The Real Vampires of New Jersey

Check out this NJ.com article about real vampires. In New Jersey. Yeah. Somehow, I don't think Edward would hang with this crew. Something tells me they wouldn't appreciate his oxford shirts, khaki pants and the Aston Martin parked in his driveway. Especially when Jacob is driving it.

More Deep (Twilight) Thoughts

You know what will really piss me off? If these naysayer book snobs who are too good for Twilight actually go and see the films - and then dare to judge the story based on what they see. It doesn't matter how well done any of the films are, you have to read the books. Am I wrong?! I think not.

OK so... you know...I seek out new interviews with Stephenie Meyer because I love hearing anything she has to say about writing the books - and hearing her opinions on the characters. My point? I should know the answer to the following questions: Did Stephenie Meyer know the whole story, through the end of Breaking Dawn, while she was writing book 2? Did she know that Jacob was going to imprint on Renesmee in Book 4 when she wrote about Quill imprinting on Claire in Book 2? Was that foreshadowing? Was that done so we'd swallow the jagged little pill of an adult imprinting on a child... and wouldn't freak out when she did it in Book 4?

And here's a quick little diddy I am curious about: Is anyone going to watch Rob Pattinson's "The Haunted Airman" which Netflix is kindly shipping to me as I type? Have those of you in the UK already seen this ages ago? If so, you are most likely laughing at me and my sad little American excitement over the video just becoming available here. LOL It's cool. I'd laugh at me, too.

That's all. For now. But it's a rainy day and I have a lot of driving around to do. And I listen to the (Sirius) radio a lot in my car... and that's when I think up all my TwiQuestions. So beware - there may be more....

Deep (Twilight) Thoughts

Was just driving home from my Yoga class... (Namaste)... and had random Twithoughts running around in my brain and had to share.

1 - Did Edward ever truly hear Bella say she was doing reckless things so she could hallucinate him? I don't think so. I think she skimmed it briefly when they got back from Italy because she didn't want to make him feel bad. The only thing he heard was Alice say she had taken up extreme sports. Am I right on this?

2 - In New Moon, the film - do you think they'll show Edward getting the call from Rosalie in South America? I realize that's just a 4 page blurb on Stephenie Meyer's site, but it's SICKENINGLY juicy and delicious, is it not?! Or do you think we'll just see Alice tell Bella she sees Edward in Italy trying to off himself?

3 - I have been hearing a lot of Morrissey and The Smiths lately and I can't help but think that Morrissey is the voice of Edward Cullen. So many of his/their songs are so pained and intense. I have heard "How Soon is Now" twice in the past two days and I would absolutely put that on my New Moon Playlist, except for the fact that the refrain is "I am HUMAN and I need to be loved". Yeah. It just doesn't work now, does it? Too bad it's not "I am VAMPIRE and I need to be loved just like anybody else does." Now that - my friends - would rule.

Twilight - Vampire Diaries = WOLF LAKE!!!

I have just had a freakin EPIPHANY!!! Let me back up a little and tell you that  I am a fan of the supernatural. I love "Twilight". I love "True Blood". I love "Vampire Diaries". And yes, it's true... I have never missed an episode of "Supernatural" (Hello? Sam and Dean, ghosts and demons, classic rock and that badass car? Are you KIDDING me? It's like television NIRVANA every Thursday!) And when I was a kid, I was hooked on "Kolchak the Night Stalker". When I was a little kid I was hooked on "Scooby Doo". (OK it's a stretch, but work with me here, will ya?!)

When I was posting about Paul Wesley earlier (lead hottie vampire from The Vampire Diaries who was born New Brunswick and raised in Marlboro for all you Central New Jerseyans.) I was completely unaware that he starred in a show I ABSO-friggin-LUTELY LOVED back in 2001 called "Wolf Lake" about - you guessed it - werewolves.  It only ran for one season and was canceled. Never really found out why because it was AWE-some. I remember signing a petition online for it to come back, but my signature was in vain. Because - let's face it - Hollywood suits don't care about anything that doesn't have many dollar signs attached to it seconds after it premieres.

Wolf Lake had a lot of big names in it... like Lou Diamond Phillips... Tim Matheson... Sharon Lawrence and Graham Greene (the quintessential Native American actor who is in everything INCLUDING New Moon as Harry Clearwater. As my sister likes to say "When Hollywood needs a Native American actor, they yell 'Get me Graham Greene on the phone'!")

OK I'll shut up now but I just had to point that out because all of these vampires and werewolves seem to be crossing paths lately. Here's a little clip of Paul Wesley playing a werewolf instead of a vampire. Enjoy!

New Moon Soundtrack release date pushed up to October 16th

The New Moon soundtrack will be out on October 16th instead of October 20th. Pretty cool. Not sure if I'm going to listen to it though. That may have to wait until November 20th, too. I didn't listen to the Twilight soundtrack before the movie and it was all new. NEW is the word these days, people. NEW!

Kristen Stewart in Allure

Good article from MTV about the new Allure interview (coming out October 20th) with Kristen Stewart. Check out the article and then read my comments below. I'm interested in your opinion. Why try so hard NOT to be "that girl"?

Here's the thing. She IS pretty. She IS talented. So why the "dirty hair"? What's the statement? Sure, everyone goes out in public when they need a shower once in a while. And most of us are lucky enough to do it without cameras in our face. But it seems like it's all the time these days with Kristen. And no, I don't remember her looking like that before Twilight came out... or before making The Runaways movie... or before spending all of her time with Rob P. Again - not trying to bash her, she's worked hard to get where she is. Just wondering why the need to be "that other girl" who doesn't wash her hair or appear to give a damn? She's an actor. PR comes with the territory. PS - I'll always give her props for cutting her hair to look like Joan Jett. A lot of actors would have been too vain. *Thanks to popsugar.com for the photo.

Twilight Cast High School Photos

I had to post. Look at Taylor Lautner. Adorable!

Blood vial necklace; cool or loser-esque?

Um, when did Edward wear a blood vial necklace? I'm thinking never. At any rate, they used RPattz's image to lure me into buying one today at Great Adventure. I came very close - but decided against it. What do y'all think? Would you laugh if I wore one of these? Or would you think it was cool?

First still from Eclipse!

Stomach... butterflies... Edward... exhale... Oh my god. OH MY GOD. First still from Eclipse. I looked. I HAD TO LOOK. And just look at it. It's beauuuuuutiful. A slight bit of commentary. Good: Edward's shirt color. A nice, bright blue. Something Edward Cullen would wear. Lovely. Odd but hot: Edward's layered shirt-under-T-shirt - much like all the surf dudes wear here at the NJ shore. I really dig it, but Edward would so never have worn that. Whatev. Bygones. Moving on to not-so-great: Bella's plaid. I-am-sick-to-death of them putting that poor girl in plaid 24/7. Being "not girly" does not mean wearing constant flannel. Again - whatev. Just look at the closeness. Oh my GOD I can't wait for Eclipse now either. OK done. *Thanks to ROBsessed for the photo.

Great interview with Robert Pattinson

I enjoyed this interview with RPattz from Australia's "The Sunday Morning Herald". It's was done in Cannes in the spring... and is filled with his usual endearing, self-deprecating humor.  I cannot believe that at this juncture of his life he is STILL slumming hotel hallways looking to bum a cig. That is classic. I could soooo get drunk with this guy. *Thanks to shockya.com for the photo.

39 Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all. Nothing further. Just had to mention it. Loudly. With enthusiasm. Like the pathetic FanCougar I am.

No more New Moon stills! Please!

Am I the only one avoiding the latest New Moon stills like the plague?! I can't stand it anymore. It's everywhere. I remember the day the Edward-with-his-shirt-off-in-Italy shots came out; I didn't know what to do. I called Beth and said "I want to look. But I don't want to look. But I have to look. But I can't look. What do I do?!" to which she replied "Oh for the love of god JUST LOOK!!!" Then I talked to Shannon and Jenn M - on a conference call (snicker) - and we looked. And looked. Oh holy CRAP, did we look. And as much as I was upset that the Italy scene with Bella and Edward reuniting wouldn't be a visual surprise, I was still glad I looked. Lord have MERCY was I glad I looked.

But now I am to the point where I just have to save something for the film. Hell, I am even starting to avoid Eclipse set shots!

What about you? Are you looking?!

I <3 Twihearts

Totes embarrassing fact of the day: Have you ever bought Twilight Heart boxes #1 and #3 in Claire's when you were there with your 2nd grader... just because you already had box # 2 and now you'd have the whole set?  Cuz I have.

Meet Me on the Equinox video

I cannot breathe. I just watched the very beginning of this "Meet Me on the Equinox" video from Death Cab for Cutie - until Edward walks out of the woods in that STUNNING coat. And I forgot to breathe for a moment. And without taking a breath, I turned it off.

I don't know about you - but I have NOT looked at any of the new photos from the New Moon Illustrated Companion.

And I will not watch this.

As much as it is KILLING me. My god....he looked absolutely beautiful. But I've seen enough. I don't want to see anything else until I see the movie. I almost want to shut down my computer for 42 days and not look at another picture or video until November 20th. Holy shit, People. I am acting like NuttyMadam in one of her fangirl reaction videos ("The beach! The truck!") But I can't...help...it. That vision...holy crap...it was perfection. Edward Cullen hallucinatory perfection.

Kudos to Robert Pattinson. When it comes to Edward Cullen, the man can BRING IT.

Know what's funny?

Y'all know I'm not big on posting the totally stalkerific paparazzi shots of the Twilight actors engaging in ho-hum tasks. (Not that I don't do it. I just try not to make a habit of it.) It's so stupid and invasive... they can't let one rip without someone printing something about it.

So I found it so funny last week when this photo started circulating. And circulating. And circulating.  I can't stand it anymore; I have to comment. These websites (some of them wonderful sites - don't get me wrong) post a headline like "KStew and RPattz spotting having dinner together in Vancouver!" Now aren't you picturing Kristen and Rob at a beautiful, candle-lit dinner... sitting at a private table in the corner....all dressed up (I snicker at the mere thought).... "sipping cabernet and munching on foie gras" (as In Style magazine loves to say).

And instead we get this. They're leaving some casual spot - with an assistant or manager. That's it. No mystery. No intrigue. No spectacular restaurant only the beautiful people can get into. Hell, RPattz is in a baseball hat. And he's opening the door for god's sake.  Hell - even FRIDAYS will open the door for you!

OK that's all. Just had to make mention. It's no fun laughing about these things all alone. I have to bring you all into my sick mind to share the fun!

More Michael Sheen goodness...

Check out this little blurb from Michael Sheen's interview in Parade:

Speaking of blood, taking on Aro in New Moon.

"There's so much expectation about the sequel. People who are hooked on the stories have very definite ideas about the character from the second book. So it's a dilemma. You want to give them what they expect, what they want to see, but you also want to surprise them. My biggest concern has been that everyone would remember that I played a werewolf in Underworld. So it would be a stretch for me to become a vampire. But I just love Aro. I think he has a gentle side even though he's pretty scary. And I'm just very pleased to have a whole new generation of people I can scare."

His daughter got a literal kick out of the news.

"I was excited about being in New Moon mainly because I thought it would make my daughter Lily very happy since she loved the books and the first movie. But, she was a bit overwhelmed. It was like when I was kid--if there was something I was really into, the last thing I wanted was my mom and dad to be into it as well. So, at first, Lily got upset and sort of cried when I told her. I think it was just like her fantasy imaginative world suddenly colliding with reality. She did punish me a bit. When she kicked me, I think that was sort of acting out her frustration."

I totally agree. I found Aro to be so totally not scary - and yet I was terrified of him. It was so peculiar. I kept waiting for the ball to drop with him - but he gave Edward the big, ol' pardon in New Moon...and he did the right thing and let the Cullens go in Breaking Dawn. I am looking forward to seeing Chris Weitz' vision in New Moon, because the trailers have made it obvious we're going to get to see Aro's nasty side in the movie. To which I say: BRING IT ON!

Cool Vampire video from PopSugarRush

Check out this vampire video from PopSugarRush. Thanks to eclipsemovie.org for the find!

Michael Sheen on Craig Ferguson

This is ESPECIALLY for Tracey R. Holy COW is she going to flip when she sees this. It's Michael Sheen (Aro - New Moon - where he'll be sans white hair and papery skin. Don't get me started) on Craig Ferguson last night...in SKINNY PANTS and a few days worth of beard on his cutie pie face. Wow Trace, he might have actually surpassed Tony Blair! (Tracey and I have a thing for slightly nerdy Brits.)  *Thanks to Twilight Moms for the heads up!

Rob or Robsessed?

This EW PopWatch article is GREAT. Thanks to Tracey for sending it to me. I totally agree with this Mandi Bierly on this. I'd much rather watch a documentary on RPattz' nutjob fans than RPattz, himself. (Wait - scratch that - I'm not sure I'd want to watch that, either. Hell, I might be in it.) But I LOVE this comment about Alexander Skarsgard (Eric - aka the minty fresh Sheriff of Area Five from True Blood):

"any time I see a link on Twitter to a fan’s story of meeting True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard in Shreveport, where he’s filming Straw Dogs, I click on it. Yes, I’m curious as to whether the shirt he’ll be wearing in the accompanying picture is sleeveless or sheer (either is acceptable), but I’m even more eager to know what lie the fan told to an employee or family member to hide the real reason for her trip; how she determined the best time and location for a possible sighting; why she chose a particular outfit or opening line; who she dragged along with her and what directives that person was given. It’s like watching a TV show with great sexual tension — all about the build up."

Jenn M, Shannon, Tracey and Jenn D and I have been discussing "Eric's" mesh shirt ALL WEEK! This just CRACKED me up!!

How many times have YOU read Twilight?

Srsly. Please comment on this. I MUST know. I have read each book twice and will be starting again soon. (Right after I read "Outlander" which my sister Tracey has been talking about longingly for 24 straight hours.)

How many times have YOU read Twilight?!
