Runaway to Remember Me

Robert in "Remember Me"
I don't think he has ever looked more beautiful.
Every shot. Every frame.
Perfection.

I saw RM...
I liked it.
I thought Robert was good.
I'm not sure I'm someone whose opinion
would really matter when it comes to Rob.
I think everything he does is brilliant.


Remember Me doesn't seem to be doing so great
at the box office.
I'm not an expert by any means.
My son told me about this site...
RottenTomatoes.com
It measures the percentage of positive reviews.
Remember Me had only 27%
Why?
No, it wasn't epic film-making...
But it was still pretty good.
Kinda sad. But it made you think.
And it has Robert Pattinson in almost every frame.

Why didn't all the "Twi-Hards" follow Robert
into Remember Me?
If you are a fan... You go see his movies.
Even when he's not Edward Cullen.
And that's part of the problem with Robert's fans.
They call him Edward.
They only want to see Edward.
They aren't interested in him outside of Twilight.
And that's sad...
Because Rob's best acting is going to be 
in movies where he's not Edward.
And it's a shame people will miss that.


The Runaways opened in limited theaters this weekend.
Which meant I didn't see it.
Which means I have to wait until April.
How did it do?
Depends on who you ask.
RottenTomatoes.com had it at 62%
That's pretty good.

I've heard lots of good things...
But then I tend to follow people who are
fans of Kristen Stewart.
So again... not really unbiased opinions.
I know I will go see it.
I guess only time will tell with this movie.
 What I want to know is this...
Why is there a 
WAR OF THE MOVIES?
Some Kristen fans want Remember Me to do poorly
so that The Runaways can beat it...
And of course...
We have some Robert fans blasting The Runaways
and saying it will NEVER beat Remember Me.
What.The.Fuck?
How can you even compare the movies?
WHY compare the movies?
RM is PG-13
TR is R-rated
RM is a doomed love story...
TR is a rock and roll biopic.
RM had a larger budget
Bigger advertising
TR is a small indie film
I don't get it.
The only thing the movies have in common
is the fact that each has a lead from Twilight.

I want BOTH movies to do well.
It's not one or the other.
Just because Remember Me does well
doesn't make The Runaways less of a movie.
Or vice-versa

Man, the whole Robert/Kristen bullshit
is so fucking out of control.
People will fucking argue over anything...
just for the sake of arguing.


And for the record...
RottenTomatoes.com gave New Moon 28%

And so it goes.

Bye for now.

Sunday's Soapbox


So.
Are you tired of being mooned?
Are you all New Mooned out?
Or is watching the movie over and over again...
JUST what the doctor ordered?

I've watched it a couple of times.
I'm kinda wanting to watch Twilight
and then New Moon...
But then we are talking about a 4 hour block.
That's a lot of time to dedicate to watching movies.
Especially when there are other people
in the house who really don't understand
or share my fascination.
So I either have to watch it when there isn't
anyone around...
Which is practically never.
Or wait until everyone is in bed.
Fast asleep.
And I can just focus on Robert.

He is beautiful in this movie.
Of course.
Robert could put a bag over his head...
and still his gorgeousness would come shining through.
Is that me saying that his beauty is more than just his face?
Well... it is.
I don't need to ramble on about all his many wonderful qualities.
If you love Robert... You already know what they are.
And while all the worn out cliches about
"beauty being more than skin deep"
or
"You can't tell a book by its cover"
are more than true in Robert's case...
He is so much more.
So much more.


Couple of Sunday Soapbox Rants...

(Thought you would escape that, huh?)

1. I get comments about why I don't address the Rob hate.
But I do.
I don't tolerate it.
But I don't go searching it out.
I do NOT go to the IMDb boards.
I do NOT read the comments on Ted's site.
I can't.
Of course I am aware of the extreme hatred
he is subjected to.
I've always said there are fucking lunatics
at both ends of the whole Rob/Kristen debate.
Is fucking lunatics too harsh?
If anything... it is too kind.
I love Robert Pattinson.
First and foremost.
I adore Kristen Stewart.
But my heart will always belong to Robert.
And it breaks when I read what some
of these scary people say about him...

 I don't get the overzealous extreme.
Rob gets called a lot of names.
People wish him hurt... or dead.
And for what?
Perceived notions of his behavior?
I never understood the feeling of entitlement
that some 'fans'  take on.
If Rob doesn't say or do the right thing
in their critical and oh so delusional eyes?
He is verbally abused and attacked.
It's a disgusting way to behave...
As if Robert owes you a damn thing.
Like he has to live his life...
According to what some paranoid psycho
has deemed appropriate.
Good Fucking Grief.

And of course... 
Kristen gets even more bullshit thrown at her.
Mostly because Kristen is female...
and since most of the fandom is female...
They are harshest on one of their own.
You know its true.
I've been a female my whole damn life...
and women aren't always very nice to other women.
It's just the way it is.
Catty, vindictive and cruel.
And all I have to ask is Why?
Because you don't like her 'bitchface'?
She doesn't behave the way you think she should?
She doesn't dress the right way?
She gets to hang out with Robert?
Doesn't it sound silly to you?
Beyond ridiculous?
I would hope so.
But I know that some feel justified
in their constant hatred.

So what to do?
 
And as we all know in life, 
it's useless to obsess about things
over which we have no control.

Sounds good to me.

Bye for now.

Love Under The New Moon

So.
The New Moon DVD is out.
Did you go to a 'release' party?
Wait in line to get it?
Did I?
That would be a No.
As much as I want to have the DVD in
my grubby little paws...
Waiting in line at midnight with a bunch
of squirming tweenies?
That would be a No.
I'm hoping to get it today.
The major reason would be
THIS....


Even a damn picture of the parking lot strut
makes goosebumps break out...
And 
I start breathing a bit more heavily...
I guess you would call it Panting.
Something like that.
*sigh*
I really do hate that Robert has this..
This..
uncontrollable effect on me.
and just when I thought I was out...
He fucking PULLS me back in.

I love Robert Pattinson.

Too damn cute!

Anyway.
Kristen seems to have cleared her plate.
She's possibly done promoting The Runaways...
What's next?

Well... I'm sure she has some stuff in the works.
But.
A little free time?
Perhaps a trip to ...
London?
;)

I love how the very notion of Kristen
going over to where Robert is...
Pisses people off.
Seriously.

Hater: "Stay in LA, Bitch! Following Rob is PATHETIC!
It screams GET A LIFE!"

Um.
If you were in a relationship with someone...
and you were separated for weeks at a time
Wouldn't you want to be with them 
if you could?
Of course you would.

The Haters are clinging to the hope
that Robert just wants it 'casual' and wants his space.
Really?
I'm sure all those intimate thoughts and feelings
were magically relayed through pictures
taken at the "Remember Me" premiere!

For all you or I know...
Robert is frantically calling Kristen
to bring her leather clad ass over there 
as soon as possible!

It's all just speculation.
Right?
;)


Couple of things.

1. Someone left a comment criticizing "ROBsessed Blog"
I'm too lazy to go back and read it again...
But it basically said that they trash Robert?
No.
Just NO.
ROBsessed Blog LOVES Robert Pattinson.
And anything that would seem critical of him...
is all sarcasm and humor.
Believe me.
They LOVE Robert.
And how do I know this?
Because I love ROBsessed Blog.
I was there at the beginning.
There were maybe 10 followers.
First Goz and Dani...
And now Goz, Kate and Kat.
And I don't just like these girls...
I fucking love them.
Love them.
I consider each one a close personal friend.
Take the hate somewhere else.

2. I was told that because I twittered
too much about Kristen
That someone was 'unfollowing' me.
I must have missed the daily quota of Rob.
Here's the deal...
I'm pretty sure I can tweet whatever the hell I want.
If I want to wax poetic about Conan O'Brien
For 24 fucking hours
(which would be easy to do)
I will.
I'm thinking that since its MY Twitter account.
I can Tweet/Twitt/Twatt
What I'm interested in.
So... 
Buh-Bye.

People telling me what to blog about...
What to Twitter about...
What to think...
What to feel...
Is getting kinda old.
Truly.

Oh yeah.
Robert loves Kristen loves Robert.

And so it goes
;)

Bye for now.

Politics, Religion and Robsten...

Lots of Random Thoughts.
I really do think too much.
Way.
Too.
Much.

Anyway.


JFC.
Robert Fucking Pattinson...
You will be the death of me.
Maybe I'm already dead and just don't know it...
And I'm like fucking haunting the internet
having to stare at endless pictures of you walking...

Oh. It never ends.
It's a little bit like heaven on earth.
Or hell.
Not sure which.
Right now it kinda feels hot in here...
and I feel like I'm on fire...
And.
Fuck.
I'm in hell.
Figures.


Kristen and Dakota in Austin.
Kristen looks badass rock and roll.
Love it.
And that brings me to my random thoughts.

1. Someone commented on my blog yesterday, telling me
that my blog had changed... that *I* had changed...
and not for the better.
It was thought-provoking.
Is it true?
Yes. No.
When I started this blog I would ramble endlessly about
Robert Pattinson.
How he made me feel.
How I loved looking at him.
How I didn't understand why I felt the way I did.
I don't do that as much anymore.
Oh, I still love looking at him.
And I still don't understand why he makes me feel
the way that I feel...
But how many different ways can I say the same thing?
And most importantly...
My feelings for Robert seem to have changed.
Although he still makes me weak at the knees...
Still makes my heart ache...
My stomach clench...
I find myself not being as obsessed as I once was.
That is a good thing... yes?


2. One of the main things that has changed since I 
started this blog is my adoration of Kristen Stewart.
I was indifferent at first... 
but the more I saw...
The more I got to 'know'...
The more I liked.
That seems to rub people the wrong way.
Liking Kristen Stewart.
I'm not sure why that is.
I don't understand why my being a fan of Kristen
(and of Robert/Kristen being together)
should piss anyone off...
It doesn't make any sense.
People take it to a personal level.
They attack you...
Call you names
Become so angry and upset with you
Why?
What difference does it make to you
if I believe Robert and Kristen are together?

So now...
Instead of over-analyzing my feelings for Robert
I find myself analyzing the intense fury that 
surrounds him and Kristen.
The storm of emotions that follow two people
over whether or not they are dating.
Sounds ridiculous, right?
But fascinating.
Because it's not only the incredible swirl of consuming feelings
that are brought to a boil at just the mention of "Robsten"
It's the ever present NEED to be RIGHT about it.

It's a lot like discussing Politics or Religion.
People become overheated.
Overzealous.
Overwrought.
And although I believe there is a place for 
everyone's opinion...
There are some who just see it in Black and White.
You either are on their side...
Or you're the enemy.
No ifs, ands or buts.
Can't win for losing...
 
3. Do I have a tendancy to stick my big ol' paddle
into that big pot of bullshit...
and just stir the hell out of it?
You betcha.
I like to see what floats to the top...
But I don't start the drama.
I don't seek it out.
I don't cause it.

I react to it.

Does that make me a bad person?
I don't think so.
A little crazy... yeah.
A little addicted... sure.
But I'm not mean.
And I don't get personal.
And most importantly?
I really don't give a fuck if you like Kristen.
Or if you believe Rob and Kristen are together.
I do.


And you probably do, too...
Or you wouldn't get so damn upset with me
or anyone else who is a believer.

But it's all right now...
In fact, its a gas!

Bye for now.
;)
