We totes made eye contact. It was a beautiful thing.
Okay, so Thursday was kind of a boring day. There was only one super awesome moment where we were standing in the lobby of the hotel, gawking at the crazy Twihard surrounding us. I pulled out my video camera to tape all of the 2nd hand embarrassment around me and before I could even turn it on I noticed a good looking guy in a sport coat walking toward us. I was nudging everyone and was like, “It’s Sam. It’s Sam.” NO ONE else in the lobby noticed him, and when he walked by we all gave a friendly little “Hi Sam.” No fangirling, no screaming, just calm and cool. He said “Hi” back to us and continued on his way. However, once he got a fair distance away, we did fangirl a little. I was trying to tweet and my hands were shaking. SHAKING! Definite high point of the day! By the way, I didn’t video any of it because I was all caught up in the swooning over Sam, to the point that I didn’t realize the guy walking with him was Marcus. Major fail on my part!
The registration lines were ridiculous and my fears that the organization before the convention would show how horribly organized the actual convention was were all confirmed. We stood in line for like an hour for registration and did not get registered before the first event. The opening session was a joke, although I will say that the Hillywood Cast emceed part of it and they were adorable. Especially Jasper! I posted that here for you guys:
Christian Serratos was out and about in the vendor area, and she a teeny tiny little thing that looks like if the wind blows the wrong way she will break. She was getting some kind of Twilight arm paint thing and when I tried to take a picture, her entourage siad “No pics!” I wanted to tell them to get over it cause she ain’t no Rob, but I was nice and instead flirted with the bassist to 100 Monkeys opening band to see if we can get word where Jackson was (we did not!).
I am very much hoping for a more exciting day tomorrow! We have 2 concerts, including Bobby & Marcus as well as 100 Monkeys. It’s going to kick ass, and now that I have my bearings, I will try and be better about the tweeting and blogging. Look for more videos, too!
As most of you may already know, I will be at Twicon in Dallas, TX from today through Sunday. Twicon is a massive fan organized convention, and while it has nothing on the star power of Comic Con, it will be a great time to meet up with so many of my online friends and act like complete nerds for the next 4 days.
Like any good blogger and attendee, I have set certain goals to achieve whilst at Twicon. This way, when I think I haven’t humiliated myself enough I can just look at this list and see what is left to cross off!
Find Rob at All Night Show, get him into his Drunk Rob state, show him the way behind the dumpster. (Okay, I know Rob is not supposed to be there, but I hold false and unrealistic expectations. Don’t ruin it for me!)
AND THE BIGGEST GOAL! Have tons of fun with all my Twitter friends who will officially become my real life friends. Woo hoo!
Cause every post needs a hot picture of Rob...
Okay good fangirls and boys! You know you want to be a part of the action and live the entire Twicon experience vicariously through me. Here is what you need to do to keep up…
1. Follow me on Twitter.
My Twitter peeps will get everything first, and probably some stuff that will never make it to my blog. If you are not already following me, then do it now. I am @AmberRMW and I promise you won’t regret following me even after Twicon. Yep, I am that awesome.
2. Watch for updates on my blog!
Here is how the blogging for the next 4 days will work. I am going to have one main post for the entire day. So, for example, I will have a Thursday post later today. All Thursday stuff will go on the Thursday post. On Friday, I will start a new Friday post. This will be easiest for me (since some updating will be done from my phone) and also for my international friends who will be asleep most of the time I am at Twicon. Of course, it all goes back to #1. If you follow me on Twitter, I will let you know when I update the daily post. Also, the best way to never miss a post EVER is to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you don’t use Google Reader to keep up with your Robbie news, you are really missing out!
3. Subscribe to the Rob My World YouTube channel.
I have a little mini video camera. While it’s not the best camera in the world, it’s light and easy so I plan to take plenty of video. All of it will be posted to my Rob My World YouTube channel and the only way to be sure you won’t miss any vids is to subscribe. I will, of course, tweet when I add new videos, but it is likely that not all the videos will make it to my blog.
I am so looking forward to this and I hope you guys are able to enjoy it as much as I am!! Please share, share, SHARE this information with any other Twilight fans you may know! And if you are going to be at Twicon, look for me! Not sure how to identify myself, so just approach every blonde and ask her if her name is Amber, ‘kay? Eventually you will find me!
You know, it takes some really big news for me to break away from the Rob mold. But it happened today. Summit is recasting the role of Victoria in Eclipse, replacing Rachelle Lefevre with Bryce Dallas
NOOOOO!!! Don't go Rachelle!! Robbie will miss you!! (And me too, of course!) Thanks JBell for the pic.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Bryce Dallas Howard is joining the “Twilight” franchise.
The “Terminator Salvation” star will replace Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria, according to Summit Entertainment, which produces the vampire film series based on the books by Stephenie Meyer.
“We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise,” Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions, said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “Rachelle brought ‘Victoria’ to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role.”
Summit said Rachelle would not be continuing on as Victoria, an evil vampire out for revenge over the death of her lover, due to scheduling conflicts.
Bryce, the daughter of director Ron Howard, will take over the role beginning in “Eclipse,” the third installment in the “Twilight” series.
“Eclipse” begins filming in Vancouver this coming August, Summit confirmed. The film will be released in theaters on June 30, 2010.
I just can’t understand why a scheduling conflict with a NON main character cannot be worked out. Perhaps you all remember that Cam Gigandet was also filming another movie during Twilight. All of his scenes were filmed first in order to get him on to his next movie. Please Summit, explain why that couldn’t happen? While Victoria’s role is pivotal in Eclipse, her onscreen time is still pretty minimal. All of her scenes could be shot up front and Rachelle could hop off to her next movie, just like Cam. She does not have to go!!
Mmmmm... Rob from the "B" side. Thanks to JAG for pointing this little beauty out to me!
Most of us have been riding the “Rob Pattinson Bandwagon” for awhile (haha, riding), but now I am starting to notice that more and more female celebs are jumping on the bandwagon. Just in the past few days, in the wake of Comic Con, I’m starting to see the love for Rob grow amongst women who, frankly, probably stand a better chance then me. And that makes me Sad Amber.
Who is the latest victim of the Robsession? None other than Jennifer Love Hewitt. First off, I love this because of the link to Peter Facinelli (You know, Can’t Hardly Wait, and if you don’t, well then you are banned from my blog!), but also because she is like a real fangirl. I can quite honestly see her elbowing her way through some tweenies to get a little hug from Rob.She may be a little too much into Edward versus Rob, but it’s cool.
Check out her interview with MTV where she admits her love for Twilight and she wouldn’t mind playing “the vampire who carries Robert Pattinson’s luggage in the airport.” Too cute. Uh, by the way, me neither. How about you take the luggage and I’ll continue to vie for my position as umbrella girl.
Click to Watch!
So, now that I know that Jennifer is a fan, I want to take a moment to personally welcome her to my blog. I know she reads it cause, duh, all the best Rob fans read my blog. True story.
And, did you catch that? While she is kind of sort of pretending that she is pleading for a part, really, she is pleading for a part. There are some female vampire roles opening up soon. Hmmm, wonder if Summit is watching? Sounds like she’d do it for free. In fact, Summit, if you are reading, I’ll do it free. I mean, you’ll get what you pay for *coughTwilightcough*, but hey, free is free!
What do you ladies think about the latest celeb to profess her love for Rob and Twilight? I kind of like Jennifer, so I think it’s cute. Could you see her doing any of the upcoming female roles? Maybe Irina?
First off, let me preface this entire blog with this one little fact. This is a rumor. There are lots of them, especially about Rob. Don’t take it too seriously. I am not.
Apparently, there is a little rumor going around that Rob may be approached to play the yet-to-be named villain in the Spiderman 4, which is due out in 2011. Rob vs. Tobey Maguire, could be interesting, but I personally don’t see it happening. Rob’s plate is pretty full as is and more probably can’t be added, at least for a little while. But, this is an interesting story more so because apparently no one even knows what villain will be in the next movie.
So, taking this little rumor about Rob, I scrolled through and decided which villain out of the ReelzChannel’s Top 10 Villians Rob would be best suited to play.
But you gotta jump if you want to see who it is…Continue reading
For those of you who don’t know, I live in the very middle of the United States, and I mean the middle. So, I always say the chances of me meeting Rob are probably slim to none cause I’m not in LA, New York,
The more I look into these eyes, the more I see myself driving to New Mexico.
London or anywhere near Vancouver and probably won’t be anytime in the near future. Collective sigh of sadness. *sigh*
The Deccan Herald has brought forth an article with some very interesting and exciting news about one of Robert Pattinson’s upcoming projects, Unbound Captives. Up to this point, we have heard little about it, but this article gives quite a few specifics regarding the project. According to the Deccan Herald, Unbound Captives is set to be shot at the end of 2009, and will be released in 2011. The report is mainly about Ashok Amritraj, the producer of Unbound Captives and his excitement about the fact that this will be his 100th production.
“It will be a big epic in the scale of Laurence of Arabia, and Stowe’s first effort at direction. John Toll of Braveheart and Last Samurai will be the cinematographer. It’s probably the biggest in scope and scale among all my films, and will have a budget of 80-90 million dollars,” he says.
The Unbound Captives set is going to be too beautiful to handle, as the film will be shot “between” New Mexico and New Zealand as the subject demands shoots in different seasons.
Why would this news excite me so? First off, this is the first bit of news we have seen in a long time about Unbound Captives. And I mean a LONG time. The last news led me to do a lot of thinking about Rob in a loin cloth. It was beautiful.
But the biggest piece of deliciousness…Rob will be in New Mexico! Let me break this down for you so you can understand the awesomeness of this.
Me ——-> Los Angeles = 1,332 miles
Me ——-> New York City = 1,447 miles
Me ——-> Vancouver = 2,182 miles
Me ——-> New Mexico = 472 miles
Okay, now THAT is manageable. Rob will be a mere 6-7 hours away from me. Now, what does this mean? I may or may not be foreseeing a trip to New Mexico some time towards the end of the year. Go hit all the typical locations, you know, seedy bars, dumpsters, the usual. What do you guys think? Am I a wee bit crazy for even thinking this? Or is this line of thinking TOTALLY NORMAL?
Mmmm…. It’s so late at night and that’s when I find the best stuff for my blog! This video just made my night and the song is perfect. Enjoy this with your morning cereal and coffee!
More videos from this awesome video maker after the jump! Continue reading
So, are you completely over Comic Con yet? Well, I don’t care. I’m going to make you relive the entire day over again, but I promise that it will only be the best parts. Cause I am awesome like that!
First on the Comic Con plate are all of MY favorite pictures! Surprise, surprise, they are all of Rob!
What is all this craziness? Everyone thinks Amber is here, but she is not. I would know!
Of course, if any of you tried to watch the live stream of the press conferenced (which by the way was a total fail and never happened), you know the frustration that I experienced! Anyway, here is the whole thing for you to love and enjoy!
The New Moon panel was not live streamed like the press conference was supoposed to be, but lucky for us G4′s Stephen Johnson did a live blog and tried to explain through words what he was seeing. We got some great lines like:
“Fan to Rob: Would you ever do open-mic nights for music, ever again? Rob: Yes. I’d love to do it again. It’s good for your soul.”
“Robert Pattinson says machines do his acting for him. Hmm.”
“Fan: Question for Robert Pattinson: Are you going to do any comedy in the future? Rob: I’m not that funny… I can look like an idiot, but I don’t know if I can be witty.”
Read the entire blog here. This was all we had. It was kind of sad, but I guess better then nothing. Kinda wish a female had been writing it. She would have explained all the important parts better, like the clips. Luckily, Rotten Tomatoes summed them up perfectly!
Clip #1
Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) are bent over an antique light blue motorcycle. Jacob wears jeans, a brown t-shirt, and his hair is long. As Bella sits on the motorcycle, Jacob guides her hands (touching!) over the handles. “Brake. Clutch. Gas,” he reminds her. Bella revs the engine. “Slowly release the clutch,” says Jacob.
Suddenly, Bella sees the translucent apparition of Edward, a concerned look on his face, standing in front of her. We can see him, but also see through him. Bella takes off on the bike.
As she zooms down the road, Bella gains speed. She zooms by another apparition of Edward, standing in her path. She speeds by another. Losing focus, Bella swerves and falls from the bike, hitting her head on a rock.
Jacob speeds over to Bella on his own bike, coming to a stop with a flourish. He hops off the bike and rushes to Bella’s side. She is bewildered, and blood gushes from a gash on her forehead.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Jacob asks. Bella apologizes for the blood, but it doesn’t bother Jacob
And of course, what would a convention be without some horrid, 2nd-hand embarassing stuff?!?
He takes a step back, the camera following his every move. Jacob strips off his shirt, revealing a six-pack, and bends down to dab Bella’s wound with it. Their faces come very close.
“You’re so beautiful,” she tells him. Emotion flashes across his face.
END SCENE. TWILIGHTERS SCREAM.
Clip #2
Alice and Bella are winding through the streets of Volterra, slowed by massive crowds of townspeople in red robes, celebrating the festival. Bella jumps out of the car.
“You’re the only one he can’t see. He’ll be under the clock tower. Go!” says Alice.
Bella races through the crowded city. We see her at times in slow motion.
She fights her way through the crowd, stopping at the fountain in the middle of the square. In slow motion, she looks up to see Edward, slowly unbuttoning his shirt just moments away from revealing himself in the sunlight. He opens his shirt to expose his pale chest. (And his abs. Very nice abs.)
Bella screams out to Edward. “Stop! Stop! No Edward, don’t!”
He takes a step forward.
END SCENE. CROWD GOES WILD.
I must say, I do love that both scenes involved the leading men taking off their shirts. Well played Summit, well played!
UPDATE!!!!
The clips have been found! I knew someone would pull through for us and that person was inuyashasfanaticlove. The quality is poor and its obvious the girl recording is uber excited (not that I wouldn’t be!), but who cares. I squeed in my office at work at Edward’s apparition!!
Clip #1
Clip #2
*blacks out*
And of course, it wouldn’t be a convention without some promo stuff that is so 2nd hand embarrassing!
Who wants a BK crown to show there support? Yes, I'll have a Whopper and a Team Edward crown. Save the Whopper Jrs. for Team Jacob!
Comic Con was the beginning of it all last year. The screaming. The crazy fan girls. The moment where Rob realized his life would never be the same. And now, for some crazy ridiculous reason, Rob has
Revered silence? What is that like?!?
been signed up to come back again.
So, since I often address Rob’s crazy fan girls and give some advice on how not to act when you are around Rob, it would be wrong of me not to give some advice for all of the ladies (yes, I am calling you ladies and I expect you to act like one when you arrive).
1. No screaming!
This is a serious rule (some of the others may not be!). Do you notice that this is always one of my rules for when you meet Rob? Maybe it’s because screaming freaks him out. What a change it would be if Rob walked in a room filled with revered awe rather than frantic screaming? Let’s give that to him! Plus, people paid a lot of money to be there. They might like to hear the panel, not you fangirling it up. (Thanks nessdm!)
More fan girls tips and a video after the jump!! Continue reading
