Twilight is a popular loaner...

According to new statistic's released in the UK Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight Saga' books were borrowed 234,170 times in the last year from Public Libraries in the UK. The report also states that borrowers prefer fiction over non fiction with 50% of all loans attributed to adult fiction titles. 

"Fiona Marriott, principal librarian for adult services at Luton libraries, said: "It doesn't surprise me that library loans are different from book sales; our strength has always been the range of books we can offer. We may struggle to keep up with the request list for the latest Stephenie Meyer, but our backlist is huge in comparison to the average bookshop."

So that leads me to wonder how many of our readers borrowed rather than bought the saga books? If you borrowed the books did that lead you to buy? Comments below- we love to hear from you!

Could Breaking Dawn DVD have a rating greater than PG-13?

Things are about to change for the world of Twilight. The book and film series that were filled with abstinence and restraint are about to make a major turnaround after the wedding in Breaking Dawn. While fans have been satisfied with the PG-13 love scenes thus far, the visuals that Stephenie Meyer has written into Breaking Dawn are causing some to now ask if that’s going to be enough.

First things first. The rating for Breaking Dawn has already been decided by the powers that be. The film will be PG-13. There are a list of wonderful and valid reasons for this. Among them, the fact that a giant chunk of the Twilight fandom are teenagers and it would not make sense to alienate them. This post is not in any way meant to debate the rating of the theatrical version of the film.

Having said that, fans have already started to talk about the DVD. In recent years it has become very common to see movies released on DVD with different ratings than their theatrical counterparts or simply no rating at all. Could an unrated or R-rated version of Breaking Dawn on DVD be the compromise that fans are looking for?
 

There is certainly a market out there for it. When the subject came up on twitter there was a huge response. Not only do people want to see this option, they’re willing to pay for it. There has even been a petition set up for those wanting to see an R-rated DVD version. Summit has become king of the multiple DVD release with New Moon. Could this just be added as another option?

What are your thoughts? Do you want to see an unrated version or a Director’s cut that includes footage that exceeds the limits for a PG-13 rating? If you’re not sure just what they can include in a PG-13 movie, check out this post that Kerry did a while back giving some details. If you do want the more explicit footage, is it for story integrity or just to see more nude and/or semi-nude Robert Pattinson?

I can’t wait to hear all the thoughts on this one. Watch for a follow up post with responses.

Official Tralier for Jackson Rathbone's "Girlfriend"

I am very excited for this movie and cannot wait to see it. I've already watched this several times. Jackson's face at 1:52 is just another example of what a talent his is. If you weren't aware, Jackson's 100 Monkeys bandmate Jerad Anderson is in Girlfriend as well. He's the cutie with the buzz cut getting cozy with Candy. You can follow 100 Monkeys on twitter and there is an account for Girlfriend as well.
