To get ourselves a treat. 
Got your popcorn?A nice big glass of...WellDepending on what time of dayI guess it could be sodaor wineor beeror wineWine and Popcorn?Oh hell...Wine goes good with anything.Or nothing.Who needs popcorn? I've decided to talk about Robert's movies today.Since he's not giving me much else to discuss.I mean..How many times do I have to say Robert and Kristen are in love?Exactly. So since first and foremost I am an Intoxicated Robert Pattinson fan...I thought I would go through his movies. And I'm not counting "Vanity Fair"Because his scenes were cut.But he looks absolutely gorgeous in the scenesthat didn't make it to the movie. OK. 
2004: Curse of the Ring, aka "Ring of the Nibelungs"
Um. Yeah.
Not Rob's best look... but still smiling that smile.
I've only seen bits and pieces of this movie.
If Rob's voice hadn't been overdubbed
(Who the fuck replaces THAT voice?)
I would have added it to my Rob collection.
Rob has a small role...
and it's kinda a "Lord of the Ring" kinda thing
My favorite memory of the movie?
When Rob was on Leno with Heidi Klum
And he shyly looked over to her...
pulling his fingers through his hair...
And mentioned he was in a German movie.
SO CUTE!
That interview remains one of my all time favorites to this day.
That's all I got to say about this one.
How many wine drinkers out of 5?
Two.
And that's only because Rob is in it.
How many wine drinkers out of 5?
Two.
And that's only because Rob is in it.
2005: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Cedric Diggory.
Can he be any more handsome?
Gotta love Harry Potter movies.
At least I do.
And I will admit that even though I thought
the actor who played Cedric in the movie
was incredibly handsome and sweet...
I guess the thought that he was a teenager
immediately negated him from being on my radar at all.
(Yeah, Rose... Cuz being 21 is SO much better!)
I love this movie.
I love Rob in this movie.
The handsome hero.
Well, I guess Harry is the hero...
But Cedric really outshines Harry in this movie
In every way.
And I love Dan Radcliffe... I do.
But he should make it a rule to never stand
next to Robert Pattinson again.
Ever.
Five drunken fools.
Because it's Harry Potter.
It's a good movie.
Rob looks absolutely gorgeous in it.
And even though the end is a bit sad
(Yeah, Cedric bites the dust)
One of the better Potter movies...
OK, I'm being prejudiced.
So what.
Five drunken fools.
Because it's Harry Potter.
It's a good movie.
Rob looks absolutely gorgeous in it.
And even though the end is a bit sad
(Yeah, Cedric bites the dust)
One of the better Potter movies...
OK, I'm being prejudiced.
So what.
2006: The Haunted Airman
Ahh... The story of Toby Jugg.
Rather depressing movie.
Depressing color.
Depressing setting.
Depressing story.
But Robert?
Ever so beautiful!
And it is a creepy kinda movie...
But I liked it.
And everyone remembers those little clips of Rob
smoking his cigarette... deep in thought.
*swoon*
Rob's character has an affair with his 'aunt'.
Bitch.
(Hahahaha... I'm only kidding. I think.)
Seriously.
She puts her hand in his hair...
More than ONCE.
I hate her for that alone.
(Truly... I'm kidding I don't hate her. Much.)
But that all aside...
My favorite bit of the movie...
is when Toby is lying on the ground when he first
gets to this depressing rehab place thingy.
And he says something like
(I can't find the exact quote at the moment)
"Here's where we come to meet
the end of the world"
That's close enough.
Three drunken sots.
Rob is gloriously gorgeous.
2007: The Bad Mother’s Handbook
Oh sweet Daniel.
Quite possibly my favorite of Robert's pre-Twilight movies.
And hes not even a main character
Sweet story.
Very cute.
Robert is just plain ADORABLE.
I loved this movie.
I love Robert.
Four Pissed Twits
2008: The Summer House
I will admit to not seeing this in its entirety.
But damn... what I have seen is incredibly sexy.
It doesn't even kinda look like Robert.
Weird.
What gets to me is this...
Talulah Riley.
I think I might just hate her.
(Yes, I'm being facetious)
Because not only did she get to do this movie
with a deliciously handsome (heh) Robert...
But she also plays the fair Marianne in "Pirate Radio"
and gets to KISS Tom Sturridge.
What's up with THAT??
How is that even remotely fair?
Tell me!
3 Blitzed Boozers.
2008: How to Be
Art.
Art imitating Rob.
I've always felt that Art was kinda how Rob really is.
You know what I mean.
Adorkable.
Awkward.
Art.
I loved this movie.
Rob is completely charming.
It's a cute story.
AND
he plays guitar and sings
albeit not like Rob would sing.
But still cool all the same.
But still cool all the same.
4 inebriated lushes.
2008: Little Ashes
Rob is phenomenal in this movie.
He proves how serious he is about acting.
He takes risks.
But it wasn't my favorite movie.
Maybe its just because of Dali.
I don't know.
But I do appreciate Robert in this.
And its a beautiful movie, too...
So...
Three Boozy Bozos
2008: Twilight
What can I say?
This movie gave me an Edward that I could see...
That I could hear...
Robert Pattinson is the closest to Edward this world will ever see.
I was so taken with this movie when it first came out.
I couldn't get ENOUGH of it.
Rob strutting into the cafeteria?
Yes.
Top 5 best scenes EVER.
Love this movie.
Love Robert.
Love everything.
Robert became Edward.
Robert met Kristen.
Need I say more?
5 Stewed Guzzlers
2009: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
More Edward.
Nothing wrong with that!
Of course I loved this movie...
Not as much as Twilight
Because Rob wasn't in it as much...
and less Rob
is less fun.
But still.
Edward.
Bella.
Kissing.
And.
And.
ROBERT STRUTTING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT!
That alone is worth the price of admission.
3 Tipsy Winos.
2010: Remember Me
Oh dear.
Oh my.
Robert.
I truly loved this movie.
Yes, mostly because of Rob.
What can I say?
I'm a true fan.
I will follow him through all his choice of roles.
Tyler was a beautiful lost soul.
Rob can portray that wonderfully.
And look good doing it.
I hated the end.
But that's because Tyler dies.
I didn't need that.
Not after Cedric
(MY BOY!!!)
Not Tyler, too...
4 Plastered Carousers
2010: Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Probably the most beautiful Edward so far.
Probably the most romantic Edward.
Probably the first time we get to see the tough
'Don't mess with me, Victoria' Edward.
Yeah.
He takes that bitch DOWN.
Eclipse was my favorite book.
Not sure if it is my favorite of the movies
(thus far)
I find myself getting nostalgic for Edward of old.
But yes... I loved this movie.
Even if there is no strutting Edward.
And truly...
Why would you wanna break my heart?
Why?
5 Intoxicated Sponges.
I can't wait to see how many glasses of wine
Water for Elephants
or
Bel Ami
will get.
Maybe I might need to add more glasses...
You can never have enough wine.
Or popcorn.
Or Robert.
Yeah.
Prospects look good.
So...
I have quite the collection of Rob movies so far.
I don't see that stopping anytime soon.
He just keeps getting better and better.
And if at all possible...
Better looking as well.
Amazing.
I wonder if I will ever get over this intoxication.
I wonder if I will ever want to.
This post is brought to you by the letter *W*
W for Wine.
Me and wine have become intimidate lately.
Close friends.
Buddies.
Cheers for now

Good job Rose! Nice little change of pace on today's blog, very creative though.
I haven't seen the haunted airman, that is the only rob movie I've missed out on. Anyone know where I can get it?
And lmao at your line "cedric (MY BOY!)" Cuz even though its all kinds of sad when cedric dies, his father shouting MMMYYY BBOOOOOOOY makes me laugh everytime & ruins the moment lol
Ps love the wfe pic of rob u chose, hanging out on a smoke break...very very nice!
Oh and in regards to the haunted airman, I want to watch it legally. No downloads or whatever.
Anyone know if u can buy it from amazon or something?
I'm so looking forward to seeing Water for Elephants. Finished the book today and want to see Rob's Jacob :-) loved the different pace of the blog today :-)
Rose,
Have you been enjoying your wine lately?
Nice post, nice pictures. I haven't seen some of those movies but I thought the look in Ring of the whatever was cute.
Penny,I think he looks really cute in that one too :)
Rose...thanks for a retrospective of Rob's movies...there are a few I missed. Looking forward to all his wonderful upcoming films and projects!!!
Angelica,
I know, scruffy face, grungy hair, what's not to like...lol.
Great post, love seeing all the movies he's been in. I've seen them all except Ring of the ngubdjdinggs,(whatever) and the Haunted Airman it looked a little weird. I loved him as Cedric, one of my fav Potter movies. Cannot wait for WFE, almost as excited as I was for Twilight....almost. Oh and maybe the W sould also be for Whiners, considering the last few hater posts lmao thanks Rose, have a great Sat.
Groovie, I am pretty sure you can buy that movie at Amazon.com. It used to pop up on my recomendations list because my husband bought me "Twilight" and "New Moon" from there.
Nice post Rose
Fun post! I have not seen all of his movies (yet) but I have seen most of them and as well own most of them. I am having a Twilight Marathon tonight! I never get enough of seeing Rob as Edward and I haven't watched them in a long time...I need my twilight fix!
Here is a toast to Rob and his future in movies...I know it will be a long one and I look forward to watching all of it!
Today's blog reminds me of the early days of Rose's intoxication. Very retro!
I give it 6 blitzed buffoons :)
Great, as always!
ROSE and ROSELANDERS..I find myself home alone..again..So I just finished watching Eclipse and thought I would check in before I start the next movie..decisions, decisions..I am tryimg to decide between Remember Me and How to Be..I have The Haunted Airman..I think I bought both of those last two movies at Blockbusters..Ive had them for awhile. I rented Little Ashes...interesting movies! Some how its a little hard for me to watch Rob kissing another man!!! lol..Thanks Rose..I really enjoyed that post this evening...sigh...
Rose, I really enjoyed your post today, a nice change of pace. Like you, I have enjoyed all of Rob's movies that I have seen...I believe there are only two I haven't seen. I hope you are having a nice weekend.
@Groovie-I bought the Haunted Airman from Amazon. I think I paid $11.99 for it. I liked it. Rob was fantastic in it.
Rose, I agree with all your ratings, except for How To Be. When I started watching it, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. But, Rob as always, puts a spin on his characters and make you care about them. So, I would have given How To Be- 5 glasses of wine. Shoot, I would give all of his movies 5 glasses of wine, just to be able to drink a little more, just saying. Can't wait for Water for Elephants, Bel Ami, and the Breaking Dawn Movies. And let's not forget Cosmopolis. At this rate, all of us will be happy lushes, drunk on Rob.
Good post Rose.
Super,
Did you see the note I left you earlier?
Thank you KAMI & CUTIESTAR!
Looks like I'll have to pay amazon a visit! Come to think of it I think I have some amazon gift cards, always nice to spend free money! Lol
IB. No I did not do u want to tell me now or I can go back and look for it...I am watching How to Be!!!!
Here it is Super:
Super~Hope you are feeling better.
Thank you for thinking about me in the Great White North. We have moved into a cozy igloo and traded our car in for a strong dog sled and team. I am getting used to reading by whale oil lamp and I will only be on line as long as the generator lasts!
What can i say Rose JUST BEAUTIFUL, can't wait to see MORE Thanks Rose DEB.
IB...You know u should come down here and thaw out...I will make you some boiled peanuts! Lol
Yummy...boiled peanuts...how are you feeling?
IB...I am good. So were u able to work at all this week?
Yes, we were at school all week. The big storm we were suppose to get hit NYC instead of upstate where I live. A new storm is coming next week.
Did the numbness finally wear off?
Super,
Can I send you an email? I need to pick your brain a little on a drug reaction issue. I know what is going on but I don't know if it needs addressing sooner rather than later.
PL. Certainly. My husband has taken my laptop out for awhile. It will be a few more hours until he gets back to the house with it. I am using my cell phone which I do not have set up to accept my email. I will get back to you as soon as I get it back.
Super,
Thanks. How about I'll just send it off now and when you get your laptop back you can answer me?
PL..Yes. And I will.
IB...Yes. The numbness wore off about 3 am so I took some medicine. Lol..Sorry to hear u have another storm coming...You better keep the dogs and the sled a little longer....heh
Oh Rose, great post!! Loved the nostalgic look back at Rob's movies. Like you, I've bought some of them (though I have not seen Little Ashes or the Rings movie and just saw snippets of The Summer House.)
I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I loved The Bad Mother's Handbook! I laughed out loud at that movie. How To Be was nerdy, adorkable Rob...and Remember Me, well, it was nice to see Rob play a non-nerdy normal guy for a change. Be still my heart.
Hi PL...planning Church in the AM?
Believe,
It kind of depends right now. I've had a bit of a sore throat and Mr PL has a URI - upper respiratory infection, not that he goes with me.
I sent my food bank check today so I'm covered.
Rose,
What a clever and funny post today! I have seen most but not all. Thanks :)
And I agree..you can never have too much wine :)
Hi Everyone! Hope it was a great day!
PL~I had had a sore throat too and it is finally feeling better. Super told me to take 5000mg of vit. D at night and it really seemed to help. Hope you feel better. Hope MR. PL feels better too.
Hi Rhonda!
Believe,
Thanks. I already take 2000mg of Vit D. Maybe I should increase it for a bit.
Really this is the first either of us has been under the weather in months so it's no big deal.
PL...the most recent recommendation is 5000u during cold and flu season and 2000u the rest of the year...unless you spend at least 30 minutes outside per day without sun block on
PL~Sounds like you have a good outlook:)
IB! How are you? Did you get snowed in? I've been wondering about you :)
Freddie- You will love The King's Speech and I hope you have a great time :)
Hi Penny- I'm sorry you and Mr.PL are sick..I hope you feel better soon :)
Hi Super- How are you feeling? Better?
Watching New Moon on Showtime...Bella just saved Edward at the clock tower! What a shmexy Edward:)
Super,
I was actually taking it for my bones so I guess I'm in a win win if I increase it because there isn't much sun around here lately.
Did you know that endocrinologists are having people with diabetes increase their Vit D? They load them first with 50000 a week for 8 weeks and then down to 2000 a day after that.
IB- LOL..I'm watching it too!
I havent commented for a while.. But then i had a little 'dream' that i thought i'd share with you..
Maybe, just maybe.. theres some award out there thats suited to Mackenzie Foy.. And who better to take her on stage.. than her 'Daddy' :D
It would officially be the cutest moment ever :/ :D :D :D
Hope everyones doing okay :)
Rose x x
Rhonda~We are almost to the voting part. I love when Bella tells Edward to "Shut up!"
love that new moon pic hott..i hav the same one on my wall
Rhonda~Like I told Super...we gave up fighting the snow and just moved into an igloo~
IB- LOL.me too!
I guess you really did get snowed in. I read the comment you sent to Super about the igloo..lol..I'm sorry :)
IB- We must have been posting at the same time..lol!
Rhonda,
Nothing to be sorry about:) New Moon just ended...if you switch up a few stations, Twilight is on Showtime now.
Eddie just did the spider monkey thing with Bella on this back:)
IB- LOL..I have missed you! You never fail to make me laugh :)
I have missed being here too. I was working on a curriculum presentation I had to give all week and then they cancelled it because of time issues. I guess I am ready whenever they are. Today was another all day cheer competition with daw.
How have you been, Rhonda, my friend?
PL.. I emailed you..Yes, the truth about Vit D is IF people took the proper amount, it would save the US billions of dollars per year in health care costs
RHONDA..I am doing well..a little sore but thats no surprise.
IB..I have finished watching How to Be but hubby is home now so I guess my movie watching has come to an end for tonite...I do so love New Moon..I will watch it tomorrow!!!
IB- I have been really good, thanks. I am talking to someone new right now..we had a lunch date..but I don't see it going anywhere.
Super- Glad to hear that...Speedy recovery :)
I have really enjoyed all of Rob's films so far, and it will be fun to see what he is drawn to in the future as his career continues to develop. Nice post Rose. :)
Have a good night everyone!
Hi Kay!
Be well Super!
Rhonda~Is this the same guy you had the lunch date with last week?
IB- Yes, it's the same guy :)
Well it's nice that you're still in touch.
Things are quiet around here tonight.
IB- It is really quiet. How are the XBOX boys?
Rose~
Great post...I have missed reading your blog. My computer hasn't been working for over a week and I finally got it fixed yesterday and I've been trying to get caught up.
I've seen every movie that Rob has been in except for Curse of the Ring. And I can't wait to see WFE and Bel Ami. :)
I hope that everyone has a great weekend!!
~Lynn
Hi everyone. *waves*
Glad you are safe and sound IB. You have received an amazing amount of snow this winter.
The vitamin D recommendation sounds like something I will try. Thank you Super RN.
You are so kind Rhonda.
Thank you Rose for the wonderful Rob movie retrospective. What a nice Saturday afternoon at the movies posting, complete with beverage of choice. Make mine sangría.
Remember Me, with Tyler, is my favorite of them all. I am anticipating, however, that WFE with Jacob, will become my shining star of a movie.
Really liked Rob as sensitive and thoughtful Daniel Gayle. So many precious scenes. Very cute during the labor and of course the ending.
In the Haunted Airman, there is a moment where he is on the porch when his aunt arrives and he looks up at her with a sweet smile. Oh my goodness, he is "hauntingly" beautiful. (Hated the spiders in that movie though.)
As Dali, he took a brave and bold step. Bravo for Rob during the dinner scene, as Lorca recites his poem, and also, after Lorca's death, when as Dali, he is painting the black canvas while filled with grief and pain.
As several of you have mentioned, Rob has created an Edward that has surpassed our imagination. Thank you Rob and Kristen, for breathing life into these characters, loving them and staying as true to them as you are able.
This whole Twilight experience has been unlike any other I have taken part in. It is such an enjoyable bonding across generations, states, and countries filled with ongoing conversations and fun shared with my family, students, coworkers, friends, acquaintances, and of course the lovely friends here in Roseland. I feel very fortunate to have found your blog, Rose. Thank you for your vision, enthusiasm, dedication,hospitality and generosity.
Thank you fellow Roselanders, each and every one of you, for the friendship and shared love of Rose, and her blog, Robert Pattinson Intoxication. We are a wondrous and varied group of individuals, who have encountered each other in a rather serendipitous way. In addition, it is lovely how our shared love and caring envelop Smitty, Gruff, and Syd.
Hugs. Wish I could invite y'all over for dinner. It would be an amazing evening.
Funny you should ask about the Xbox boys. Tonight my son had his first friend, that is a girl, over instead of the Xbox gang. It was very awkward bc I kept checking in on them. I wanted to be a responsible chaperone.
IB- That's the cutest thing :)
Hi Olivia- I would love to talk to you over dinner :)
Hi Olivia~
Well guys, hate to say this but I am dozing off so I will see you tomorrow~
Goodnight IB
So glad I got to talk with you :)
Hey Rose and Roselanders!
Excellent post Rose! I have all of Rob's movies on DVD (hey Rob's in it, I'll buy it) so whenever I need a Rob fix I'm covered. I am so amazed how much he becomes each character. I don't see Rob I see Art, Toby, Cedric, Daniel, Richard, Dali, Edward, and Tyler. Even from just the bits of WFE and BA I see this continues. It truly is a breathtaking transformation in each movie.
Hands down my favorite thus far is Tyler in Remember Me. The story, the setting (hello NYC gal here) and the so realistic, raw family dynamics. I really hope he and Ruby who played his sis will co-star in another movie, they were amazing together.
I am on the edge of my seat in anticipation for WFE, BA and now Cosmopolis. Rob is really honing his craft and picking such varied roles. The added benefit of being his fan is all the great reading material each role brings. Just got my Cosmopolis book today. So excited he is working with Oscar grade directors, cast and crew. Really shows how much faith the industry has in his talents. Great times ahead for Rob fans to be sure, I feel it will just keep getting better.
Thanks again Rose for this blog and always feeding my own Rob intoxication. May I never get sober ;-)
~Anne
Hugs to you Rhonda and to IB!
Yes Rhonda, wish I could wiggle my nose and gather everyone together for a Roseland dinner.
I also, am off to read a bit. Am finally finishing On the Road. They are in Mexico now and I am curious as to how it ends. I already want to reread several chapters.
Just saw your post nyc. Totally agree with you on Rob's ability to become each character. I am still waiting for my copy of Cosmopolis. Am looking forward to reading it.
Sweet dreams y'all.
Edward made me fall in love with Rob but Tyler inforced that love.:)
I can't wait to see him in WFE, but for now Edward is Rob at his best.
Hi! Roselanders!
Just got caught up on the posts for the last two days. Long work days and had to get out and enjoy 65 and sunny here today.
Really enjoyed todays post! the movie critiques were awesome. Never seen Rob with long hair before. I like the long hair and half beard. My favorite Edward look was Eclipse, but my favorite movie was Remember Me.(went to the theater twice)
Just want to tell everyone this blog is great and the people here are even greater. You all make me smile, laugh, and just feel good. (especially on days when I don't think that is even possible) Like the Beatles say "I get by with a little help from my friends"
Love you all! HUGS all around!
Linda
Goodnight Everyone!
Olivia- I'm reading On the Road right now too. It's a wonderful book. So good to finally talk with you a bit. Like I said, I'm a fan :)
Bye for now....
Good nite Rhonda sorry I missed you tonite
Hey everyone,
Wonderful post, Rose. It`s great to see the many faces of Rob. I'm just back in after a late dinner and drinks, so I'm feeling more than slightly sappy and sentimental, and likely a tad bit drunk, so this post was perfect.
Rob really is lovely (you’re probably not supposed to call a guy "lovely", but at the moment, my brain isn't functionning all that well and it's the word that came to mind. I think you all know what I mean, in any case). It's wonderful to see the progression of his career. And I really do want to cheer him, and Kristen on.
WFE really has me excited, particularly after just finishing the book. I laughed reading the book, because there are two references to ‘spider monkeys’ in it. It was funny, considering that the ‘spider monkey’ reference, followed by Kristen’s giggle, is one of my favourite moments in Twilight.
Any way, I’m going to crawl off to bed. Hope you all have a good evening.
OLIVIA...I enjoyed your reflective post just now..This blog is very special and worth protecting in every way..
Rob Pattinson..I cant get over how WELL he completely "embodies" his characters...and ITS KILLING ME that Bel Ami is taking so long to come out!
FREDDIE...Sorry I missed you..
Nice post Rose, I really would like to see 'Little Ashes' but can't find it here in Holland. Twilight is also my favourite movie for various obvious reasons. I like Rob for choosing movies for artistic reasons and not go down the easy road filling his pockets with big (crap) boxoffice ones. I reckon actually that this guy is just the real genuine article, what you see is what you get, no false pretences. So yeah I like the guy and I'll defend him as hard as I can!
ROSE...Im watching Remember Me and I have now determined why he is soooo cute when he walks and moves..he is what you would call "double jointed" heh..People with that are not really double jointed but their joints are very flexible..the correct term is "hypermobility"...they are predisposed to popping their joints out of place if not careful. There are certain forms of exerise that can makes them less prone to problems later in life....Anyhoooo..sooooo cute!!! Love u Rob!!!OOh, I gotta go..the first love scene is coming up..yikes
Angelica and Liza,
I watched Graham NOrton last night and his guest was a comedienne named Sarah Millican. Apparently, she is from Manchester so now I know what your accent is like.
Don't worry, I am in no way comparing you to her appearance!
Good morning to all!
Rose,
I enjoyed the list of Rob's achievements and it just keeps getting better! I have high hopes for WFE. One I loved the story and you are right, he has never looked better.
I saw this yesterday and think it is one of the best fanvids I've seen. The song is great-Angus and Julia Stone. Hope you all enjoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMlrVhI_6pY&feature=player_embedded
I have never attempted to bring something over,so I hope it works. I am VERY technically challenged.
I feel like a proud mama when I see the great choices R/K are making - professionally & personally.
They deserve every bit of happiness and success that comes their way.
I hope all of Roseland & R/K have a beautiful Sunday!
Morning Penny Sarah Millican is "Geordie"I think, a bit further North than us. My accent is actually closer to Sean Bean. I haven't heard Liza so I'm not sure if she has a typical Cheshire accent or not but if so,it's a lot closer to Yorkshire than Tyneside:)
Super - I know all about hypermobility, that's why I have so many back problems now :)
Angelica,
I admit I did have a little difficulty understanding Sarah, plus she spoke very quickly. She was funny though.
Quite often after we watch his show I have to google something they were talking about because it isn't a term we would use. I love it though because it is so different from our late night talk shows.
Penny, yes they do speak very quickly - Even I have trouble understanding it and quite a few of my friends and 2 of my staff are from that area.LOL
Hello Rose!I'm from GREECE!I like your blog very much!I'm a huge fan of Robert PAttinson and especially ROBSTEN! I believe in ROBSTEN!They belong together!You are awesome!Go on!!!
ANGELICA..Good afternoon to you!!! and everybody else on this morning!!! I am having a movie marathon today while I continue to "recuperate"..lol I am now watching another one of my favorite movies The Lake House with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves
Good morning Roselalnd,
Hope y'all have a wonderful and happy Sunday.
Just in for a moment.
Birdie, thank you for posting the link to the Rob and Kristen vid. I so enjoyed it. The song is a perfect accompaniment to the beautiful, subtle, unspoken glances and touches that radiate the loving and strong connection that they protectively nurture with each other.
Enjoy the day!
Oops, that should be "Roseland". : )
Good morning Roseland.
Birdie - my thanks also for posting the vid. It was beautiful.
Olivia - you have a great facility with words - beautifully put.
Super - I hope you are feeling better. I also enjoyed The Lake House.
Hi Penny and Angelica - hope you are both having a good Sunday morning and afternoon.
Dottie and Rabbit - welcome.
Have a good one Roseland.
Hi Freddie!
Olivia~Sorry I didn't stay around last night. I was so sleepy.
Super~Keanu was my first intoxication. He is very cute!
DK-Hope all is well!
30~How was your night out?
My "Hi Gang!" got cut off somehow:(
So....HI GANG!
Freddie and Olivia,
So glad you enjoyed it.
Olivia, it was exactly as you described it and ditto to Freddie's comment about your writing!
Freddie, I think you have a wonderful way with words, also.
Great post! Love the pics from Rob's movies. Haven't seen Little Ashes, Haunted Airman, or Remember Me. Not sure I want to see RM because I really don't like Emily and the love scenes with her(is that wrong?). Oh well maybe some day I'll get over it. LOVE Cedric-what a hottie!!
Edward is hands down, but WFE will probably be a near death of me!
Hi Birdie~I don't think we've talked bc you are on the night crew. Right?
Hey IB!!!!!
Long time no talk to. How are you? I hope you are well, despite the snow.
As you said yesterday, you have now officially earned the title of the Great White North. We have some snow and are expecting more this week, but I don't think we have anything near what you have.
Sounds like you have been busy despite the weather.
HI IB, BIRDIE and FREDDIE..Now Im watching Youve Got Mail..lol
Very busy! I just have to share a dream I had last night. Who is our resident dream interpreter?
I was at a bar where there was a concert going on. Guess who came on stage? Rob and Kristen! Rob was singing and Kristen was acting out the song he was singing. I was just awe-struck...so much so that I forgot to take a picture. When I finally thought to take a picture, they were trying to get Rob out and away from all the fans and they were pulling him out on a wagon type thing. He was sitting in a cardboard box. The only hole in the box was a rectangle one for his eyes. Really out there! Huh?
So what does that dream mean? Oh, and by the way, I was NOT drinking last night.
Super - it sounds like you are having a wonderful, relaxing day. Hope you are on the mend. Continue to enjoy. You have great taste in movies.....and favourite actors.
IB..thats EASY!! You WANT to meet them..but they are ALWAYS just out of reach...but you can always dream..sometimes dreams DO come true!!! I hope for YOU that all your dreams come true!!
FREDDIE..You and I both have good taste!
IB..Yes K E A N U..love him in Somethings Got to Give which I might watch next..its a toss up between that and Valentines Day..heh
FREDDIE..isnt Keanu originally from Canada???
I have always kicked myself for not going to NYC to the Remember Me Premeire. I would have been able to see both Rob and Kristen!
I know that Keanu is actaually a Hawiian word. I just loved him as Neo in the Matrix movies.
Did you see the Matric moives, Super?
Freddie,
I did tell you that I finished the painting. Now I am after hubby to hang the new curtain rods so I can get the new curtains up! He, sadly, is a put-er off-er:(
Thank you Freddie!
Missed the new post yesterday since I was out having one or six (seven?) drinks. LOL
It was nice to get out with other grown up type people for once in a long while.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Thank you for the welcome, Freddie. It's nice here. Everyone is so positive and supportive of the lovebirds.
SueBee, if you are still here, I keep reading rave reviews of your cookies & hope to try them. Can you remember around what date it was that you posted the recipe? TIA :)
IB..No I have not seen them..sorry for the delay..company came by for awhile...I would like to see alot more of KEANU's movies and I would like to see SPEED again..Right now Im watching "While You Were Sleeping" I have never seen this one before...an old Sandra Bullock movie..
Super~The Matix trilogy is futuristic and all about the machines, meaning computers, taking over the humans. Underneath it all, though, it is a love story between Keanu and his love interest. They did tons of training for the fight scenes etc, just like vampire training and the special effects are magnificent. Mr. Super may like these too. Look into them and let me know what you think.
Dottie
I THINK (not sure) it might have been around October. If you can't find the recipe, let me know and I'll post it for you. :o)
Susan
Freddie, Where did you run off to?
Maybe it was September? Anyone remember?
IB - I'm just back. I ducked out for a couple of hours to do some shopping. I'm hunting all around for a pair earrings to match a necklace I bought - with no luck...
Glad to hear that the painting is done. I'm sure the room looks great as is, but will look even better once you get your new drapes up. I'm a bit of a "put-err-offer" at time as well, so I can't really say too much.
I assume you are back to school tomorrow?
Susan - I think the recipe was posted in early September or even late August. I hope I'm steering you in the right direction.
IB - I think you were saying that you wanted to see The King's Speech. I saw it last night and like others here, I would strongly recommend it. I thought the acting in it was great. Colin Firth is certainly deserving of the accolades he has received to date and will likely receive going forward. I also thought that Geoffrey Rush did a great job as well in a more understated role. Helena Bonham Carter was wonderful as a strong supportive wife. My friend rightly pointed out that there were no CGI effects, no car chases etc, and the movie was carried by the strength of the acting.
I think as a teacher you would really appreciate the story.
Thanks Sue and Freddie. That narrows it down a good bit. I will find it, Sue. I wouldn't want you to have to re-post it. You're sweet to offer, though.
I'll let you know how they turn out. Of course, with 2 teenage boys & a hubby w/a sweet tooth, I'll be lucky if I get a bite of one!
SB~September or October? Either way that sounds like such a long time ago!
Freddie~Yes, I can't wait to see The King's Speech...I wonder if our British friends appreciate it more bc it is about their side of the pond.
Yes, heavy sigh, back to school tomorrow:( I has been a long month!
IB - Perhaps our British friends would appreciate it more because it's their history, but I can tell you that the audience at the show last night must have really liked it because there was applause at the end.
I guess the teaching must be that much harder at the moment given the number of interruptions to the curriculum. I would think it's hard to get the kids to focus right now.
Freddie~Have you done anymore painting for your folks?

IB - No, I haven't done anything further. I offered to book off some vacation time so I that I could tackle the living room/dining room next, but my mom thinks that would be too much. My parents have a split level house, so the living room/dining room runs into the hallway leading down to the ground level and up to the hallways near the bedrooms. I've done it once before, but I think my mom is thinking of hiring a professional instead, given the size of the job. We'll see - I may see if I can convince her to let me give it a try.
In the interim, if I get the painting bug, I have my own hallway and living room that could use a paint job.
How about you - are you planning any other projects?
Thank you so much, Kay! I was just about to start looking for the recipe and... ta da! There is was!!! You are very sweet :)
Projects?? I have a never ending list! My boys were in the same room and my oldest moved into the guest room. He picked out a real nice comforter/sheet set but there were no matching curtains so I will be making them out of a matching flat sheet.
Years ago I bought the tile backsplash for my kitchen bc I thought if I bought it I could wrangle hubby into helping me do it but, alas, it still sits in a box...and there's always painting to do:)
Forgive me,Freddie, I know you have told me but I forgot what you do in the real world. I have a hard time keeping everyone straight. I should keep a Roseland notebook...LOL
IB - in the real world I work in the Marketing department for a market research/consulting firm. We've just re-organized and my new assignment is in evaluating our new investments and in helping to build the business rationale and financial case, then to help marshall the investment through the corporate approval process.
There are more changes to be announced this week, so my assignment might be subject to further change. I'm just waiting to see. It's rarely dull.
Freddie~Wow! I'm impressed...I don't think I could do that...I'll stick with my second graders:)
Rhonda and DK~Are you home yet?
Super~How's the movie marathon going...any updates?
30~You haven't checked in yet either. How was the GNO?
IB - that's a great idea to use the flat sheet for the curtains. It sounds like you're good at sewing. I used to do a fair bit but I confess, I've gotten lazy lately.
Good luck with getting the blacksplash done. I think that is more than I could tackle myself.
You're welcome, dottie...Susan's chocolate chip cookie receipe really is one of the best ones out there! :)
Hi, Rose!!
Really loved the restrospective of Rob's movies, thanks. I've seen all Rob's movies, and really enjoyed all of them...my favourite movie of Rob, so far, is Remember Me...I absolutely LOVE it. I can not wait to see Water for Elephants, Bel Ami, BD and now Cosmopolis...SO many many great things to look foward and I have a feeling that this just will get better and better.
Hi, everyone!!! Hope you are all having a wonderful day!
Hugs to all and take care
IB...heh..Just finished Valentines Day!!!..Please dont think I have been slumming all day I have actually cooked 2 meals, I sweae I did
Oops i meant "swear"
Soup~As long as you felt up to cooking...slumming it after minor surgery is allowed.
Btw, how was Valentine's Day?
IB..It is a "cute" movie...It has alot of stars in it..I think Ive had enough movies now to last me awhile..I had wanted to watch New Moon again today but didnt get around to it.
Super RN...
What a coincidence, I just finished watching Valentine's Day myself. It was cute but I wouldn't say that it was my favorite romantic comedy. That would be Serendipity with John Cusack & Kate Beckinsale. I can watch that movie over and over again. I never get tired of it. If I ever get the chance to visit New York I'd like to stop at Serendipity 3 for a Frozen Hot Chocolate. I'm already a huge fan of their perfume called Serendipitous. It smells so yummy!
Nice post Rose. My favorite movie with Robert in it is Twilight but a really close second is Remember Me. A really, really close second. I have a feeling that Water for Elephants will surpass them both though. I really loved the book. And I have really high hopes for Breaking Dawn Part I too. I have a feeling that it is going to be my favorite of all the Twilight movies. Can't wait for all the hoopla and promotion surrounding it to begin.
Hi Roseland!
Hope everyone had a great weekend :)
Hi! IB,Freddie,Super,Katy,Eclipsed and anyone I missed :)
Hi everyone!
Hope u all had a nice weekend, they go by way too fast though & monday morning is staring u in the face before u know it! Blah!
I enjoy the recipe posts, I never cook or bake but I think I'll be passing some on to my mom to make when I come over! Lol
It appears as if Rob & Kristen were able to have a quiet weekend. I'm so happy that their time in Baton Rouge hasn't been a pap-fest. Its awesome that they can have some peace & quiet and privacy there while working. I only hope that extends to vancouver once production moves. Hopefully they can stay away from the majority of the cast so that they aren't as hounded by the papz by being in close proximity to some of the more famewhorey cast members!
Enjoy the rest of your sunday night everyone! Next sunday is the superbowl! Yay!!
Rhonda,
How was your day?
IB- Hey!
It was good. Not a bad work weekend at all. What about you? Did you do anything fun?
Cheer competition all day with my daughter. Cleaned and stayed in today.
Meant to say that the cheer comp was all day yesterday.
How did the competition turn out?
I've been watching Pretty in Pink.Do you remember that movie?
Lol..
LOL! I was just watching the end of that too! Oh the memories. My daughter is on two teams and filling in on a third for the time being. Of three teams we had a third place, second place and first place. She had a very good day and hit all of her stunts. She is a flyer so she is the one that gets held up/thrown in the air.
IB- Congrats! Sounds like your daughter is pretty good. Has she always cheered?
Well, this is her third year. She is nine so she started when she was six. She is an awesome tumbler. She can back handspring, do a tuck and she just landed her full which is like a twist in the air.
That's cool. Do you have to travel a lot for competitions or is it more local?
Competitions are like half and half. We have been to Atlantic City already this year. We are suppose to go to Maryland for finals this year.
Do you have kids?
No, not yet. But I really love them :)
I have 5 nephews and only 1 little niece.
My youngest nephew loves the Twilight movies and he like to pretend he's Seth Clearwater. LOL..he was mad a me before Christmas because I told him he couldn't howl in public..LOL!
I meant 'likes'..
How cute your nephew sounds.
Having kids~you have a lot to look forward to.
I had two boys, my daughter was our third and last. I wanted more but hubby didin't:(
Well dear Rhonds, 5:45AM comes early so I am going to have to say goodnight!
Good night Roseland, sweet dreams!
To DK, Gwen Birdie and the rest of the night crew....have a good one!
Catch you all on the flip side!
that was suppose to be Rhonda:)
I know..kids are so special. I will be an older parent since I'm already in my 30's..lol..but I definitely want them!
Goodnight IB
I'm getting sleepy too
Talk with you tomorrow :)
Goodnight Roseland
Bye for now..
Monday morning is rising up, and I say hello to you all!
I'll begin with some more Beatles and we'll see what happens on Roseland.
@Bren, Gwen, Birdie, Louisa, if you're around, you'll see I am, too.
Nice to be back, I am wonderful.

For No One
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLYaOhVUbW8
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn’t feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!
Thank you/CapitanArgentario

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true,
I love you more than ever girl I do.
I want you in the morining girl I love you,
I want you at the moment I feel blue,
I'm living ev'ry moment girl for you.
I've loved you from the moment I saw you,
You looked at me 'all you had to do,
I feel it now I hope you feel it too.
Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true,
I love you more than ever girl I do.
I really love you.

Free As A Bird
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ4wqX2tdUI&feature=related
Free as a bird,
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird.
Home
Home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly,
As a bird on wing
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so....
Free -- as a bird,
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird.
Home
Home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly--as bird on wing
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
It always made me feel soooo
Free
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Thank you/aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy)
DK..I see you are back and well..Do you have any good stories for us??
@Super
Hello, so surprised to see you up at this hour. Too much sleep?
Good stories? Had a fab time, got hugs/kisses/shots/burgers at 3am, Broadway musicals sung, which is of course, par for the course, when Dk and Vee, play at birthday times.
DK..I watched movies ALL DAY yesterday and fell out early. I woke up for a bit, went downtairs to get a glass of milk...that will lull me back to sleep shortly..Sounds like the weekend was a success...clothes intact, I assume? heh
@Super
I grant you the right to assume whatever you wish about me!
Good for you! Milk and earlier many movies. I read your comments and really eveyone's, so I am caught up now.
Fascinating discussion of Rob's movies, starting with Rose's post and those from Roselanders. They said it all for me, too.
Rob is an excellent actor. Finis.

From Me To You
Beatles:

If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
I've got everything that you want,
Like a heart that is oh, so true.
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
I got arms that long to hold you
And keep you by my side.
I got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied, oooh.
If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
From me, to you.
To you, to you, to you.

Get Back
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdBnNzQz67A
Sweet Loretta Fat thought she was a cleaner but she was a frying pan.]
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta
Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
[Thanks, Mo! ...on behalf of the group I hope we passed the audition.]
Thank you/DeutschMatheLehrer

Getting Better
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4apO4dbhw
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down, turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.
I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I’m doing the best that I can.
I’ve got to admit it's getting better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can.
I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Thank you/milkcarton27

Girl
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liR9bW5hm2c
Is there anybody gone to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry;
Still, you don't regret a single day.
Ah girl! Girl!
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
Didididi..
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, cool, cool, cool,
Girl! Girl! [Was she]
When I think of all the times I’ve tried to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her.
After all this times I don’t know why.
Ah, girl! Girl!
She's the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there,
You feel a fool.
When you say she’s looking good,
She acts as if it’s understood.
She's cool, cool, cool, cool, Girl! Girl!
Was she told when she was young the pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he’s dead?
Ah girl! Girl! Girl!
Thank you/multivitamins4all

Glass Onion
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvpfM1NDHD0
I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows.
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.
I told you about the walrus and me-man
You know that we're as close as can be-man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul.
Standing on the cast iron shore-yeah
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet-yeah
Looking through a glass onion.
I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me.
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah
Looking through a glass onion.
Thank you/TheQuarrymen58
Hope you liked the Beatles selections for tonight....
I'll be wandering, but if anyone wants me, ring a bell and I'll come back to chat.
Not sure how late I'll make it up to tonight, for the lamplight's been burning steady and the wick is low.
DK
DK... thank you..Each song is a trip down memory lane,isnt it?
Going to try to go back to dream land for a bit...
@Super
Some of the Beatles songs are a completely new revelation to me, and that is so neat!
Rest well....
DK
Wonderful post! Rob is an extremely talented young man. Like you said, he just keeps getting better and better. Highly anticipating WFE, Bel Ami, and future projects. Wish him all the best! I am definately intoxicated for life.
Night all
Hello Everyone!!
I hope you all have a great day!!
Good morning Roseland!
I'm still catching up with Rose's posts and the comments.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Take care all.
We're in for more snow!
Dk-
Thanks for keeping the Beatles songs going! I love them so much!
LOL--my word to verify is undies--lol
Hi all! Hope you are well. Yes, Annie, here too... more snow, well ice and crap too this time I hear. Remember keep the prayers for me all! NO snow Feb 11th! LOL
Hi Manjen,Anni,Smitty,30. Hope you're having a good day so far :)
Hello Angelica, Manjen, 30, Annie, Smitty,
Would you believe 2 days in a row of sunshine? I hope everyone has a good day.
Good morning, manjen, angelica, PL, 30, annie, and of course, Smitty!
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, and is ready to start off the week full of vim & vigor (as my grandmother often says)...
DK, I am soooo enjoying your ongoing Beatles playlist...I can't believe there are quite a few I've never heard (and some I'm just learning the true lyrics to!)...
Loved Rose's latest post...thanks for all of the history of Rob's films...
Hi Roseland!
I was happy to see Melissa Leo win a SAG award last night. She is such a versatile actress. R/K have worked with some amazing people - which is only fitting since R/K are so amazing!
Hope everyone enjoys their day :)
Hi Kenzz - I had a great weekend however,Monday has killed me, I need another weekend :)
Hi Penny - We have sunshine too, it's unheard of at the best of times but January....?
We can't catch a break here in Ohio! There is a winter storm watch for tonight.
At least the sun is out for now.
Hey Dottie, did you get a chance to make cookies?
Susan
Hey Susan! I'm going to the store for ingredients today. Can't wait! Do you use a certain brand of choc chip or does it even matter?
It sure has been quiet this week end. I always take that as a good sign ;)
Dottie
I use Hershey's or Nestle. Make sure you use BUTTER flavor cisco to get the right flavor though.
:o)
Susan
Will do. Thanks again, Susan. Looking at your pic, you're a doll. :)
It's so good to know that there are other people just like me who are "normal"(whatever that is!) but just happened to have fallen in love w/this darling couple... & the couple's trusty side kick! LOL
Thanks, Dottie. That's nice of you to say.
ouh my, Edward strutting through parking lot is priceless!! *thud*
