Sparkly Robert Pattinson Dazzles Me

About.com has up a spectacular article about how he became the sparkling Edward Cullen. Exactly what did they do to make him sparkle in the sun?

“We did like a thousand different ideas. Like, we did this thing with salts, like flakes of salt, and stuff. And I was doing all these things, like every single thing. I remember they painted one of the PAs blue, just kind of a confused direction… He ends up kind of just a kind of blue head – I don’t really know what they were thinking with that.”

A really great article! Oh, and for all of you Rob Hatterz, your just jealous. He is going to / has made a great Edward Cullen! :P  (He’s all sparkly and dazzling and such. Yay Spunk!) To read the full article, CLICK HERE!



Twilight TUESDAY: August 26th

Well, if yesterday’s news and videos weren’t enough, we now have our favorite day of the week: TWILIGHT TUESDAY. Twilight Tuesday this week gave us something to do September 7th. 

For months now, “Twilight” Tuesdays have been bringing you your weekly fix of news about Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series and Catherine Hardwicke’s movie adaptation. This week, we’re also bringing news about our own little venture, the MTV Video Music Awards, where stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be presenting an award.

YAY! Twilight will be at the MTV VMAs!! Yippe. Well, that’s defiantly what I will be watching that night. They also gave us an interview with our favorite werewolf boy, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner)! He talks about the sequels to Twilight!

“Twilight” fans know the movie is going to be huge. But Hollywood big-shots aren’t usually motivated by the same squealing, giddy impulses as the rest of us, and we’re going to have to wait until the box-office numbers come in before real talk on a “New Moon” movie begins.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Thanks MTV!

 



Twilight Monday: August 25th

After all these back-to-school blues, Twilight surely brightened my day! This Twilight.. Monday? (August 25th, fyi) we found out that the cast went back to film another scene for the movie/trailer/extra footage! EEK!!! So, pretty much, the message they wanted to get across: NEW TWILIGHT SCENES ARE IN THE WORKS!!

(VIDEO WILL BE UP SOON)

Often, movies have to reshoot scenes when the powers that be are less than satisfied with the original footage, but Peter Facinelli, who plays vampire patriarch Carlisle Cullen, put a positive spin on the work they’ll be doing. “They liked it so much, they are bringing us back for some encore time — to beef it up,” he said. “A little salt and pepper.”

Pahahahahaha. I love Peter! He is a great Dr. Cullen!! Emmett and Jacob also talk about the additional scene in the article. To read it, CLICK HERE!



Catherine Hardwicke on Reelz Channel

Reelz Channel has up a great video interview with Catherine Hardwicke!

PS: Sorry I haven’t updated too recently, guys. School is keeping me extreeeemly busy. I promise to do better!



Kellan Lutz Interview on Hollywood 411

Kellan Lutz stopped by Hollywood 411 to talk about his roles on Generation Kill, Beverly Hills 90210, and Twilight. Isn’t Kellan an awesome Emmett? He’s all big and grizzly. Haha. Here it is, and it’s amazing:

See? Defiantly the best Emmett possible!



Robert Pattinson is featured on The Movie Fanatic

The dazzeling RPattz has a feature on tMF (the movie fanatic). The little article-blog spot they have up is called “Why is Robert Pattinson getting so much buzz? Is the talent deserving of the hype?”

Rob definitely comes alive when the cameras roll though. His performances were always heightened by pressure – he would often in rehearsals say – OK it’s not right now, but I know what is needed and I’ll get it on the day. 

So what do you all think? Do you think that HIS talent is deserving or do you think it is more about the ROLE? Personally, I love Spunk! The role just adds to his awesomeness! But, that is my opinion. :]



PI Readers Bare Their Fangs in Defense of Breaking Dawn

Seattle PI has up an article that defends Stephenie Meyer’s unexpected conclusion to the Twilight Saga. (Spoiler)

Who cares if a vampire technically can’t father a child? What’s the big beef if everyone lives happily ever after? Can’t you all stop picking on poor Stephenie Meyer?

Personally, I loved Breaking Dawn. I did like the happy ending… for everyone. But it didn’t quite finish for me. I think there’s more to tell of the story. Who knows, maybe someday she’ll pick it back up. Hmm. But, anyway, the PI readers are biting back at the nasty comments and reviews Breaking Dawn has received. All fans of Stephenie Meyer unite in support of her after former fans lashed out at the series’ finale, “Breaking Dawn.” To read the entire article, CLICK HERE!



Taylor Lautner on TVGuide

TV Guide has up a video interview with our favorite russet werewolf, Jacob Black/Taylor Lautner. (Oh, and this is from Comic Con, btw)



10 Questions for Stephenie Meyer

Time Magazine has put up a new article/interview with the infamous Stephenie Meyer called “10 Questions for Stephenie Meyer.” It seems mildly familiar, but maybe I just thought I heard it before. Well, either way, it’s a pretty good interview. Good questions, nice answers. :] To read it, CLICK HERE!



About.com gets hit with some SPUNK!

About.com has up a new interview with Spunk Ransom (err… Robert Pattinson). 

“Edward knows that he’s a vampire and that he always will be and she will always be a mortal until she’s dead, so there’s not a huge amount he can do about it. But I mean it’s essentially a pretty happy situation at the end, I think,” offered Pattinson.

It’s a pretty cool article! To read the whole thing, CLICK HERE!

Check out this frikken sweet picture of our most evil Nomadic Vampire, Victoria (Rachelle LeFevre).

Oh, and by the way, thank you Crepusculomeyer for the link and the vamptastic photo!



Wizard and Vampire Peace Treaty

 In case you’ve missed them, which would be kinda hard because there were so many, there have been a few articles that compare Twilight to Harry Potter or Stephenie Meyer to JK Rowling. This has started a new Fandom War between the wizards and vamps. Is this really necessary?

These fandoms used to get along! Can’t we just go back to that? Let’s stop bashing the other book… It’s not a war! As the Lex said, there is no comparison.

Taking a quick look around the fandom, it seems there are several other Twilight sites that are also as mystified as we are. Is there a team Gossip Girls vs. a Team Princess Diaries, vs a Team Traveling Pants? Is there a Team Gandalf vs. Team Aslan?  Is there and Anne of Green Gables vs. Little Women showdown death match? The answer is a pretty resounding “NO”!

Exactly! Let’s stop choosing sides! You don’t have to team up. Who says you have to choose? No one. Remember, our Edward was once IN Harry Potter. The only similarity I can see between these two amazing books is the fantasy aspect. Yes, they both involve mystical creatures and/or mystical villains. But really… A war over a genre? Also, as pointed out, they are both intensely popular and were written by some awesome female authors!

Let’s not give these two great fandoms a bad rep! Let’s try to represent Twilight in a positive manor! Don’t be one of those fans who get too riled up and bash the other. We are all in the same family! VAMPIRES LOVE WIZARDS [and vise versa]. So, angry fans, stop being so stupid.

As of now, along with a few other top Twilight sites, Spidurmunkey is no longer linking these types of articles anymore – they shouldn’t be considered real news! Let’s put an end to this ridiculously unnecessary fandom war! BOTH BOOKS ARE EQUALLY AWESOME.

Besides, Harry Potter was my first love (actually, Draco was) and Twilight is just joining the fun! Not replacing. Let’s be friendly and accepting to both books/fandoms! I suggest a Wizard and Vampire peace treaty. But… mostly for the fans!

Sorry for the rant. :]



Twilight at the Olympics

 

For those of you who are still skeptics of Twilight’s appearance in everything, let’s look overseas. Everyone knows all about the Beijing Olymipics, right? Well, would you believe me if I said that Twilight is in that, too? Believe it! There is an athlete from Brazil named Isabel Swan. No joke!! Also, American, all-around gymnastics gold medalist Nastia Luikin is a Twilight fan. Woah. I wonder if she ever gets distracted thinking about Edward during a floor routine or something. Haha.



Greetings From Twilight: Comic-Con!

Rewind to July’s Comic-Con! Remember all the craziness of Twilight? Well, Summit’s “Greetings from Twilight” reminds us all about the screaming, hectic, appearance of everyone’s favorite vampires!

Team Bella or Hermione? MTV Chooses Sides

The MTV blog spot asked us fans (both of Twilight and Harry Potter) to post who they would prefer as a role model: Bella or Hermione? They asked a few Harry Potter Fan-Bands their opinion. But, HisGoldenEyes did prove a point… MTV said that BOTH fanbases picked Hermione. But didn’t they only interview HP Fans?

Bella is magnetic. Hermione is awkward. But fans of both the Twilight and Harry Potter series pick Hermione over Bella any day. Why?
