I received a very cool email today from Van Jensen who has written a new vampire graphic novel called Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer. It's coming out in September and the main graphic is in our favorite Twi-colors. (Sounds like my decor for my "100 Days til New Moon" party. ooh another gratuitous mention!) Sooo...for all of you who dig graphic novels about vampires, you'll definitely want to check this out!

Vampires. They're not just for breakfast anymore!
I received a very cool email today from Van Jensen who has written a new vampire graphic novel called Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer. It's coming out in September and the main graphic is in our favorite Twi-colors. (Sounds like my decor for my "100 Days til New Moon" party. ooh another gratuitous mention!)

My Eclipse playlist needs some explanation
So I know I only have 3 songs. But I couldn't wait. I had to post it. I'm impatient like that. All the actors are headed to - or in - Vancouver. And I am a giddy little girl.
OK so I just finished telling Jenn M via email that I am loving Ray LaMontagne right now. And it's no coincidence that his style makes me think of RPattz' musical style. When I was on vacation, I was trying to get my internet connection to work, and OK maybe saying a bad word or two under my breath. When all the sudden I heard a song on a commercial on TV and whipped my head around to stare. I swear I thought I was hearing Rob Pattinson. But I wasn't; I was hearing Ray LaMontagne. And that's when I started researching his music and realizing "Holy CRAP this guy is good." Since I'm only happy when it rains (Thank you Shirley Manson and Garbage) I absolutely love the pain that comes through in his music. OK so I'll shut up because some of you are saying "What in god's name does this have to do with Twilight?!" But I LOVE his song "Burn" and put it on my Eclipse soundtrack from Edward's perspective, while Bella's trotting around La Push with Jacob. And kissing him in the forest. Don't get me started. But check out the lyrics:
To see you now with him
is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that you can
an I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Mother of god. It's like Edward just jumps out of the page and cries on your shoulder when you're listening to this. Le sigh. I think I need to read the saga all the damn hell over again now. Not even Sookie can save me! ;)

A little something about My Eclipse Playlist
Yes, I do mean to have both versions of "Ain't No Sunshine". One for Edward when Bella is at the bonfire with Jacob. And one for Bella when Edward's hunting and she's laying in the dark in his room on his couch. I get chills just thinking about this. And as much as I love the Bill Withers version, how about a ROB PATTINSON version?!?
That would be... awesome. (said like Jim Carrey)

Fabu New Moon Trailer
Feast thine eyes on this New Moon trailer from "Sanyiaa" on Youtube. Better than the real one!
Major delving...
I swear I don't know if I'll make it through this movie unscathed.
1st, read this article. Then go and read the last paragraph in my blog post from April.
Then come to my house bearing tissues and slap me across the face and yell "SNAP OUT OF IT!!!"

It's ON!!!
OK this photo and story from newmoonmovie.org about Kristen Stewart getting prepped (physical, wig-fitting) to head to Vancouver for Eclipse filming made me SQUEEEEE like the silly fanchick I am (fangirl is a little too kind considering my age). And look at her! She's smiling! SMILING! .... KSTEW! No more Joan-tude! No more dark clothes! It's a brand new day.

Hardwicke vs Weitz; Who got it right?
Thanks to A. Luper and newmoonmovie.org, we have this cool new comparison of the Twilight vs New Moon visuals. (You MUST click the link to see it larger. You'll thank me in the morning.) The photos on the left are from Twilight and the photos on the right are from New Moon. What do you think? Who got it right? Not "Which photo looks better?" but "Who got it RIGHT?" Here's what I think:
Victoria: Twilight - she looks too 5th Ave in the New Moon shot.
Esme: New Moon - she looks too Gidget in the Twilight shot.
Laurent: New Moon - he doesn't look sinister enough in Twilight - just, aggro. And his coloring is way better in the New Moon shot.
Bella: Twilight - she looks too Kristen Stewart in the New Moon shot.
Edward: NEW MOON!! Clap hands! Squeee! Luvs it luvs it luvs it!! He looks very high brow like Edward Cullen SHOULD look. We all know how I feel about his ridiculous "scary" look in Twilight. As if a Volvo and two medical degrees could be scary. Snicker.
Jacob: New Moon. Two different looks for two different faces of his character, so it was close.
Alice: I like each for each. She looks a little wifty for her intro of "was in a psyche ward" in Twilight.... and she looks perfect for her "lover of all things Prada" persona in New Moon.
Rosalie: Neither. First - Nikki Reed is gorgeous as a brunette in "real life". I've always maintained I like her moxie - and her portrayal of Rosalie. But she's not blonde and she's wigrific in New Moon. I've just never been able to embrace her as the character no matter how hard they try to make her look the part. I agree whole-heartedly with whomever said she would have made a great Victoria.
Jasper: Yikes. The photos are both bad. Jackson Rathbone has a truly beautiful face (see that episode of Criminal Minds for confirmation). Neither photo does him justice.
Emmett: New Moon - he looks more menacing and vampirific. The Twilight shot looks like his yearbook football photo.
Carlisle: New Moon. HOT HOT HOT. Much less Ward Cleaver, which is what the Twilight shot looks like.
My thanks to M'GIRL Jenn M. for bringing this to my attention. This was one of the most fun blog posts I've ever worked on. :)

The Edward Strikes Back?
OK this is a little strange. NewMoonMovie.org is reporting that there is a total rumor about Breaking Dawn being made into a three part trilogy. I have read previously that Stephenie Meyer even said she thought it should be made into multiple films. But three? That's an interesting concept to ponder. Again - total rumor - I am so not "reporting" anything here.Here's a quote I am not overly thrilled with:
There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the novel due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating.
I don't like the word "tweaking" in this case. No way. The book is the book. The story is the story. Trying to avoid an R rating is something I find really upsetting. Ya know, as a more mature Twilight fan, I have had to endure a different Volvo... dark clothes on Edward... an attempt at "Dark and Scary Edward" ("AS IF I WOULD NEED ANY OF THATTTT")... and lots of strange fashions from Bella (girls, leave your converse at home while attending the prom) - all so they can pander to the teen market. Clearly they weren't expecting the onslaught of 30 and 40-somethings who love these books. And now they've made a weird one-dimensional, shooting practice-esque Edward for New Moon... so the teens can get their fill of Robert Pattinson....even though Bella only heard Edward's (velvet) voice in the book. (Which is an insult to teens, btw, I think they can handle only hearing Edward's voice. The whole point of him being gone is that. HE'S GONE. It makes the reunion so much better because you haven't SEEN Edward in so long). OK, whatev - I'll deal. But come on. Changing anything about Breaking Dawn so they can get a younger rating? That doesn't sit well with me. That birth scene is intense! It's raw! It's full of emotion! How do you tweak it for a less-mature audience?! Ugh. OK I'll shut up now because a) it's a rumor and b) I'll give myself agida.
*Thanks to newmoonmovie.org for the info and the WAY COOL photo.
Ready for your Close-up?
I would be lying my rear end off if I didn't admit that I LOVE this cool new Twilight Makeup line that I just read about on Amanda Bell's Twilight Examiner. There are two kinds to choose from, Luna Twilight and Volturi Twilight. A slightly giddy giggle escaped from my mouth when I saw the Volturi logo. Squee! I must own this stuff! (Fangirl, party of 1? The beach! The truck!)

TwiCon Video
Check out these TwiCon videos on twilightmoms.com. Very cute. Especially Peter Facinelli. They'll make you want to talk to him on the phone until one of your parents comes in and makes you hang up.

Great RPattz Photos - A Purgatory EXCLUSIVE!
My sister's friend (who is in the media) snapped these after the MTV awards last month. I love the one with his hands on his neck. You know he's freaked out by all the fans. Well Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?

He said / She said
This Rachelle Lefevre thing is really heating up. Apparently there are now lawyers involved. Yesterday, Rachelle issued a statement that she was well within her contract when she signed on to do an indie flick during the filming of Eclipse - which would have taken 10 days to film. Summit issued a statement saying that was BS and they weren't informed about her other engagement until well into July. Hmmm.... Either way - I like her a lot and it kindof sucks she won't be in Eclipse. They ousted her - plain and simple. And she has really earned the right to be in this film after a stellar performance in Twilight - and all the promoting she's done over the past two years. BUT - flip side - I'm thinking she shouldn't have issued that statement. As much as she's trying to let the world (and the Twilight community, of which I am a proud, Edward Cullen-loving member) know what really went down, I fear she's going to get a bad rap with the Hollywood community for dissing Daddy. Just my .02.*Thanks to aceshowbiz.com for the photo.
Direct quote from Nikki Reed
"Rob is sort of feminine looking and I think young girls like boys that look like women," she said.
OUCH!!!! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Dear Rob, SHUT UP! Love, Carol
Ugh this is bad. Robert Pattinson needs to SHUT IT!!! When are these actors' PR people going to friggin SCHOOL THEM on acting appropriately with the media??? Let's review. Stephenie Meyer has had the top 4 spots on the sales charts for the past 6 months with the 4 Twilight saga books. Why? I'll tell you why. Because the world LOVES EDWARD CULLEN. And the one person in this world we look to for a VISUAL of Edward Cullen is Rob Pattinson. And what does he do? He TRASHES Edward Cullen. Stupid stupid stupid.
Can anyone tell me why both Kristen Stewart AND Robert Pattinson insist on offending Twilight fans? Please? PRETTY PLEASE? Cuz I sure can't figure it out.

BETTER New Moon Italy scene
Wow I know I posted this already but this is WAY better video quality. You can see Edward the second he appears and the expression on his face. McSIGH. You truly must watch again (and again and again and again and....)
Bye Bye Rachelle Lefevre??? Hello BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD as Victoria in Eclipse?!
HOLY ^%$#!!!! I don't even know how to feel about this! I will miss Rachelle because I thought she was Awe-some with a capital A. But I really like Bryce Dallas Howard. I canNOT help but wonder if this was a force-out. Bryce Dallas has those eerie eyes. I wonder if the studio thought she'd have more of an impact? Wow. I wonder if they would do that for any of the other actors. (Oh hush. We've ranked on the girl enough this week. ;)
From the Summit website (which could use some major work IMO):
Actress Rachelle Lefevre Will Be Replaced By Howard In The Role Of Victoria
Los Angeles, CA July 28, 2009 — Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard will take over the role of "Victoria" in the studio's upcoming production of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. Actress, Rachelle Lefevre, who portrayed the character in TWILIGHT as well as the upcoming release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, will not continue in the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment the actor has made. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE will start filming in Vancouver this coming August.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, the third film in the studio's TWILIGHT film franchise based on Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster book series, will be directed by David Slade from a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg. The film will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.
"We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise," said Erik Feig, Summit's President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions. "Rachelle brought "Victoria" to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role."
Howard most recently starred in TERMINATOR SALVATION as Kate Connor and has been seen in SPIDER-MAN 3, LADY IN THE WATER, and THE VILLAGE. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her leading performance as an actress in the HBO film AS YOU LIKE IT.

And so it begins...
So I was just joking with Maggie - my way cool, Twilight-digging neighbor, friend and babysitter extraordinaire - about having to start planning my "Eclipse" party after the "100 Days til New Moon" party is over. (Run on sentence, party of 1?) And afterward I got online and discovered the yummy new Eclipse page on newmoonmovie.org. And I got a little giddy. I swear - it's pathetic. New Moon still has 114 days to come out and already I'm movin' on to Eclipse. I suppose it's a new beginning of sorts. A new movie where maybe things will be different. Like Jacob will be more brooding. Edward will be less pissy. And Bella might actually smile. (Nah. Doubt it on that last one.)
