NNT's Lessons on Little Ashes

Novel Novice Twilight is doing a series, "Lessons on Little Ashes" that is absolutely wonderful. I said earlier that the more I read about these people and their lives, the more I wanted to see this movie. They are doing a wonderful job telling not only about the people, but about the world at that time. I highly recommend checking it out. Here is a trailer for the series.


Thank you to Novel Novice for putting together this great series.

So, Where is the New Moon Teaser?

Mine has not arrived yet as I ordered the collector's set from Amazon. (Darn super saver shipping seemed like a good idea at the time.) But I was very glad to get this information from CBA via Pillow Biters and thought you might like to know this too...

"Summit Entertainment still needs to upload the trailer before anyone can download it. Twilight also comes BD-Live-enabled.. As of right now, Summit has not yet launched any features for download, nor announced any upcoming content on the BD-Live. We all have to wait till they upload it, so whenever Summit decided to release it, that's when we'll get the New Moon trailer. Honestly it could be months, before we get to see it. No one really knows when they will upload it, but they will announce it on their website."

So let's hope they pony up the goods soon!

Little Ashes Movement Day 30

Tomorrow is the day - Little Ashes will release in the US, UK and Spain. If it's playing in a theater near you, please go see it sometime this weekend. It will help out those of us who waiting to get it in our area. To find out if it will be playing in your area, just click here.

What is The Little Ashes Movement?

It's a fan movement. We provided a list of theaters(HERE) including the theaters that are already scheduled to play Little Ashes. If it's not playing at a theater near you you need to call and request Little Ashes from the theater listed. If we do not have a theater listed for you then leave us a comment with the name and number of the theater and we'll update the list the next day.
It's as simple as that. We made it happen at a lot of theaters in US. Theaters left us messages saying "okay don't call anymore we ARE scheduling the movie" :)
YOU can make it happen. If there is a number we've listed in your area call and ask them if they will be showing Little Ashes, if they say no then politely ask them to look into it since it's a great movie with Robert Pattinson and you and tons of other people would really love to see it.

So check out the list and join the movement. And while you're there, say thanks to Gozde for starting this movement and wish her a very happy birthday! (As she lives in Turkey, she gets nothing out of this at all...she still has to wait for the DVD)

Wonderful Interviews with Peter, Michael, Edi and Kellan

These interviews are great, although I'd rather have heard from Edi on a subject other than Rob. Edi is such a funny guy and we don't see nearly enough of him in interviews.





Thanks so much to TwiCrack for these great videos.

Another gorgeous Shielou creation

I just love this one! She's trying out a new 'do for Edward. Click over to her blog to see her new Harry Potter piece and vote on Edward's hair. I am always amazed by her talents.

What a lucky, lucky, lucky girl!

Wow, to be her!

EW Mother's Day Gift Guide

I was flipping through my newest Entertainment Weekly when I came across their Mother's Day Gift Guide. As you can see, they make wonderful recommendations! Of course the red emphasis was added by me...lol

200 Days...and an announcement

Just looked over at my widget and realized that today is 200 days from the opening of New Moon! How cool and exciting is that?!
Also in reference to New Moon, I have an announcement to make. From this point on, I will not be posting any set photos, videos, or other possible New Moon spoilers. If it doesn't come in the form of an official release, you won't find it here. I realize that's probably not a popular decision, but I'm afraid that I'm seeing too much. I don't want to spoil the movie for myself, so I can't possibly put things on here that I'm not looking at myself.

I've seen enough to know that Chris Weitz is doing something amazing and I can't wait for the promo shots and trailers.I want there to still be a whole lot of mystery to me when I sit down in that theater, 200 days from now.

Pillow Biters: When Good Twilighters Go BAD

In checking blogs this morning I came across a dark and grainy picture of Rob and Kristen, obviously taken without their knowledge. No, they weren't doing anything scandalous, but that's not really the point. I have to say it bothered me, but when I found a post at Pillow Biters about the same picture, I was sick to my stomach. Not only was it taken without their knowledge, it was taken against Rob's wishes, after he'd already said no to a picture more than once.

Here's what we have to ask ourselves people...which is more important? Chasing and stalking Rob, taking pictures with/of him or him being happy enough to continue acting. Rob strikes me as the kind of guy who would be just fine going back to writing music on the roofs of London. He's in this for the art, not the fame. I think the fame is the downside to him. Please, give him some space and let him be.

So just in case you're confused, here is a picture of Rob when he KNOWS he's being photographed and is as willing as he's ever going to be.
His birthday is just over a week away. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could be given the gift of space and some peace? What better way to show him how much we love him.

Life after Twilight?

Does it change you? Does it alter your world? Is there life after Twilight?

Twilight Lexicon featured an article from The Deadbolt.com entitled "Will there be life after the Twilight Saga?" I have to say, this is the kind of thing I absolutely eat up. When I finally get around to writing the original articles, this is the type of thing I want to put out there. Something deeper than just a review of the books or movies. Something that examines the characters or the themes, something to make you think. And I'll get right on it after that mysteriously still missing forum gets up and running.

At any rate, this is a very interesting article and I highly recommend reading it. A phenomenon as big as Twilight is bound to have an influence on those who grow up with it as part of their lives. Thanks to the Lexicon for featuring this great article. I'd be interested to hear your opinions. Do you agree with Larsen Hill?

Little Ashes Info

Radar Online recently attended an advanced screening of Little Ashes. You can read their review and see a trailer and photos here. Thanks to Lindsay for the heads up.

ROBsessed has started the Little Ashes movement to get this film into as many theaters as possible in places where the Rob fans are wanting to see it. You can check out their list of theaters here and find out more details on how this all works. A lot of theaters are waiting to see how the film does when it opens and one of Cinemark's film buyers told me that Regent isn't even offering it in some smaller markets right now. If it opens well in NY and LA, that may change. So if it's not showing in your area, join the movement by listing your theater and making calls. If it is showing in your area, go see it opening weekend to help those of us who don't have it in our area.

I have done some research on Salvador Dali and he was just an incredibly fascinating person. The more I learn about him and his life, and the more I see trailers, the more I want to see this movie. I've read so many positive reviews and I can't wait to Rob step up to this chance to really challenge himself and perform well out of his comfort zone.

Little Ashes opens in limited release on May 8. Click here to see if it is scheduled for a theater near you.

Update: I have spoken with Goz who informed me that Cinemark's not being upfront here. Regent is trying to get this film in as many theaters as possible. I am currently awaiting a response from Regent. I'll let you know what I hear. Also, please keep Goz in your prayers. She's having a family emergency right now.

And here we have a myriad of New Mooners in the under 21 crowd...
Dakota Fanning, Taylor Lautner and Christian Serratos. I love that the credit listed for all of them is New Moon.
And although it's not truly Twilight related, I have to mention the gorgeous Miss Emma Watson, Rob's fellow HP alumni.
