Aziz Ansari Tweets While Watching Twilight

azizActor Aziz Ansari of the sitcom Parks and recreation started watching Twilight and has been Tweeting his reactions. The picture to the left is his reaction to Bella not figuring out Edward was a vampire sooner.

Some of the the better comments (which, FYI do contain non-PG-13 language) include:

“You better hold on tight spider monkey.” Same thing I say anytime a date steps in my Kia Sportage.

“I can’t read your mind, you have to tell me what your thinking…” Now you know how us non-vampire bro’s feel Edward!!

That kid with the six pack is this movie but he’s not in shape yet and he needs a haircut. Weird

Doesn’t the 6 pack kid turn into wolf in New Moon? Hard to believe a person that turns into wolf is into Twizzlers.

Check out his full commentary here. Aziz claims he will be doing the same with New Moon. TY to Christy0611 for letting us know.

Moviefone: Twilight in Forks Documentary Interview

We met the folks who were making the Twilight in Forks documentary last summer when we attended the Summer School in Forks Twilight Convention. This was back before Summit Entertainment or any other major distributor got involved. We can attest to the fact that the filmmakers were very low key and unassuming; however, unlike many we have met, they were very Twilight savvy and non-judgmental! In fact it was a two-man, father & son, crew that we met.  They were very relaxed and very “unHollywood” wearing flannel shirts, tees, and jeans when we met them.  We have no idea if we are in the final cut of the documentary or not, but we are definitely planning to get it.

Was there a difference between how the younger residents reacted, versus the older ones?
Brown: For the most part they’re all aware of it; many of them have read the books and seen the movie. When you put yourself in the shoes of a high school kid, they’re a little confused by it: “I grew up here, I don’t get what’s the big deal?” But nobody was dismissive or angry, or thought it was weird. Everybody in Forks, regardless of their age, can see there’s a huge benefit, to the spirit of the town, the vivaciousness of what’s going on there. Regardless of how they feel about the story, it’s had an impact on their life which is positive; for that reason they are excited by it.
Baur: The demographic isn’t as young as everyone thinks [I nod my head enthusiastically at this]. It’s a small town, so the connectivity amongst individual people is much greater. You have to give the school a huge credit; in a town this size the school is the center of the town. We were invited to the graduation of Forks High School, to a football game — and the entire community is there. The school has done a great job at involving the kids in it. Here’s a great example: people from around the globe are e-mailing the school, funny e-mails to ‘excuse Edward from class’ and that kind of thing. What they do is funnel these to the ASB (Associated Student Body) and they handle these e-mails.

USA Today discusses Graphic Novel

USA Today covers the release of the Twilight Graphic Novel Part One which goes on sale at midnight tonight.  They talked to artist Young Kim about illustrating the book.

Kim says: “It is always difficult to visualize text, since everyone has a different interpretation of it, but I tried to be as faithful as possible to the descriptions in the book, and Stephenie’s review and input were greatly helpful.”

The article also sites a poll that we ran about fans of the series interest in purchasing the book and spoke with Pel about the possible popularity the book would have.  Speaking for all fans out there, Pel said, “The movies are great, but I think we all want a new book by Stephenie Meyer.”
