I don't feel particularly sarcastic today...
It's Tom Sturridge's birthday.
Quite simple, really.
It's pretty obvious
(come on guys)
That I absolutely ADORE Tom.
Absolutely.
So when his birthday rolls around...
Well...
I have to do SOMETHING.
I could put this post into relationship to Robert and Kristen...
Tom's own words about Rob.
"We went to school together, and then we lived together for a bit, so we’ve been friends and more for what feels like our whole lives.
I mean, we are friends. He’s my best friend, and that’s it. He’s like a brother to me, you know? We have the same group of friends, and I’m friends with all of them, not just him.
(pause) I really don’t want to talk about him. It’s just weird, you know? I want to respect his privacy, since he doesn’t have much of it anymore. I mean, I’d do the same for any of my friends."
So what else is there to say?
I hope Tom finds happiness and love
and his day is filled with friends and laughter.
Good people deserve good things.
Tom is good people.
Tom is good people.
One last thing...
I found this picture today.
Tom with a bunny mask.
As in
Cute.
As a
Bunny.
I love and adore you Thomas Sturridge.
Blow out the candles on your cake
and make a wish...
I hope it comes true.
Final Birthday thoughts?
1. Happy Birthday Tom!
2. Happy Birthday Marcus!
3. Yeah... I know I didn't go into my usual
Robert and Kristen always end up together thing...
But
You KNOW they do.
They will.
They ARE.
4. Do I have a four?
5. I'm THRILLED that Rob and Kristen remain
under the cloak of invisibility.
It makes me GIDDY
I love the thought of Rob and Kristen
finding peace and privacy
and being able to spend their holidays together
the way they want to.
Wouldn't that be lovely?
6. Happy Birthday Tom!!
7. I don't seem to have a seven either.
8. It's almost Christmas!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
no matter how you choose to spend your time.
9. Nope... Nothing.
10. This post is brought to you by bunnies and balloons
and birthdays.
and 367 Green Sheep.
Forever.
Happy Birthday Dear Thomas...
Happy Birthday to you.
Bye for now

Thinking of you all during this silent night!
Morning Roseland,
We're on the Christmas countdown, who's ready?
Melinda- We definitely need a chat night after the holidays.
I hope you all are doing well. Have a great Thursday...:)
@Freddie & angelica1
Muse sends you a special hug (along with more hugs out to all.)
The new Bel Ami trailer is trending worldwide on Twitter!
Sleep calls..how sweet it is.

Merry Christmas to all and too all a good night. ;)
Happy Birthday Tom! I hope those pretty blue eyes twinkled extra bright yesterday!
R&K/E&B. It was truly enchanting while it lasted. I don't think fans will have equal replacement soon.
DK - Send Muse a big hug back from me :)
Hi 30 - How are you?
Good morning Roseland!
Happy belated birthday to Thomas Sturridge....,,,,,,hope it was a great day for you.
Take care all! :)

Good morning dear Rose and Roseland,
Wania,
Happy to see that you are safe and sound after the terrible storms in your country.
Bel Ami trailer.....
WOW! First, close my dropped jaw and catch my breath. Next, recover from the near swoon.
This movie looks to be a delicious, decadent and powerful addition to Rob's filmography. So hope that it will be in theatres close enough to all of us so that we do not have to wait for the DVD. Another WOW!
And lastly, loved the dad and daughter pic. So happy for them. Treasure every minute together....time just races by.
Have a lovely Thursday.
Off to work most of the day. Extended hours of course.
Hugs for y'all.
Hugs for Smitty, Gruff and Syd.
Life is good.
I'm not sure if this has been commented on yet...
BUT ARE THOSE NEW SONGS BY ROB???
I think I will die now...
:D
That new trailer? *THUD*
The Bel Ami trailer is soooo good, I can't wait to see the movie. Rob looks absolutely fantastic in it and I bet this one will bring him great reviews.
Oh, and the sex scenes.... finally, some real action, lol, after the absolutely lame and totally disappointing non-existent "sex" scene in BD. That was so f*cking prude it's almost insulting. And embarrassing. Even the sex scene in Remember Me was way hotter, and it was also a PG13 movie. I still can't believe they screwed the most antecipated scene of the saga (sorry Bill, you're really nice, but you screwed the scene. I bet Catherine Hardwicke would have made it fantastic, like she did with that first kiss in twilight). All the enthusiasm I felt for BD2 just vanished (dark and 1 second long, so we can't see shit, vampire "sex" scene? No thanks. Still excited to see Kristen as a vampire tho).
Bel Ami, Cosmopolis and OTR, 2012 looks fantastic already! I'm glad we'll finally see Rob and Kristen on some serious and adult movies, where they can really show their talent. It's sad that we will probably never see them together on a movie like that.
The new trailer is SO good.. I don't want to admit how often I hit replay LOL
Leni - Neither do I lol
HELLO ROSELAND...
OMG...I just watched the new Bel Ami trailer! I hope I make it through the movie! I agree that this movie will be good for his career progression..lol...Soooo MUCH GOOD COMIN in 2012!
JK...I think they had to operate within the ratings system...lol...I was satisfied with the scene...I think it's not the act of making "whoppie" but everything leading up to it. If you want to see f....ing, go rent a porn film...I think R and K have done a wonderful job with that scene...lol...just my opinion...
Super - I totally agree!
Hi ANGELiCA...How are you ? I have had a long day of shopping. I am channel surfing and playing around on my I pad ... Can't decide if I feel like popping in A DVD or whatever!
Super - I've been wrapping and baking. I'm about ready to pass out now :)
Lol ANGELICA...Have a good night! And Merry Christmas...I hope Santa is good to you:)
Angelica- I'm so far behind on my holiday baking, it's impossible to catch up :)
Just popping in to say hi. I hope everyone is enjoying the last minute holiday prep & not feeling too stressed out. I still have a bit of food shopping to do but that's pretty much it. Now if I could just convince my guys that driving around w/their mom at night to look at Christmas lights is fun... :)
Wishing you all peace and joy!
Super, I agree with your take of the BD honeymoon scenes... As I watched BD, knowing my teen daw (who has read the books) would see the movie, it went far enough for MY comfort!!
Just returned from a nite out with friends... sometimes forget how nice it is to socialize "on-the-town"!
Have a fab nite... I will spnd tomorrow wrapping and stocking-stuffer shopping... yeck :(
Happy holidays to the birthday boy, his steadfast admirer and super-blogger, and Smitty & Gruff!
@Super RN...,
You liked the scene, that's wonderful, I'm really happy for you.
But I didn't, and I'm entitled to my opinion, right...? (I guess not, at least around here).
This has nothing to do with me wanting to see them f*cking (which I don't) or even the way it was filmed (I saw the leaked material like everybody else, and it was HOT), but the way it was edited, IN MY OPINION.
I don't think, at all, that a sex scene must be explicit to be sexy and erotic.
Actually, I mentioned the first kiss in twilight, which is one of the most erotic scenes I ever saw in a movie, and it's not even a sex scene! Why? Two actors with a surreal chemistry, it all happens very slowly, we have time to enjoy it and the scene is not darkened, so, we can actually see, clearly, what's happening. And we can hear them, not epic music going on, which makes everything feel so intimate and real. It's a really good and memorable scene, very sensual.
The sex scene in BD is darkened, short and it all happens very fast, it doesn't give us time to actually see it and enjoy it. It's rushed, it looks like that it's there just because it has to be, but it's edited to not be seen clearly, which doesn't make any sense to me, since it was an important scene in the context of the story. This is the only scene that was rushed in the movie (the two sex scenes, Bella seducing Edward), everything else happens slowly and with great detail. To me, it was not a memorable scene, when I saw it in the movie. If you see it slowly and lightened, which I've seen in the gifs that are already circulating everywhere, it's actually very sensual and not explicit at all, that's why I don't understand why it was edited the way it was.
The rating... I don't understand that explanation, because I've seen sex scenes in many PG13 movies way more erotic (and even much more explicit and detailed) than this. Including the sex scene in Remember Me, and Rob and EDR don't have half the chemistry Rob and Kristen have! It's good because of the way it was filmed and edited!
So, yeah, I'm happy that we'll get to see them in movies that, as far as I've seen, will not compromise an important scene in the story for some stupid reason.
It was Edward and Bella's first time, so maybe it was over really quick LOL (joke)
JK You had your opinion and the girls had their too!! So chill out a bit. I liked it cos it had to appeal to a very wide audience. I went with my 13 year old niece and was pleased we could watch it without having to hide her eyes or anything. Remember Me was a completely different thing as it didn't have a fan base already there to put pressure on it's love scenes.
I hope everyone is enjoying the run up to Christmas, I have most of my cleaning done and some of my baking, but I still have all the presents to wrap :0(
Good morning Roseland!
Bella wanted a real honeymoon. Edward was scared he would hurt her because she was human, he with his vampire strength but he promised they would try. Edward feared he would kill her. He didn't kill her but Bella was pretty bruised up ( blissfully happy though)
Personally, I thought the scene was beautifully done,
J.K. - the sex you're looking for is in BD2........Maybe you need to revisit the books.
-----------------------
Hi Ali mac. :)
JK..,, Of course you are entitled to your opinion as We all are ..as long as the criticism doesn't attack the actors on a personal level we are cool...I see after re reading my post it was "lacking" and I Misunderstood where you were going with it. Having read that chapter in the book I was ECSTATIC with the way it came put !!!! People come to the movie with different expectations of course.
Super - Putting aside Edward's concern about hurting her because he's a vampire,I think people also need to remember you have a 17 and 18 yr old virgin,respectively,it's hardly going to be wild,abandoned sex when neither have any experience.It's supposed to be more about the emotion of the moment rather than the act itself,I think they got it right :)
Hi Annie, Super and Angelica.
just popping in midst baking a yule log, it's rolled up cooling. Fingers crossed it doesn't fall apart now when I unroll it to put in the filling. x
I agree about the emotional side of the love scene, I watched an interview where Kristen was saying this was what they were trying to convey and I think they did it well using her memories of what had happened.
Hello too to Super and Angelica.........
Angelica - Exactly right! I hope we can all remember our first time .......NERVES! :)
Happy Eve of Christmas Eve!
I've been catching up on the comments and I just have to add my 2 cents.
As many of you have said, the BD scene was very intimate. It was not ever supposed to be about thrusting and lust. At the risk of sounding cheesy and sappy the whole point was to show their love for each other. There is a big difference between making love and f*cking.
I'm not singling anyone out but it burns my butt when these so-called fans voice their disappointment that they didn't see enough. Some things are more powerful when left to your imagination.
