Rob Pattinson Harry Potter Snark

Okay, so I was totally inspired by the Jimmy Fallon thing yesterday to hunt down more Cedric Diggory / Rob Pattinson vs. Twilight madness related funnies. This is helping me fuel two obsessions at once for the week! Yes, I am seeing Harry Potter again today. Yes, I am almost 30. Don't judge like that, cause I'm making time for Twilight too.

Or at least Twilight tie-ins. Here were some of the images I found that did the trick!

And my personal favorite:

Yay For Radcliffe v. Pattinson

Okay, so I was one of the obsessed who went to the midnight premier of the Potter. The movie was good, the crowd not so much. The last time I did one of these movie premiers, the theater had hired a magician and people were in full-on costumes, complete with wand.

New state, new theater = well, at least they served beer.

Anyway, the movie was epic win, as Draco is a hella good lurker and the 10,000 Gollums rushing Potter were priceless (Yes, when they appeared I did indeed utter, 'My Precious!') so it was totally worth it.

Not so worth it? Being absolutely shot for the next 2 days thanks to lack of sleep + real world. Actually had to be on a Twi-news diet due to deadlines and massive restriction of internet browsing time. BOOOOO!

Fortunately, not everyone was suffering like me. Some people were out there creating this bit of pricelessness:

I almost forgive Mr. Fallon for some of his earlier work thanks to this. Almost. Well done.

Cheating on Robert Pattinson

Confession: I'm cheating on Robert Pattinson.

Actually, I'm cheating on Edward Cullen and the whole Cullen clan, plus Jacob, if you really want to get technical about it.

And I'm not going to be sorry about it either, because I'm cheating on them with this man:

That's right! Someone has tickets to the midnight showing. Now, I love Twilight just as much as the next girl (more, probably), but frankly my friends, it's Harry Potter. You can't not go.

Especially once you've discovered the absolute hysteria of the midnight showings. . . . .oh my, my, my, my.

So, sorry Rob, but today is going to be all about someone else. I'll make it up to you . . . tomorrow.

Twilight in the Wall Street Journal

Right, so I'm pretty sure this one can get filed under "Shit I never thought I'd see".

The Wall Street Journal, better known for stuffy business articles, a conservative editorial page, and some of the most boring entertainment reviews I have ever read, has shocked me. They've actually shocked me. Bear in mind that at one point I worked in one of the top banks in the country and thought I'd read or heard every bit of nonsense the paper could put out as it reported on our company.

Little did I know . . . .just when I was actually browsing for non-Twilight related news, the WSJ was going to move (albeit briefly) from Peggy Noonan to Edward Cullen.

Check out the LOLs as the WSJ tries to get all serious about the Harry Potter vs. Twilight phenom.

I mean, not all that bad, but it's like discovering your grandma reads fanfic. It's slightly cool, but mostly wrong.
