Twilight ruined Comic Con, so they get their own
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 4:37PM
I guess the fact that at least 50% of the costumes at Comic Con this year involved some sort of sign with "Twilight ruined Comic Con" hastily scrawled across it, coupled with thousands of fans of real movies unable to get decent seats in Hall H for any of the actually awesome panels due to screaming Twilight fans lining up nearly 36 hours beforehand, gave Summit the impression that they should just have their own conventions all over the place.
They've partnered up with Creation Entertainment to slap together basically what will be a big moving Hot Topic commercial so that thousands of girls have a place that they can feel ok about screaming at big pictures of the main characters. Because I say maybe they wrangle one of the main characters to actually play along with this idea. They'll probably have Bella's dad and the dude who is in Can't Hardly Wait. Everyone else is too busy being in other movies and filming the other 2 Twilight flicks.
I just can't support this. Really the whole scene just needs to go away. Instead of starting a convention, Summit needs to issue a memo to any teenage girls and Twilight moms (Why is there such a thing?) stating the following:
A. Robert Pattinson is not going to sleep with you, touch you, or even look at you. The more 'goods' you try to make him a la Twilight scrapbooks will only make him loathe you, his life, and the franchise even more than I'm sure he already does.
B. Kristin Stewart is socially retarded. If you see her in the street and try to talk to her, she will first look awkwardly down at her shoes and run her finger through her hair until she goes feral and tears the skin off your face to wear as a disguise.
C. And this is most important. The movie isn't really THAT good. It's passable as a film, but really guys? Come on.
D. Taylor Lautner is....well....alright you can scream at him. Dude is ripped, but he's probably not going to sleep with you either.
If Summit spent all of 10 bucks on someone to scribe a memo including these 4 points, the world would be a better place.
But since they haven't, keep an eye out for TwiCons starting August 28th in New Jersey. They will be coming to a city near you, and they will be destructive.
The Hoolywood Reporter has the scoop.
