Lots Of Tears

There's only a little bit of Twilight news to share today, but here it is.

A very cool blog, twicrackaddict.blogspot.com has shared with us that there are new New Moon images and posters out. They are only of Bella and Edward so far, but they are of very good quality. Since many of you know that I don't care for Kristen very much I will show you the new Edward poster and if you want to check out Bella's images I will provide the link.

Another bit of news that I am not so sure about comes from newmoonmovie.org. There is a new line of cosmetics called Twilight Beauty coming out on August 17. There are two individual lines one inspired by The Volturi and the other is inspired by the Cullen/Hale/Swan women called Luna. The website looks very cool and the colors and products look very cool, but this might be taking things a little far. I'm not sure it is such a good idea to over saturate the market. I mean they just came out with with party supplies and greeting cards, which I personally would love, but this might be a bit much. Plus it is bitter sweet that they are using Rachelle LeFevre's image, but she won't get to finish out the series. Check it out and let me know what you think.

*Breaking Dawn spoiler warning*

It is also being reported by acting411.blogspot.com that Summit has officially acquired the rights from Stephenie Meyer to make Breaking Dawn. It is being said that they are planning to separate the story into three parts for filming, so it will be a Breaking Dawn Trilogy. This has not been confirmed by Summit, but Stephenie Meyer has stated in the past that she believes it would have to be broken up into multiple films because there is no way that much information could fit into 90 minutes. It has also been said that they do not want the films to be rated R. This is going to be tough, too because of the sex and birth scene. The first of the films regardless is said to start filming in the early part of 2010. Personally, I wouldn't want to wait for three movies. I'd prefer two. My friend Elizabeth and I discussed this and believe the first one should lead up to the birth and Jacob imprinting on Renesmee and be sort of a cliffhanger. The second could deal with Bella becoming a vampire and the Volturi's visit. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Anyone else have a different idea?

I have my baby back and the weekend went by so fast. I really took some time for myself this weekend and I feel well rested and sociable.

Last night I went with Evan to see Rabbit Hole at The Clarence Brown LAB Theatre and it is one of the most touching plays I have EVER seen. It's about the struggles that take place between a husband and wife when their son dies after he is hit by a car. If you are into theatre at all and have not read the play, I highly recommend it. Zane did a recording for the show, so he was the voice of the little boy who is killed. That made it a little tough for me. I cried quite a bit. There was a lot of sniffling going on in the audience. With the combination of the brilliant acting and the thought of losing my own child, there was one point where I wanted to blubber audibly, but I held it in. After the show I went with my cousin, Evan and some of the cast to Sunspot and had a nice time laughing and talking after shedding so many tears. Isn't Evan handsome?

Tomorrow will probably mean more tears for me though. Zane has his first day of kindergarten tomorrow. It is so hard to believe that my baby is going to be in school! His dad and I are planning to go together to take him and I have a feeling both of us will be weepy. I have every hope that the teachers and other kids will be nice and that Zane will love school. Kindergarten sets the precedent for the rest of his schooling, so I want it to start out well. Another thing that I think will be tough is the fact that his school starts at 7:45am! He is going to have a tough time going to bed early and an even tougher time getting up that early. I know we can do it and Zane is so excited.

Time Really Does Fly!

I had to add this! On my favorite blog of all time, pinkisthenewblog.com it has been shown that the images of The Volturi from New Moon have been leaked! This is SO FREAKING EXCITING! I can not get over how amazingly perfect they all look and it makes me even more excited (if that's even possible) for the movie's release in November. CHECK THEM OUT!




I digress...OK, so I thought that if I had been to Comic-Con and seen Rob Pattinson and Johnny Depp in the same day or weekend, I would have fainted or had a conniption. I spoke too soon. Apparently Robert Downey Jr. was also at Comic-Con. If I had seen those three men in such a close span of time...someone would have had to call 9-1-1 for sure! I would have melted into the carpet. RDJ was there for Sherlock Holmes as well as Iron Man 2. In all of the photos from the Iron Man 2 panel he was in full blown Tony Stark mode. He looked AMAZING!

At hitfix.com (a website I have just recently come to love!) Gregory Ellwood got the whole story from the Iron Man 2 panel.

At the Sherlock Holmes panel he was greeted with almost more screams than Johnny Depp or Rob Pattinson, which I find hard to believe, but it was probably pretty close. He told the crowd how much he loved them. I'm pretty sure his fans love him more. I have love Robert Downey Jr. for so long. I remember thinking he was beautiful and talented in Weird Science and Less than Zero, but my favorite of his movies has to be Chaplin. He was so brilliant in that. I really love Tropic Thunder, too. He was hilarious in it. I am so glad he got clean and is back in the limelight again. Here is an article from L.A. Times on Sherlock Holmes. I can't wait to see that movie! RDJ + Jude Law = AWESOME!

I saw another interesting bit of info from a cast member of True Blood. Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte) really loved Kristen Stewart in Adventureland, but has not seen Twilight. He also stated that he really likes her and wants her to join him on True Blood. My opinion is PLEASE?! Can she please leave the Twilight franchise? I can't stand her and wouldn't mind a new, more appreciative, Bella. Who's with me? Here is Marc Malkin's article on the subject from E! News.

Another bit of Twilight news that I thought I'd share is a video that was shot by David Slade. Slade is a somewhat unknown director who will be directing the next film in the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. He did a video with the band The Killers in conjunction with MTV and UNICEF to raise awareness of human trafficking. It is a very moving song and an even more touching bit of film work. It makes me feel a little bit better about his capabilities and what he might achieve with Eclipse. The song is now one of my favorite songs of all time and is titled Goodnight: Travel Well.

I am still in the sad-birthday-state-of-mind. I got to work today, thinking that they would have pizza and cake like they usually do and there was nothing. Every time someone has a birthday, the Box Office does something like that, but there was nothing. So all I have to eat for lunch is pretzels. The good times just keep coming. Sarah came through for me though. She gave me a cute card with a Boston Terrier on the front that looks a lot like Lily and a gift card to Bath & Body Works. I think maybe I have been a bad friend and daughter and this is my punishment. I am coming to grips with it. I know that I could be more thoughtful myself and sometimes just a card is all someone might need to help them feel loved on their birthday. I am going to try to be a better friend.



Well, I registered Zane for Kindergarten this morning. He was so excited and the school is really nice. There are all sorts of murals painted on the walls and the teachers seemed nice. He will be going on a staggered schedule at first and then goes every day starting in the middle of August. His first day of school is next Monday and I am sure I'll cry. When your child is a baby and people tell you to enjoy it, because time flies, it is so true! It seems like only yesterday he was toddling around, eating his baby oatmeal and actually taking naps every day.





Tomorrow is a very dreaded day for me. I took Zane to the dentist last Tuesday for his Kindergarten check-up and cleaning and he had three cavities that will have to be filled tomorrow and he will have to have a silver crown, because two of his teeth are rubbing together. I know that these days, dentists are able to do things without very much pain involved and I whole-heartedly hope that's true. He has only been to the dentist for a cleaning and I don't want him to be scared every time we have to go from now on. Keep Zane and me in your thoughts and prayers that all goes smoothly.


I also want to say thank you to Bobby Williams. Bobby, if you read this I adore you and truly appreciate your encouragement and sweet words. It really means a lot to me. I love ya, Bob the Slob!
