So before ADF, I was just a little lurker on FF. I had no idea what Twilighted was, or  even how to use it (still don't). I didn't know what the Gazebo was (love it now), and I had no one to share my Twilight obsession with. Last night I made it to the 12:15 showing of NM (no I will not be giving any spoilers) and through the entire movie I was reminded of all the AMAZING women I have met through ADF.

When Embry came on the screen I immediately thought of PixieVamp. When Charlie came on (who was amazing by the way) my thoughts went straight to Tor. For Mike I thought of Jennday, and with Jackson I thought of my tweeter bud PoppingPenguin, because while I get Rob, Jackson belongs to her. 

Jacob reminded me of, *gasp* Gallantcorks, cause she just had to go and switch over to the dark side (as long as she doesn't write it, I'll be ok ;) 

When the Remember Me trailer came on, I immediately thought, 'yeah, I've already seen it', but it was still amazing on the big screen. 

And when Rob came on, I thought of all the girls here who I have gotten to know and love. Infernalheart, Grownasswoman, Tkmoon, and Wonkeygirl to just name a few.  

So in this campfire I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of our AMAZING RANGERS for creating and putting so much effort into giving us this fabulous forest!

 

 

 

RANGERS ETA: Wow-Thank you all so much! ADF is nothing without our campers and each and every one of you ROCK!! xoxoxo

 THE STARS WERE OUT IN FULL FORCE LAST NIGHT. THEY JUST WEREN'T IN NASHVILLE, SO WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT. INSTEAD, NASHVILLE CAME TO THEM IN THE FORM OF KINGS OF LEON. MORE ON THAT LATER.

I'm so angry right now I could scream. Comic Con 4 day passes for this coming year have somehow already went on sale and sold out. The only hope for getting a ticket it the 1 day passes that will start going on sale on Dec 15th. I know some people said they bought their tickets on ebay and stuff last year but on the comic con website it specifically says that they do not honor tickets that have been transferred to someone else. Is there no hope of getting a 4 day pass?! I'm so annoyed that they started selling so early. Last year I am told they did not go on sale until after the new year. I heard nothing of the tickets going on sale this early. Has anyone else? 

Honestly, as much as I love twilight, I feel this is all their fault. Comic con has completely blown up since they started going to it and it kind of sucks for the people that want to see other stuff. My boyfriend is so angry and disappointed that we will not be able to attend for another year. I'm going to see if I can just buy 8 1 day passes, but that is going to get really expensive. It will almost be worth it for him to be happy though. We have never been able to attend.

What a bittersweet day this is, I'm leaving to go see New Moon right now, but my day is ruined because of this comic con news.

 

While most of the New Moon cast was at the official afterparty following last night's screening in New York, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart slipped away for some private quality time.

Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli all hit up the postscreening bash held at the Box. Ed Westwick also made a late appearance, with girlfriend Jessica Szohr arriving even later.

But Rob and Kristen were over at Avenue, holding court at a table upstairs with a bodyguard making sure people gave them their privacy—but no such luck.

Rob, trying to go incognito, wore a baseball cap, while Kristen was smoking a cigarette (which is illegal). Unlike the movie, there was no Taylor Lautner around, and Kristen seemed to only have eyes for Rob...

The costars were sitting right next to each other and kept whispering in each other's ears and laughing together. At one point, Kristen started stroking Rob's back.

And the two were still going strong at the club till 3 a.m.

In case there's anyone out there who still has doubts, looks like Robsten is totally on!

 

I saw New Moon last night, I have a lot to say.  I need my Twife to see it ASAP so we can talk about it.  I need my RL twife to see it too (she didnt have babysitter last night) so we can talk about it.  I have a few things to get off my chest.

I used to write movie reviews semi-professionally (also music, book, and product reviews), so it's really difficult for me to now watch a film without a critic's eye.  There are certain things I look for when watching a film, so how I rate a movie is based a specific criteria.  The most important, being: Is it entertaining?

In this respect, New Moon is PURE WIN.  I plan to see it again in theater as many times as I can stand it.  I will buy the DVD and probably will sit outside of Hot Topic for 2 hours again, like we did for the Twilight dvd release.  This movie does not disappoint... much.

 

Let me elaborate...

My internal 15 yr old fangirl FREAKING LOVED IT!!!

My external 37 year old arm-chair critic liked it, but.... yeah I liked it.

What I have to say contains spoilers, so I'll finish in the comments below......

 

 Last month, it was Nicole Kidman, who put that rumor to rest regarding her involvement in a film starring Robert Pattinson based on the French novel by Guy de Maupassant.

Now the Hollywood Reporter is claiming two of the female roles have been filled by some pretty big names. 

UMA THURMAN AND KRISTEN SCOTT THOMAS.

From an article on HitFix.com:

 

On a day that the new trailer for Robert Pattinson's first post-"Twilight" film, "Remember Me," hit the web, the "New Moon" star has finally found his leading lady for his next film.  And no, it's not the much-rumored Nicole Kidman.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Uma Thurman will star opposite Pattinson in "Bel Ami."  Based on the famous Guy de Maupassant short story, "Ami" follows young journalist George Duroy (Pattinson) who deviously jumped from the bed of one of Paris' most influential women to another to make his way to the top.  Thurman will play the wife of a friend of Duroy's who assists him in is ascent and later becomes his wife.

Also joining the cast is Kristin Scott Thomas.  The Oscar-nominee will play a socialite who falls for Duroy, but just can't let go when he's ready to move on.

Thurman will appear next as Medusa in 20th Century Fox's "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief." 

Pattinson stars in this weekend's expected blockbuster, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and in next summer's "Remember Me."

"Bel Ami" is expected to begin shooting in Paris next year.

WHO DID YOU WANT SEE TAKE ON THE ROLE OF GEORGE DUROY'S LEADING LADY IN THE FILM?

First of all, I haven't seen New Moon yet.  But last night, I was getting my tickets ready (I printed them off) and what happened?

I GOT A PAPERCUT FROM THE NEW MOON TICKET.

A PAPERCUT.

COINCIDENCE?

 

I THINK NOT.

now where the hell is my jasper

PART 1

 

PART 2

 

PART 3

You all are so lucky to be able to watch New Moon with sympathetic Twilighters/Twi-Hards or whatever they are named, who fangirl over the same characters, actors and storyline as you do.  And you don't even know it.

I live in Istanbul (Turkey), where a small number of people are aware of the Twilight phenomena and the few who are have either read ridiculous translations or they don’t know anything about fan fiction or the awesome communities of the online world.  Another reason why I don’t know many other fans may be because I am such a closet fan.  As it is I only have my online communities to share my excitement with. (if you are living in Istanbul, let me know)

Here is my New Moon experience:

- There was no midnight screening anywhere in the country.  Trust me, I would have taken a plane there to see it, if there were any.

- This morning, there were only 5 more people in the theatre other than me.  They were all girls, who shared the same high school uniform and gave me the stink eye just because I am a few years older than them…

- The subtitles sucked.  I even noticed some letters missing.  What gives film distributors?!

- On the plus side, since there were so few of us, the projectionist didn’t feel the need to give a break and make us suffer through the commercials.

- When the movie ended, they all started talking about how hot Taylor Lautner was and that was when I decided to take my queue to leave.

- My thoughts on the movie are posted on the comments section.  They are long and boring...

I went to the New Moon Midnight release. It was crazy, got there two hours early. There was already a line for preordered tickets. I Had gone to the one at the Mall of Georgia. When I went out 30 minutes later to get snacks, it was packed. I mean PACKED BACK TO BACK. People were there all night, seeing 2:30am movies and 4:00am movies. It was unreal. The movie, OMFG Robert Pattinson is a GOD. GOD PEOPLE. Jacob was.... uh. Charlie, and the cullens had some good lines too. If you haven't seen it, you must!

P.S- It ends in a dang Cliff Hanger. :(

New Moon...

Wow..

r-pattz.. oh amazing.... gasp...can't breathe

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!

thoughts?

I'm popping my posting cherry with something totally and completely off-topic.

I have a semi-starving artist friend who wants to make young lovers' dreams come true and yours too. He (yes, he, as in male and OMG he's straight and sane and please don't scare him away because I like him!) has been using his exceptional skills as an artist in the Harry Potter fandom to raise the funds to fly a young man half-way around the world to meet up with his lady love. He recently realized that he has been sadly excluding the lovely ladies of the Twilight fandom from seeing the men (and women!) they lust love in Made For You Specifically original commissions.

But you need examples of his work, right?

Post New Moon release, why don't we start with Jacob.

Now we can't leave Edward out, even with all the New Moon craze, right? Version 1.0

Version 2.0 Sparkly Sparkles!

That's right ladies, you can get .gifs of (just about) whatever your heart so desires.

Banners, portraits, desktop backgrounds, posters, icons, gifs, photo-realistic, comic book style, line art, whatever your pretty, lovely heart desires is yours for the taking. Because he is trying to make dreams come true (I'm not lying about flying a man half-way around the world. New Zealand and Washington DC are on opposite sides of the globe.) he is asking for some cash, but here's the thing to realize - NO ONE WILL HAVE SEEN THIS VERSION OF EDWARD, JACOB AND CO. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL WORK AND YOU WOULD BE THE SOLE OWNER.

How cool is that?

To see other examples of my friend's work, check out his DeviantArt page, or his LJ art page. You can email me at faeriegal713@ymail.com or PM here or leave a comment or whatever if you want details.

To make this interactive, post pics of the craziest fandom things you've seen online or purchased or what fics you want to see drawn or painted or whatever.

I am sitting in the theater and loving you guys right now! I hope everyone has a great time tonight! Love yall! Remember we are the hottest twilight website out there!

My alter ego, Kristen, was just spotted going into the Soho House with Edward's alter ego Robert. For those of u who don't know, The Soho House is in the meatpacking district of NYC. Here is a picture of it's rooftop pool-some of u will recognize it from Sex in the City. Robsten are not at the pool. They are enjoying themselves in the bar right now. 

 

 

 

Update: Now (2:30ish) they're upstairs at Avenue (in Chelsea)... Perhaps Robert's indulging in the Kobe beef sliders.

And at 3:20, if you are still keeping track: they've left the restaurant.

 ps: before going out with kristen, someone ditched the screening and got a little blotto with his pals

Do me a favour American peeps and try and remember which songs from the soundtrack go with which scene. I've kind of forgotton already and it's bugging the bejebus out of me.

Songs inside that I remember

HELP ME REMEMBER. Take a notepad and pen, I will love you forever.

 

 

I was checking my email and got a request from someone to follow me on twatter. I clicked on the person's username and looked at her twatter.

She was talking about a book she was writing about Rpattz and said she had a website.

I clicked on the website and immediately got very........confused.

The source of all the confusion

Look at the website and tell me what you think about all this. Do you think she's lying? That she just wants attention? Will you buy her book?

I won't.
