I'm hoping this isn't proof that I'm losing my edge. I'm blaming it on the fact that my main interest in seeing "Remember Me" is RPattz. That's a little sad, I know, but it's the truth and around here, I'm nothing if not truthful (plus let's face it, it's not like anyone who knows me would believe any other excuses I might make). Alas, I'm already off topic.
So I was watching that video of Rob on Jimmy Fallon on YouTube (late night TV talkshows aren't my thing) and Jimmy asked Rob if he'd ever seen an episode of "Lost." For a moment I thought "Who the hell cares if Rob's watched lost or not? I don't need to know that I share an obsession with a crazy ass TV show that seems to be going nowhere faster than I can possibly take a shot."
Then it dawned on me.
So that's why the girl in the "Remember Me" trailer looked so familiar! I was so busy daydreaming about RPattz that I completely over looked the fact that Ally, the love interest, is none other than Claire.

Honestly, missing this connection baffles me. I really should pay more attention but when it comes to this, how can I possibly concentrate on anything else?
Don't worry, I've got some KFF action lined up for later today along with some photos and a little report from my adventures with the Olympic Flame this morning, but this video popped up in my inbox this morning. It's a TV spot for "Remember Me" which features, well...a lot of Rob.
While looking around, I also spotted this short clip of candid Rob. He's thanking the ladies who just interviewed him and who run a few fansites. He looks genuinely thankful for their efforts.
Summit, smart cookies that they are, waited until after the weekend to release the new "New Moon" trailer, the same trailer which was attached to "Bandslam". It did leak out on Friday but the bootleg was very poor and I refused to watch it until the official release. The fact I managed to hold off for a few days surprises even me.
It's interesting that they've released a trailer which features Taylor talking through most of it. On the one hand it's great for the fans (since "New Moon" centres a great deal on Jacob) but a bit annoying. Not too much new footage but enough to advertise the much better effects. I can understand that Jacob's shirtless moments are part of the story but it makes me feel a little awkward. That said, what's the deal with this image which I captured from about the 1:44 mark of the trailer:
I don't doubt that the torso on display is Taylor's but that position makes this image look completely unnatural. Seriously. It's a nitpick but it really bothers me.
I also rewinded the trailer a few times but not for the reason you might think (and yes, I would admit it...you know I would if it was Edward. Though there is one scene...). I rewinded a few times to Jane because I wanted a better look at the character but gave up after the third try. It's too quick and the video not high-quality enough to get a good sense of what the character looks like. That said, I can't wait to see screen captures from the trailer. I'm sure those will start popping up soon.
Moving on, you don't really need more words from me. Chances are if you're a diehard you've already seen this but just in case...
UPDATE: Big thank you to Thinking of Rob for super awesome screencaps. It's still a bit blurry but they have one of Jane which looks very promising.
I'm trying very hard to be mature and well tempered about this Robert Pattinson crush thing but I'm sorry, how can you expect me to act calm and demure with pictures like these floating around? Honestly!?
And this look....it's enough to boil oceans. If only Edward could look this natural...
I'm very excited to be meeting some local Twilight fans for a "Girls Night Out" event tonight. On the docket: drinks and dinner followed by the 9:45PM screening of "Little Ashes". I'm sure you can figure out why we're seeing that particular film.
I'll be thinking about this guy to get me through the rest of the gorgeous day I'm spending in the office in front of a computer and a filing cabinet.
I may be a fan, but I have some semblance of self respect and would never partake in a mobbing of a celebrity but I do find him oh so cute so spare me eye rolling and just enjoy these casual photos.
It's not that I'm having a bad day, that would be sort of impossible considering the great weather and the fact that I'm at the office on my own, but I needed a little pick-me-up and didn't realize it until I saw this image. I think it's a few years old but very, very awesome.
What kind of fan would I be if I didn't post this? Awesome...until the last few seconds. Someone please tell me that they're still working on the wolf effects.
Or at least that was my first thought when I saw the image of Robert Pattinson which graced that cover of this month's issue of the men's magazine. Pattinson is a handsome bloke but a lot of credit goes to photographer Nathaniel Goldberg who captures not just Pattinson's smoldering good looks but also a bit of bad boy which is obviously lurking under the surface.
The GQ article, complete with pictures, is here while a few of the out takes are now online here.
By this point, you already know that "Twilight" is coming to DVD on March 21st but along with the release of the Two Disc Special Edition there are also a number of Collector's Editions available through a number of retailers. As of this morning, I'm aware of two different editions.
Borders Exclusive Edition
The Borders Exclusive Edition includes the 2 Disc SE along with a bonus DVD which includes:
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Robert Pattinson (Edward)
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Cam Gigandet (James)
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Edi Gathegi (Laurent) and Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria)
• Exclusive Red-Carpet Interviews from the Twilight Movie Premiere
• Exclusive Never-Before-Seen Red-Carpet Footage! Includes extra interview footage with Kellan Lutz (Emmett), Ashley Greene (Alice), rock band Paramore, and Nikki Reed (Rosalie)
• Exclusive Borders Book Club: Stephenie Meyer talks about the Twilight Saga
Exclusive Photocards
10 exclusive photocards are printed on a gorgeous pearlescent paper to give a dramatic sparkly effect—the perfect way to view your favorite vampires
That edition is available only through Borders at a cost of $29.99 which is only $5 dollars more than the list price for the Standard 2 Disc release.
Since I don't have a Blu-ray player and I don't care much for jewelry, I skipped out on the Amazon offer for the Border's offer instead. Plus, $70US is a little hefty for my wallet.
Hot Topic Release
Hot Topic is releasing the 2 Disc special edition at the same cost of most retailers ($24.99) but as an added bonus, you get:
Barnes & Noble is releasing the 2 Disc special edition for $26.39 but as an added bonus, you get:
• Customizable Twilight Skin for your cell phone, PDA or MP3 player (individual code redeemable at Skinit.com)
You can PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE. If you find any other Collector's Editions, please let me know. I'll provide updates as more become available.
NOTE:Apparently the Special Edition Blu-Ray disc will only be availabe on March 21st via Best Buy and Target (though neither site has the DVD listed for pre-sale) and then to all other retailers on May 5th. This seems like a bit of a moronic move but I'm sure they've got their reasons. Also note that they've added a new feature (to the Blu-Ray edition at least): "BD Live with "New Moon" teaser" - whatever that means.
So we already know about the release on March 21st (did you check out my totally kickin' counter? OK, it's only kinda cool. Actually, it's a tad cheesy but oh well) and we have another update, this time on what's going to be includingon the 2 Disc DVD.
