I think I’m Dumb or maybe just Happy

I recently heard a rumor that was quickly dispelled about Rob being considered for a Kurt Cobain Biopic. While I love me some Rob, (Fucking yeah, buddy I do) I just can't see Rob playing Kurt.  Sure Rob was great as Art in How to Be.

Floppy hair check, ugly sweater check

But there is a huge difference between being cute and neurotic and being strung out on heroin while performing. Not to mention Kurt married the ultimate Yoko.

I've heard rumors that Ewan McGregor or James McAvoy are options as well. While I adore these men I just can't wrap my head around the idea of it. Ethan Hawke fifteen years ago would have been perfect, but alas he's a little old now, given that Cobain was 27 when he died and Ethan Hawke is now….forty, Jesus Christ. is he that old!

Though it's common knowledge, let me remind you that Kurt is from the PacNor (Aberdeen) and so I want someone who is from around here to do it. In this area we hold a few things sacred. Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and J.P. Patches. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana stand for the Northwest way of life. Come as You Are. (As long as you bring performance fleece and never carry an umbrella)


I would like to see someone who can really portray the torture and pain that Cobain exuded. He was a talisman for a generation and needs to be played by the right person. Personally I think Joe Anderson would be fabulous. I loved him in Across the Universe. His portrayal of a Vietnam vet in the 1960's was fantastic.

So please Courtney Love, don't fuck this one up. I am begging you!


Oh and FYI, way to shoot for the moon with having Scarlett Johansson play you. Dream a little Dream, huh?

Man Candy

Let me preface this by saying that I have never seen all of My Own Private Idaho. I have seen portions. I remember that Matt Dillon is in it. Was Kevin Bacon in it? If so then they would have be reunited in Wild Things which is the first lesbian kiss I had seen and the first movie I ever saw a shlong. (and it had to be the Bacon's didn't it?)*

No I haven't seen all of MOPI, (shortened because I'm lazy) but I do know this, there is a gay plot line. And because of the gay plot line I have heard on several occasions that MOPI is slang for a gay man or at least a homo erotic moment. Before there was the term "Brokebackian" the was My Own Private Idaho. Though something tells me that Brokeback Mountain was a little more forthcoming on the man on man candy scenes.

I brought the idea of this term to my father who is Idahoan. (Seriously spell check, that's how you spell it? Okay…) I delightfully informed him that the Term My Own Private Idaho is one that references young gay men. He thought it was quite funny and proceeded to call up several of his friends in Idaho to tell them. I haven't heard if they think it's as funny as he did.

Mr. plays a game online, some space shoot 'em game. On the game they have an erotica board where people post pictures of women in bikinis on top of cars. Recently someone has been posting shirtless pictures of Cristian Renaldo on there. While I find this very funny and slight tantalizing, Mr. is extremely put off by this. I tried to remind him that it is a Erotica board and that not everyone's definition of erotica is a tanorexic woman in dental floss straddling a GTO. I think all he heard was straddling….

*[Fuck...So neither Matt Dillion nor Kevin Bacon were in MOPI. So apparently I am just talking out my ass and didn't pay attention at all. Sorry Gus! Well, I stand by my shlong comment. Not cool Bacon, still not cool.]

Funny Video

So I love Jimmy Fallon. "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-Ichabod Crane called he wants his hair style back..." But mostly because he started a campaign to have the cast of Saved by the Bell reunite. I used to love that show and had the biggest crush on Zach Morris. Plus Jimmy played beer pong with Rose from Golden Girls.

The original Gangster

 

So, just imagine my delight when I saw that Rob made an appearance on the short "Robert is Bothered" It's always nice when a star is able to poke fun at themselves. Also I think in this video, Jimmy makes a better Rob than Rob does. I love you sweetie but you need to play it cool if you want any chance with me. All I'm saying!

The beginning of the end

I thought I knew what it was to love something. I had dated my husband for five years before getting married. I had shows that I watched religously. I thought I knew happiness.Up until September of 2008 I had never known obsession. Times were simpler then. I was a newlywed who helped my friends planning their weddings. I would go out with friends. I like to hike sometimes with my husband. We had no idea what would happen to me in a few months.

If only we knew what was in store......

It was Momma Sorrow who told me to read the books. I said I wasn't interested in reading a book about vampires that was written for twelve year olds. She urged me to try it. To placate her I took the book home. I began to read and finished the book that night. After work I went to the store and bought all four books in hardback. (Mr. Sorrow was not happy about that) I devoured the books in less then a week. I cried in New Moon. I spit on my book during eclipse. I stayed up until three in the morning finishing Breaking Dawn. My normally clean house became a disaster zone. I refused to do any housework and Mr.Sorrow had to remind me to eat.

When I reread them. I read them cover to cover, back to back until the movie came out. I saw the movie three days in a row at the theater. I went by myself book in hand and waited in line behind a group of prepubescent girls with Team Edward shirts. I kept my hood up to not be noticed by any of my peers. I confided in my best friend my obsession and she too soon was hooked. Together we saw the movie seven times. (Mind you that was together, we each saw in alone at least twice) We watched The Goblet Of Fire just to see R.Patz and then we watched the hours of special features. We then watched The Order of the Phoenix just to see his picture move for about two seconds. Pathetic yes. Worth it? Shit Yeah.

Hello there my young lover

Thank goodness you we're of age when this picture was taken.

We preordered the movie the day it was avaliable. I was done for. Eventually I began to acknowledge the hubby sometime around February. Since then I have walked a delicate line between abandonment and good wife.

Confession Tuesday

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.

This is me

K.Stew most articulate performance

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'll be your lover too

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.

confession time

I am crazy about Robert Pattinson. I love when he mumbles and talks about his toenails. When he wore the same stupid hat every frickin day while filming Remember Me. He just exudes a dirty sexy (and probably a little smelly) feeling. I say all this because when I first read twilight I wasn't sure if he would work. I was picturing someone darker. Someone who could be sinister. Someone you could be afraid of. Someone like I don't know.....This guy.

Hello Older Lover

I had seen Robert Pattinson in Harry Potter and doubted Cedric Diggory could pull off the darkness of Twilight. Edward was tortured and kinda creepy at times. I couldn't imagine him as sexy enough. And then I started looking into pictures of him. Such as these.

Sorry Damon Salvatore Robward wins.

Then I saw the movie. When you looked at Bella like you were going to tear out her throat I fell in love. I hadn't felt my heart skip like that since JTT was on the cover of Tiger Beat.

Hello my first boy toy lover

After some excessive twilighting research I was hooked. I am officially Team Rob. He won me over Body and soul and squee's. So as an apology to Rob (Because I know he is heartbroken by my admission. Here is a tribute to the wonderfulness that is Robert Pattinson.

You're welcome.
