And now, to get back to actual work

[cleolinda]

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.)

That jewelry is fugly; I wouldn't pay Dollar Tree prices for it, let alone those prices Amazon's charging.

DREAM TEAM FO LYFE.

also, steven strait for jacob. everyone agrees on this.



and i asked my friend where her friend got the tickets for the red carpet premiere (she's walking it, remember?) and apparently mtv? i know they were holding a big contest, and it'd really suck if she won the huge one. we live about 45 minutes out of LA. |:



ETA: hahahahaha the amazon jewelry has it under toys&games. OH TWILIGHT YOU ARE NOT EVEN COUNTED AS JEWELRY.

ETA2: also, the cover for smeyer's twilight saga is out? (http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Saga-Official-Guide/dp/0316043125/ref=pd_sim_t_4)

and i refuse to buy the jewelry off of amazon. if i'm going to buy their crap, i am going to buy it when thenoblecollection.com makes it. (i got their magazine in the mail yesterday, and the new hbp props are lovely!)

[fangulation.livejournal.com]

I don't want to admit it but I will: that jewelry isn't half bad looking. Kind of hokey, but not bad.

[anthraxpretzels.livejournal.com]

I can't help but think both of them are very, very stoned in this (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gawker/2008/11/thelight.jpg) picture...

[bya-san.livejournal.com]

I live in the Boston area and haven't heard much about Saugus either, so...let's hope that ended relatively well.

Speaking of Boston, the front page of the movies section of today's Boston Globe had a freaking HUMONGOUS picture of RPattz on it that scared me just a bit.

[quitesometime.livejournal.com]

also, tyler posey for jacob would have been preferable. i forgot about him om nom nom

[marginaliana]

Interestingly, the reviews for the jewelry are filled with people going "a great deal for $20!" and then the Amazon price is $143, so I think there must be some weird price fluctuation going on.

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

Okay, the lady giving NReed her baby to hold? I can just see this woman thinking "POOR ROSALIE LET ME DO SOMETHING LOVELY FOR HER" with this empty look on her face as she fails to separate real life from fantasy.

I watched bits of the Much Music interview and was mostly just laughing at the TV. Interviews always suck for the singers/actors because it's a horribly loud environment, but this took the cake. The weather SUCKED yesterday and I couldn't believe how many screaming tweens were out in the rain! Without umbrellas!

At the point when the VJ doing the interview gave some movie to the actors to give out to the crowd, I had a vision of RPattz getting pulled in to the crowd NEVER TO RETURN. D: Smooth move, Much Music... send him straight into the crazy hoards...

fails to separate real life from fantasy.

Which seems to be a recurring theme in the Twilight fandom.

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

The prices for the jewelry don't make any sense. Read the reviews for the bracelet: one of them says she paid $20 for it and it was good at that price. Another says she had to order three before she got one she could wear, because of the first two, one was broken and one was poorly painted. Why she didn't just return it is one thing, because these are probably teenagers who don't realize you can do that, but why would anyone order three of something that's a hundred and fifty bucks if the first one arrived broken and the second was shoddily made?

The price must've been recently artificially inflated due to the madness, is the only thing I can come up with. They don't seem to have gotten around to it for the manjewelry, though.

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

I think they're saying it's only worth $20? Maybe?

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

(Victoria the Bad Vamp. I covet her hair).

And rightly so. She is very very hot. Also, she better be wearing the "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirt in the movie.

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

Abso-fucking-lutely.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

BUT IT HAS THE CULLEN FAMILY CREST! ARE YOU NOT DAZZLED?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeee.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

Re: the Carlisle pics

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO PETER FACINELLI'S HOTNESS.

What. Just. That is a man who should never ever be blond.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, that would make more sense.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

HYPMOTIZED!!!! I'LL TAKE A DOZEN. OF EACH!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's a whole bunch of not making sense going on there.

The sad thing is, I keep looking at the manbracelet going, "You know, I think I would actually like a wristband like that. Just... not with the Cullen crest on it."

(I wonder if there's a Jones family crest? That would be kind of hilarious, to get shiny important Jones family crest jewelry, since 1) my real name isn't Jones and 2) there's got to be a million billion Joneses, so it's not like it's a particularly exclusive crest.)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I know, dude. I spent five months going WHAT? And now... I've spent so much time looking at Twilight crap that now... the blond is starting to look hot. I'm coming down with Stockholm Syndrome again, I think. Like the time I started thinking what a cute name "Renesmee" is, 12,000 pages into Breaking Dawn.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I've decided that I'm going to find or make some Jones family crest jewelry. You know, because I'm not actually named Jones and it's not a terribly exclusive crest.

Also? If you look at the movie pictures, all five Cullen kids are always wearing their big flashy family crest jewelry. No wonder everyone at school hates them.

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

Oh christ, I cannot stop laughing at all those photos of the Flying Cullemazov Brothers ninjaing about all kickassily. The dumbness of this movie is going to be EPIC and I am ridiculously excited.

And the lady giving poor heartbroken childless Rosalie Nikki her baby to hold is a level of creepy right up there with the little kidlet asking RPattz to please please bite her.

(They could work very well together, actually - Rosalie cuddles the babies and then Edward eats them! OM NOM NOM FILET OF BABY SANDWICH!)

Although I'm sure that's only one of many.

[princesskirsty.livejournal.com]

for just £120.99 you can own this masterpiece (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_1&listing_id=15497212), i couldn't help but LOL a little at her pretty bad english. sad cuz her jewellery is nice, but her choice in reading isn't as great.

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

I'm killing time before I go to see Quantum of Solace so I googled the Jones family crest for the hell of it. It's pretty cool looking actually (http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/jones-family-crest.htm). Although I think it would be more appropriate for the Cullens, what with the bleeding lion and all, than whatever that nonsense is on the jewelry.
