ECLIPSE: 7 Minute Behind the Scenes Video

GREAT video. Although they might as well call this next flick "Eclipse: The Bad Hair Day" WOW. Don't even get me STARTED on the wann-be-ness of Victoria. And Carlisle. Ohhh Carlisle... what have they DONE to your pretty noggin?? My god the wig is so awful! Couldn't Showtime have made Nurse Jackie dye your hair blonde for shits and giggles??? C'mon! Edie Falco is no stranger to hair dye! Carmella LIVED for that shit! And poor Bella. She went from having the most gorgeous hair in school to having the most Marcia Brady-esque wig at school. Come on! She looks like Neil from "The Young Ones"!  OK - karma, Carol... I better say something nice: Jacksper's hair is fantastico! WAY better than Twilight and New Moon. Jenn D - we have to discuss this further!!

Will 'Breaking Dawn' Be Directed By Bill Condon?

Will 'Breaking Dawn' Be Directed By Bill Condon?

I am cracking up at m'self. I was getting "Dreamgirls" mixed up with "Showgirls" and going "HUH?????" when I first read this.

M. Night Shyamalan Would Love to Direct Breaking Dawn!

I. Love. This. Not because I think M. Night Shyamalan is necessarily the best choice for the job... but because I love M. Night Shyamalan. He's a good Philly 'burbs kid like me and I support everything he does - good or bad. Here's the thing - he has the heart. He's not your typical male director in that he's able to get to the heart of the story and make you feel it. And he liked Twilight. He called Catherine Hardwicke to compliment her! I can't believe it but I think I love him even more!

Wax RPattz: I So Totally WON'T Have What She's Having...

YUCK! Can you IMAGINE how many Tweens, Teens, Tri-Delts, Moms and Cougars have slobbered on this thing??? BLECH! Strep throat is going around our school.. I can get it THERE without having to deal with the Lincoln Tunnel, thankyouverymuch!  PS - Poor Rob. They made him look like a life-sized Ken doll. Wonder if he's sporting a big void downtown, too...

Edward's Red Eyes in Eclipse?

THIS is an interesting little tidbit I found over at Eclipsemovie.org. Apparently someone realized Edward has RED eyes in the trailer? What's up with that???

Eclipse Trailer Parody

Oh holy god this is so friggin funny I don't know what to do with myself. I. Love. This. Guy. Thanks to Diana (a friend to both of my blogs!) for posting this on Facebook!

Edward and Bella Bedroom Scene from Eclipse

SPOILER ALERT: Don't watch if you don't want to see scenes from Eclipse before the movie comes out.

Ho. Ly. CRAPOLA. Between the music, the tragic subject matter and the general feeling of creepiness (thank you, David Slade!).... I'm thinking this might be the best Twilight movie yet. Cross your fingers.

Victoria in Eclipse: WTF???

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

OFFICIAL ECLIPSE TRAILER!!!

I...I...I... oh god just WATCH IT!!!!!!  PS - LORDDDDD....Bring back Rachelle!!!!

AN OFFICIAL ECLIPSE TRAILER!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

CHILLS! CHILLS! CHILLS! CHILLS!  Oh JESUS GOD!!!  It's just hitting me NOW!!! A WHOLE MOVIE FULL OF EDWARD!!!!

I've never been so happy in my whole life! (whimpered like Long Duck Dong)

Artist on Artist Interview with Rob Pattinson and Pierce Brosnan

Jenn M suggested I watch this days ago... and I just got around to finishing it. Wow - it's a great interview. It was really done to promote "Remember Me" but they talk a good deal about Twilight - or Breaking Dawn, rather, toward the end. Rob says they're filming at the end of the year and that it may be split into too films. (Um "may". Right. It's SO going to be two films. Can we say "Ca-ching"!)

Enjoy. (And might I say Pierce Brosnan is a god. Seriously. Rob who?)

New Eclipse Stills

Well... since I'm such a teeny tiny operation... I figured no one would mind if I posted a still from Eclipse. There are more where this came from. Do let me know if you'd like to see them...

Breaking Dawn in 3D?

This would make me throw in my mouth a whole lot more than a little. I am vehemently against Breaking Dawn being in 3D. I don't even know if I could see it.

Rachelle LeFevre was Thrown to the Wolves

Could someone please remind me again why this gorgeous woman who has a big heart and played "Victoria" to perfection was kicked to the curb? I'll never understand it.

She was awesome in Twilight and even better in New Moon. That scene with her running in the woods (RIP Harry Clearwater) was one of my top three favorites in the film.

I hope she gets some tremendous roles in the very near future. I know she'll kick ass.. and  she doesn't need Summit. 

And PS - SHE DIDN'T NEED A WIG!!!!

*Thanks to NewMoonMovie.org for the photo.

Mother of god. New Eclipse stills. Lots of them.

There are no words. I cannot speak. THANK YOU to ROBsessed for these unbelievable shots. THANK YOU to my cousin, Jenn D. for alerting me to them. THANK YOU to David Slade for staying TRUE TO THE STORY and giving us the ever-loving "leg hitch" scene on Edward's bed. THANK YOU to Stephenie Meyer for writing the series. And THANK YOU to all of you who are reading this. This is the equivalent of one of those nights when you've had too much to drink and start telling everyone who walks by how much you love them because you're so unbelievably happy...

What do YOU want to do with Rob?

The Details article and spread came out - with those stunning photos of Rob and some scantily clad women. That's a nice way of saying "naked". (So if you're one of my grade school-aged nieces, you're not allowed to click the link, mmmkayyy?)

The following quote is in the Details article... and I got to thinking: I wonder how my blog buds would answer this. So what do you say, peeps? What's YOUR answer?

"Complete strangers want to fuck you, shoot you, be you, buy you, sell you, run their fingers through your hair, watch you have sex, hear you pee, eat chips with you, and kidnap you and stuff you in the trunk of their car."     

My answer?  Chips. Definitely chips.

Happy 18th Birthday, Taylor Lautner!

Thank GOD this kid is finally legal, right?!

Photos of Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami

OK you know I don't usually post random actor shots on the blog when they have nothing whatsoever to do with Twilight. But... well... today, I feel I must.

I mean really, people. LOOK AT HIM! He was made for period pieces. In fact,  have I not been bitching for months about wanting to see Robert Pattinson in a period piece? Oh  yes I have. And now he is busy working on the film adaptation of Bel Ami by  Guy de Maupassant... about a 19th century journalist's rise to power by sleeping with various wealthy women (most or all married, I might add). Uma Thurman? Hello. She's turning 40. Kristen Scott Thomas? 48, I believe. This is quite a bold on RPattz's part. I LOVE IT. So much so that I may just have to read Bel Ami - right after I'm finished reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. (Is that a shameless plug or what?)

Why Twilight Just "Worked"

This is why Twilight worked. Look at this photo. I pulled this up (on Latchkey Wife) and my first thought was "EDWARD!" Not "Rob".... Not "What's with the Casual Friday ensemble?!" just... "EDWARD!"

I've been waiting patiently for New Moon to come out on Video. But honestly - I'm not nearly as excited as I thought I'd be. It's not the same. Nothing against Chris Weitz or any of the actors... I just... truly think I liked Twilight better. Why?

Because of Catherine Hardwicke.

They can call her quirky all they want. But the woman captured the essence of Twilight. She gets it. She understands and is able to project it properly onto the screen. She brings across the novel. I'm no feminist, but I can honestly say I think this is because she has boobs. She's a female; we're wired differently. We understand the emotion and realize it's more important than sometimes even visuals - like "blowing up stuff"... know what I mean?

So if you're still hunting for Breaking Dawn directors, oh Summit... you might want to consider a female. Just sayin'...

Great new Midnight Sun video from Tiffanyd666

WAIT until you see this. It's a Twilight/Midnight Sun video with lots of Edward. It's from Tiffanyd666 who - in my opinion - makes the best fan videos for Twilight. Period.

AND - check out the scene at 59 seconds. It's a deleted scene that they should have kept in. Edward is standing at his car with Emmett and Bella walks down the stairs behind him - and he grips the car hard because he can smell her behind him. He never even sees her before she walks by; just knows her scent. Check out the LOOK on his face. It's way better than the look on his face from the first day they met in biology class (when he looks like someone passed gas). Why they cut this scene out is beyond me. What is it, all of a 15 second scene?? I'm sure Catherine had a good reason but wow - wish they could have just added more time to the film. As if we'd have a problem with a 3 hour Twilight film????

Stephenie Meyer talks about the Twilight Graphic Novel

From StephenieMeyer.com:

January 20, 2010

Here is a press release from Hachette Book Group which was released just a few minutes ago:

YEN PRESS ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL, VOL. 1 WILL GO ON-SALE ON MARCH 16, 2010
NEW YORK, NY (January 20, 2010) — Yen Press, the graphic novel imprint of Hachette Book Group, announced that it will publish the highly-anticipated first volume in the graphic novel adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight on March 16, 2010. Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 will be released in hardcover for $19.99 ($22.99 CAN) with a first printing of 350,000 copies. As is typical in graphic novel publishing, due to the length of the prose novel, the book will be divided into two volumes and the release date for the second volume is forthcoming.
Twilight: The Graphic Novel contains selected text from Meyer's original novel with illustrations by Korean artist Young Kim. A rare fusion of Asian and Western comic techniques is reflected in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.
"I've enjoyed working on this new interpretation of Twilight," said Meyer. "Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series."
Kurt Hassler, Yen Press Publishing Director, said, "Few American publishing properties are better suited to introduce a vast readership to the medium of graphic novel than the phenomenon that is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. Yen Press will certainly continue to expand this audience with the help of Bella and Edward."
In four years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon. The Twilight Saga’s translation rights have been sold in nearly 50 countries and 85 million copies have been sold worldwide.

A little RPattz hilarity for a Friday afternoon...

So Jenn D, Jenn M and I were having an amusing little email convo about RPattz. It involved our thoughts on how we'd like to spend an evening with him... and Jenn D sent some lovely photos to capture the fantasy. Enjoy.

From Jenn D:

This is the look I expect us to get when Rob intercepts this email thread (because you know he stalks me):




 






Followed soon by the second pic, after we've plied him with whiskey & ale.

Then the third pic, which I will just call "The Morning After" 













Jenn D: And lastly?  When we remind him we'll see him the same time next week.  ;)

Breaking Dawn Movie(s): Stephenie Meyer Says "No Drama"

From Stephenie Meyer's website:

January 12, 2010
Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I've said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I'm all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I've spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We're all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip gets fabricated to stir things up, but there's no basis to this particular story.

Access Hollywood Interview with Peter Facinelli

What a sweetie. I dig that he's cool about Twitter and isn't spewing to the masses about a bunch of nonsense. Go team Carlisle!  OH and how about him talking about the WIG?! I admit - I abused it. But only because he's way too sexy for his wig...right? I appreciate the fact that it was job-related. Once again - PFach just keeps bringin' the classy.

PASADENA, Calif. --

Peter Facinelli plays an eccentric doctor in Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie,” but in Season 2, Dr. Fitch Cooper ends up having something in common with the actor himself – a Twitter account.
And when asked about the difference between Coop’s Twitter account and his own at the Television Critics Association “Nurse Jackie” panel on Saturday in Pasadena, Calif., Peter said it was all about the numbers.
“He doesn’t have nearly as many people following him,” Peter, who has nearly 1.5 million devotees, said.
The star said he enjoys the social networking site, but unlike some stars, he has no plans to make his personal space commercial.
“It’s a great way to share information with them and it’s also a great way to entertain,” he said. “I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and I like being able to also mix that up with sharing information with them that’s important and also letting them know what I’m doing. I mean I’ve had people come to me and say, ‘Hey, will you Tweet this out?’ There’s like paid advertisement stuff. I’m not into that. I like to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything.”
One thing Peter’s Twitter follower already know is that the star was traveling from Vancouver to New York on a regular basis over the fall to film “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the third film in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novels-turned-movies, and “Nurse Jackie.” But he revealed on Saturday that because the two characters – Carlisle Cullen and Coop – look so different, he had to go the Kristen Stewart way and use fake hair.
“Because I was doing both projects at the same time I wore a wig,” Peter said of changing into Carlisle’s light blonde coif for “Eclipse.” “I mean, there were days where I was literally running for hours in the forest and then I jump on a plane and I would be on the ‘Nurse Jackie’ set. I was going from Vancouver to NY every three days.”

Hilarious Twilight Parody

Oh holy shit. I have to thank robpattinsonphotos.blogspot.com for posting this UTTER HILARITY. (Not that I look at websites that show photos of Rob Pattinson or anything.) It's by some dude named PirateNolan on youtube. Enjoy!

Pattinson to get intimate with Thurman in Bel Ami

A love scene with Kristin Scott Thomas??? She's older than me! 8 YEARS older than me!! SQUEEEE!!!!!

TWILIGHT star Robert Pattinson is all set to film a love making scene with actress Uma Thurman in their upcoming movie Bel Ami.

The Hollywood's latest heartthrob is starring in the big screen version of Guy de Maupassant's 19th Century novel Bel Ami, where he plays an ambitious young journalist Georges Duroy who sleeps his way to the top, Contactmusic reported.

The 23-year-old actor's first on-screen conquest will be Thurman's character Madeleine.

Film fans could possibly see Pattinson get steamy with Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas, who star as Clotilde and Virginie respectively in the film.

The movie will be helmed by theatre director Declan Donnellan, who is making his celluloid debut, and three other actresses are to join the all-star cast.

Pattinson is hoping 'Bel Ami' is a success as he recently admitted he finds it "scary" taking on work outside of the 'Twilight' franchise.

The British actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie series, said, "You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that's also scary. You don't have to audition for anything.

"Before 'Twilight,' I did any movie that I got offered, and you'd try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well," Pattinson said.

"Damn the Sun for Shining its Glow All Over Rob"

I wouldn't have even posted this - but that is truly the GREATEST line I've heard in months. Definitely the first seriously decent line of 2010. Kudos to New Moon Movie for some serious hilarity.

Taylor Lautner's People's Choice Award Speech

Ya know... I wax on about RPattz too damn much on this blog and do not give nearly enough lurve to this CU-TIE-PIE of a TayLaut. Look at him - it's truly hard to fathom that he's only 17. (Um how long has he been 17? Srsly? Isn't he 18 yet? Jesus hurry up and have a birthday so we can all stop feeling so dirty and pervy.) He is looking very old world Hollywood. I couldn't be happier for this kid. (Oh and PS - Chris Pine was robbed. Did you see Star Trek? You should.)

Real Twilight Genius from Twi Soup

I have found the FUNNIEST friggin blog EVAH - thanks to my cousin and Edward Cullen FanFic fanatic, Jenn D. You MUST go check out Twi Soup. Holy SHIT they are friggin funny. I am peeing in my pantaLONes over their spoofs on Budweiser's "Real Men of Genius" - in Twifashion.  Why? Because I am a Real Men of Genius whore - with my FAVORITE being "Mr. Boneless Buffalo Wing Inventor" (hands off my drummies) Oh my god I HOWLED when I saw the following on their blog. Get your ASS to their site PRONTO!!

Do you think this dude looks like RPattz? Me neither.

Johnny Lee Miller as Edward 10 Years Ago?

Watched the 1999 "Mansfield Park" the other night...  Is it me, or would Johnny
Lee Miller - in 1999, that is - have made a tremendous Edward Cullen? And what's
amusing is that he played "Edmund" in the movie. CoINcidenceeeee.

The Darling Buds

oooh so I found this little video of Jamie Campbell Bower's band - The Darling Buds - on their myspace page singing a song called "Venice". How have I not stumbled across this earlier? Oh right - probably because I'm old enough to be his "older sister" and it's really gross that I think he's adorable. I forgot.

Say it with me now: "She knows too much. She's a liability"...

Yahoo Video: Twilight stars talking about Eclipse

Thanks to mygloss.com's Buzz Gloss for bringing this fantastic video to my attention. It's got Cullens... it's got the Wolf Pack... and of course it's got Edward, Jacob and Bella - all discussing ECLIPSE. (Taylor's got me all kinds of juiced up for the tent scene. Squeeee!) Enjoy! Oh and PS - if you have any info regarding this "rumor" about Stephenie Meyer finishing the rest of Midnight Sun, please share. For the love of god - PLEASE SHARE!

Stephenie, Diana and Carol

Just finished watching "Julie and Julia", the movie about the woman who blogged about spending one year cooking every recipe from Julia Child's cookbook.

I wish I could say "Wow, that was so inspirational!"  But all it really did was remind me that Diana Gabaldon and Stephenie Meyer would probably be like "Um, yeah, whatever" if they ever saw my blogs. Especially Stephenie, since there are like 40 million blogs about the Twilight series. And Diana... well Diana has degrees in Zoology, Marine Biology and Ecology. Something tells me she's not going to look highly on a blog that obsesses over Jamie Fraser's mojo... and uses words like "shizzle".

I know, I know, that sounds really negative. But Julia Child, herself was like "Um, yeah, whatever" when she found out about Julie's blog. I have to be realistic, ya know?

On the positive side, Julie published a book about her blog - which was later made into the movie I just watched. And before all of that, she seemed to be happy, just cooking and blogging. Kindof like me... only I'm just reading and blogging, right?

So the moral of the story? The moral is that I should keep writing my blogs... because they make me happy. Being a Twilight/Outlander fan makes me happy. Meeting with my friends and talking about these books makes me happy. And isn't that what's important?

Yeah. I think it is. That... and Jamie Fraser's kilts and his big... hard... um, dirk (it's a knife, geez!)  And Edward Cullen's big, iron bed. That he doesn't even need.... the one with the flowers... that Bella doesn't even WANT to sleep on, because she's a FREAK!

Yeah... I love my blogs. :)

Thank you, David Slade

I just want to take a moment to thank the heck outta David Slade for not allowing too many images from Eclipse to circulate online. Bella in a cap and gown? K... Bella and her mom on the patio? Whatev.  I am just SO thrilled we don't know squat about this movie, other than the story from the book. Don't you think it took something away from New Moon (the movie) that - by opening day - we had already seen shots from practically every scene in the film?? That's probably why the opening scene with the grandmother - and the dizzy scene with the calendar changing - were my favorite parts of the film. Watching Edward "walk out into the sun" (thank you, Simon LeBon) wasn't nearly as mind-blowing as it should have been, had we not seen forty million stills of the scene on the internet earlier. And yes, you can say "hey, don't look" - and you'd be right - only, seriously, can you NOT look? I didn't think so...

GMTV Interview with Rob Pattinson

a) Realized halfway through that this could be me interviewing him. I bet she's around my age. It's funny how you see yourself younger, until you see someone your age and think "Oh. Right. I'm not 17."
b) I feel sorry for Rob that he's never experienced the kind of love that makes you want to blow off the rest of the planet and canoodle with each other.
c) DUDE. Their eyes are NOT RED. Vamps who feed on HUMANS have RED EYES. Vamps who feed on animals have BROWN or YELLOW eyes, depending on how recently they've eaten. GAWD I get so sick of these people not even friggin knowing the BASICS!

d) Apparently Jesus was a Nordic caveman? Oh Rob you poor soul. I totally feel for him in this. Digging... digging.. the hole just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
e) Judging from the hotel room atmosphere, I'm thinking he gave this interview right before he gave one to "Horse and Hound". (Part 2 below)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEPHENIE MEYER!!!

Wow I had NO IDEA it was Stephenie Meyer's birthday! I wonder how she feels about having a birthday on Christmas Eve? Know why I wonder that? Because I WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS EVE! (It's my birthday... it's my birthday.. it's my birthday...)

Call me a dork but that is VERY cool to me. VERY cool.

PS - It's my birthday. Can I ask for one thing? KISS ME EDWARD!!!!!!!

Twiliight was awesome. Seriously.

Go team Catherine. I came across this Twilight trailer the other day and was memorized. Listen to the music. I truly loved this film and never really realized it until after I saw New Moon. Chris Weitz' visuals are stunning and he's a tremendous director. But Catherine Hardwicke's original Twilight movie was a beautiful piece of work and really needs to be given its' proper due.  Whether it met Hollywood's or the mainstream public's  (who didn't read and love the books) standards is of no importance to me; it totally and completely captured the essence of Edward Cullen.

WAY cool new TWifans graphics

Whoa. Has anyone seen the new Twifans cartoon graphics? (Not sure how "new" they are - but I just recently stumbled across them.) If not - they are SO cool. The Cullens are one shot... Edward, Bella and Jacob are another... and the wolf pack is the third.  Lots of Twi-goodness.

Twilight's Grammy Nominations

THIS is pretty cool:

Paramore's "Decode" was nominated for:

Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media

(They have to be FLIPPING OUT over this, by the way.)

The Twilight Soundtrack was nominated for:

Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media

Who Will Direct Breaking Dawn?

Anyone know of any directors who would be perfect for Breaking Dawn? I have been kicking ideas around - and while doing so,  some have been rather comical. Like Spielberg.  Can you imagine? Edward and Bella are on one of Edward's long-assed snorkeling expeditions on Isle Esme and one of them utters "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat." Or how about Guy Ritchie? They're all sitting around watching Bella writhe in pain and blow chunks... and all the sudden Jacob flies in with an oozy and says "Has she got a tea cozy on her head?" Or the Farrelly Brothers? LOL! Edward's all moaning in Bella's pregnant lap and those dudes from "Something About Mary" show up with guitars singing something like this:

Bella and Edward, Edward and Bell

She's knocked up and he's going to hell

Why do they stay together oh why?

When she's just a human and Edward can fly.

Oh the possibilities are endless. So... again... got any director ideas for Breaking Dawn? Please do throw 'em my way!

TRUE BLOOD SEASON 3 CASTING (We interrupt this Twilight blog...)

Any of y'all who are TRUE BLOOD fans, you're going to want to check out Bowling For Vampires. There is now a whole list of new hires for season 3 - complete with photo and who's who. ENJOY!

Really MTV? Really?

Dear MTV,

I don't watch awards your channel regularly and haven't for a long time. COMMA HOWEVER, I watched the MTV MOVIE AWARDS this year, because of a little something called THE CAST OF TWILIGHT... with Mr. ROBERT PATTINSON being the most worthy/talented/savory/tasty (pick one) person in that group. I watched the MTV Movie Awards from start to finish this year (as did my HUSBAND, which is stupefying) - and could not get enough of the guy in the blue jacket. And no, I'm not talking about Steve O.

Apparently you had record ratings for this show - all due to the attendance and subsequent award-winning of Mr. Pattinson, who you've named #6 on your "Man of the Year" list for 2009.

Srsly??? #6?!  For a guy who made you sick money by bringing a huge amount of non-watchers like me to your channel? Please revise your list. Clearly it's dead wrong.

Love,
Carol
PS - I fully admit I went back to not watching your channel the day after the aforementioned awards. You lost me years ago - somewhere between "The Real World" and "The Hills". And now you have that lovely show about a bunch of self-declared "Guidos" living at the Jersey shore - where I happen to reside. Let me fill these kiddies in on a little secret. They're not "Guidos"; they're "Guineas". There is a difference. Lord - the kid from Rhode Island makes me want to throw up in my mouth MORE than "a little". Dude your scene is nothing short of gross. I am Italian. Do NOT say your "lifestyle is Italian". You probably don't know the first thing about the history and culture of Italy - or anything else remotely Italian for that matter. All you know is "The Sopranos" - and gravy on Sunday afternoons. The only nice kid and non-guinea on the show seems to be Vinny. But I only watched the intro video (see below and try not to vomit on your shoes), so what do I know? (It may take a while to load. No worries; you'll need that time to go and get your bucket or spitune before the video begins.)

Ridiculous "Twilight" Headlines

Notice how quiet it is around here these days? That's because we don't have a movie coming out for another 6 months... and I refuse to blog about something I don't care about just because a Twilight actor is involved.

Do you give a shite about where Ashley Green gets her coffee... or where a Wolf is buying his Christmas presents?

Neither do I.

So - we'll need to turn things inward a bit... and talk amongst ourselves. I'll give us a topic:

What are some really ridiculous headlines you've seen about Twilight actors lately? 

Discuss!

Rob Pattinson's Vogue Shoot for Remember Me

Yeesh. Not that this has squat to do with Twilight, but  here we go again. And I thought we'd have some relief from the feeding frenzy until June when Eclipse comes out. I forgot Remember Me comes out in March. Poor Emilie de Ravin. She's going to get mobbed just like Kristen.

Ya know - as much as I think Rob Pattinson's has some serious acting talent (see The Haunted Airman if you question that. Great performance) - I can sum up in two words why I really want to see Remember Me: Chris Cooper. I would see anything that man was in. Even if he was playing Barney in "Barney and Baby Bop; The Geriatric Years." You get my point. LOVE. CHRIS. COOPER.  *Thanks to eclipsemovie.org for the photo.

Interview with Rob Pattinson in Toda Teen

Thanks to NewMoonMovie.org for this find. Head on over to their site and read the whole thing. I have to make mention of a certain part of the interview though:

TT: You talked about your acting. How did you grow as an actor?
RP: One of the things I never under stood in Twilight was why I was still in school. When you are 108 years old, you would probably be doing any thing, except high school. That fact made me confused when I was acting. But once you finally pull that off… And even in the first scenes when he’s still in school it’s because he wanted to be near Bella. It’s an obvious reason to be there: he wants to be with her. But when Edward leaves and wanders through the world, it’s easier to me to get what he’s thinking.

I had a lot to say about this when I first read it... and I blogged about it. And then Tracey R. commented - and I reread my post - and realized I was hard on RPattz. So I deleted my commentary as well as Tracey's comment (only because it wouldn't make sense without my previous commentary.)

I'm sorry... because I kindof jumped down Rob's throat about not getting why Edward is in school... But he's not really disagreeing with his being in school, he's just saying he had a hard time playing a 108 year old senior in highschool. So I guess I understand that.

I think maybe I'm still a bit put off about certain parts of these movies that I feel sway a bit too far from the books. One point I made in my earlier post that I am sticking with is this: Edward was cool in the books. He exuded strength and calm. No matter what was going on inside his brain. And I don't feel like Rob does that in the films; quite the opposite. Edward looks uncomfortable a lot. And I disagree with that. Edward might have felt uncomfortable...  but he didn't look uncomfortable... or act uncomfortable. (Except for that conundrum of his whimpering on Bella during her pregnancy, but let's not get into that right now, mmmkayyyy?)

You know, yesterday I was talking to my friend Nancy S. whose friend's daughter read the books and absolutely refuses to see the films. I found that absolutely and unbelievably commendable for a teenager. It got me thinking about how I really feel like I've lost a bit of the true Twilight... because the movies are different from the books in one way or another. What I have to remember is that it is not always the actors' fault; they can only do so much to bring the book to life.

I'm starting to think I don't want to see the Outlander series on the big screen... But that's a post for My Outlander Purgatory...

No Piracy Charges for Samantha Tumpach

I am SO HAPPY to hear they've dropped the charges against Samantha Tumpach for bringing her video camera to the theatre and taping a miniscule portion of New Moon - along with her sister's birthday party. Is she going to be compensated for the two nights she spent in JAIL??

And KUDOS to Chris Weitz for his kind words about her. SOMEBODY had to stand up for this girl!! She wasn't trying to pirate the movie - and they should have clued in to that the second they looked at her FOOTAGE! Do these people have any idea how friggin EXCITED we all were to see New Moon for god's sake? I couldn't even eat any POPCORN! And I LOVE movie theatre popcorn! To say NO to it is either INSANITY - or the knowledge that I'm about to watch EDWARD CULLEN on the big screen.  And what else did I do to the big screen? Oh yeah that's right; I took a picture so I could upload it to Facebook and say "LOOK! I'M AT THE THEATRE, ABOUT TO SEE NEW MOON!!!" (I'd say "SUE ME"... but quite honestly, I'm TERRIFIED to give them any IDEAS!!!)

Jacob & Bella are matching with intensity, & it's all even with the action sequences. Right now we are in a great state of balance.

As we cut. Edward seems to be a really strong presence, the intensity of the love story & rivalry between Jacob is in the driving seat.

Been quite a week, we almost have our composer, all fingers crossed for some great news soon.

Wolf reviews today, looking better & better. The Eclipse story and they way we approached the film calls for a much more realistic approach.

Bryce Dallas Howard Interview

Check out this interview blurb on eclipsemovie.org. Wow. This woman is tremendous with the media. Her comments about Rachelle Lafevre are spot on (aka SHE FRIGGIN KICKED ASS IN NEW MOON) and very gracious, might I say. Go BDH.

WHY BREAKING DAWN MUST BE MADE INTO A MOVIE

One of THE funniest articles I've seen in a LONG time. It's a little X-rated - so be forewarned. (Thanks to John S. for sending it in!)

THE DEVIN'S ADVOCATE  

WHY BREAKING DAWN MUST BE MADE INTO A MOVIE  

By Devin Faraci

With New Moon likely to make yet another metric fuckload of money this weekend we need to find the bright side to the entire Twilight mania. There must be something good that comes from this awful Mormon fantasy that seems to have invaded our culture on every front. That something is the eventual movie version of Breaking Dawn.

Even though New Moon has made a bazillion dollars and even though the third Twilight book, Eclipse, is already filming, Summit has declined to announce the fourth and final Twilight book as a movie. There's a good reason for this: Breaking Dawn is completely fucking insane, and it is probably totally unfilmable. But if they do film it... man, we are in for a treat.

Breaking Dawn opens with Bella Swan, the lacteal heroine of the series, finally getting married to Edward Cullen, the mopey vampire hero. They go off to honeymoon on Isle Esme, a Brazilian island the Cullen clan owns (this is already ridiculous beyond belief. Imagine a vampire going snorkeling; it basically happens in this book), and Edward is afraid to fuck his new bride. The reason: he's super strong and she's just a human - Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex type of situation here. But Bella wears him down and Edward throws it in her - and knocks her the fuck out, leaving her badly bruised.

Let's go over that again: Edward fucks Bella into unconsciousness. This alone should have you running to Fandango to pre-order your tickets, but it only gets better.

Despite being knocked out cold by his sexual style (and having the headboard destroyed), Bella goes back to Edward for seconds. This time he knocks her up. Yes, an undead vampire apparently has enough viable sperm to impregnate a human woman while fucking her off the coast of Rio de Janero. Stephenie Meyer, you fabulous idiot!

The baby in Bella's belly starts growing incredibly fast. And it starts hurting Bella, as each kick it gives has the super strength of a vampire behind it. As it grows, Bella gets sicker, and then the good stuff starts. The baby kicks so hard it breaks Bella's ribs and then severs her spine. Are you imagining Kristen Stewart wearing a fake pregnancy belly and pretending to have been suddenly crippled by her own fetus? Because I am and it's making me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Oh wait, I missed something. Edward is completely freaked out about the baby, fearing it will kill Bella. He tries to convince her to get an abortion (but seriously, how could she? Vampires are tough to kill even in this shitty series), and goes so far as asking Native American wolfboy Jacob to impregnate his wife so that she can have the baby she desperately wants. I'm dizzy with how ridiculous this is, and we're just getting started.

Eventually the baby starts to get born and Bella is dying. The baby has telepathy, by the way, so everybody can read its thoughts while it's in the womb, and it turns out to have an essentially adult mind. Like Alia in Dune; I would accuse Stephenie Meyer of ripping this off, but anyone who thinks that Meyer might have read Frank Herbert has never been within spitting distance of Twilight. The woman is a moron. 

In a moment that demands to be shown on the silver screen, Edward gives Bella an emergency C-section with his fucking teeth. It's like something out of XTro, for the love of God. It's so horrible it's brilliant, and this scene alone is why I remain firm in declaring that David Cronenberg must direct Breaking Dawn. This is surely his movie.

Once the baby is out, Bella gets vamped by Edward, as she's about to die at any moment. Then comes the most astonishing turn of events in 21st century literature, and possibly in the entire history of awful fiction aimed at tweens: Jacob the werewolf, who has been madly in love with Bella, sees the new baby girl and immediately imprints on her. What this means, in layman's terms, is that he falls in love with the baby.

I want to pull this out on its own: Jacob falls in love with a baby.

The book makes no bones about this; while Jacob doesn't want to fuck the baby right off the bat, he can't stand to be away from it and visits everyday. His love has been transferred from Bella to the baby (who has the tongue shattering name Renesmee), and because of the science behind imprinting he'll love her forever. So one day he's going to stick his wolf dick in this girl that he see as a bloody newborn. Romance is not dead, it's just being abused by insane Mormon writers.

There's more in Breaking Dawn - the Volturi come back, for one thing - but these are the main amazing events that demand this book to be turned into a film. I will not rest until I have seen a movie in which a werewolf falls in love with a baby. Hell, once I've seen a werewolf fall in love with a baby I may quit movie watching - I will have seen the ultimate culmination of a century of cinema. The entire film of Breaking Dawn would play like the weirdest exploitation film since Doris Wishman died - brutal sex, bizarre body horror, unbelievable pedophilia.

A werewolf falling in love with a baby. This is why Thomas Edison invented this shit in the first place. So we could see a werewolf fall in love with a baby.

Comment #349 (Posted by My Twilight Purgatory)

I am a self professed "Twihard" and that is some of the FUNNIEST shit I have ever read in my entire life. The only thing that has come close to this hilarity is one reviewer who said Jacob had "Christian Rock hair". THANK YOU for making my friggin day.

Twilight Cycles

I'm not sure a Twilight video has ever made me laugh this hard. Ever. Thanks to Tara V. for the HILARITY.

New Moon LOLcats Review

Dying. Holy CRAP. Just... dying. Thank you Jenn D. for sending this in. The rest of you must take yourselves over to Microsuede to see the most hilarious New Moon review - complete with LOLcats... LOLwolves... AND scenes from Peanuts. Did I mention I'm dying???

Chaske Spencer's - aka "THAT VOICE" - website statement

You will see from the statement on his website that Chaske Spencer is the epitome of class. It can't be easy to (be forced to) throw details about your past out there in front of millions of adoring Twilight fans. I only point it out because a) he seems to be a seriously nice guy and we've been drooling over "that voice" since Parsippany and b) I want everyone to read it so you know the rumors are a bunch of bullshizzle. Oh yeah and c) because the wolf pack KICKED ASS in New Moon - gives me newfound hope for an awesome Eclipse - and who is the ultimate in wolf pack goodness but Sam Uley???

PS - uh, thanks, Chaske for letting me totally gank this hot pic of you right the hell off your website. I am grateful. ;)

Robert Pattinson and Peter Facinelli at New Moon after party

Thanks to Jenn M - and to Robert Pattinson Life - for this adorable photo of RPattz and PFach at a New Moon after party. I don't know about you... but I'll take PFach! Is it me or does Jenny Garth get the "I WIN" award of the century?!? Survey says: YES!!

Woman arrested for taping 'New Moon.'

Woman arrested for taping 'New Moon.' What should be the punishment for talking or texting during it?

RPattz before and after!

LOL got this Tshirt design from Jenn D today. It makes me giggle profusely. (Aww c'mon. RPattz knows he's hot; he can handle a little ribbing.)

So I just saw New Moon again...

A few things I wanted to mention...

Michael Sheen is the new black. He is so hot I don't know what to do with myself. RPattz? Nah (well yeah, but work with me here). Just watching Aro holding everyone's hand made me find him incredibly sexy. Hell, his TEETH made me find him incredibly sexy. Damn. DAMN. I know those of you under 35 are questioning my sanity right now. But the rest of you cougars know what I'm talking about. And if you don't, do a little Michael Sheen googling. You won't be sorry.

Wish they showed the forest a little more when Bella was dreaming. Wish we could have seen her dreams.

Wish the scene where she wakes up from her Volturi nightmare - which wasn't a nightmare - was done more like the book. Bella woke up so funny in the book, thinking she was dead and that Charlie was going to kill her. In the movie, Bella just sat there like a dumbass, staring at Edward while he did all the talking.

Wish they had taken a little while to lead up to the breakup scene. As cool as the October/November/December scene was - and it was very cool -  I think I'd have rather seen Bella getting more and more antsy, sensing the impending doom, like in the book. So that when Edward asks her to take a walk, she is practically falling down already.

My favorite scene in the movie was the hunting/cliff diving scene. Not only did my favorite Native American actor of all time - Graham Greene - have a sad little death scene... but Rachelle Lafevre was KICK ASS in that scene (don't get me started because I may cry. I already miss her.)  And if all of that weren't enough, actually seeing Bella do something so incredibly reckless - just to be near Edward - was really powerful for me and made me cry - again. It hit close to home. Reminded me of something I went through as a kid. Only Bella's Edward came back. Enough said.

So... my second viewing was interesting. Natch, I caught more of the details. Like how friggin GOOD Jessica was. And how funny Eric was. And how beautifully Rob Pattinson recited Shakespeare. And how naturally pretty Kristen Stewart is (which is possibly why some of us got tired of the Joan Jett look after a while; "less is more" where make-up and KStew are concerned.) This time around, I noticed how awesome Charlie was... and how GOOD Kristen Stewart was in the Volturi scene. And the scene where she tells Charlie she saw the wolves. And the scene where she's hanging with Jacob while he's fixing the bikes - or driving in her truck (her "mad skills" comment made me pee.) I HAVE to give her props since I was down on her scenes with Robert. And frankly - tonight I realized something;  that's the problem. I don't care for Kristen Stewart in her scenes with Rob Pattinson. Every other scene - she's great. Scenes with RPattz, she's uncomfortable. Again - enough said.

And let me share two HILARIOUS lines I heard tonight - but not from any of the actors; from Shannon. OH. MY. GOSH. I laughed my ASS off right in the middle of the film.  Halfway through the movie she notices that KStew is an A-cup and leans over to me and says: "She needs a water bra." Dying. Then - during the Volturi scene, she says about Marcus: "He looks like he's going potty." When I tell you.. I almost had to leave the theatre I was laughing so hard.

OK can I type any more? I'm thinking no. So I'm gonna shut up now, y'all.

Wonder if I'll go for a third viewing...

Michael Sheen on Craig Ferguson

Thanks to newmoonmovie.org and Jenn M for alerting me to this. I am clearly showing my age when I say that I think BOTH of these fellows are hot. We all know how Carol digs herself some Brits. And how I'm reading the Outlander series and a Scottish accent melts my butter. And let's face it; I'm no tween (unless I'm 'tween college and a senior discount at Shoprite.)
