Take a peek at Twilight: Eclipse’s soggy vampire army

How the hell is it that I get stuck with all the TWILIGHT articles? A couple days ago I brought you the new trailer for ECLIPSE, and now this. I could point out a dozen more but I’m just too ashamed to. It may just be happenstance, but I suspect a deeper, more troubling conspiracy is at play… Or maybe I just enjoy taking every opportunity to disparage the lame franchise. It’s a mystery.

In any event, MTV has just tossed up a new photo from the latest film, ECLIPSE, showing “Riley” (Xavier Samuel), leader of the newer, badder (wetter) vampire army at the center of film. And boy am I scared. Not only does he just look completely menacing with his Gap commercial-ready hair and outfit, but the very name “Riley” strikes fear into the souls of the innocent and virtuous. Riley… I’ve got goosebumps.
