I have decided to make Tuesday. Confession Tuesday. Has a nice ring don't you think? So my confession involves a certain ruddy cheeked, flannel wearing man. (shocked I know) I am still coming to terms with my Robsession. I pretend that it isn't that strong but then I scoured the internet for any new pictures of him walking from a restuarant to a cab. I spend a huge chunk of my day reading about him, his favorite foods and beer. (Heiney for my man.)
I could watch this clip over and over. I love Austin Powers. Also I am representing the fabulous Canucks that are harboring our mumbling boy.
This isn't about Heineken though. This is about a small indie movie. (Not little ashes that is whole other post entirely) No this is about How To Be. Have you heard of it. I thought so. It wouldn't be out in the states so I pulled a fast one and I preordered it from Amazon.uk in late August. I waited patiently for two weeks to have it delivered to me. I tore the cardboard and threw away the british ads. I eagerly put it into the dvd player and nothing. Thinking that my brand new dvd player was broken I put it into my computer. Nothingness. Little did I know DVDs from the UK don't work here. I spent the money to have a useless DVD sent to me from Great Britain.
Sister Sorrow is very involved in pageants. She has held several titles over the years. Although I am three years older then her everytime she competes they try to recruit me. I polietly inform them that I am too old and too married. (not to mention completely nontalented.) Enjoy this video of my dancing abilities.
Just take a wild guess which one is me. Hint I'm the idiot who fell down.
I do regret not doing pageants when I was older. It would have been a great way to brush up on my mad interview skills not to mention who doesn't like prancing around in bikini in front of thousands of people. This made me think of Bella. How would Bella do in a pageant? I would imagine horribly. (much like me.) She would probably fall off the stage. KStew would probably do a good job though. I can see her breaking it down old school. A little jig perhaps. You don't see it? Okay maybe not. But wouldn't she make a cute pageant girl? She could be Miss Ganja. Or Miss Stutterific.
Blank Expression check
And I give you a funny video of a Pageant song. Warning it contains very adult themes.
I am struck by the idea that Mike Newton doesn't get the props he deserves. Michael Welch is a cute guy. If he was in any other movie he would be just fine. The problem is that he is surronded by these guys to compare to.
.
oops how'd he get in here?
Poor Newt never stood a chance. I wish that he could get the recognition he deserves. He is cute boy when he wants to be.
I'm only talking to you because my brain is bleeding
I can appreciate Mike Newton. It is obvious that had those super hot sparkly vampires never shown up Mike would have been the big man on campus. We all went to school with Mike Newton. The lovable jock who was cute and funny. Some of us dated Mike Newton. (I dated the Eric Yorkie's and not the cute Justin Chon character but the nerdy chess club kid from the book.) I know I had a friends that went out with Mike. He is a good enough boy in a small town. That is all he is. I have no doubts that had the Cullens never came to Forks Bella would have given Mike a chance. (I'm not sure about Jacob, maybe when they were older....) Of course the story wouldn't have been very good. Nobodu really cares about an awkward stumbling girl who falls in love with some random jock from school. Whoop de do! So give The Newt a chance if not for his everyday cuteness for the fact that he likes the Boobs. (And I have those.)
The jury is still out on Kristin Stewarts acting skills. I liked her for the five minutes she was in Into The Wild. I never saw panic room but she was ten or something when that came out. I read Speak long ago and was very pleased with her performance in the movie. however it should go without saying that she hardly "speaks" in the movie. (Oh aren't I witty.) I was impressed with her variation of Melinda. I thought it was a powerful performance.
This is my happy face
In Twilight I'm not so sure. She certainly has the clumsy awkwardness down. It's her charm and likability that is hard to connect with. It could be in part because she doesn't come across as gracious for the huge cash cow that landed in her lap along with a super sexy costar.
That would turn my frown upside down
I recently heard about this little indie movie directed by Mary Stuart Masterson (To Wanda!) that costared K.Stew. I heard it was a gritty "Walk to Remember" (BTW bambi is grittier than a walk to remember) I decided to give it a try. I have to say that this is not a tween movie. Of course this isn't a tween blog so I am assuming you are all mature enough to see this movie. I found Kristen's portrayal very moving and endearing. She exuded the warmth I wish we could see in Twilight. If she put that much into Bella we'd be in business. The thing that strikes me the most is that she plays a girl with Friedreich's ataxia, a nueroligical disease that causes damage to muscle control as well as speech. Simply put she sounds drunk all the time and falls a lot. And she was far more articulate then in Twilight.
sputter Uh, urm a no no no. you you you sputter
So if you are up for a good Kristen Stewart performance, I would suggest The Cake Eaters. Here is a trailer if you don't believe me.
I have been hearing reports that Robert Pattinson might be contributing to the Eclipse soundtrack.If this is the case I hope it goes through.. At the end of Twilight when Bella is dying I was stuck by the haunting music and soulful voice of the singer. I quickly researched it to find out that it was our own Rob. He contributed not one but two beautiful songs to the movie.
I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know you've been saved
swoon!
I certainly hope that Rob will get to produce at least one song for the soundtrack. I personally would buy anything if he was singing on it. (Who am I kidding I'm this close to buying a 100 monkeys CD) So to sway any naysayers I give you the musical stylings of Robert Pattinson singing my favorite of his songs.
I can't get over how soulful his voice is. He sounds so great and his lyrics are so touching. I can't wait to hear more from him. Also I know that this song is originally a Van Morrison. I just really like Rob's rendition.
Here is a video of Anya Marina's (By the way who cool is that name) new song from the New Moon soundtrack. I wasn't sure at first if I liked the song but now it is really growing on me. The lyrics capture the heartbreak perfectly. I also am starting to like the sound of her voice. Gravely and tormented. I think this song will be perfect in the movie. Sorry for the background noise. It ws the best version I could find.
Beware of some mature content in here. You've been warned.
This is just the rantings of a woman who is slightly crazy. Obviously I am a bit narcissistic. I have obsessive tendencies toward a multitude of teenage directed materials. I should grow up already-but alas, here I am.
