Casting Twilight

Here I am again. I guess my Robert Ramblings just never go away, do they? Um...no.

Rob is on his 3rd cover of EW this week. Amazing. This is why I subscribed to the magazine a few months ago. For some bizarre reason, EW isn't that readily available around here. But anyway, this post is about the cast of "Twilight".

For the most part, I think the cast is well done. Well, even though Kellen had to dye his blond hair black for Emmett. And Nikki Reed had to dye her brown hair blond for Rosalie...etc. I thought the Cullens were well played. The only cast member I seem to have issue with is Taylor Lautner...who portrays Jacob Black. Don't get me wrong. I think Taylor is PERFECT for Jacob in "Twilight". I really do. I mean, Jacob is 16, outgoing and friendly...a buddy for Bella. Taylor fits that bill wonderfully.

BUT. I don't think he can pull off the hot, sexy, HUGE wolfman that appears in "New Moon" and the following books/movies. Jacob in the next movie has to be enough to make Bella...stop in her tracks...and wonder if she has a future with him. OK, I know her one true and ultimate love is Edward...but she DOES fall in love with Jacob. She does actually picture her future with him. For anyone to have any chance in hell of Bella even pondering for one second, a life outside of Edward...he has to be fucking AWESOME. I mean...steamy, sexy...powerful. Sorry, but that's not Taylor. Taylor is cute and charming...but steamy sexy? No. I dunno. Taylor cannot come close to competing with Robert. I mean...in "Eclipse", Bella is basically torn between two lovers for a bit...and honestly, who in their right mind would believe that of Taylor? He's just too much of a boy to be thrown in with Robert...who is...OBVIOUSLY...all man. Jacob Black is a very important character in the Twilight series. The 3rd side of the triangle. You gotta get it right or it just won't work. Maybe I'm underestimating Taylor...but he will have to grow a few inches...and...um...get sexy hot in a few months. I don't see that happening, folks. Sorry.

Oh yeah. I'm kinda going through a "Twilight" withdrawal. I've seen the movie 2 times so far. And my goal is at least 5 times...but maybe more. And because of this holiday weekend (damn Thanksgiving!) I am going to have to wait until Monday, to see the movie again. For now I am partially satisfied with the Robert interviews and all the movie clips that I have on my computer.

But...Monday Monday...hurry up and get here.

Poor Robert.

Do you think that once the 'hype'

surrounding "Twilight" dies down, that Robert will get some peace? I don't know. I'm thinking that now that he is a known commodity, the paparazzi will always be following him around. The sickening gossip magazines are talking like Rob is headed for a nervous breakdown or something. I seriously don't think that will happen. He is so grounded, he has his family and friends, and even after all this hoopla...he doesn't take himself too seriously. If anyone can handle it, I think its Robert.

I understand that with fame and money comes the fucking paps...and as much as I love to look at pictures of Robert, I don't like seeing the ones where these photographers are hassling him, chasing him, and making him looked seriously annoyed. Remember the scene in the restaurant, where Edward tells Bella.. "I feel protective of you". That's how I feel about Robert. I want to shield him from all the bullshit that is out to get him. I want to make sure that he is OK. That he is safe. That he is happy. I honestly think he will get some peace when he goes back to England. I know that its a big deal there, as well...but Rob will have his family there...and he will know where to go to stay anonymous if he wants to. He just needs some breathing room before his next movie starts (which sounds like in January)...and then with "New Moon" in March. Oh Robert. Please take care of yourself. Don't let anyone mess with who you are. I'm glad that at least Kristen will be with him on the European press junket. He needs to do this with someone, to share the madness with.

I'm so worried about him. I just want to give him a hug. (((Robert)))

Twilight~ The Movie part 2

OK.

I went to see "Twilight" again.

Yes. Two days in a row. This time I went to see it on an "ULTRA SCREEN" which just means it was a massive screen. Excellent.

Guess what? I still love the movie. I still couldn't take my eyes off of Robert. I still love him.

A couple of things came to mind...

1. Why is Victoria at the prom? Wouldn't Edward 'smell' her there? I get that they want to carry her vengeance into the next movie...but at least make it realistic. And why is she there...but not Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett? Wouldn't it have been just a bit more fun to see the Cullens all dressed up? I don't understand that omission at all, unless it was just budget related.

2. The picture seemed 'dark' to me. Not dark like scary...but dark like...not bright. A lot of the scenes were so dark, it was hard to see clearly. WTF is that about? Trying to carry through a theme? I wish I could have seen some of the scenes more clearly. I doe know. (as Rob always says)

3. Oh yeah, I love the movie. And I probably will go see it again next week, after Thanksgiving and all the kids go back to school. When I went today, I bet there was maybe 6 people in this massively huge theater. Awesome. BUT. For some strange reason half of the people there were like...OLD men? Seriously. One guy came in by himself, had to be in his 60s...and then 2 more came in later...together...and in their 60s as well. I mean. WTF? Old men watching "Twilight"? Who da thunk? Kinda creepy to be honest. Like they were there hoping to stake out the tweenies or something.

4. I love everything about Robert Pattinson. You know the drill. His looks are only part of it. His personality, his wit, his modesty...his charm. He smokes, and that's not a good thing (for him) but at least it lets me know he isn't perfect. Although he is damn close.

5. I love "Twilight". I love Robert.

Twilight~ The Movie

Well, I've finally seen the movie. Yes. What were my impressions...let's see.

1. There were less than 15 people in the theater. Excellent. Although why is it that in the empty theater...the person who talks the most and chomps on her popcorn the loudest...manages to sit behind me?

2. Seeing Robert so large and beautiful onscreen. He takes my breath away. Literally. I'm hyper ventilating just writing this. I'm totally in love.

3. I loved the movie. I have read a lot of negative reviews, but if you are a fan of the books (and a fan of Roberts) you will have loved this movie, too. How can you not? 2 hours of Robert. I don't care if he just sat and read the phonebook. It would have been worth it.

4. The casting was well done. Billy Burke as Charlie was outstanding. It was all good.

5. OK, so some cool parts of the book didn't make the movie. And they changed some stuff around. But. It is a movie after all. And like it's been said, 500 page book into a 2 hour movie some things have to go. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of Edward...dazzling Bella. And Bella losing all train of thought and forgetting to breathe (which I did on more than one occasion).

6. Did I say that Robert Pattinson is the PERFECT Edward? Well, I think he is. BRILLIANT. PERFECTION. Oh yeah, I totally love him.

7. All in all, I loved the movie. Even though I felt like I had seen most of it online. But it was wonderful to see it on the BIG SCREEN. I couldn't take my eyes off of Robert. I didn't want to. Why would anyone?

8. I'm totally in love with Robert Pattinson.

9. I'm pretty sure I'm going to see it again, tomorrow.

10. I'm totally in love with Robert Pattinson.
