no more twilight lexicon for me

I can't go on it anymore--not until after I see the movie. Cause I keep screwing up. I just saw Emily's scar face on accident. I have the worst reflexes.

I'm kind of glad I saw it. I know they're going to make the moment where it's revealed to Bella a little dramatic--well I hope they do cause it's kind of that way in the book--so I didn't want to see it before hand cause I wanted to see it for the first time on the big screen.

But...in my head her scar looked a lot worse so I'm kind of glad I saw it before I saw the movie cause I would have been a little disappointed. Or not disappointed in like a negative way...but since it did look so much worse in my head---my imaginary Emily looked jacked---I would have been like "oh...that's it?" so. alls good I suppose. But I really need to stay away from Twilight Lexicon. I'm so dumb. It's like I'm trying to torture myself.

EClipse Promo Pics!

I hope this is real because it is AWESOME!

THIS IS SO HARD!

Why? Why? WHY?

WHY did I decide not to watch any trailers before I see the movie again?

Cause I can't seem to remember.

And every time I look up and see Edward or Bella on my TV I have to scream and squeeze my eyes shut and hum "Fireflies" by Owl City.

It's really embarassing.

I've had a few episodes.

One was when I was in the kitchen and my roommate was watching TV in the living room. Commercial break, New Moon trailer, gasp, scream, runaway....but we were in the middle of a conversation so I continue to talk to her from the hallway.

The Second was when my friend was over and she asked for a nail clipper. I walk into my room to get one...see Bella, scream, run back out of the room (without the nail clipper), shut the door and press my back against it as if something bad was in there.

It's getting bad.

How many more days till the movie comes out?

oh my GOSH.

Lali here! So they've been treating us to an unusual amount of sneak peeks. I was sort of like, Lani, you're crazy for not watching 30 seconds here and 30 seconds there. But they really posted a LOT of the film on these interwebs. First up, Bella smacks Paul, and he turns into the big bad wolf:



Then, there's the Access Hollywood trailer:

THEN a Volturi fight scene:



And lastly, a semi-decent quality sneak of Edward ditching Bella in the forest. What an idiot. (just kidding! don't kill me, fan girls!)



I can't guarantee the last one staying up, because it's obviously not Summit-released. But copyright law is more of guidelines on the internets, right guys? (just kidding! don't kill me, enforcers!)

Talking about copyright law makes me think of good old Hogarth. I did a presentation on him in high school. It was supposed to take 10 minutes... I took 45. I know, I'm a nerd. About everything. Life's better that way.

New Moon in the Magazines!

Are there any I'm missing?

Who is sick of hearing about "Robsten?"

In case you can't see me...I'm raising both of my hands.

Now, I am a big fan of both Robert and Kristen, but frankly, I don't care...at all...if they're dating.

Like, at all. I still believe that what people really want is for "Bella" and "Edward" to be together...which if you've read all the books you know the answer to that.

(I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who still has not made it all the way through Breaking Dawn.)

But seriously. Who cares if they are together or not? Which personally, I don't think that they are. Well at least I'm not quick to believe that they are.

Omgosh...so as I'm writing this I hear on the TV

"Did you know Rob and Kristen are liiiiivvvving together? Stay tuned!"

Seriously.

Seriously?

Seriously, even if they WERE dating, I am sick of hearing about it. I really don't have much else to say besides that. Why do we care? I mean, I could probably come up with a reason, like

"We really like them so we're interested in their personal lives"--but even this isn't a good excuse.

Because we're fans of their work. That should be it. That should be all we care about. Their work. It's so hard for people to be successful because there is all of this other, crap really that comes along with it.

I mean, I'm sure there are some celebrities who enjoy media attention. But I know there are a lot who just want to be good at what they do and they just want people to be able to appreciate their work. So they've accepted that to get there, you also have to subscribe to this "celebrity" mentality.

It's not fair. Imagine not being able to go out to eat with your friends because wherever you go you attract tons of people with cameras. Then your friends start going out to eat and not inviting you because they just want to have a quiet dinner for once.

Imagine not being able to send a tweet to your friend without it being on E News the next day. (Miley Cyrus. Btw, I'm kind of proud of her for deleting her Twitter.)

I'm just saying. I know there are way worse situations you could be in, in this world, like being homeless, or jobless, etc. But this "hardship" that is put on people in the entertainment industry just seems kind of unnecessary.

Think of how much time we've wasted, myself included, reading a gossip site or a tabloid magazine. That energy that was used worrying about people who we don't even know personally could have been used worrying about real problems of this earth.

I guess I understand the fascination. There are a lot of bad things in this world that seem impossible to fix so instead of trying we just shift our attention to other people's drama.

But that doesn't mean it's right.

I guess I'm just in a little bit of a cynical mood right now. But I really do wish I could go a day without hearing about their "unconfirmed relationship" on the TV.

Trip Down Memory Lane

So I was going through some old posts on my other blog (www.jillanajones.blogspot.com)

And I found THIS little jewel.

basically it's my blog post after I finished reading Eclipse for the first time. I never got around to that book review. Doing it now seems a little redundant.

My Life Before Twilight

While I don't remember much of what life was like before I met Bella and Edward, I do remember that there was another movie series that I was obsessed about.

Toy Story.

It's been 10 years, but they have finally made the next installment of the Toy Story series, and it comes out June 2010...around the same time as Eclipse. :)

Here's the trailer!!!

Big Decisions.

I've recently decided that I didn't want to see any of the trailers or previews of New Moon before I saw the movie.

I decided this after I had seen the first two little trailers that they put out so I HAVE seen a bit. But I stopped after the one that they played before Bandslam.

So I have not seen the awesomeness of the one that they showed at during the VMA's. But boy did I hear about it.

There have been many times where I have been tempted to watch the trailer. It's everywhere. well...right now it's only on the internet. But I'm always on the internet. So...it's seems to be haunting me.

But I'm strong. It's kind of like outta sight outta mind. I realized that the reason why waiting for Twilight was unbearable was because I was so excited! I was online everyday reading things on the Twilight Lexicon, and watching Twilight Tuesdays, and watching all of the sneak peeks. But now, since I haven't really been filling my days with everything New Moon I'm not thinking about it too much.

So, it's a social experiment. On fandom, and hype, and I don't know what else. But it should be interesting. I just hope that I'm not less excited because of this.

Originally I thought this experiment of not watching any trailers would only make everything more exciting but..I don't know, maybe some of the excitement was in the fact that I totally bought into the hype. And the hype delivered.

Maybe I'll just watch that one 14 second trailer every time I'm feeling complacent.

Like a drug almost. I need a hit.
