The Breaking Dawn Part 2 Night on Twitter was a huge success last night! As you know, the plan was to skip the MTV Movie Awards thanks to the lack of nominations for Breaking Dawn Part 2, and just watch the movie together on Twitter using the hashtag #breakingdawnpart2night. Well, not only did the hashtag become more popular than any MTV Movie Award related topic or tag, but several entertainment outlets caught wind of the situation and wrote about it.

From Yahoo News:

“Twilight” fans are speaking up and tuning out.

The popular teen series has historically been a MTV Movie Awards mainstay, racking up several nominations and winning Best Picture each of the four times it was nominated. But this year its final installment, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” only received one nomination, and was completely left in the cold in the Best Picture category.

#BreakingDawnPart2Night is the hashtag of solidarity among fans who have vowed to boycott Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards. Tweets with the hashtag can be seen in several languages — all containing similar messages that droves of Twi-hards will be viewing “Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ instead of watching the MTV awards show broadcast on Sunday. A plan that has the potential of sinking ratings. The film, after all, was the sixth highest-grossing of all of 2012.

@TwilightPoison, with more than 81 thousand followers, is just one of the many Twilight-related Twitter accounts leading the charge.

UPDATE: #BreakingDawnPart2Night is currently the 4th highest trending topic on Twitter in the U.S — just ahead of #mtvmovieawards and #rebelwilson.

From International Business Times:

The “Twilight” lovers were unable to see Robsten win the liplock award for the fifth time in five years. Many of them admitted to boycotting the MTV Movie Awards since the last installment of the “Twilight” series was given only one award nomination.

Meanwhile, #BreakingDawnPart2Night, the Twihard boycott hashtag, has been the top trending Twitter topic in the U.S. since the awards show began, even ahead of #mtvmovieawards and #rebelwilson, who is hosting the show.

Entertainmentwise.com:

Twilight has in past years dominated the MTV Movie Awards, with the Best Kiss Award effectively becoming the Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Award, but this year Twi-hards boycotted the ceremony in their droves due the pair not even receiving a nomination.

Yet the move enraged Twilight fans, despite Taylor Lautner winning Best Shirtless Performance. Never ones to take things less seriously than strictly necessary, Twi-hards then boycotted the awards by watching Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and tweeting #BreakingDawnPart2Night.

At one stage during the ceremony the hashtag was even trending above #mtvmovieawards and host Rebel Wilson. Also trending was “Robsten is the best kiss”, showing that annoying Twi-hards may well be the 21st Century social media equivalent of provoking a Mongol horde.

From AltFilmGuide:

The most interesting thing about the MTV Movie Awards 2013 were Twilight fans stealing the spotlight from the MTV Movie Awards themselves. Twifans were mad as hell because this year MTV didn’t give them a chance to vote for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart — especially in the Best Kiss category. Throughout the ceremony, the hashtag #BreakingDawnPart2Night was a Twitter trending topic, oftentimes above #mtvmovieawards. And when Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence were announced as the Best Kiss winners, #RobstenIsTheBestKiss became a top trending topic as well.

From HollywoodLife:

Don’t make ‘Twilight’ fans angry! The MTV Movie Awards found that out the hard way on Apr. 14 when the saga’s huge devoted fan base decided to take action against the show for mostly shutting out ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ from the awards.
For those who thought the biggest event of Apr. 14 would be the 2013 MTV Movie Awards totally underestimated the Twi-hards. To protest the award show’s spiteful decision to nominate Breaking Dawn – Part 2 for only one award, the fans skipped the show and re-watched the movie instead!

Under the hashtag “#BreakingDawnPart2Night,” Twi-hards started a viral campaign to boycott the MTV Movie Awards. It was a fun display of fan advocacy, one that dissed MTV but also allowed Breaking Dawn fans to watch their favorite movie together via Twitter. But mostly, the Twilight poison campaign on Apr. 14 was meant to attack MTV.

The Twi-hards have a reason to be angry. For the past four years, the Twilight films have been top award-winners at the MTV Movie Awards. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart won Best Kiss for four straight years, and they weren’t even nominated this year!

MTV nominated Twilight big-time for four years and their ratings surely got a boost because of it. Twi-hards were loyal to the MTV Movie Awards and then the network dissed Breaking Dawn – Part 2 completely out of the blue!

Here are screen caps of the trending topics last night, showing how high the hashtag trended over MTV Movie awards related topics or tags:

We’re still waiting to hear about the MTV Movie Awards ratings, but one thing is certain: fans who joined our watch along had more fun, than fans who watched MTV Movie Awards, which was described as boring, over the top and not funny. It’s also important to point out that turning your back on such a large group of devoted fans is never a good idea. The Twilight fandom still has some influence even if the movies are over.

WATCH ALONG FOR EUROPEAN FANS:

Many European fans felt left out last night, though many of them stayed up and joined us. So we just came up with date and time for their own watch along tomorrow at 9 PM, UK time. We’ll use the same hashtag: #breakingdawnpart2night

GIVEAWAY WINNERS:

I’ll announce the winners of our giveaways on Wednesday, since we’re doing two watch alongs for the fans and the giveaways are open to all countries. If I faved a tweet of yours, that means that you’re in the running to win a prize. For a chance to win just tweet “Watching #breakingdawnpart2night with @TwilightPoison”. Winners will be chosen randomly and they will be announced on this site. Here’s all you need to know about our giveaways.

SPECIAL THANKS:

We are so happy to have been behind this crazy night that Twilight fans needed to say goodbye to the saga after five years of the movies taking over our lives, but it was only a big hit because of you guys.

Each issue of this four-issue series will be printed on high quality glossy paper, the traditional comic book size of approximately 6.625″ x 10.25″, saddle stitched, with a unique UV spot gloss cover embellishment exclusive to Indiegogo!

MTV announced the nominees for the MTV Movie Awards a few weeks ago on a live show on the Internet. Pretty much no one cared about the nominations, or the live stream for that matter, except the Twilight fandom, who watched the entire thing only to find out that the only nomination Breaking Dawn Part 2 scored was “Best abs – Taylor Lautner”. Needless to say, we were all speechless and very disappointed because we did not see this coming from the network that was always very supportive of Twilight from the very beginning, way before anyone else picked up the buzz. No Best Kiss for fifth year in a row? No Best Fight after those stressful, heart racing minutes we all endured during the awesome vampire battle? No Best actress, no Best Actor, and of course, no Best Movie? The decision seemed pretty deliberate (MTV still has not explained how exactly the nominees were chosen), so the fandom felt betrayed and heartbroken because we always support MTV, the VMAs, the MAs and basically anything that was used to draw our attention for ratings. MTV knows the power this fandom has, and used it several times so we’d tune in and watch their shows. For four years we were pretty loyal to MTV, and grateful for everything they offered to this fandom, but sadly we didn’t get our final chance to celebrate the franchise because MTV was too busy nominating Oscar nominated movies this year. Yes, MTV, I’m sure that as Ben Affleck polishes his Oscar, he’s making room for the MTV Golden Popcorn. Call me crazy, but I grew up watching these award shows, and the cool thing about them is that they celebrated movies that the critics never took seriously, but that audiences loved and enjoyed. Which is why their statuette is golden popcorn. Audiences chose the winners.

Right after the nominations were announced, we suggested to our followers on our twitter page to have a watch-along of the final movie on Twitter on the same night as the MTVMAs, so we dominate Twitter’s trending topics on that night as if the movie had been nominated. So here’s what we’re going to do:

1) Let’s all pop our Breaking Dawn Part 2 DVDs at exactly the same time when the show starts: April 14 9/8c. We’ll comment the movie, we’ll post memories from Tent City, share pictures, gifs, etc using the hashtag: #BreakingDawnPart2Night. I’m sure that if we all do this, more trending topics will emerge too, but let’s use this as the official hashtag. Spread the word and share this post daily, so nobody misses this watch-along!

2) Since Taylor might attend the ceremony to collect that token, patronizing award DON’T FALL FOR IT. Don’t watch just for Taylor (sorry, TayTay. You know what? If you’re reading this, don’t go. The movie deserves more than a Best Abs award). We’ll post videos and pictures of his appearance, so you don’t need to endure the entire show just to see him. Join us on this watch along so MTV feels the huge drop in ratings. This is why we’re doing this watch-along too.

3) Tweet this to the cast members and invite them to join us! Maybe they can provide additional commentary for us and share anecdotes from the set.

4) Twilight Poison will personally throw our own giveaway to celebrate our 5th anniversary during the watch-along! We’ve been saving a couple of posters from Comic Con signed by the cast and Stephenie Meyer on the Hall H line when they came over to visit fans. We’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to give them away and I think this is it. This contest is open to ALL COUNTRIES! So you have to join our watch-along and follow us on Twitter for a chance to win. I’ll throw in more prizes if I can, I’ll let you know. Other fan sites might throw giveaways too, so be on the look out. We’ll all retweet and link each other so you don’t miss anything.

5) Join Twitter if you haven’t! The Twilight community on Twitter is very active, fun, and large. You will have fun joining, and several cast members are on Twitter too. We’ve met so many wonderful fans and readers thanks to Twitter and we’ve become friends over the years. You will not regret joining us there.

We’re doing this not just because we’re butthurt over the lack of nominations, but because we need our final celebration of the saga, and these award shows were always so much fun to watch together on Twitter. So we’re also doing this for us, as our final goodbye. Our last group hug. Do join us, and it will be fun to troll MTV!

Finally, our Twitter page @TwilightPoison passed the 80,000 followers mark! Thanks so much for your support all these years. Twitter definitely helped this site become what it is, and without it, a large portion of our readers wouldn’t have found us. The coolest and most legendary moments in the fandom happened on Twitter. If you speak Spanish, please follow @TwilightPoisonE, which is so close to reaching 20,000 followers! Together, both accounts almost have 100,000 followers and we couldn’t be happier. Our spanish account features translations of news, tweets and local news for South American fans, and we occasionally have special giveaways for Latin American fans only. We also need more help on our Spanish blog, so if you’re a huge fan, you enjoy writing and you’re bilingual, please apply to become a blogger at our site!

Please share this post on Twitter and Facebook. This watch-along is fandom’s idea, so we all should be part of it. We’re just helping spread the word.

With the release of Cosmopolis in Mexican theaters, and some other Latin American locations to follow soon after, new interviews with Rob are to be expected from Spanish magazines in the following weeks. As always, I’ll hunt all of these down and translate them for you. Some might be new, others might not, so I’ll try to remember if I posted them before on the blog, and if not, I’ll post them here. The first interview comes from OK magazine in Mexico, not to be confused with the American tabloid, where Rob talks about Cosmopolis, a little bit about Twilight, and waiting tables, including an embarrassing incident that had him banned from a restaurant. Oh, Rob!

Note: Please only take an excerpt from the interview and link back to the rest. Hunting down new interviews, scanning them and translating them takes a lot of time and patience, so we’d really appreciate it if fans read the content on the site that made the research. Thanks for understanding, and enjoy!

When did you learn about Cosmopolis?
I got the script a year before we started production. My agent thought it might interest me because I told him I wanted to see every single good script he read. Collin Farrell got the script at the same time, and I really liked it, but I didn’t take it seriously because I thought I was too young for the part. I was wrapping up the last Twilight movie when someone sent me the script again, with a better offer. I didn’t understand what was happening, so it was a very pleasant surprise.

Did you speak with Cronenberg after that?
I read the script again. I knew there was something about it that was really passionate, but to be honest with you, I didn’t get it. So I was not looking forward to talking to David. I had heard so many things about him that I was very nervous about it. My agent kept pushing me, “You have to take this role,” but it was so terrifying for me to call one of the best directors in the world to discuss a script that I didn’t even understand.

So you didn’t call him?
I spent a week avoiding the call. I tried to think of ways to turn down the role, because it was the most logical thing for me to do. And then I remembered that I actually love all of his movies, and that if I didn’t take this opportunity, I would be a coward. So I called him, but I was very honest. I told him I didn’t get the movie, but that I did want to do it, and he said, “Great! I don’t understand it either.” And it all worked out in the end.

What was the first Cronenberg movie you saw?
I think it was Scanners. I loved it. It was back then when I was obsessed with Jack Nicholson. I bought the DVD because I thought it was Jack, but it was actually Michael Ironside, with whom I became obsessed later as well.

What’s the difference between Cronenberg and the rest?
He’s so confident in himself. He shows up on set and if he can’t find the best way to shoot something, he moves on to something else. The script is long, and he had to adapt 40 pages of dialogue every day. I hadn’t done anything like it since my days in theater.

Is it true that he didn’t want you to stray from the script at all?
Yes, that’s why I liked it so much, because I liked how irregular the script was. It was good not having to improvise.

Most of your scenes were shot in the back of a limo. Was that claustrophobic?
I loved it. At first I was so nervous, so I could just sit back and wait for the actors to come into my space. There was no one else. Just me, my co-star in turn and a camera that was handled remotely by David, who spoke to us through an intercom. These made great actresses like Samantha Morton and Juliette Binoche come in completely nervous, which was great for me, because we were all feeling the same thing.

Did you already know your co-stars?
Only Jay Baruchel and Sarah Gadon. I met Juliette only a couple of minutes before our sex scene. And she was one of my favorite actresses in the world, so it was strange.

You play a very brave role. Your scene with the prostate exam…
I wish I had worked out more for that scene (laughs). The first time I read the scene I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever read, but it was one of the few scenes that had to be edited for the release of the movie. David kept cracking up all the time. I was the butt of the jokes. so I had to give up my pride very quickly.

Do you believe you have the power to command any role you want?
I really don’t think so. I guess I’m in a category in which I can make Twilight fans watch any movie because of me, but I’m not sure if that’s even a guarantee anymore. I’m really lucky I got the chance to do a Cronenberg movie, because I’m trying really hard to not make bad movies. I hope people notice that what I’m trying to do now is interesting films, and I’m not to be trusted with what I’ll pick next. I don’t want a career that is just an illusion. I was afraid that I would never be approached with an interesting project ever again. I was terrified that one day someone would ask me “So what did you do after Twilight anyway?”.

Last year the final Twilight movie came out. Are you relieved that it’s finally over?
The only thing that really bothered me about it is that Edward never changed. So it was hard for me to figure out how to play him with each film. It’s hard playing the same person for a while.

Are you glad that now that you’re a big star you don’t have to think about the little jobs you used to have and think “I’m glad that I don’t have to do it anymore”?
The weird thing is that I never hated those little jobs before I became an actor. I loved being a waiter. I sucked, but I really enjoyed it, even though I was fired from three different places. One time I dropped a bottle of wine on some bald guy’s head, and luckily it didn’t break. After that incident I was banned from working tables, and sent to the back of the restaurant washing dishes with a one-armed Turkish guy. I was not allowed to go into the restaurant anymore.

You told us you love Jack Nicholson. Would you like to have the career of someone else if you could?
You can’t really do everything that another actor has done. Everybody loves DiCaprio and Day-Lewis, but nobody can keep up with them these days. I want to do my own thing, and if some people like it, then great.

What are you up to these days?
I’m going to film Mission: Blacklist. And The Rover is coming out next.

Keep checking back for more new interviews. I’ll make sure to find every single one, as usual. Hopefully we’ll get many more. Twilight might be over, but I’ll still post every single interview from the Spanish media I can find, so you can count on that for years to come .
