Chris Weitz: Round Two.. More Talk of 'New Moon' & Rob!

So we thought after Thursday's twitter session of rapid question and answers, Chris Weitz was done talking to fans for a while. But we were wrong. Friday he took to twitter again, and sure enough.. Rob was among the topics of conversation.













Wha??.. this is what came to mind..



Which as it turns out, does officially make it a somersault:

: a movement (as in gymnastics) in which a person turns forward or backward in a complete revolution along the ground or in the air bringing the feet over the head; also : a falling or tumbling head over heels



We can't quite picture Rob doing it, but we ARE happy with the end result of his New Moon training ;)




Chris had a lot more to share with fans, so we put his latest tweets on the slideshow below. Enjoy!

The 'Twilight' Fandom: It's All Relative

It's a good thing that twitter posts are now being archived in the Library of Congress, because a decade from now, heck a few years from now, Twilight will likely be nothing more than a fad. And even if twitter continues to thrive, Twilight will most certainly not be on the list of its trending topics forever.

Why am I bringing this up? Because as you know words do carry power on twitter. After Oprah aired Thursday, it bothered me to see people criticizing the Twi-Moms that obviously put a lot of time into this current "phenomenon", as Oprah called it:



Let me make it clear, I am not a Twi-Mom. And while I wouldn't call my strawberries Edward and Jacob, or walk a fake red carpet (never say never).. what is the difference between that, and camping for days to see the stars walk the carpet themselves at the premiere?


Is it any different than fans that tattoo Edward's words to Bella on their back?



Or how about the hundreds of hours bloggers log (ehem).. posting Twilight related stories with no expectations, other than to spread the love for the series?

It's all about respect. And a bit of perspective.

Only a few more years left in this crazy Twilight world, so I say if you want to call your strawberries Jacob and Edward go fo it! and enjoy the ride while it lasts!

Or.. you could always join another fandom and their vices. yeap. It's a water suit.
