My Eclipse Weekend Did NOT End With a Blown Wad… And This is a Good Thing!

By Amber

Man. I think I forgot how much I dug Edward till this weekend.

Yum! Promward!


Flashback to Friday… I cuddled up in a blankie and watched Twilight. And I oohed and awwhed. I squeed when Edward walked through that cafeteria door like it was the first time. I died at the restaurant scene with Robward not only looking good, but the tunes in the background. And then, of course, Promward just closed it up so nicely.

Then I popped in New Moon. I giggled at the parking lot strut. I cried when Edward left. I cringed at TayTay’s bad acting. I cried when Edward came back. I was scared of the Volturi. And then I swooned at “marry me.”

Saturday morning, I woke up to the best sound. Which was the front door closing after my dear sweet hubby when to Target at 8 a.m., fought with a few women because apparently the super special collector’s edition blue rays were in short supply, and brought it home to me.

You and I have a date... later.


I popped that baby in and …  gah. I forgot how much I liked Eclipse. Of course, it was my fave book, so that helps too. But I have to say, even though David Slade is kind of a tool, the movie was well done. I loved all the action sequences. Rob was a little less tweedy and more t-shirt hot. I just liked the movie.

And… um… that was it. I did not watch any of the special features. None of the commentary. Hell, I didn’t even open the super special collector’s edition cards. Call me a bad fangirl. Cause then when I wanted to watch it Sunday, I realized Harry Potter was on, and well, I couldn’t resist Cedric.

But then I thought about. Maybe this was a good decision. I didn’t sit down and blow my Eclipse wad all in one weekend like I did with the first 2 movies. I’ll be able to savor and enjoy the DVD and all the fancy little features over time instead. Maybe one day, I’ll watch the commentary. Another, the deleted scenes. I can drag this out for awhile, which means that while all of you are dying for some new Rob bidness, I’ll have a little secret stash of goodies I can fall back on.

I know, I know. I’m a genius.

How was your Eclipse weekend? Are you jealous you blew your wad and I didn’t? How quickly do I need to sit down and watch all the special features? Are you shocked that I’m waiting?

What’s a Girl to Do? — The Story of a Non-Spoiler Whore

By Amber

Spoilers make Robward ANGRY!

I’m having such a dilhemia right now. It’s killing me.

I am not a spoiler whore. For good reason. I’ve seen way too many set pics, so I rarely seek them out anymore. I don’t read scripts. I don’t like to see all the extras to a DVD before release date. I don’t like to hear spoilers to the movies (even if I have read the book).  I just don’t dig being spoiled.

It all pretty much started when I had the ending of Remember Me spoiled for me. Not completely, but let’s just say a big piece of the puzzle was in front of me and it was easy to put the pieces together. Plus, I spent the whole freakin’ movie placing outfits from certain set pics, and then wondering where other scenes that were deleted were. Ever since then, I’ve been much more careful.

I like to walk into a movie theater and still have a somewhat surprising experience. Yes, a few set pics are cool (not too many, of course). But as far as the story itself goes, I don’t want to hear it.

And even as I anxiously await a DVD, I don’t want to hear the entire commentary in advance. I don’t want to see all the deleted scenes. I don’t even want a hint at what the title screen is going to look like. Pass on that.

There is something to be said for having a little bit of patience. It honestly makes that first experience so much better! When I walk into the theater, it’s easier to see beyond Rob to the character. When I watch the deleted scenes on a DVD, they are large and in charge on my TV, as they were meant to be seen. Patience is good!

Plus, can I be honest with you all? Are we in the trust tree?

Sometimes the overload makes my Rob love wane. Like right now. I’m kind of like… eh.

I know, I know… ::sigh:: Love me through it…

I pretend like I hate droughts. I don’t. Unless they are ended with pictures of Rob toasted or a video of him giving TomStu a piggy back ride. I feel like set pictures don’t really end the drought for me. Cause that’s not Rob. It’s Edward. Or Jacob. Or Georges. And I want to see Rob, not all those random dudes.

 

A much better way to end a drought!

So, what is this whole soapbox for? Why am I telling you all this?

 

Mainly because I want to be honest. Are there pictures out there I could post? Hell yeah. Are there new videos? Yep. But they are all either spoiling 1) the Breaking Dawn movie; or 2) the Eclipse DVD. And I am trying so hard to keep what is left of my non-spoiler cherry intact, so I don’t want to post them here. I don’t even want to talk about them.

Cause I am no spoiler whore!

But believe me, as soon as I can sit down and watch all the goodies that are the Eclipse DVD, I will be spoiling the hell out of it here on the blog! ;)

Banking on Rob’s Success… Nice Cover There, Bad Mother’s Handbook.

By Amber

Yes, I own a copy of The Bad Mother’s Handbook. Actually, I think I’ve had it for quite awhile seeing as we tricked out our DVD player to be region free so I could watch all of Rob’s movies when they were only available in the UK. Mama couldn’t wait. She needed her Rob now!

So, when I ordered my copy of The Bad Mother’s Handbook, my DVD cover looked like this:

The Bad Mother's Handbook (TV Drama)

The UK Version... Notice anything missing?

The US version, which came out today, looks a little bit different…

One of these things is not like the other!

All of sudden, without doing anything except becoming a hot sparkly vampire, Rob is not only on the cover, he is the star of this movie! Man, if you are looking at this before you buy, you are thinking you are gonna get lots of Rob, right?

Sadly, no. While he plays a great character (we all know a Daniel Gale!), he is a supporting actor in this movie. In fact, did they take the picture for this cover later, cause they seem to be trying to make him look like a hottie? Dropping the glasses, photoshopping the eyebrows, this is not Daniel Gale.

Well, just one more way a movie company is using Rob to move more DVDs. But I will say this, it’s a good watch. Especially if you’re a mom. You just get it. So if you don’t own this little gem yet, go. Go now and order it from Amazon!

Now, if you really want to see Rob as a hottie, check out these pictures. You’re welcome.

Please ignore the DVD case in the mix. Stupid WP includes ALL the pics when you do a slideshow and won’t let you pick and choose.

So have y’all seen TBMHB? What did you think? There is something about nerdy Rob that’s gets me everytime…

We Had a Robtacular Tuesday, Which Makes for a Really Fun Post on Wednesday!

By Amber

I was pretty much offline all of yesterday. And probably will continue to be most of June as I get ready for the fuck awesome trek to LA planned at the end of the month. So I L-O-V-E it when I get online after the end of a long day filled with too much real life crap and find a lot of little Robbie treats waiting for me!

Where to start? I think I’ll go with Robowski for $500 please.

Water for Elephants filming is starting to feel like Remember Me filming. We had tons of photos, each new set seems to be just a little hotter then the last and at the end of the day we all are just wondering, “Can we make it till the movie’s release?” It feels like we can’t but I know we can. At least with lots of hugs, encouragement and pictures like these!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

(It really is irritating that I can’t keep the none WFE pics from showing. Once you see Robward, move along to the next item or you’ll spoil the rest of my post for yourself!)

And speaking of Remember Me…. YEAH!

Frugal coupon queens (AKA me) rejoice! I actually cancelled my Amazon order since an $8 coupon when Target says they will have it for $20 is way cheaper. The coupon is available till June 15, so don’t freak out cause the link isn’t working. You know this things has Rob commentary, right? And even with the serious nature of the movie, you know it’s still gonna be good!

And then, AND THEN…. some new, hot Robward! I’m glad that the tweed appears to have vanished and the hot v-necks have returned! Hallelujah!

Kick his ass, seabass!

Oh yeah! This is the Robward that dreams and fanfic are made of!

How about a little bit of arm porn for ya while we are at it?

And just when you think this is all over, it isn’t. A new interview AND new photoshoot pics, which I think are actually outtakes from another shoot, but hey, I don’t remember seeing them and I will take what I can get.

UNF! I am a sucker for the skinny tie, even with the shiny suit he may have borrowed from TayTay.

Uhhhhhhhh...... ::gulp::

And I don’t know what I like best, Rob’s summary of Breaking Dawn:

The story goes in so many different directions I’m curious to see what it’ll look like. We don’t procrastinate any longer: Bella telling me ‘I want you to turn me’ and me going ‘No, no, no’. She becomes a vampire in this movie. We get married and sleep together. All the tension from the previous movies is gone in Breaking Dawn.

Or the fact that Rob still doesn’t get it:

Like I’ve always said, it’s the character that people love, not me. I hope to be able to reach out to people due to the quality of the films that I make and not because people will hope to see a new Twilight as soon as my name is in the end credits.

Oh Rob, one day you will see that you are more then Edward. You are also a hot 24 year old man that I want to get into the pants of. Hey, just being honest here. Read the rest of the interview on here!

Rob’s Running has Most Definitely Improved… Thank You Jeebus!

By Amber

I’m still trying to go through all the New Moon special features, and it’s not a fast process by any means. I mean, first off, I did NOT buy all the different DVDs, cause Summit can suck it, and then a lot of the vids for the other scenes were getting pulled off of YouTube faster then you could say, “Team Edward kicks Team Jacob’s ass.”

But, there was a little gem, hidden away in the Eclipse feature on the Wal-Mart DVD (which, of course, I did not get). Rob is running. Again. On a treadmill. And it. is. HOT!

Um…. Rob. You are looking buff. And you are running… correctly. This is not how it always was.

I very much believed Kellan when he described Rob as running like a “mountain goat”  during Twilight filming. All the evidence in the past has pointed to that Rob’s athletic ability is lacking. Let’s relive this moment from Kellan, cause I kinda love it.

And, of course, those of us who watched every moment of the Remember Me remember that we all saw improvement when we saw this:

Yep, guessing THAT scene will be on the deleted scenes for the DVD. It’s good to see improvement. My athletic heart has been made happy. And I am sooo ready to see this little bit of running in action in Eclipse. Plus, seriously, how much do we all love Rob for wearing that beanie that is probably older then my oldest child, and what also appears to be a Carmen San Diego shirt, a game I am not all that sure he is old enough to remember. (All of us who DO remember playing it, on floppy disks, let’s take a moment to feel old. ) And never in my life I have wished to be a strap before. I don’t care if the next moment it was place on Jackson Rathbone’s sweaty crotch, or even Nikki Reeds. I would still be fine with it.

Since I am now taking the lazy approach in regards to the New Moon special features, I’m gonna just need you guys to tell me your faves. Cause I don’t want to waste any time on anything too Taycob heavy. ::shudders::

This super fuckhawt gif was found on Robsessed, and watched over a million times. By me.

The Homebodies Guide to Avoiding New Moon Midnight Parties

By Amber

Tomorrow, at midnight, tweens, teens and Twimoms across the U.S. will be gathered at Walmarts, Borders and what ever other stores may be having these late night scream fests that include way too many kids (and Twimoms, I can’t decide which is worse) competing for lame prizes. However some of us will not be partaking in this fuckery.

Can you believe these crazy bitches lined up in Walmart for THIS?!?

Personally, I know I can’t be at one of those parties, for several reasons. In fact, if either of my reasons sound like they fit you, you probably shouldn’t go either. First off, I lack the bond money I will need for when I slap the first 13 year old that screams, “I love Edward Pattinson!” Secondly, I am overly competive. It’s kind of a sickness. And if it came down to me and some 9 year old with a Team Jacob shirt on to win the New Moon key chain that isn’t worth the metal ring I will put it, I will destroy that 9 year old. People will look at me strange and think I am ridiculious. I will dance my happy dance waving the key chain in the face of the 9 year old and saying “Hahaha! Oh, and by the way, Taylor is gaaaaaaaaay!” Said kid will cry, and I will not care.

Instead of partying all night at a party that doesn’t even serve alcohol (hello, that is not a party), I’m going to be at home, going through my list of things to do while not attending a New Moon midnight party. Luckily, I am willing to share my 5 things that homebody Twi-fans must do when it comes to New Moon DVD release day!

1. Grab your snuggie and cuddle up on the coach and watch Twilight. Relive the happy times of hot, sexy, v-neck t-shirt Edward before moody, broody Tweed Edward makes you depressed the next day!

2. Get a cold beer (or wine, if that is your thang, I’m a beer girl) and catch up on all your fan fiction updates. Since you’ve been reading Bel Ami and most likely, Water for Elephants, I know you are behind. What a perfect night to catch up and get in the mood. ;)

While tweens are competing for Team Jacob keychains, I'll be dreaming of this... with a blonde Bella, who is slightly older, and maybe runs a blog...

3. Snuggle up in your bed with your Edward pillow and fall asleep by 11:30 a.m. You’ve got a long day of crying, squeeing, reliving New Moon on Saturday, and you’ll need your strength. You know you are going to lose your shit again when they go through the month montage.

4. Wake up Saturday morning, fully refreshed. Have a cup of coffee and a bowl of cocoa puffs, all while listening to the soundtrack. Then get on over to Target (or other store of choice, although I’m going with Target) and get your DVD, which I’m sure they will have plenty of.

5. Come home and enjoy, knowing that you did not have to fight any teens or tweens, or put up with Team Jacob fans (ugh!).

So, are any of you daring to fight the crowds? Or will you be sitting at home eating bon bons thinking about all those crazy Twi-fans and laughing to yourself, like me?

Biker Bob, How We Missed You & A Word to Target on Getting Me to Buy Their DVD

By Amber

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!

My Quickie Review of The Haunted Airman

By Amber

haunted-airman_42109587This weekend, I got my region free DVD player and am now beginning my Robapooloza of watching all the DVDs TheShagDaddy ordered me from Amazon UK. We started it all off with The Haunted Airman.

Let me start off by saying this. If Rob Pattinson was not in this movie, I probably would have never even watched. And I am also sure that the movie would have never made it to DVD. The font for the title is the same as the Twilight font. Coincidence? I think not.

It is a weird and kind of freaky movie and I don’t think it will have quite the same rotation in my DVD player as other Rob movies. But is there is one good reason to own this movie, it’s the fact that Rob is in it and looks effing HAWT! I mean, I did some serious swooning. Even with all the spiders. (Yeah, let me add that if you have a fear of spiders, this may NOT be the best movie for you.)

So, rather then concentrating on the weird parts of the movie that kind of made me squirm *cough*thentireending*cough*, I would much rather concentrate on the hotness!

normal_tha417

Lots of Rob smoking. I mean, a lot of Rob smoking. But he does it in that hot ass way that makes you forget how unhealthy it is and that you want to be the next reason he pulls out a cigarette. Note the fingers, too. There is no good screen cap of the finger porn, but I promise it is amazing!

More Haunted Airman goodies after the jump! Continue reading

The One Thing the Twilight DVD Missed… Bloopers!!

By Amber

Three discs of commentary, behind the scenes, extended scenes, deleted scenes, music videos, the Twilight DVD seemed to have it all…EXCEPT a blooper reel. Personally, that would have been a huge plus and a great add to the 3 discs I have chock full of Twilight goodness.

So, I’ve put together some of the bloopers I could find to make one fun post that I hope will make you laugh! Enjoy!!

If you find more, please post in the comments!

Alright, I think I may FINALLY be convinced to see Little Ashes.

By Amber
Oh, how I wish I was that cigarette... *sigh*

Oh, how I wish I was that cigarette... *sigh*

When I first saw the clips and trailer for Little Ashes starring Robert Pattinson, I thought I would just have to pass on this movie. Why?

First off, the ‘stache. It’s ridiculous. Second, the homoerotic plot line that the movie will follow. I have no problem with that, but, just like any sex scenes, it just makes me feel uncomfortable when watching in a theatre. And THE TUCK, well, that really just finished it off for me. No, I could wait at least till DVD.

However,it’s possible that MTV of all places may have won me over with this quote:

But as Pattinson has stated on numerous occasions, he isn’t looking to remain a teen heartthrob — and brave choices like “Ashes” are what turns a young actor into a Johnny Depp rather than a Kirk Cameron.

Hmmm, I like the Johnny Depp comparison. And it’s true, this could be one of those roles that makes him more than just that teen vampire (which, even as a Twi fan, is the last thing I want to see happen).

Plus, when you got friends like @Late2thePartee making awesome videos like this, well, you get swayed!

Disclaimer: Turns out the first kiss is not in the movie, but the water kiss is. Remember, this video is fan made. But, hey, who cares?!? It’s still hot!!

So, I’ve decided. Although it may not matter and I might have to wait for a DVD anyway (seems the middle of Oklahoma is not a good place to see movies with homoerotic subplots), if, by some miracle, it plays in a theatre near me, I will make every effort to go and see it. I promise!
