For all those Twilight fans who can’t make the separation between Rob and Edward, this may be a difficult post to read. Rob is by no means the perfect man. He is not a Greek god placed on earth for all of the women to place on a pedestal to which all other men will be compared. And that’s okay.
This whole thought process started last week, after his first and only experience tweeting. I realized that while I love Rob, he is not always going to be on his “A” game. And I am totally cool with that. I love imperfect Rob!
But, come to think of it, I can actually think of five things that I would change about Rob, right now, today if I could.
Must. Refrain. From. Plucking.
1. Someone please introduce that boy to a set of tweezers.
I am not asking for Edward sculpted eyebrows, but there are moments, especially in How to Be, where I find myself right next to screen, trying desperately to will the stay hairs away with just my will power. I know it’s a pain in the ass Rob, but trust me. I would never steer you wrong!
More things I would LOVE to change about Rob, after the jump…Continue reading
Since I live in the middle of nowhere where cool indy films don’t make appearances and I chose to have DirecTV versus cable so I don’t have IFC On Demand, it really did take me this long to sit down and watch How to Be.
The movie is freakin’ hilarious, but you know what I like best about it? (Hint: It’s not Rob. I know, shocker. Please refrain from throwing an copies of Twilight at me, thanks!) It’s his friends, Ronny and Nicki, that really steal the show. Not Rob’s fault, his character is so depressed that he just doesn’t make me laugh as much as the other guys!
Anyway, I think it’s a fun watch, and if you enjoy a nerdy Rob (which I just so happen to!), then you’ll like it! Now, if they can just figure out when they want to release this on DVD in the U.S., then I would be a happy camper!
For those of you who haven’t seen it (or maybe those that have but want to revisit it), here is video of all the best moments of the movie, courtesy of Camerashy88. Enjoy!
I come from an EXTREMLEY athletic family. Everyone plays a sport. EVERYONE! And if you aren’t at least decent at one, you kind of get shunned. I know, I know…luckily I was pretty decent at softball so I was safe!
And there have been these videos that completely mock poor Robbie’s athletic ability, or lack there of. I love that Rob is uncoordinated and kind of the opposite of what I’ve grown up with. Awww… refreshing, but still effing hilarious!
Enjoy the non-athletic world of Rob Pattinson!
I realize the first video is from a movie, so you could make the argument that he was just acting. But no, I really don’t think so. There is no way you can fake that kind of suckiness!
I have no doubt in my mind that Kellan is NOT exaggerating on this!!
Rob’s running is cute, like a mountain goat. WTF?!?
And, from the “mountain goats” mouth, he at least admits to running like string cheese.
Wonder why the hell my blog name doesn’t match what I blog about? Would you like to change that? Then enter my “Name My Blog” Contest! It will be fun, and there is a real prize, I promise!!
A couple months ago, when I started this blog, and never thought ANYONE would read it or give a crap what I had to say. Now that I have a following, I realized that they may have missed some of my really good posts from the beginning.
This Saturday, let’s take a journey down memory lane and go back in time and see some of my favorite posts!
Oh Rob, there you are, living the dream…and you can’t get your damn mind off of Hot Pockets.
But c’mon Rob, if you are going to have an inner monlogue we can all hear (ala Edward style), you should think of more important things. Like me, naked, surrounded by Hot Pockets…I mean, er, um, about how wonderful all of the movies are and what an honor it is to be there!
Hmmm...those pants are fitting a little too snuggly...and I like it!
I could not understand why Stephanie (aka FakerStephanieR) would be concerned that you may need to pay for your tux, but after seeing this picture, I can understand. Looks like SOMEONE decided to go commando in the rental…and, um, wow!
Steph, no worries, this is an opportunity for you to make that money back plus. How you ask?
I will buy those pants off you right now…just name your price. But, seriously, if you washed them, the offer is rescinded. And if Rob sweat in the them ever so slightly, I will double my offer. Mmmmmmm…(I know, I’m disgusting!)
See easy money!
Want to really bank? If you send the pants with Rob STILL WEARING THEM (commando, of course), well, I will give you my first born. Seriously, and you don’t even have to wait because he is sitting here right next to me!
It’s just good to see that big feet really do equal a big you-know-what!
Today (and by today, I mean yesterday because I write these all a day before they post!), lucky cable subscribers everywhere now have the option to watch How to Be on IFC Festival Direct.
Too bad that the cable company here is the devil and I have Directv, which will NOT be airing How to Be on any channels (trust me, I check everyday). Since I know I am not the only one, sitting here being sad because I can’t watch a-dork-able Rob, I decided to dedicate today’s to the movie and try and help us all pass the time until we can get our hands on a copy of this movie.
First, some pics…
Replace Art's parents with me and, well, clone of me, and we'll have some fun!
I've already given my thoughts on this one... (One of my first posts, but funny so check it!)
So a-dork-able! How I love this side of Rob!
Rob at the Austin Premiere. Unfortunantly, he's probably answering some lame Twilight question right here.
And now, some How to Be videos…right after the jump!
Not only do we get 3 new songs from Rob, it’s a 23 track collection (so you actually feel like you’ll get your monies worth), PLUS you’ll get a 12-page booklet featuring song lyrics, new How To Be photos and one of two randomly selected fold-out posters of Robert Pattinson and the cast. And 250 fans will have their booklet poster signed by Rob!!
Firstly we’d like to say a big sorry you everyone that the change to the pre-order date was such a pain.
It’s because of the amount of interest from folks like you that we realised there was going to be a lot more demand for the Soundtrack than we initially thought. This meant in order to make sure we could meet demand and exceed everyone’s expectations, that a lot more work had to go into various areas.
There has been no update on the date to make sure this didn’t happen again. I can confirm though that big news is literally days, if not hours away. So do keep up do date with our facebook page or look out for the Dreamboat and How To Be emails that will be coming to everyone who’s signed up.
Take Care

So, I’m officially removing Dreamboat Records from my list, because frankly, they now ROCK!! (And, you’ll rock even more if you put that Rob signed booklet in my hand, justsayin.) Just leave a comment and I’ll be happy to forward my name to you to ensure I’m part of that 250!
Well, things just keep getting weirder for me now…
On Sunday night, we actually watched the commentary together. That’s right. In fact, when I started to watch the commentary without him, he got mad and said I had to turn it off and wait on him.
We watched it all, and he laughed throughout, and said he thought Rob was quite funny during the whole thing. I couldn’t believe it. Then yesterday he said he wanted to watch the rest of the special features (of course, I’ve already watched them all but said I didn’t mind doing it again with him).
AND, to top of everything, he said he wanted to see Little Ashes and How to Be and we should see where they are showing. Seriously, he was on his iPhone Google-ing Rob. I even heard him watch the infamous Jizz in my Pants video.
So, now I’m wondering… Who is this man in front of me and where did my actual husband go?!? Oh, and if your the one that stole my real hubby, that’s fine. I kinda like the new unicorn that lives in my house! He is just awesome!
This scene looks so interesting...too bad I have no idea what is going on!
First off, I want to say that I am so excited that How to Be is doing so well. That it great news for my boy Rob’s career (that’s right, I said MY BOY). And I’m sure its a great movie. Really sure!
UNFORTUNATELY, I may never (and by never, I mean until it comes out on DVD) know because the film will not be shown anywhere near me! I’ve already been denied the soundtrack for an undetermined amount of time (thanks Dreamboat Records), and now I’m being denied the full movie.
Well, if you haven’t seen it yet, here is the latest US schedule. Maybe you will be lucky and have a showing near you, or maybe you will be angry and disgruntled, like me.

C’mon movie scheduling guy! I live right smack dab in the middle of the US, within driving distance of several major
You can do it Rob...come to Oklahoma, and bring your movie with you!
cities (including Dallas and Kansas City). People in the midwest, central, south part of the country love Rob, too! Please share!!
“I really didn’t want it to look like I was trying to cash in.”
Understood, and I respect that from Rob (even though I won’t lie, I’m SOOO disappointed). However, while Rob may not be looking to cash in on the Twilight/New Moon mania, it doesn’t seem like other musicians have ANY problem jumping on board the money train.
Hey New Moon soundtrack producer guy, whoever you are, you want to know a real quick way to LOSE a buck on a franchise that can’t seem to stop
Hey JoBros...why don't you jump on ANOTHER band wagon?
Let’s keep the soundtrack what it was for the original movie. Lot’s of rock (not pop rock, real rock) and bands/singers that are relative unknowns. I’ve had a couple of suggestions with Hana Pestle and Tyrone Wells.
“I might make an album but not through a record company or anything. I’d like to do something independent. I don’t care if people buy it or not. I’d just like to have it just for myself so I can work with good musicians and stuff.”
What?!? People actually WANT to hear my music?!?
Really Rob?!? Do you really think we wouldn’t line up (and by line up, I mean pre order off some website so I don’t have to fight a 13-year-old tween for a copy, cause I would)? You did read my angry letter to Dreamboat Records for not hurrying up with the release of the How to Be soundtrack, and you only have like, what, 4 songs on that.
You are so adorably sweet and innocent, although I could definitely change that innocent part real quick, ifyouknowwhati’msaying.
To take a note from my ladies over at LTT/LTR, I’ve composed this letter to Dreamboat Records (the company releasing the soundtrack to the movie How to Be:
How much longer to you plan to keep these tunes out of my hands? It's bad enough I can't go and see the movie...
Dear Dreamboat Records-
Seriously, did you really think you could fool me?
This morning, around 11 a.m., back on the site, still says March 1, but there is no where to order. Hmmmm….
3 p.m. – Back to the site, credit card in hand. I’m sooo ready to buy this thing. The money is burning a hole, but nothing.
Aboout 7:30 p.m., I finally here from one of my good friends on Twitter that the press release has now been changed from March 1 to “soon”. WTF?!? No explanation, no nothing!
Now I am sad. I was really looking forward to some new Rob tunes, but now it looks like I’ll have to wait for who knows how long.
Where is my explanation, Dreamboat? Where is it?
Sincerely waiting for your reply,
me
Note: In case I missed it, if anyone knows what the deal is, PLEASE let me know. This is killing me!!
Seriously, my husband may have turned into a real unicorn
This weekend, I posted a blog about the experience that was my husband
My real life unicorn! (Ribbon has been added to protect the innocent.)
sitting down with me to watch Twilight and ACTUALLY enjoying it. So much to the point that he told me he’d go to see New Moon with me.
Well, things just keep getting weirder for me now…
On Sunday night, we actually watched the commentary together. That’s right. In fact, when I started to watch the commentary without him, he got mad and said I had to turn it off and wait on him.
We watched it all, and he laughed throughout, and said he thought Rob was quite funny during the whole thing. I couldn’t believe it. Then yesterday he said he wanted to watch the rest of the special features (of course, I’ve already watched them all but said I didn’t mind doing it again with him).
