Something scandalous this way comes...
EW apparently has a feature on Twilight in this week's issue (I haven't gotten mine yet), but I thought I'd post their cover photo below and then just watch the angry feedback roar. Take that, Edward the Vampire!

hairy powdered doughnut is right! Couldn't they have cast Neil???
That is totally NOT what I had imagined either one of them to look like. Sheesh! And all sexual like that too. *smacks hand to THEIR foreheads*
Ugh. I need to say it again. That is NOT Edward. He does not even come close to the drop-dead-georgous man she describes in the book. That cover angers me.
Hair powdered doughnut... I agree!!!! Ugh! He should just stick with the Harry Potter movies. And how much makeup do that have on the girl... she looks nothing like the trailer I saw.
Not to be picky but it caught my attention... what is with his belt?
Anyway, I hope you don't mind me leaving a comment on your site Justin. Remember me, Kellie (Sorenson) Thompson? It is fun to read your commentary!
So So So sad. Is this really the best they could do? I would rather have had someone who was good looking and a horrible actor play Edward. But this. I am questioning whether to even go see the movie. Is this a low budget film by any chance? If I was Stephanie Meyer, I would surely be disappointed.
First, let me say I am only writing now since I'm having trouble getting to sleep tonight... I don't normally stay up this late, but it seems this particular blog has turned me into a vampire...
Second, Justin is a rocking blogger and deserves like at least 500 comments per post. And I'm his sister in-law and he never hears from me unless he reads my blogger comments. haha j/k, Justin. But, not really.
The EW cover: In my opinion, this cover is only the result of an unexplored Twilighter and another dramatized composition; that's the media for ya! You see, it's all just the media's evil, secret ways... they create pictures that suck in people's eyes... even when it's not very pretty.
If you are reading this, and you are in group A: You hate the cover. You pour scorn on it. You see hairy Edward in your mind and it makes you vomit in your mouth every time you do. You refuse to touch this issue.
Solution: Let's just pretend that whoever was in charge of the shoot has a fan-wife. He wants sweet revenge over that one fateful day when she harassed him to read the parts that instantly made him feel like a bad husband and regret his existence. We'll pretend that he insisted that makeup turn him into a Dracula counterpart.
-OR-
You are in group B. You loved the cover. You worshipped the cover. You offered to pay the cashier triple the cover price. You called all of your contacts and raved about it until they hung up on you. When you got home, you carefully ripped it off, threw the rest away, and tenderly taped it onto your bedroom wall. Solution: You need serious help, and fast! Maybe you can ride Edward's back to the therapist?
Here's what I imagine hearing at the photo session:
make-up artist:
"Eureka, we have it! Now you LOOK like the vampire that I had always pictured, since my childhood!
...No, you don't need to shave anything... I don't CARE about Edward's hairlessness! MY vision is that you are MY Dracula! Now, go!"
photographer:
"You, there! Dracula! Whoever you are! Make anger to the camera! No, that's too much- Ok. Good! Yes, hold it right there- and you! Girl! Look like you are helpless- no, no, be sexy! I need sexy!"
Perhaps their vision was to depict the way the old movies used to portray vampires. I think EW gave consumers exactly what they assumed would sell; How many Twilight fans out there will buy a copy of this one issue of EW just because of the cover? I'm sure it's gotten lots of attention. LOTS. These actors should feel very fortunate to get this kind of break; they've really only become recognizable now, thanks to Edward and Bella. I don't think half the Twilight fans would even notice or appreciate this cover without all the makeup and drama... would you? But, let's face it- ultimately the world would cease to turn unless we have both the A's, and the B's to keep it going.
Apart from reading biased reviews and scrutinizing magazine covers, allow me to recommend watching the 3 interesting interviews with Stephanie Meyer. Included are HER very own wise thoughts on Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn- I mean, she IS the creator, people!
Visit www.amazon.com and search Twilight for a fan-taste-ic escapade.
Lastly, if you are a female reading this and you are a TRUE Twilight fan, then it will not matter in the least WHO got to be Edward, (I read that Stephanie was very pleased with the chosen cast- including Ed)! We all know that we'll each carry our own hunk of imaginative Edward somewhere inside our minds, despite the media's take.
Oh, and to all you husbands with fan-wives, just know that it is YOU we ultimately love and adore, honor, dream about, etc. We mean you no harm- we really only read the books for educational purposes. :)
In conclusion, I must thank Stephanie Meyer for conjuring such an incredible story. (And it all started with a dream she had)! Oh, and also for prohibiting Twilight to include illustrations, lest we all be doomed to the same vision of Edward forever etched into our memories!
That picture is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!
I don't really mind the picture. I think Bella actually looks pretty for once.
Erica-- you are hilarious! I'm in group A btw. katie, I agree that Bella is cute, but what the heck happened to Edward.
I may receive hate mail, but this picture only solidifies me as a Jacob fan.:)
I should elaborate just in case people really do send hate mail to Jacob fans. It's not that I don't like Edward or even that I'm rooting for Bella to end up with Jacob (because let's be realistic...) but honestly I wish she would have chosen a life of warmth and well, Life...over a cold undead life. Call me crazy.
