Before the Twilights and True Bloods of the world, there was Neil Jordan's 1994 Interview With a Vampire. And after almost a decade, the writer and director is back with a new blood-soaked story with Byzantium. Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, the film gives a dark spin the classic vamp tale, focusing on an undead mother and daughter (played by Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan) attempting to live in a modern world while satisfying their carnal and insatiable thirst for human blood.The official Tribeca synopsis of the film reads:

Every several weeks, I like to play a little game. I log on Facebook and scroll down the sidebar minifeed, where my best friend’s Spotify song listenings always pop up.

Bella and Edward

Okay. So. In fairness, Kristen Stewart said this stuff while sitting next to Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer in a promotional event for Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part Two. That's not the ideal time or place for a substantive critique of the material. But as Stewart defended Bella and Edward's relationship as "entirely equal," I had to wonder whether we had read the same books and watched the same movies.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart gave their first interview together since the cheating scandal — or "cheating scandal" — broke this July. If you guessed anything had changed since then, you guessed wrong. The two are still both unenthusiastic and sardonic and predictably awkward.
