I don’t see nothing wrong…with the Twilight commentary!

So I did something pathetic last night. I watched the commentary (again!) and wrote down some of my fave Rob quotes. I had to post them for you guys, so we can all laugh and admire how adorable he is. Please don’t judge me!

The moral of this thing is to never trust the guy that plucks his eyebrows. Theres always something suspect.

Im talking to them about how much I hate cookies. Im like, listen guys, have you read the book? We are not supposed to be eating.

"I'm talking to them about how much I hate cookies. I'm like, listen guys, have you read the book? We are not supposed to be eating."

Wow, hes a superhuman moron. He wears lipstick, wears a little buffont and does a circus act.

Girls, it always a game to them relationships. Go around stomping on everyone. Look at this poor guy in the back with his collar up, hes just going to get ruined by women.

I thought I was supposed to have a fake 6-pack in this scene. I thought I was going to have Cam super imposed... Im just a sweaty guy.

Of course, I had numerous other faves, but then what would you all talk about. What was your fave comment during the commentary?


Rob, Where Are You?!? We Need New Pics, STAT!!

So, apparently Rob has gone into hiding. We keep getting all these tips of where he will be…but then nothing! No sex-on-fire hair at the Kids Choice Awards. No shiteous black Nikes on the red carpet of the Juno Awards.

Where are you Rob? Let’s all remember some of the best paparazzi pics of Rob, and hope that we can see some of these again very, VERY soon!

Even that hoodie cant hold back all that sex hair!

And my personal fave paparazzi moment is courtesy of those fools at TMZ. And yet another moment for me to point out another girl that just did it all wrong:


Yep, I’m Awesome (But of course you already know that!)

My blog recieved its first official award from the wonderful, beautiful people over at Twilog earlier this week, and of course, I just knew it was a matter of time. My awesomeness was bound to spread quickly across the internet, and I have, of course, been proven correct.

A part of winning this award is posting your top 5 addictions, which should be easy enough for me:

1. Watching/reading/Googling/obsessing over all things Twilight, then spreading my own opinions about the subject via this blog.

2. Stalking Obsessing Researching all things Robert Pattinson as I continue my plan to slowly, but surely get one step closer to meeting him in real life.

3. Twittering with all of my online friends who share the above 2 addictions, since I can’t seem to find any IRL. (Although, I don’t really try. The annoyminity of the web is quite nice when you can be viewed as just a little too old for above 2 addictions.)

4. Continuing my quest to make my husband into a full fledged unicorn. It started by watching the movie, then all the commentary…now my quest continues to get him to read the books.

5. Reading, commenting and loving all of my blogger friends and their hilarious blogs. Which is why I get to spread the love over to 5 of those blogs right now:

1. Sexy Time with Rob Pattinson

2. Twilight-Headed

3. Letters to Rob

4. Letters to Twilight

5. Lauren’s Bite

Most of these blogs have already recieved this coveted award, but hey, they haven’t got it from me so it doesn’t really count yet. So get out there, enjoy a new blog, and enjoy this Twi-life we have all made for ourselves!


Dreamboat Records officially off my list! They hit it outta the park with the HTB Soundtrack!

Yes, more Robbie goodness on the way on April 28!

Yes, more Robbie goodness on the way on April 28!

Finally, the soundtrack for the movie How to Be is available for preorder from Dreamboat Records. AND even though I was forced to wait for almost a month from the original preorder date of March 1 (which I was none to happy about), I have to admit, they got it right!

Not only do we get 3 new songs from Rob, it’s a 23 track collection (so you actually feel like you’ll get your monies worth), PLUS you’ll get a 12-page booklet featuring song lyrics, new How To Be photos and one of two randomly selected fold-out posters of Robert Pattinson and the cast. And 250 fans will have their booklet poster signed by Rob!!

When Dreamboat left this note for me on my blog, I didn’t realize the really would get it right.:

Hi Amber,

Firstly we’d like to say a big sorry you everyone that the change to the pre-order date was such a pain.

It’s because of the amount of interest from folks like you that we realised there was going to be a lot more demand for the Soundtrack than we initially thought. This meant in order to make sure we could meet demand and exceed everyone’s expectations, that a lot more work had to go into various areas.

There has been no update on the date to make sure this didn’t happen again. I can confirm though that big news is literally days, if not hours away. So do keep up do date with our facebook page or look out for the Dreamboat and How To Be emails that will be coming to everyone who’s signed up.

Take Care

DB xx

So, I’m officially removing Dreamboat Records from my list, because frankly, they now ROCK!! (And, you’ll rock even more if you put that Rob signed booklet in my hand, justsayin.) Just leave a comment and I’ll be happy to forward my name to you to ensure I’m part of that 250!


Seriously, my husband may have turned into a real unicorn

This weekend, I posted a blog about the experience that was my husband

My real life unicorn! (Ribbon has been added to protect the innocent.)

My real life unicorn! (Ribbon has been added to protect the innocent.)

sitting down with me to watch Twilight and ACTUALLY enjoying it. So much to the point that he told me he’d go to see New Moon with me.

Well, things just keep getting weirder for me now…

On Sunday night, we actually watched the commentary together. That’s right. In fact, when I started to watch the commentary without him, he got mad and said I had to turn it off and wait on him.

We watched it all, and he laughed throughout, and said he thought Rob was quite funny during the whole thing. I couldn’t believe it. Then yesterday he said he wanted to watch the rest of the special features (of course, I’ve already watched them all but said I didn’t mind doing it again with him).

AND, to top of everything, he said he wanted to see Little Ashes and How to Be and we should see where they are showing. Seriously, he was on his iPhone Google-ing Rob. I even heard him watch the infamous Jizz in my Pants video.

So, now I’m wondering… Who is this man in front of me and where did my actual husband go?!? Oh, and if your the one that stole my real hubby, that’s fine. I kinda like the new unicorn that lives in my house! He is just awesome!


My Ode to the Sh*tieous Nikes! (Cause I LOVE ‘Em!)

Vampire makeup like that DESERVES a nice cig and comfy shoes!

While looking up more info on New Moon, I came across the set pictures that were posted last week. And then I noticed them… the sh*teous Nikes were back in full force (as if they ever really went away)!

I mean, those shoes must really be the symbol of hotness, as even Taylor has seem to come upon his OWN pair! Or maybe Rob gave them to him to try and help increase his sex appeal for New Moon.

Even Taylor heard how black Nikes ooze sex appeal...too bad that wig does not!

So, I thought it proper to honor these shoes with this awesome video I found. They have made through thick and thin with Rob, and like a fine wine, these shoes are just getting better with age.

Enjoy!

Mad props to veddersgirl for making such a bad ass video!! I <3 you!!


My hubby watched Twilight and he LIKED it!! Score!

Last night, I succumbed and went and bought Twilight at Target (rather than waiting till my preordered one would

Three discs of yummy goodness!

arrive God knows when). We went home, tucked the kiddos to bed, then me AND my hubby both stayed up to watch it. And guess what? After fighting me almost tooth and nail on all the Twilight stuff, my husband ACTUALLY LIKED THE MOVIE!!

Not only that, but he caught on to all the fun stuff that we all enjoy (or hate) about the movie, and said fun things like this:

“Kristen is pretty hot, but why does she keep blinking so much?”

“Did he (Edward) just jizz in his pants?

“So, what does happen when it’s Bella’s time of the month?”

“Man, that was kinda hot.” (in reference to the kiss)

Then after watching the movie, he actually WANTED to watch the extended/deleted scenes. And we watched them all, plus the vampire kiss montage (which, we both said WOW too!) and Rob’s piano scene.

But the BEST part of the night happened after we went to bed. NO, not that!! He just asked me all kinds of questions about Twilight, things like how the vampires were created and where the next books were going. He won’t read the books, but that’s just because he doesn’t read, but I think he is one step closer to understanding it all.

So, this blog is dedicated to my hubby for at least trying out Twilight, and then realizing that you don’t think its that bad of a movie. AND I will take you up on the promise to see New Moon with me!!

And one more thing, because we had such a long conversation about the “jizz in the pants” scene, I’m dedicated this video to you!


Today is a Holy Day… So I’m Not Posting a Blog!

Since I worked 13 hours yesterday and stayed up late Twittering about the Twilight DVD release (which, I do not even own yet UNLESS you count the one somewhere between here and Target HQ), I am not feeling the whole “creativity” thing. So, let us all celebrate Twiday with some fun videos!

IT’S ROBERT PATTINSON BITCH!

AND THE SEQUEL!!

Thanks to JBell for finding these and posting to Twitter!!


Guitar Hero Returns to my House!

To celebrate the return of our Xbox 360 (after it suffered the three rings of death and had to be shipped to get fixed) and, more importantly, the return of Guitar Hero World Tour, I have to post this video of my sweet little Robbie. He’s trying so hard to play Rock Band, and this is further proof that just because you can play guitar doesn’t mean you can play Guitar Hero (or vice versa, unfortunantly for me).

I love this video for numerous reasons.

1. We get to see that adorkable side of Rob, which is soooo endearing!

2. The lame ass girls who don’t even seem to realize all the hotness sitting right there with them.

3. The way he starts to just make it up when he doesn’t get it (cause that is soooo what I would do).

And once again, similar to the GQ fangirls who screwed up their big opp, these girls missed their own opportunity to help “show” him how to play. The girl in the green shirt started to get there, but she didn’t quite get it right. She should have reached over, hands on his hands, helping guide him…. But I digress.

Guitar Hero is back in my house, and its good I’ll have something to keep me busy till my Twilight DVD finally arrives next week!


The Hunger Games Being Made into a Movie?

One of the most recent discoveries I’ve made reading is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. A really amazing book,

The Hunger Games...great book that could make for one interesting movie.

The Hunger Games...great book that could make for one interesting movie.

another book meant for teens but I was completely immersed in the story. However, unlike books like Twilight, this book has some edge, some definite teeth if you will.

After reading, my initial thought was that it could never be a movie. Not becuase I didn’t dig the story or think it would play well on the screen, but this a teen novel that could not be made into a teen movie. Then today, I see that Lionsgate Studios has purchased the rights to turn this book into a movie. This is what Lionsgate President of Motion Picture Production, Alli Shearmur had to say:

“THE HUNGER GAMES is an incredible property and it is a thrill to bring it home to Lionsgate. This is the exactly the kind of movie I came to Lionsgate to make: youthful, exciting, smart and edgy. We are looking forward to working with Nina and Suzanne to create a movie that satisfies audiences’ hunger for high-quality entertainment.”

The book, which is the first in a planned trilogy, imagines a future where North America has been divided into 12 oppressed districts, each of which is forced to send tribute in the form of a boy and a girl to compete in a televised battle to the death once a year. “Hunger” involves a young love triangle in the context of a dark, “Battle Royale”-type scenario playing out on reality TV, much like Stephen King’s “The Running Man.”

I’ve seen some push back to the announcement, with concerns about whether the movie will be able to show the main character, Katniss’s, emotions correctly. She often plays to the cameras and seems to just be showing what she thinks the audience wants to see. It may be hard to get into her head.

Personally, I don’t see that as the biggest issue. For example, Twilight was a lot in Bella’s head, and while the movie is no where near as good as the book, I think they did the book justice and put together a pretty good adaption. Good enough for me to be obsessed with it.

My biggest concern is the brutality of the games. There is so much death…the cornucopia scenes, the final death scene, and they are not pretty deaths by any means. So, if as Lionsgate says they are wanting to make a youthful movie, I’m concerned they won’t be able to really encapsulate how disgustingly realistic the deaths are in the book and keep it youthful. I’m sure they’ll aim for a PG-13 rating, which just seems so impossible to me.

Maybe I’m wrong. The movie could be awesome, and I’m sure I’ll be one of the first in line to watch it. And it helps that Collins is writing the screenplay. Definitely makes me feel better.

I will eagerly await the casting. And I promise I will not start any petitions (aka Rob Pattinson as Edward).

And of course, this post would not be complete without a fanmade trailer. See if you can spot the Twilight crossover!
