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 More to be Seen of Jacob Black

For those of you waiting expectantly for scenic views of Jacob Black in the new trailer being released tomorrow, I have decided to give you a teaser.

If you look to your right, you will see a picture of Taylor Lautner from the film, and he is most certainly not wearing a shirt.

Readers of the book know that Jacob Black goes around with little covering his body in this segment of the story due to the fact that shapeshifting tends to destroy his clothing.

It would appear that filmmakers have decided to stay true to the book in this regard, and are fulfilling the promise of shapeshifting Native American boys in various states of undress.  As far as we know, this is the sort of thing Stephenie Meyer could only imagine.

PostHeaderIcon Barbie Dolls?

Do I dare believe?

Well, since I have photographic evidence, yes, I do.

Mattel is making Twilight Barbie dolls.

"What?" I hear Twilighters around the world say, "Can it be true?"

To which I reply, "Yes!  Look!"

I know everyone in the entire world is excited about this, with the possible exception of those people in Africa who are starving, however--they are only making Edward and Bella.

"But what about Jacob?  What about Alice?  Don't they deserve to be immortalized as Barbies too?" fans are asking.

Well, they probably do, since it would make money for all who are involved, but it would appear that this sort of thing, if it ever occurs, will not happen before the New Moon film is released.

PostHeaderIcon Twilight is SO not just for teen girls.

I love Twilight.
Okay, so yes, I am a girl, and yes, I act like a teenager, but I know there are plenty of people who are neither and like the Super-hyped Twilight Saga.
 
“I’m a guy and I like Twilight . . . is that weird?”
“It was much better than I thought it would be.”
“I really like the vampire mythology.”
 
Sure, the main storyline is romance, but look at all the ‘guy’ movies that have romantic elements.
Trust me; there are a lot of them.
And there is action and blood in Twilight as well.
I wasn’t sure I would like it, but then I started the first book . . . and after an hour or so ran out to buy the rest of the series.
I lent it to a coworker, and pretty soon all we could talk about was Edward, Bella and the rest.
And how we wanted to be vampires too.
Then the movie came out.
I wasn’t sure I would like the movie.
But I did.
My favorite book of the series is, of course, New Moon.
I love it because not only are there vampires, but there are werewolves.

PostHeaderIcon Where would we be without a Jacob versus Edward entry?

Personally, I prefer Jacob. I do realize I am in the minority here. I have a friend who hates him and drools over Edward’s long suffering strong and silent appeal. And okay, vampires are more classically sexy than werewolves (why dead people are more attractive than those who turn in to animals I do not know; it must just be human nature), but . . . I—just—love—him— I mean, Edward was interesting at first; he was so mysterious and aloof. But then Bella got to know him quite well and it is hard to keep being mysterious and aloof when that happens. So, naturally, he was rendered un-mysterious and approachable, at least to the readers and viewers. Jacob’s appeal, however, is that he’s friendly, boyishly charming, loving and enjoys a good laugh. That never gets old! My friend would say, ‘but he’s so immature and he whines!’ To which I reply, ‘well, he is younger, and he’s the third in a love triangle; come on, who doesn’t whine in that situation?’ Also, Jacob can fix motorcycles. Edward can pay people to do that; but you take away his money, and what is there?

PostHeaderIcon Dear New Moon,

I have such high hopes for you. You are my favorite book of the series. You have a great cast. You will have more Jacob Black. You will have Bella acting all depressed and then going to Italy and whatnot. And motorcycles and cliff-diving. In short, I think you have a lot of potential. You will also have a new director. I am not going to say the director for Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke, was bad, because that is not what I am getting to at all. But think of the Harry Potter franchise. Chris Columbus directed the first two, and they were very enjoyable. Then Alfonso Cuaron directed the third one and I nearly wet myself it was so good (when I say wet myself, I mean I was on the verge of tears, not that I had drippy drawers). Part of that was also because I liked the third book better than the first two. Part of it, though, was that he had a new and unique vision that he brought to the film. My dream is that this sort of thing will happen for you too. Chris Weitz will be directing you. He has a very varied and eclectic career. He even directed The Golden Compass, another one of my favorites, though it did not become a smash hit.
