Yahoo News Via Reuters is talking about the big buzz that Eclipse is creating. We’re also all kinds of happy that they even quoted us!

“Ben Carlson, president of Hollywood buzz monitoring firm Fizziology, said “Eclipse” is generating as much buzz as any film this year, and is on par with “Toy Story 3” which enjoyed an opening weekend box office of more than $100 million.

One of the blogs generating that buzz is Joffs’ TwilightLexicon.com, where the Tennessee mother of two children addresses such topics as “Eclipse’s” new director.

Joffs said Slade, who previously made the horror film “30 Days of Night,” had fans worried that he “was just going to be so dark as a horror movie director.” But after seeing the film, Joffs said those audience concerns will evaporate.

“He understands that the love triangle is what keeps fans coming back for more,” she said.”

Last night visitors to Twilight fansites got to see a preview of Eclipse right across from where the cast was taping the Jimmy Kimmel show. Well, here’s what happened according to some of the Lexicon’s representatives:

Pam’s reaction:

“Thank you soooo much!!! We had Dakota, Peter, Elizabeth and I think Xavier in person show up at the theater.

Rob, Kristen and Taylor were on a live feed at the Jimmy Kimmel show (which is across the street from the Chinese 6). Someone shouted, “Rob come here” and he repeated it so they heard us!!! We were about 15 minutes or so into the movie when the screen went blank… and they said there was some difficulties and them Jimmy K. shows on our screen. That’s when they introduced R, K and T…. then the others came out in front of the audience.

Thanks again for a very memorable night!!!! Can’t wait to see this movie again and again!!!”

Clair’s reaction:

“It was great; you’re going to love it!! Thanks SO much @twilightlexicon for the opportunity to see Eclipse tonight. *HUGS* @DAVID_A_SLADE You are a genius, sir. I bow to you!!! Thank you for making such an AMAZING film. XO.”

After the cast visit and the shout out from the Kimmel show fans from various fansites and their webmasters got to see the movie. Alphie gave her review of Eclipse about two weeks ago, which the rest of the admin team agrees with. We got to see the movie on Friday in IMAX.
