Ooooh delish!!!

Robert Pattinson Gets Chased By Paparazzi Slime

Holy crap. I don't usually post stuff like this because I feel like I'm contributing to the madness. But this time I WANT to. I WANT people to see how relentless and DANGEROUS these parasites are. He's asking them to go away because he has a hard time DRIVING while they're driving up close to him and cutting him off and running stop signs, trying to get a photograph. It's unreal. Actually, it's not, unfortunately. (Two words: Princess Diana). And he's right; they've got a million pictures! You got what you wanted - now GO AWAY. You KNOW they were hoping he'd hit them or grab their camera or something. And did he? No way. What a class act. Honest to god - Robert Pattinson is heads and shoulders above so many other actors in that regard. He's a nice guy. Show some integrity and leave him alone.

Breaking Dawn (but not placenta)

OK so isn't THIS an interesting little Pop Sugar interview with Melissa Rosenberg.... Complete with the following commentary regarding what we will and WILL NOT see in the birthing scene:

The childbirth — all the scenes, I feel — should be on screen. I think perhaps what I was referring to was, would we actually see Edward's teeth through the placenta? I don't think so. I don't think we need to see that, and if someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that. [Laughs.] I believe it will be implied, but I don't think we'll see teeth in the placenta. 

Frankly... I don't know how I feel about that. I mean - Do I want to see Rob Pattinson's face all full of reproductive lady gunk? Um, no. But... do I want it to be DAMN WELL IMPLIED what he did to save Bella? Abso-effing-lutely. 

I also found the following to be a VERY interesting quote regarding Kristen Stewart and what she'll have to do once Bella is no longer human:


I think seeing Bella as a vampire and her adjusting to her powers and embracing them, those are all really fun scenes to write. Particularly when you picture Kristen Stewart playing her, and the way she's embodied Bella as a sort of awkward, fidgety persona. When she turns into a vampire, all of that goes away.


Well.... now... isn't that interesting??? Kstew is going to be expected to be NORMAL once Bella turns. No breathing heavily... no worried eyes... no staring straight ahead as if at nothing when looking at Edward. (But not straight into his eyes... we know that's not possible.)  That alone will be worth the price of the ticket (most likely $20 by the time the damn thing comes out)... definitely.

Fun with Eclipse!

So Jenn D was visiting from Erie over the weekend (we're not WORTHY, oh subject of PFach's Tweets!) and of course we had to see Eclipse again to produce some new blog fodder.  And we made some interesting observations (which Jenn refers to as "Mega Eclipse Blog Points" which I thought was pretty dang amusing) regarding everyone's favorite Twi-film:


1.  The wigs.  LORDDDDDD THE WIGS!  What the hell HAPPENED in Eclipse?!  Have you noticed that not only does Kstew wear a wig, but she wears multiple wigs. They are:

* Christian Rock Wig (borrowed from Jacob)
* Pageant Wig (very full, wavy and 80s)
* Wednesday Adams Wig (flat-ironed on the top and sides)
* Victoria's Secret Wig (wavy but not quite as big as Pageant Wig)


I'll have to see it again to remember when each wig was worn... but I do know the Pageant wig was from the last scene in the meadow. It was like Ken Paves came in and said "Quiet on the set, people! I need to CREATE!"

Then there is Carlisle's horrendous lemon, yellow wig... and Rosalie's "perfectly quaffed but still obviously a wig" wig.  And lord... why didn't they dye her eyebrows to match?!

2.  Rob Pattinson is like the light from the arc of the covenant in Indiana Jones. At one point, during the "bed scene",  Tracey says to me "Kristen doesn't even look into Rob's eyes" to which I reply "Dude he's ROB PATTINSON. No mere mortal can look him directly in the eyes."

3. Robstank. While discussing the aforementioned RPattz, Jennifer decides she thinks he smells lovely. I then remind her about Catherine Hardwicke's commentary about him picking up his buddy's shirt off the floor and wearing it to an awards show, after said buddy wore it drumming at a gig the night before. Jenn proceeds to tell me that even if Rob smelled "musky and spunky" she would still love him. I cannot remember the last time I giggled so profusely.

4.  Why don't they ever let Esme talk?

5.  Carlisle's New British Accent.  Lorddddd the accent!  Why don't I remember quite such an over-the-top accent from Twilight or New Moon?  They're creating an AHHHHHMY! What is THAT all about?? That must be the new direction. Not that I don't like it. I am just not used to Carlisle from Yorkshire. It's funny because I said I couldn't remember where Carlisle was from.. and asked if he was from Italy. Jenn then said "Italy? Hello?! His NAME is CARLISLE CULLEN!" I had a giggle fit at this and almost drove off the road.

6. Rosalie Cullen. Mafia Princess.  Seriously. Tracey was giggling during Rosalie's little Royce story because Nikki Reed is from NYC... and Tracey thought it came through loud and clear.  I had to tell her to pipe down because the people a few rows behind us might get upset. And please - again - DYE HER EYEBROWS to match her (bad) wig!

7. Action Figure Cullens. You have to LOVE that scene where they're waiting for the fight - clad all in black - waiting for Victoria's minions. And then the wolves all jump into the action and it's way cool... and Tracey says to me "how do the wolves know which vampires to kill?" to which I reply "the Cullens are all wearing their black, action figure suits. The wolves will know."

And Jenn D wants to know why the wolves don't have any "junk". And how they all show up clad in their denim manpri's when none of them tie their shorts around their legs like Jacob did in the book. And don't get me started on Leah. Somehow she's able to produce a shirt and bra out of thin air.

I HAVE SEEN ECLIPSE!

Went with my Twi-Buds, Jenn and Shannon. My apologies to my friends who haven't seen it yet. We realized last minute that we had an open window - and ran with it - which is a necessary evil when you have young kids who need babysitters. The husbands are home to watch 'em? "GO GO GO!" (yelled like a S.W.A.T. team outside Tony Soprano's house.)

Anyway - I have every intention of going back - so just say the word, and I'm there.

OK - Here is my synopsis: 

I. Loved. It!!!  SO much. To the point where I had tears in my eyes during the credits - because I was so happy it was so good. David Slade is a god ("no God").  I was pretty sure of this going INTO the film....but was convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt when I came out. It was beautiful. And it truly worked.  Here's how good it was:  My favorite parts of the book were NOT in the movie... and yet... I loved it. How's THAT for good direction???

So many comments... so little time...

Credit where it's due:

KRISTEN STEWART WAS GREAT!  She hit it right out of the ball park. No sniveling...no loud breathing...no whining. Just Bella. A little down in the dumps and in desperate need of a laugh once in a while... but just Bella. And she doesn't a) write the script or b) direct  - so I have nothing but love for her today. Nothing but love.

JACKSON RATHBONE WAS BEYOND!  He was awesome. I have been waiting for 3 films for that man to get his comeuppance... and boy does he in this film. He looks great - his acting is superb (I think I cried for him at one point) and he is just a star in the making. It's wonderful to watch.

JULIA JONES aka Leah Clearwater. The GREATEST casting in the history of casting. She was FANTASTIC. She made me happy to have read an entire series of Twilight books. She restored my faith in the bringing life to these characters. THAT'S how good she was.

XAVIER SAMUEL - holy crap, kid. Where'd YOU come from??? Talk about seeming like a seasoned professional. Hollywood better not eff this up. This kid is a star.

I have to see the film again (and see it again, I will), because so much of it has left my brain already... but a few of the odder things I do remember:

Ugh. Carlisle. Poor Carlisle. What have they done to you, my lemon-haired friend? Why have they turned you into a caricature with a bad Madonna-esque British accent?  Who stole my beautiful Carlisle and left Liberace in his place?! Why?? WHY?!?! (screamed like Nancy Kerrigan.)

The Cullens - waiting for Victoria and standing in formation like the A Team. What was that all about?  I guess it was done to make the guys happy. That's the only reason I can possibly attribute to that weirdness.

And speaking of Victoria. All I can say is a big, fat MEH!  She was horrible!!! No offense to Bryce Dallas Howard because she's a great actress. But she was SO miscast. She was way too cute to be Victoria. An the wig was so god awful, I didn't know what to do with myself. Rachelle Lefevre was robbed... and moreso the AUDIENCE was robbed of her beautiful portrayal of such an evil character. It didn't work at all - but would have been golden with Rachelle. Epic Summit FAIL.

That's it for now. Until 15 minutes from now when I think about something new. See y'all soon!

Friggin Twilight

Since I live at the Jersey Shore - and am 1/2 Italian,  I have never warmed up to these kids; until now. This. Is. HYSTERICAL. Go Team Snooki.
