• Title: Twilight

It seems fans of the Stephanie Meyer novels went ga-ga for the short look they got at Twilight based on the first book of the series about a vampire (Robert Pattinson) who falls in love with a teenager (Kristen Stewart).  I don’t know about you, but to me this sure looks a dumbed-down lame tween version of the Buffy/Angel relationship.  Check out these clips and interviews from the San Diego Comic-Con courtesy of the good folks from G4’s Attack of the Show.  The movie is set to start sucking (heh, vampire humor) at the box office on December 12th.
