Judd Nelson Sings Dakota Fanning’s Praises
Peter Facinelli Goes to Bat for Bo
Unlike mega blockbusters done by studios, most directors have to struggle for everything they get. They then take a film on the festival circuit in the hopes that someone picks it up for distribution. So do you think Peter made a good pitch?

Eclipse Nominated for Razzies, Giant PR Stunt
I don’t think any of us would argue that the Twilight Saga movies are high art; however, there is a difference between not high art and truly dreadful. In our opinion, the plot, acting, production values of Eclipse doesn’t fall into the truly dreadful category.
Kaleb Nation has a great video explaining why Eclipse and several Eclipse Actors are nominated for this year’s Razzie Awards.
Personally we love Jodelle Ferland who stated on her Twitter account, “LOL I love how Eclipse got all those Razzie nominations…when we all know it was one of the best movies of the year :)”
And best ever in regards to the Razzie’s were Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock showing up to collect their Razzie Awards the same year they won the Oscar. If they win, Rob, Kristen, Taylor, and Jackson should show up and raz the Razzies!
The Lexicon gets a Mobile Facelift
When the Lexicon started in March 2006 we never considered that anyone would be reading the blog or having discussions on the forum with anything other than a traditional computer. Heck, we didn’t know that many people who even had laptops back then.
Today that has all changed, and while the Lexicon has had a mobile site for several years to help people on Blackberry, IPhone, etc. , today we want to unveil our new look for the ever increasing number of folks who view us on smart phone browsers. We hope that you agree with us that this is a visually pleasing and easier-to-use format.
We want to thank Openhome, one of our Forum Moderators for all the new Mobile artwork. She created the splash screen that you see to the left(it’s what shows while our app is loading) among other things. We’d also like to give a shout out to Jazz Girl, Edwards Wheels, VirginiaMay, and roo-roo91 for testing the mobile version of the forums, and rounding up other testers. And of course a huge TY to our resident tech guru 24601 for getting this to all work!
To access our mobile site, just visit us with your smart phone’s Internet browser. As a reminder, each mobile device is different, and so the images you see may be slightly different than the ones shown. [Read more…]
James Franco, Yale, and a Twilight Spoof Musical?
Our friends over at the Twilight News Site caught wind of an article in the Yale University Newspaper. James Franco (yes THAT James Franco) is a doctoral student there. It seems like James still has this Twilight obsession going and is now turning it into a live performance parody…maybe. Details are sketchy, but The Twilight News Site has a link to the Yale article and some really good blow-by-blow commentary, and a history of Franco and Twilight. Here’s there lead in:
“There is a confusing article in the Yale University student newspaper, about a confusing film/stage production, led by confusing doctoral student James Franco, which is thought to be a confusing version of “Twilight.” Or “High School Musical.” But with more sex, violence, and “surrealism.”
We already know that Franco is a big Twilight fan, although his take on the films seems to be limited to the notion of “What do girls want? Do they even know?” And we already know that Franco asked Bill Condon if he could appear in “Breaking Dawn,” and was given an unequivocal “no.” So this, it appears, is Franco’s response…”
Check out the full editorial on The Twilight News Site.
In case anyone is wondering about the legalities of such a venture, if something is a true spoof/parody (in other words an over-the-top comedic send-up that no one could mistake for a serious sequel/prequel) then that is fine to do. That’s how SNL, Jimmy Fallon, and similar shows can do their Twilight Spoofs/parodies.
