"Hi Shibsy,

Sorry – can’t say we have any information as of yet about what the changing US release date will mean for the UK and Ireland!

Best wishes,

Sam"

 So that's it, not even the people at the UK Stephenie Meyer site have info about it. If anyone knows anything officially about the release dates, send me an email at twilight.ireland@gmail.com .

Also, this was on Stephenie Meyer's MySpace blog:

Just a few things about the new release Nov. 21st release date for Twilight:

1) I have no idea how this affects international release dates. I’m not exactly in the loop on those kinds of things. Hopefully that information will be available soon. I’ll see what I can find out…

2) I’m really, really sorry for any inconvenience the new schedule is causing people. I feel your pain. Let’s just say that my Thanksgiving plans are going through a major overhaul, too.

3) Looking on the bright side, this new release date means that Twilight will get to be on more screens–a lot more. That might mean a shorter drive for some people.

So us fans have to remain clueless about the movie release date outside of the U.S. Any news will be posted here straight away though.

I've received a few questions about the Twilight movie release date, since it has been changed from the 12.12.08 to the 21.11.08 in the U.S.

I should have the answer regarding any changes to the release date here soon. Expect an update no later than tomorrow.

First of all, I'd just like to say thanks so much for all the comments and emails. It's great to see such a wide Irish fanbase. Keep them coming!

Since you are all so great and love to talk about the saga as much as everyone else, the TWILIGHT IRELAND FORUM is finally here! Specifically for us irish fans ;)

Of course, other fans are welcome too!

Check it out, register and start posting.

Just a few moments ago, I went on to the Twilight Lexicon Blog, as I do everyday.

It's the #1 source of Twilight news and I don't know where a huge Twi-hard such as myself would be without it.

However, when the site opened, all that was present was a rather long note from Alphie and Pel saying that the site had been hacked and that it's going to take a while to get it back to normal. I felt so sorry for them as the message was so heartfelt and full of shock that someone would do this to them.

I am truely outraged by this. Why would someone do this to people who work so hard on a site for other people? It is indecent, not too mention disrespectful and callow.

Please, leave comments on what you think.. And my thoughts go out to the great girls who run the Twilight Lexicon, hope the site and forums get back up and running soon.

 

Okay - I know I should have had Breaking Dawn read by the end of the day I got it.. but I've been pretty busy!

Anyhoo...all i can say after just finishing it is.. OH..MY..EDWARD! Really, I'm speechless!

Please, leave your comments about what you thought about the book, your favourite parts, and maybe what you didn't like.

*Comments to this post please. Those of you who haven't finished reading the book, don't read the comments. There's sure to be some spoilers.

 

I am sure by now that you have either read Breaking Dawn or are in the middle of reading it.

As for myself, things have been pretty hectic the past few days, so I'm just over half-way through it.

For those of you who went to a B.D. release party, hope you had as much fun as I had at the one in Galway!

HAPPY READING!!! - shibsy.

 

Okay a real spoiler for you guys, straight from Stephenie Meyer herself!

It was posted on EW today (check out the full article here) that Bella and Edward WILL get married, and their wedding will occur early in Breaking Dawn. It was also said that Stephenie originally wrote the wedding for the end of Twilight, but her editor did not want the couple to get married so young and so early in the series. For those of you who have always wanted Bella and Jacob to get together, fear not,the wedding happens early in the book, and as said on EW,  "Trust that unexpected thrills still await".

EXCITING STUFF!

Leave comments about what you all think! I want to hear your opinions on this.
