[Intro]

Isabel: Hello, and welcome to the PattyCast, I’m Isabel.

Joy: And I’m Joy.

Janna: And I’m Janna.

Isabel: And let’s hop into the news. Some general news--and this is old stuff--the Teen Choice Awards: they won eleven awards for Twilight, and Rob won “Hottest Hottie” in the Department of Redundancy Department Awards. The Hottest Hottie award.

Joy: With Megan Fox, of course, and now he gets to keep a giant surfboard. Awesome.

[Laughter]

Janna: You know what’s funny about that, though?

Isabel: What?

Janna: Megan Fox totally talked a bunch of crap about Rob—

Isabel: Yeah, she did!

Janna: --In one of her interviews. I think she said that he was too pretty, and boys in their twenties were like, worthless or something.

Isabel: Yeah, or they didn’t really know anything—

Janna: Or are a waste of time.

Joy: Well that’s because--isn’t she engaged to some guy who’s like 40 or something? I don’t know.

[Laughter]

Janna: She’s engaged to Bryan Austin Green, from 90210!

Isabel: No she isn’t. Are you serious?

Joy: Oh. Sorry, I’d pick Rob over him any day.

Isabel: Yeah.

Janna: Come on man, David Silberer is really rad. He’s got some DJ skills.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Some really rad DJ skills.

Janna: And I was totally kidding.

Isabel: Alright, moving on.

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh, wow.

Isabel: Some How to Be DVD release dates: in Germany it’s gonna be October 15th and in the US it’s either gonna be November 3rd or on the 17th. Don’t know why we have two dates for that.

Joy: We have two dates for that because we have two different listings. IFC is listing it as November 3rd, and we confirmed with Justin Kelly that is was November 3rd, but now there’s been press releases saying it’s November 17th, so—

Isabel: It might’ve changed.

Joy: It might’ve changed. Just keep an eye out. Go to the store November 3rd, if it’s not there, go back November 17th, you’re good.

[Laughter]

Isabel: And that news brought to you by the PattyCast.

[Laughter]

Janna: You heard it here first, people, go home.

Isabel: More DVD release dates: the Haunted Airman is releasing in the US on October 13th, so everyone who still hasn’t seen it in the US can now get it on DVD. Unbound Captives is to start shooting at the end of this year. I think that’s kind of exciting. He’s so busy.

Joy: I know.

Janna: I know. This one seems like a really huge opportunity for him. Like, it looks like a really big, serious movie and a gigantic budget. So, I’m really excited to see that one.

Joy: How big do you think his role’s gonna be in that one? I mean, obviously it’s like gonna be mainly Hugh Jackman. I mean—not that I’m complaining. Love Hugh Jackman. But yeah, I’m just wondering like, how big is his role gonna be? I know that they’re kind of pushing it like, “Oh, Rob is in this movie,” cuz I think they’re trying to reach out to his fans, which is smart--very smart marketing move, but I’m kind of like—I mean, how much is he actually gonna be in it? Like, how big is his supporting role, you know? I was just curious.

Janna: I don’t know. There’s so little out there about this. This is like the first thing they’ve really announced--that article.

Joy: Yeah, isn’t it supposed to be like a Western, or something like that, I mean—it’s like not in modern times.

[Laughter]

Janna: Oh, don’t ruin it for me!

Isabel: Spoiler alert!

[Laughter]

Joy: Spoiler alert: Rob in a cowboy hat.

Isabel: As long as it’s not—

[Laughter]

Isabel: a bio-terrorist attack.

Joy: I will laugh so much if Rob has to wear a cowboy hat in this movie. That’ll be the best.

Janna: Chaps.

Joy: Chaps.

Isabel: Chaps, yeah.

Janna: Nice spurs.

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh, my gosh.

Isabel: Oh, man.

Janna: He’s gonna hate me if it really is a Western. When all those clips start coming out? Oh, man.

Joy: All I can say is that it has to be better than Parts per Billion. At least the world’s not coming to an end.

Isabel: Yeah, it has to be better than a bio-terrorist attack.

Joy: Has to be better than Ring of the Nibelungs!

[Laughter]

Isabel: Yeah, everything—nothing will be better than being named Giseleher in a movie called Ring of the Nibelungs.

Janna: Every time I hear that movie title, I think of when he did Jay Leno with Heidi Klum sitting next to him, and he looks at her—

[Laughter]

Janna: --When he talks about it as if she has any idea what he’s talking about. And she’s like, “You need to brush your hair.”

[Laughter]

Janna: “Why are you so dirty?”

[Laughter]

Isabel: Oh, Heidi. Alright, we’ve got a few articles this week. On theImproper.com, they talked about Rob being the new James Dean or Marlon Brando. I think there’s a few similarities, I read the article, I enjoyed it. I just don’t think that he’s like, the next anything. I dunno. I think a lotta people want him to fit into like, some sort of defining role but I think it’s hard to categorize him.

Joy: Oh, I agree. When he first started making headlines with Goblet of Fire, people were like, “Oh, he’s the next Jude Law!” Um, thankfully not.

Janna: Ew.

[Laughter]

Joy: I’ve seen so many people compare him to Johnny Depp, and not to say that the comparisons are wrong--it’s not, you know--I think he’s got a lot of similarities in his film choices to people like Johnny Depp, and whatever--but I don’t get the whole, “The next so-and-so” thing. It doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t know.

Janna: It’s not that it’s not flattering, you know?

Isabel: Like, to just define them.

Janna: Yeah, what’s wrong with being the new Robert Pattinson?

Isabel: Yeah, I’d be cool with that.

[Laughter]

Joy: Okay, I also saw like--and kind of related--an article about one of the new Eclipse guys--Xavier Samuel I think his name is--and it was all like, “Is he trying to steal Rob’s thunder?” And, “Is he gonna undermine what Rob has built?” And it was just like—

[Laughter]

Joy: What? Who freakin’ cares? And they had like a picture of them side-by-side, but like a split-screen picture, and they were both wearing gray shirts with like, a black jacket. And they were like, “They’re even dressing alike!” And I was like, okay, they’re guys, of course they’re gonna dress like slobs, I mean—

Isabel: They all dress the same, anyway.

Janna: Haven’t you seen any of Rob’s friends?

[Laughter]

Joy: They all steal each other’s clothes!

Isabel: They all don’t shower often.

Joy: It just makes me laugh.

Isabel: Or brush their hair.

[Laughter]

Joy: But they—this article about the James Dean/Marlon Brando, they even had like, clips of them all, and it just made me laugh.

Isabel: Yeah, I know, this is really like, scientifically done.

Joy: Even better—the poll that they have on the site, right? Rob Pattinson, James Dean, and Marlon Brando are dot, dot, dot: ‘definitely alike,’ ‘some similarities,’ or ‘totally different,’ which should we choose? Let’s—tell me what to vote for. I’m gonna vote.

Janna: D) That question is retarded.

[Laughter]

Joy: I’m gonna vote for ‘some similarities,’ cuz it’s between the other two. I like to be right in the middle.

Isabel: I think there are some similarities, but I just don’t think—

Janna: Nope, nope. I’m still voting for D) You need a better job.

[Laughter]

Joy: Okay, here we go: 39% says ‘definitely alike,’ 48% says ‘some similarities,’ and 11% says ‘totally different.’ So.

Isabel: Well, good. Well then good. I feel right at home in the pack, with everybody else.

Joy: Everyone is right.

Isabel: MTV has an article out—was it this week? I’m not really sure—about—

Joy: Maybe. Or last week.

Isabel: Last week, maybe. About how Brent Ratner wants Rob in Young Blood, which is a comic series, and he gets to be some sort of superhero that’s been commissioned by the government, or something--or sanctioned by the government. It sounds really interesting. I wanna see him in a role like that and I think it’s really—it’s complimentary that this guy’s saying that Rob should branch out more. That he’s saying that Rob is more than just Twilight, which we’ve been saying for a long time.

Janna: Yeah.

Joy: That’d be really cool. And of course, it’s just—you know, there’s not even like negotiations going on—

Isabel: No, this is just an idea.

Joy: Bret Ratner was just saying, “Oh, it would be great to have him.” That’s as far as he’s gone. But yeah, I agree, I think that’d be great. I’d love to see him do something like that. I think that’d be kinda fun. Maybe he’d get to wear some Spandex.

[Laughter]

Joy: Did you just—oh my God, does that really say “Codename Shaft?”

[Laughter]

Isabel: I was waiting ‘til you picked up on that!

[Laughter]

Isabel: I was like, doo doo doo doo, Janna’s gonna pick it up right now.

Janna: Shaft!

Joy: Oh my gosh, I wanna see Rob trying to shoot a gun.

[Laughter]

Isabel: I can just see the kick-back like, blowing him backwards. He’s that small.

[Laughter]

Joy: Was this supposed to be a comedy superhero movie, or what? Alright anyway, let’s move on.

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh, I really wanted to talk about the Mirror, and how they did that fake article, and how, like, a bunch of other sources called them out on it. I thought that was absolutely hysterical. I mean—

Isabel: How do you think you’d get away with that? Like, I mean—

Janna: I know!

Joy: It was just ridiculous.

Isabel: Even with just the fangirls, to begin with, you know how these girls know word-for-word almost every single, like, interview he’s ever had, so how can you—how could you even get away with that?

Joy: Plus, the funniest thing is that they totally spelled ‘Twilight’ wrong. I mean, that’s just—come on.

[Laughter]

Janna: That’s some classic advertising.

Joy: The Twilight Examiner was saying it’s just a mixture of old quotes and, you know, new stuff, but then stuff that they’ve just totally made up. And even Rob’s management commented and was like, “Um, he’s never spoken to the Mirror. It’s just a total lie.” I thought that was absolutely hysterical. But if you go to the Mirror, like, the article is still there. They didn’t take it down or anything.

Isabel: Of course it’s still there! They’re shameless.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Have you seen their website, really?

Joy: I would be totally embarrassed if that happened to me. Like, if I made something up and got called out on it. I would be like, “Delete!” I dunno what you’re talking about.

Isabel: Well, that’s their job!

[Laughter]

Isabel: We’d never make anything up. At least…not anymore.

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh, gosh.

Janna: I would. No, I’m kidding.

Joy: This is like a great time to plug the site gossipcop.com. Have you guys seen that site? It’s fabulous. It’s basically like—this site is just all about finding these rumors and debunking them. It’s fabulous. I love it. And they’re actually the ones who originally found out that this article was a fake. I was like, that’s so genius. I love that site.

Isabel: That’s hilarious.

[Laughter]

Isabel: So for the first time in history, ever, I’m actually saying: Let’s talk about New Moon, cuz I saw the trailer--

Joy: Isn’t it good?

Isabel: Okay, Oh my God! I think it’s because there’s more Jacob. I really think that that’s why it’s better.

Janna: Yeah.

Isabel: I mean, I’m never gonna ever say that, ever again. Just take note.

Joy: You’re gonna get angry e-mails.

Isabel: But--No, but the things is that I think that even Bella is more palatable this time around. I don’t know. It just seems more—there’s more Something in this movie. And I’m actually gonna be really excited about seeing it, and I won’t make as much fun of it as Twilight, I think.

Joy: That’s not true.

[Laughter]

Janna: Wow. I wouldn’t go that far. But I do—

Isabel: You know me too well.

Janna: Yeah, and I know me, too, and I know us.

Isabel: Snark central.

Janna: We’ll still be talking a bunch of crap, but still, I completely agree, I’m excited for it, which is odd. And I think—

[Laughter]

Isabel: Me too!

Janna: And I think they’re doing a really good job of appealing to those outside of the Twilight fandom, cuz it really does look genuinely interesting. Like—

Isabel: Yeah, it really does; SO much better than Twilight looked. I mean, even just the CGI was—I still think he looks like a big fluffy dog that would just like, lick your hand after a while.

Joy: Well you know what? I did read an article that talked about Chris Weitz—I don’t know if this was official, but—the reporter was saying that Summit chose Christ Weitz because of his experience with CGI and those effects. Which makes sense because we’re all—we all love Catherine Hardwicke, but special effects are not her forte. But I’m excited to see that the special effects are gonna be better. Just, like, if that explosion of Jacob to werewolf is any indication, I think the special effects are gonna be really awesome. You know what I’m saying?

Isabel: Yeah.

Isabel: Explosion. That was one of our vocabulary words this week.

[Laughter]

Joy: Explosion.

Isabel: Okay, seriously, my favorite part wasn’t just one part, though. My favorite part was throughout the trailer, it was weave. No weave. Weave. No weave. Jacob’s hair. That was my favorite part, I was like—

Joy: I’m so excited—

Isabel: “Ah! The continuity! Too much weave!”

Joy: That Jake--or Taylor, or whatever we’re gonna call him--has no real hair now, and that they’re gonna get rid of it.

Isabel: Yeah, me too, I’m excited about it.

Joy: But let me ask you guys, I’ve heard different reactions about the voiceover that Taylor’s doing cuz it’s not like a real trailer-y kind of thing.

Isabel: Some people hate it.

Joy: And you know, Summit is not even calling it a trailer, they’re calling it a preview-- whatever that is--but I actually kinda liked it. You know, Taylor is personable, you can’t help but adore him, and I liked to hear him—

Isabel: I liked it, too.

Joy: Kind of give a little bit of insight.

Janna: I think it’s just cuz it’s new and it’s different.

Isabel: It’s a good PR move on their part.

Janna: Yeah, it’s informative for those who haven’t read the book, and because they’re really trying to appeal the movie to other people that are outside—

Isabel: --To a bigger audience, yeah.

Janna: Who aren’t already really excited for the movie, they’re trying to drum up other publicity, and I think they did a good job. I agree it’s kind of weird. Like, it’s not—it slightly takes away from the drama of like, if you just watched the scenes. But I mean, come on people, try something new!

Joy: And I think you’re right about the—

Isabel: Yeah I know! Exactly.

Joy:--cuz think about it. The original teaser trailer that we got for New Moon pretty much just showed the birthday scene, and then Edward leaving, and then, like, the werewolf all of a sudden out of the blue. And for anyone who A) had not seen the first movie, or B) had not read the first books, that would make—

Isabel: They’d be like, what?

Joy: No; sense. They’d be like, “What the hell? She got a paper cut, then they got in a fight, then there’s a wolf.” I mean like, it’s so confusing. For those of us who know what’s happening we’re like, “Oh my gosh, it’s so awesome!” But they’re trying to branch out.

Janna: What!? Wait, wait a minute.

Joy: Okay, for ME who thinks it’s so awesome.

[Laughter]

Joy: You guys are jerks.

Isabel: Yeah, exactly. Well, I just think that—

Janna: Well, I just thought, “That’s pretty cool.”

[Laughter]

Isabel: I think—I just think it’s really smart of them because Taylor’s, like, always smiling, always happy, everyone always has a positive reaction to him. So, I think him, I guess, voiceover narrating it makes it more—he’s like their go-to guy for talk-about-happy-things in New Moon. Because, you know, like Rob doesn’t really articulate very well, and Kristen doesn’t really like talking about the movie.

Joy: Seriously.

Isabel: So I think they did a good job.

Janna: Kristen, she just doesn’t like talking.

Isabel: Period.

Janna: “Hi. Check out my hair.”

[Laughter]

Janna: (in a monotone) “I really thought that this was a different movie role, for me. I really branched out. And I’m very, very excited about it.”

[Laughter]

Isabel: I think that they chose Taylor well, especially since he has more of a part than Rob, anyway.

Joy: Oh yeah, totally. This is really gonna be Taylor’s movie. I actually really like New Moon. I know a lot of Team Edward people are like, “New moon sucks because he’s not in there.” But I think New Moon is a great book, and I’m excited to see Taylor really step up, cuz he’s a good actor, you know?

Isabel: I like Bella a lot better in New Moon than I liked her in Twilight.

Joy: Yeah, I think it’s a good book for her character.

Isabel: She’s not as whiny. And dumb.

Janna: I don’t remember liking New Moon. I remember it being the book that I was just kind of like, “Okay, let’s get through this,” But now that I see the movie trailer I’m like, “Maybe I should go back and reread it,” cuz I’m like—

[Laughter]

Isabel: Don’t you even think about it.

Janna: “Was it good?” Well, I thought about it, and then I immediately dismissed the thought.

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh my gosh.

Janna: God, I’m gonna get hate mail.

Isabel: Me too, it’s okay. Admin.pattinsononline@gmail.com

Joy: But don’t address it to me, because I actually like it, thank you very much.

Isabel: Hey, I liked this trailer. I just enjoy making fun of these books. A lot. One of my friends said recently there’s like three types of Twilight fans. The people who are super obsessive, who know everything about it—

[Janna coughing in background “Joy”]

Isabel: Who own the jewelry, who own like—

Joy: I don’t own any jewelry!

Isabel: I don’t know--but everything. And there’s the people who enjoy it moderately; they just—I mean, it’s not something that they’re obsessed about. It’s just one of the many fandoms that they enjoy, and then there’s a third kind of Twilight fan: the people who, like, hate it most of the time, but there’s like five percent that they like about it—

Joy: And that’s where you are most of the time.

[Laughter]

Isabel: That’s where I fall. Yeah.

Janna: Yup.

Isabel: I really, really like this. I’m looking forward to this a lot. I enjoyed what I saw, and I want them to show more. I’m actually excited about it.

Joy: I think my favorite part was when Taylor was talking about how he gained 30 pounds of muscle, and he had, like, this little grin like he was so proud of himself. It was so cute.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Thirty pounds heavier.

Joy: It was so cute, I really enjoyed the voiceover. I just thought it kinda added something to it; it made it a little bit different. I didn’t expect it. I thought it was great, cuz it really is gonna be focusing more on Jacob and Bella and not Edward, which we all knew—I mean, those of us who’ve read the books—but I think it’s gonna be really good. And I remember reading some articles--or interviews, rather--with Rob and Kristen and Taylor, and they were saying that their favorite scenes are the break-up scenes between Edward and Bella, and then the one where Jacob has to tell Bella like, “I can’t be your friend anymore,” Or whatever. They said that those were their favorites, which I think is really awesome because in the book those scenes are so powerful, and so emotional. So, I’m glad that they, you know, A) kept them in, and B) that they’re gonna be really good scenes. But I also wanted to talk about some of the fan reactions. We asked for people to e-mail us and, you know--I mean, the general consensus was that everybody really liked it, so I thought maybe we could just read a few of these?

Isabel: Sure. I’ll read the first one. It’s from DJ, who often e-mails us--thanks for your e-mails, DJ!--and she writes: “I thought Bella's vision of Edward looked great, I remember Rob saying that his role of acting in this movie involved him standing on a box or something, it was his kind of acting =] I know that people were a bit worried about how Chris will show Edward but I thought it looked really good, better than I imagined it would be, obviously he is a hologram, and how else do the fans expect him to be? people need to stop complaining =]”

[Amen!] “The second trailer "meet jacob black" I loved it too, even though we only got a glance of just Edward I think its when Jane tortures him? his expression was horrible... in a good way but a bad way too because of Jane. I heard that people were annoyed that there wasn't much of Edward but New Moon is all about Jacob and Bella!”

Joy: Yeah. It’s like, what are you annoyed about? Did you read the book? Are you surprised that there’s not so much Edward?

[Laughter]

Joy: She has such a good point. It’s all about Jacob and Bella. The book is, like, not even really about Edward; very good point.

Isabel: Yeah, they even CGI’d him in so that he would have more of a presence.

Janna: That’s right, exactly.

Joy: Which, by the way, I’m really glad that they did it--like she was saying--kind of with the hologram look, rather than just his voice, because I think that’s gonna make a difference because like, It’s one thing in a book to kind of, you know, hear a character’s voice per se, but in a film if they were just like, injecting his voice, I think it would really kinda confuse some of the non-book readers. But if they have that visual representation of him, I think it’ll make a big difference, and it looked cool. Like, it didn’t look cheesy, the way that they did it. Anyway, the next e-mail is from Sarah: “I thought the trailer was absolutely amazing. Do you think the screen shot of Rob is when Bella is being tortured by Jane or when he is being tortured? I think it is when Bella is being tortured since in the book he tries to cover up the pain and agony that Jane causes, but when Jane tries to harm Bella he looses it.”

[Shut up! I’m not repeating it again]

[Janna and Isabel make fun of her in background]

Joy: I’m gonna mute you, you bastards.

Janna: Edward loses it.

Joy: I hate you guys!

Isabel: I just can’t stop the giggles, I’m sorry! And it’s so phrased poorly that no wonder you’re tripping over it.

Janna: I don’t blame you at all.

[Laughter]

Joy: English! Who speaks English?

Joy: Ugh. Anyway, I think she’s right about the torturing scene, and DJ mentioned that, too. I don’t really know if it’s when Bella or Edward is being tortured, whatever, but I thought that was kinda cool, like I’m glad they kept that in.

Isabel: It looks good.

Joy: Can we also just do a side-note and talk about how awesome the Volturi look? Have you seen those pictures?

Isabel: Yes. It looks scary.

Joy: They look fantastic. I’m really excited about it.

Isabel: I’m really glad they have a bigger budget. It looks it.

Joy: Me too.

Janna: Okay, this e-mail is from Narish, she says, “The new "preview" (as Summit is calling it) for New Moon was ok, I guess. I really didn't like Taylor talking over the preview as it just felt wrong. All he did was tell us it will kick ass. I suppose it was targeted towards non-Twilight fans. The latter part of the preview was very exciting.” Well. Tell us how you really feel.

[

[Laughter]

Isabel: Yeah, we talked about that.

Janna: I know--you know what? I understand where she’s coming from. It was weird, but it wasn’t bad. I don’t think it was bad at all.

Isabel: It’s just a preview, exactly. Come on, guys, try a new flavor! It’s just different.

Janna: Exactly, it’s just a different form and if you really do sit back and think about it, it is geared towards the non-Twilight fans, and it wouldn’t make sense. So, if you didn’t know what Twilight was all about, it would kinda be like, “Okay, this movie is weird.”

Isabel: And let’s not be hating on the would-be new fans that are coming into the fandom just now. Let them know about what’s going on. It’s fine.

Janna: Yeah. Welcome them into the group.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Exactly. Don’t be bitches.

Joy: Group hug!

[Laughter]

Isabel: This next e-mail’s from Samantha and here’s what she says: “OMG! I finally got around to watching this with the sound on today and AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! It looks completely amazing. I seriously cannot wait to see the movie – 20 November just CANNOT come around soon enough! The only thing I am slightly concerned about is Bella’s scene right at the beginning when Edward leaves her. Not entirely convinced from the trailer that Kristen has completely nailed the emotion satisfactorily – would be really interested to know what you guys think.”

Joy: You know, I thought the same way when I first saw the trailer—but you know, granted: it doesn’t show very much. It only kind of shows her just, like, standing there and breathing. That’s—you can’t really get the full emotion of the scene from, like, one second of her breathing. And she didn’t blink at all, so how’m I supposed to know what she’s feeling?

[Laughter]

Isabel: I don’t know.

Janna: Dude, if you’re looking for her to like, bring the emotion, you’re gonna be looking for a long time.

[Laughter]

Joy: But I think that a lotta people feel the same way, and I know I’ve said that before, but that is my absolute favorite scene in the entire series—when Edward leaves Bella—because it’s such a powerful emotional scene. And I am also a little worried that Kristen’s not gonna pull it off, but I’m trying to keep and open mind and just say, “You know what, it is a movie.” But she does have a point, and I’ve seen a couple people say that, too. Like, “That scene wasn’t emotional enough.” But I mean, really, it is like one second of breathing, what’re you gonna get from that? It’s just a trailer.

Isabel: Plus, you heard what Janna said about waiting for Kristen Stewart’s emotion.

Janna: I’m giving her a chance. It was only like, a two second scene thingy of that particular scene—

Isabel: Thingy.

Janna: So.

[Laughter]

Janna: You never know. Thingy that’s the official word for it.

Joy: Wow. The last e-mail that we got was from Jemma and she says, “The New Moon Trailer looks good. I’m not going to go to ‘Bandslam’ just to see it, though. I mean, its just a trailer for another movie-please don’t hate me Twihards (LOL) I think I’ve seen the whole trailer once, actually. But my impressions were generally good. It reveals enough for me to want to see it (not that I didn’t before), and letting me know its not a play-by-play of the book. If that’s what I wanted I’d just read the book (again). Really great effects on the whole phasing thing, too. I’m pleased at how that turned out. It could have just switched from Taylor to a wolf soft toy moved by the cameraman’s hand. I also hope the sparkles are a bit better this time around (ha, just started laughing at the Edward glitter you can buy)-we’ll see though =) ” Yeah, the Edward glitter makes me laugh, too. I actually—her e-mail has a lot of good points.

Isabel: She’s pretty sensible, this Jemma.

Joy: Especially about if you wanted the play-by-play of the book, just read the book. I think that’s why a lot of people were like, “Oh, I hate Twilight!” Because it’s not like the book. But it’s not the book, it’s the movie. I dunno. I’ve always just been the kind of person who says books are books movies are movies, if they wanna try to make one, go for it, but I’m not gonna expect it to be exactly the same. Cuz how—I mean, that’s just impossible. So I think she’s got a point and yeah, I did like the part about, “It could’ve just been a wolf that they moved with the cameraman’s hand.”

[Laughter]

Joy: That would be hilarious. Anyway.

Isabel: Alright, the Comic-Con clips, are we ready to talk about those?

Joy: Yeah, I really wanted to talk about those! I figured since we were talking about the trailer, we might as well go on and talk about the clips that were released at Comic-Con and leaked onto the internet, which, of course we all watched. Please, like anyone stopped themselves. But the first one with the motorcycle—with Jacob and Bella riding the motorcycle for the first time—what did you guys think about that one?

Isabel: I thought it was good. I think that—I hate to say this, and I might regret saying this because it’s on recording, but Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart might have better chemistry than Rob and Kristen have.

Joy: Oh my God! I was just saying the same thing the other day to someone. Seriously, it’s so true!

Isabel: I really think that that’s why I kind of enjoyed the trailer and all the things that I’ve seen from New Moon, it’s just they seem to hit it off. I dunno, they seem to have more chemical reactions going on than just her and Rob. I dunno. I—that’s what I’ve noticed from these Comic-Con clips, mostly.

Joy: Yeah, I thought--like you said--the chemistry was just fantastic. They really do seem like Jacob and Bella when they’re together.

Isabel: Yeah!

Joy: I mean, I don’t know. Like you said: the chemistry. It just all really fits. I really liked the motorcycle scene with the, “You’re kind of beautiful,” line. I like that line in the book; I think it’s really cute and funny, but just kind of--the look on his face? He was like, “Okay.”

[Laughter]

Joy: It was just really cute. I just kind of liked that whole scene.

Janna: “I wish I could say the same for you, but…I can’t.”

[Laughter]

Isabel: “But you look kinda weird.”

Janna: “You look kind of...plain.”

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh gosh. And that was really the first time that we got to see the hologram-Edward kinda popping up. Which was cool, it looked really good. Although I have to say, like, Kristen actually riding on the motorcycle did look fake because I know it was.

Janna: Looked fake?

[Laughter]

Isabel: Yeah, it did look fake, it looked fake to me too.

Joy: But Edward’s part like, being inserted there looked really good. I also really liked the Italy scene that they showed. The other clip, with Bella and Alice driving through the streets and then Bella running across the square? It looked really, really good.

Janna: It does. I like all of the scenes actually, that have—

Isabel: Surfaced so far? Yeah I do like them all.

Janna: That have surfaced so far of the short flashes of Italy. I was gonna say that earlier about the actual preview that they released. It’s so—it’s very vivid colored. Like, all the red colors of the flags, and then the red eyes of the Volturi like it’s really cool looking.

Joy: I really like the coloring of this movie, too, like the way that they’ve done it. It’s more like a warm tone.

Isabel: Oh, I like it.

Joy: It’s kind of cool because Twilight was kind of blue and—

Isabel: It seems richer—

Joy: --Cool, and more like, vampire-like, I guess. I think that’s probably the mood they were trying to go for, and this is like the richer, warmer tones, I guess, kind of focusing on the werewolves. I just think it looks really cool.

Isabel: Yeah, more earthy, I suppose.

Joy: I mean, Eclipse? Maybe it’ll be like purple, or something. I don’t know. You know?

Isabel: I hope not.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Okay, so EW “More Secrets from the Set.” I hate these things, though. Are they like really new?

Joy: It wasn’t really new, yeah.

Isabel: Are they really secrets?

[Laughter]

Joy: And they’re like, “Oooh! All of these things that you should already know!”

Isabel: It’s like, “EW’s Stale Secrets from the Set!”

Joy: The only thing that I did like out of that article was the quote by Chris Weitz where he says, “'I told Summit that they could probably get a talking chimp to direct New Moon, and it would still do well.”

Joy: I think that’s so awesome.

[Laughter]

Joy: I love his sense of humor, he’s so snarky.

Isabel: It’s so true.

Janna: You know, we could’ve directed it.

Isabel: Yeah, we could’ve directed it.

[Laughter]

Janna: There would definitely have been—Oh, man, we’re gonna have to do New Moon—

Isabel: Hey, Summit, you can get all three of us to direct for the price of like, a tenth, probably, of Chris Weitz’s salary if you wanna take a budget cut somewhere.

Joy: And we could still probably do the sparkle effect better.

[Laughter]

Janna: Yes, exactly.

Isabel: Yeah, why don’t you funnel that money into the CGI?

Joy: I thought that was just such a great quote, and it’s probably a little true, too, in the respect that no matter who directs these films, you know fans are gonna go see it. It’s like, no matter how much we complain and bitch about it, we’re still gonna go see it, I mean, come on. If you’re a Twilight fan, you’re not gonna pass this up. Even the people—okay, when they had that whole mess with Rachelle LeFevre being replaced, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, blah, blah, blah—people were still like, “Yeah, I’m gonna go see it anyway.” And there were a few who said, “I am boycotting!” But eh, if you’re a real fan you’re gonna go see it. They’re gonna complain, they’re gonna say—

Janna: Bologna!

Joy: “Oh I don’t like this, Oh I don’t like that, Oh Taylor’s voiceover ra ra ra,” You’re still gonna go see the movie, don’t lie.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Everyone has to whine about something at some point. It’s fine.

Joy: Exactly, exactly. And that’s part of the fun of being a fan--to be honest--is just to pick apart this kind of stuff and say, “I hate this, I love this, “And that’s just—it’s fun, that’s why we do it. But we all just really wanna see it. I think this is gonna be really awesome. Rob also did an interview with XX mag, where he just talked about how relaxing shooting New moon was because Chris is really peaceful, and the other actors have said the same thing about Weitz. He’s real relaxed, and just kind of mellow, you know? And we’ve talked about this before: Catherine Hardwicke is like all energy all the time and Chris is just like, whatever.

[Laughter]

Joy: Not to say that he’s not taking it seriously; he’s just so much more mellow than Catherine, so I’m sure it must be just a different kind of set. Plus, everyone knows each other now, and like—Rob’s quote was, “We knew what type of animal we were dealing with.” That’s just kind of what you expect from a sequel, I think. So I’m looking forward to seeing that relaxation, you know, on-screen where they’re interacting with each other a little bit more naturally, and I think that’ll be interesting to see.

Janna: Plus, that’s better for him, too, because probably, honestly, the only place that he gets like, privacy.

Isabel: Yup, it’s the only closed set.

Janna: So if it’s relaxed environment--yeah--that he has. I don’t know.

Isabel: Speaking of closed sets, actually, I missed a point of news, the soundtrack.

[Janna gasps]

Janna: I love the soundtrack! Because all of—today it was released, the news that Death Cab for Cutie has a song confirmed on the New Moon soundtrack. “Meet Me on the Equinox,” I think it’s called. I love Death Cab for Cutie, so I’m really excited about that. And they’re going to debut—I think a music video, from what I read briefly earlier—on the same day as the VMA’s for this new song.

Joy: Yeah, there’s been quite a few confirmed for the soundtrack, like Von Iver, and Muse, of course, and Tom York, and I know that there’s a couple of like, independent recording artists who are trying to get on. And I think that’s such a cool thing, that people are actually trying to get their music into these films. I think that’s kind of cool.

Janna: Yeah. I’m actually excited for it, because I love the music that Rob and the cast of Twilight listen to. I think they have really good taste in music, and I think that’s half of the reason why the soundtrack has as much pull as it does, because of how great the first one did. And I’m excited. I’m more excited for the soundtrack than the movie!

[Laughter]

Joy: That’s awesome.

Janna: I’ll throw that out there.

Joy: Well, I mean, I really liked the Twilight soundtrack. It had all sorts of stuff I like on it; and the score, as well.

Janna: I liked a few of the songs from Twilight--the first Twilight. I didn’t really like it. I mean, I thought there were a couple good songs on the Twilight soundtrack, but I didn’t really care for it that much. But I think that there was a lot of focus during the Twilight media blitz--when they were doing all that promotion--there was a lotta focus on Rob and his favorite music, and I know that MuchMusic did all kinds of interviews with the cast where they asked them about their favorite songs, and their favorite bands.

Joy: Yeah, I found out that this guy named Alexander De—It’s French. I don’t know how to speak French, so however you pronounce it—he’s doing the score, and he’s also done the score for the Golden Compass, which was directed by Chris Weitz. So I’m sure that’s where they got the connection. But he also did the score for the Curious Case of Benjamin button, and the Queen, and the Painted Veil, and some really big movies with good music, so that’ll be nice. I think--I could be wrong--but I think that he’s kind of taking the already created Bella’s Lullaby from Carter Burwell and just modifying it. You know what I mean? Like, making it fit in with his score. Kind of like what they did with Harry Potter. I mean, there’s like Harry Potter’s Theme, and every single composer has worked it in, so that’ll be cool, to kind of get that continuity. I do like the Carter Burwell version of Bella’s lullaby.

Isabel: I did, too.

Joy: I thought it was nice.

[Laughter]

Joy: Some people don’t.

Janna: Hey!

[Laughter]

Janna: I’m not a fan.

Joy: Just kidding.

Isabel: Alright, moving on to Eclipse, which is currently filming in Vancouver. I’m really happy that they’re back in my part of the world. Not that I see them, or anything, but—

Joy: Yeah, when are you gonna go, man?

[Laughter]

Isabel: They’re on a closed set and I run a no-stalking website.

[Laughter]

Joy: Get your paparazzi camera going, man, let’s go!

[Laughter]

Janna: Put on a Mounties uniform and just infiltrate.

Isabel: Yeah, I could. I could.

[Laughter]

Joy: “I’ll protect you, Rob!”

Isabel: But yeah, there’s a lot of set pics of them arriving, which I guess is pictures of them working, so we’re linking you guys to that. So, let’s talk about Rachelle Lefevre, and she’s being replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard. Now, since we’re not affiliated with any studios or whatever, I can say that I think Summit sucked the big one on this one.

Joy: Oh, yeah. Well, we were online when it happened, do you remember?

Isabel: Yeah, I do remember that.

Joy: And we were freaking out because all of a sudden, like, Twitter exploded. Because we follow, like, all of these other Twilight sites, and all these things, and all of a sudden it was just like, this rage that rose up from the fangirls. It was just shock and “I can’t believe this is happening she’s being replaced!” And people are, like, Googling left and right--I mean, I’m sure she was a trending topic within like, an hour. It was absolutely insane.

Isabel: It was crazy.

Joy: And people were freaking out. Twitter actually removed the trending topic, which is a whole ‘nother issue, don’t get me started—

Isabel: Yeah, they removed it as a trending topic.

Joy: --On that, but it was just absolutely amazing to see people just rise up as this huge force

[Laughter]

Joy: It was really, really crazy. But most of the outrage was just directed at Summit. No one said—I mean, that I could see—no one said anything bad about Bryce, and she’s a fantastic actress, so I think she’ll do a fine job in the role, but people were just so angry that Summit had done this. Especially because then, a little bit later Rachelle came out with this statement that said, “Oh, I’m so shocked and hurt by this,” Like, she hadn’t seen it coming or whatever, and then Summit fired back at her and said, “Oh, she’s acting like a child,” basically, and whatever. It was just this huge mess. And I think—I mean, obviously, now it’s calmed down cuz this was a couple weeks ago, but it was just absolutely ridiculous what happened, and I think, yeah, like you said, Summit, this was not a good move on their part. Not a good move. You don’t wanna piss off the Twilight fans, you know?

[Laughter]

Isabel: Oh God, no.

Janna: And I think it was pretty clear, too, that the fans—and I applaud them for that, that in their rage--they didn’t base it towards Bryce, they based it towards Summit, and it wasn’t like, “We don’t like her,” it was just like, “We really like Rachelle and you messed up big time.”

Isabel: Exactly, it wasn’t anything against Bryce.

Janna: I mean, she’s really talented, I think she’ll offer a lot to any role, so I’m actually a little bit—I’ll throw it out there, I’ll put my hat in the ring and face the Twilight-hards—I think she’ll be good in the movie, and I’m excited to see what she does, but I think that it was a bad idea. I think that Rachelle could’ve done an awesome job, as well. And I think that it just seems so minor based on their explanations like, I think it was a matter of what? Like a week or something like that?

Joy: Ten days.

Janna: Ten days. That they didn’t seem like they really wanted to work it out, like they could have and it just, yeah, it just seemed frivolous, like they should’ve just fixed it.

Joy: Yeah, this does not look good on Summit at all, and they just keep seeming to make these bad decisions, and this was just such a big one, and the fans were outraged. Just about every comment that I saw was, you know, directed at Summit and just how horribly they’re handling this. I mean, I feel bad for Bryce because she’s gotta hear all this stuff. Not that—like you said, nobody’s directing it at her, but at the same time, to have to step in and fill--

Janna: That’s a lotta pressure.

Joy: --Someone’s shoes who the fandom really loves, I’m sure she’s feeling that pressure.

Janna: Exactly. I think she’s gonna rock it, though. I think that that’s probably going to give her even more push to be successful in her role, and I think she’ll be fine.

Isabel: I don’t think she’ll do a bad job, it’s just the continuity. I mean, I really like Rachelle, and I think most of the fandom did, and she was so sweet and everything, but you’re right, it’s not anything against anyone.

Janna: She fit. She fit very well. Like, even in Twilight when she had pretty minor scenes, but at the end where she does the scene where she’s walking away and she pulls out her hair and whatnot, like, she rocked it.

[Laughter]

Janna: I’m sorry, like, she did.

Joy: I mean, at least Bryce and Rachelle kinda look a little bit alike, you know what I mean? Like, that’s one thing they got--

[Laughter]

Joy: They both have the red hair--

Isabel: What, all redheads look alike?

[Laughter]

Joy: But if you look at pictures of them side-by-side they do have, like, a similar facial structure. So I mean, like, people who aren’t real fans, like real dedicated, you know--not not real fans, but you know what I mean. They’re not really dedicated to the films--they’re not gonna care that much, they’re gonna be like, “Oh, someone different, whatever.” you know? So for that demographic, they’re just gonna be like, “Okay, whatever.” And to be honest, some people might not even notice. But those who’ve seen Twilight a hundred times, and who’ve followed the filming and everything, and who really support Rachelle, that’s gonna be kinda hard for them to watch when she’s not gonna be in Eclipse. Especially because Eclipse is a big role for her, you know? I mean, Victoria has a lot of importance in Eclipse. So, I was disappointed.

Isabel: Yup,, I was disappointed. But, anyway, moving on, “Five scenes that need to make it into Eclipse.” You wanna list them off?

Joy: Yeah, Reelzchannel had this article about their top five things that they wanted to see in Eclipse, and they wanted the character flashbacks, like we got with Rosalie and the other vampires, and they wanted the scene where Jacob kisses Bella and then Bella punches him, which is great--I want that one, too-- and then they wanted to see the chapter Fire and Ice, where Jacob and Edward have that conversation in the tent during the battle and Bella’s like supposedly asleep--

Isabel: That’s my favorite part.

Joy: I love that scene, love it. Then they also wanna see Bella’s acceptance of Edward’s proposal--spoiler alert--which is also a fantastic scene, and then of course, the final fight with Edward and Victoria and all that. I think those are a great five choices.

Isabel: Yeah, not bad.

Janna: They’re all pretty key points in the book, so I’m sure they’ll probably--

Joy: The only one that I’m worried about is the character flashbacks, like, I mean--

Janna: --be in the film.

Joy: --will they keep those? We didn’t get to see any of, like, Carlisle’s history, you know?

Isabel: I don’t think so. It doesn’t seem like they have enough time, and it’s not that important.

Joy: Yeah, like, in Twilight they cut out where James talks about how he was the one who knew about Alice and all that stuff, like they cut that out, you know? And I guess--to say it’s not necessarily vital to the plot, you know what I’m saying? Like, I love those scenes, and for people who read the books they’re really interesting, and they do give you more character development, but movie-wise, they’re really not that important. Does that make sense? I know that they’re gonna keep in the final fight, there’s no way they’re gonna take out the fight scene in Eclipse, and when I was at Twi-Tour, Ashley Greene was talking about how excited she is about filming that. Like, she actually talked with David Slade, and talked about the logistics of that fight scene and everything, you know, and how excited she was to get to do that. So, I’m--they’re gonna put it in, obviously, that’s like the big climax of the film. The other ones I’m sure they will, I mean, I think that the kiss between Jacob and Bella is really important because really Eclipse is all about Bella making a choice, you know? I mean, granted, there’s all like, the fight and Victoria coming, whatever, but that’s really secondary to the relationship in that book, and how hard would that be? That’s like what, a two minute scene? Throw that in, you’re good. The Jacob and Edward conversation about Bella and everything; that is just such a fantastic scene: people are gonna be pissed if they don’t put that in, I’m sure they will. It’s really pivotal. And I loved the part where Bella and Edward talk about their ten favorite nights since meeting each other and that’s when she says that she’ll marry him. It’s good. It’s good stuff here, people. Gotta keep it in.

[Laughter]

Joy: We did get an e-mail from Tess, talking about Eclipse and she said: “Even though the director has kept the film close to the book as possible I must ask but there is a rumour going round that at the end of this film, Edward doesn't ask Bella to marry him and then become a vampire instead he offers and ultimatum” I haven’t heard that rumor, so I mean, I don’t know--

Janna: Yeah, I haven’t heard that.

Isabel: I haven’t heard that rumor, either.

Joy: But I would be really surprised. That’s such an important thing.

Janna: And that’s a huge part of breaking dawn, too. If, you know, they go into breaking dawn, how are they gonna have a wedding and a honeymoon if there’s no proposal?

Joy: Yeah, so I’m thinking what ultimatum would he offer?

Isabel: It just seems a bit silly.

Joy: Yeah, I wouldn’t put too much stock in that rumor. I haven’t heard it through any like, you know, viable sources

[Laughter]

Janna: Yeah. Actually, I haven’t heard that at all. The only way that they would maybe--like if that was something that they were trying to do--maybe they’re just trying to work out ways to have like, eclipse flow into breaking dawn to like, maybe ease the difficulty of making breaking dawn a movie

[Laughter]

Janna: I don’t know, cuz I don’t know how they’re gonna do that, but I highly doubt it, though.

Joy: Yeah, I would be very surprised if they did, and I think a lot of people would be upset.

Janna: Cuz they’ve done such a good job to sticking to the integrity of the book, for the most part.

Joy: Oh yeah, definitely.

Janna: I don’t think that they would take a big leap away from that one.

Joy: No. Well, I’m really excited about New Moon and Eclipse, I think they’re gonna be even better than Twilight and I liked Twilight even if you guys didn’t, and I’m even more excited about these two, I think they look so much better.

Isabel: It’s not that I didn’t like it, it was just so easy to make fun of--

Joy: Oh, that’s true.

Isabel: Alright, so let’s hop into the Soapbox, it’s gonna be an exciting one this week, we’re talking about this--

[Laughter]

Isabel: This thing.

Janna: Exciting and mature.

[Laughter]

Isabel: I think our rating is definitely going to go up.

Janna: It’s a very stimulating Soapbox these days.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Yes, yes.

Joy: Oh gosh.

Isabel: Our--what do you call it? Our iTunes rating will go up, for sure, with this one.

Joy: Yeah it will.

Isabel: So basically what we’re talking about, is this new sex toy out; it’s basically a sparkly dildo. That’s what it is.

[Laughter]

Isabel: And it’s pretty big--

Janna: Just throwing that out there.

Isabel: It’s kinda white--

[Laughter]

Isabel: And it’s--

Joy: It sparkles!

Isabel: It sparkles! It’s supposed to be Edward’s peen, obviously.

[Laughter]

Janna: Obviously.

Isabel: I—so, there’s a couple of issues with this. They’re not--obviously not targeted towards the general Twilight audience; there’s been some--a bit of backlash, people saying it’s really weird, and obviously Stephenie Meyer would not approve of this, but I personally think this is more tongue-in-cheek. I think it’s a big joke. I think that it’s--I don’t know, I like it--

[Laughter]

Isabel: I think it’s funny. Anyone else have any opinions on this?

[Laughter]

Janna: I just wanna throw it out there that the--the ‘hot or cold’ setting--

[Laughter]

Janna: --Throw it in the fridge to get the full effect--I think that is one of the creepiest and most awesome things I’ve ever heard.

[Laughter]

Janna: I mean, whoever came up with this is a marketing genius. I mean, come on, that’s gonna sell. I don’t care how many people think it’s creepy. There’s gonna be that many freaks out there that totally want vampire sex.

Joy: You know it.

Isabel: Yeah, and who’re gonna cut a hole in their Edward cardboard cut-out and stick it through--

[Laughter]

Isabel: And you know that that’s just gonna happen cuz there’s some really big weirdoes out there. I’m not saying weirdo in a judgmental way, I mean--

Janna: It’ll probably end up on YouTube. I bet there’s probably something on YouTube. I dunno.

Isabel: So, we like our laughs here on Pattinson Online, and we’re not here to offend anyone, so if this offends you, we’re really sorry. We like to take everything as a joke and we just think this is funny. I don’t think it should cause any sort of drama, whatsoever.

Janna: No. and we’re not advocating marketing dildos or sex toys to twelve year olds or the younger Twilight audience. We’re just saying: A good chunk of the Twilight fandom is adult women--

[Laughter]

Janna: And this is funny.

Isabel: This is just funny. And you know what? It’s not even like objectifying Rob because Rob’s penis isn’t sparkly, this is totally just a fictional character thing.

[Laughter]

Isabel: I mean, not that I know of--I mean, how do I know?

Janna: If by chance the makers of this toy get our PattyCast into their hands, somehow, some way--

Isabel: Send us one.

[Laughter]

Janna: Send us some.

Joy: My mother is gonna hear this.

Janna: You know how people take like little, you know, Edward heads or like their friends heads on sticks and they take them around everywhere and take pictures?

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh my God.

Isabel: Oh my God--

Janna: I’ll take my Twilight dildo.

Isabel: You’re gonna take the sparkly dildo.

[Laughter]

Janna: I’ll take it down to Los Angeles, and--

Isabel: No, Janna you have to take it with you when you come visit me! We’ll go to the Twilight set with it.

Janna: Oh my God. Can we please?

[Laughter]

Isabel: Yes.

Janna: “Can you sign my dildo?”

[Laughter]

Janna: Okay, how do you think he would react to that? Do you think he would die laughing, or--

Joy: I think it would probably freak him out.

Isabel: I think he would die laughing. I think it’s both.

Joy: He’d be like, “What the hell?”

Isabel: “Where did you get this?”

[Laughter]

Isabel: “Why does it look anatomically correct?”

[Laughter]

Janna: “It doesn’t look anything like me!”

[Laughter]

Janna: (With imitation British accent) “Mine’s much bigger.”

[Laughter]

Joy: Oh, gosh. Well, the fact that this thing--

Isabel: They had to size it down.

Joy: --is called ‘The Vamp,’ that’s actually what it’s called. Isn’t that hysterical? Oh my gosh.

Janna: The Vamp?

[Laughter]

Joy: Okay, but the thing is is that it’s not actually Summit that’s marketing this--like Summit has the rights to all the merchandise and everything, but they’re not--like, this--

[Laughter]

Joy: This product is--

[Laughter]

Isabel: Obviously not Summit-approved.

Joy: Yeah. It’s not Summit-approved, so I don’t want people to think, “What is Summit doing?”

Janna: This dildo is not Summit approved.

Joy: Like it’s some outside company who, this is their job, this is what they make, and--

[Laughter]

Isabel: Dildos.

[Laughter]

Joy: Exactly. It’s an adult entertainment...thing.

Janna: Toy.

Joy: But they’re not even actually using like, the word, ‘Twilight,’ as far as I can tell. Like, okay, I’ll be honest--I have not actually looked at their website because I’m like, “I really don’t wanna know what else that they have there.” So, I’ve only been looking at second-hand articles--

[Laughter]

Isabel: I’ve been to the actual website.

Joy: Their ad for it says stuff like, “Don’t let this Eclipse pass into the Breaking Dawn.”

[Laughter]

Janna: What the hell?

Joy: But they’re not actually marketing it as like a Twilight product. They can’t because of legal reasons. But I mean, hello. Obviously if it sparkles--I mean, what other vampires sparkle? Please. It’s just like, oh my gosh.

Isabel: Um, not very many other vampires, to be quite honest.

[Laughter]

Janna: Hey. Maybe it’s not Edward. Maybe it’s Carlisle.

Isabel: Who knows.

Janna: Whatever your preference.

Joy: It could be Jasper.

Isabel: It could be Jasper. It could be Emmett guys, it’s big.

[Laughter]

Janna: It’s not wide.

Isabel: What’d you say?

Janna: Did I just say that? I said, “It’s not wide.”

Isabel: No, it’s not.

Janna: It needs to be a little bit more girthy--

Joy: Oh my gosh you guys.

Isabel: It’s actually quite long, though.

Joy: Anyway. Oh, you know Stephenie Meyer would be like, “What?!”

Janna: You know she laughed though.

Isabel: There’s a video. An actual video on tantusinc.com and that’s where it’s from. No, there’s a video and I’m watching it right now, and I wanna see if--yeah, it’s 34 seconds long. I wanna see what it looks like, in action.

[Laughter]

Isabel: I mean, I’m sure they don’t use it in action, but--

Joy: Oh my god. Porn on the PattyCast.

Janna: Let’s do commentary. Let’s do commentary!

Isabel: It sparkles. It actually sparkles. It’s in the sun, and it looks like it’s been Hot Topic-glittered all over the place.

Joy: Maybe they did buy Hot Topic glitter.

Janna: What is that?

Isabel: It’s got weird music in the background. It’s supposed to be scary, I dunno. Go look at it. It’s not--I thought it was bigger than it really is. OKAY. It’s time to move on, whatever you’ve heard here, guys, very tongue-in-cheek.

Joy: What happens on the PattyCast stays on the PattyCast.

Isabel: Exactly. Okay. Listener e-mails. We start with Lisa. “Maybe on the next PattyCast you can talk about the avalanche of vampire shows & movies right now?” I noticed that, too, but I think that it’s been pretty steady. Like, there’s been an interest in vampires for a long time.

Janna: I think it’s honestly Hollywood capitalism at its best. It’s sort of like the Soapbox that we just talked about; they’re seeing that something’s popular and there’s obviously going to be things kind of driven in the direction that they see tweens liking. I actually do have something to say about this one because--

[Laughter].J. Smith, the Vampire Diaries, the one that’s becoming a TV series? That, by the way, looks super lame,

Joy: I’m totally gonna watch it.

Janna: It was actually one of my favorites series when I was younger. Like, I totally had like the--I think they had one called the “Dark Circle.” And she just was awesome when I was a kid, and that’s actually one of the reasons why I finally caved and read Twilight because I was like, “Okay, well I had such a great experience when I was a kid reading that book, maybe I’ll have the same experience reading Twilight.” Which, you know, I didn’t.

[Laughter]

Janna: Obviously. But I just thought that was funny because it’s totally true, and now that’s becoming a TV series and I’m like, “Why are you ruining one of my childhood memories?”

[Laughter]

Janna: Because I saw the little trailer thing for it, and it looked so stupid.

Isabel: Well, it’s be-they’ve capitalized on it somewhat during--and I’m really glad there’s not remakes of Anne Rice’s vampire series cuz that’s my favorite of all that I’ve read of vampire stories. And I don’t want them to touch it, cuz they’re all very good. But yeah, it’s just--it’s big in Hollywood, like it still interests people and it’s something that’s huge now, so why not put out more things?

Joy: yeah, it kinda comes in cycles like, they’ve been making vampire films and television shows since they first started having the option to make film.

Isabel: Film, really. Esperantu was like one of the first black and whites.

Joy: Exactly, I mean, when Dracula first came out, in like, the 1930’s, I mean, so it’s not like a new thing, it’s just that with Twilight being so big right now it seems like they’re all kinda popping up outta the woodwork, you know?

Janna: Yeah, like Underworld? Underworld came way before Twilight.

Joy: Oh yeah, like Blade, and--

Isabel: And Underworld was great.

Joy: There’s always gonna be vampires.

Isabel: Have you seen Underworld: Rise of the Lichens? That’s good. Talk about Underworld vampires. I mean, you know, Underworld kicks Twilight’s ass.

[Laughter]

Janna: It does. It’s a very sexy movie.

Isabel: Ah, God. Kate Beckinsale, she even looks really good in that, I mean, right?

Janna: Yeah.

Joy: They look super cool. I think, yeah--like you’re saying--it’s just that more people are noticing it now. Like, it’s not a new thing, and of course there’s always gonna be people saying, “Oh, you’re trying to copy such and such!” And whatever, but I mean, this isn’t a new thing. It’s not like Stephanie Meyer was the first person to ever write about a vampire. It’s just that hers has become really popular and now all these other ones are popping up, so.

Isabel: But I think Hollywood’s cyclical anyway.

Joy: Oh totally, totally.

Isabel: Because look at--The Prestige came out at the same time The Illusionist came out. They’re basically the same.

Joy: Or like all of those disaster movies? Disaster movies kinda all come out at the same time, too. The world’s coming to an end, let’s make a movie.

Isabel: Yeah, it’s a bandwagon effect.

Joy: Yeah. The next e-mail is from Jennifer, she says: “.It sounds like you guys don't read the gossip magazine articles but I find it rather hard not to read the ridiculous headlines while I'm turning the magazine around. So my question is what's you're favorite ridiculous headline? Life & Style had a magazine come out a while back that said Rob and Kristen were heading off to romantic Italy together, which Janna should give a duh award for because I can't possibly think of a reason why they would go to Italy, it's not like they're filming a movie or anything *wink wink* Anyways, I was just curious to hear what your opinions are, keep up the great work and I can't wait for the next PattyCast!” Oh, there are so many to choose from!

Isabel: We laugh at them all the time.

Joy: I think probably my personal favorite most recently is the one where apparently Rob is engaged to someone that no one’s ever heard of.

[Laughter]

Joy: It’s great. He’s been engaged for a really long time, and not--

Isabel: He’s probably never heard of her, either.

Joy: Apparently he’s cheating on Kristen with this strange girl who he’s been engaged to for years, I mean, who knew?

[Laughter]

Joy: He’s been keeping her hidden under his bed or something, I don’t know.

Janna: Dating a mythical unicorn

[Laughter]

Isabel: Well, I have a magazine--this one is old, though--it’s one that Aaron bought me because he likes to buy me magazines with Rob on them.

[Laughter]

Joy: That’s cute.

Isabel: Yeah, this one says, “New Moon stars after Dark: Where They Go, Who They’re Dating, and Why the Movie will be better than the Book.”

Janna: Oh. My--

Joy: Yeah, right!

[Laughter]

Joy: Just that last statement alone is enough to make you wanna throw it away.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Exactly.

Joy: Come on.

Isabel: Yeah, that’s great.

Janna: I actually--I don’t really read the headlines. I shop at Trader Joes, so they don’t have tabloids. I only see tabloids when I go to the--

Isabel: And we’re not supposed to read tabloid headlines, anyway.

Janna: Bank

Isabel: Unless we’re turning them around, which apparently everyone is doing now.

Joy: It’s so awesome.

Isabel: We’ve gotten a lot of e-mails that said people are going to turn around like, tabloids and stuff, and they’ve already been turned around.

Janna: Alright, the next e-mail is from Natalie, she says, “I just saw this evening on Peter Facinelli s Twitter his comment on what his wife supposedely said to the New York Daily News, and I find that this totally goes along with the "stop-looking-at/taking-papparazzi-picture-and-stop-reading/writing-bullshit-about-him-and-all-his-fellow-stars" background message of the project FLANS (Sorry for the bad word.. sometimes only bad ones seem to fit with the subject). I completely agree, Natalie, I am with you. Sometimes you just need a good bomb in there. Anyway, she continues: “I hope that Mr Facinelli s comment will be spread around in order to have as much impact as the original "wrong" quote may/must have had. I also hope for the fans that they will think twice before buying and/or reading and believing all these gossip websites and newspapers and for all these "quotes-forgers" that this will at least make them think twice before writing nonsense about anyone.” It’s not clear, but Jenny Garth supposedly made a comment confirming that Rob and Kristen were dating, and it was totally taken out of context. It was complete bull-ish, as she said earlier.

Joy: Well, the comment--all that Jenny Garth said was, “Peter doesn’t tell me anything about filming.” Like, that was her quote, that Peter doesn’t tell her anything, because he can’t--like, there are certain things that he can’t share. So--and she doesn’t ask.

Isabel: And why would they wanna talk about it?

Joy: Yeah, like, what’s the point?

Isabel: Why would Jenny Garth wanna talk about Twilight?

Joy: Yeah, so the New York Daily News takes this quote and runs with it and says, “Ooh, Jenny Garth confirms that Rob and Kristen are dating,” and she was like, “No, I didn’t even say anything about that!” Like, she didn’t even mention Rob or Kristen, she just said that, “Peter doesn’t tell me what happens on set.” I mean, how did they get from point A to point B? Like, there’s no way there. And that’s what see was saying. Peter was pissed, too, like he called him out on his Twitter and all these things.

Janna: I agree with Joy. It’s classic word twisting at its best, and I mean, the frickin--the internet’s like a rampant game of telephone. Like, one person says something and by the time it gets around to like the eight millionth blog or website that repeats all of this crap it’s totally different. And Jenny Garth’s a classy lady, she’s been around for frickin’ ever. She would never have made such a rookie mistake.

Joy: Her point was that they’re just forging all this stuff and that hopefully people will think twice; which is what we’ve been saying all along, and so I’m glad that she’s with us on all that.

Isabel: Okay, next one’s from Lorie, and she says, “With all the rumors that are swirling around about Rob and Kristen supposedly dating, if it comes out that they are in deed an actual couple, do you think it would hurt or help the publicity of the Twilight movies? How do you think them being in a relationship with each other would affect their onscreen chemistry that they have together?”

Joy: The three of us--like, okay, we could care less if they’re actually dating, whatever, but there are people who are like, hell-bent on convincing us that “Oh my gosh! They are together!” We, A) don’t care, and B) It’s none of our business, so. Her point is, let’s say that in an alternate universe, they come out and say, “It is true, yes we are a couple.” How will that affect the publicity? I personally think that it’s already, whether it’s true or not, just the rumors themselves have already been pushing Twilight.

Isabel: Already generating buzz, yeah.

Janna: Yeah. I think the majority of people have already formed an opinion, so I don’t think it would help or hinder.

Isabel: I don’t think it’ll help or hinder the movie, exactly. And I don’t think it’ll affect their chemistry, either, I--like I already said, I don’t think they’ve got that much chemistry to begin with.

Janna: I think that people just want so badly for Edward and Bella to be, like, a real life couple, that that’s how all of the rumors really started taking effect and just kind of ran with it.

Joy: Oh, I agree.

Janna: And obviously they get along well--

Isabel: Yeah, they’re friends they feel comfortable together.

Janna: And they’re friends, and they hang out, like, they have--I don’t know. If they’re friends and their pictures are taken together, obviously, people are gonna run with it.

Joy: Of course. And you know if it ever really did come out that they actually were together, people would be e-mailing us being like, “I told you so! I told you so!” And we still don’t care either way. Like, if they are together, yay happy for them. If they’re not who cares? Well, okay, we don’t.

Isabel: Our stance still is: they’re not together.

[Laughter]

Joy: Yeah, that’s our official party line, is that they’re not together, but even if they were, you know, in that point-one percent chance, it’s none of our business. We really don’t care. We’re not gonna post anything about it. So that’s it. So stop trying to convince us!

[Laughter]

Janna: Yeah, they’re never going to admit it.

Joy: Yeah, if they’re smart they’ll never admit it, you know what I mean? Like, if it was actually true, they should not ever let anyone know.

[Laughter]

Isabel: I don’t think so. I think even if it won’t affect, I don’t think it’ll affect the publicity of the movie, but I think--we know the Twilight fandom is kind of volatile. It might spurn a lot of Hater Syndrome, too. But I dunno. Other than that, I don’t think--

Joy: Yeah, there’s enough people out there who hate Kristen just because she gets to act with Rob and kiss him in the movie. Like, if she was actually his girlfriend, imagine how much more hate she would be getting. And we joke about Kristen but I don’t think she deserves that, you know? Like even if she was dating him, or whoever she was dating, she doesn’t deserve hate mail because of her choices in her personal life. So, anyway, whatever that’s my little Soapbox.

Isabel: To be quite honest, I don’t dislike Kristen Stewart. I make fun of her because it’s easy to.

Janna: Yeah, because it’s easy to.

Joy: Well, we make fun of everybody, so it’s like, whatever.

Isabel: Yeah, exactly, it’s like a free-for-all.

Janna: Yeah, I’m an equal opportunity hater. I’ll talk crap about whoever I wanna talk crap about.

Joy: You guys talk crap about me all the time, I mean, whatever. Well speaking of talking crap, let’s look at the next e-mail cuz it kinda goes right along with it. DJ again e-mailed us and came up with an interesting question, she said: “I was wondering what you thought about celebrites who have previously "bashed" Rob in interviews. I am talking about Miley Cyrus in particular because she apologised. I like her but I think sometimes she gets ahead of herself, a while ago she said something about Rob I think she said "people aren't in love with Rob they're in love with Edward" I know its not a serious "bash" but do you think its partially jelousy thats causing people to talk ill about Rob? Do you think its because he became so huge overnight? Its not just celebrites that are negative about Rob, i've read numerous comments and talked to people who say that they are just sick of seeing Rob's photos in magazines. I've tried to explain to them that its not his fault at all, its not his fault that photos are being taken of him and are being published all over the internet and in magazines. What are Rob's management doing, surely its their job to claim the photos and videos that are embarrasing and disgraceful to watch.” Yeah, well. That’s another story.

Isabel: Yeah, that’s another story.

Joy: As far as celebrities who talk bad about Rob, I mean, I don’t really care.

Isabel: I haven’t ever seen any--

Janna: Jealousy.

Joy: Yeah, maybe it’s a little bit of jealousy, and she’s not the only person who’s mentioned it. Like when there was that whole thing with Stephen Moyer talking about how his vampire could kick Edward’s ass, people were like, “I can’t believe you would say that, ra ra ra!” And we said last time, “Who cares?” A) He’s talking about fictional vampires, but--

Isabel: And it can also be taken out of context.

Joy: Yeah, of course.

Janna: Yeah, that’s true.

Isabel: And I think it’s also just because he’s so popular. I think that’s why people--even normal people--are hating on Rob because he’s supposedly this heartthrob and we have to think that he didn’t ask for this.

Janna: Yeah, it’s not his fault.

Isabel: It’s part of his job, I mean, the publicity just comes hand in hand, I suppose.

Joy: Yeah, and sometimes it’s gonna be those stupid magazines, and you know--yeah, like she said, what is his management doing? But I mean, short of actually like suing these magazines, his management doesn’t really have that much power over these things that are being put in magazines, you know? Especially the tabloids.

Isabel: And can you imagine? They’d have to fight every little thing. The best stance for them is to just not even acknowledge it. That’s what most--

Janna: Well, because truthfully they can’t even sue, cuz it’s not technically slander or libel, it’s not--

Isabel: No, it’s completely freedom of speech; they can say that stuff if they want to.

Janna: Yeah.

Joy: You know as much as we hate it, the only way we can stop these things is by people not buying them, which is what we’ve been trying to encourage people to do. And someone e-mailed us a while ago saying—mentioning—that--I think it was Sienna Miller, the actress--had actually like, sued some tabloids, or something, and so now like, they actually are like, not allowed to print anything about her. I don’t know all the details but I mean that’s just like one magazine. I mean. I’ve seen her in tabloids before, so I mean, it’s obviously not working.

Isabel: Yeah, she’s everywhere. She’s all over the internet. That doesn’t stop everyone.

Joy: It’s not gonna stop everyone so, like, we can’t really blame Rob’s management for ignoring this kinda stuff, but I think she’s right about a lot of people are sick of seeing his face in magazines. Sometimes I’m sick of it, I’m like, you know, yeah, he’s like my favorite actor, but you know, does he need to be on every single frickin’ magazine, especially when all the magazines say the same exact things?

Janna: I think it would be great if there was like a slight, you know, maybe not backlash, but decrease in popularity would be fabulous for Rob.

Joy: For his sanity, yeah, seriously.

Isabel: Well it probably won’t happen anytime soon because of the movie coming out.

Joy: Well of course not.

Janna: Yeah, it’s just gonna get worse.

Isabel: But you said, too, that it was just one magazine, you know? it wasn’t like--they can’t censor all of the press all of the time, and what she probably did was she probably filed an injunction or something to shut them down, and that costs like $50,000 or something like that--just to process the paperwork. So imagine doing that to everyone who’s ever started a rumor. Just ignore it.

Joy: Yeah, plus I think a lot of hers revolved around like, scandal and stuff with Jude Law and all that--

Isabel: And her being naked--

Joy: Crap that she was going through--

Isabel: So that was really big.

Joy: So that was probably personally devastating for her, and like, I mean, you know, if that was her choice to go ahead and do that, that’s great, but yeah, she can’t do it to every single magazine. And as annoying as we find it, and I’m sure as invasive as Rob finds it, he’s not gonna take that money and that time to you know, file an injunction and do all this stuff just to get them to stop. Think about how many tabloids are out there, how many online gossip sites, and whatever, it’s kind of unreasonable. The only thing that we can do is just, you know, like what we’ve been doing with Project Flans and some other sites have been doing it, too. Just say, “Hey, stay away from that kind of stuff.” Take this kind of stand. But. Anyway. Little mini-soapbox for you.

Janna: Next e-mail we have is from Tess who asks, “which performance do you prefer Rob in either: Twilight; Little Ashes or How to Be? Personally I love in 'How to Be' when Rob puts his head in the cooler at Waitrose!” Waitrose?

Joy: That’s the grocery store.

Janna: At Waitrose! The grocery store.

[Laughter]

Isabel: The grocery store.

Joy: What? It is a grocery store!

Isabel: I prefer him in How to Be hands down, but that’s always been my favorite out of those three, anyway, and Little Ashes is just too smart for me, and--not too smart, I just don’t know that much about that period, and it’s a specific movie, I think, too.

Janna: Yeah.

Joy: I think they’re all so different, too.

Janna: I mean, he was amazing in it, but he was in turmoil. Like, I don’t like watching people in turmoil, especially Rob, who has like a quirky, fun kind of personality.

Isabel: Yeah, he’s just shy and sort of likes comedic roles, I think.

Janna: I think it was very telling in our commentary when we all noticed and commented that Rob smiled.

Isabel: Yeah.

Janna: And we were like,

[gasp] we miss him smiling! He smiled more in How to Be; he was more himself.

Joy: I mean, I really loved Little Ashes. I thought performance-wise he was brilliant. So as far as that goes, I think that may be his best performance, like, acting-wise, but I really prefer how to be because, like you said, it’s more Rob. It’s more of the quirky fun but still you know, a little bit of seriousness.

Isabel: He was still pretty tortured, still a bit sad.

Joy: Yeah, but between Twilight, Little Ashes, and How to Be, they’re all so different. There’s not a lot of commonality between those three movies, you know? They’re all such different plots, and, you know, feels for his movies. And I mean, we all know that I love Twilight but that’s not his best performance by a long shot. So.

[Laughter]

Joy: Yeah.

Janna: We’ll wait for New Moon.

Joy: We’ll wait for new moon and then I’ll say.

Isabel: Alright next, it’s my Tom Sturridge reference. I actually have a real Tom Sturridge reference this time, cuz I’m really excited about this. Tom’s stage debut--like, theater stage--is coming in September. He’s gonna be on stage from September 4th to September 11th in a play called ‘Punk Rock’. This play is about kind of a Columbine style shooting, and I guess it becomes more personal because you get to develop the storyline with these characters until one of the teens finally--I guess--is tipped over the edge and starts this classroom shooting. So it seems like a really controversial subject--or something that could be controversial. I think that’s all the serious stuff I have to say about it. He’s gonna be at the theater called the “Lyric Hammersmith” in London, and lyric.co.uk is where you can get tickets for ten pounds each. Guys you can see Tom Sturridge on stage for twenty bucks! Go watch it from September 4th to the 11th. The only thing that--

[Laughter]

Janna: Can we talk about--yeah?

Isabel: Yes. Let’s talk about Tom’s wardrobe real quick.

[Laughter]

Isabel: It looks to me, it looks to me--

Janna: What in the effity eff kind of madness is this?

Isabel: That he said, “Hey Rob, could I borrow a sweater, and maybe your beanie?” Cuz that’s exactly what it looks like.

Joy: With hearts, and flowers, on it, you guys.

Isabel: There are tulips!

Janna: Goose!

Joy: There IS a goose!

Isabel: There’s geese! There’s geese on grass at the bottom, exactly.

Joy: I mean, like everyone else in the picture is wearing like, normal-people clothes, and then there’s Tom with my grandmother’s sweater. What is up?

Isabel: Yeah, and Rob’s hat.

Joy: And Rob’s hat, he’s totally wearing the beanie.

Janna: You cannot rock a beanie and a modern chain, and have a sweater with geese on it. Like, what the friggin heck?

Joy: It’s like he’s trying to be ironic or something and it’s just not working.

[Laughter]

Isabel: You know what? It just looks like something he’d wear out anyway. They’re that eclectic when it comes to their clothing.

Janna: I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that he might possibly be the one that goes nuts--

[Laughter]

Joy: I was just gonna say that! Oh my gosh!

Janna: Because somebody came to school and made fun of his geese sweater! Oh this is bad, I should not talk shit--

Joy: Oh my gosh that’s horrible. We are not making fun of these sorts of things--

Isabel: No.

Joy: We’re just making fun of Tom and his sweater.

Isabel: Yes. Anyway--

Joy: I would love to see the play, though, it looks fantastic.

Isabel: I really would like to see this, and I’d like to see--this is his stage debut, guys, twenty bucks, go--whoever’s in London, go see it.

Joy: Do it, go everyone.

Isabel: But yeah I’m really excited for this. Anyway, so reminder for everyone, between September 4th and 10th, Tom’s gonna be onstage at the Lyric Hammersmith in London. You can buy tickets online. You can find all this information online, even, if you just Google it. The play is called ‘Punk Rock,’ and he is playing the part of William Carlisle. So that’s about it for my Tom Sturridge Reference of the Day. He still looks like a bum, and he’ll actually be onstage, is my wrap-up.

Joy: Maybe he’ll actually be wearing that sweater onstage.

Janna: Yeah.

Joy: That would be the best.

Isabel: Yeah, that would be the best.

Janna: Yeah, if anybody goes--

Joy: Please let us know.

Janna: Tell us how it is, and let us know if he wears the sweater.

Isabel: Yeah, I want some sort of review from anyone who goes to see this and maybe some--if anyone can get any photos from it.

Janna: Yes, we personally challenge you to find a goose photo.

Isabel: A goose photo. Anyone who sends us a goose photo will get a really awesome prize. We don’t know what it is yet, but it’ll be awesome.

Joy: Yes. So wait, is this a photo of a real goose or the goose on the sweater? We need to specify.

Isabel: The goose on the sweater!

Janna: Yeah, the goose on the sweater.

Joy: Yeah, don’t just send us random pictures of geese, we don’t want that.

Isabel: Yeah, that’s lame, that was so yesterday.

Janna: Cuz we have Google Images, too. Network news! This last month has been full of amazing accomplishments for all of your favorite English boys. Okay, let’s get into this, one of which was a huge milestone for everyone’s favorite Mad-Hatter, Marcus Foster. He embarked on his first US tour, went everywhere form New York, to Dallas, to LA, and he was amazing. The consensus of basically everyone I came across, or anyone that came to his shows, was that he was incredible. He has a great stage presence. To be honest, I’m a big fan of all music, and he has a stage presence that I rarely see in fledgling musicians, or even musicians that have been around forever. He just gets down, dude. It’s awesome. He’s a superb musician, a very nice guy, very chivalrous, and he did not step on my shoes, which makes him a total winner in my book.

[Laughter]

Janna: He was very careful not to step on me.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Cuz you’re so small.

[Laughter]

Janna: Anyway, he wrapped up his first US tour, he did amazing. It was pretty short, but word on the street is that he will be headed back to the Americas sooner than we think. He’s going to be back in--if he’s not already back in London, he will be in September and he will be doing a couple shows there, but watch for news about his shows. Other Marcus news is that if you weren’t able to see him live and pick up his merchandise, he’s just opened an official US store. The link I will put up on our website. I don’t know if I’ve done that already, to be honest, but it’s jsrdirect.com/web stores/marcusfoster and he’s got a variety of different t-shirts and stuff. He actually--one of his t-shirts features mini-photos of a sculpture that he did. It’s actually really cool.

Isabel: I want that shirt. It’s like--it’s all different colors. It’s like two people standing under an umbrella, it’s like really interesting looking.

Joy: Awesome.

Janna: It looks really weird. Onto a huge milestone for Sam Bradley, he has a few big ones happening in a couple of hours actually, one of which happens to be his birthday, so--

Joy: Happy birthday!

Janna: Let’s give Sam a big huge happy birthday.

Isabel: Happy birthday Sam.

Janna: From Sam Bradley Online and the PO network. Also in conjunction with his birthday, Sam’s brand new website, Sambradley.com, goes live at midnight tonight--or this morning, however you view your world, or whatever time it is where you’re listening--and those that purchased his EP on the drop-cards, the drop card key tags, at his live shows in Dallas or other various places that he was recently, you can now get your EP for download. So go check that out. I think right now they have a preview up on his website where you can put in your drop card code and there’s some sort of like, sneak peak at the videos and stuff that you get to download, but the EP and all the other stuff that comes along with the drop card purchase will be available tomorrow. So go check it out. I literally have nothing written about everyone’s favorite, Bobby Long. He is still on tour, he is wrapping up the last--I think he has about six or seven more dates in America, and then he goes back to London--

Isabel: Thank God.

Janna: No, to Europe, and he’s gonna go to various states in Europe. Then in October he will be doing recording on another album. And then he will be back in America again with Flipron. So, yeah.

Isabel: Alright, wrap-up time. So we debuted this week our first in our many upcoming commentaries for Rob’s movies. We started with Little Ashes. About 4,000 of you have downloaded it so far. We wanna hear feedback. We’ve gotten a little bit of feedback on it, but we wanna hear more. What did you like? And anything else cuz we plan on doing more commentaries for every single movie that Rob has out currently and the future ones. So again, let us know what you think.

Joy: Because they’re funny.

[Laughter]

Isabel: Yeah, they’re funny.

Joy: They made us laugh, I mean.

[Laughter]

Joy: Well, last wrap-up item: talking about contests. We’ve actually run a few contests lately that have gone really well. We had so much fun with the Twitter contest where we asked people to pound pattinsononline on their Twitters for 24 hours and we chose our favorites. So thanks to everyone who participated. We had so much fun going through all the entries cuz they were hilarious. It was hard for us to choose. We were originally only gonna choose one winner, but we ended up choosing five winners, because we just loved them so much. We do have a new contest for PattyCast listeners, and this is really for those who know us so well, okay? Because I’m giving away something very very special to me, that I think PattyCast listeners will appreciate. I’m giving away--are you ready? This is great. I am giving away the poster of Rob with the random picture of Jackson attached to it, okay?

[Laughter]

Joy: I have talked about this poster on the PattyCast before. So those of you who have listened to the PattyCast will know what I’m talking about.

Isabel: This is PattyCast memorabilia!

Joy: This is PattyCast memorabilia! So get ready, cuz I’m gonna tell you how you’re gonna get it.

[Laughter]

Joy: This poster is awesome; it is a randomly made poster that has lots of pictures of Rob and one of Jackson, it’s very amusing. So if you want to win this poster--

[Laughter]

Joy: You need to e-mail us: Admin.pattinsononline@gmail.com with the following information. You need to tell me who bought that poster for me, and where they found it.

Janna: Oooooh!

Joy: And if you can guess those two things correctly I will send you that poster. Doesn’t matter--you can live anywhere in the world. I’ll send it to you. It is awesome, I am parting with it because I just think it’s so special, and someone should deserve to have it. Also because I’m not allowed to hang up posters in my apartment so it’s just sitting in my closet right now, and I figure someone could put this to good use. This is a great poster, it’s absolutely hilarious. So.

Janna: Yes.

Joy: If you want it, you gotta e-mail with that information. First person to get it will win the poster.

Isabel: So we’re really excited about our new segment, and we’re not really sure what to call it yet, so for now it’s gonna be called: Take-Pictures-of-Shit-We-Want-You-to-Find. Right now, what we’re going to do first, is we’re going to tweet--all of us are going to tweet pictures of vampire log this week--and you have to find the pictures of vampire-log in our Twitpic, and you have to print it out and take a picture of yourself and vampire log with your country’s New Moon poster, and e-mail that to us. E-mail your entry at admin.pattinsononline@gmail.com. We’re going to put up a new section for all you PattyCast fans, and you can see pictures of everyone with vampire-log and fantastic places around the world, and we’re going to do something new every week, or every time we record, and it won’t be log every time that you have to take a picture of, but you guys get the gist of the activity. And it’s fun and interactive so, hope you enjoy it, and it’s supposedly gonna be really funny.

Janna: There might be prizes if you’re lucky.

Isabel: Yes. You know how we like prizes and giving things away. So, this should be something fun to do for all you PattyCast/Rob fans slash vampire-log fans. So everyone wins.

[Laughter]

Isabel: This one.

Janna: Because who isn’t a vampire-log fan? Vampire-log!

[Laughter]

Isabel: Alright, that is it for this week’s PattyCast! This is bye from Isabel.

Joy: And from Joy.

Janna: And from Janna. And from vampire-log.

Isabel: Bye!

[Laughter]

Joy: Bye.

[Outro]
