WAY cool New Moon photo!

Check it. Alice. Bella. Jacob. The couch. The "omg Aliceeeee" scene. (Click the picture, yo. It gets bigger. And Chris Weitz is in the big one. Srsly.)

I. Love. It. Is Alice's outfit not PERFECTION??? Exactly how I pictured them ALL. This is one of my absolute favorite scenes in the book. Having Alice show up after all that time was almost as good as finding Edward. Almost.

OK so I'm on vaca and having some internet issues so please FORGIVE me for not blogging more often. And if I miss your comments I promise I will respond when I get back!!

No WAY!

My other sister's Edward

So I've mentioned my sister, Tracey is a Twi-dweeb like me. But I haven't mentioned that my other sister - Jill - is also reading the series. She is almost finished "New Moon" (thank you LORD).. and will be starting Eclipse soon so she can finish all four and attend my "100 Days til New Moon" party next month. So anyway... I was a little worried about her interest... but she calls me tonight, and she's all excited, and she blurts out "I found my Edward!" She then proceeds to tell me to go watch the following video of Adam Lambert from American Idol singing "Mad World" from Tears for Fears. She's like "Look at the coat! Look at the fog! He's totally vampire! He even told Ryan Seacrest he was going for a Twilight look!" (Hell even Randy Jackson's yelling "Twilight" while Simon is talking. ) I noted the Fangirl in her voice. Tremendous. And so ladies and gents, it begins. Yet another person is getting hooked. On MY brand of heroin. It's almost sinister the way I love turning people to the dark side....

So what do you think? Edwardesque?

Jimmy Fallon amuses me.

Check out this video from Jimmy Fallon's show where he does a parody of Rob Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) sparring with each other about their movies. The outtakes at the end are hi-LAR-i-ous. The Bella blowup doll is my favorite. Enjoy.

Fresh NEW MOON dirt!

How is it POSSIBLE that I could have read this entire (friggin awesome) MTV interview with Chris Weitz before I noticed THIS MOVIE STILL IS NEW!!!!! I am soooo FANGIRL right now!!!! The BEACH!! The TRUCK!!!

The release of "New Moon" is still roughly four months away, and if you're impatiently tapping your foot as much as we are, we might have an antidote. HitFix recently sat down with "New Moon" director Chris Weitz and got him to spill on the sequel — from soundtrack songs to the film within a film "Face Punch." Here's a brief synopsis of his remarks (POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD):

-Chris is about two weeks away from sending a director's cut of "New Moon" to the studio. He has to have a final cut of the movie ready by, fittingly enough, the day before Halloween (Oct. 30).
-Chris will debut a few new scenes this month at Comic-Con 2009 in San Diego.

-The CGI shot of the wolf from the trailer that premiered during the MTV Movie Awards has gone through 20-30 iterations since, likely to make it look more realistic.
-New potential candidates for the soundtrack include Thom Yorke and Kings of Leon.
-Chris' favorite scene to film was the sequence at Volturi headquarters.
-About the look of the Volturi's lair Chris said, "The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn't Dracula's castle. I feel like that's been done. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary and everything is blue or green or something like that. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp."
-There will be a proposal scene. I repeat: There will be a proposal scene.
-Though sadly, we won't get to see "Face Punch" the movie within a movie Michael Welch told us about last month. No actual scenes were filmed for it, so movie-goers will only hear the sounds of the faux film.
- Will Chris come back "Breaking Dawn" as fans have been hoping? "I think it's really charming that having not seen 'New Moon' people would be enthusiastic about me wanting to do 'Breaking Dawn,'" he told HitFlix. "That's really -- y'know I think the proof is in the pudding and they should see it before they decide there is anything else they want me to do. But I would hope to earn that kind of rumor. We haven't really spoken with Summit about that."

What do you think about these new "New Moon" details? Do they make you even more excited to see the film come November 20?

When I can speak again, I'll definitely throw a big, ol' YES out there as my final answer.

A-MA-ZING article.

I don't know what impressed me more. Katie Bain's tremendous article on Hollywood.com entitled "15 Things I Learned about Rob Pattinson on the New Moon set", with a complete play-by-play of her day on the New Moon set... Or the fact that she got to spend the day(s?) lurking around the New Moon set. Clearly writing for a large publication - online or off - has its' benefits. Maybe I should quit my day job...

The life of Riley....

Casting Alert. Apparently "Riley" has been cast for Eclipse. The actor's name is Xavier Samuel and he's from Australia. Check out the deets at Risky Business.

I am so fan-girling right now!!!

First, I saw this AMAZING picture and got giddy. Then, I read this tremendous LA Times article from Gina McIntyre and almost fell off my chair. You MUST go - right now - and read the article. It's fanTAStic. And it gives some really great insight into how they're going to insert Edward as a hallucination. It also gives you a great look inside Chris Weitz' mind regarding his adaptation of "New Moon".

GO. FORTH. AND. READ!

Check this out

Great article with video from Amanda over at Twilight Examiner. She's got video of Kellan and Ashley at a TwiTour appearance...(we'll be in Parsippany in August!) and a very cool and artsy video interview with Taylor Lautner.

Inhale. I'm having a Twi-moment.

So last week my sister suggested I submit my blog to Stepheniemeyer.com. I am all kinds of shy about it - probably because my Catholic upbringing pretty much drilled it into my head that everything I do basically sucks. But I digress. So anyway... I found some guts - and emailed Seth, Stephenie's brother and webmaster. And when I didn't get a response I figured they're closed to new links... or they think my blog is silly... etc, etc. Today, however, I happened upon stepheniemeyer.com via a google search for something Twilated... when what to my wandering eyes did appear but MY BLOG LINK - on Stephenie's website. So because of that I say THANK YOU, SETH!! and THANK YOU, STEPHENIE!! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that my lil-ol blog link is on your fan sites page!!

TAKE A LOOK BELOW EVERYONE! My link is in green! PS - yes - you can see from my screen capture that I actually had to google how to do a screen capture. LOL

WAY cool New Moon footage

OK this is the most bloggable thing to come down the pike in a while. Check out this footage of Kstew and Ashley Greene filming the scene where Bella jumps out of the Porsche and starts running through Volterra. Very, very cool. I don't really get why she stops outside the car and yells "Where?" though. Wouldn't all those details have been worked out while driving through the streets? Whatev. I'm thrilled to see this. Makes me stoked for my "100 Days til New Moon" party in August and even MORE stoked for November 20th! Woot!

Why INDONESIA?!

Why do we have to wait for stuff like this...while Indonesians don't???
*Thanks Twifans!

Help me November 20th... you're my only hope!

Thank you TwilightMoms! Bok Bok!

Hi Edward.

Have you ever put Edward in your window when you were having a barbecue, just to freak out your friends? Cuz I have...

Funny shot

Love it. Ganked it from Laurens Bite. Her blog is my fav. Check it out because she went to Forks recently with her hub, Tedward, and has some key shots. Even the mushroom ravs in Port Angeles. As for RPattz - I have no comment for this photo, I just loved it and felt compelled to post it. (Forget the hands; I am captivated by the teeth.) At any rate, I'd love to hear your thoughts on possible captions...

Breaking Dawn and Dirty

Apparently Summit is confirming they are going to keep Breaking Dawn exactly how it is - a novel filled with grown-up stuff - when they film (this winter?) Which is a good thing because I NEED to see Robert Pattinson with feathers on his head. NEED IT! At any rate, you can take my word for it, or watch this ridiculously annoying video from Ted Casablanca, filled with absolutely NOTHING but a bit too much innuendo and includes more nothingness about Michael Jackson, Anna Farris and Tyra Banks. Yawn. And Ted's rendition of Mr. Rogers changing his clothes and putting on new shoes is old. Been there, seen that. Although I somehow don't remember Mr. Rogers actually coming out of the closet, do you?

Stephenie's still on top!

The USA Today Best Selling Books list came out for the 2nd quarter and - oh gee - look who is STILL ON TOP. (I love this so much because it allows me to get very brazen with the book snobs I know who refuse to read Twilight because their book snob friends won't allow it - while drinking their half caf - half splenda - half chi - half cap - grande espresso at whatever snobby book store they will allow themselves to frequent.) Gee. Stephenie Meyer is. With her four Twilight series books. DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING! (Sarcasm rules, does it not?)

This also reminds me to share with y0u the amusing thing that happened to me at Costco today. While perusing the book section (snort - the "book section" at Costco - see the above coffee comment for why that's funny), I saw a woman standing in front of the Twilight books. She thought quietly to herself for a moment - and then tried to appear as if she were taking a nonchalant look around - before diving headfirst into Breaking Dawn. Truly it happened so fast I thought she might break a nail. Upon realizing she was reading well into the 2nd half, I felt compelled to come to her rescue and make sure didn't read any further if she a) hadn't read the series and b) was planning on reading the series. So I said "Have you read them?" extremely quietly, as many of us over-rabid Twilighters do while we're accosting a possible new follower in public. Naturally, though, she had read them. And I was thrilled to meet yet another TwiBud in the universe. Her exact words were "Yes - I've read them all!" She then scanned the crowd before admitting, "Twice". We had a good giggle before she leaned in even closer and said "if you go to the author's website you'll see (snort - "the author" - as if I haven't been using Stephenie Meyer's name for months as if we grew up next door to each other) at which point I shot her secret offering down from sheer excitement and exclaimed "MIDNIGHT SUN!" At that point we both had the "sigh, she HAS to finish it!" conversation. And - might I say it was her lucky day as she had no idea about the 4 page blurb in the New Moon extras section....where Edward talks about being in that horrible attic in South America and gets the call from Rosalie. I guarantee you she read it upon reentering her dwelling and has alerted all her Twifriends by now.

Ahhh yes. Another day...another Twilight education of strangers. It's great to pass-on the Edward love. *Thanks to USA TODAY for the photo.

A possible Edward for Tracey?

Christian Bale? Like it! On screen, of course. He's one guy I definitely wouldn't want to piss off on the job!

We interrupt this Twilight blog...

While perusing some of my usual Twilight sites, I came across a blurb about Diane Sawyer being on the "Remember Me" set to meet with Rob Pattinson. Apparently she brought her daughter to meet him, too. I guess those of us with homemakers for mothers are just SOL. But I digress. Anyway - while perusing the site, what did appear to my wandering eyes but a photo of a man who is as much my senior as RPattz is my junior. And I was momentarily verklempt - because he is just as much the hottie - if not moreso - than Rob Pattinson, himself. Ladies and Gentle... wait...OK - Ladies, I give you, one of the hottest man on the planet; Pierce Brosnan. Feast thine eyes. *Thanks to gossipcenter.com for the photo.

FEAST your eyes

Check out this graphic I just found on Amanda Bell's Twilight Examiner. (She's good, by the way, you should check her posts out. She actually discusses the books. You know how I love that.) I don't know where it came from - probably one of those sites where people manipulate the graphics. Edward has been flipped and given a white tshirt. Whatev. I was absolutely blown away by this. I am still a bit verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. The NOVEMBER 20th showdown CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH!!! Discuss!
