It was 5 p.m. I was driving in my car and checking my Twitter. At the stop lights, people. I want to LIVE! And I saw the tweet that a pic of Edward and Bella was shown on the TV. The first REAL pic from the set of Breaking Dawn. AND on top of that, it was from the honeymoon and everyone kept talking about them being in a very compromising position. With Edward on top. Just how I always imagined it. ::sigh::

So, the excitement was building, people were going bat shit crazy on Twitter and all I am thinking is, this is it. The holy grail of all movie stills. I run and open the still and I get this:

And all I could think was…

That was it? I am so underwhelmed.

I’m guessing you all think I am crazy right? It’s Rob naked in a bed. How could I not be all fangirly?

Well, first, it’s Rob’s naked shoulders. I’d be excited if I hadn’t already seen that and more in Remember Me. To me, this is just a continued reminder of  how downplayed the scenes will be anyway since it’s a PG-13 movie. This isn’t fan fiction people. It’s still fade to black.

You know what I do like about this picture? The color is gorgeous. Robward looks amazing and sweet and so much less pale. Kristen’s skin is flawless, which makes me sick with jealousy. I definitely see Edward and Bella, even if it isn’t that much different then some of the better manips peeps have been making.

Maybe I’m just getting a little bit exhausted of Twilight. The excitement I had 2 years ago is just not even close to the same level it is now. Give me a pic of Rob in any other movie, and I am excited. But man, I just can’t seem to muster that same level of fangirly-ness at all when it comes to Breaking Dawn.

I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune when November rolls around. Cause really, Condon looks to be doing a fantabulous job so far. I’m hoping he can give us a finale that will satisfy the fandom. And make me fangirl like a mofo.

What are you thinking? Are you underwhelmed like me, or are you bursting at the seems excited!

Well, what is the best way to roll out the last day of 2010? Watching Rob videos. Duh. Plus, if you have kids like me which equates to no plans since babysitters are hard to come by on this day, you are gonna need something watch when you are trying really hard to stay up till midnight! Hopefully Rob can help you.

Enjoy!

Remember Me — Angels on the Moon (Thriving Ivory)

Go on ahead and hate me now cause I am starting with a tear jerker. SilverVintage82 took an almost too perfect song and set it to Remember Me, and I was crying by the end. And now I want to watch it so I can cry even more. Really, so sad that this movie was so misunderstood. But this video just reminds you of how good the story really is.

Robert Pattinson- ROME

::sigh:: I love Rome Rob. Bunches. The hair is perfect, he’s still so smiley and giddy. He just makes me happy. So I knew immediately I would love this video by Dontliveinregret. And I do, well, other then the song is not quite perfect and the fuzziness. But still, it’s Rome Rob! Mama like!

Water for Elephants ● Jacob //Marlena [HD]

A “just the tip” vid, but it’s Water for Elephants, and I am still kind of fangirling over the past couple days and this movie. Lacedtears took all the bits of Jacob and Marlena from the first trailer and made a video concentrating on them, and it’s gorgeous! I just love it!

*** Robert Pattinson // Airplanes ***

One more “just the tip” since it’s such a light video week. Hopefully SweetMelodyxxx will take this vid out to the full version, but for now we’ll settle for this tiny little bit of hotness!

Bella ” Time is fast … “

So, Rob vids are kinda light this week, so I’m posting this vid by Loonnddreess. It’s got Rob in it, but it’s kinda focused more on Bella and Twilight. But, since I like Twilight and I like KStew and I like that all the scenes with Rob seem to be the ones in slow mo, I thought you all would like it!

I kid, I kid… Not really.

It’s been a good week ladies.

Water For Elephants // …a beautiful woman, deserves a beautiful life…

This is soooo what I am waiting for after the debut of the teaser trailer last night… fanmade videos using those goodies!! ThatPlugInBaby cranked this one out pretty fast, and while I am not crazy about using a song associated with Twi on the video, I love the overall look and feel, and how it concentrates a little bit more on Rob!

Robert Pattinson Warning Extremely Hott!!!!! (part 20)

Part 20?!? Hot damn! I think we came into this series by SweetMelodyxxx a little bit late, obvs. I think it should be my goal this weekend to sit and watch them all. For #21, I’m requesting some Robowski!

Robert Pattinson “Englishman in New York”

This video from TheDreamhuntress gets an A for creativity, and is probably the only Rob vid I’ve ever seen that used a Sting song. Plus, I just like remembering those days of Remember Me filming. The summer of 2009 will always have a special place in my heart!

and, of course…

Water for Elephants Trailer 2011 HD

Um, duh, of course I HAVE to post this again!

And if I am missing some super awesome video that you are just super shocked I haven’t posted, PLEASE feel free to post them in the comments! Although, don’t do more then 2 at once or you get caught in the spam filter.

Yum! Promward!

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.

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?

So instead of ending the week off with videos, let’s start it off instead. For a few reasons. 1) We all need to be eased back into the work week. Nothing eases like a good video. 2) When we go on vacay, Rob seems to do the same. So alas, no news. AND 3) I am feeling a little lazy. There. I said it.

Robert Pattinson: I Can’t Stay Away

Isn’t this how we all feel sometimes? ::sigh:: I tell you. This boy just crawls up in your head and stays there. And this little vid from beanene1 has lot’s of vintage Rob mixed with the new to keep reminding you of all the reasons why it’s okay that you can’t stay away. Totally normal.

Okay, this is an oldie, but a few people reposted it so it showed up in my list of new videos a couple times and I just love it to much not to post it again for the 8 billionth time.

Robert Pattinson singing live ” I was broken”

Gah. I die EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And seriously, if you listen and love Rob, you NEED to listen to Marcus Foster. The similarities between their voices is insane. Srsly. Do it.

Badassward is back… fingers crossed

Guess who it is under a different name?! everLUSTneverFOUND is the ever amazing Biel, which is obvious by this amazing sauce video that makes me instantly want to own a copy of Eclipse. The $30 blu-ray version! You hear that Summit?! Trust me, this girl is helping you, not hurting you!

Eghads! I couldn’t post many more videos. There were SOOO many BD & Eclipse DVD spoilers and I want to keep as spoiler free as possible. Which means you have to go look on your own.

Hope this starts your week off right! Friday at 12 a.m. is right around the corner.

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!

There. I said it.

They may have brought Twilight to the big screen, but sometimes I think they just don’t get it. And when they decided to start perusing Youtube for fanmade videos that contain teeny, tiny bits of Twilight so they can call copyright infringement and have them pulled, well, that just kills me. Really? You have nothing better to do?

This is exactly what they are doing to petitbiel, one of the finest Rob video makers out there. And she is the latest in a string of fans that Summit has targeted. Fans. I can’t even contemplate why a company would do this.

Sure, what she does is totally considered copyright infringement. But does she make money on it? No. Does it in fact just increase our ravenous affection for Rob and make us want to shell out tons of money to see Twilight Saga movies, 2, 3, 10, 37 times? Yes. Does that money from said tickets not go into Summit’s pockets? Why yes.

But hey. Just cause it’s the law doesn’t mean it’s good pr. And I tell you, this is just bad pr.

::steps off soapbox::

So today’s videos are all by the wonderfully talented petitbiel, who I’ve featured numerous times! Keep doing what you’re doing girl, and don’t let the man get you down.

The Red Line teaser trailer

This is just a teaser, and I am sooooo freakin’ intrigued. I have not read this story yet, but hot damn. With a video like this, I think I may push this one up on my “to do” list! Not Safe for Work… not even a little bit.

Rehab for the ROBsessed – Long Live ROBsession!!!

Oooooooo! The perfect video for those long droughts!

Robert Pattinson’s Details – Crystalised

I can’t never not post this video when we are talking about petitbeil. She seriously made me 1) love the Details pics even more (I didn’t even know that was possible); and 2) made me think sex everytime I listen to the XX.

Edward, From Twilight To New Moon [1st Part]

Awwwww, one of the videos offensive to Summit. Maybe it’s cause her editing is better? Who knows? I love Robward! (P.S. I think everyone’s fave Robward from yesterday is in there!)

100% Robert Pattinson Content – Beware of the Dog [7th Part of 7]

And the bread and butter, the way so many of us came to know and love petitbiel… 100% Robert Pattinson Content. My fave series of Rob vids on the web! Here is just one of them!

Love all of these videos?? Go and SUBSCRIBE to her! Show her love and support!

Whoa.

Is it because this is the best picture of Rob ever. No. This one made me pause because it reminded me of exactly who I fell in love with first… Edward.  And this picture my friends is SOOOOOO Edward. The look. The jaws. The skin. Everything is just flawless!

So while on the other “Rob porn” segments I went with very Rob type things, this time, I’m hitting it hard with my first love, Robward.

Twilight Robward

Awwww…. Twilight. How little I knew ye when I went to see the movie and came out totally in love with a boy whose first name I didn’t even know. And if you all only knew how much I miss the buffont!

New Moon Robward

We were officially in love. But, I had to wait what felt like forever to see you again in your full screen, high definition glory. Enter New Moon. Robward was so, so serious. New Moon is serious business. But the hotness was still there, even hidden in all the tweed!

Eclipse Robward

The saga continues, and my Robward love grew even more in this movie. A better wardrobe paired with not only a lovey dovey Robward, but also angry, kick ass Robward. Is there any better combination?? (Hint: The answer is no.)

Breaking Dawn Robward… Coming Soon! (Well, soon, but not soon enough!)

What Robward made you fall in love? What moment did you think “gah, I need to know MORE about this guy!” Share, share, SHARE!!

Ok, I’ve confessed on this international forum about my FF addiction. I can’t stop reading it, even though I take breaks now and then to read

My fave way of hiding the FF! Can you spot it?

actual books, like Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But, sadly, said books don’t hold half the attraction that FF does. As Edward says in Twilight, “You’re like a drug to me… my own personal brand of heroin.” It’s kinda like that. Heroin…scary.

When I’m at work and my DROID sounds off to an incoming e-mail and I take a peek and see it’s a FF update, I get this sharp little pain, because I know that I will tempted to stop work and indulge. Don’t tell my boss, but sometimes I do. Sometimes I wait until lunch and read it on my phone. Sometimes I go home for lunch and fire up the Mac. I long ago quit trying to read on my work computer. Not only are we monitored, but the porno filter can’t handle the word “breast.” Sigh.

My friends either do not share my FF addiction or they can’t keep up with my habit. I have no one with whom I can discuss important details and questions. So I’m sharing here with you, anonymous people, because you’re like me. Hi. My name is Red Koolaid, and I’m an FF Addict.

I have accounts on fanfiction.net and twilighted.net. I check daily for updates. I search for recommendations and “most read” tags. I read about 15-20 stories at any one time. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of them all. I can usually tell after the first chapter if a story is going to make it onto my favs list. If it doesn’t pass the test — delete, delete. If it doesn’t update enough — gone. I can’t wait six months for an update. By then I’ve totally forgotten what it’s about. I do love the completed ones because I can reread them and don’t have to wait for updates. I keep a secret stash for when the others are not updating fast enough.

I sometimes do reviews. And I love it when the authors reply. It gives me a little thrill. I try to be respectful. I know what it’s like for people to critique your writing.

I do obsess about some of these stories. The angsty ones get to me. Like “The Red Line.” It gave me nightmares. I had to constantly remind myself that it’s a work of fiction. Seriously, I don’t have a lot of empathy, but wow. Just sayin’

Now, let me elaborate on my current top 10. These come highly recommended by me.

1. Matter of Trust by quietruby

Think thats his "O" face? Yeah. That's the "O" face.

Love, love, love this story. Mainly because it seems plausible and Bella is the older woman! Yes! Love that scenario.

Bella is a teacher who gets stuck in an elevator with handsome British actor Edward Cullen. He asks her for a date and a budding romance soon develops. Bella is overly wary, but finally gives in to her heart and her hormones and the relationship advances. Edward invites her to California for spring break to experience his world. Unfortunately, this causes some angst for Bella as she has to witness steamy love scenes on the movie set and jealous behavior when they are out in public. After declaring their devotion to each other, Bella returns to her teaching career only to be fired for racy media photos of her and Edward. Putting Edward on hold, Bella moves back home with her parents to determine what to do with her life — keep her career and lose Edward, or take the plunge into a new career, even at the disapproval of her family. Will Edward wait? Can their love survive? I can’t wait to find out.

2. Open to Interpretation by elvis4scilla

No Bella or Edward in this story, but Marisa is 42 (gasp!) and is hired as 25-year-old Rob Pattinson’s interpreter on a media tour. (Love these older woman stories.) Sparks fly as both try to resist the attraction to one another. Marisa doesn’t want to get hurt, but a wise gentleman counsels her to let the younger man (Rob) take charge. And so she does. This is a hot and heavy romance and Rob is charming and sweet with all his British quips and adorkableness. (Yeah, he needs a fag after a good shagging…) When Rob’s mom tries to put an end to the romance, he steps up and won’t allow it. One non-related scene that totally stands out in my head is when Rob’s dad, Richard, wears a speedo by the pool at Rob’s house. Ok. I admit I’m secretly in love with Rob’s dad, but I can’t get this picture out of my head …. LOL.

There are lots of ups and downs for Marisa, but Rob remains steadfast in his love for her and is not afraid to show it or stand up to his family and friends to defend it. Really love this Rob. And I’m so wanting to be Marisa.

3. Incubus Anomaly by elusivetwilight

This is my fav vampire story. Edward is an incubus who has sex with women in their sleep, cuts them with his sharp knife, drinks a pint and then leaves them with a pleasant dream. His lifestyle makes him an outcast from his family, who, you know, drink the blood of animals — yeh, yeh, yeh. Then he meets his neighbor, Bella, who kicks ass and takes numbers after her abusive marriage to Jake. Edward and Bella are drawn to one another (la tua cantante and all that) and Edward finds he just can’t do the incubus thing anymore — he only wants Bella; but Bella doesn’t want to be “owned”. She figures out the vampire stuff and has to decide whether she wants to head in that direction or not, and Edward has to deal with his family and the Volturi, who won’t put up with this human girlfriend crap. Such fun. We are at the last chapter and I am sad that it is ending. My fav Bella expression, “Jesus pole-dancing Christ.” I think that sums it up.

4. Late Night Encounters by kyla713

Just found this gem and it ruled my week. Edward is an ER doc, who, because of his busy schedule and devotion to career can’t get laid (I can totally identify since I work in healthcare). His buddy, Emmett, gives him the URL of a cyber sex site that he visits on a whim, and meets Bella, a drunk and horny architecture student. Their cyber sex is incredible and they soon are online every night. Mics and webcams enter the picture as well. When they finally meet in the flesh for a sexy week in NYC, there is lots of flesh and sex. Just when you thought things couldn’t get better, something unexpected happens and they start to question where their relationship is headed. What to do… what to do… Eagerly awaiting the

So this is 50 Shades? I am intrigued...

answer.

5, Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon

I don’t even have to say anything about this masterpiece. Hands down, the best FF EVER! Icy rules. If you haven’t read this, then you will never die happy. I lost a week of my life when I read it last year… and now when I get update alerts for the second part … I schedule time so I can savor every word. Yeah, it’s that good.

6. Raw & Rosy by tuesdaymidnight

This was my first venture into slash. I admit, I had to look up “slash” on urban dictionary.com. I was a bit wary of the whole thing (Biel’s video got me interested …. I happened upon it and couldn’t figure out why no Bella in the video, LOL) but I liked this story. Jasper wants to kick (and spank) Edward’s ass; and Edward tries to figure out why he likes Jasper to kick (and spank) his ass. The prom scene is gold. The story ends well … and I, for one, learned a lot. Enuf said.

7. Discovering You, Discovering Me by JSFazz

Oh, how I love nerdy Edward. (Ok, I love dominant Edward too). Here he’s a pharmacist, who works at the local Walgreens-type drug store in Forks. Bella needs a job and is hired as his assistant. Edward is easily intimidated by the locals, but a great kisser, and Bella soon can’t keep her hands off him. Can she help him overcome his shyness? Can Edward keep Bella satisfied? Will she get him out of those dorky high waisted Dockers and penny loafers and into ass-clinging jeans and Doc Martens? You can bet your viagra prescription on it … (p.s. this story is so sexy you won’t need it.) I love the nerd gets girl happy ending (well, it’s not over yet, but that’s what I’m hoping.)

8. The Gentleman from Washington State by Betty Smith

Politics at its best. Bella is an intern in the office of Senator Edward Cullen. He’s 10 years older and has a rep as a womanizer; she’s smart and virginal. Even though they both know it’s wrong — they can’t stop themselves. Edward’s involved in a nasty re-election race against Jacob Black, Bella’s ex-boyfriend. Can he keep this relationship a secret, or will it ruin his chances at re-election? Can Bella handle the political pressure? What will happen if Edward loses the election? Gripping…

9. The Red Line by WinndSinger

Edward is a sex slave. Now, normally that would be pretty hot. But this story scared the hell outa me and made my heart hurt. And gave me nightmares. Especially that Raven bitch. I am going to hunt her down and kick her ass for hurting my Edward. Bella is a psychology student looking for a subject for her thesis. One night she goes to a club with Rosalie and Alice and finds Edward in a cage. She buys him for two weeks for

I do love me some Professor Masen!

$20,000 to be her subject. He thinks its a game and plays along, until she gets him to open up about his real life, and then she tries to save him. She even brings Charlie into the picture, who isn’t quite sure about his daughter dating a sex slave. There is so much angst in this story and so many crazy-ass mean people that it’ll make you crazy. But hang in, cause it ends on a positive note, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same.

10. University of Edward Masen by Sebastien Robichaud

This was a great English lit course. Dante and Beatrice et al. Brought back my college days, and uh, I’ll confess that one of the reasons I love this story is because I, Red Koolaid, in RL, had a thing for my college professor, who was 8 years older than me and it was kinda taboo and hot. Yeah, I married him. But I digress. Edward starts out as a real asshole, very rude and demanding. He has issues. Angst, angst. Bella is kinda naive and virginal, but she’s tougher than she looks. This taboo relationship develops into a great love, but they are discovered and forced apart. Mixed and missed messages can’t seem to bring them back together and when they finally do reconcile, the damage is deep. Can Bella forgive Edward? Can Edward give Bella the time and space to rekindle her love for him? This story is complete, so you can read it again and again and again.

Ok, I know there are about 18,000+ other Twilight FF stories out there, that I haven’t read yet. I’m working on it. I do have a RL job (in healthcare) and I do have a RL husband to manage (above referenced former hot college professor). My time is limited. However, I am an addict and I still need my fix. So until the methadone arrives… if you’ve got something, hook me up.

And sometimes you get even more then you wish for.

Example…. Breaking Dawn set pics. Jeebus. Can we cool it already?

Okay, I know you all are going to hate me for that comment. And I understand. Why would I want the influx of hot ass Rob to slow down?

I mean, really. How can I be sad about a picture like this?

Makey-outry times are good!

Or a picture like this?

C'mon, how can Rob with a guitar be bad??

That’s right, I am saying no more. I can’t care how adorb Kristen looks right here…

Yes. I do <3 The Stew.

Or right here…

Stop it Stewie! You're actually distracting me from Rob with your adorableness!

It’s all too much. And really? Do we need more pictures of Rob in a helicopter?

Rob? Is that you? I'm gonna assume yes.

Or do we need more pictures of what looks like Rob dancing?

Is that the Samba? Oh really, who cares? Dance Robbie... DANCE!

I mean really. This is all getting so ridiculious

It’s all too much… yet…

Not enough. Bring it on. Gimmie more. Although I am not a spoiler whore, me still likey all the set pics!

Who am I kidding? I could never say no to more Rob!
