And just like that, my pockets begin to drain for New Moon.

You can now pre-order the Complete Illustrated Movie Companion for New Moon. It’s set to be available on October 6th, 2009!

Justin Long, the “Mac guy” from the Apple ads as well as actor in quite a few movies including Friday’s Drag Me to Hell, is seen holding a “I Love Rob Pattonson” (sic) sign today. Either that, or he places butterflies inside of Robert–I suppose it’s a heart.

Check out the pic at RadarOnline.

A set of red-clad extras was seen on the set of New Moon today in Italy, showing just how huge the scale of the project really is. I can guarantee you that once the digital fxs are done, this is going to look EPIC. In the 2nd video, it looks like Robert Pattinson–or his double–in the doorway.

Those of you that don’t follow @newmoonmovie may want to see the animated GIF I made of the (spoilery) Edward Cullen chest reveal!

NY Times bestselling thriller author Brad Meltzer, author of Book of Fate and newly released Book of Lies as well as guest writer of some of the best DC Comic plot arcs in recent memory, is on NPR’s All Things Considered today to admit he’s a die-hard TwiGuy, and he requests all the men out there start reading the book, as well–

I love hearing the dark secret histories of how the other vampires were turned into vampires. And I love when Edward gets all huffy with Jacob the werewolf — oh my God, I’m on the verge of writing fan-fic here — but again, in case you missed it, I love this story.

But for the most part, I’ve told almost no one.

Y’know why?

Because as a man, this book is not supposed to be for me.

[...] I blame my fellow men. That’s right. I blame all the men out there who point fingers and call things “girlie” and run like spineless cowards whenever something gets embraced by the opposite sex.

Read about the challenge he issues on the NPR website, or tune in to All Things Considered on NPR today to hear it for yourself!

[thanks, Cori!]

Is this Dakota Fanning in full Jane makeup for New Moon? It sure looks like it. Thoughts?

TwilightPoison has the Entertainment Weekly stills from New Moon–in very high resolution. Here’s a crop I made of the kiss.

Today I received some mail from an Italian fan. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Italian. From the smileys in the email, I can tell that the fan is definitely upset about something concerning Robert Pattinson. Here is my best attempt at deciphering it–

• ” Sono stata ieri tutta la giornata a Montepulciano… beh… “
• -I slept all day yesterday in ginormous Montepulciano….meh…..
• “Robert Pattinson non si è comportato al meglio con le fans che sotto il sole cocente lo hanno aspettato per ore!!!! “
• -Robert Pattinson did not combine his “meglio” with the fans that sought only to know the hardness of his ore!!!”
• “Non si è degnato neanche di voltarsi verso di loro e fare un accenno di saluto … mentre Charlie Bewley che interpreta Demetri si è avvicinato alle fans e molto gentilmente si è fatto fotografare e ha firmato autografi… “
• -Nor did he at the designated noon-time that is told in Ancient lore give us “the full salute”–but Charlie Bewley that plays Demetri rose to the occasion for every fan like a gentleman and let us photograph and autograph his firmness.

• sicuramente la cosa non turberà il sonno di nessuno, ma in molte sono rimate negativamente colpite da questo comportamento!!!!!

• -”I am secured in a house with a turban of the night, in my negative sounds I shall compartmentalize your cheese!!!!“

I am pretty sure the last part is correct–what could be a worse insult in Italy that telling someone you will organize their cheese? We have a similar phrase in America, that says “I will rearrange your hamburger!!!”

Anyone want to help? I have posted the full email after the break.
