Robert Pattinson fans, please step away from Robert Pattinson! PopWatch Blog EW.com

Sweet Jesus people it was just a movie, HE'S NOT A REAL VAMPIRE HE'S A FRICKEN PERSON GIVE THE DUDE SOME SPACE.

I apologize for the caps, but this is just ridiculous, I feel terrible for this guy. Though I do like how the writer shared that she too has been enamored enough to follow only 1 celebrity, but didn't approach them. As someone who has also followed [for no more than 15 seconds- I'm not a psycho] only 3 legitimate celebrities, I adore - Liev Schrieber (what a shock,) Zach Braff (right after Garden State came out outside of Monty Python's Spamalot) & David Frankel (have you seen the 2 eps of Band of Brothers he directed?) I never actually approached them, I just want to have them be in my orbit for all of 5 seconds.

trailer trash - Little Ashes

After sitting through the positively craptastic "Total Eclipse" the other night, I was sucked into this trailer for all it's potential awfulness. I think Pattinson's of the belief that if he "plays gay" people will take him more seriously as an actor...Errr, well it didn't work for Leo when he played Arthur Rimbaud and I doubt it's going to work for him as Salvador Dali. I think my man Bill Shakespeare summed up said predicament best when he wrote "Uneasy lies the head that wears Teen Heartthrob crown..." or something to that effect.

I feel bad for Robert Pattinson

As crazy as it may sound I honestly and truly do. As a huge fan of the Twilight Saga, I have obsessively consumed every piece of information available about the book to screen adaptataion of this pop culture phenomenon, but have always been aware it is not real. I haven't seen a frenzy and such utter and complete pandemonium like this since "Titanic" and that was crazy enough the first time around. After reading this Times of London interview with him I can't help but feel bad for him since in the eyes of so many of his underage"fans" (and their equally bonkers moms) he's nothing more than object and the embodiment of Edward Cullen a so called "perfect creature." Though obviously and in all honesty he's an attractive dude, he got really, really lucky fell into the role of a lifetime. The Hollywood machine can be a brutal beast that can chew one up and spit them out before the weekend their movie has been released is over. I wish the kid plenty of luck, but more importantly great work that legitmizes him as an actor rather than just a teen heart throb, because I think he's got the chops for it. And if the acting thing doesn't work out, he can always fall back on slowly, but surely developing music career like Joaquin Phoenix.

***I know I usually don't post about stuff like this, but I felt compelled to since, I legitimately and truly like the idea of him. I write "the idea" because I obvisously don't know him personally, but he reminds of a couple people I know so I want to root for him and wish him all the success in the world. Plus he's a musician at heart and as a Band-Aid I'm all about the music.

'Twilight' Movie Review

I'm not going to mince words or go into a long diatribe about this film. All I can say is that it is incredibly entertaining, preposterously silly and annoyingly delightful. I absolutely love Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight Saga," she's a brilliant writer with a distinct voice that has written a great book series with a legion of fans, who's passion boggles my mind. With that mentioned "Twilight" is a completely different artistic endeavor and entity and an ADAPTATION, and not a perfect book to screen copy, but certainly does the source material justice.

Director Catherine Hardwicke has done a stellar job helming this special little film, that just happened to turn into a ginormous pop-culture phenomenon. There's really not much else I can say accept go see the movie if you're interested or intrigued, and if you've actually read any of the Twilight Saga, seeing all the characters come to life will most certainly amuse and please you. It's just a cool movie, with a cool story, cast and fantastic soundtrack, that's worth seeing (maybe even more than once- and no I won't admit how many times I've already seen it.) My rating 8/10

The freaks/the fans come out at night! Post "Twilight" review.

I'll post a full review later, but I just have to say wow.
There were so many die hard fans out and that was probably the best part. I literally witnessed and was part of cultural phenomenon. The groups of girls wearing "Team Edward" t-shirts were all really nice, though I wish they threw some "V's," or what most people would assume is the symbol for peace.

Anyway the movie was solid, totally legitimate and relatively respectful to the source material, though in the end it was a film adaptation of a pretty fantastic book, literally and figuratively, so there were A LOT of cinematic conceits. Though overall the movie was as believable as possible considering its about vampires. Kristen Stewart was pretty damn great, Robert Pattinson could be the next James Dean he's that remarkable and Catherine Hardwicke is a badass goddess that helmed a fun, smart, young adult drama. But I do have to say the best part, aside from Robert Pattinson's hilariously painful brooding was that Radiohead's '15 Step' played over the credits...yes I know I'm obsessed but it was the cherry on top.

trailer trash- Twilight

so i haven't been posting as much this week, because i, like most people, was following the Election and subsequent win of President Elect Barack Obama. though the main reason to be perfectly and completely honest as to why i haven't been posting on the regular (thursday's were pre-drafted) is that i've been obsessively reading Stephanie Meyer's vampire-romance "Twilight." the series has sold over 17 million copies world wide and spawned a fan base that's reminiscent of that of Harry Potter.

coincidentally the film stars Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory in HP "Goblet of Fire," and the legitmately talented Kristin Stewart (who you may have caught in "Panic Room" when she was 11, or more recently in "Into The Wild,") as Edward Cullen the "unbelivably beautiful vampire" who falls in love the "incredibly clumsy human" Bella Swan. when i first saw the trailer for the film a few months ago, i was unimpressed and wondered "WTF is this POS." [which i might add is also how i felt the first time i saw the trailer for "The Matrix"...& ultimately ended up seeing 3 times in theaters.] but then Ms. Kelly lent me her copy of Twilight and i wasn't able to put it down to the point where i would have to remind myself to eat during my lunch break rather than just sit and read. the movie is directed by the eternally cool and incredibly talented Catherine Hardwicke, who also directed the heart-breaking and gut-wrenching drama "Thirteen" and "Lords of Dogtown." when "Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince" got moved from November 21st to next summer, Twilght's release was pushed forward to occupy that date and has created a frenzy and coverage like i have never seen before. i'm just hoping the film does this beloved book justice.
