New Moon set diary

3:27PM I’m hungry like Jasper Cullen at a bloody birthday party. I round up coffee and as many mini chocolate pies as I can take without feeling tacky (three) at the craft services tent. Also in the food line are Michael Sheen, Dakota Fanning, Cameron Bright, Charlie Bewley and a handful of the other walking dead.

4:30PM Cameron Bright stops to say hello outside the food tent. He is sweet, refreshingly normal, and his Canadian accent is charming. A mini pie falls from my hand while we talk, and Cameron doesn’t bat an eyelash.

4:42PM This adventure is coming to a close. En route to the Vancouver airport, Rick, the teamster who’s been driving us around for two days, says that in his years of experience as a set driver, the Twilight pandemonium is one of the more unique things he’s seen.

"When you think about it,” he says, “It’s not really that different from the Beatles. And we’re here to see it. We’ve all been part of a moment.”

Fans and haters will say what they want about the books, the movies, the actors, the screaming girls, the rumored romances and everything else related to this nebulous universe of fanaticism, fame and fiction. Ultimately though, Twilight has wedged itself into our cultural consciousness as a pop culture phenomenon.

Rick is right. Whether we like, love it, or, like, really LOVE it, this is Twilight's moment.
