http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5zyPFr-CQYThis first video of yesterday's Comic Con panel almost made me not move onto the other four posted by HallHcoverage. The reason I chose this one was it seemed to have a stable camera mounted to a stable tripod and not some shaky handed screamer somewhere near the back of the room using their cell phone camera. It's all about quality. No one wants to watch five people looking like bobble head dolls for 30 or 40 minutes.
So, the introductions start. One female, and I haven't a clue how old she was, standing near the camera operator started screaming with the first introduction. Not a squeal, a bloody scream every time someone was introduced. Rob is the last and well she'd been building up to the last intro for a couple of minutes so you can imagine. The video speaks for itself. Then came the OMG's from the screamer. OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG......Oh shut up please! At this point, I'm thinking this is going to be awful. However, several people around the screamer were speaking and I can't be sure they were speaking directly to her, but eventually she shut up. I don't know. Maybe the companion she had come with had bounced on her toes and told her to act her age instead of her IQ.
I look at the five of them sitting behind the table and the one thing that sticks out is Rob appears 2 inches shorter than Taylor sitting on his left. I'm wondering if someone sawed off the legs to his chair to give this illusion. In fact he looks shorter than Kristen as well. Ashley appears to be the tallest of the four actors. Go figure. Chris Weitz, however, looked as if he were perched on some sort of throne.
Then the questions start. Someone wants to know if Rob would seek future roles to expand his comic side. He said that he didn't really know if he was particularly funny. That he has one leg shorter than the other and that's why his gait is funny. Maybe that's why I think his ass looks like a girls when he walks away from the camera. Hell, maybe that's why women who have swingy asses, have swingy asses.
Somebody gets up to ask a question and then next thing we here is her breaking out in a little song. She wasn't bad either. Can't remember the question now. Then the idiot from yesterdays early press conference is back with fake teeth in his mouth telling all there that he is mistaken for Rob a lot. Next question please.
They were then asked about the most memorable part of this shoot. Taylor hated the 12 hour shoot in the rain with no clothes on. Okay, who would love it? Then they all commented on the difference in working with Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weitz. The consensus boils down to she is manic and he is calm. Of course they used way more words and time to say this.
They all had some good answer to the question what they are looking forward to in the next two movies and none of them repeated themselves, but Kristen's "actually being pregnant" and Rob's "filming the Cesarean section" were really pretty funny.
Now onto those posted today sneak peek videos that hit you tube and what it means to the poor fans who paid their way in, fought for a place and had their reward spoiled by the fan who, against the rules, video taped it anyway and posted it to you tube. TS, TS, TS. Summitt can have it pulled if they want, but someone tell me, why they would want to? It is the best advertisement for right now. Not every human being can spend hundreds, nay perhaps thousands on planes hotels and the whole Comic Con experience. There is some sort of convention in Dallas next month and I looked at the prices. I live here and would have loved to have taken my granddaughter, but not at those prices. Who the hell is getting rich off this stuff anyway? They were told, according to an SM recommended website, that if filming were done there would be no clips next year. Uh, by this time next year isn't Eclipse suppose to be out? Big woo. If you don't want it filmed and put up on you tube, don't show it in the first place. And don't post the you tube videos on your website and then take the high road of righteousness concerning breaking of the rules. Morons. One, they weren't that good, but two they were oh, so welcomed. I was getting tired of replaying that little teaser that's been around for two months.
My little group of older fans are headed to New York in the fall for the premiere there. They are making a vacation out of it. They hope to see Rob and Kristen and Taylor and may have to stand in a windy November street to do it, but they are going to have real fun. No camping out in the cold. They actually will have hotel rooms that they will use because their joints can't take all that other crap. And they are going to tour the city. A real vacation and a movie. Now that's the way to do it. To my ladies, I salute you and know that you will have the times of your lives. And not one of them will take a video camera into the theater, tape the whole movie and load it to you tube. If they are going to be arrested for piracy, they could definetly find something else to pirate. And they know what I mean.
