Is it November yet?

Okay, I think we've established the fact that I'm not Team Jacob. But I am getting excited for New Moon. In case you've been living under a rock, here's the newest trailer. And just think, you didn't have to sit through Band Slam to watch it.

As I said earlier, I'm not a big fan of the Jacob/Bella stuff, but this gave me goosebumps. Especially the end. I don't plan on getting him upset.
Kristen looks drop dead gorgeous throughout the trailer. And I think Jacob might get on my nerves less once he cuts the hair/loses the wig. Dakota Fanning looks so creepy and beautiful, yes? So does Edi Gathegi/Laurent! And Robward only used his constipated face once! I'm so proud.

Speaking of Rob, you might have seen these pictures floating around the interwebs:

First of all, can I say, I'm so jealous that they are at a Kings of Leon concert. I'm dying to see them live. But I digress; shippers look at these pictures and see clear evidence that the two of them are together (and believe that they are kissing in the second picture). Non-shippers believe that they are just talking closely because they are at a loud concert.

Here's my take (if you don't want to hear it, don't read my blog you wanker). I may be a shipper, but I'm not easily convinced of these things. I don't believe you would normally speak that closely with someone you were just friends with. And I also believe that Summit is dying for them to keep the fact that they are together a secret. So anytime you see them at any official Twilight function they always have Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed, or some other poor schmuck shoved in between them. When you see Rob and Kristen outside of official functions they are often hanging out together. Whether or not there are others with them, they seem to be in their own little world.

They know that everyone is gossiping about them and wondering if they are together. They know that Summit would rather them not confirm everyone's suspicions (if you need any confirmation of that fact, just check out the videos of Comic-Con in which reporters are instructed to keep their questions to the movie and not ask about anyone's private life). I think that they feel stifled by Summit's request that they keep things quiet and this is their way of rebelling. It would appear that they are giving a middle finger to Summit, and for that, I applaud them. But just because they don't care whether people think they are together doesn't mean they are getting married. It doesn't even really mean that they're really together. It could just mean they are trying to piss off the studio. But I do believe that they are together.

When you get right down to it, we're all just speculating. That's just my two cents.

I'm counting down the days until November 20th (93 more to go). But I have something else exciting coming up this week. Tomorrow I'm getting on a plane with Mr. Bunny and my parents to go up to Washington. In less than 48 hours I will be in Forks, Washington. I will obviously have tons of pictures to share when I get back.

Have a great week!

Love,

Elle Bunny

You Must Watch This Immediately: Planet Unicorn

How has this been on the interwebs for 2 years without coming to my attention? It's such a jewel.

Lovely. I want to live on Planet Unicorn with Feathers, Cadillac and Tom Cruise.

Have a great day!

New Moon Monday: A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

There's not much to report today. I'm thinking that this may be my last New Moon Monday for awhile-after this I will be doing Twilight posts more intermittently for awhile until we get closer to New Moon's premiere.
Here is a video taken by one of the extras on the set of The Runaways. Towards the end you can see Kristen rock out as Joan Jett.

Impressive, although I wish we could have heard her sing. I admire her for taking on this role so completely-she's learned how to play the guitar, and she's gotten a lot of crap about her hair the whole time. But I guess that is what being an actor is. She certainly looks the part; and she looks tall despite being teeny-tiny. One thing she doesn't look-pregnant. Check out this article from the Wall Street Journal on Harry Potter and Rival Teen Franchise (and the scary picture they had with it). It compares Twilight and my new obsession, Harry Potter, which is something I hate. But it is focusing on how the success of Twilight is forcing Harry Potter to focus more on the romance to ensure that the teenage girls will be satisfied. Apparently, now that Twilight was successful, they are finally taking teenage girls seriously as an audience that goes to see movies multiple times and taking into account that movies should be made for them. While this is true, I think they would be wise to remember that there were also lots of adult women (and men for that matter) that went to see Twilight multiple times. The same has been true for all of the Harry Potter movies and will surely be the case with the one coming out on Wednesday. But it's never a bad thing to bring romance onto the screen and I can't wait to see this movie. I think the only way they could make these movies do better at the box office is by bringing Cedric Diggory back from the dead. Interesting article, though.

Here's an awesome video of Bruno being interviewed about celebrities. Someone from the Twilight cast comes up. Hilarity ensues:

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

I need to see Bruno stat. Sacha Baron Cohen is my own personal brand of comedy heroin. Here are some pics of Rob in a suit on the Remember Me set in NYC. And here's Pierce Brosnan (who plays Rob's dad) looking dapper in a suit on set. Perfect casting. When I was seven, we went to California on vacation for Thanksgiving. We went to a restaurant called Alice's in Santa Monica and Pierce Brosnan was there. My mom was quite impressed. I didn't know who he was because, well, I was seven and he wasn't James Bond yet. But I digress; the point is, Pierce is a beautiful man, and I once ate a meal in the same room as that man. And now he's playing Rob's dad. This makes me happy (I realize that it also makes me pathetic).

According to E!'s Mark Malkin, Rob will be gracing the cover of Vanity Fair sometime in the near future. Can't wait for that one!
Don't forget to check out the New Moon panel at Comic Con on Thursday, July 23rd at 1:45 PM Pacific Time. It should be online and if last year's Twilight panel tells us anything it will be full of screaming girls. Rob and Kristen are rumored to be attending, although I won't believe it until I see them there. Have we forgotten this?
Based on last years panel I would have bet money that Rob would have given up his Van Morrison collection before attending this thing again. If he shows up, Summit better buy him a boat And if KStew attends, they should buy her an island, Carlisle-style (remember Isle Esme?). She's the one who has to deal with all the fan hate and pregnancy rumors.

Have a great New Moon Monday!

Love,
Elle Bunny

Bummer Summer?

Has anybody else been completely bummed out by the news and television this summer? At this point the only thing getting me through to Labor Day is So You Think You Can Dance. Everything else gives me a major case of the sads or the bitchface.
Exhibit A:
Jon & Kate Plus 8.

I thought I was over these bitches and fine with them getting divorced and going off into non-televised oblivion. But then they showed the footage of the kids when they were babies and I'm not made of stone, so it brought a tear to my eye. And now I'm kind of curious what will happen when they come back from hiatus. I stand by my previous statement that Jon & Kate Plus 8 is more depressing than Intervention.
But at least I have The Little Couple to tide me over. I've decided that if the LC (as I like to call the Little Couple) were average sized, I would be annoyed by them. But because they are little, I like them and think they are cute. Kind of a reverse discrimination. An old friend of mine is scared to death of midgets, so I guess this just kind of evens things out for them.
Exhibit B:
Rob Pattinson keeps getting attacked by fangirls and taxi-cabs.

This bums me out and makes me worried for his safety. Knowing his fear of being stabbed I'm sure he his currently in his own personal version of hell. And KStew is stuck far away on the west coast, with this hair: and giving us further proof as to why she was picked to play Bella Swan:

I always laugh when I see someone fall, then I feel bad for laughing and end up crying. But that uncomfortable cry where you're laughing the whole time and feel like you are going to pee in your pants. Does anyone else feel this way?
Exhibit C:
Real Housewives of New Jersey. It's over. No more table flipping for at least another six months. Yes, they are currently showing the reunion shows, but the ladies don't seem as fired up as they did before, although I'm looking forward to the 2nd part of the finale; looks like there will be some major dramz there.

So yeah, other than that: Economic downturn, everybody seems to be losing their job and their house, North Korea is threatening to bomb Hawaii, people are being killed in Iran for protesting the fact their votes were totally ignored in an election that was fixed. All in all, I would say it's been a crazy summer. But as Americans, we are conditioned to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and find a solution for each problem. We could always send Danielle from RHONJ over to North Korea; I guarantee the majority of the leadership over there would give up and kill themselves after spending 20 minutes listening to that woman complain about how Dina must have been the one who revealed the fact that she was written about in Cop Without A Badge.

And I think the best things we could do for the citizens of Iran is force the Ayatollah Khomeini and Ahmadinejad to both marry Kate Gosselin. Chances are, they would both give up as well (they may even look into moving into Trump Towers).Another note on Peace in the Middle East: if they really want to find Osama bin Laden, they should just sic Twilighters (especially Twilight Moms) on him. Tell them that Rob will make out with them if the find Osama. I would bet someone $10 (the only expendable money I have at the moment) that he would be found within 2 weeks.
And if all else fails, it's hard to beat the ultimate healing powers of So You Think You Can Dance.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Youtubesday: Facercise

Michael K recently introduced me to Carol Maggio who is the creator of Facercise (she served as his Hot Slut Of The Day! last Wednesday). This is a video from Everything is Terrible of Carol showing her exercise technique.

This is amazing. I can't believe this exists. Even more shocking is that the "rich and famous" are paying thousands of dollars for her to teach them this shit. Not only that, she appeared on "Geraldo" and the "Mike & Matty Show." OMG, I loved that show. And the theme song (does anybody else remember it? Call me if you would like me to sing it to you. Too bad I'm not able to find any videos on YouTube of that show. But rest assured, I will be singing the theme song to myself for the rest of the day.

Austinites: What do you think the chances are that Carol is related to Judy Maggio? I think it is likely they are sisters, or at least cousins. No wonder Judy's face is in such good shape.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Youtubesday: Emo Kid is throwing Slow-Mo Dove at my face

It's very likely that you've already seen this video or one of the other Literal 80's videos. But if you haven't seen this one yet, you should watch it as it is the best of the bunch.

I could watch this on repeat all day.

RPattz update:

First, the bad news: the Twihards went effing crazy in NYC yesterday and attacked him on the street when he was in between filming scenes of his new movie Remember Me. Here's the video.

Bitches are crazy. Poor Bert. I wouldn't blame him if he became a hermit after all of this Twilight stuff is over with. Second piece of bad news: Tombert will not be starring in this movie together. The part of Aidan will be played by this guy:

Not bad, but not how I pictured him. Because I'm a dork I pictured Kellan Lutz the whole time I read the script. I was thrilled at the idea of Tom playing Aidan, even though it was quite a switch. This actor is reportedly named Tate Ellington. Check out his IMDB here.
The good news: Lot of pics of Rob looking happy and healthy.
Apparently they decided to just let Rob wear his own clothes to play Tyler. Either that or the costume department isn't very creative.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Nada Mucho to Report this New Moon Monday

I have to say, there isn't much to talk about this week.

First of all, there is this video of behind-the-scenes New Moon footage.

I'm getting excited! This looks awesome. But I wish they could employ a vocal coach for Taylor Lautner. His voice annoys the shit out of me. Otherwise, I'm super impressed by his dedication to the part and how great he looks in all the footage from the movie so far.

There have been rumors that Tom Sturridge might actually be playing the role of Aidan in Remember Me, but still no confirmation as of yet. That would be epic. To understand the love many of us have for Rob and his relationship with his BFF Tom, check this out:

Oh, goodness. That video never fails to amuse me. If you would like to follow their bromance, come join the hothobolove club. I love Tom (I also love this picture

because it looks like Rob and Tom are holding hands when really Tom is about a foot in front of Rob). If you haven't seen Tom in anything yet, you should definitely check him out in Murderous Intent (alternate title: Like Minds). That movie is awesomely weird. Oh, check out this video of Rob pwning a Paparazzi.

Robert in New York & the Paparazzi
by officialspunkransom

I feel a weird sense of pride at the way he handled that whole situation (if you couldn't understand it, here is a transcription of the dialogue in this video).

Pap-What?

Rob-What, what are you saying what for?

Pap-I'm just trying to get a photo of you.

Rob-(Laughs) Go away. (gets close then walks ahead) I'm gonna keep doing it.

Pap-You're too close.

Rob-Too close? (Laughs) Stop bumping into people.(Side note-nice of Rob to be concerned for the safety of others when he's being stalked) Its gonna be like this all night. alright?

Pap-Alright I got you already.

Rob-You gonna leave me alone?

Pap-Okay I will.

Rob-Alright?

Pap-Alright. Okay. You haven't seen me before. First time I got here.

Rob-What do mean you've never seen me before? It doesn't matter. You already got a photo.

Pap-Okay I'll let you go. Okay have a good night.

Creepy Stalkarazzi. But good for Rob for giggling about it the whole time and handling it calmly.

There are still some rumblings about Rob and Kris, and there is even a video out there of Ashley Greene responding to questions about their relationship and possibly confirming/denying it (depending on how you look at it). You can watch the video here, but I don't want to post it on my blog and I would caution against watching it. The whole interview is based on faulty information, as the Emma Watson interview that the reporter brings up was completely fabricated by a Russian magazine and was a poor English translation on top of that. Now that's just bad journalism.

KStew cut and dyed her hair for The Runaways, the movie in which she plays Joan Jett.

I admire her for actually cutting her hair instead of wearing a crappy wig. But I'm not gonna lie--she had fierce hair before

(I like the whole messy bed-head look) and this psuedo-mullet thing--while it's necessary for the role, it's not quite as becoming. But I actually like the color-it brings out her eyes. But my favorite look for Kristen has always been the blonde hair.

Even though she's a natural brunette she is just meant to be a blonde in my opinion. She's been spending a lot of time with Dakota Fanning, who in addition to playing Jane in New Moon is also playing Cherie in The Runaways

I think that their friendship is adorable, but don't you wonder what they talk about? I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently and I've narrowed their possible conversation topics down to either boys and unicorns or the economic crisis. I honestly don't have a clue what they talk about (probably growing up in the industry and/or the two movies they are working on together), but I'd love to be a fly on the wall during those convos.

In important news for Austinites, Little Ashes is coming to the Arbor on July 17. Not gonna lie, I want to go see this movie for the first time by myself. Because it seems like it could either be really funny or really sad or both. It also seems like it could be uncomfortable. And I giggle anytime I see him with the mustache. After all the interviews I've seen of Rob I had a hard time buying him as a vampire, so I'm guessing it might be harder to buy him as Salvador Dali.

Anywho, that's all I've got for today. Have a good one!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Youtubesday: The Brit Pack

There are a group of musicians that have become very popular over the last 6 months because they are friends of Rob Pattinson. There's Sam Bradley, who cowrote "Never Think" with Rob and became friends with him when they were 12 and Rob was the new kid in school. Here's a video of Sam singing "Too Far Gone (Never Think)".

Pretty amazing, no? Then there's Bobby Long, who co-wrote "Let Me Sign". He's got two songs on iTunes and he's pretty amazing. Here's a video of him singing one of those singles, "Left to Lie" (this video also features an interview)

And finally, the other co-writer of "Let Me Sign", Marcus Foster, who is my favorite member of the Brit Pack (barring RPattz, of course). Even if you aren't a fan of Twilight, if you are a fan of music, you should check this out. It's really beautiful.

Bobby Long and Marcus Foster are coming to Austin in August. I think I might spontaneously combust, I'm so excited. They are really great musicians, and I'm glad that they are being noticed. Even if they are initially noted because of their association with Rob, they each have the talent to carry them far in the music industry (as does Rob, if he ever wanted to pursue the whole music thing). I will end with a video of him improvising on the piano (this is from the Twilight DVD).

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Youtubesday: So You Think You Can Dance: Forks Style

This combines two of my favorite things-Twilight and the ridiculousity that is "So You Think You Can Dance."

This video slays me. Pun intended.

If you have some free time today you should go here and check out some of the videos of the cast of Twilight backstage at the MTV Movie Awards. Here's my favorite:

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Oh, and this video was made of awesome:

MTV Shows

I hereby nominate Andy Samberg for permanent host of the MTV Movie Awards.

Have a great day!

Youtubesday: Play him off, keyboard cat!!!

If you haven't seen this yet, then let me introduce you to my friend Keyboard Cat.

Charming fellow, isn't he? This song has been in my dreams several nights of the last few weeks.

It also haunts many an episode of Golden Girls ever since I saw this video.

Bobby Bones even made it to his website (who knew?). This=epic fail.

Did you know that Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table because he can only recognize the element of surprise? (that's all I've got).

Sometimes I wish Keyboard Cat was around to play me off when I trip and fall trying to get up from my desk at work. Or yesterday, after a long day at work, when I went to a cake tasting with my sister and her fiance and my mom. We were talking about cake design and I said that they should use a mammogram when I really meant Monogram. In my head, I hear the Keyboard Cat music.

One final thought: I think Keyboard Cat and Spaghetti Cat should get married and have keyboard-playing, spaghetti-eating kittens. Don't you agree?

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

New Moon Monday: Holy Crow, this guy has been in Oscar Nominated Movies!

Michael Sheen Joins 'New Moon' Cast--aren't we lucky?? I'm so excited. He must be getting paid handsomely. I am happy to see the role of Aro (who I love) go to someone who actually has cred. He is no stranger to Vampire movies though, having played Lucian in the many Underworld films. For those who haven't the movies (me neither!) here is a character summary- Lucian is the first of his kind, he can change into the wolf form at will. He becomes the leader of the Lycans (werewolves) when Victor finds out that he and his daughter Sonja are in love and decides to kill him. Lucian starts a vicious war against the Vampires beginning when Viktor kills Sonja and their unborn child.
Glad to see he's joined the Vampire team. I think he can probably pull off creepy pretty well, which is important when you're playing Aro. Plus, he's used to playing men of power, having played Tony Blair in The Queen.
So let's see: so far we have Jamie Campbell-Bower as Caius and Michael Sheen as Aro; I wonder who will play Marcus? My money is on someone British (odds are based on the fact that the first two are) and not very famous. Having Michael Sheen is a major win, and Marcus isn't a major player, so my guess is it will be someone I've never heard of. I have to say, I'm happy with this news!
In other news, I just discovered this NO GOOD TV interview with the cast of Adventureland. It's lovely. I love this interviewer. (Beware--lots of cursing--and giggling)

You might remember this interview:

So funny. Anyway, here are some pics from filming in Vancouver.

Aww.

Rob, I can only imagine how happy you are with the improvements in your makeup. Thank goodness-no more lipstick! I heave a sigh of relief for you.

Oh, Taylor, what lovely, flowing locks you have.
Normal kids. I love you guys!
I also love you, Mike Newton! Do you want to, you know, go to prom with me?
Bella's holding a camera. Does this mean that Charlie giving Bella a camera for her birthday actually made it to the script? It does look to be a digital camera, so I guess Edward just erases the pictures from the actual camera in addition to hiding her photo album (or the album could have been eliminated altogether). So intriguing. I like that there is intrigue about this movie. I like that the set is closed and there is a lot of secret-keeping. It's nice that everything isn't spoiled yet (although I'm sure there will be more soon). I don't think it's necessary for the Twilight mafia to be everywhere and I admire Chris Weitz for trying to keep us guessing and keep us surprised.

Have a great New Moon Monday!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Pam Beesly is Friday's Fun Fearless Female

Oh, Pam. You certainly are this Friday's Fun Fearless Female. You took a chance and left Dunder Mifflin to join Michael in his newest ridiculous venture, the Michael Scott Paper Company.

Now you are stuck working with Michael and Ryan, the douchiest of all douchebags (did anybody else want to throw-up when he was saying Pam was a 6 in NYC but a 7 in Scranton?). And you all share an office that is really more of a closet.

You had a very Elle Bunny-esque break down at the end of the first of two new episodes last night; you talked about how you don't know what you were thinking leaving that perfectly cushy job; you got bored, but that's not a reason to leave a job where you had health benefits and sat 10 feet away from your incredibly cute fiance. You just got bored.

I feel you, Pam. I'm bored, too. But I'm also terrified of leaving my incredibly cushy job with great health insurance for the scary grown-up world out there where people have to dress in fancy clothes to go to work. And this episode just reaffirmed my feelings that I should never leave my current desk (which in truth, is not even my own desk, but rather, a portion of a long table which I share with 20 other people). It really is scary out there. And if I'm not careful, I could end up working in a closet, sitting at a poker table with my current boss and one of the many losers that have worked with me in the past. And to confirm that I had been transported to in hell, I could have to hear the toilet flushing every few minutes.

Thanks for taking one for the team, Pam. But maybe I should see you as inspiration and not a scary parable. Because I just realized that I should be congratulating you on your first sale! That was really awesome, although I'm not sure how the three of you are going to live for very long on under $900. I also want to congratulate you on taking a stand on the copy thing. I also can relate on that front, not only because I like making copies (they are warm!) but because I feel like people do stereotype and put you in a box at work which you can never escape. And that bothers me, because really, we are all multifaceted people.

But lets get down to srs bsns now, are you guys going to return to Dunder Mifflin soon? I don't see how long this can last. Oh, and has Jim figured out a way to remove that clown picture? Can I come to your wedding? I really hope you and Jim get married soon.

You guys are so cute.

In closing, I want to thank you Pam, for representing ladies in the workplace so realistically. Many of us are just like you. Timid, maybe, but underneath that shy veneer there is a confident business woman ready to be unearthed.

Congratulations, Pam Beesly, Friday's Fun Fearless Female!
Have a Happy Easter everyone!

Real Housewives of New Jersey Discussion. Talk amongst yourselves about your "bubbies"

If you didn't watch the preview of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" last night that followed the episode of RHONYC, you must watch it now. If you have never watched an episode of any of the Real Housewives shows, start watching now! (Click here to watch the full episode). Because these ladies are crazier than those featured in any other locale. I think based on that preview, they even beat Atlanta (and that's saying a LOT). I wasn't sure how this show would turn out. As one of the Housewives on the show pointed out (who's originally from Las Vegas), New Jersey has a rep for being the armpit of America. I also was wondering if they were going to try and incorporate something from NJ that they would hold in their hand (i.e, in NYC they hold an apple, Atlanta Housewives hold peaches and in the OC they hold oranges). The only thing I could ever come up with was the idea that they would be surrounded by greenery (because they live in the Garden State). Instead they just struck fierce poses with their hands on their hips. Based on the last few minutes of the preview, it appears that there is an all-out cat fight complete with women turning over tables (with glasses of wine on them, no less). I think we can count on this being an entertaining season!

Also, all of these women refer to their breasts as "Bubbies". One of the women wants to get fake bubbies.Her husband is the "construction business" and "an entrepreneur" and according to her, he's more of an ass man, but he says "Happy wife, happy life". She describes her husband as being "in very good shape" and "juicy". When I saw him, all I could think about was this:

The best part is that they had this whole conversation about her bubbies in front of their very young daughters at a public restaurant.

That couple is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a set of sisters who married a set of brothers, another one of the housewives in married to the sisters' brother, and the family business is an event/wedding center. But they saved the best for last. The last crazy housewife bares a striking resemblance to most of the contestants on RuPaul's Drag Race and she seems very concerned with getting some from a much younger guy she met on the internet (whose name she does not know); another one of her priorities is sitting around her mansion and calling her ex-husband to complain about how she hasn't gotten her divorce settlement yet. I guess in the grand tradition of Real Housewives, she is also unable to work.

I love this show so much and it hasn't even started yet. I've always been a sucker for anything related to the Mob (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Married to the Mob, the Godfather, etc), and while I know this show is not explicitly related to the mob, read this before you tell me I'm stereotyping. I'm already planning a drinking game for this show. Whenever one of the says "bubbies" I will drink a shot. If somebody wears leopard print, I will have a couple sips of an amaretto sour (if I drank more, I have a feeling I might be drunk as a skunk twenty minutes in). If somebody mentions the mob or "sleeping with the fishes", I will down a whole bottle of Grey Goose.

Honestly, compared to these women, the Real Housewives of NYC were a bore last night. The only halfway interesting moment came from Discountess LuAnn Platter

LuAnn sure knows how to sell that book on manners and etiquette. Who wouldn't want to buy a book on manners from a woman who tells a 10 year old girl she's fat? I love the look on that girl's face. She's thinking to herself, "what is this dumb horse telling me? I don't like this woman." Karma's a bitch and after all her going on and on about being a Countess, LuAnn is living her life as A Countess Without A Count . Poor Discountess LuAnn Platter!

Have a great day!

(and if you don't watch the preview for RHONJ, I might shoot you in the face).

YouTubesday: The James Franco Edition

Today is YouTubesday. James Franco recently trashed a room for Wholpin.

According to their website, "Wholphin is a quarterly DVD magazine from McSweeney's, lovingly encoded with unique and ponderable films designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it."

Thank you Wolphin. This video is made of awesome and did leave me pondering it for awhile afterward--as did your interesting name.

And I know I've been talking about it frequently lately, but I'm in awe of James Franco. I want to have him over to my house for Thanksgiving Dinner. He can talk about the book he's writing and wear his Allen Ginsberg glasses. I'm sure he would love my cornbread dressing and pecan pie.
I just need to learn how to make pecan pie.

Have a great day!

First Official New Moon Monday!

After this weekend, I feel like it is officially time to start looking forward to New Moon. It is only about eight months away. And it has started filming. And this weekend, the Twilight DVD came out. So in honor of this new era, I will often be using my Mondays to discuss all things New Moon and Twilight-Saga related. But first, I will discuss the Twilight DVD.
I got the DVD at Target on Saturday morning, and from my Livejournal research, it seems like that was the best one out there. I didn't want to go to a midnight release party because I'm a granny and I knew I wouldn't stay up to watch it that night. I was glad to read that Kristen, Rob and Taylor weren't forced to attend any of these midnight release parties, either, because really, haven't they been through enough? What with the Hot Topic mobbings and Summit recently sending Rob to Wal-Mart headquarters in Arkansas, I'm just glad that they didn't send them out because I fear one of them might have been killed in a mobbing. For those who don't know, there are several different editions of this thing already. The Target Twilight DVD has three DVDs, which include loads of extended and deleted scenes, music videos, talks with the casts, special vampire kiss montages, and Bert playing some piano. Apparently, I'm not the only one who is obsessed, because the movie sold 3 million copies on Saturday. That's pretty awesome.

So here are my top 5 reasons to buy the DVD:

5) The Bella's Lullaby Remix and the Vampire Kiss Montage. Both are super cheesy. The Lullaby Remix features footage from the original bedroom kissing scene which was nixed by SMeyer for being too hot. And it is. The Vampire Kiss Montage is just ridiculous and kind of hot but really scary and overall makes me glad that Chris Weitz is directing New Moon.

4) The Extended scenes. I love seeing anything extra that didn't quite make it into the movie. I have to say, that after watching these scenes, I'm not sure why they cut the extra parts out.

3) The Deleted Scenes. They are made of awesome. Makes me wonder why they were deleted. And again, makes me glad that Chris Weitz is directing New Moon.

2) Edward's piano scene. Rob improvising his version of Bella's Lullaby on the piano. It's amazing and makes me sad that they didn't use it, because that just would have meant so much more, you know? There is a lot of lip pursing and lots of hand shots, which is nice because Rob has nice hands.

1) The commentary. It is amazing. Rob is hilarious with comments like this:

"Never trust a guy who plucks his eyebrows."
"I have so many inexplicable facial expressions in this movie."
"I had pecs for about two days. Everyone would hate me. Just look at me walking around with my little peacoat on. My little customized pea coat."
"Sometimes I think I look like I’ve had facial reconstructive surgery. Like after burns."
[Jokingly] "I hate people who cry around me. I'm not friends with them anymore. Especially girls. Cuz girls are crying all the time. It's like, 'Shut up.' [Catherine Hardwicke points out that he just admitted that HE cried too] But I was crying over something legitimate. A movie."
"I'd love to be able to fit in a box. Like one of those people who fit into small boxes. I'd love it."
[Scene in the forest where Edward asks Bella, "What do we eat?"]: "Cheeseburgers."
[Scene where Edward shows off his sparkly body]: "I'm sorry, Bella. I'm just like a sweaty guy."
"I notice I have one of those butt chins. Like a nubbin."

So yes. I think you should buy the DVD.

Onto New Moon. I'm getting excited, but getting mad at myself for getting excited, because if I go in with low expectations I'm hoping I'll be happier with it than I was with Twilight. But try as I might, I can't help getting excited when I look at these pictures and watch these videos.

This is apparently the new Wolf Pack. Which makes me excited. Because the only thing funnier than the biology scene in Twilight is Solomon/Sam and his wooden delivery of the line "The Cullens don't come here." I wait for it and giggle every time I watch the movie. Plus, a lot of these guys are really good looking and the girls look like I pictured them (and there isn't a Disney star in sight). I hope they really give Emily a big gnarly scar.

Sometimes Taylor annoys me so much that I forget how cute he is. I'm glad his face is growing into his nose.

This guy is cute. I don't even know who he is playing, but to me, he looks like a Sam. Vast improvement--two thumbs up!

I am starting to become a fan of the Wolf Pack. Can someone check my temperature?

This is a picture of Chris Weitz visiting a luxury car dealership. I cannot wait for the scene with Alice stealing the Porsche. Oh how I've missed you, Bella's Big Old Red Truck. These lucky bitches were in Vancouver and got to hang with KStew and Failcob. This is when they were filming for the cliff-diving scene (OMG OMG). Kristen has confirmed that she will not actually be jumping, but it will look like it due to the magic of CGI. I have seen The Golden Compass and I have no doubts that it will look better than Twilight's CGI.
Hello from the New Moon set

I wonder if they are expanding Victoria's role in New Moon. Because if I'm remembering the book correctly, her part consisted of a glimpse of flaming red hair. I'd be happy for them too, because I love Rachelle.

E news Ashley Green discusses New Moon (3-19-09)

I just love Ashley Greene. She's almost as awesome as Alice.

I'm not kidding. I really enjoy Ashley Greene.

And I love KStew, too. People need to quit giving her a hard time and respect the bitchface.

This calms my fears about what they were going to do about Bella's house.They just built a replica in Vancouver. But I'm extremely concerned on how they will do this with the Cullen's house (although I hope they do).

One final note:

A fan named Julie met Peter Facinelli and she shared this information:

He talked to us about the script for New Moon and said he was happy with it. He mentioned his concerns at a man directing a story told from a woman’s (Bella’s) viewpoint, but how he was then totally reassured after meeting Chris Weitz the director. My favourite bit of insiders gossip that he gave us was one of the stage directions. In the New Moon script it says ‘the sunlight catches Edward’s skin and we see him sparkle’ ,it then says in brackets underneath (BUT BETTER THAN IN TWILIGHT) I guess they really are trying to improve the special effects!

That's what I like to hear!

Have a great New Moon Monday!

Love,
