The new trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse just hit the internet this morning and fans all over the world are collectively flipping out about it as usual. But there is one fan whose reaction I actually took time out of my day to watch on Youtube, as I have in previous years: Emma Clark, AKA nuttymadam. Hit the jump to see her reaction to watching the Eclipse trailer several times, and for some thoughts on what her rise on the internet represents.
Clark’s videos have been viewed millions of times. Frequently, they just feature her speaking excitedly into what appears to be a low-res webcam. The sound quality is bad and her volume level causes distortion in the audio output, most likely due to a low-quality microphone.
Initially what drew me to these videos was the bizarre juxtaposition between the low-quality of the Twilight films/books, and the intensity of her completely unironic fan reaction to them. Clark is uninhibited in her love for these films, to the point when I literally questioned her mental stability. She squeals with delight, screams at the camera, revels in peals of laughter and joy. The viewing experience can often be unpleasant.
But as time went on, I realized that these videos encapsulated so much of our internet culture, and should be lauded/studied as such. I’m sure many watch these videos to gawk, point, and stare. Clark’s Youtube pages are loaded with reams of abuse, many people calling her a “fatass” and “embarrassing,” ridiculing her physical appearance and heaping insults on her for her love of the Twilight franchise. Yet still, Clark has not been scared off from continuing to put herself out there.
As someone who produces a weekly podcast, I know the perils of putting yourself out there on a regular basis. People, writing as though they know you, have no compunctions about tearing into you. They call you names and declare that they hate you, that you’re worthless (and all just because you like to talk about movies and record it for a short time each week, no less). Conversely, the rewards of sharing yourself with the world can often be short-lived and insubstantial. So, to me, there’s something fearless about Clark’s ability and desire to continue making these videos. She has a deep and abiding love for the series, and it seems to me that spreading that love to her fellow Twilight fans is ultimately what’s more important to her than anything else.
More compelling than any of that, though, is the fact that there’s an undeniable purity about Clark’s love for the films. For those of us who’ve been talking and writing about movies for years, it’s so hard to get excited about any upcoming property in a meaningful way. For me, it’s a rare occurrence, and I cherish it when it happens (recent example for me: Sitting in a theater, waiting for a screening of Matthew Vaughn’s Kick Ass to start). But through Clark’s videos, I’m able to regularly and vicariously experience that excitement, even if it’s for a series of films that I despise.
Thus, the phenomenon of Clark and her videos hold, in synecdoche, everything significant about internet culture: The vast sea of anonymous haters, the possibility of underground celebrity for anyone with a camera and a laptop, the community of fans that coalesce around certain properties, and the power of movies and fictional characters to transport us to magical places, and to stir in our hearts an excitement that the monotony of daily life just can’t muster.
There’s something amazing about all that. That’s why, even though I may tease, I can’t bring myself to be a hater. Quite the contrary: Clark’s videos reminds me why I started writing/talking about movies in the first place. And we all need that, every once in awhile.
It’s a teaser for a trailer! The real trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be online tomorrow in advance of the theatrical premiere Friday, where it will be attached to the Robert Pattinson film Remember Me. In the meantime, you can now see ten seconds from Eclipse. Here we get a truncated bit of dialogue that sets up, or more properly reiterates, the core conflict at the heart of this romance: does mopey Bella (Kristen Stewart) choose Edward (Pattinson) or Jacob (Taylor Lautner)? Sadly, we don’t get much sense for how new director David Slade will treat the material. Here, it looks like a midpoint between the previous two Twilight films.
But the real reason I’m posting this is that I can’t get over the bit of dialogue from Jacob. “I’m going to fight for you…until your heart stops beating.” Is there any creepier profession of dedication than that? (OK, obviously there is, but in this context I’m still loving Jacob’s line.)
Check out the clip after the break. We’ll have the full trailer tomorrow.
From day one David Slade seemed like an odd choice to direct a film in the Twilight franchise - and not least because of his controversial comments damning the first installment. With Eclipse, however, it seemed maybe like Summit were going for a slightly harder-edged feel by choosing him, and it even gave some undecided floating voters a tiny bit of confidence that this next film in the series would have broader appeal than the first two - films which were, let’s be honest, quite squarely targeted at certain easily defined demographics.
Entertainment Weekly now bring news that Slade’s choice of editor and regular collaborator Art Jones has been replaced on the project by Nancy Richardson, editor of the original Catherine Hardwicke movie. The studio said that they were not “blaming” Jones but that the film needed a “stronger” edit. Hmmm. The comments on this one pretty much write themselves - and that ‘Art’ has been replaced by ‘Nancy’ just adds to the comedy potential.
Worth 1000 is famous for their photoshop contests. Their latest, Mate a Movie 15, asks graphic artists to take two or more movies, and combine them to make one much funnier movie. I’ve included some of my favorites after the jump, most of which have some play on Avatar.

For years, guys in high school have barely wondered what the source is to the mysterious glitter found on their clothes for days and months after vacating a girl’s bedroom. Has Etsy finally let the immortal, sparkling, man-shaped, phallic-necked, vampire pillow out of the bag?
This week, photos of $35 Twilight-themed ”manllows” like the nightmarish one above—the Robert “Pasty” Pattison model—made the leap from an Etsy shop to Tumblr, causing the latter site to become more difficult to tolerate. After the jump, we have a deeper look at this troubling trend of male objectification for the sake of fem-geek bedtime fantasy. This just in: the first documentation of a Twilighter manillow sandwich…
“Never mind, I found a bookmark. Two of them. Ha.”
Here is the official item description for the Taylor Lautner manllow…
For all the twilight [sic] crazed lonely women in the world, Jacob Black is finally here to be with you and only you. Sleep with him, cuddle with him, use him as a neck rest, the Jacob Manllow is there to be your man and pillow all in one. Don’t worry, in the Manllow world, all men are of age.
What is creepier? The sentence highlighted above or the fact that “manllow” is so close to “Manilow, Barry”?
Or simply knowing that these manllows are currently sold-out?
“Last weekend, my manllow and I made Valentine’s Day number one. Wouldn’t it be great if Hollywood decided to make movies titled and themed after every holiday now? Wait, they are?! Fun!”
Question: In your opinion, does the manllow affect Lautner’s chances of becoming the next Hollywood action star?
At first glance it appears that Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, the screenwriting/directing team credited with ruining the spoof movie genre (Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, Epic Movie, Scary Movie series, Date Movie) have run out of material in the Hollywood genre world and are now going to take aim at the Los Angeles independent scene with a new movie titled LA Art Movie. Ugh. Chris Gore already beat them to it with My Big Fat Independent Movie in 2005.
No information is known about the plot, but chances are there isn’t much of one (I’m only half-joking). I’m guessing that the film will probably take on Swingers and… ummm… Is the LA indie film really topical enough to spoof?I’ve heard that the film might actually be a cover for a spoof feature film taking on the popular teen vampire series Twilight, which would make a lot more sense.
New Regency will be producing with Peter Safran’s Safran Company (Buried, Over Her Dead Body). Production is set to begin on March 22nd 2010 in Shreveport, LA.
I found this casting call on Craigslist, posted in January, but it doesn’t provide many clues:
- AMBER - 18-22, beautiful and sensitive, must have a flair for comedy..LEAD
- PHILIP - 18-24, darkly attractive, aristocratic adn intense, must have a flair for comedy..LEAD
- MICHAEL - 18-22, working class, sincere and appealing, must have a flair for comedy…LEAD
- FRANK - 40-50, Amber’s dad, good looking
Anyone have any more information on this project?
I’ve got to say, perhaps the best thing about Summit’s relentless commitment to making Twilight films is that the whole process is going to rush us towards an adaptation of the utterly crazy finale Breaking Dawn in record time. That means two things. One, we’ll get to see the utterly crazy Breaking Dawn on screen, and that’ll hopefully be good for some fun. And two, the whole thing will be over quick; no drawing it out like Warner Bros. did with Harry Potter.
Summit is currently looking at a fall shoot for Breaking Dawn, and while producer Wyck Godfrey doesn’t know if the book will spawn one film or two, he does have some other notes about what we can expect.
The LA Times has an interview with Godfrey, in which he discusses some of the hurdles facing Summit with respect to Breaking Dawn. He notes that all three principal actors (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner) are signed for the film, and that Melissa Rosenberg is currently working on the script. Whether it will end up as one film or two is a point on which he’s coy, but rest assured that if they can finagle two films out of it (star schedules and paydays included) it will be done.
The most interesting mention in the article concerns Christ Weitz, director of New Moon. “I think everyone would be happy and excited if he came back,” Godfrey says, “but I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
Given that Breaking Dawn is going to be the most effects-heavy film in the series, I think immediately of the tepid reception to Weitz’s biggest CGI-laden film, The Golden Compass. Have to wonder if Summit realizes that to have Breaking Dawn’s vampire baby Renesmee, which will be a CGI baby at one point, be anything but laughable they’re going to need a hell of an effects department. But that being the case, why not just hire a hell of an effects department and let Weitz have his way with shirtless werewolves? Or is the process just more than he wants to deal with?
Meanwhile, a CGI baby? Seriously? “I keep having visions of ‘[The Curious Case of] Benjamin Button’ in my head,” says Godfrey, before adding that Renesmee will almost certainly be an actor blended or affected with CGI. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being a full CG creation, but it also may be a human shot on a soundstage that then is used to shrink down.” This movie is going to be so much (unintentional) fun.

IMAX and Summit are joining forces to bring you all the shirtless vampire and werewolf action your eyeballs can handle in the third Twilight movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The third movie in the Twilight series will be remastered using the IMAX Digital Re-mastering system. Since the announcement that 30 Days of Night director David Slade will be behind the lens, writers and fans have been wondering if Eclipse will offer more action and bloody bits to draw a more male audience, especially since Eclipse features a full-on battle between Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard who took over the part after Rachelle Lefevre parted ways with the series) and her vampy army versus the Cullens and the werewolves.In fact, Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, told MTV that Slade is "a little more focused on it being real and maybe it being gorier and a little dark and kind of dramatic... The first one was very focused on this love story and really sweet and it was beautiful, but it didn't have a lot of stuff that guys would go, 'Yeah, I want to go see that,'... There's going to be a lot more focus on [action], and the fight scene will have more emphasis on it. I definitely think it will be a little more guy-friendly."

Any pop culture writer today worth a scan online has a unique opinion on Chuck Klosterman. The renown American author and journalist made a name for himself in the aughts with witty, hyper-informed contributions as a former senior writer and columnist at SPIN. In 2003, he released a bestselling book of essays about “low culture” under the title, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, that dissected, exploded, and—in the case of Saved By the Bell—meta-ized topics ranging from internet porn to why there’s only “one important question a culturally significant film can still ask: What is reality?” To readers with an eye on the future, Klosterman signaled not only the arrival of an adored critic amongst hipsters, TV junkies, and geeks; he was the aware embodiment of the modern intellectual turned as voracious consumer of entertainment. And ever since many a beer has been consumed by writers arguing over or coveting this appointment.
Post-Cocoa Puffs, Klosterman’s bibliography has grown to include several works of non-fiction as well as last year’s Downtown Owl, a well-received debut novel benefiting from word-of-mouth, not unlike how Puffs did (but with Tweets on top). His latest book, Eating the Dinosaur, is a characteristic essay collection that can be burned through in a night but also raises several troubling philosophical questions. In the first part of Klosterman’s interview with /Film, he elaborates on the role feted director Errol Morris played in a few of Dinosaur’s themes. We also discuss his opinion of movie junkets, the accelerated culture of movie blogs, and the film most comparable to Guns N’ Roses‘ Chinese Democracy.
Hunter Stephenson: Hi Chuck. So, are you in California to speak about the book?
Chuck Klosterman: I’m doing The Jim Rome Show on ESPN, and it’s in Huntington Beach, California. And I gotta say, it’s creepy as fuck out here man.
How’s that?
Chuck Klosterman: There’s all of this ocean fog. It’s just like The Lost Boys. It doesn’t seem like Los Angeles—not that Los Angeles is awesome—but it just seems like a very different place. You know? I feel like I’m at risk.
It’s like John Carpenter’s The Fog out there. Watch your back. The first question is an obvious one. You start off Eating the Dinosaur with an examination of why people do interviews and namely, why you do them. What made you consult Errol Morris on the topic and include his thoughts at start alongside yours? And what do you think Morris has contributed to film as far as truth?
Chuck Klosterman: Well, I kind of thought that Errol Morris’s film about Abu Ghraib really fit specifically into this idea, because Standard Operating Procedure, there is very often a bunch of people being interviewed who, as far as I can tell, have absolutely no logical, positive reason for talking about their involvement. You can say, “Well, they wanted to say what their side is,” but there is no way that anyone will watch those people and—while they may find them empathetic—it’s not going to excuse anything they do. All it’s going to do is further illustrate the reality of that situation.
And Morris has done a lot of work in his career like that—he had that show First Person on IFC about unfamous people who inevitably came across as really fascinating but really strange. I was also really curious why I was responding to questions when I was interviewed. And it sort of dawned on me that I had always interviewed people as a journalist because I was personally interested in what they were saying. It never occurred to me to think about what they were getting from the experience.
And then, when it started to happen to me when I was being interviewed, I realized that I still could not answer that question. So, I thought, well, I’m going to talk to people like Errol Morris and [This American Life's] Ira Glass, people who are already perceived by audiences as being experts at the interview process, and ask them what they think people are getting out of it. Morris seemed like an obvious person, and that interview was the only time I had really spoken to him in person. He’s a very difficult guy to find, [laughs] which might be different now, because he’s on Twitter. But at the time, it was a struggle.
Was Morris familiar with you and your work when you asked him to participate? Your name is pretty established, so I’m curious if that changes the dynamic.
Chuck Klosterman: I think he was familiar with me after I made the interview request. And then I think he researched me [laughs] until he basically knew everything about me. [laughs] I got the sense that his assistant knew who I was. A younger dude. When I interview somebody, sometimes I do wonder if they have read other interviews I’ve done. But you can’t ask that question, you can’t say, “Do you know who I am?” because if they do, it’s awkward and if they don’t, you look like a complete moron. [laughs] And there’s different kinds of fame. Being famous as a writer is not the same as being famous on a sitcom or being famous as somebody in a band. Visual fame is very different from written fame.
One aspect that I feel you didn’t bring up with the first chapter on the purpose of modern day interviews is: Do you not feel interviews are vital to cultural discourse, and even within the cycle of life, once you reach a certain level of experience and a certain age, should you not share the opinions and realizations you have reached?
Chuck Klosterman: That’s a good point, and I certainly would have agreed with you totally five or ten years ago. But, as I’ve now had both sides of that experience and look back at the work I’ve done as a journalist and what I’ve tried to do, and when I look back at how I come across when other people have written about me or talked about me—I started to get really nervous about whether the way people are portrayed in this process is remotely accurate.
I don’t expect it to be perfectly accurate, but sometimes I feel now that it might actually have the opposite effect of its intentions. So, I started wondering if there is this inherent problem with trying to illustrate the reality of someone through the interview process, is that ultimately bad for discourse? In other words, are we actually making people more confused about the art they consume? When I was interviewing, say, Bono or whatever, I was hoping that I would illustrate this guy in a way that would make people who listen to U2 records have a better or amplified experience with his art. Now, I wonder if it perpetuates the unreality.
You speak to [British culture journalist and biographer] Chris Heath in the book and he believes that celebrities who are required to do a lot of press begin to look at better interviews as an anecdote to express themselves. But do you feel the rise of so many press junkets, “round table” interviews, hundreds of “10-minute” phoners, and online media, does this somehow, even subconsciously, play into the unraveling of celebrity?
Chuck Klosterman: I don’t think it plays into the unraveling of celebrity, but I think it certainly increases the potential for minor celebrities to seem famous. You know, with the junket situation, I would say junkets are nothing but negative. And it is crazy. The thing is, to be totally honest, most of what I consider “real journalists” would not go to a junket. Sometimes you have no other choice, but junkets are mainly a way for people—I don’t want to say that they just want to meet John Travolta—but they’re not getting anything important out of it. These situations are more or less signifying that a person has enough access to meet someone who is famous. They are trying to create a degree of credibility. “What makes me different from someone off the street? Well, I can sit in the same room with Harrison Ford, and he answers my question directly, even if that question is completely meaningless.”
It was weird to me to sort of realize…I was doing a story on the second Strokes album for SPIN, I was doing a profile of the band for its release. And it became really obvious to me that The Strokes, every member of The Strokes, like, Albert Hammond Jr., [laughs] had conducted more interviews in their career than George Harrison did in the entire time he was in The Beatles. Because there is so much media now and so much of an understanding that part of what making music is—or making movies or television is—is that you conduct all of these little interviews as part of the marketing platform. And the content of the interviews doesn’t even matter, it’s just the act of doing them.
I could actually see how much and how negatively that had impacted that band. I think it really shortened the potential that The Strokes had. I think that they became so hyper-aware of how media was changing the meaning of their music and constantly constructing this specific perception of them, that they ended up having a very strange and—in some way—a mildly unsuccessful career. Even though they made one great record and a bunch of other really good songs, it already seems like they’re over. And I don’t think it’s their fault in any way. I think it was the way they were positioned by people who weren’t them.
But doesn’t that return us to my first question? I feel that all of these micro-interviews are beginning to “neutralize” celebrity through exhaustion, and personally, I feel like this coincides with the populism of the internet. I think maybe we subconsciously desire for this to happen. But you don’t agree with this?
Chuck Klosterman: Not celebrity, but I think it neutralizes “meaning.” I think if anything, it’s definitely expanded the definition of the word “celebrity” in itself. If you said someone was a celebrity in the 1950s, people had a clear idea of what you meant. Every aspect of a junket is promotional, and essentially advertising—and I’m even including the journalists who go on them. The people from the film are there to promote their movie regardless of what’s written about them or how it’s presented, just get these faces and these names across the media. The studio is flying the person out there and putting them up, which is guaranteeing that the coverage they get is like an advertisement.
How has the internet and online media changed or eradicated the notion of “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” not so much the game itself, but the idea of degrees of separation from a celebrity?
Chuck Klosterman: Yeah well, now the average person is probably fewer degrees from Kevin Bacon, because it’s so much easier to be a celebrity now and therefore it’s so much easier to know one. I was in New York, and I feel like pretty much everyone I know there, even if they are not conscious of it and especially if you start talking about reality television, they will realize that they know someone who was on a reality program. But those people are still viewed as a celebrity, but it’s a different kind of celebrity. But the potential to know someone famous now has really been amplified. Twitter is interesting in that way. I often wonder when I see these new technologies like Twitter, Tumblr, and before that, just straight up blogging, I wonder how I would have reacted if those things had come into prominence when I was younger. I was sort of on the cusp, but I’m kind of one of the last writers who was able to establish this type of position without using the internet in any way.
One of the sentences in your book that has really stayed with me in the days since is, “Reading about Animal Collective on the internet has replaced being alive.” What do you make of the phenomenon with movies, where people follow each jpeg and plot detail of a cool-looking movie, and yet, judging by the box office, many of these people don’t see the movie that is the source of this excitement, perhaps ever?
Chuck Klosterman: There is one clear upside to me, in that the internet has created new ways for people to enjoy things, and especially film. It used to be that you could only enjoy a film by going to a theater and watching it in a public setting. And then the VCR and DVD player made it so that you could see a movie in the theater or wait and see it at home. Or you could watch it multiple times at home. And, so, a movie like Mulholland Drive had more value because it was almost designed for someone to watch it a bunch of times. And now, the internet has brought this third level where you can enjoy a film outside of a film itself [laughs].
I know this group of women who are really into Twilight, both the books and the films. They think it’s terrible but they love it, they love talking about it. And when they email back and forth, if one of them says something surprising that gets everyone’s ire up, one of the girls will just send a picture of the Jasper character looking surprised. That is a very interesting way to use film. They have incorporated this film almost like a verbalized cog in their conversation. [Me: Right. A film still has become, like, the new smiley.] The person who the internet is bad for is the director who wants to be a director like Stanley Kubrick…but then again with Kubrick and Hitchcock and guys like that, their films lends themselves to being studied frame by frame [on the internet].
But the person it’s a burden for is the narrative filmmaker who wants to write films that only work when seen and heard in sequence, where there are elements of plot that are dependent on the audience not knowing what comes next. In terms of the film and television industry and the internet in this regard, what I really do not like are, of course, spoilers. If I don’t get to watch Lost on a Thursday night and I can’t watch it on Friday because I’m traveling, I feel like it’s a full time job avoiding spoilers.
With Avatar for example, the studio has made a big mistake by putting out the trailers and promoting it how they are, because they are building a consensus and perception that it looks more fake than when people had read about it. There was so much information out that it was going to blow peoples’ minds and it was going to be, like, the first time a non-human character was going to look photo-realistic, and now that the trailers are out and it doesn’t look real in that way, it’s going to affect how people experience the movie.
Even with the last Indiana Jones film or the Star Wars prequels, it’s pretty hard to have a static one-to-one relationship with any of these franchise films now. If you’re the kind of person who is particularly interested in those films or, you know, in the horror genre, and you want to be part of the conversation about film, by entering into the conversation it now takes away from some of your future enjoyment.
Have you considered that Avatar may be the new Chinese Democracy? Obviously, this question is inspired by your amazing fake review from 2006 of Chinese Democracy…
Chuck Klosterman: Thanks. Ummm. Titanic was the Chinese Democracy of film…but it worked. [laughs] Avatar is…it seemed like James Cameron was working on Titanic longer to me. Waterworld! Waterworld was Chinese Democracy. You know, Avatar, it just doesn’t look that good, but maybe it’ll be great. But I liked Chinese Democracy much more than Waterworld, obviously. I mean, Chinese Democracy, if nothing else, will always be remembered because it’s become short hand for any project that goes on forever and costs too much money. Like, anytime someone is in their kitchen and trying to bake cookies, and they keep ruining the batches and throwing the cookies out and buying more ingredients, this is like the Chinese Democracy of cookie baking.
I have a serious question. [geek stalker voice] Can you elaborate on why you take issue in the book with Edward Furlong’s John Connor advising the T-100 to say “Hasta la vista baby” in T2: Judgement Day?
Chuck Klosterman: Well…that is sort of a joke. [laughs] At the time the movie came out, the phrase, “Hasta la vista,” was most associated with the artist Töne Löc. Before Terminator 2 came out, there was a Guns N’ Roses video that was associated with Terminator 2 that was being shown constantly. So, when the kid said that—I dunno—that observation might have just been the remnant of a joke we were making at the time. [laughs] The thing is when I’m writing about time travel and all of these time travel films [in the book], I’m trying to write smart things but in the context of entertainment.
Right. I understand that. But in the book you adamantly feel that it would be unlikely that Edward Furlong’s John Connor would know of—or at least be a fan of–a rapper like Töne Löc. My feeling on this subject is that Furlong’s character is a loner, so he probably likes Guns ‘N Roses and finds Töne Löc funny, possibly in an ironic sense.
Chuck Klosterman: Probably. Probably. [laughs] Yeah. You’re making a good point.
In the book, you discuss movies that you cannot stop watching when they appear on television. The chief example for you is Goodfellas. What about Goodfellas lends this quality to it?
Chuck Klosterman: Goodfellas is just a really, really well made movie where if you catch the middle of it you can immediately tell which point of the movie you’re at. And you inevitably know of a particular scene that’s coming up, so you say, “Oh, I’ll just watch that scene.” And by the time you get to that scene, you’re already really watching it.
Gotcha. I agree that it’s addictive in this way. I can’t cite another movie where I anticipate just seeing actors smile more than Goodfellas. Smiles in that movie are like drugs.
Chuck Klosterman: Yeah. And in that movie, Scorsese does a lot of things that should not work. Like, I hate voice over in movies, but it’s awesome in that one. And using “Layla,” it usually comes across as cheesy, but…if employed in other films it would be bad, but there are all of these things. If you do something wrong but you do it perfectly it ends up being better than something that’s just normally good.

Earlier this week in Page 2 we featured a Twilight gag web comic strip from Hijinks Ensue which featured a funny gag with a Team Edward t-shirt. The comic went viral and received so much attention that they actually decided to produce the Team Edward James Olmos t-shirt. So if you want to support the actor who played Admiral William Adama in Battlestar Galactica , you can now buy the t-shirt. Check out the full t-shirt design after the jump.
