New Moon board game

ashley.chill1863pill@gmail.com (Ashley) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:07:00 +0000

I got the New Moon board game today. It's pretty much the same as the Twilight one. I played it with my mom and little sister and I lost...but if you know the Twilight one, you know that it's not based on knowledge. My little sister won because my mom rolled a 7.

There are 3 different covers for the game. I was like OMG I need them all. Then I read them and found they were all the same so I only got one. And my mom was like "Ash, let's be rational". Does anyone else have it? There were some questions that came up and they were from the movie and not the book but still loosely related so it was cool. The movie is going to be AMAZING!!! You got hints as to how the movie will be and it's pretty crazy. It's SOO exciting that the date is coming up!!!

Rob confirms date of start of shooting for Breaking Dawn!

peacelovetwilight@gmail.com (Anna~Admin) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:47:00 +0000

From FEARNet:

"I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall of next year," Pattinson said, adding that Summit "may well change that."

"Depending on how things go I'm doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, which is an adaptation of a Guy de Maupassant novel," he continued. "And I'm doing, I hope, a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well.

He described his role in Unbound Captives, which coincidentally will bring Pattinson in close contact again with Native American culture – not Quileute, but Comanche. "I'm playing a kid who is kidnapped by Comanches when he was four years old, and he is brought up by them. His mother spends her entire life trying to find me and my sister. When she finds us, we can't remember who she is and can't remember anything about the Western culture she grew up in. I speak Comanche the whole movie. You can't really speak more differently from Edward."

Of course, Breaking Dawn remains officially unconfirmed by Summit. Even screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg was mum on the subject when we spoke with her earlier this month. The hesitation concerning Breaking Dawn may involve the mature nature of its plot points and the rumored possibility of dividing it into two separate films. But if Pattinson's penciling Breaking Dawn into his schedule, then so are we.

YAHOOTIE! A quick start to shooting can never be a bad thing...

Harper's Bazaar Photo Shoot + Interview... DEAD

peacelovetwilight@gmail.com (Anna~Admin) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:15:00 +0000

Subscriber's Edition (Why don't I subscribe to HB? WHY?!)

Newsstand Edition (incomplete)

Pardon me, I just fell on the floor after seeing these pictures.

Rob and Kristen posed for the December issue of Harper's Bazaar and answered some questions too.

ROB: "My dad's a car dealer, but I grew up in London, so I always say I don't drive…I get driven. I got a driving lesson in Oregon, and then I bought a car in L.A. and I basically learned how to drive by people honking at me. I'm terrible at driving."

KRISTEN, on what animal she'd be: "With cats, you’re like, 'Come here!' And they're standing there being like, 'F*** you!'"

R: "In London, doing the washing was a bi-annual thing, a giant mission. Me and my flatmate had BMX [bikes] and we'd have two of them and this massive laundry sack, a convoy."

K: "I think it's sexy when chicks wear black slouchy trousers -- fitted, but slouchy. I look at designer clothes on Rob and I'm like, 'I want those pants, man.'"

R: "I kind of wish people didn't know who I am, that I could just lie, say I'm a speechwriter for Obama. This is what I said before Twilight. And then Obama came along and picked up all these young writers. I found out this guy, Jon Favreau -- who's not the actor Jon Favreau -- is writing for him. And I was like, 'Wow, I wonder if the people who thought I was bullshitting at the time are like, 'Oh my god. That guy! That kid who was drunk in some bar actually wrote the health care bill!'"

K: "I’m 5'6". I feel like I should be taller. I feel like I'm smaller than my mental stature. I should be 5'10". 5'10" would be very good."

R: "I don't spend any money. The only thing I've really bought is my car, which cost $1,500 and keeps exploding. It would be nice to buy a house for my parents, but at the same time my parents are so comfortable where they live; they would probably just feel like it was a burden. I wear the same clothes every day and the only thing I used to splurge on was DVDs."

K: "Anything that I do for work, I'm nervous about. If I'm not nervous about it, then I shouldn't be doing it."

R on modeling: "I peaked at 12. There are so many photos from that time where I look unbearably awkward. I'd just be looking in random directions and stuff."

K: "I make really good pie. Apple pie -- it's the best."

R on dancing: "I used to be really good, but then something happened in my brain."

Love this giggly Rob! He seems truly happy.

HOT.

Note the new PLT banner? This is my fave.

Tender Rob.

Yummm.

Twilight Rap Video - Suck on This

Rob's VF Outtakes, AKA AM I DEAD?

peacelovetwilight@gmail.com (Anna~Admin) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:22:00 +0000

The first thing I asked myself when I saw these outtakes was, "Have I died and gone to heaven?"

EVIDENTLY, Anna, EVIDENTLY. [evidently I also talk to myself]

Rather than working his way through supermodels, Pattinson, who’s been living out of three suitcases for the past year, has been feeling overwhelmed, self-conscious, and guilty. “I’m trying not to drown,” he says in his hotel room at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel, which is littered today with beer bottles, old scrambled eggs, a half-eaten Twix bar, and a dirty pair of jeans on the living-room floor. And he notices that he hasn’t made his bed. “Oh, God. Sorry about that.”
“I’m unbearably self-conscious about stuff,” he admits. To the point where, while filming scenes before the army of New York paparazzi that has been following him around, he is terrified that his “ass crack is showing.”

Despite the fact that he is an exquisite beauty—with perfectly formed red, red lips and a face that might have been dreamed by the Romantic poets—he thinks he resembles “a cartoon character.” One of his legs is longer than the other, which makes him look, he assures you, “like an idiot.”

He’s sure he’s driving people crazy by constantly talking about how he can’t leave his hotel room. And he sees his inability to relish his fans’ reverence as his own shortcoming. “I guess I’m not the type of guy cut out to do a franchise,” he says. “I’m not much of a crowd person.”

[Pattinson’s director from the indie film How to Be, Oliver Irving,] recalls, “he’d make his eyes water and get himself all worked up ... slapping himself and doing everything he possibly could to make him feel ill,” while passersby wondered what the hell was the matter with this guy.
When you play a weirdo, he explains, “You can always have an excuse... He’s a weirdo!”

“What Rob and Kristen had is a multitude of feelings for each other. Complex feelings for each other,” says Hardwicke. “It was what we needed. Complex, intense fascination.”

Pattinson, for his part, says of Stewart: “She’s influenced how I’ve done all the Twilight stuff. It’s quite nice to have someone who is genuinely indifferent to the whole spectacle of everything.”

For the record, however, Pattinson says the rumors of a love affair are false: “It doesn’t make any difference what you say [to the tabloids]. I’ve literally been across the country [from Kristen], and it’s like ‘Oh, they were on secret dates!’ It’s like ‘Where? I can’t get out of my hotel room!’ ” Stewart is even more emphatic: “It’s so retarded,” she says. “We’re characters in this comic book.”

THE GUITAR.

GOD.

The piano. The "Sex Driven People" book. The lobster bib. THE ROB.

Need I say more?

Nikki Reed & Kellan Lutz can be found between the covers of November's issue of Nylon Magazine.

"We were just making a little independent film in Portland," says Nikki Reed of the movie that changed her life. "I don't know what happened."

What happened is that Twilight exploded from a book beloved by teenage girls to become one of the cultural phenomenons of a decade. The film grossed nearly $400 million worldwide and made tabloid staples of stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and, increasingly, the rest of the cast too.

Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie Hale, shakes her head increedulously: "We've lived this entire year in shock."

A Very Twilighty Halloween

peacelovetwilight@gmail.com (Anna~Admin) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:25:00 +0000

Hope everyone had a very fun and exciting (perhaps Twilighty-fresh?) Halloween!

You may or may not have carved yo'self some jack-o'-lanterns this Halloween, but I think it's safe to say that if you did, they didn't look this hot:

(click pumpkins for full size!)

These beauties were carved by pumpkin artist extraordinaire, Tom Ziemann. He put them up for display in one of Portland, Oregon's most popular restaurants- Oba Restaurant. They let me know about this artist's amazing talent.

Here are more of his beauties:

Gollum

Nosferatu

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The Howling

Jacob Black (wolf form!)

And here are a few tips on preserving your pumpkins from Tom, for future reference:

"Keep your pumpkin cold and out of the sun.

Two things happen to pumpkins once they are carved:
1) They dry out and shrivel,
2) And/or they mold.

To protect against dryness and mold, cover your carving with plastic wrap.
Keep it in the refrigerator or someplace dark & cold when it's not on display.
Be sure to mist it each and every time you light it up. Do this before putting it away.
Your carving has been treated with a light coating of 'Pam' to help reduce
shriveling and stop it from bleeding.

You can revive a shriveled pumpkin by soaking it in cold water for 1 to 8 hours.
In the bathtub, be sure to put it on its non carved side, or use a large bucket.
After removing it from the water, let it drain for ½ an hour and then
dry it carefully.
If your pumpkin molds (turns soft) there's really nothing you can do.

Important note:
I DO NOT recommend burning a candle to illuminate your pumpkin.
Use an electric light bulb or a battery powered source. If you choose to use
a candle, be sure to put the candle flame directly under the chimney
(on the top of your pumpkin) and only burn it for a few hours at a time.
Mist your pumpkin inside & out with a fine spray of water after each use."

Email Tom with any questions about his art here.

Taylor Shirtless vs Miley's picture

ashley.chill1863pill@gmail.com (Ashley) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:07:00 +0000

(I try)

Yeah, "Taylor Shirtless" caught my attention and I'm writing it.

Ok, first apparently Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift are going out, cool eh? A little awkward with the same first name but love 'em both.

Next, the purpose of this is that people thinks it's bad that Taylor can be shirtless but Miley can't. I would just like to point out that if Taylor stops being shirtless there will certainly be tears. No doubt. I think the people that have a problem with this haven't ever taken a close look at him shirtless...seriously, that's swoon worthy. I think Miley should be allowed to be wrapped in a blanket and Taylor should be allowed to be shirtless even though they are like 15 (when it happened) and 17. If that's what they want. Now I wouldn't personally try it but then again, I wouldn't bungee jump, I don't see that stopping people.

All in all, what do ya think? (Oh, this is exciting, people wrote to me. I know I've said that but YAY!! Thank you sooo much)

Fanfiction Review: Torn in Two by Addicted to Edward

All poor Leah Clearwater wants to do is go for a run and try and clear her head. But between an encounter with Sam Uley, a glimpse of Victoria, her father, and the change of a lifetime, clearing her head turns out to be harder then imaginable.

In the one-shot, Torn in Two by Addicted to Edward, we are given the story of how Leah becomes a shapeshifter. A girl becoming a werewolf causes great shock throughout the pack and beyond, and only Alpha wolf Sam can help Leah through this huge life change. Sam-the last person in the world she wants reading her thoughts and telling her what to do. As Leah realizes what her life will now be, her heart hardens.

Torn in Two takes a small moment from New Moon and provides giant results. Addicted to Edward not only gives readers Leah's mind frame as she enters a whole new stage of her life, but she gives us glimpses of the wolf pack during a critical part of the story: when Bella is jumping from the cliff and what follows from there. Addicted's Leah is portrayed as broken hearted, trying to work through this heartbreak in her life. And turning into a werewolf doesn't help her; it only makes things worse for Leah.

Torn in Two is a one-shot that provides so much depth to a crucial moment that we never see in New Moon. Leah's transformation, and the following results from that moment, shows us a girl who is caught in a situation that is tearing her apart. Torn in Two is a terrific piece of fanfiction, told from a point of view that we see little of, and reminds us that not only Bella's heart is broken in New Moon.

Rated: PG-13

"Defining New Moon"

Vocabulary Workbook for Unlocking the *SAT, ACT^®, GED^®, and SSAT^®

October 26, 2009 – Why is Bella desolate and haggard? Will Jacob win her over with his infectious affability? Can Edward dare to flout the rules and summon the belligerent ire of the Volturi?

Test prep expert Brian Leaf is back with the follow-up to his popular Defining Twilight workbook! With Defining New Moon (Wiley; 978-0-470-53299-7; October 2009), students can reunite with Edward, Bella, and Jacob to learn more than 700 vocabulary words and synonyms found on the *SAT, ACT®, GED®, and SSAT®.

After only five months online, the Defining Twilight Facebook page has garnered more than 60,000 fans. Ordinarily you'd have to be Edward Cullen or at least vampy hunk Robert Pattinson to attract that kind of fan base. Why are these study guides so popular with students?

Leaf dishes, "The Twilight books contain a plethora of outstanding SAT vocabulary words, and fans are hungry for anything Twilight. It's a great synergy. When students find out about the Defining Twilight series, they are shocked, 'You mean I can raise my scores while reading Twilight? It feels like cheating!'"

Here’s the lowdown on the most recent guide, Defining New Moon:

Each chapter of the workbook gives you eight words taken from New Moon, with page references to read the words in context
Students define the words on their own before turning back to the workbook for actual definitions
Drills and quizzes help readers review and integrate what they've learned
Synonyms, Latin word parts, and memorization tools are included throughout the workbook

Just in time for the movie release on November 20 and right before the holiday season, Defining New Moon makes for the perfect gift or stocking stuffer!

About the Author:

Brian Leaf, M.A. is the owner and director of the New Leaf Learning Center in Western Massachusetts.
