AHHHHHHHHH, NEW NEW MOON TRAILER! CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER!

Here's the new New Moon trailer that premiered during the MTV Video Music Awards last night, you guys:

Ha! So many teenagers were probably taken to the hospital last night when their hearts exploded. I will admit that this looks much better than the previous trailers had suggested. At the very least there is a lot less crying on the floor of a forest, and almost no reference to the epic papercut fight of 2009. But Bella's "adrenaline junkie" plotline reminds me of when Ryan on The O.C. became a cage fighter, except without the awesome cage fighting. What I'm saying is Bella should become a cage fighter. Then she will see Edward. Or whatever. I have no idea what half of the words I'm saying mean. But I also love that when you go to vampire court, which we all know is in a junkyard, the laws are enforced via hand-to-hand-combat. Classic Vampire Tort Reform. Dakota Fanning is Vampire Judge Judy. "This will probably hurt a little bit." I didn't think vampires had feelings? "They'll kill him if he reveals himself in the sunlight." I didn't think vampires could go in the sunlight? Never mind. EDWARD, NO, YOU MUST PUT YOUR SHIRT BACK ON OR DAKOTA FANNING WILL MAGIC-BODY SLAM YOU!! Having your shirt off is the most serious Vampire Crime, duh, grandpa.

This confusion and frustration and sense of being completely outside of something must have been what my parents felt like when I was excited about the forthcoming second chapter in the Bill and Ted saga, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

If he takes off his shirt, he will sparkle. And there's no greater sin in the world than natural body sparkle. Whoops, what I meant to say is what?!?!?!

I, too, started to see robert pattinson during my dangerous feats of sporting prowess. I saw him everywhere: at the go-cart track. in the above ground pool. on the mall walking path.
But there weren't any aquiline-nosed, shirtless wolf men to warn and comfort me.
So, that's when i started huffing.

Teenagers killing themselves over ill-fated love. I think Shakespeare wrote something like that. But he never wrote anything like this: "He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare."
Or this: "He was both dazzling and dazzled."
Actual lines from the Twilight books.

If only Shakespeare had lived longer, maybe he could have achieved this level of brilliance.

Another good quote from the Twilight books is when Meyer pens homage to Shakespeare by taking up 10 pages of Bella saying "good night. good night. good night. good night. good night..." I think she says it a thousand times.


Good filler.

I didn't realize that every single fucking guy in the twilight world is completely ripped and is always shirtless.

Didn't they actually force that kid who plays the werewolf to get jacked or else he was out of a job? What kind of horse shit is that?

in the TWILIGHT WORLD vampires can go in the sun, they just ~sparkle~ and ~dazzle~ you with their vampire-skin (aka: look extremely sweaty).

Also, let's discuss Robert Pattinson's painted-on abs and how he looks like a war victim in this trailer. I mean, OMG OMG OMG HE'S SO DREAMY!!!!!

What is the vampire-killing MLA format? I mean, it is brutal, with its minute attention to detail, but I didn't think it was deadly.

I really enjoy Gabe's Twilight rants.
Mostly because he loves Twilight.
Like, he hits things kind of exactly on the head, pop culturally speaking (OC Cage fighting!), and then ends it with "WHATEVER I'M 112, I DON'T KNOW" like that throws us off his scent. (Dear Gabe, Sorry I'm talking about you like you're not here. But your Alzheimer's probably keeps you from caring.)

The sad thing is that conversations with my bosses' teenage daughter confirm that teens think the Twilight movies are not awful enough. They should be more like the books! Whereas when I saw the first one I couldn't believe that they had essentially taken out all the very stupidest stuff and were still left with a very stupid movie.

At first I thought it was ridiculous for Bella to be an adrenaline junkie and do zany things like ride her moped off the side of the road for no reason, but then I realized in this trailer that she can SEE Edward when she does that zany stuff. And instantly I related to her struggle. And like instantly I was like, "So smart."

These trailers are giving me PTSD flashbacks to being 15 and...writhing around/ screaming in bed like a mental patient. Jesus girl, do not scream in bed like that! Your mom is downstairs watching JAY LENO and you just gave her like seven heart attacks!

I miss being 15.

Oh Em Gee. Man, if only Twilight was REAL! I really want it to be REAL LIFE!

No, no – I mean this in the sense that approximately 35 million tweenagers would need to be killed by Dakota Fanning according to Vampire Law for knowing too much. Fact.

Are you sure you're wrong about the cage fighting? Because the last half of that trailer was just people taking turns body slamming each other.
