If for some reason you feel the need to catch up with the "Twilight" series and you can put up with the crying, screaming, talking back to the screen and the general pandemonium that usually overtakes Twihards whenever they watch one of these movies, you'll be heartened to know you can watch "Twilight," "New Moon" and "Eclipse" on the big screen in November. Woo!

So what happened to the soundtrack budget on the first part of the last installment of the "Twilight" franchise? While the first film rounded up folks like Muse, Perry Farrell, Linkin Park even RPatz himself, and "New Moon" raised the stakes considerably by going Pitchfork heavy with Thom Yorke, Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, St. Vincent and Death Cab For Cutie, 'Breaking Dawn' is considerably underachieving.

And Five We're Worried About/DreadingWith the Toronto International Film Festival now over, the dust is beginning to settle on 2011 and we're moving into the final stage of the fall movie season. Many, if not most, of autumn's Oscar season big hitters have now been revealed, leaving principally commercial fare, and a few prestige-y films that are rushing towards completion. As ever, the benefits of opening your Christmas presents early is a mixed bag; it means that we're able to firmly recommend some big fall films, movies like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," "Shame" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin." It means we can also tell you to be wary of the likes of "W.E." and "Butter."

It's time for another look at that disturbing pop culture, uh, thing, that is "Twilight." A new poster has surfaced for the first part of "Breaking Dawn," highlighting the intimacy between the ages-old, cradle-robbin' vampire and his human prey/wife. Presumably, this is a clip from the honeymoon, before he delivers bed-breaking, violent sex to produce a baby that later excites a horny werewolf. Yeah, this series is fucked in the head.

More Photos From 'Dragon Tattoo,' 'MI4,' 'We Bought A Zoo,' 'The Muppets,' 'Breaking Dawn' & More"The Rum Diary" starring Johnny Depp has been in the can for what feels like two years now, but there's a reason for the delay apparently. ''You can't open it next to some blockbuster thing,'' Depp told EW in their Fall Film Preview issue. ''It's a special little film.'' While we've seen photos of Depp as the writer Paul Kemp who works at a Puerto Rico newspaper in the '50s-set adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's early novel, this is our first look at Amber Heard in the picture. The director is Bruce Robinson of "Withnail & I" fame? Wait, who? Exactly. Robinson hasn't directed a feature since "Jennifer Eight" in 1992, but as he told EW, "Johnny's one of the few stars who can [handpick] who they want to direct a movie." And what's one of Depp's favorite movies? Well, the debauched and depraved "Withnail & I" so there you have it. The picture also stars Aaron Eckhart, Giovanni Ribisi, Richard Jenkins and it hits theaters on October 28.

Bill Condon Shows Off 2 Clips From 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' & 3D Sequence From 'The Three Musketeers' Swoops InA new day today at the o2 center in London, and the second day of the Empire Big Screen event. Fox and Universal kicked things off yesterday, and this morning started with the biggest crowd so far: unsurprisingly, it was for 'Twilight.' The Twi-hards might not have been as vocal as they were at Comic-Con, perhaps because only new addition MyAnna Buring was there from the cast, but there were still plenty of people interested in checking out the first footage from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1."

So you just got married, you're on your honeymoon with your (presumably) virgin bride and you probably just had some crazy, violent vampire sex. How do you keep that woozy mood of new love? You could light candles, put on a Keith Sweat CD, whisper some sweet nothings into your beloved's ear...or you could deliver a breathtaking Anastasia's Mate in a game of chess and hope that keeps the home fires burning.

Plus 4 Other Revelations From Shriek-Filled 'Twilight' Panel In Hall HFans of "The Twilight Saga" waited for days outside Comic-Con International's Hall H to be close to Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and the rest of the actors appearing in the films. But when the 'Breaking Dawn' cast was asked what they were excited enough about to wait that long for, there was a moment of silence before 17-year-old Booboo Stewart (Seth Clearwater) piped in with "The Lord of the Rings." Unlike Tolkien devotees, The 'Twilight' audience isn't typically what people think of when they imagine Comic-Con attendees, but the enormous hall was packed with fans who didn't seem to mind (but promptly left before the rest of the day's panels).
