Huh.
Crowd Forces Cancellation of "Twilight" Movie Event in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A planned meet-and-greet for the star of teenaged vampire movie is cancelled after hundreds of fans stormed the entrance to the Stonestown Galleria Mall.
People started crowding the front of the mall at about 5:00 a.m. Monday for the chance to buy a t-shirt and get a wristband to meet Robert Pattinson who plays the character of Edward in the "Twilight" movie. That film, based on at least five popular books, is due to open in theaters later this month.
Organizers reportedly cancelled the event because of the crush of fans. Witnesses tell KRON 4's Yoli Aceves the large crowd overwhelmed a list organizers had set up to register fans to meet the actor.
It's unclear if the event will be rescheduled.
In other news, I watched Blue Crush and Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay this weekend. Both of my crushes on Hawai'i and Kal Penn continue to be epic. Clearly, Harold and Kumar need to learn how to surf in Oahu in the next movie.
They must be counting
Midnight Sun.
I like how it's "at least" five. THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. Dun dun DUN!
Weirdly, the headline made me think the event was canceled by marauding protesters.
"Hell NO, we won't go. Vamps are not supposed to glow."

I'm only slightly embarassed to say that
Blue Crush
is basically the reason I ended up on the North Shore last Thanksgiving. However, it was only coincidence that I managed to be there during one of the Triple Crown surfing events.
Between that and staying just down the beach from where they filmed
Lost,
I almost felt like a fangirl.

So, the Tolkien estate is going to kill this, isn't it?
The free release nonprofit angle might protect the makers from losing if it comes to litigation, but the Tolkein Estate's lawyers would not be my first choice of opponent in a legal snafu.

I suspect a special Ring may be involved with those people.

Is that even backhanded a comment?
