I'm going to see Eclipse with my husband this weekend and I'm kinda nervous. No, Taylor's abs and Rob's sexy stare do not make my heart pound and go all mushy. What scares me are the crazed fans. I think they're called Twihards. I saw some of these crazies on Oprah yesterday and, um, it's quite freaky. And I don't even think Oprah showed the really sketchy ones.
The wackiest bunch were the TwiMoms who had life-sized cutouts of Edward so they could take pictures with him and were having a Twilight party in the basement. Yoohoo! Ladies! Your kids think you like fictitious characters more than them. Hmmm, they won't need therapy when they grow up or anything.
Back to me and my Twihard fears. Like, are we gonna have to show up to the theater 3 hours early just to get good seats? Will we be beaten to death for not declaring Team Jacob or Team Edward on our clothing? Will I be able to enjoy my popcorn without shrieks and giggles from teenage girls and menopausal ladies? These are valid fears, peeps! There's no turning back now as tickets have already been purchased. Wish me luck!

New Moon: More Like Full Moon as Crazy as Peeps Are Acting
I watched the MTV Movie Awards last week and it was all about Twilight. Peeps are b-a-n-a-n-a-s (thank you Gwen Stefani) for Twilight. I haven't seen people this gaga for fangs and blood since Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were in Interview with a Vampire.
I saw Twilight (not in the theater) and I didn't see what was the big deal. I thought it was OK but not lose my mind good. This trailer for New Moon has me thinking that the second movie might be better than the first.
I've also recently read the first chapters of the Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse on Stephanie Meyer's website. I won't say I'm hooked but certainly interested. I'm putting the series on my reading list anyway.
Has anyone else noticed that US Americans are fools for some vampires lately? True Blood anyone? Or maybe The Vampire Diaries debuting on the C-Dub (CW) this fall? Vampires are so alluring and peeps are "thirsty" for more. Here's hoping we'll be able to sink our teeth into New Moon, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. Those are just terrible jokes.
The Hobbit Split In Two
It's official, The Hobbit will be split into two films. In the interview clip above, director Guillermo del Toro discusses the split with MTV. He doesn't say exactly where the divide will come but I have to believe it will be just after Bilbo gets the ring from Gollum. (Sorry if that's a spoiler alert)
I'm super excited about this film(s)! My mom read The Hobbit to me when I was in 5th grade and I've been a fan ever since. The book definitely deserves the expansion of two movies and I think del Toro will do a fantastic job directing. He's responsible for Pan's Labyrinth (another film I adore) and the Hellboy movies. If you've seen either of these movies, you know that they were visually stunning with an other-worldly quality. I expect no less for The Hobbit as it is what I consider Tolkien's masterpiece and one of my first literary loves.
