The Abs That Shook Comic-Con

Though posting the picture above may get me into hot water with Summit Entertainment and child protective services, I feel it is my duty to help all you non-Conners understand the moment where thousands of female audience members simultaneously orgasmed, menstruated, gave birth, and passed out. It came during a Taylor Lautner shirtless scene from the New Moon preview that could only be described as “ludicrously fantastic,” and we have it for you (until they’re onto us!) after the jump:

you know if the sexes of the actor and fans were reversed, it would be way more creepy.

isn't he supposed to be a warewolf? you'd think he'd be hairier, i mean, other than the wig

Oh you must be thinking of werewolves, and yes they generally fall into the hirsute category. A warewolf however, is actually the domesticated cousin of the werewolf. Often found in industrial factory settings, they are, in fact, quite svelte. It's a common misconception, I hope that helps.

I was more entertained by the inane commentary as the clip was played--I don't think we should expect much from the current Training Bra Class

Indeed. I think the only way this clip could have been better was if the camera was pointed towards the audience.

Man, could you imagine watching this movie in a theater? Thank goodness for Harry Potter.

Squeeeeeeee!

You know, maybe I want to see this in the theater on opening night. Because, much like a werewolf on the night of a full moon, whenever I see clips of this film I find myself regressing to my 14-year-old self.

I'm trying to be cool about it, at least here. Those abs are plot-contrivance proof.

Yay. Sure. If she rides a motorcycle-- without proper training and without a helmet-- she hallucinates seeing her abusive, patronizing, stalker boyfriend. At least she landed on her head. A skull that thick could never be concussed. That's what we call "idiocy," fangirls. All that hyperventilating has damaged your pea-sized brains.

Modern werewolves can't escape the lure of manscaping either.
