cleolinda | And now, to get back to actual work

Ah, it's time for the Twi-spam. I haven't heard anything in particular about the Tour of Terror events from Friday, so maybe they came off without incident? Or perhaps, as I feared that other time, there were actually no survivors to report back. Even the Saugus article just kind of cuts off before they really get to anything.

Somewhere out there, there's the Twilight equivalent of the Cloverfield video--shaky-cam, rampaging hordes, a brief glimpse of The Hair (fangirl parasites a-cling) wandering through the food court, horrified screaming, blood everywhere--video cuts off.

Twilight premiere on Monday, info for those who will attend. This is not going to end well.

Collider Posts Cullen Family Interview. Hey! Let's bask in some crazy not directed at Robert Pattinson!

Kellan Lutz: I heard a voice that I didn’t know and I asked who it was and they were like ‘Emmett, we’re your fans’ and they were like shaking. I could just hear them shaking and I was like ‘Oh God, hold on. Yeah, one second’ I threw some clothes on as fast as I could, opened the door and it was two lovely ladies holding a giant basket full of goodies for all of us.

[...]

Nikki Reed: I had a woman ask me if I could hold her baby for a little while because she really wanted Rosalie to hold her baby.
Peter Facinelli: Yeah, that was weird.

Nikki Reed: Yeah, I realized later in the third book, I think it’s chapter seven in the third book, it talks about how Rosalie really wanted to be a mom* and have a very simple life. She never had the choice to become a vampire. I don’t know if I’m reading into it too much but this woman came up to me and was like ‘You can hold my baby’ and I was like ‘Okay’ and I’m carrying around this six month old child for like thirty minutes.
Peter Facinelli: You were carrying it for a while. I was like 'Nikki You have to give the baby back'.

[...]

Peter Facinelli: I was in Hawaii, floating on this deck. You could swim out to this deck and just kind of lay in the sun. I had my two-year-old daughter just napping on my shoulder and some girl swam out there and said ‘Are you Dr. Carlisle Cullen?’ in the middle of nowhere in Hawaii and I said ‘yeah.’ It was really funny.

[...]

Q: Did any of your get any alone time with Stephenie to talk about your characters?
Kellan Lutz: I think we all did. She was always there for us. Hey, what can I say. She found my hotel room.

I think he's kidding about that last part.

You know, there's a lot of Twilight-related things that have given me severe D: face, but I think we've hit a new low: NINETY DOLLARS FOR ROSALIE'S NECKLACE? A HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOR ESME'S BRACELET? I didn't even know Esme HAD a bracelet. And none of this is from the books, of course.

(But the whole set of ~*Cullen Estate Jewelry*~ is $100? Someone here can't math.)

(Buy your long-suffering boyfriend some man jewelry today! I'm sure he's not tired of hearing about how he's not enough like Edward Cullen at all.)

Twilight Cast @ Much Music ("Interview Rundown = Girls Scream, Cast Looks Scared, Kristen pretends to care about the Book, Robert & Kristen run their fingers through their hair, Perez Hilton asks if Robert is single, The screaming makes it impossible to hear most of the interview"). Official MuchMusic blog post and video.

New Twilight clip. Sadly, this is not "the baseball scene" as advertised. This is the Bad Vamps showing up to interrupt the vampire baseball. And it's not like they didn't give away a good bit of the vampire baseball in the trailer, so I don't know what they're saving it for.

(Speaking of which, I forgot--I ran auto-cap a couple of days ago and pulled some screencaps from the b-roll footage. Just from vampire baseball and the ballet studio of doom, though. I just love how silly movie-making looks from the behind-the-scenes POV, without any of the effects and all the wires showing. [I would love to see some more BTS footage from Watchmen, for example.] Also, Peter Facinelli is adorable with the sliding. Also-also, Alice [who comes OUT OF NOWHERE at the bottom here] is, once again, awesome. WARNING: SPOILERS FOR PLOT AND LULZ.)

En français, s'il vous plaît! "I did not know it was possible, but the dubbing is sooooo bad it makes the already corny lines even worse."
