FIRST FEATURE
TWI-CURIOUS?
Everything you wanted to know about Twilight but were afraid to ask
November 27, 2009
Chris Weitz
Director of New Moon. Got his start directing American Pie. Presumably enjoys moon pies.
Jawline
Body part that has provided sickeningly handsome British actor Robert Pattinson with fame and fortune.
‘Just Friends’
Phrase used to describe R-Pattz’s relationships with K-Stew, Emma Watson and Camilla Belle.
Pecs
Chest muscles. Inspire screams and giggles among fans of the oft-shirtless Taylor Lautner.
Forks
The very rainy Washington state town in which Twilight is set. Has enjoyed tourist boom thanks to the books and movies.
Twi-hards
Hardcore Twilight fans. Most likely young and female. Can be sub-categorised into Team Edward or Team Jacob.
Canada
Country where New Moon was actually shot, saving production company Summit Entertainment millions. Sorry, Forks.
Team Edward
Fans of vampire Edward Cullen. They dream of his cool, sparkly skin pressed against theirs. Ladies, please!
Team Jacob
Fans of oft-shirtless werewolf Jacob Black. Love the pecs. Look at the pecs! Aaaaaiiieeee!!!
Italy
Country where Volturi live in decadent splendour. Edward travels there. Pasta. Vespa. Che bello!
Abstinence
Though all anyone in New Moon can think about is sex, no one has yet to make out. Cold rain is metaphor for cold shower.
Twi-mum
Woman with children who dreams of having a torrid affair with a handsome vampire. Sorry, hubbies.
Muse
Author Stephenie Meyer lists English band Muse as an inspiration for New Moon. Their song I Belong To You is on the soundtrack.
Twi-hater
Indignant nerd who can’t understand why people prefer Twilight to Ingmar Bergman’s Scener Ur Ett Aktenskap (1973).
