How big of a Twilight fan are you? Would you text the entire contents of the Twilight novels to a friend? That’s just what a hardcore fan from South Carolina named Eryn is doing. She has already sent the entire contents of Twilight–all 6000 texts worth–to a friend in Alaska. She’s currently 100 pages into New Moon. Now that is dedication. Eryn also had a bit of feedback about how the Twilight movie fared next to the book she knows so well–
“The only thing that bothered me was that if felt a bit rushed,” she said of the first movie. “Movies based on books need more time for the audience to get to know the characters. With ‘Twilight’ it was like, here’s Bella, here’s Edward, they’re in love, the bad guy dies, happy ending. I wouldn’t have minded if the movie was another 20-30 minutes to fill in a few of the gaps and missing pieces from the book.”
Check out the rest of the fan opinions of the movie over at The Wrap.

Though a certain gossip columnist with an ear for controversy is reporting that Robert Pattinson was in LA during the 100 Monkeys show earlier this week–a fact he uses to stoke the embers of the “Robert Pattinson Smells” meme, a trustworthy source reports that Robert Pattinson is in Vancouver, at least now–a reader over at TwiCrack spotted him at the new Cullen House (do wha?) last night–
We left right before the rain really got going. We did see Peter Facinelli getting out of the suv, and then spotted Rob Pattinson in the next SUV that came up there. It was kinda cool, but it was getting dark, so pictures were nearly impossible from across the street where they kept us.

Carter Burwell, the talent behind the original soundtrack for Twilight, will not be composing the score for New Moon. Instead, Alexandre Desplat, who wrote the soundtrack for New Moon director Chris Weitz’s earlier film The Golden Compass, is most likely at the helm. This news comes from the website of Carter Burwell, stating–
As I understand it, the director of New Moon, Chris Weitz, has hired Alexandre Desplat to composer the music for the film. Desplat composed the music for Weitz’ earlier film The Golden Compass. I don’t know if they’ll use any of my themes from Twilight, such as “Bella’s Lullaby”.
While out for coffee, some staffers over at the Deadbolt noticed a group of gals across the street crowding around. Curious, they walked over and saw what all the hubbub was about–and what a hubba-hubba it was–Peter Facinelli! The good doctor proved to be a class act–
Peter Facinelli remained on the sidewalk for slightly under 10 minutes, smiling and chatting away until all autographs were signed and a few photos were taken, which speaks to the patience and obvious appreciation Peter has for Twilight and New Moon fans. Thanks to Peter Facinelli for being so gracious.
