Twilight (contains spoilers for all books and the movies)

I just checked and the earliest screenings in your area are Thursday night at midnight. It's showing at a lot of theaters near you.

I also double checked the list of appearances and there aren't any near you. Rob, Kristen, Taylor, Edi, and Rachelle are on a tour of Hot Topic stores in malls around the country but none in you area, unfortunately.

The premiere is in Hollywood on Monday, November 17.

There is only one other advance screening that I'm aware of and it's in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday, November 18.

Variety has posted a 15-minute interview with Rob:

Oh crap. Imdb says the Twilight release date in Finland is in january. In Sweden it is 21 november. So a good thing that I live on the borderline.

I really hope you can see Twilight before January, Maria.

Twilight mania

This is scary, folks.

Message from Hot Topic
To all of the supporters of Hot Topic and fans of TWILIGHT:
Although no explanation will correct the situation that occurred in Chicago today at the Orland Square Mall, I wanted to attempt to explain what happened from our point of view.
We do many signings all over the country with large crowds so we have processes and systems in place to ensure a smooth experience for our customers. The mall developer was a partner in the planning; however, as of two days ago, they told us they would not allow any fans to line up prior to 6AM. They required them to be off the premises.
On Monday at 6AM at the San Francisco event, the fans became disorderly and stormed the mall entrance. Mall security, numerous police, fire officials and our team from HT stepped in to calm the crowd and create a safe environment for the fans. The event was revised and went forward with the exception of the planned Q&A.
Monday's event caused all of us to re-group and review the process. Allowing a "mob" to develop was dangerous and frankly, not an option. The mall developer (GGP) consented to allowing an orderly line to form prior to 6AM outside of the remainder of the malls on the tour. When our crew arrived yesterday at midnight, approximately 500 people were already lined up to purchase tickets. By 1AM, there were 700 people in line. It was about 30 degrees and raining. We had to make a call. We knew the first 500 would get wristbands and felt it was the right call to allow those waiting beyond 500 to go home and avoid the cold, wet weather for the remainder of the morning. Given the demand, anyone arriving after midnight would have been too late to obtain a wristband.
We understand your frustration and anger, but from our standpoint, we had no choice but to change the rules after Monday's event. We knew some would feel it unfair as they were told one thing and when arriving on the scene, something else was reality. But given the choice of risking a disorderly crowd, a dangerous situation and canceling of the event, we made a decision that we felt was the right thing to do. I support our team and the mall for making safety and, given the weather, health the priorities.
There are two remaining locations for "Edward" appearances, King of Prussia in Philadelphia and Square One in Saugus, MA. Both malls have consented to allowing an orderly line form early, first come, first serve. Exact line-up locations are posted on the hottopic.com website.

We sincerely apologize and hope that the facts help you to better understand the situation.

CEO, Hot Topic

I think it's Rob they want. :drool: One thing I have to give the guy, in all these interviews, he's quite humble. Very self-deprecating, in fact, and can't figure out why girls like him.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 13 Nov 08 :: 03:31

Well, I think since Comic-Con, he's realizing how overwhelming being in this movie would become for him. And with every passing event, it just keeps ratcheting up. Poor guy.

magicalturkey · 13 Nov 08 :: 03:34

I don't think any of them really knew what they were getting into.

Those Twilight girl fans sound even worse than the Harry Potter fans.

larry-411 · 13 Nov 08 :: 17:32

Check this out.

The Twilight soundtrack has debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart and the film isn't even out for another week.

Twilight is the first rock-oriented soundtrack to hit #1 since Armageddon in January 1998.

Twilight is the third movie soundtrack to hit #1 so far this year, following Juno and Mamma Mia! This is the first year in which three movie soundtracks have gone all the way since 1998, when Titanic, City Of Angels and Armageddon did it.

Twilight is the first movie soundtrack to debut at #1 since Jack Johnson's Curious George did it in 2006.

It's the first rock-oriented movie soundtrack (as opposed to alternative) to debut at #1 since Private Parts in 1997. Only four other movie soundtracks, Murder Was The Case, Gridlock'd, 8 Mile and Bad Boys, have debuted at #1.

Oh.. %#¤%!&"%"%! Where the heck is my copy of Breaking dawn???!!! :fedup: Why does it take so damn long for the books to arrive now... It says on my play.com info it was sent the 5th. It's been 8 days already. Last time I ordered books from them it was 8 days too. If it isn't in my mail box tomorrow, what the heck I'll do all weekend? Oh wait, I do have some DVD's I haven't seen yet. Like The sisterhood of the travelling pants... that I ordered from the same place as the book, day later and it arrived earlier this week.. Is it about the weight? The first book came in four days or so.. keeps getting longer and longer.. I'll bet next month, when I'll order The Host, it'll take three weeks...

I like the soundtracks that are in Stephenie's site. There's a soundtrack for each book. I'm not suprised if Twilight soundtrack is selling well.

Do you already know twilightguy.com? This is one of his posts.

HE PROPOSED WITH BELLA'S ENGAGEMENT RING.
I love my girlfriend, and I have to say I love her a lot more than Robert "Robward" Pattinson or Edward Cullen loves her. I love her so much I intend to marry her one day.
We've been going out for seven and a half years now and every day has brought me something new, but none as much as her latest obsession of the Twilight books. You see, Marianne and I met in high school when we were sixteen years old, and being introduced to Twilight made me feel like I was dating my sweet sixteen year old girlfriend again.
Unlike some of the other guys I know dating girls obsessed with the books, my girlfriend never insisted that I read the series, but her obsession was making me curious. Now being as obsolete to books as I am, I walked into a book store forgetting the name of the Twilight novel and asked for a book with a girl holding an apple. I intended to surprise my girlfriend by reading it before she inevitably asked me to.
Anyway, the clerk behind the counter was a man, an old man, and he showed me Snow White.
I knew it wasn't that… so I decided to look for myself and ended up finding Eclipse. It was a small bookstore and I was too scared to get caught buying Twilight in a larger one like Borders, so I bought Eclipse instead and read it. All of it. The Edward character inspired me to want to propose to my girl even sooner than before because he reminded me of how much I loved her.
A few nights later after reading the book, Marianne was intending to buy a t-shirt to wear to the opening release of Breaking Dawn in August and she had the Twilight Teez website open on her computer. I promised I would buy her the shirt and that's when I came across Bella's engagement ring.
It finally arrived three months later (give or take) and my plan was simple. I had bought a new bed frame despite there being nothing wrong with the old one. I even went so far as to get one with rose panels. She was confused when I showed her the new frame, but then I intentionally proposed to her the same way Edward did,
"I promise to love you forever - every single day of forever. Will you marry me?"
But it was her face that was most priceless, when she recognized the words I was saying and the ring that she was staring at in its black velvet box. Her reaction was dissimilar to Bella's -- she screamed and nodded and said "Oh my Cullen!" a lot -- and I kissed each of her fingertips and the ring that was now hers. I've since read all other books in the Twilight series and we plan to get married next Spring."

Wow. What would have been YOUR response?

CappuGirl · 13 Nov 08 :: 22:29

Have you see this spoilers q&a vid yet? It's the director and some of the actors that haven't been on the media so much.

http://community.livejournal.com/hisdazzlingeyes

Made me smile. And Taylor was cute embarrassed in the beginning. He stole the show. In the end he went to the growd and kissed some fangirl. The other actors were pretty cool too, and the director of course. Good thing I found that vid, cheered me up. Usually screeming like that makes my ears hurt.

Michael is starting to get mentioned a bit more often in Twilight pieces.

This first one is not a big deal but it kind of is because it's not on a fansite or a one-off newspaper or mag piece. It's a syndicated article that went out on the Canwest News Service, sort of like the Associated Press for Vancouver and Western Canada. It's from the Vancouver Sun but will appear in many Canadian media outlets:

http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news … ca42ecb3b7

Bella's Friends
Upon moving to Forks, Bella is befriended by shy, quiet Angela Weber (Christian Serratos), jealous, petty Jessica Stanley (Anna Kendrick), and popular jock Mike Newton (Michael Welch), who is immediately smitten - much to Jessica and Edward's dismay. Bella's new friends can't understand why she's drawn to Edward, the school freak.

Again, on the face of it it's not a big deal but I've seen thousands of pieces in the press that don't mention him at all or simply include him at the bottom in a cast list.

======================

This one is a bit amusing but enlightening nonetheless.

http://verasbiggayblo.blogspot.com/2008 … ometh.html
Under 2 nice-sized pictures from that new photoshoot, it says:

This may mean that I'm a bad gay, but I'm not completely on-board with the upcoming film adaptation of Twilight. I know that a lot of people are really looking forward to it, and I'm sure it will make a boatload of money, but I honestly can't very excited about it. Part of my reticence may have something to do with Robert Pattinson. I don't recall being blown away by his performance in Goblet of Fire, and although he can look very presentable at times, he often looks like something the cat dragged in. Plus, the trailer was so cheesy. It looked like something made for the Sci-Fi channel, and believe me, that's no compliment.
On the other hand, there promises to be quite a bit of male pulcritude on display, including Taylor "Sharkboy" Lautner, Cam Gigandet, Michael Welch and Kellan Lutz. So, there's that.

================================

Hmm...Michael as gay icon?

I really hope that you get it in the mail by Friday. A lot of people really dislike it but I think it's awesome!

More (see above 2 posts):

ET Online has a feature "The Men of Twilight." Michael has his own page and a picture.

Ooh Mikey, not sour grapes, surely?

TeeJay · 14 Nov 08 :: 09:57

Wait a minute, Robert Pattinson was in Harry Potter? He played Cedric Diggory, right? Man, why did I not realize that before?? I was so sure I had never seen him in anything before. How embarrassing.

I thought so too. Then I found his HP:GOF- clips on youtube. They were pretty bad on quality. I'm not sure if we have that movie here somewhere. Kids propably distroyed that one too.

Yay, my kid just came from school and picked my Breaking Dawn from the mailbox.

I didn't notice that either. We'll survive.

I thought that thing you quoted was from Mike. I didn't click the link so I misunderstood. I'm not that into this whole Twilight thing, you know, so I haven't clicked through to every single article/interview you've posted. My bad. I do wanna see the movie, but I won't be rushing out to do so and I won't be buying up all the books.

LOL Well, Michael is most certainly not gay (the quote begins "This may mean that I'm a bad gay").

I quoted the whole thing so clicking the link wouldn't have told you anything different.

That said, the funny thing is, I've hardly posted any articles/interviews at all. That's because there's been very little worth posting, as far as I'm concerned. But I see plenty of interest here on the forum and actually felt as if I was doing the fans here a disservice by ignoring all the posts and NOT posting anything. So I decided to join in this week.

I believe that is the very first post I've ever put up in this Twilight forum with several links to articles involving Michael.

I thought that was a typo actually, that he meant "bad guy". It was kinda late. I was a bit bleary.

I'm glad you finally got the book Breaking Dawn, Maria. Tell me what you think of it when your done reading it.
