Why Twilight Just "Worked"

This is why Twilight worked. Look at this photo. I pulled this up (on Latchkey Wife) and my first thought was "EDWARD!" Not "Rob".... Not "What's with the Casual Friday ensemble?!" just... "EDWARD!"

I've been waiting patiently for New Moon to come out on Video. But honestly - I'm not nearly as excited as I thought I'd be. It's not the same. Nothing against Chris Weitz or any of the actors... I just... truly think I liked Twilight better. Why?

Because of Catherine Hardwicke.

They can call her quirky all they want. But the woman captured the essence of Twilight. She gets it. She understands and is able to project it properly onto the screen. She brings across the novel. I'm no feminist, but I can honestly say I think this is because she has boobs. She's a female; we're wired differently. We understand the emotion and realize it's more important than sometimes even visuals - like "blowing up stuff"... know what I mean?

So if you're still hunting for Breaking Dawn directors, oh Summit... you might want to consider a female. Just sayin'...

Great new Midnight Sun video from Tiffanyd666

WAIT until you see this. It's a Twilight/Midnight Sun video with lots of Edward. It's from Tiffanyd666 who - in my opinion - makes the best fan videos for Twilight. Period.

AND - check out the scene at 59 seconds. It's a deleted scene that they should have kept in. Edward is standing at his car with Emmett and Bella walks down the stairs behind him - and he grips the car hard because he can smell her behind him. He never even sees her before she walks by; just knows her scent. Check out the LOOK on his face. It's way better than the look on his face from the first day they met in biology class (when he looks like someone passed gas). Why they cut this scene out is beyond me. What is it, all of a 15 second scene?? I'm sure Catherine had a good reason but wow - wish they could have just added more time to the film. As if we'd have a problem with a 3 hour Twilight film????

Stephenie Meyer talks about the Twilight Graphic Novel

From StephenieMeyer.com:

January 20, 2010

Here is a press release from Hachette Book Group which was released just a few minutes ago:

YEN PRESS ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL, VOL. 1 WILL GO ON-SALE ON MARCH 16, 2010
NEW YORK, NY (January 20, 2010) — Yen Press, the graphic novel imprint of Hachette Book Group, announced that it will publish the highly-anticipated first volume in the graphic novel adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight on March 16, 2010. Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 will be released in hardcover for $19.99 ($22.99 CAN) with a first printing of 350,000 copies. As is typical in graphic novel publishing, due to the length of the prose novel, the book will be divided into two volumes and the release date for the second volume is forthcoming.
Twilight: The Graphic Novel contains selected text from Meyer's original novel with illustrations by Korean artist Young Kim. A rare fusion of Asian and Western comic techniques is reflected in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.
"I've enjoyed working on this new interpretation of Twilight," said Meyer. "Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series."
Kurt Hassler, Yen Press Publishing Director, said, "Few American publishing properties are better suited to introduce a vast readership to the medium of graphic novel than the phenomenon that is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. Yen Press will certainly continue to expand this audience with the help of Bella and Edward."
In four years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon. The Twilight Saga’s translation rights have been sold in nearly 50 countries and 85 million copies have been sold worldwide.

A little RPattz hilarity for a Friday afternoon...

So Jenn D, Jenn M and I were having an amusing little email convo about RPattz. It involved our thoughts on how we'd like to spend an evening with him... and Jenn D sent some lovely photos to capture the fantasy. Enjoy.

From Jenn D:

This is the look I expect us to get when Rob intercepts this email thread (because you know he stalks me):




 






Followed soon by the second pic, after we've plied him with whiskey & ale.

Then the third pic, which I will just call "The Morning After" 













Jenn D: And lastly?  When we remind him we'll see him the same time next week.  ;)

Taylor Lautner Gets Talked Over at the Golden Globes

Am I the only one who was appalled to hear people talking while Taylor Lautner was speaking tonight at the Golden Globes? Totally rude and inconsiderate. Guess he hasn't been around long enough to warrant courtesy. *Thanks to Celebrity Gossip for the photo.
