The Movie fanatic site Talks HP and Twilight

Today The Movie Fanatic Site, the folks who had Robert Pattinson listed as one of the hottest young actors and named the Lexicon in their top three Twilight sites earlier in the week, have a post today talking about the similarities in the passionate  fanbases of Twilight and Harry  Potter. They also hint at more to come on April 14th.

Fan visit

We’ve posted things like this from time to time. It’s really great to see over the last two and a half years how people taking Twilight trips has grown from people just stopping in at First Beach and buying a Coke at the Safeway to a really extensive experience.

Here’s one such blogger’s recent trip.

Thanks to Sarah for the heads up and special thanks to ScullingOnSquam  for letting us link to her personal blog.

Canadians Check out Indigo-Chapters

Yesterday we had a ton of emails from non USA fans asking about midnight release parties in their respective countries. We will get an answer for you on that regarding the countries that Borders services.

I knew yesterday in the back of my mind that Indigo-Chapters had posted something awhile back and thanks to one of our posters (Who I totally can’t find right now so tell me who you are and I’ll credit you!) found this link. So Canadians, you are in luck!

Also, if you want to give a bookstore ideas on what they can do beyond trivia and costume contests, visit the Release Party Plaza forum for ideas.

MTV wants your photos—–NOW!

Here’s a message from Larry of MTV blog fame, and his assistant who is collecting the items for him. Please check that your parents have no problem with you submitting photos if you are under 18.

Hello my fellow Twilight fans!

I’m hoping you guys can help me out.

I’m currently editing together a package that will run on-air very soon, and I need something visual that will show the passion of all the devoted fans.

Here’s what I’m thinking: A collage of photos of normal fans, posing with the stars on the set, met them at their hotel, whatever. Each photo needs a star, and one or two fans.

I know several of you have taken these photos, and I’m hoping you have friends who’ve done the same. Could you please send me as many as you can get your hands on?

Feel free to put the word out,………..

I would need these photos today/tonight, so please send them ASAP. Then you can tell everybody to tune in, and maybe see yourself on MTV!

Thanks ……

Larry
 
Email pics to me and I will forward to him.

Borders Announces Midnight Release Parties


The Twilight Lexicon is thrilled to announce today that Borders has been paying attention to the fans’ requests and has stepped up to the plate to grant us all our wish of having midnight release parties for Breaking Dawn!  At this time, we do not have a detailed list of which Borders stores will be participating, but from what we understand, there will be a midnight release party for Breaking Dawn at most Borders, Borders Express, and Waldenbooks around the country.    This doesn’t guarantee that every store will host a party, just that most of them will.  Anyway you slice it, Borders gets our vote of thanks for being the first major bookstore to give Twilight fans this promise!

If you remember back to this time last year, Borders Media.com hosted a book club feature with Stephenie Meyer about Eclipse.  It was a wonderful segment and if you haven’t yet seen it, you can check it out here at BordersMedia.com. 

We also know that Borders has many more things like this in store for Twilight fans and supporters of the Twilight Lexicon.  We thank them for their work and for being there for the fans along the way.  We can’t wait to see what’s next from Borders!

 

MTV TAlks stephenie meyer and Jk ROwling

Stephenie talks to MTV about being compared to JK Rowling and what it might be like to meet her. You can find the interview here. If you leave a comment say you found the link on the Twilight Lexicon!

Beauty inside and out

TCCandler.com named Kristen Stewart to its list of 2008’s 100 Most Beautiful Faces.   Coming in at #43 they state she is "moments away from stardom".  Well, TCCandler, we couldn’t agree with you more!  (*TCCandler is a PG-13 site)

Remember you can still vote for Kristen at MSNBC.

Thank you Nollie sending us this link!

Prom Night! Kellan’s New Movie

Kellan Lutz has a new movie opening this weekend called Prom Night.  

"Donna’s senior prom is supposed to be the best night of her life. After surviving a horrible tragedy, she has finally moved on and is enjoying her last year of high school. Surrounded by her best friends, she should be safe from the horrors of her past. But when the night turns deadly, there is only one person who could be responsible–a man she thought was gone forever. Now, Donna and her friends must find a way to escape the sadistic rampage of an obsessed killer, and survive a night “to die for.” (source Hollywood.com)

Check out the trailer and interview with Kellan here.

And a Shock Til You Drop interview.

ET and Rock the Steph Vote!

For those of you who missed the airing of the Entertainment Tonight segment on TV this evening you can see it here.  Its a little different then what is posted on ETOnline.  If you comment be sure to thank Readtoruin for posting the video from all of us here on the Lexicon!

Also Stephenie still needs your vote on the Time Poll.  Stephen Colbert and Britanny are ahead of her.  Though I think Stephen is cheating…

*kisses* Twilight loves you Stephen but we love Stephenie more!  EDIT: And Steph just Edged out Stephen for 2nd! 

Also, thanks to YOUR votes, Kristen moved from a distant 6th place to 2nd!  Keep up those votes, she is closing in on Dakota!
