Um, yeah. Have you ever seen this 6+ minute trailer for New Moon? It's all three trailers merged together in sequence. I've heard about it but haven't really bothered with it until tonight. Holy crap. No, I didn't mean that. What I meant was, HOLY CRAP!!! I have tears streaming down my face. (And hello, why don't I remember the post-Italy bedroom scene in the trailer?!) HOW many times have I seen these?! But to see it all together...Wow. HOW am I going to get through 2 hours without being a complete blithering idiot?! And I never realized it before, but I don't really feel bad for Bella apart from the nightmare scene. I don't cry for Bella; I cry for Edward. In the breakup scene, when she's sprawled out on the forest floor getting god knows WHAT in her hair, do you know why I'm crying? Because I know it's killing Edward to leave her. And when she's running through the sea of red in Volterra, trying to get to him, do you know who my heart is bleeding for? Edward. Because he's upset. The books just come flooding back to you when you see this, which is good, because lately I've been feeling a little disconnected to the series since it's been so long since I've read it. le sigh. Watch this. Now. And PS - Liz, I SO CAUGHT YOU reading Eclipse in your car today! That is so great. I'm so jealous that you still have two full books to devour. ENJOY!!!

Be warned, I'm about to get serious on you.
I hope and pray that Ms. MS gets her transplant and lives to a ripe, old age. She is inspirational in her fight - and even in her love of Twilight. Getting a message to Rob. P....going to see Peter F.... All while in a wheelchair and on constant oxygen. Hell, I was too embarrased to wear my "Bite Me" shirt today because I figured it would be overkill between my Converse, Raybans and "Be Safe" bumper sticker on my car. I might be "found out" in the parking lot at school. God forbid, right? MEH. It's all a bunch of nonsense compared to what this courageous woman is going through.
I'll get off my soap box now. Carpe Diem.
Squeeee!
'Twilight: New Moon's Robert Pattinson chooses dark 'Bel Ami' over 'Dune'
Robert Pattinson won't be tasting the spice anytime soon.
Despite reports that the star of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" would be headlining Peter Berg's upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert's famous sci-fi novel, sources tell Gossip Cop those rumors are untrue.
What is true is that Pattinson is set to star in a version of Guy de Maupassant's 1885 novel "Bel Ami." He'll play amoral journalist Georges Duroy, who uses his harem of mistresses to move up the social and professional ladders.
Pattinson is currently filming "The Twilight Sequel: Eclipse." His non-vampire romantic drama "Remember Me" will be in theaters in time for Valentine's Day 2010.

Where's Carlisle?
But again, she looks great, so we'll overlook the supermodel hair. Again - moving right along... Has anyone noticed that Carlisle is teeny-tiny and in the background? What's with that?! He's like Waldo! Doesn't seem right for a guy with one MILLION followers on Twitter. He should be like, 3rd in line, after Bella. OK - maybe 4th, behind Alice, since M'GIRL has a much larger role this time around. And speaking of Alice - she looks great - as do Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. So "Yey!" for them, because they definitely seem to have won this round of TwiPoster Goodness. Unlike poor Esme who is stuck on the back of the bus with Carlisle. Maybe they kept her in the back just in case she had to run off set to the bathroom. You never know.
V is for Volturi!
Ooooh my sister, Tracey is going to loveeee this. Mmmmm hmmmm. Why, you ask? Well let me tell you. Because Tracey loves herself some Michael Sheen. How a guy who mastered Tony Blair in "The Queen" is going to master Aro is almost beyond me. But I think he's fantastic, so I don't have any doubts.
Here's a question for ya:
Do you care that Aro won't have white hair and papery skin? Discuss!

Now wouldya just LOOK at alllllll the pretty. It's beyond comprehension. And is that poor Quill back there? We haven't seen much of him on the interwebs. Nobody puts Quill in the corner!

I heart Melissa Rosenberg
I got a little nervous when I saw rumors online with "Diablo Cody" and "Breaking Dawn" being used in the same sentences. NOT that I didn't LOVE Juno. Cuz I did, homeskillet. But I don't want anyone to mess with the franchise that is the Twilight saga. Just bring Melissa back and we'll all be happy, I'm sure. She's already written the first three. Why change now? That could be disastrous and very, very weird. At any rate, just read this great article from MTV that says Melissa has signed on for Breaking Dawn. (exhales) And this was my comment, which I HAD to share with you. I just had a revelation to beat the band. I think it could work:
What do y'all think? (C'mon - let's hear from everyone! I love comments from lurkers and new readers!)

Twiscussions on Video
Check out the girls from "Hollywood Crush" chit chatting about some Twistuff. I wasn't going to post this until I got to the end and realized that in a ridiculous, self-absorbed way, I am the common denominator of all their stories! Allow me to elaborate. (And check out the video below or it looks like I'm just doing a butt-load of celebrity name-dropping.)
Taylor Swift grew up in Wyomissing, PA, about an hour away from where I grew up in Paoli, PA. Dave Boreanaz went to Malvern Prep, which was 10 minutes from my house. I used to see him at my high school's football games and yes, I drooled over him back then when he had the big boy haircut and sported Patagonia jackets. But it was because his dad ("Dave Roberts") was/is the weather man on Action News and I thought that was kewl.
Lastly, I SO want to make a video like this. Jenn M., Shannon and Tracey, have I not been saying we should do this for months? It's bad enough I didn't get any of my New Moon trailer reactions on camera, but now I'm missing out on the Twiscussion vids, too! We must REMEDY THIS, Ladies!

Welcome to the EMASCULATION of Edward Cullen.
I don't even know where to start. I am so fired up about this car NONSENSE that I just posted nothing, by accident, and had to go back and erase my post-fulla-nothing before posting this.
Do you see this? THIS is a Volvo S60R. THIS is what Edward Cullen drove in Twilight. And New Moon. Oh and Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Yeah. That's right. ALL of the books. Check it out yourself on Stephenie Meyer's "Cullen Cars" section of her website.
Do you see this? This is the Volvo C30. THIS is what Edward Cullen drove in the MOVIE version of Twilight. My only guess as to why the car was changed to something Edward Cullen SO would NOT have driven is that a) the "R" in the S60R is no longer available... and b) it seems like a car a younger person would drive, and they wanted to make Edward hip and truly 17, and not ONE HUNDRED EIGHT, which is what is truly is.
Now. Turn your attention to THIS. THIS is what Edward Cullen is driving in Eclipse. (See Bella in the driver's side?) It is an XC90. And I know a lot about the XC90 because I OWNED ONE for five years - until last year when I traded it in for a Ford Flex. I wanted a car that was a little shorter, a lot less expensive with just as much room and a 5 star safety rating. I miss my XC90 a lot, but seeing as Ford owns Volvo, I knew I'd be getting a similar driving experience. (Anyone who is saying "oh come ON, you can't compare Ford to Volvo is not aware just how much Ford there really in a Volvo these days. The same goes for the Saab 900, which is now built on a Malibu chassis as it's owned by GM and they have completely wiped out all the old Swedish designers and execs. Don't EVEN get me started on THAT.)
OK SO WHY am I waxing on about cars like some kind of annoying guy on one of those cable shows filmed in a garage with motorcycles and guys in bandanas? Because in addition to being a total techno-dweeb, I am also a TOTAL car chick. Always have been. Ever since I was in the 8th grade and completely mortified when my mother dropped me off at school in her 67 Dodge Dart. (I won't go any further with that story because it really does bring back painful memories and I may have to go lie down if I do.)
And WHY am I so upset about Edward's Volvo? Because it's not that difficult to stick to the damn story. Let's reflect on a little book called Eclipse. Do you remember this:
I have had not one, but two times since reading the Twilight series that I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a SILVER VOLVO S60 behind me and almost shat my pantalones. I am not too proud to admit that I spent the rest of the drive pretending Edward was following me and was going to give me one of his sexy, tight-assed lectures on his black, leather couch when I got home from helping Angela with her graduation announcements... but I digress.
Bottom line, the story goes: "the sun was glinting off a SILVER VOLVO right on my tail". And that's what we should see in the films.
OK so why change it? A Volvo XC90 is a great car. Don't get me wrong. But a guy who has a simultaneous love of all things fast, yet practical in the Volvo family is NOT going to drive one! Do you know what I called that car for five years? My MOM CAR. I don't care that they've changed it to black. Ooooh big deal. Black! As if that denotes a car that's usually driven by a person with a penis?!? NOT! My first car was black! (A pre-owned 1986 Nissan Pulsar, which was sa-weet until I went away for a weekend and left it in a parking lot that got flooded. There were practically fish falling out of the back seat when I opened the door. Let's not go there, mmmkayyy?)
So I ask you, Mr. Slade... WHY are you MESSING with "THE CAR"? Is it not enough to have a long and happy movie with a silver S60?? (Even without the "R", I'd much rather see the proper SILVER S60 than a BLACK X90!)
If you want to CHANGE something, change Bella's wig! (And lord....change Carlisle's while you're at it.) And leave the cars alone! Geez, next thing you know, Edward's going to be lending Jacob his Ferrari Enzo in Breaking Dawn! It's just...WRONG!

Dream On
Cool dream sequence photo from New Moon. Just add it to all the photos that have been taking my breath away this week. Look at the clothes. It's like Edward hasn't even died yet. And it sticks to the books because Bella had daydreams about Edward's "time" and saw herself wearing Victorian and Edwardian clothes. And just look at Bella's face. All happy and content in her little dream that Edward is still around. (OK not sure why Edward looks constipated but, whatev. We all have bad days.) Anyhoo...(god since when do I say "anyhoo?!") All of this means I may love Chris Weitz as much as Edward Cullen, if that's at all possible. Yowsa.

They will all sparkle. THEY WILL ALL SPARKLE!!!!!
DAVID_A_SLADE When the vampires sparkle we need to use a special camera filter to expose it on film. Otherwise the film over exposes.DAVID_A_SLADE Today, vampires talking, vampires kissing, rain stayed away. We had to battle the sunlight to keep our vampires from sparkling too much.

Good Twi-dish
Loved this Marc Malkin article with comments from Melissa Rosenberg. She shares my "whatev" sentiments on the conglomeration that is Robsten. She's also got some good dish here - specifically the "Riley" character in Eclipse... and how things in New Moon will be "expanded on" in the film. And there is some great, positive commentary from Rachelle LaFevre (who I totally love and am actually getting sadder over as the weeks go by.) And it is only fair that I point out that Kristen Stewart looks FABU in this shot. I am really proud of her for stepping up to the plate and playing the movie star for her fans at the VMA's. I love Joan Jett even more than the next guy but it was time for Kristen to put her away for a little while. So kudosamundo, Kstew. Long live Bella Swan.
