All caught up and ready to move on to chapter 3? Well then hit that jump and let’s roll! Warning! Spoilers ahead. Don’t go for it unless you want ‘em. Continue reading
You all caught up and at the half way point with us? YAY! Then keep on reading…
Whew. I’m feeling all kids of mind f*cked all over the place. Really. Mind is constantly blown. And not in a good way. In a “I really have no idea what is going on” kind of way. It probably doesn’t help that I don’t do the assigned reading until about 8 p.m. on Sunday night so I don’t give myself the time to really understand what is happening. So it’s my fault, but that’s why I have all of you!
So anyway, stop here if you have not read the 2nd chapter OR don’t want to be spoiled. The rest of you, hit that jump!
I wouldn’t call this a super busy day in the Rob world. It was basically just busy enough to keep us all on our toes. And I mean literally…
New Lead Actress in Cosmopolis?
Well, yes, but the real question is… who? See, here is what happened. The original lead, Marion Cottilard, got hit by that pregnancy bug going around Hollywood. Srsly. Don’t drink the water around there. It’s an epedimic. So, magically, Keira Knightly’s named popped up on the site as being in the film. Replacing Marion? Maybe. Just about the time I started getting excited (I’ve been a Knightly fan since Bend it Like Beckham), her name magically disappeared from the site. Like it was never there…
Weird.
So, here is what we know. There will be new lead. We aren’t really sure who it is. Maybe Keira. And the Cosmopolis site people need to learn they are being monitored hard core by the Rob fans. Cause that’s what we do.
New Outtakes!
This I know for sure. There were 2 new outtakes from the shoot that keeps on giving. Although, can I be honest? Are we in the trust tree? ::whispers:: I don’t really think they are that good. Sorry. Rob looks like he needs a good night’s sleep and a cuddle, from me of course.
Not-So-New Trailer
Then MTV tried to fool us all. They were advertising this trailer as the new international trailer for Water for Elephants. I was all jazzed, till I watched it and realized it was what was released in Finland. Which makes sense, cause um, Finland is international.
But of course, I watched it a couple times, you know, since I already had it open. So you should too. I still get the chills!
Oh, and I so downloaded the song from the trailer since it’s brill. It makes me want to cry. You should too. It’s Please Don’t Go by Barcelona. I think if this one song is any indication, I may need to buy the whole album!
No, really. Someone please help me with understanding what is going on. As promised last week, I read the first chapter of Cosmopolis and I truly do not understand it. Yay! I love when I am able to keep my promises.
If you haven’t read yet, or don’t plan to read and want to be spoiler free, STOP READING RIGHT NOW! Do not follow the jump. You will be sad cause you will see spoilers.
However, if you are reading or are cool with spoilers, continue on… Continue reading
So are you all wrapped up in the world of Cosmopolis yet? Yeah, me neither. I’ll get there, I’ll get there. But, while we are reading, how about a little bit of eye candy to help the imagination run wild whilst you are reading?
I knew you’d think that’s a good idea.
Is it coming on or off? I'm gonna go with option b...
Sunglasses... bad. Smiley Rob... good.
Oh, so deep in thought. CLEARLY thinking about me.
The finger porn gets just a bit intense here. Deep breaths ladies!
He's got a smile, but looks so tired. I got a bed you can take a snooze in.
And the most adorb picture of them all! I love the scrunchy face.
Just a quickie little pic spam post for you. But I am sure you all are needing it!
And seriously, join my Cosmopolis book club. It’s like a real book club, except we try and figure out approximately how many times the main character gets naked and join hands and pray for rated R so we can get an ass shot.
First off, take a look around. New blog layout, oh yeah! I got some more things I want to implement, but this was the biggest part and it is done. I haven’t changed since I started this blog way back in February of 2009 (whoa!) so it was a long time coming.
As I promised last week, it’s book club time! Since Rob pretty much only does movies based on books, I feel like we get to do this a bunch. And I pretty much love it cause I love book clubs. They rule.
And of course, this time we are gonna read Cosmopolis, a book that has gotten some, well, not so good reviews. Which I kind of hate because 1) we are already starting off on a bad foot and 2) it’ll probably be confusing. I mean, let’s get real, I pretty much only read young adult and fan fiction, so serious adult books are not my typical fare.
But hey, let’s all not understand the book together!
So, here is the plan:
Cosmopolis is divided into 4 chapters, but the chapters are LONG, so we are gonna spend the next 4 weeks (starting next Monday) reading 1 chapter each week. On each Monday of the week, I’ll write up some of my thoughts on the book, and then you all can share your own in the comments. Hopefully we can get some good discussions and maybe, just maybe, understand the book and the story line just a little bit better.
I can picture this in a limo!
Oh, and figure out approximately how many times Rob may or may not be having sexy times. Cause really, we do have priorities here.
Here’s a little schedule in case you made some kind of New Year’s resolution to be super organized:
Chapter 1 Recap – January 17
Chapter 2 Recap – January 24
Chapter 3 Recap – January 31
Chapter 4 Recap - February 7
So, are you ready? Get a copy of the book now from Amazon or your favorite book retailer. Or maybe the library. Where ever! Just do it and do it now. And get to reading!
Mini disclaimer… if you click that link and order from Amazon, I get a teeny, tiny portion of the purchase price. It all goes into the up keep of the blog, but I figure I should tell you.
Yes, my title is a Metric song (with seemingly fitting lyrics). And the song is cool so you will deal with it.
Anyways, yesterday was one of those days that truly does not come often enough. Are you ready?
ROB IS ON FOR A NEW MOVIE!!!!!
Okay, deep breaths. Srsly, these are the days I live for. I mean, I love drooling over a pretty photo or two, but movies are where it is at. It means Rob is still going. Still working that career and still making pretty damn good choices outside of Twilight!! PLUS, I get to add a new blog category! EXCITING!
So, what is this movie you ask? What is it about?
Of course, it’s based on a book (since apparently those are the only movies Rob signs on for), Cosmopolis, which I am having a hell of a time pronouncing. Good thing I write a blog instead of something that involves me talking. So here is what Amazon says about the book:
DeLillo skates through a day in the life of a brilliant and precocious New Economy billionaire in this monotone 13th novel, a study in big money and affectlessness. As one character remarks, 28-year-old Eric Packer “wants to be one civilization ahead of this one.” But on an April day in the year 2000, Eric’s fortune and life fall apart. The story tracks him as he traverses Manhattan in his stretch limo. His goal: a haircut at Anthony’s, his father’s old barber. But on this day his driver has to navigate a presidential visit, an attack by anarchists and a rapper’s funeral. Meanwhile, the yen is mounting, destroying Eric’s bet against it. The catastrophe liberates Eric’s destructive instinct-he shoots another character and increases his bet. Mostly, the action consists of sequences in the back of the limo (where he stages meetings with his doctor, various corporate officers and a New Economy guru) interrupted by various pit stops. He lunches with his wife of 22 days, Elise Shifrin. He has sex with two women, his art consultant and a bodyguard. He is hit in the face with a pie by a protester. He knows he is being stalked, and the novel stages a final convergence between the ex-tycoon and his stalker.
Rob’s character is Eric, which will give #HotEric multiple meanings and that rules. The book sounds a bit crazy and weird, which is I’m sure the reason why Rob would go with it. Let’s be honest though, I saw the words sex, limo and pie in the face, and I was sold!
Plus, this movie is a milestone. It’ll be his first movie after the end of Twilight. Oh happy day!
Oh, and ladies, you know we are gonna have to put some time in and learn more about this movie. We are definitely doing book club on the blog! I’ll figure out the deets (when we’ll start, schedule, etc.) and post them next week.
Disclaimer… word is the role is in final negotiations, but it’s close to a done deal. So, there is a chance it may not happen. But hey, I’m a glass half full kind of girl, so let’s not think too long and hard (TWSS) on that.
Something else happened yesterday too. What was it….. oh yeah, that’s right. The People’s Choice Awards. I almost forgot due to the fact that the movie news is so much awesome-er then some silly awards show that really doesn’t count. But no worries, I still got the goods for you!
First up, the montage for Rob on Movie Stars Under 25. We’ll just pretend we didn’t hear them state that Rob plays guitar in a band when that is such an obvious rumor of the untrue variety.
How about some awkward KStew for you? You know I love her, and she looked amazing! I’m serious. This may have been one her best award show looks yet.
I don’t care what anyone says, I found this hilarious. Let the awkwardness runneth over!
AND…. just in case you haven’t had enough awkward, the acceptance speech!! (Don’t die from Rob adorableness! Trust me. It’s hard not to do!)
And, of course, some pics for of Rob for you in the shiteous gold jacket. You broke my heart with that jacket Rob. Broke. My. Heart.
