4/24 - News of the Day

Here goes:
1. A cute interview with Jasper: Highlights include: "woof, woof" Ha ha, just kidding. In case you didn't remember my dog is named Jasper. https://createpdf.adobe.com/cgi-pickup.pl/PhasesJacksoninterview.pdf?BP=&LOC=en_US&CUS=0329566f0ad34929f92cd8a69647a306&CDS=480FD465-1E34-085C9C


2. A new article from TMF - about Twilight fans with long interview from he biggest fan-sites.
http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/twilight_fandom_interviews/
I feel like my thoughts were plagiarized by the TwilightMoms creator (who obviously also stole my name) when she said:

  • " I have never been affected by a book like this before. There have been a handful of books that have impacted my life but none that has turned my life upside down." Well it could have been me saying that. We may not be the biggest fan site, but we are certainly the funniest/deepest/tastefully enthusiastic. Right?
3. The TMF website has another little article on the popularity of the movie and its' cast. The article isn't particularly meaty but if you want it all, here you go: http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/twilight_controversyapril2008/ Here is a great excerpt:


  • "Twilight is actually the 14th most searched movie on the internet according to IMDbPro’s moviemeter. Twilight ranks higher than Sex and the City: The Movie, The Incredible Hulk, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Speed Racer, and even Indiana Jones 4. Even more surprising is that the film’s 18 listed cast members make up most of the top 30 searched stars on the web."

4. MSN has 3 articles on Twilight

I loved the Catherine article. The first paragraph talks about how she chose to direct Twilight.

5. Stephenie, the Lexicon, and Borders are BFF (one of the few letter codes I know). There are some amazing interviews video interviews with Ms. SM. http://www.bordersmedia.com/shows/borderspresents/meyer.asp

Oodles of other, less significant info can be found on the other sites. From a charity bear collection to Mike Welch interview, there is always more than I can post. I give you the best, you'll have to research rest. Okay?

Cool, lots of fun stuff to read and watch, thanks.
I love the excerpt that talks about the popularity of the movie and the 18 actors cast, and being in the top searched on the internet right now! How awesome is that!
Do you know the real name of the Twilightmoms creator? Is she one of those that's always in the fan pictures?

"A Z pack every day!" Sounds good to me. Ha ha ha!

One of the articles said her name was Lisa Hansen. She's not one I have seen in the fan pics.

I liked Jackson's comment, "We're just a bloodthirsty Brady Bunch" - yet another good T-shirt slogan.

He jokes a lot, but he really seems to get Jasper. And he can play the banjo.

I liked the interview with "Jasper." He seems like a really fun, cool guy. And I think he really seems to get Jasper too. I liked reading his because we haven't had a lot from him yet. Plus I really like Jasper too, I enjoyed seeing the kind of personality Jackson seems to have.

I haven't read everything yet, so I don't get the Z pack thing?

I started to read the articles about the biggest TW fansites. They are long. I'm almost done with the Lexicon one, I liked some of the answers they gave. In particular their favorites lines/parts of the books. It's so awesome to read someone else's feelings when they read a certain part. Alphie's had to do with the "I was that boy" part of Eclipse, where she almost fell off her chair the first time she read that. Pel's was in the meadow when Edward says "you have no idea how that feels" when Bella is tracing designs on his hand and arm. She explains the many feelings and emotions that are behind that one line. Very cool...sigh...
So many things I still want to read, I hope I can find some more time to do it soon.

You could relate. I can't remember which one the Z pack is on though.

And yes, those fan descriptions of favorite parts of the books, send a little shiver don't they?

I don't know if I could ever pick just one best moment, but both of those would be in my top 5. That reminds me of another post I have wanted to start. So much to do, so little time.

Sorry, the Z-pack is the interview with Robert, where he says that he got bronchitis for the first time in his life due to the cold, damp weather. They gave him the Z-pack / antibiotics and he started to feel better nearly immediately, so he says his new motto is "A Z-pack a day for everyone."
