Robert Pattinson

Water for Elephants is available on DVD today.

So this morning I spent a little time over at Robsessed looking at the pretty. I haven't checked out what's up for a few months, so it was all new to me!

Scruff! It's all good.

Wow. Love that smile!

Seriously great.

Oh. My.

Have a great day. I know I will!

Yummy... Just Because

He's yummy even with his 'Cosmopolis' hair.




This also means the crew cut will be back again. Also with the yummy. Remember this look?



AND the Bel Ami trailer. Oh wow. Now how much do you love me????

Good Riddance, Yummy Eye Candy, and Freebie Friday is GONE

It was waaaay past Haley's time to go home on American Idol. My goodness, her singing actually improved as the show progressed, but her attitude just continued to suck. Goodbye B*tch.

I actually feel bad for Scotty and Lauren. I am happy that they have made it to the Finale, but it will be heartbreaking for whoever loses. They are both so young!!

On a completely different subject, I found a bit of eye and ear candy for your viewing and listening pleasure. Who doesn't love Robert Pattinson??? Come on, you know you do!!

Robert Pattinson is Yummy (and another giveaway)

My husband took the dog out for a walk on Friday and came back inside with the mail. This is what he handed me. Oh my. Unexpected yumminess.

YUM YUM. Don't you think so too?

Up for grabs today is this cute little gadget pouch. It measures 4 inches x 5 inches x 1 inch. It has a strap with detachable clip so you have a handle to carry it by, or you can wrap the strap around a purse strap, belt loop, etc. I used Amy Butler's Pink Tree Peony and Camel Full Moon Polka Dots.

I still love Rob...

Now that Breaking Dawn has begun filming, and Christmas is fast approaching, interest in my photo zipper pouches has picked up.. Just the other day I had a request using this photo:



I have to wonder, where the heck was I when these photos came out??? Living under a rock evidently. I went on a little eye candy search yesterday and came across these little pretties:





And my favorite...

Finally!!

Guess what movie I finally saw this past Saturday night? That's right. Eclipse.



Let me tell you, after only seeing one move since New Moon (How To Train Your Dragon) I was really looking forward to getting out and enjoying a movie. The only theatre it was still playing at around here was at the mall, which is old. It's okay there, but not the new and really nice theatre that we usually go to. My husband was certain that we would be the only ones there, but when we walked in about 15 minutes before the movie started, there was already 2 young women there in the back row. So we sat 2 rows in front of them and off the right so we wouldn't interfere with their view since they were there first. Obviously everyone is not this courteous. Is there no movie theatre etiquette anymore? Because 2 young women come in and sit directly behind us and start talking in full on loud voices until the movie started. My husband wanted to move but I told him let's wait and see how it goes. Then a couple walks in and sits directly in front of us. This is the time when you start seriously thinking you are on Candid Camera!! There is a whole theatre of empty seats and they choose to sit in back and front of us, and we are off to one side, not in the middle premium seats... It drives me crazy. Then a whole bunch of couples start arriving and sitting all around us... okay, fine, no one knows how to spread out.

So I have 3 empty seats to the right between me and the aisle, and a couple shows up just as the movie is starting and sits there with 1 empty seat between us. This man drove me absolutely crazy!! I was ready to scream out loud by the end of the movie. He wouldn't sit still, he huffed and sighed and moaned and groaned and shuffled his feet and put his feet up on the chair in front of him and tapped and wiggled and just would not sit still. He got up 3 times during the movie to get candy, so he's making noise with his boxes, and chewing and smacking, and every time he picked up his huge ass soda, he would swirl it around before taking gulps and smacking his lips and sighing, and OMG I was ready to scream!!

As for the movie itself, it was okay. Afterwards my husband asked how long before he has to suffer through another one? I made his night by telling him not until next November. He said he could handle waiting that long to go with me again. Gee, thanks honey. I stopped him with a hand on his arm, and I got up in his face and started talking to him really serious... just like they do in Eclipse, and he started cracking up and wondering why they do that? I told him I didn't know, that this was the 3rd different director, so you would think they could do something different. The extreme close-ups and seriousness of every little line has gotten more pronounced with each movie. It's a bit much. I'd like to see the actors move around and act like real people while having discussions. All the close-ups just make it so boring. I think they are going for dramatic, but it's just not coming off that way.

And the hand held cameras bothered me. Too much shaking. The scene that was the most notable, I think, was in Jacob's garage when Jacob was throwing a fit over Bella choosing to become one of them... Jacob was shaking in a rage, and the camera was shaking too. That was just weird.

Robert Pattinson's acting just gets better and better with each movie. I thought he was awesome. And hot. LOL. Gotta give him that. And he looked extremely hot hot hot in the tent scene. And the meadow scenes. And the... well, he looked really good throughout the entire movie.



Taylor Lautner was really good too. I think he owns the role of Jacob. I know the character is really supposed to be huge and towering over everyone, but he pulls off being short and imposing, and makes being tall seem less important.

As for Kristen Stewart, same old, same old. She's terrible. I can't stand watching her sputter and stutter and just ugh, I don't like the way she acts!! Although, she wasn't as terrible as she was in Twilight and New Moon, so at this rate, by the end of filming Breaking Dawn she will be less twitchy and stuttery and sputtery... or at least I can hope.

Not enough Billy Burke. He totally stole every scene he was in. (And I kept waiting for him to pick up a guitar and start singing... that may have been just a 'me' thing though. Does anyone else have his CD?)

I loved Jasper's back story. Loved Alice. Rosalee looked horrible. Not enough of Emmett. Loved the training and fight scenes. Didn't like the new Victoria. Loved Riley. Loved the wolves. They were huge!! My husband even commented on the big ass wolves.

I loved the scene when Bella showed up at the Cullen's house. Edward opened the door and wondered what Bella was doing out there.. which was weird to say, but when she entered the house with him, they played 'Bella's Lullaby' in the background. Did anyone else like this as much as I did?

Overall, Eclipse was pretty good. I like the story of Eclipse better than I like the actual movie. Of course I will be getting the DVD, and I'll watch it a few more times, and maybe then I will have more of an opinion. Right now I think it's better than New Moon. The acting is better than Twilight. But I still like Twilight more because it was the first, it was fresh, and because they still walked and talked, and I actually like that. The extreme close-ups have gotten out of hand. Hopefully they get that under control and have more moderation for Breaking Dawn.

Eclipse Premiere!!!!!!!

The Eclipse premiere is tonight, and I won't be there!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same as New Moon, I will gladly wait until Friday at approximately 5 pm, but no freakin' later. My husband knows the drill. His happy @ss is going with me.



I think I am excited to see this movie. I have been keeping myself away from anything spoilerish, and it hasn't been hard. Not many photos out there. Only saw some of the promos while watching TV. I think my husband even saw a promo that I didn't. I am looking forward to seeing Eclipse, but I can't believe it will be 18 months before the first Breaking Dawn movie will be out. That's extremely odd to me. You would think they would have waited until November to release Eclipse, and not have such a long break until BD comes out.

For your viewing pleasure, I gladly leave you with some photos of the pretty. Don't drool on your keyboards.

Robert Pattinson's Birthday...

Today is Robert Pattinson's birthday. However, our federal government has, for some unknown reason, failed to declare it a national holiday. I'm up for celebrating, even though Robert is not American.

Happy Mother's Day!!

This is what (or rather who) I really want for Mother's Day...



I'm quite sure this is what I am actually getting for Mother's Day...



Yes, I'm a dork. My husband and children support (and encourage) my dorky self, so it really can't be helped.

SPOILER ALERT - My Thoughts On Remember Me

SPOILER ALERT!! I can't wait any longer to post my thoughts on Remember Me, so if you haven't seen the movie yet, STOP READING!!

I've read so many reviews since yesterday, and I can't believe there are that many idiots who get paid to review movies. The main problem seems to be the ending. Some people actually believe that Summit or someone else changed the ending to 9-11 to get more of a response from the audience. I'm not high on Summit right now (if you don't know why, then you haven't been reading my blog) but I do know they didn't change the ending to exploit 9-11 and elicit a more emotional ending. If I am remembering all of the stories from the past year or so, wasn't this ending in the original screenplay?

Ugh. Reviewers always piss me off when they have no clue what they are talking about. I see a lot of comparisons to 'Love Story', which I am conflicted about, mostly because with 'Remember Me' we weren't ALL prepared for a love story with death as the ending. And the death is not the important message in 'Remember Me'. It's that you never know what's going to happen, and that you need to live life to the fullest. If you feel something, say it. If you want something in life, go for it. "Live in the Moments"

I am so tired of people always comparing Robert's characters to 'Edward'. It seems these reviewers brought their preconceived notions and their 'Twilight' hate into this movie. I saw no resemblance to 'Edward' at all. 'Tyler' was very emotional, it was not just stares and angst, and I hope I never again hear someone compare Robert's performance to James Dean.

And anyone who has a problem with Robert's hair needs to get over it already.

I am rambling, but I am aggravated and trying to get all of my thoughts unscrambled and into coherent sentences. Below you will find my 'original' review that I wrote immediately after seeing 'Remember Me.'

**************************************************************



My husband and I went to see "Remember Me" on Saturday, March 11, 2010. Sadly, there were only 12 people in the theatre. I thought there would be more than that!!

I think Robert did an terrific job portraying Tyler. The character of Tyler feels real - more real than Edward does. There are a variety of emotions displayed and Robert gives an excellent performance. I can't wait to see his future films.

I loved his roommate, Aiden. Yes, he was shallow, but a lot of young 20-somethings are the same way. He really did care about the people in his life. I love the shot of him in the classroom at the end of the movie. I want my own 'Tyler' tattoo!!!

I was prepared to not like Ally, but I found myself liking her, and rooting for her and Tyler. She seemed a little sheltered at the beginning of the movie, which made her moving out of her father's house a little out of character.

Tyler's little sister was terrific. Robert did a great job being all big-brotherly. They are 10 years apart, so they actually have affection between them instead of the usual fighting between siblings that are closer in age.

I am assuming Tyler's dad become so cold and seemingly uncaring as a way to distance himself and protect himself from more hurt. In his eyes, 'taking care' of Tyler and his little sister means nothing more than making sure they are 'provided for'. But he doesn't give them his time or attention, which is what Tyler resents so much. I loved the second time his dad bailed him out of jail. It seemed his dad was starting to loosen up a bit, and Tyler got a little glimmer of hope in reconnecting with his dad. And then when Tyler sees the photos on his dad's computer it makes him realize that his dad really does care.

Ally's dad is a character that really gets little development. I am assuming they meant for him to be overprotective and overbearing. But he really came off as controlling and abusive. I understand how he could worry about Ally not coming home when she was supposed to, he probably thought something bad had happened to her (like what happened to his wife). But his overreactions really made him look like an ass.

As with most movies, one can always find flaws - continuity errors, editing problems, scenes that seem out of place, actions that are out of character. I choose not to dwell on the small things with 'Remember Me', but instead focus on the overall effect and feel of the movie.

Right now, most critics and a lot of reviews are negative because of the movie's ending. I don't feel that it's the studio's fault for the ending. It was written that way. I don't feel it was a ploy to wring as many emotions as possible from the viewers. It wouldn't have had the same impact if he had died another way. (Then it would have just been another Nicholas Sparks movie, and I think everyone knows how much I HATE those!!!!!!)

Overall I really liked 'Remember Me.' I would recommend that everyone see it. I would actually love to see it again at the theatre, but I will probably end up waiting for it on DVD.

We Just Saw Remember Me...

The only thing my husband could say was "Holy shit."
I think may have mumbled "OMG" before I covered my mouth with my hand.

I mentioned before that I had stayed away from spoilers for 'Remember Me." I'm so glad I didn't know anything. This was a much anticipated movie for me, but I really didn't have any expectations going into it. My one real hope was that Robert Pattinson would prove that he really could act if given the right opportunity. I think he did a very credible portrayal of Tyler. And he has a great range of emotions in this movie.

I don't want to reveal anything spoilerish for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet - Why haven't you seen it??? Go see it. NOW!! - so I won't go into details now. I'll save my in depth review for later so I don't ruin the movie for anyone.

Robert, Robert Everywhere...

I LOVE THIS PHOTO!!!

My husband and I are going to see 'Remember Me' tomorrow. I hope it's as good as the trailers make it out to be. I've been careful to stay away from any types of spoilers, so I have no clue what the ending is. Hopefully it doesn't make me cry.



The first official 'Eclipse' trailer has been released. I can't squee too loudly, but... SQUEEEEEEEE!!



AND if that wasn't enough Robert for you, get your hot little hands on 'New Moon' on March 20. I don't plan on going to any of the midnight release parties. That seems a little juvenile for me.

I do plan on purchasing my copy at Target. I actually can't wait to watch it again. I know I totally blew on it when I saw it in the theatre, but I'm willing to give it another chance (or two).

I'm normally a law-abiding citizen...

However, I may have been breaking the law recently. I knew that. It's not beyond my knowledge. Sum*mit Ent.'s legal department contacted Etsy and had my items removed. It seems Sum*mit owns the copyright to every word, name, and/or phrase that is even slightly related to the Twi-light series. AND they own EVERY photo of everyone who is in the movie series. Hmph.

Here's the kicker: I'm not supposed to talk about this (oops) and I am not allowed to ask Etsy why items that are the same or similar to mine are still on Etsy. Sum*mit must think I'm a big fish since they are going after me. Not that you can't type "Twi-light" in the search box at Etsy and find hundreds of other sellers doing the same thing as me. I feel special for being singled out.

New Moon And Robert Pattinson

I turned on the tv and as I flipped through the channels I came across the Joy Behar show on HLN. Joy and her guests were talking about People's Sexiest Man Alive 2009. One of the women guests suggested Robert Pattinson should have won instead. Danny Bonaduce busts in with his opinion - he thinks Robert looks like Tori Spelling!! Then Danny goes on about how Robert's eyes are on the side of his head. Joy told him he better watch out or Robert will come on Danny's show and kick his ass. So Danny thinks that would be good for his ratings, and then invites Robert onto his show. He says "Robert, you're welcome to come on my show any time and kick my ass."

Oh, how I wish Robert were a violent person and would go and kick that loudmouth's butt!!! LOL

My husband and I went to see New Moon earlier. They showed the trailer for Robert's movie Remember Me. My husband even commented that it looks like it may be a good movie. So I may actually get him to take me to the movies again before Eclipse comes out. LOL

I am going to say a few things about New Moon, nothing too spoilerish (especially if you have read the books), but if you haven't seen the movie yet, come back and read this later!!

It was boring. Long and boring. I think my husband almost dozed off. The soundtrack sucks. I didn't listen to the soundtrack prior to viewing the movie. I am a loooooong way from my teenage angst years, so these songs really do nothing for me. The background music sucks. The movie tried waaaay too hard to be intense and dramatic. I feel they tried to cram in all of the good dialog from the book, and in doing so, they left out a lot of the smaller things that contributed to the flow of the storyline. I wasn't all that impressed - it's kind of a let down after all the hype. I guess I just expected so much more. I tried really hard to love this movie. I want to love this movie. But it was just okay. And that makes me very sad.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon made history at the box office Friday, with midnight showings racking up $26.3 million in ticket sales.

**Edited to add: Just so no one thinks I am freaking retarded and hated New Moon, I have a few more things to say. While the wolfie special effects weren't all that great, they were what I expected (if you've seen the "Jacob, RUN!!!" trailer, that's what you get.) I love the Volturi scenes, although they all looked weird and not at all scary and powerful. I loved the fight scene between Edward and Felix. That was pretty cool. And I LOVED the cliffhanger ending (and the very loud collective gasp from the audience). That was hilarious!! I feel the movie could have been so much more. There were long silent moments where nothing really happens. A lot of the scenes are really boring and long, especially scenes that are supposed to be very emotional - it's like they tried to cram as many good lines from the book into these scenes, and it just made them fall flat. I found myself thinking "Just say the line already and move along to the next scene..." And these long boring scenes are made more boring by the lack of motion or movement by the characters. They literally stand looking at each other saying their lines without moving at all. Well, they DO move their lips, but nothing else. It's supposed to be emotional, so EMOTE!!!

Overall, while I found New Moon to be semi-boring, I'd still rate it a B-. I liked it, I just didn't love it. And I am pleased I was able to see it on opening day.

Remember Me

Remember Me

Trailer Park | MySpace Video

I am really looking forward to seeing Robert Pattinson in Remember Me. From the trailer it seems as though he has a pretty good performance. Very different from 'Edward' - which is a good thing.

How To Be - Movie

Robert Pattinson's movie How To Be finally has a U.S. release date of November 17.



Another of Robert's movies, The Haunted Airman, will be available on DVD in the U.S. on October 13.








I'm not sure how I feel about watching either of these movies. I'm sure I'll enjoy How To Be because I like quirky British movies, and I actually like that Robert is such a dork in this movie. And I have to admit that I probably wouldn't watch The Haunted Airman if Robert wasn't in it.

If you have seen either of these movies, please comment and let me know what you thought of them.

Stone Wildflowers

Does anyone else completely love Joel Dewberry's Stone Wildflowers from his Ginseng line? I've been envying everyone who has it and has been using it, because I couldn't justify spending $15.00 a yard for it. But I recently acquired it at dirt cheap prices and I am sooooooo very happy to finally have it!! I look forward to using it, and I have a new purse in mind for it.

I just completed a large custom order, and now I have another semi-large custom order to finish up. Then I plan on making a few purses for my Etsy shop using some of my Joel Dewberry Ginseng fabrics.
