The University of Washington Alumni Magazine has an interesting interview with the principal of Forks High, the school from the Twilight Saga books. He talks about all the curious fans that visit nowadays–

We’ll walk out onto the street and see them standing in front of our building, taking pictures by the sign. And you can pretty much count on a large number of fans coming during breaks. Spring break was huge last year. And because it’s staggered when different schools around the country take their breaks, we had it for about two months solid-just an astronomical number of people coming by, taking pictures and walking through the school. During the summer, there are people every single day. School’s not in session, obviously, but there’s still some staff around, and they come up and knock on the door, and we let them in and say hi and show them around. Last year, the city dedicated Sept. 13 as Stephenie Meyer Day, and we opened up the school for Twilight tours. And we had hundreds of people coming to the building that day.

Amanda Bell at the Examiner wonders if the stories of Twilight being nearly 100% tween-based are true. She asks–

Critics of the Twilight Series suggest (sometimes often) that there is only one type of fan of the series: that which consists of young, teenage girls. However, the demography of a Twilight fan might be slightly more complex and vast than critics of the series and its popularity would like to admit.

Reelzchannel has posted an article that asks a few fansites what we want to see in the Twilight DVD extras– here are our choices:

• I’d love to see bloopers of any sort — the more embarrassing, the better!
• Deleted kissing scenes a-plenty!
• Listening to the audio commentary from RPatz, KStew, and Catherine Hardwicke will be a real treat.
• The Robert Pattinson piano montage sounds very intriguing.
• Supposedly there will be a New Moon teaser on the Blu-Ray edition — that will be very exciting for NewMoonMovie.org to cover!

Check out all the picks from the rest of the fansites over at Reelzchannel! Which extras are you most looking forward to? Also, check out the thumbnail from our very first design incarnation–before we moved from two columns to three!

Do you think the Twilight deleted scenes we’ve seen so far have been cut for a good reason? EW Popwatch thinks so–

If you’ve seen the sneak peek of three deleted Twilight scenes from the March 21 DVD release, do you think director Catherine Hardwicke was right to trim them from the final film? I’d have to say yes, yes, and yes. While in theory, a second bedroom kiss sounds like a good idea, this one would’ve taken away from the intensity of the, um, more stirring session in the movie.
