Facepalm, Epic Fail, With a Lil Bit of Win

This post will be a short one (maybe). Just wanted to address a couple of things.

Numero Uno: Does anyone else feel like we’ve seen the same interviews for the Eclipse press tour over and over and over and over again? I don’t mean literally the same interviews…but it might as well be, because they ask the same DAMN questions every single freaking interview!!!!!!!!!!!! “What was it like…the three of you working together,” “How was it filming the Jacob/Bella kiss?” “Taylor, how did you maintain the muscle for this 3rd movie…do u still eat beef patties?” “Was it like wearing that little spandex grey wolf suit?” “What was it like to film the tent scene?” “Tell us about the love triangle.” Seriously, if I hear “love triangle” one more time in an interview, I’m gonna flip my wig!

But the absolute worst question has to be, “So Kristen…Team Edward or Team Jacob?” I mean REALLY!!! How many times does the girl have to answer that question??? It like no answer she gives is good enough. In a nutshell….have you ppl read the books? Kristen supports Bella’s decisions and would follow her gut. This=Edward. Boom bobbit, DONE! Question answered. No wonder she hates this question so much. She’s probably run out of ways to answer it.



I feel like a certain series of questions get established at the beginning of these press tours. After that, the same series of questions circulate through the entire press tour, and it’s like no one can ask something different! I don’t know how they do it. Someone on Twitter last night was talking about if she were Kristen, she would just start making stuff up to amuse herself. One big question that would have been fabulous to ask was about the proposal scene. I don’t care what the question is but anything would have been good. We got NOTHING! I mean zip, nada. I did not hear a single interviewer ask about that scene. It was only questions about the tent scene. I’m really looking forward to that scene, but I totes tired of hearing about it. Am I dumb, or does no one else see the proposal as a vital piece of the story? I heard one person ask about the proposal scene…and it was an interviewer on the red carpet for the Yellow Handkerchief premiere!!! *facepalm* Can I please interview next go around….yes, thanks!




Numero Dos:
Can we PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get a picture of Rob and Kristen together on the red carpet for the premiere tonight? I mean together, without Taylor. I love him and everything…but it feels like this movie has turned into a Jacob/Bella romance instead of the Edward/Bella romance we all came to love. Rob/Kristen actually play the COUPLE in the movie…so is it too hard to let them pose together? Probably. I’m crossing my fingers though. I will be awake for this thing (which will be way past my bedtime), so I better get something worth staying up till the wee hours of the morning for! Seriously, I will not be a happy camper.

I LEGIT wish I had one of these buttons on my keyboard…I would push it all the time!!! ;-) especially when it comes to Summit’s promo fail of Edward/Bella



ECLIPSE in one week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R you all excited, cause I can’t freaking wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did anyone catch Jimmy Kimmel last night when the camera shot to the theater watching Eclipse? I saw a meadow scene! Let me be honest, I rewound that .2 blip of second clip to try and figure out what Edward said to Bella. It looked like “Marry Me!” 0_0 DEAD!

And while I'm writing, these two awesome gifts came out.

1.) ummm, yes please!!!!!!!!!!



2.) DEAD...seriously, just cannot form coherent thoughts at the moment.

Fandom Suckage

For some unknown reason, I cannot log into blogger at work and it’s KILLING ME! So I’m typing this post in a Word document, and hopefully it will get posted on the site sometime soon.

There are some points I want to address in this post. It seems like things in this Twilight/Rob/Kristen fandom have gotten a little out of control lately. Okay “a little” is an understatement…things have gotten BIG TIME outta control. During the Eclipse TwiCon Press Tour this, fans had a wonderful opportunity to attend the panel with Rob, Kristen, and Taylor. Now, some of us aren’t lucky enough to go to every single event Twilight related…I’m not even lucky enough to go to 1. So we depend on the fans that do get the privilege of going to record these events. And how do we get rewarded…………….by having peeps scream thru the whole event!!!!!!!!! I mean honestly! What is the point in going if you don’t even listen to what they are actually saying?!? Some of us actually do care. This was me trying to listen to the videos ppl uploaded…



And the things some “fans” scream out during these events are down-right ridic! Totally embarrassing. Like shouting to Rob, “I NEED YOU!” Really??? Do you actually think he finds that attractive/funny/cute? No, that=creepy.



And then the other day, the ER thing went down. Supposedly ER closed her Twitter account because of crazy Twi-fans sending her nasty messages. Whether that is the truth or not is questionable. Some of her comments on Leno did come off as a bit snarky, but the tweets sent to her because of it are inexcusable. Seriously ppl, how old are you??? This fandom gets a bad name because unfortunately there are those individuals that do not have that brain-to-mouth filter. You give actual “sane” fans like us a bad name. Rob and Kristen are adults. They are certainly capable of taking care of themselves. No wonder Kristen hates Twitter. I just hope she never sees how much backstabbing and trash talk really goes on.

On another note, I completely understand if you do not care for someone. To each their own. We all have those ppl in our lives. But most of us are mature enough to look past it and just not talk to and/or about that person. But to stoop to the level of this is just sad and completely disgusting. Here is a quote from someone on YouTube. The comment was on a video of Kristen dropping her award at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards…

"AHAHAHAHAH I LOL'D SO HARD AT THIS AHAHAHAHHA. Kristen, you're retarded. Just as every Twilight poor and mediocre cast member. I hope you lose your clitoris in a very weird and funny way, you untalented and timid peace of shit. "

What type of person wishes that on someone? There are people that I don't care for, but never in a million years would I wish such a horrible thing. Whoever wrote this needs a serious reality check. GROW UP!!!!

I have read so many things that people have written about Kristen (and Rob too) that just make me cringe. It’s really funny how all her fans say she is the sweetest, kindest person EVER! But you have reporters and gossip columnists saying all these negative things like, “She needs to stand up straight, she needs to dress up more, she needs to smile more.” Okay, first off, the whole smiling thing hits a huge nerve for me. I mean HUGE. For every picture that you find of her not smiling, I will find 3 of her smiling to counter that one. The biggest place they hound her for it is at events and premieres where there is like a billion flashing lights going off in her face. She has even admitted to the energy being thrown at her at these things is overwhelming. And they crucify her for not smiling at every single photographer. Well you get up there and see how you feel when ppl are screaming at you and telling you to do this and that. I’ve been to enough graduations to know that after awhile, you have to force yourself to smile after so many pics. You seriously feel like you have to unscrew the smile on your face when the pictures are done. Not so fun!

The worst excuse I hear is that, “well, she’s a celebrity…it comes with the territory. She asked for it.” Ummmm, no she didn’t! Making movies and bringing her characters to life is what she cares about…not all the Hollywood stuff. Sadly, it’s the opposite with most actors. They care too much about the parties, glitz, and glamour….

I’m sorry I thought actors were there to actually make movies, not be hounded by 30 paparazzi asking if you’re screwing Robert Pattinson! Seriously, the questions these paps ask are beyond intrusive. It’s harassment!!!!!! How do people not see that???? That’s why they call it a personal life…because it does not belong to anyone else except them. So please reporters, interviewers, etc. STOP ASKING THEM THAT FREAKING QUESTION ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! They aren’t gonna answer for a reason. How you have not figured that out yet is beyond me!

Okay, off my soap box for now. Funny little thing happened the other day while I was meeting with one of my students. She came in and was talking to me about some stuff…she saw my Bella poster hanging on the side of my filing cabinet (the one that came with the Eclipse soundtrack). So she asked me if I was excited for the movie to come out…..”uh duh!” lol. Then she proceeded to ask if I was Team Edward or the other guy. Me=”Team Edward definitely.” She said, “well, I’m that other guy…oh what’s his name…..TAYLOR!” haha. She couldn’t even remember his name. I had to resist the urge to bitchface her when she said Taylor. j/k! I guess I will have to forgive her lapse in judgment because she’s one of my students. ;-)

Twi-Con (aka i'm now suffering from computer vision syndrome)

I knew Saturday was going to be pretty eventful with all that was going on with the TwiCon Press Tour. But I had no idea it was going to be THAT busy! Seriously, my eyes were glued on the computer screen...the entire FLIPPIN day!



Yeah, this was legit me trying to keep up with everything...well not literally me, but you get the picture. Thank goodness my dog decided to sleep all dang day.

So the exciting part came when Kristen, Rob, and Taylor were expected at the 7 pm panel (which was about 10:00 pm my time). Even though it was only 10, I was beyond tired at this point. I was impatiently waiting there arrival at 7:00 sharp and saw the tweet that said, "THEY'RE HERE!!!" I got all giddy and excited, then that feeling was squashed in like 2 seconds when another tweet came out saying, "false alarm, they aren't here yet?" What??? How is that even possible to mistake?!?!?! The tweets in response to this was freaking hilarious! "It's apparition Rob from NM!" "It's ghost Rob!" I was cracking up! When I'm really tired, I get super giggly, and these tweets were totes making me roll. The best was when the girls on Twitter were making nerdy jokes at the ppl in the audience doing the wave. "Please make them come to the stage, these ppl are starting to do the wave!" I was giggling so hard at one point my brother was like, "WHAT are you laughing at???" So when they finally came out....like 40 minutes later!...some pretty great stuff went down.

We were seeing things like, "Taylor points to Kristen and tells rob, "don't you sleep with her in it?"" and "rob said his favorite movie was The Runaways...Kristen said hers was Remember Me." We were all like...We need a video of this NOW!!!!!!!!!! (P.S. I get super jealous of all these events these peeps get to go to. We need some Twi-happenings in TN).

So when it dropped (all 18 videos...and counting) we all watched with wonder. My excitement immediately dissolved when I realized I couldn't understand what the F they were saying!!!! Seriously those screaming girls are embarrassing. It shows a serious lack of respect, especially shouting out some of the things these people did. What's the point of actually going to these things and screaming the whole way thru??? As much as we like to look at these ppl, some of us actually care to hear what they are saying!

Enuf bitchin, on to the good stuff. Let's just say they 3 of them up there together was a total WIN! I mean, honestly, I've never seen them more candid and bouncing off each other's humor than Saturday night. You could totally tell someone (*cough* Rob *cough*) hadn't had much sleep. He was super giggly and just let things dribble out of his mouth. It was amazing!!! The funniest part of that whole interview was when they were trying to get Rob to say nachos and he was like, "I thought you said Buttchunks!" Bahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me just tell you, I was DYING when I watched this! This was me....



This video cracks me UP! I die everytime I watch it. P.S. I have no clue what's going on in the very beginning of the vid. Ignore that.


Dude, you could tell Rob was in some serious need of sleep. But sleepy Rob gave us some good shit. Like this....



Too much went down in these past few days that I can't keep up...here's a couple random bits.

Do you see the way he looks at her??? :-)



*Sigh* It's a extremely rare sight to see a man look at a woman the way he does with her.



0_0! UNF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me just give you a little piece of info. I have absolutely ZERO will power when it comes to new Twilight clips/tv spots...and I mean nada! If a new clip is posted, I'm clicking "play" in like .2 seconds. So, as I sit here pondering what to write next, this little gem comes out



OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think every Twilight fan's hearts just exploded! I know I sat doe-eyed at the computer screen after replaying this about 20x. Normally that line would come across as super cheesy, but the way he says it....yeah, definitely NOT cheesy. Raise your hand if your imagining this is Kristen/Rob instead of Edward/Bella...guilty! lol. Can't help it.
