New Moon cast promote the movie!

Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie!

Not long now twi fans! I can’t wait but I also have to study next year so I’m tired these days.

Well if I’m tired, the cast of TheTwilight Saga New Moon are exhausted travelling the world promoting the first sequel to Twilight. Of course they are having fun doing it unlike me. Here are some photos from their travels. Check out Kristen Stewart’s outfits. Why doesn’t anything look right on her?. Does she have the worst dress sense or is that just me? …Maybe. Photos courtesy of whom ever I got them from. Just place curser over photo and see. I know, lazy. Enjoy the photos anyway twi buddies.  And please …let me know what you thought of the  movie. Take care,    Annie.     

Junkets, jokes and just junk!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!

Well Twi fans, the countdown is nearing it’s end and they’re everywhere. If their image is not covering every surface, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are burning up aviation fuel by the ton jetting around the world to promote New Moon, the very first sequel to the Twilight Saga. I’ve spent a whole day on an airplane…it’s not funny.  (Pics mtv.com - Rob and Chris in  Japan and Kristen and Taylor in Brazil. Pic: examiner.com)                   

What’s is funny however is the commentary that comes from the endless interviews. A mindless stream of drivel about asinine topics. I gave up after a while because what they had to say was too boring.

Sorry I’ve been away and didn’t get to some of the questions you asked. I will address them in the comment section where ever I find them. For now I will fill you in on what I did  find interesting in the news this week.

News in brief!

Robert Pattinson (here on in known as RP) goes to Tokyo, Japan. RP leaves Tokyo. RP goes back to LA. RP leaves LA and goes to France, same with Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner (here on in, known as KS and TL). In other words blah blah blah! (Ok, that wasn’t really interesting). Oh! and KS said “fiending” in an interview. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, ha ha ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha and she graduated high school with honours. (Must not have been in English). Well it was funny when I read it. Geez!

Sorry, faithful Twi fans…but it always cracks me up when famous teenagers try to sound interesting, complex and smart. FYI…you just sound young. To be interesting you have to have lived a life and at 19 KS is nowhere near interesting. However she did ”do” something worthy lately. She actually did something for charity. Check out the pic with legend Sugar Ray Leonard at the LA Dodger Staduim along with 15,ooo others in support of Diabetes. Well done!

This Team Jacob fan officially became bored with Taylor Lautner when he started the same lark as Robert and Kristen of not answering a direct question about his relationship with Taylor Swift. When asked if he was dating Taylor Swift the “sullen of late” Taylor said ” The funny thing is, all of you have seen every single move I make, so I guess I can leave that up to you to decide “. Meaning make up your own answer. Taylor wants to stay unattached for his fans me thinks! And what did poor Taylor Swift have to say. This…” I don’t know ” (if we’re an item). “He’s an amazing guy and we’re really close “. Looks like the two Taylors need to get something straight. Well TL, keeping us out of the loop is cool, it’s none of our nosy business anyway, but tell her buster and don’t leave her believin’ otherwise. Keep it real  man!

Another far more interesting gem was the poll that teamed MTV and Fandango recently. They asked a series of questions and probably weren’t expecting the answers they got. Here’s a summary. Check out MTV.com for the rest.

Who is most like their character in Twilight?…47% said Ashley Greene.

Who is the best looking?…41% said Ashley Greene.

Which one is most likely to have their own spin off movie?…57% said Ashley Greene. Catchin’ the drift?  Hmmm interesting! Ashley is the most popular Twilight girl and not Kristen.

Whilst Ashley has become a firm favourite with the fans, Director Chris Weitz is also a favourite. 57% chose him to direct Breaking Dawn. Weitz was humbled but said wait and see the movie first and go see Eclipse too. How can anyone make a decision on who should direct when we haven’t even seen New Moon yet, never mind Eclipse. Silly people!.

But the silly prize goes to the fans who answered this question. Who will be first to get an oscar in their career? 43% said RP, 23% said KS, 1% said Anna Kendrick and 29% said Dakota Fanning. I would have said without a shadow of a doubt that Anna and Dakota were certain to get Oscars before Rob or Kristen.

You guys do know that celebrity is not the same thing as talent right?. But what do I know lol!.

Take care,

New Moon Calendars 2010.

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!

Check out these new New Moon Edward and Jacob calendars.

And what about this cool loop clip of Bella’s rescue by Jacob. Cool eh!

 See ya later   … Annie  

New Moon photo ops and fun!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!

Well Twi fans, the end is in sight and I’m so looking forward to the movie New Moon, the first sequel to the Twilight Saga. There’s a lot riding on this movie. I am expecting a high standard of acting, directing and especially CGI. The Edward fans (otherwise confused as Robert Pattinson fans) will love it no matter what, but those of us who are movie fans…who are fans of the book genre  (God, I said that awful word - sorry!) and believe the book series itself deserved the very best of all three, will be scathing in our criticism if it fails to deliver. (Pic courtesy of Harpers Bazaar photo shoot)

People are so overly impressed with Kristen, Robert, Taylor and the cast that they never fully cast a critical eye on their work. This time Twi fans I want you guys to really look at the acting and tell me if you felt they were worth the millions they get paid for their portrayal of the characters or not, ok? ok!. Way cool!

No not now sillies..after you see New Moon!  Geez Louise  (am so sticking out my tongue right now!)

Now let’s move on to other stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QhjDXD5bkY Rob singing “I’ll be your lover too“.

Personally I think his voice is overrated. Now I’m not saying that to be mean nor am I saying that from a purely ignorant point of view either. I have studied music and classical violin in the past and his voice does not appeal to me. It’s mind boggling the amount of famous singers out there that any decent vocal coach worth their salt would never call a singer. The whiners, the acrobatic warblers and the nose singers that make my ears bleed. But don’t get me started on that. There is however no denying his magical fingers. To play a piece well you have to understand it and feel it. He can do that.

I saw this interview of Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner on tele13 in Brazil. The obviously tired duo did their best but the travelling showed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMVnOHVcmIg

The wolves Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier along with Christian Serratos and Edi Gathegi at Nordstrom in Canoga park, CA recently. Promotional tour yes, but not all work and no play as these happy faces prove. (Pic justjared).

Now this picture from Twilightersanonymous.com is very interesting. Remember how critical I was of the top original one…and now look at the second later one below it. Same CGI work but look at the difference. The face is much more wolf like. I’m still not impressed with the work so far but I also know how incredibly hard the CGI team work and I will wait and see how it is spliced in. I still think a day trip to see some wolves in action would have been very helpful. Look I like wolves ok so bite me…grrr! ha ha lol..made myself laugh there.

By the way…have you checked out Mac’sTwi Attack page lately. She’s doing a chapter by chapter synopsis of New Moon to bring it all back to you just before the movie. Check it out at www.twilightmovies.org/mac . 

Taylor Lautner has sure come a long way from little long haired 15 year old Jacob Black to 6′5″ and growing 16 year old Jacob (also werewolf) Black. Taylor 17 has aged himself over the past year and by the time Breaking Dawn opens in theatres we will see a very different Taylor. He’s growing up right in front of us.

 Ok well maybe not exactly growing “up”  as the picture below will show , but he has certainly filled out and besides boys are still growing in their late teens, so Taylor could still jump up. If not, he’s still tall in our eyes, right girls?. Team Jacob all the way.And finally a page from Glamour magazine who flew to Vancouver, Canada to catch up with the rest of the Cullen siblings and boy did they get a photo op of the century. I just love these photos of Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathbone.

Enjoy and take care of yourselves   :D   Annie.

Promotions and parties!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!

As the cast of the Twilight Saga Eclipse disperse around the globe to promote just the first sequel “New Moon”, the work of promoting Eclipse will not begin for some time to come. By all accounts New Moon will be fascinating. I hope so… I am so looking forward to seeing it. Having read the books many times for research I find still that New Moon is my favourite.                          

 As Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner arrive in Brazil to begin the rounds of promoting New Moon worldwide. Robert Pattinson headed to Tokyo, Japan to start his promotional duties. All parties seemed to be more relaxed and certainly in these two countries, are less likely to be mowed down by a frenzy of blood thirsty fans and photographers. Especially in Japan where people are incredibly polite and turning up on time is considered late. Yep! Want to be on time in Japan?…arrive fifteen minutes early. And what of Rob and Kristen’s relationship?…don’t know. Someone on Kristen’s side has reportedly denied the split, which means they accept that they are together. I don’t know what’s going on. The whole thing gives me the pips. (all pics courtesy of newmoonmovie)

I just pass on what I hear Twi fans. 

Ashley Greene and pal Kellan Lutz hosted a hallowe’en party in Tao, Las Vegas along with Sam Trammell and other cast members from True Blood. Their costumes were great but I’m not sure who Ashley was supposed to be dressed up as. Any clues Twi

 fans?.                                                                               

And for all you people out celebrating the spooky season, I sure hope you didn’t end up like this silly pumpkin. I bet he’s hiding in a haystack somewhere right now, he’s so ashamed lol! Drinking to excess is way past stupid.

Anyway guys I hope you had a fab time.

Take care

Annie.
