Only 3 videos today, but some pretty good ones IMO, including a fan fiction tribute video! Yes! I think you guys will likey!! Enjoy!
Rob Pattinson || SO Hard! || LIME
Okay, I love, love, LOVE this video! Good ass candy, nice close ups of the frontal areas, and TheGinajuicy has the best cut and edit of the shower scene. You’ll see what I mean!!
More after the jump…
Alright Target, I see your game. I totally get it. Let’s release one of our exclusive deleted scenes and all the fans will come and buy our version of the DVD. Actually, great marketing idea executed poorly. Why? Cause this is the scene we got:
Um, yeah, where’s Robward in this? Oh, he’s not there? No, instead you give us a made for the movie character who has officially been deemed ‘Biker Bob.’ Now, what makes me sad is we never got to know Biker Bob in the intimate ways which we became familiar with Twilight‘s ‘Buttcrack Santa.’ Oh, the opportunities missed by Letters to Twilight, the fun times and new inside jokes that could have been made. All lost to the cutting room floor. I just hope they told Biker Bob before he showed up to the premiere that his scene was cut. Heard that happens to actors sometimes. ::cough::Rob::cough::Vanity Fair::cough::
And now Target, let’s be real. I love you. I give you lots and lots of my hard earned money. I want to buy your DVD, but then you snooze on offering the digital download then try and entice me with ‘Biker Bob.’ Hell, even a shirtless TayTay scene would have been better. Gah.
Maybe Robward taking all the birthday presents and hiding them, perhaps some Edward and Bella action on the plane, come on. There HAD to be better options when you are trying to show that your DVD is the best of a whole hell of a lot of options. And I gotta say, still not convinced yours is the best. My New Moon DVD bucks are still up for grabs. Hey, Borders… wow me!
SPOILER ALERT!!! If you are not reading or planning to read Bel Ami book or script, then do not read this post or the comments. We are reading Bel Ami together and I want everyone to feel free to discuss openly. You should join us if you haven’t already!
P.S. I am NOT reading the script, therefore I discuss whether or not I think certain scenes should be in the film. PLEASE do not comment or tweet me and tell me whether or not a scene is in the script. I don’t want to know!
Okay, last week I went all crazy in depth, but probably not as much this week. Two reasons… (1) I’ve had to get up at 5 a.m. every day this week so I is tired and (2) Yeah, I got kind of lost on parts. Well, 
not parts, just all of chapter 7.
What I gathered was that Duroy got in an argument, and then a gun fight, with another reporter over whether an old lady got arrested after arguing with a butcher over meat trimmings. Is that right? I guess I didn’t understand where that built into the plot. Maybe one of you did, but I didn’t. If, in the movie, I have to choose leaving out that scene and seeing more Rob sexing, yeah, I think we can do the additional sexing. The only thing that would be cute is seeing Rob all petrified and scared. Don’t ask me why I think that’d be cute. I don’t know, but what I picture in my head is adorable. But yeah, that whole chapter seemed unnecessary to the plot. ::shrugs shoulders::
Chapter 8 gets us moving, as Madame Forestier calls on Duroy to come out and be with her as a friend while her husband dies. Not too surprising, we all knew it was coming. I think its funny he was slightly uncomfortable, cause he had already pretty much declared his feelings for the wife (sort of), or maybe cause it’s scary as hell to watch anyone die because it makes you feel very mortal. The more I think about it, the more I think that was the reason he was uncomfortable. Maybe the point of chapter 7 was to make him feel immortal after winning the gun fight. Maybe while writing the blog I figured out the whole point to chapter 7. ::patting myself on my own back::
So, Forestier seems to take FOREVER to die (can so shorten that for the movie), but eventually kicks the bucket. And then he moves in for the kill with the widow. I do love that after he states his intentions, she leaves him hanging. Good woman, leave him hanging.
Duroy then had to start putting off Madame de Maralle, cause he can’t be having his mistress when he’s married to her friend. And this chapter we begin to see that Madame Forestier is kind of perfect for Duroy. Conniving, planning and very much an equal to him, having him change his name, changing his stature by what she calls “a little method” that can get them whatever they want, Madame Forestier is legit.
Duroy and Madeline aka Madame Forestier go get married in secret, do the honeymoon thing, then go visit the parentals of Duroy. Madeline is definitely hooty-tooty and doesn’t do well in the country, but the whole point was to make it seem like they stayed at some estate for when they announced the marriage, versus getting married in a court house and staying with what are essentially peasants. See, Madeline has a plan for everything.
What did you guys think? I feel like we are kind of in a transitional period, so I’m hoping to see some more plot very, very soon!
I love any international competition. It’s almost as fun watching the fans in the stands as it watching the actual event. I find myself cheering for The Netherlands a lot just because they’re fans are so into
it. There are some things about the Olympics that bug me, though. For instance, curling is on every time I turn on the Olympics. Always curling. How long does it take to get through curling? Many events are completed in a couple days, yet curling has been taking place since last year apparently. And if curling is in the winter games, then shuffleboard should be in the summer games. It’s the same thing. All of the downhill skiing events look the same to me. I flip it on and Bob Costas says, “Now we go to Whistler for the Men’s Alpine Downhill Skiing,” and then the guys go downhill, and the next time I put on skiing, Bob Costas says, “And now back to Whistler for Men’s Super G Downhill Skiing,” and it’s the SAME men, on the SAME course, with the SAME skis. What is the difference? I have been watching skiing obsessively, trying to understand the difference between Alpine, Super G, Slalom, and Super Combined. But it all looks THE SAME.
We’ve got a little theme this week. Both stories came from the authors recommending them to me. It’s really rare–I can count on one hand how many ficsters have sent me their own stories. But I got a very nice email from Betty a couple weeks ago along with a link to her story, so I read it. And I fell in love. Lately I’ve been a bit off the angsty stories, but have been adding a lot of UST (unresolved sexual tension) to my fic caddy. “The Gentleman” is arguably one of the UST-iest stories you’ll ever find. It’s about Edward Cullen, a young senator who has taken over his father Carlisle’s senate seat after Carlisle’s death (sad–dead Carlisle). Edward is in a heated campaign with conservative challenger Jacob Black. Edward is a playboy (read: total manwhore), and he has a brand new batch of office interns, including one Bella Swan. Bella is a college senior who is completing her senior year at Georgetown. Of course Edward is attracted to Bella, but therein lies the rub. He is the senator. He is ten years older than her. He is a playboy in a tight race with a conservative opponent who is married with a happy homemaker wife. He cannot touch Bella Swan. UST! As for Bella, she is shy, kind, sharp as a tack, and attracting men left and right, even if she doesn’t seem to notice it. There’s Edward of course, her hot boss about whom she has sexytime dreams, and then Jacob, who she tried to date but broke up with when he wanted her to quit college and marry him. Jacob is a real prick in this story–you’ll want to punch him the junk. Points to Betty for making a Jacob we love to hate. And there’s Mike Newton, here a Senate aide who is a former college basketball star. Mike isn’t half bad–Betty has given him some depth and interest, making him more than just a cardboard cutout jerk/dweeb/pest, as Mike Newton usually is. This fic is a bit OOC, and has non-canon pairings in the beginning. Edward has private affairs with a number of women, Bella is currently getting her jollies with Mike Newton, which is a little discomfiting, but Betty counsels us to be patient as Bella really doesn’t think Edward is into her yet. She’s pursuing what she believes to be the realistic option over pining for a fantasy. Makes me wish Edward would pull his head out of his ass and get a move on. But that’s the central tension of the story. Edward isn’t just Edward–he’s Senator Cullen. He really can’t afford a scandal. He’s already got one skeleton in his closet–his brother Emmett is back home in Washington, keeping a low profile after some sort of incident that Charlie Swan apparently helped keep under wraps. And Jacob lurks, knowing Bella (whom Jacob clearly still has feelings for, despite his marriage) is in Edward’s office, and knowing Edward’s reputation as a ladies’ man. Drama! If you love UST, this story is for you.
Another fic rec, after the jump! Continue reading
Looking for the Bel Ami Book Club? Due to the BAFTAs, I’m moving it to Wednesday so I could talk about these. Cool? Cool.
Before I start my whole Rob shebang, I have to say this… Oscars, seriously, you could learn a thing or two from the BAFTAs. They were classy, yet still had touches of modern pop culture. You want to know what will get new viewers… those kind of touches. Stop being so stodgy and get on with it.
Okay, now for some Rob drooling, cause you know that is what I do best.
First things first, the hair. No, this was not his best hair moment. The sex hair was tamed down by what appeared to be water or way too much hair gel. But, that’s okay. He’s getting a pass from me today because the hair is for a movie. It’s not like he could cut it. He just had to do what he could with what he had. And I say he meaning Rob cause clearly no hair stylist would have sent him to an awards show like that.
However, when it’s moving in a video, the hair is not nearly as offensive. See?
More #BAFTA Rob after the jump… Continue reading
It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve done a video post. We’ve had so much other good stuff happening, there was no need to do my weekly cop out video post. But, here we are, and it is time for some hot, smexy videos of Rob to help get you through the weekend, and you may need it if your weekend, like mine, if filled with far too much family time. Ugh!
Robert Pattinson’s Details – Crystalised
Is it possible to take a video as hot as the Details video and make it feel even hotter?!? Apparently so, cause petitbiel accomplished it! If you don’t die after this video, then you must be dead… or a Taylor Lautner fan.
More hotness, after the jump! Continue reading
Great news yesterday, not only will we get to see Rememeber Me on March 12 and see a scene like this up on the big screen:
Oh, pissy Rob. Mmmm, yes.
Um, yeah, so in addition to seeing the movie, we will also get to see the first trailer for Eclipse!! SQUEE!
Now, what surprised me the most when this little tidbit of news dropped was how unhappy some people seemed to be about this. I will say though, I totally get the reasoning.
Read that reasoning, after the jump! Continue reading
Seems like damn near everyone of my posts lately has had some aspect of Robler. You know what that means…
We are in full blown promotions for the movie. I know, I know. Compared to New Moon, this is nothing. And, well, yeah. But once Robert proves himself to the general public that he can be a marquee name on a movie (you know, like Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt), or at least that he can make some money.
He sure does seem to already have impressed his co-stars…
Man, I’m not sure that calling it a behind the scenes is correct. Perhaps it should be called “we promise Rob is a really good actor and so much more than a brooding teenage vampire.” It’s like a video that Rob should send in with his resume as his letter of recommendations. I mean, all that love for Rob just increases my Rob love and now I’m dying for this movie to come out.
And can I add something? Emilie seems cool from what I’ve seen so far and her American accent sounds fine in the trailer, but her actual voice kind of kills me. Her accent just does something weird to the way she sounds. She probably should learn to speak in her American accent at all times. Goes to show I’m only attracted to men with an accent, not women.
Oh no, but the day does not end at the “Please hire/see/love Rob” video. Oh no no. It’d be a day or two since we got a new Remember Me clip and Summit must’ve we’d forgotten about Remember Me (uh, yeah, not likely) so they gave us a new clip…
First off…. SQUEE!!! Me likey Robler spinning his mad game on the lady! And I know it’s the script that has written her turning him down, cause even those cheesy pick up lines would win me over if delivered by Rob. Oh hell, Rob wouldn’t have to say anything to win me over. He just exists and I am dead and done!
Are you loving all the Robler, or fearful of what I have now deemed “The Summit Overload Promo” ? Cause seriously, I’m a wee bit nervous about that right now, but every time I think I’m not gonna watch I do. I just can’t help it.
Poor Vogue. You just didn’t cut the mustard this weekend.
While you were posting sweet, pretty pictures of Rob and Emilie holding hands and looking adorable, Details was tossing out pics of Rob with naked women, essentially foreplay for couples around the world as they were gearing up for Valentine’s Day. Be honest with yourself… you know you were thinking about being in that tub. I know I was.
See, I’m supposed to be talking about the Vogue pictures and I STILL got distracted by Details. It’s easy to do. Don’t judge me.
I will say… this pic is gorgeous. Sweet. Romantic. Just what they are going for! And I gotta say, Emilie is holding her own with Rob. For reals yo! But, ::le sigh:: my eye keeps wondering back to the gorgeous jaw, the perfect amount of stubble and that peek of man fur.
One thing I do like about Emilie versus KStew… she’s a blonde. Wait, wait… hear me out. It’s cause I’m a blonde, too. Makes Photoshopping me in the pictures WAY easier then with the Stew. #sooookidding #sortof
Don’t Panic.
I am a casual reader of fic, if a voracious one. Yes, I read a lot–way, way more than I will ever rec. And yes, I will tweet about various fics, and enjoy trading recs with followers. But I don’t leave reviews, I don’t post on forums, I don’t participate in fanfic communities, and I don’t read many of the fic blogs, beyond checking recs from The Lazy Yet Discerning Ficster. Confession: I haven’t read any ficster interviews, and I don’t read reviews on the fanfiction sites. There’s this whole world of daily interaction in fanfic that I am far too lazy to participate in.
So when I wake up one morning and boot up the ole 411, it is a shock to me to see that a fanfic has disappeared or been moved in the night. Many people see these things coming because they pay attention, but I don’t pay attention, so I am often surprised.
There have been a few instances where this has happened for various reasons. “Wide Awake” had problems with fanfiction.net (FFN), so AngstGoddess003 moved it onto her Livejournal, but that happened long before I read WA. The very popular “Boycotts and Barflies” was pulled so that it could be published as an e-book by Omnific (a spinoff of Twilighted). One of my favorite Darkward stories, “The Boy by the Window”, was pulled after some kind of behind-the-scenes girl drama between the co-authors. Some fics, like “The Office” by tby789, are pulled for personal reasons, or so the author can edit. And many fics, even popular ones, simply die because the author becomes too busy to continue, or loses interest. It’s important to remember that ficsters don’t get paid for this, and many of them are college/grad students or women with families and jobs, who do this in their spare time. Sometimes real life interferes and it’s enough to kill a fic.
However, lately, there has been a darker turn in the reasons behind fanfics being pulled. A turn that has created some panic and anxiety in the fandom. I’ll admit to falling victim to it when I heard “Emancipation Proclamation” had been pulled suddenly from FFN. But I have spent the intervening week doing a lot of computery research and talking with a variety of people involved in this issue, and what I have found is infuriating.
