ALERT ALERT eh

It's not Tonner Alice. ) :

(Wow, Twitpic, way to go with the weird-ass thumbnails.)

I think this is meant to be Bryce Dallas Howard/Eclipse!Victoria. Which makes me sad, because I thought Rachelle Lefevre was pretty fierce. Good job on Alice's hair, though.

(Speaking of which, this just in: There's another new Eclipse still, and--I don't know who on this production hates Peter Facinelli and Jackson Rathbone, but someone hates them bad.)


Meanwhile, I think I'm sliding into a depressive phase again. This is a lot less grim than it sounds; it's almost more of a physical problem than a mental one, as it makes me feel very draggy and unmotivated, which is kind of THE LAST THING I NEED RIGHT NOW. I mean, I know there are ways to cope with depression--medication, therapy, exercise, sunlight, vitamins--and I'm pretty much using all of them. I'm just saying, I think we're going into that direction again.


ETA: Oh, the Resurrectionist says that he can get 94% of Betsy 2 and 100% of Betsy 1 for $315. Which is what I was expecting, and less than I had feared. I can probably even scrape it together, even.


ETA 2: ~Dramatic~ headshots. It is just an Eclipse kind of day, apparently. I'm going to try not to think too much about what June will be like.

ETA 3: Come with me if you want to dazzle.

Man...I kinda want Victoria coat. Its awesomely epic!

[sun-star-n-moon.livejournal.com]

actually scratch that. I want Vicoria's whole outfit.

[smands.livejournal.com]

Thank God Barbie's feet are no longer the tortured, toe-pointed stiletto feet of my childhood. She was one step from ancient Chinese foot-binding. Although I do think Alice would choose way more fierce shoes. ^_^

Is anyone else picking up the Tom Cruise!Lestat vibe from Jasper?

[r-a-black.livejournal.com]

Oh snap. I am now.

[dwg.livejournal.com]

That production still...what. Is Peter Facinelli a mannequin? If so, that's terrifying. I'm going to see if I can work some photoshop magic on this to make it be...not this. Possibly with zombies.

[leia1912.livejournal.com]

He does look like a Ken doll, doesn't he? That hair is more unreal than the ongoing miracle that is the RPattz Hair!

[cupcakery.livejournal.com]

Looks almost like they want to give Jasper Matthew Gray Gubler's hair. Which is really weird.

[munin-and-hugin.livejournal.com]

I've been of the opinion they're long lost brothers since Jacksper guest starred on Criminal Minds. Maybe the makeup dept was trying to highlight that? But in a really bad way?

[snacky]

Peter Facinelli doesn't even look like he's alive. I don't mean that in a vampire-y way, I mean he looks like a waxwork. Or an animatronic version of himself. WHAT IN THE WORLD.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously. Have you seen the actual Madame Tussaud waxwork of Robert Pattinson? Because... it's a similar aesthetic.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the depressive phase, but at least you know it will be over sooner or later. :-(

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It may have even been going on for a couple of weeks now, it's hard to tell. It's so easy to rationalize away feeling bad as "Well, of course I feel this way, because [whatever]."

[lunaspec-gimmy.livejournal.com]

Is the make up artist a drag queen? I can't actually think of another explanation. Even Kellan Lutz looks like a woman in that picture. The eyeliner...the lipstick...
I would recommend jumping on the bed as a short term solution to lack of motivation. It always makes me feel better, even though I will admit that my problems are more with attention deficit tendencies than depression. But hey, it may be worth a try...

[r-a-black.livejournal.com]

Those wigs actually make them look like living barbie dolls... or ken dolls, whatever.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

I kind of love Victoria's whole look. Especially the coat. Alice, on the other hand seems to be missing a nose.

Be good to yourself.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

To be fair, Ashley Greene really does seem to have a pretty small nose.

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

Alice! I'll be getting her. Character aside, there are so few cute, short-haired Barbies. I'd want her even if I didn't like the character.

Hell, I'll probably get Victoria, too. I love the outfit.

The first three Mattel dolls were either boring or suck (ha, punny), but these two I love.

[nb2000.livejournal.com]

Maybe if Barbie!Alice sells well Tonner will get a move on with their Alice. Maybe.

Ummm, at least Jasper's hair looks a bit shorter than it did in that still of them in the forest (with the matching denim outfits)? Yeah that's the only good thing I can say about that still.

[leia1912.livejournal.com]

I suspect BarbieAlice will sell really well, not just because she's Alice and there are no competing Alice dolls yet (*shoots glare at Tonner*), but because she's brunette and she has seriously, seriously cute hair. I can see little girls begging for this doll, not just fangirls.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, Peter Facinelli is FRIGHTENING there. He looks like an actual wax figure.

[mudpuppy83.livejournal.com]

Wow, between the promise of some honestly kick-ass werewolf-on-vampire violence and the hilariously awful hair, make-up, and outfits--I am no longer dreading Eclipse. The love triangle may still be insipid, but I won't be bored!

[bad-habit.livejournal.com]

The hair on Peter Facinelli! The face! The... *flails* how do we know he's not a waxwork stand-in? And poor Jackson. They were supposed to be beautiful beyond words! And now, whilst definitely being beyond words, I wouldn't call them beautiful.

Also calling him the Resurrectionist makes it sound so wonderfully sinister. Does his work involve a lot of lightning? (:

[leia1912.livejournal.com]

I sincerely believe Jackson did something that ticked off the hair/makeup department royally, and ever since then, there's been a game of "How Much Can We F-- Up Jasper." Each movie, they're one-upping themselves with hair horrors.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's a sad day when we can look back and go, "Man, but he looked so good in the first movie."

[maxineofarc.livejournal.com]

-I don't know who on this production hates Peter Facinelli and Jackson Rathbone, but someone hates them bad.)

I think it's their makeup artist.

[cmdr-zoom.livejournal.com]

and Alice continues to be the most awesome character in the whole damn series. Bella who?

[vega-pleiades.livejournal.com]

I'm still pretty sure that they're punishing Jackson Rathbone for losing his script.

As for Peter Facinelli, I dunno, maybe he was just too likable and the production people realised they needed some Jacob-style character asssasination. But nothing can destroy Carlisle, so they just settled for replacing him with a giant animated doll.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He sounded kind of British in the last trailer? That's... new? I don't even know?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Have those portraits been submitted to Photoshop Disasters yet? Because DAMN, that is some ham-fisted work there.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I love how the fan-made posters and graphics are consistently better than anything Summit can come up with.

[ms-creant.livejournal.com]

What even is Esmee's hair (http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo68/twilightxchange/Eclipse/04/twilightxchange-eclipse-34516.png)?
It frightens me more than the attempted withering stares of the rest of the cast. D=

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, that, and I'm pretty sure she wants to eat my face.

As someone pointed out, it's like she's wearing Bella's wig and Jasper's wearing Esme's.

[mamapduck.livejournal.com]

Bella should not be out-hotting Carlisle. Also, they FAIL with Emily. The scars don't come close to what they ought to be.

[emmy-scarlet.livejournal.com]

See, I rather expected the FAIL with Emily. It's the "Phantom of the Opera" effect. It's one thing to read about horrible, horrific, and other H words sort of injuries. But actually seeing them up on screen, especially a big screen, often seems to be something that film makers either aren't comfortable with, or think the audience won't be comfortable with.

Thus you get the "he has a third degree sunburn, to arms, to arms!" And now the inflamed veins of great horror.

[syrika182.livejournal.com]

Well, we now have more evidence of Growing Up Cullen, if you look at the table in the background.

Terribly expensive modern art?

Or Edward's creations with Esme's pottery wheel?

I vote for the latter.

[linda-lupos.livejournal.com]

Did you see the chairs? And the lamps?

Where do they FIND these setpieces?! It's weird, it wouldn't really work, you'd think, but somehow it... does. Kind of.

[vivian-lake.livejournal.com]

The moment this Alice appears in my country (okay, in my town - I'm not going to Moscow just to buy a doll), I'm getting her.
(No, I can't simply buy her online. There are lot of reasons why.)

[whisperwords.livejournal.com]

As lame as everything looks, I'm absolutely delighted that they're letting Emmett have hair for this one. I was always a little sad that Kellan's hair was so short before, considering he naturally has the perfect hair for the part. Aahhh, Emmett.

[trampchic.livejournal.com]

ey, look at that, someone shares my pet peeve!
