Eclipse Music Poll based on Stephenie Meyer’s Playlist!!

February 8, 2010

It has been a long time since we’ve talked music and done a poll. So here is the first music poll for Eclipse. We decided to take a look at what Stephenie used to inspire her writing. I must admit this is one of my favorite playlists that she created. I can see the progression of the book through the song choices and I just love it! So as always there is a poll for everyone to tell us which song they think most represents Eclipse off of Stephenie’s playlist (click the songs titles to refresh your memory). And just for good conversation, which song do think best represents the ending?? Stephenie has 5 listed because she couldn’t decide can you? Let us know in the comments.

Now for my picks, and this was not easy!! These are in no particular order.

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot-Brand New, is by far one of my favorites. I am pretty sure it is a Jacob song and I do have a soft spot for him. It just represents the feel of him giving it all up, the pack, Bella.

And if it makes you less sad
I’ll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself out

Mr. Brightside-The Killers, ahh jealousy! This song could be for either Jacob or Edward although my vote is it is an Edward song. There are so many moments of doubt that this song covers and it was interesting to waht that play out in the book. I am hoping for the same in the Movie!

Jealousy turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me

Hysteria-Muse. I really just love this song and it reminds me of craziness that each of the characters goes through.

And I want you now
I want you now
I’ll feel my heart implode
And I’m breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

Robert Pattinson in Scottish Daily Record

February 8, 2010

Rob talks to the Daily Record about everything from his Bel Ami shoot ( when you read the article you just know that the Uma Thurman quote is destined to be requoted and rehashed out-of-context for the next year), to his loss of privacy, to Breaking Dawn.

“He is also set to star in the final Twlight film based on the books Breaking Dawn, which may be broken into two films, due to the number of books.

He admits to mixed emotions about the end of the saga.

He said: “”It will be strange but it will be great just to be able to know what I’m doing. Not knowing when Breaking Dawn is going to shoot – because it changes all the time – is a kind of burden, to have this thing where you don’t know when it’s going to happen.

“So you’ve got to organise everything in your life around that and that can be difficult.”

Taylor Lautner’s Hometown Sends Valentines Wishes

February 8, 2010

File this under just too cute for words. Taylor Lautner’s hometown decided to send their local boy Valentine’s Day cards in honor of his Hollywood success and in honor of teh title of his current movie.

“In a matter of a couple of weeks, The Press received hundreds of pieces of mail: letters, poems, cards and gifts, all of them very sweet.

None were cuter than a batch of four cards we received from Grand Rapids’ Amaya sisters: Amber, 11; Shelby, 10; Quinn, 5; and Addison, 3.

“Of course, the younger ones are into whatever the older ones are into, so they all had to make cards,” said Mom, Cynthia Amaya.

At the Amaya house, the squeal factor hits its highest with sixth-grader Amber.

“(She) is obsessed with the ‘Twilight’ series and can’t wait for the next movie (‘Eclipse’) to come out in June,” Amaya said. “She’s already planning her birthday around the release of the movie. Christmas presents were all about ‘Twilight’ — shirts, bracelets, you name it.”

Artistically speaking, Amber’s card was made in the shape of a heart and featured “Be Mine” in little heart drawings. Younger sisters Quinn and Addison drew pictures of themselves with Lautner (although — shhhh, don’t tell anybody — Addison is more of an Edward fan).

Fifth-grader Shelby was a little more subdued, saying, “What’s up!” on her card, then proclaiming: “I Hope You Have the Best Valentine’s Day Ever!”

Peter Facinelli Brings the House Down in Temeluca

February 8, 2010

By all accounts Peter Facinelli was a smash hit where upwards of 1,000 people turned out to get an autograph and photo (with part of the proceeds going to charity).

According to the Southwest Riverside News:

“Thousands of Southwest Riverside Twi-hards braved sheets of rain and crowded into the plaza for a glimpse of Facinelli. All waited patiently in lines that stretched in a seemingly endless queue throughout the mall.

The event was part of an effort to raise funds for UNICEF with a portion of the proceeds going towards helping the Haiti earthquake victims. At $25 for autographs and $40 for a photo, it is expected that a considerable sum will be raised to benefit the Haiti relief efforts.”

According to the Press Enterprise (they also have video coverage if you click the link):

“A queue of more than 2,000 people stretched from the platform, where Facinelli awaited flushed-faced teens, past several storefronts.

Some people waited for upwards of five hours with “Twilight” books, posters and T-shirts in hand for a chance to get their keepsakes signed, as well as a chance to hug, shake hands — and get a kiss on the cheek from Facinelli.

“I’m never washing my face again,” a hyperventilating Lynzie Maloney shrieked as she bounded from the mall with her best friend Rachel Barraza, who was also close to tears.

“This is the best day of my life,” screamed Rachel, whose hands were shaking with excitement.”

And what did Peter have to say about all of this?

He turned his IPhone around to film the crowd and Tweeted it! Then he told the press, “You never get used to it, I’m surprised every time I show up,” he said. “It makes you feel that you have done something right, and it’s great to see so many people come out and support a great cause.

“The crowd here has been awesome.”

When Is a Vampire Not a Vampire

February 8, 2010

Everyone is entitled to a mistake, but this one left us laughing. We are wondering if the staff at the arts section of the New York Times somehow missed all the New Moon trailers where Taylor Lautner morphs into a giant CGI wolf on screen, or missed the whole Team Edward (vampire) vs. Team Jacob (werewolf) thing.

The article itself is just a summary of previously released information that Nikki Finke and Variety broke last week, but check out the title. Maybe they were remembering the above photo from an old Twilight PR shoot?

Breaking Up Twilight Style

February 7, 2010

An actress from the Philippines, Shaina Magdayao, used a Twilight analogy to explain why she broke up with her actor boyfriend, John Pratts, and what she’s looking for in the future. She told the Phillippines Daily Inquirer:

“I like men who are mature. Guys like Jacob are still young and adventurous. They always want to explore,” Shaina explained. “I want to be able to look up to the person I’m with. With Edward [types], I feel I can discuss so many things. I find Edward very interesting. He has so many experiences in life that he can share with a girl. I want to be with a partner who is like him.”

Lexicon readers may remember that roughly a year ago there was a rumor that ran wild on the Internet for a weekend that there would be a Twilight TV series in the Philippines, and that it would star Shaina. In fact there was even a fake poster to (see left) to go along with the rumor.

Volvo Sales Increase, and Twilight’s To Blame

February 7, 2010

Silver Volvo

According to Crains’s Chicago Business:

“James Bond has inspired sales of Aston Martins and BMWs with his super-cool onscreen wheels. Now a vampire who drives a Volvo is getting the attention of young drivers.

Since the release of “Twilight” in 2008, teens and young adults have been drawn to the Volvo C30, driven by the character Edward Cullen.

“All these teenagers were going crazy about the C30,” says Carmelo Scalzo, general manager of Volvo of Oak Park. “After the movie launched, we saw this spike in C30 sales. We didn’t know what had happened until we put two and two together.”

Now they are talking about the slick, bright silver car used in Twilight (Pel affectionately calls this this vehicle Herbie the Lovebug on speed). No one has any real data on the dark colored SUV-like vehicle used in New Moon. It will be interesting to see if this time next year the sales will have increased for that vehicle as well.

“I love football,” he told Page 2. “I miss my high school days where I played. I was going to college for (football) and then acting came up so I had to put school on hold and now I’m on this acting adventure.”

Despite his love for the game, he’ll be the first to admit he made the right choice when it comes to career success.

“I don’t think I’m tall enough, big enough or strong enough to be in the Super Bowl,” he said. “I just miss playing football and getting hit and hitting people.”
