could they get that would have any idea about the mental state of the three characters that these guys portray? Let alone anyone who would accept new actors. Recasting Victoria is one thing. Recasting the three leads, a completely other thing. Would dearly love to see Summitt get their balls in a vice like a boob in a mammogram machine.

Ah well. We will just have to wait, I suppose. Not like I own a gun or anything remotely related to a weapon.
