As you all know by now, Mama Soul joined us on wednesday when Zelda and I went to the New Moon premiere. I promised a whole post about all the awesome stuff she said, so here we go!
A few days previous to the big event she watched a special about the Twilight-fans in between her nightly work (No, she’s not a prostitute, she’s a nurse). That was when she saw for the first time that there were Teams -Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team Switzerland- and that many people were wearing their Team-shirts to the screenings.

Mama Soul's dream-shirt

So that was probably when she decided she wanted to have a Team-shirt as well. But she kind of didn’t really get why there were different Teams or what they stood for. She just picked her favorite Twilight movie character and decided she wanted to be on his Team. In the end she did not wear a special shirt to the premiere, but guess whose Team she chose? Mama Soul, one and only official member of Team Charlie! Yep, that’s right! Why not, Charlie’s great, isn’t he? Okay, now follow the comments she made while watching the movie for the first time.

The cliff diving scene. Bella sees Victoria, tries to swim away from her, hits her head and gets unconscious.
Mama Soul: “Uh, that was so obvious, she’s just so clumsy.”

Alice racing through Volterra aka Montepulciano. Mama Soul’s a huge Italy fan and has been there so often I lost count three years ago.
So when you see the city from above she smiles happily and says: “Hey, there in that corner is that cute little store where we once bought that great cheese!”
Uhm, yes mum, that was totally what I was thinking about too…

Edward taking off his shirt and walking out of the shadow.
Mama Soul raises her eyebrows saying: “Well, we’ve already seen that one better. I thought he was supposed to have abs…”

The scene where you see Bella and Edward running through the woods together in their Anne of the green Gables outfits.
Mama Soul: “Oh, this looks like that Brothers Grimm story, Hansel and Gretel getting lost in the woods!”

On the way home in the car: “It was kind of obvious that that Indian guy would transform into a wolf. I already knew this would happen after I saw the first movie.”
Honestly? How did she come to that conclusion after seeing Cathy Hardi’s film only once, not reading any of the books and not even having seen any trailer in order to not spoil her the surprise? And then she starts the following conversation:

Mama Soul: “But Jacob looks awesome, not the face so much, but his body, man he is buff!”
We: “Yes, and he’s only seventeen!”
Me muttering under my breath: “But legal in Georgia.”
Mama Soul: “Yeah, in the movie… but he’s older in real life!”
Zelda and me together: “No, in real life! He only turns eight-teen in february.”
Muttering under our breath: “Wow, embarrassing that we know that… not that we’re counting or something…”

Yummy! The fantabulous after-movie-meal we enjoyed in Mama Soul's kitchen... featuring our Twilight tribute accessories

She laughed throughout the cinema scene with Mike and Jake sitting awkwardly in their seats watching that super-stupid action movie. She laughed about each single dog-joke because hey, Mama Soul just loves dogs. Guess she would love to have Jacob as her son-in-law… just saying. Okay, and to be honest, she made the “OMG it’s so cheesy I think I must throw up” gesture. But only four times. That’s not often considering that the movie was kind of cheesy in some parts.

Wanna know what Mama Soul predicted as the ending of the Twilight saga? I’ll tell you in a few days. It’s probably the funniest thing anyone ever said to me about the whole Twilight business, so don’t miss it! Zelda laughed her ass off  when I told her and I want to do this great quote justice. Therefor I will feature this one in a special post. Sorry! But hey, it’s worth the wait, promise!

So I have been posting way too much in Tumblr and way too little here.  I actually considered just using Tumblr and would like others to run this WordPress blog (then I realized, hey, what the heck is wrong with me?).  Anyway, I’m rambling because I reblogged this image in my main Tumblr blog:

Apparently, this photo was taken by a good friend of mine from many years ago: Devin.   He was the very first “chaser” who was exactly like me: we were “ursophiles/arctophiles” (i.e., “twinks”) who the big bears did not like or get attracted to.  We were pretty tight and talked about what we wanted to do with our “bear” lives.  Back then, our “bear sources” were limited by our dial-up connections (I used AOL and Earthlink) and access to the email-digest Bears Mailing List (which was not very twink-friendly as I remembered).  Devin also started “Bear Of The Day” (BofTD) (which was like Tumblr only it refreshes 1 image a day); this was also my source of inspiration that made me start “BearMythology”…

Needless to say, if you look through Devin’s The Men Of Chumley’s Bear Cruise 2009 Flickr photos, you’ll find out that he’s enjoying his life with the bears (and he’s even partnered with a very woofy bear!).  So I just want to personally say “Thank You” to him on this day.  And also a big “Thank You” to all of you who support this blog.  I could never keep on going with it without you guys…

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Zelda and I made it! We finally saw New Moon! Yesterday we went to the premiere here with a couple of friends and Mama Soul. We saw some people wearing Twilight-shirts, a couple of Twimoms and even a Twidad. I didn’t even know they exist until yesterday… And a lot of girls wearing plaid. Coincidence? A subtle tribute to Rob? Who knows? (I do!) Our premiere outfit? A blue blouse just like book-Bella, Ray Bans like Edward and the original Bella-bracelet from Italy (Great story concerning that one, I’ll tell you soon in another post!). So today we’re gonna present you our New Moon review part 1. Part 2 will follow soon… and include a lot more details cause we’re gonna see the movie about 23 more times before writing that. Just in case you haven’t seen the film yet (You better got a good excuse for that!) and want to have the real surprise when watching it for the first time: SPOILER ALARM! Starting now and ending at the end of this post. So here we go:

Taylor Lautner sometimes wears a shirt in New Moon...

First of all, down with Cathy the Cougar! Chris Weitz, do you want to marry me? What an enormous improvement in comparison to Twilight! I’m not going as far as to say it was the perfect movie, but honestly Chris, you’re so down with the kids! Or rather the Twilight-fans. Or Zelda and me. This is how vampires should look when they sparkle! Like diamonds and not that ringing and tinkling in the woods crap. Two minutes into the movie and I already love Charlie so much. How sweet when he almost started to sing, or when he came to look after Bella when she was screaming in her bed. We even got the names of the months after Edward left. Something I had really been hoping for!

... but most of the time doesn't, because he shouldn't!

And the e-mails for Alice idea to show how Bella feels, what an incredibly clever move of you, Chris! And I loved that Harry Clearwater, the king of homemade fish-fry, died as a hero trying to protect Charlie from Victoria. And oh how Rachelle looked awesome with her flaming red hair. Zelda totally liked the cliff diving scene. When Bella first sees Victoria under water and then there’s Edward beside her… epic! And the funny stuff, like the cinema scene or the “You like older women, huh?”. Not exactly as funny as the spider-monkey line but still… And Jasper and Emmett were so much… uhm, cooler, cuter? Whatever, better anyway!

Ok, there were a few things that were kind of strange and I think we got to mention them as well in order to try and stay honest. Sometimes it was a bit too cheesy. Cheesier than the books. I even felt kind of 2nd-hand-embarrassed for Edward being so hardcore romantic. I noticed that Edward’s abs seem to have looked a lot better on the pics from the set we saw a few months ago. In the actual Volterra scene, they were barely visible. So what happened there? I mean, isn’t Edward supposed to have at least a six-pack? Jacob even got an eight-pack, so in comparison to that… sorry to say Rob, but Taylor wins this one!

Caius Malfoy and his Volturi friends

Did anyone else think Marcus and Caius looked like Denethor, Faramir’s dad from Lord of the Rings, and  Draco Malfoy’s older brother? Did the Volturi fight scene between Edward and Demetri remind you of the Gandalf vs. Saruman battle in the LOTR?

And there’s another thing. Not your fault Chris, this is just how Stephenie Meyer wrote Bella and the reason why this girl sometimes annoys the crap out of me in the books: Who do you think you are, Bella “don’t hurt him, kill me instead” Swan? Why should the Volturi treat Edward’s life against yours? You’re nothing but a weak clumsy girl, okay? Sorry to say, but deal with it!

All in all, we got everything we wanted… Well, almost. Taylor Lautner wore a shirt in at least three scenes. BIG FAIL! Sorry Chris… But don’t worry, Zelda and I enjoyed the movie a lot. We’re probably going to watch it over and over again for the next few weeks… Only because of important blog journalism of course so that we can present you a more detailed review soon. Wanna know what Mama Soul said about New Moon? She made so many great hilarious comments that she will get her own post this week. Don’t miss it! There’s no better way to watch this film than sitting in between her and Zelda. We’ve got enough stuff to write about for at least four weeks, so keep coming back to check what else we got in store for you!

Anybody knows who he is? (More pictures of him after the jump)

The son of mr Renegade, having fun with Lindsay Lohan.

Today’s the day. We thought it might never come but now it’s finally here. Today Zelda and I are going to see New Moon. Wow, just writing it down makes me almost go completely fangirl-crazy… But of course this is a special occasion and you cannot simply walk into the theatre, sit down, watch the movie and then leave again. For something this huge you need to be prepared properly! So this is why we came up with a “ten things we absolutely need for the New Moon premiere” checklist. We tried to pick only stuff you can hide away in your handbag easily so no one will envy you because you thought it all out so well… uhm, actually we thought it out so well, but whatever. So now we proudly present the ultimate New Moon premiere survival package aka everything Zelda and I are trying to stuff in our handbags before we leave tonight.

I may or may not have disguised our New Moon premiere tickets as swan lake ballet tickets...

1. Our tickets! Most important of all and therefor our number one. Because if we forget them we’re going to get into huge trouble when we try to sneak in undetected… I got them four weeks ago just to make sure we get the best places, the VIP-seats so to speak.

2. A camera so we can take pictures of ourselves kissing the Edward and Jacob cutouts all the crazy fangirls, wearing their best Twilight-outfits, which are sure to be there.

3. A paper-bag in case we’re going to hyperventilate because of all the half-naked smoking hot guys in New Moon aka the wolfpack. Okay, and maybe also because of Edward in the Volterra “I wanna get killed because I sparkle” scene.

Are you already hyperventilating? Because I know that I am...

4. A pen and

5. A note block so we can write everything important down in order to write an amazing post tomorrow with at least 100 details you couldn’t remember after seeing the movie for the first time. But in reality we will write zero stuff in it, absolutely nothing at all. Because we will be so occupied watching Chris Weitz’ masterpiece that we will completely forget about the awesome note blocks we brought. And then we will have to write a typical “What we thought while seeing the movie for the first time” post and go to the cinema again to catch up on all the details… which we will, trust!

6. Our Team Edward (probably Zelda) and Team Jacob (probably Soul) hankies in case we have to cry during the whole breakup scene (*false, we don’t have special hankies but I bet if you search through the internet you’re sure to find someone who will sell them*)

7. Our special Tayrob tribute movie meal consisting of a bottle of Heineken (for Rob) and a bag full of meat-patties (for Taylor). Yeah, who wants popcorn if one can have this?

8. A pillow to muffle up a.) your sobs during the breakup scene and the “Bella’s a zombie now” part b.) your screams during the birthday / jasper’s hungry scene, the Volterra scene and everytime Taylor Lautner or any other member of the wolfpack (ahem…Alex Meraz…ahem) takes off his shirt and shows us his awesome abs for basically no reason. Hey, you don’t hear me complaining…

The Rob Pattinson plaid earmuff collection

9. Very important: earmuffs! Just in case ,plaid earmuffs,Rob Pattinson collectioneveryone goes completely fangirl-crazy about the huge amount of abs shown in the movie and you can’t bear it any longer without becoming deaf. Simply put your earmuffs on and enjoy the picture on the big screen. Best get them out every time as soon as Taylor / Jacob’s hands go anywhere near the rim of his shirt…

10. Okay, this one does definitely not fit into our handbags but I got to mention it anyway: my mom! Yes, my mom will come with us to watch the movie. And since she’s one of those people who absolutely hate spoilers, she hasn’t even seen the trailer yet. And didn’t have time to read the book. And therefor has zero idea what’s going to happen. Another reason why I absolutely need number one, the camera. So that I can take super sneaky pics of her anytime something unsuspected (well, for her at least…) happens. Like Jasper trying to eat Bella. Or Edward leaving. Or Jacob taking his shirt off (probably not so unsuspected after the 5th time…). Or like Paul and Jacob transforming into wolves. That’s probably my favorite, cause she doesn’t even know there are wolves at all in that movie… This is gonna be great! I will write a post about that for sure! Souls mum freaking out during New Moon, coming soon… for sure!

Por si alguien no sabe o no se acuerda quien es este hottie no los culpo, ya que ultimamente no ha tenido ni una sola pelicula exitosa y esta a punto de caer de la lista C a la D lo que significa series de television XD, por eso el buen Ryan (tal vez lo recuerden en peliculas como “juegos sexuales” o “se lo que hicieron el verano pasado”) y como el ex de Reese Whiterspoon decido llamar un poco la atencion y mostrarle a todo el mundo que todavia esta muy hot!! looking good babe, por cierto DILF = Dads(s) I(‘d) like to fuck XD

Taylor Lautner is featured on the December 2009 issue of Rolling Stone.

On Taylor Swift: ‘We got along great. We instantly clicked. And she’s, she’s an amazing girl. Aside from being beautiful, she’s extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around, so we definitely get along. We’re close.’ Dating? ’Possibly’.

The 17-year-old New Moon star also admitted he’s never smoked pot, never tried cigarettes and never snorted a line of cocaine. Good for him!
