Some footage from the Dawson’s Crypt panel at Comic-Con has showed up online (more on Twilight fans here).  It’s basically four minutes of abstinence-parable fans screaming their lungs out.  The stars and their stupid hair sort of try to answer questions, but the audience pretty much drowns out anything they say with their screams.  This kind of fan reaction has been around since Elvis, and I’ve never quite understood it.  OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOU!  I’M GOING TO YELL SO LOUD THAT NO ONE CAN HEAR ANYTHING YOU SAY!!!! AAAAAIIIIEEEGGGGGHHHH!  AIIIIEEEEEGGGHHH!

AIIIIEEEEEGGGHHH is the sound that love makes, apparently.

Watch the second trailer for Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke’s adaptation of the Stephanie Meyer novel, after the jump 

Bella knows Edward is a vampire, but she’s fallen in love anyway, a love so broody and complex that no one over 17 could possibly hope to understand it.  Meanwhile, the world is intent on breaking them apart, especially when that douchebag from Never Back Down shows up.  Will their love survive?  Will meaningful looks be exchanged?  Find out on the next Dawson’s Crypt.

Twilight, aka Dawson’s Crypt, the vampire movie/abstinence parable based on the book series written by Mormon housewife Stephanie Meyer, recently graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly. 

With the chick holding the apple and striking a provocative, kabuki-esque pose, and the dude’s belt buckle provocatively… uh… slithering… sideways, there’s some obvious symbolism going on here.  I think the apple is a metaphor for anal or something.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, MTV’s reaction is My first thought is: WOW! “Twilight” made the cover of “Entertainment Weekly”!  How insightful!
