Happy Halloween! Again!
A band of trick-or-treaters just came to our door and sang my mother a song about pulling down her underwear. SOMEHOW, THEY ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.
("What was that about my underwear...?" "When I was a kid, it was something about smelling your feet." "Oh...?")

Stan Lee's Acting Talents Finally Put To Good Use with Poe's "The Raven." Actually, I kind of wanted to post a reading of "Annabel Lee" in the last entry with the short-short stories--I've read it in public before, although I guess me reading it does put sort of an unexpected sapphic overtone on it ("I Buried a Girl and I Liked It"?)--but for some reason, I just could not get my mouth around the word sepulchre today. I can give you Christopher Walken's reading of "The Raven" instead, however.

Twilight (yes, there's a lot of it, WHATEVER): I re-uploaded the Rome clips; Better-quality Rome footage on YouTube for now, from bella_stella78 ( plus a transcript). The thing I still find the funniest about the Rome footage is that Bella arrives at the house (okay, maybe the funniest thing is Edward speed-mo-ing over to open the car door for her), and the Cullens are just cheerfully cooking dinner for her. I mean... what? I would rather just not do dinner at all than try to have it with a bunch of vampires who can't eat staring at me. "You look THAT LOOKS delicious." AND THEN IT TURNS OUT SHE ALREADY ATE.
(Let us not even speak of the flying-squirreling. There was better wire work in Hamlet 2, y'all.)
(Defamer: Leaked 'Twilight' Footage Nearly Drowned Out By Italian Shrieks of 'OMG!' "We'd pegged this movie as 'The Dark Knight' for girls, but even Bat-mania was never this loud.")
Who's Buying 'Twilight' Tickets? ("Personally, I am more interested in seeing how Twilight does at the box-office than who gets nominated for the Oscars this year. It's obvious it's going to be big, but impossible to tell just how big"); Twilight cast in Rome and Madrid - Videos; Pattinson and Stewart photoshoot taken in Rome (okay, Kristen Stewart needs a little sleep herself); 'Twilight': New Jacob pics; Show Us Your ‘Twilight’ Halloween Costumes!; STAND BACK, THE TOUR OF TERROR DATES HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED.
