A Twilight Saga Fansite
Remember, tonight at 11:59 eastern time is when we are picking the two random people who will receive a pair of Creation Entertainment Gold Passes (one pair is for Minneapolis and the other is for Phoenix).
Check out this entry for details on how to have a chance at these passes.
As many of you observed in our comments the David Slade interview sounded a little off on FearNet. Some of the quotes didn’t really make sense. Well there’s a perfectly logical explanation, apparently somewhere along the line David got misquoted, and FearNet has revised the article(we bolded some differences but there are others), notably:
“What will differ about Slade’s Twilight? “I don’t really know. We haven’t even started shooting yet.” While the director says he has a basic idea of what he wants to do with it, he is more concerned with telling a good story than being “different.” “It is darker, and there is a lot more action than the previous two,” he admits. “The third book is from Bella’s point of view, but the film will be more objective.” And just how will he do that? “We are going to focus on the origin stories of several characters, like Jasper, and show how Bella will decide between Edward and Jacob.”
David didn’t read the books until the studio was interested in bringing him in – then he did his homework. “It was tough for a middle-aged man to get into,” he admits, “from the point of view of a 17 year old girl. But once I got past that, I found them to be really good stories.” He is especially excited about the great script from Dexter writer/producer Melissa Rosenberg. Right now, they are still in preproduction, with plans to start shooting later in the year.”
Now with player/link that should work. See below.
Pel and Be My Escape (Laura and Jen) were able to interview 100 Monkeys after their CD signing at the Barnes and Noble located at the Promenade Shops in Center Valley, PA.
The band was great. They had signed over 300 CDs in just over an hour. If you’ve ever been to a signing you know how impressive that rate is because usually things take longer than that. So we caught up with them in the store room at B&N which had been converted into an interview space.
Throughout the interview Jackson would randomly pick up a ukulele that was Spencer Bell’s and he’d strum along a bit. Jackson and Jerad are probably the most naturally talkative, but the two Ben’s had great things to say when they did speak up. They area really relaxed bunch, that was completely gracious to everyone they encountered whether it was tongue-tied 13-year-old girls, or a B&N employee asking for a photo because her shift was ending and she was going home.
You can tell that the guys just feed off each others energy in an interview, just as they do when performing on stage. They are constantly laughing and goading each other during the interview in a good-natured way. Whether it’s miming dying of the heat at Khyber, joking about their long-distance driving skills, or Ben G teasing Jackson that his love of banjo comes from Southern inbreeding that in turn caused Jackson to fling a black sharpie right at Ben, you can tell how much they enjoy each others company.
Rather then type out an entire transcript, we’ve put a few key notes under the cut so you can tell who’s taking when. Other than the first minute when the guys were all chiming in at once, it’s pretty clear who is who.

A very happy birthday to our Esme.
Liz celebrates turning 34 today.
The 100 Monkeys had a CD signing at the Barnes and Noble at the Promenade Shops in Center Valley, PA on June 14th. Jackson, Ben, Ben, Jerad, and Uncle (who came along and played percussion at their gig later on) were all on hand for the CD signing.
Given what we are used to the crowd was really low key, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t excited. They just didn’t scream the whole time, which was a really refreshing change. A local TV crew covered the story. Their video is below. We also had a chance to interview the band and we’ll have that audio up shortly, we’re just finishing the transcript now.
We also have some fabulous high-def video coming your way. The lighting at Croc Roc was way better than Khyber (which was like shooting footage in a cave) so we’ll have some awesome video for you once we finish editing. Cullen Boys Anonymous was also there. We’re looking forward to their pictures once they have a chance to upload.
Way back in April we did a poll about Jacob New Moon Songs however I had already created the list without getting input from everyone.(I know, I know silly me) So here is your chance to disucss which song you think will best represent Jacob in New Moon.
As always please put links and not entire song lyrics in your posts!! Also Please make sure to put the Song Name and Artist name in case I need to locate the song. As always this is just for FUN and has nothing to do with the actual soundtrack for New Moon. Thank you!!!
As for my choice it is still between Be My Escape by Relient K (motorcycles!!) and It’s Not Over by Daughtry( this would be for the last scene when they are talking by the tree). Than of course there is Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace. Ok I am stopping I promise!!! Post some new songs so I can see what I am missing!!
~~Be My Escape
PS- I Almost forgot to mention the Edward music poll!! So this was a very itneresting Poll because we ahd to have 2 poll boxes and in the first one Trip by Hedley won with 25% of the vote and in the second one it is nearly a tie with Fix You by Coldplay with 31% and What I’ve Done by Linkin Park with 33%. Those are some serious numbers!!
Follow along on Twitter with Pel and Be My Escape (Laura and Jen) as they hit the road to see 100 Monkeys. They will be tweeting their experience as things happen. If you think of a last minute question for the band, send them an @ message.
FearNet caught up with David Slade at the Dark Delicacies signing the other night and here is what he had to say in regards to Eclipse:
“…“I don’t really know. We haven’t even started shooting yet.” While the director says he has a basic idea of what he wants to do with it, he is more concerned with telling a good story than being “different.” “It is darker, and there is a lot more action than the previous two,” he admits. “The third book is from Bella’s point of view, but the film will be more objective.” And just how will he do that? “We are going to focus on the origin stories of several characters, like Jacob, and show how Bella will decide between Edward and Jacob.”
Unfortunately Taylor Lautner’s movie magic did not rub off on his hometown hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings.
Taylor and his dad were there at game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals where the Red Wings lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 2-1 heartbreaker.
