Rising Intrigue Over The New Moon

PostHeaderIcon New Moon Released! Making Lots of Money!

The New Moon release topped $20,000,000 opening night!
Fans everywhere are squealing!
Critics everywhere either like it or don't!
And so on!
I have browsed reviews of the film, and have found that female reviewers and fans of the novels liked the film better than guys and people who hated the first film.
No surprise there.
There have been some calls for 'more action!  Look at all those werewolves and vampires!  We need more action!'
And some complaints of things being drawn out just a bit . . .too . . . much . . .
Many people feel that Jacob Black is a great character!  Surely girls everywhere will turn from Team Edward to Team Jacob based on this film!*
Other people feel that it is not good that Edward is largely absent, while many say this is good, because Jacob is a better actor, better character, wears a shirt less, more attractive, etc, etc.
Some people are saying that the loyalty to the novel is definitely a plus for fans, but some people don't like that because they didn't like the novel.**

PostHeaderIcon Kristen Stewart wants you to f*** off and Robert Pattinson is a drunken slob

So I was reading the exciting articles on the Twilight Team in Entertainment Weekly, and the one on Robert Pattinson in Vanity Fair, which was a very long article, and I discovered that Kristen Stewart really hates it when people ask her about her personal life, and said that if anyone asked if she were into Taylor Lautner she'd be all "F*** off!" This is something I find easy to believe.  The article did say it was uncensored, but as we all know, you have censor some of Kristen's profanity because she's a potty mouth.

That naughty Kristen,

Pattinson, on the other hand, does not seem to know what to do with his status as a 13 year old girl's dream man, and sticks to his filthy hotel room and gets drunk.  He also has found that he oftentimes cannot order room service because his room is that dirty.  He even admits to it!

Interestingly enough, Robert Pattinson was chosen for the role based on his face.  He looks 'old-fashioned' or some such nonsense and American actors apparently look too modern.*  So they scoped out a British actor and went with him because he and Kristen seemed to get along pretty well.

PostHeaderIcon Nordstrom's New Moon Line

I decided to check out Nordstrom's famed New Moon line.
I have to say I was a bit disappointed.
Most of their collection consists of flimsy T-Shirts with sayings like 'Team Jacob,' 'Team Edward,' 'You can't read my mind,' and so on.  There are also some with tree and wolf designs on them.  The T Shirts run about $30.00 each, but they are very soft, so if you don't mind flimsy, you might like them.  Probably better for a summer day or layering.
Interspersed with the official wear, they had some jeans that look like Bella would wear and a few shirts that Bella would wear.  Thses are not part of the official collection, but overall the quality was good.  The jeans ran about $30.00- $50.00, while most of the shirts were about $35.00.  The shirts were mainly button down collarded shirts, so the $35.00 wasn't really a bad price, especially for Nordstrom.  I almost bought one, and then didn't because I was being frugal and all.

PostHeaderIcon Let'sTalk About Anni For a Change . . . I mean Bella

I have not updated in a while due to reasons concerning stuff, however, I do feel the need to share the joy of Halloween.

In case you're wondering, that's one of the few days you're allowed to dress up like vampires and get away with it.

And in fact, Mr Thompson and I dressed as Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.

As you can see from the picture, Mr Thompson went a little crazy with his glitter.

You can't say it's just girls who like shiny things, because look at that boy.

Rhinestones and sparkles galore!

PostHeaderIcon Twilight Cast Tour Coming to . . . me?

Next month, some very exciting things are happening in cities across the nation.
And yes, these things will be Twilight related.
In fact, a Twilight Saga: New Moon Cast Tour has been announced.
This means people around the United States can go to see performances by Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, Sea Wolf, and Band of Skulls, and there will even be cast members* there for question and answer sessions! You can also participate in activities and will have chances to win things.**

PostHeaderIcon Film stills, set pics, images galore!

I have browsed the wonders of the internet to bring you these delightful New Moon film related photos. Let us commence the viewing.

This image is a still from New Moon and clearly shows Bella and Jacob having a deep conversation on some stairs.  Looks like they're in a public building, since neither of them would have stairs like this in their homes.  Jacob has not yet discovered his wolfy powers, since he cuts his hair when he does and here he is exhibiting long flowing raven locks, and Bella looks a bit sad, as she does in New Moon a lot.

Here we have a happier Bella with her beloved bloodsucking fiend/heartthrob Edward.  They look like they're having a private moment, so perhaps we shouldn't be ogling them. This one could be either an early picture or a later one, but most certainly not a middle one because Edward runs off for a while there.

PostHeaderIcon Breaking News: New Moon Soundtrack to be released early

Amazingly enough, the New Moon soundtrack is going to be released early.
As in, you can buy it on Friday (October 16th)!
And it's because everyone wants it!
Yes, demand has influenced the producers and they are giving fans a treat by releasing it more than a month before the film is released!
Now, if only they released the film early due to demand . . . but don't hold your breath.*
 
In other news, Robert Pattinson can't get a date because girls just want to date Edward Cullen and not Robert Pattinson.**
 
*Because it probably won't happen
**He could always give up the role of Edward, but that isn't likely to happen either.

PostHeaderIcon Fan Service; or, "Let's Embarass Taylor Lautner"

Taylor Lautner recently revealed that all these shirtless photos embarrass him. Since I find this hard to believe, seeing as he almost never wears a shirt anymore, I feel it is time for some fan service.

As in, show lots of pictures of Taylor Lautner without proper clothing.
Let's begin.

This image is from the New Moon film. As you can see, he is in full Jacob Black mode, as he is not wearing a shirt.

Seeing as this is an action still, you will probably see all the action in the film. In other words, he will be walking—which does require flexing muscles—without that shirt on.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PostHeaderIcon Meet Me on the Equinox Music Video

Did you know that you can watch the Music video for Meet Me On the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie (you know that one they made for New Moon)?

Well, you can.  Amazing.  I can hardly contain my excitement at this.

PostHeaderIcon Win tickets to the Premiere MULTIPLE TIMES!

There seem to be a lot of people giving away tickets to the New Moon premiere.

This is significant because it means that more than one person will be able to go free of charge.

Amazon is holding a sweepstakes for New Moon this week, but this week only.  It includes the tickets, airfare and lodging.  All you need to do to enter is put something on your Amazon wish list and hit the enter to win button.  There are also other prizes you can win along with the premiere tickets, such as a boxed set of the books, the soundtrack, and even the Bella and Edward Barbies.  I already entered because I'm on the ball with this sort of thing.
