Kevin Smith Loves Twilight?

Okay, I WAS going to post about Twilight merchandise, but this had me falling off my chair LMAO.

Oh, sweet Jesus. This just made my Monday. Kevin Smith, of Clerks & Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back fame, did a stand up routine about Twilight fangirls and the New Moon Movie clips and it is GOLDEN.

Recovering From Comic Con Overload

Comic Con insanity is winding down, leaving everyone out there with an interest in Twilight to sort through the absolutely staggering amount of video and merchandise that were unleashed at the convention.

It's a lot. In some ways, Comic Con totally delivered, because fans were served up not just one, but two sneak peeks of the movie. Hells yeah!

In other ways it kind of sucked, because the initial press conference was short and lame, and although the panel was a little better it still wasn't necessarily everything that fans were wanting. Although, of course, we'll take what we can get.

About the best location for the raw footage, now that bad video and technically flawed live feeds have been sorted out, is over at NewMoonMovie.org.

The footage is all kind of entertaining, although there are definitely some people who shine more than others. Ashley Greene did well for her first time at a panel of this size, and Rob Pattinson was really sweetly letting Taylor Lautner shine in his moment as the hot one of the movie.

Way to give a win to Team Jacob there Rob!

Kristen seemed a bit off, although to be fair she is really in the middle of doing a totally different kind of film. To be unfair . . .sit up straight hoesbeast, you're the star here!

Also pleasantly surprised by how deadpan funny and self-deprecating Chris Weitz turned out to be. I didn't really like Catherine in her interviews (something about her voice & mannerisms just bugs me) and from his taste in music I wasn't sure I was going to like this guy. And yet. . . he is totally growing on me. Depending on how 'effing awesome the film turns out to be, I may just become a fan.

And then . . . .and then there is the merchandise.

I love you Rachelle, just for holding THAT.

Man, oh man. They are totally whoring this film out to the merch men, and retailers have got to be on their knees saying thank you for this little gem!

More on merch later . . . .once I get over the shirtless Jacob doll!

(Big thanks to ET and photobucket twilight lovers for the photos!)

Rob Pattinson Tells Fangirls Exactly How He Likes It

There are about 10,000 videos and fan streams coming out of the Comic Con insanity yesterday, and I love almost every single one of them. I'm watching them all, sorting for gems, but it's slow, since all the other Twi-fans are fighting me for bandwidth. I'll get you for this, internet.

But this one is going to be a personal favorite for a while. Like, a long while :-) It's Rob Pattinson telling us exactly how he likes it:

The New Scenes From New Moon

I'm a grown woman. Well, mostly grown. And yet, I find that I can still give a high-pitched squee just like the little fan girls do all throughout these videos. Couldn't they watch in silent respect? I mean, it's Jacob with no shirt on. You have to respect that, right? (deafening squeals)

All annoyance aside, here's the dose of awesome covered with win sauce.

Fresh New Moon Comic Con Panel Funnies

So, despite massive technical difficulties as every live feed on the web went FAIL the second the panel started, it seems that we do have a bit of win going on here.

Namely, fun quotes:

Kstew on Robsten: Are you kidding me? (And then Summit shut down that line of questioning, LOL)

Pattinson on Vampires: Um, I try to downplay that element.

Oh, really?

Lautner on growling for fans: I don't actually enjoy doing that. (10 million fantasies just went *poof* all over the web)

Rob Pattinson on questions he'd never like to hear again: What was it like kissing Taylor Lautner?
