As you’re making your plans to purchase The Twilight Saga: New Moon on DVD or Blu-ray, keep this in mind: Walmart’s Ultimate Fan Edition will be the only one to carry a seven-minute sneak peek of Eclipse. According to a press release hitting the wires Thursday, new interviews with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Stephenie Meyer are integrated into the behind-the-scenes and on-set footage — which concludes with the world premiere of a scene from Eclipse, in theaters June 30. This exclusive look is in addition to 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews about New Moon, also available on the standard Special Edition. You can pre-order the Ultimate Fan Edition starting tomorrow.
Walmart will go all-out for the March 20 DVD release. Midnight events are planned in more than 2,600 24-hour stores, while 3,500 stores will feature special “Twilight Saga Shops” — designed for both the “fan-pire” and ”wolf-lover” — from mid-March to mid-April. Think $5 jewelry, $7 tanks, and $9 tees, as well as dolls, board and DVD games, and viewing party snacks.
The first Twilight film reigns as the most pre-ordered film in Walmart’s history. Will you pre-order New Moon, or trust that every retailer will anticipate the run and stock accordingly?

As a followup to Margaret’s more extensive 
PopWatchers, clear your calendars on Valentine’s Day. Forget the romantic dinner, the slow jams, the ring-in-the-champange proposal. Stay home and watch TV. Specifically, Tyrannosaurus Sex, the Discovery Channel’s “new special that investigates dinosaur reproduction” and uses “ground-breaking CGI [to] bring new life to one of the last mysteries of these great beasts.” Excuse me while I go boil my brain in holy water and try to hang on to the last pure memories of Jurassic Park.
There were so many eye roll moments on last night’s post-American Idol debut of Fox’s Past Life — starring Kelli Giddish, Nicholas Bishop, Ravi Patel, and a woefully under-utilized Richard Schiff — but I’ve heroically whittled my list down to 13. Basic premise: NYC’s Talmadge Center, where these people work, studies “The Science of the Soul.” First up on last night’s ep: A fluffy-haired boy who suffered from Emergent Recession Trauma kept getting scary, water-related flashes of his previous life as a little girl and the team had to figure out who killed her by creepily following the kid around with a camera to fully capture the crazy. We get four new episodes of this crap over a 10-day stretch! A new hour, or what Fox is calling “the series premiere,” airs Thursday, and two more new eps will air Tuesday and Thursday next week. (Fringe will return to Past Life‘s Thursday time slot on March 18.) If you saw it last night, will you watch again?
