I’m not ashamed to admit it: on our four year anniversary, my husband and I watched Twilight. Okay, so I took him to watch it- but he really didn’t resist either. He even enjoyed himself.
I never thought the books were well-written, but I did find the story engaging. The movie, on the other hand, was done very well. And Robert Pattinson? Mmm.
Not surprising, then, to show you what I’ve just ordered: the two-disc special edition of Twilight- which means more Edward and Bella around here. And just look at what’s included:
Audio commentary by Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson (!)
Muse music video: “Super Massive Black Hole”
Paramore music video: “Decode”
Linkin Park music video: “Leave Out All the Rest”
Five extended scenes with director introductions
Five deleted scenes with director introductions
Seven-part documentary: “The Adventure Begins: The Journey from Page to Screen”
Comic-Con “fandom” piece
Comic-Con NY sizzle reel
Three trailers
Penelope trailer
The two-disc Twilight Special Edition DVD is $22.99 from Amazon »
P.S. While you’re at it, go ahead and order the Twilight Soundtrack
- an awesome collection of tunes, and one of my favorite soundtracks ever.

With the world economy being what it is, however, I have to admit that I was a little wary of the new film based on the first book of the series. Would the subject matter be in poor taste, in these days when even Vogue is publishing lists of “gifts below $10″?
Turns out, I had nothing to worry about: the film – like the book- is fun, smartly done, and most importantly, entertaining. As I sat through the movie, watching the adorable Isla Fisher being adorable, I forgot about my own- er- shopaholicness. Some things were over the top, yes, but the book prepared me for that. I’m looking forward to the sequel(s) now.
Did you see Confessions of a Shopaholic? What did you think?
That’s right, it’s not long now until Sex & the City: the Movie hits the big screen! I’m excited. Can you tell?
So I just saw Across the Universe
, and wow. I loved it. The music was awesome, and I loved the whole “look” of the film. In that spirit, then, here are some fashion picks inspired by the 60’s for you: Keep Reading »
