I AM RUNNING SO BEHIND

[cleolinda]

You know, I wasn't going to do a whole Twi-spam post, and then... well. It got epic.

From misanthrope_mom: Fans Of Actor Overwhelm Police At SF Mall. Includes a video news report that I, for one, find completely surreal. You know people at home watching the news who have never even heard of Twilight were like, "Who? The hell?" I also like the lead anchor's suggestion of a Robert Pattinson Economic Stimulus Package that's what she said. Also-also:

"My mother sent me a text message," Pattinson told reporters just before the autograph session. "She said, 'are you okay?' There are people getting their noses broken! It's completely insane.'"

"I don't do anything but go to screaming sessions anymore," Pattinson said. "I don't know what my actual life is now."

Some teen girls cried after they held their posters out for him to sign.

celticangel76 REPORTS LIVE FROM DALLAS WITH PICTURES. DAMN.

Robert Pattinson appearance causes increase in Orland Square Mall security. "The Orland Park Police Department has geared up for the actor’s scheduled appearance early Wednesday evening at Orland Square Mall. In addition, the mall’s own security force is said to be 'totally ready' for the expected hordes of tween and teen girls." Yeah, I think we're gonna need to trot out the word "hilarrible" again here. Another quote:

Since he co-starred in a couple of ‘‘Harry Potter’’ films, Pattinson said he looked to Daniel Radcliffe as the role model for dealing with success. ‘‘Daniel’s handled it all so beautifully. And he’s had to deal with far more stuff than I likely ever will.’’

Let's just juxtapose that with this: Pattinson Shocked By Bite Request (yes, the story about the seven-year-old). "She went really quiet and she was like, 'Can you bite me?' It wasn't a joke." D: D: D:

(From casirafics: FINALLY, photographic evidence that Seattle happened. Taylor Lautner: the most excited person there.)

Re: the clip on Heroes: Robert Pattinson's Soulless Eyes Demand You Say His Name. "He's either suffering from 'sad arteest' face or sick of parading around in front of the thousands of screaming fan girlies like a child forced to sing at his parents' dinner party. Sadly, it only makes me want to pet that perfectly-coiffed-yet-mussed hair." I don't know, it looks a little chagrined to me.

Entertainment Weekly: Robert Pattinson on what 'Twilight' fans have done to his ego.

From glamolypsequeen: Pattinson Preps for "Twilight" Takeover. "This interview is sort of normal until the very end, when it's golden." I can't get anything to load over there at all, so... boo.

Wait, wait! Here it is on ONTD! ... OH MY GOD.

"I was convinced... that Stephenie was convinced... that she was Bella... and it was like a book that wasn't supposed to be published. And you're reading like, her sort of sexual fantasy. [...] I was like, This woman is mad. She's completely mad, and she's in love with her own fictional creation. And sometimes you'd like feel uncomfortable reading this thing. [...] It's kind of... like a sick pleasure."

I think a whole TEAM of media trainers just exploded.

So. Well then.

It's Twilight Tuesday at MTV! 'Twilight' Cast Signed Shirts And Kissed Fans At First 'Spoilers' Special; ‘Twilight’ Stars Have Hollywood At Their Feet - But Are They Mark Hamills Or Harrison Fords?; What's Kristen Stewart's Favorite Part About Being Bella? 'I Get To Kiss Edward Cullen!' In smaller print: "Actress says she would date Eric if she went to Forks High."

Kristen Stewart in GQ: "The series has this huge fan base. And they have very specific expectations. They're supportive. But they're crazy. [...] It's like we're their pets. If we're bad, they're going to punish us." Kinky.

Vanity Fair: "In response to popular demand, here are outtakes from Vanity Fair’s Twilight photo shoot." I don't even want to know what kind of petitions were involved.

How Twilight's Kissing Scene Got Shot.

Another Twilight Lexicon news/article roundup. And another. Yeah, this is me mentally checking out of Twilight at this point so I can compile, you know, other news.

Just when I get sick of the world, Twilight reminds me that it's always possible to sink lower.

ILU Smeyer and all the crazy Twilighters!

[constancedh.livejournal.com]

Dude, RPattz is going to be scarred for life because of this. Seriously, I'm sort of ashamed at women and girls everywhere right now ("I don't see why women like this..." a lot of us agree, man.)

[rissa333.livejournal.com]

Pattinson has SO got her number. I love how he has no filter when he is interviewed by himself about this ridiculous series.

[velvet-epiphany.livejournal.com]

And I think he's kind of drunk.

HA!

"I was convinced... that Stephenie was convinced... that she was Bella... and it was like a book that wasn't supposed to be published. And you're reading like, her sort of sexual fantasy.

This? This is the best thing EVER. This kid is my idol. (Er, but in a perfectly sane, grown-up way. I mean. Er.)

[yourradiogeek.livejournal.com]

I love that video.

Also, had I realized the Seattle thing was at the Southcenter Mall, I may have called in to work to capture the madness.


Then again, looking at all these pictures....maaaybe not.

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

Just when I thought I couldn't love RPattz more (in a completely non-stalker and sympathetic WTF-Twilighters sort of way)! God - I love that he just called the book a Mary Sue and called Meyer essentially sick for publishing her sexual fantasy. It's just so brilliant and so not what he's supposed to be saying and I wish to God I could be a fly on the wall in the meeting when the media trainers discuss this interview.

Hillarible indeed.

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

*I'm* convinced that Robert Pattinson is very bright and a very good reader. He pretty much summed up a lot of what I've been thinking about *Twilight*, too, with the addition of "Oh, thank GOD nobody is going to publish the stuff I wrote in spiral notebooks when I was 13."

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's had Edward's number ever since he read Midnight Sun (he said). That was when he was like, "He's a manic-depressive and he hates himself and I hate him too." You can say a lot of things about him, but the guy 's got reading comprehension--a lot more than most of the fans, apparently.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I have never seen anyone so desperate to get fired from something. Ever. Every interview seems like a cry for help. Doesn't he realize there is no escaping Twilight?

[anthraxpretzels.livejournal.com]

Can he get fired at this point? The film's already done.

[glamtart.livejournal.com]

While I'm kind of a little sad I didn't go down to the Dallas Galleria today, I'm actually SO glad that I skipped it. Jesus Christ, people.

Oh, and RPattz, you're awesome. Sing it, sister!

[adarraliselle.livejournal.com]

Do you think it's possible that Robert Pattinson is trying to get fired at this point?

[incognito323.livejournal.com]

yes. i think he really wants out of all this batshit. poor guy.

[cmdr-zoom.livejournal.com]

OH MY EDWARD ROBERT GOD, indeed.

Right on the nail.

[sweetestillness.livejournal.com]

God that poor boy look like a nervous wreck. Check out all that pittsweat! He just keeps getting better and better in my mind, though I worry for his own sanity.

[bindabites.livejournal.com]

is your icon from Growing up Cullen?

[queenanthai.livejournal.com]

....I do not understand this fanbase in any portion of my brain whatsofuckingever.

You're going to have to share some of this insanity on MoF next episode. Oooh, mention that "this woman is mad" quote because YOU KNOW IT'S TOTALLY TRUE.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I have, in fact, secured an escort to see Twilight on--well, we're looking at Saturday afternoon at this point. So I will be prepared to discuss the movie, huzzah!

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

However, that could change if, as predicted, the ‘‘Twilight’’ film spawns another franchise, which Hollywood hopes will be a ‘‘Harry Potter’’ for girls.

So... what, the Harry Potter films aren't for girls...? o_O I mean, seriously, WTF?

This woman is mad. She's completely mad, and she's in love with her own fictional creation.

We knew that, Rob, but thanks. [wry smile] I just hope he's being paid bushels of money for this, 'cause damn.

Angie

[ninepointfivemm.livejournal.com]

Because girls totally didn't go to Harry Potter to see Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint and Gary Oldman and Jason Isaacs and Alan Rickman and RPattz.

[anthraxpretzels.livejournal.com]

The win of these actors seems to be inversely proportional to the writing quality of the movie XDDD

[incognito323.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[poppingummies.livejournal.com]

So it was filmed mostly in Portland, right?

Yeah, that's creepy. I'm kind of hoping to see places that I've been in the movie.

In the "How Twilight's Kissing Scene Got Shot" article, I'm pretty sure I've been to the location that the last picture was taken at.

Also- Lol at them not being able to get enough rain XD
WHERE DOES IT RAIN EVERY DAY NOW, STEPHANIE, YOU BITCH. >D

[evilsimon.livejournal.com]

All I can say about the filming in Portland is that I am beyond thrilled that the filming never went anywhere near my college.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

Wow, the pit stains in the video with Ben Lyons. At first I thought it was just in keeping with his apparent distaste for hygiene, but then I realized that it probably has more to do with him probably being little more than a bundle of nerves at this point.

I hope the movie studio is going to pick up the tab for his therapy in the decades to come.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, particularly since he actually looks better groomed than normal otherwise. I actually miss The Hair, sadly.

[monimala.livejournal.com]

RPattz is trying to make sure he doesn't get hired on for any potential sequels, isn't he?

Bless him.

[noodles-morgyn.livejournal.com]

Did you hear the part where he was like, "... it all depends on whether or not I get fired..."?

[incognito323.livejournal.com]

oh poor rpattz. i just want to bundle him away in a hidey hole lined with llama fur and hand him a good beer and tell him everything will be okay. poor guy, he never saw it coming.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

... llama fur?

[oh-so-sparkly.livejournal.com]

Oh, crap. I think I just turned into a Pattinson fangirl.

[blue_ant]

Me too ... And I was trying so hard NOT to be.

[word-herder.livejournal.com]

OMG. That E!Online interview FOR THE WIN.

[r0ck3tsci3ntist.livejournal.com]

"I don't do anything but go to screaming sessions anymore," Pattinson said. "I don't know what my actual life is now."

God, that poor, poor kid.

Media training, yeah, they are trained in what not to say and how not to say it. Most actors, as you might imagine, have diarrhea of the mouth so a lot of times it's in their contracts.

Although, I just love the idea of exploding media trainers. :D

[cesario.livejournal.com]

RPattz is so sharp he's going to cut himself. He's got it exactly right. I kept thinking that Twilight reminded me of the novel I wrote when I was fifteen, and it's for that very reason---it's a wish fulfillment fantasy realized on paper. That's why it pulls you in, even when it horrifies you. Normally it's just certain kinds of fic that gives me that feeling.

Do you get the feeling that maybe he's TRYING to get fired?

[siromygod.livejournal.com]

Same, it was really horrifying because it was like reading fanfic, but at the same time, you can't put the damn thing down. It's the same reason that I read fanfic. Very twisted.

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

Twilight is the gift that keeps on giving. Sorta like herpes.

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

Except I'd be far less ashamed to admit that I had herpes than to admit that I was a SRS BZNESS twifan.

[julian-black.livejournal.com]

Pattinson: "I went into it when it was a trilogy...I signed on for the trilogy. But I guess it's all dependent on...I guess if I get fired..."

LOL SO OBVIOUSLY HOPING TO GOD HE GETS FIRED.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The sad thing is, he so obviously won't be, can't be fired. I mean, they've got 3000 fangirls breaking down doors for him, even if he's Edward to them, but that's it--he's Edward to them now. If they recast, there would be riots in the street.

[brachiosaurid.livejournal.com]

I am so in love with that video. He is hysterical and you can tell he may hate everything involved with being in Twilight.

Also, I think he may want to be fired, so he doesn't have to ever ever film Breaking Dawn. I honestly do not blame him.

[quitesometime.livejournal.com]

i know, he distinctly brings up the possibility of being fired, where someone else would mention money problems or something.
