Rob: At ComicCon or trying out for the role of Mr. Snuffleupagus?

Hey Rob, we understand your climb to fame was meteoric. One day, you’re chillaxin’ with your guitar in coffeebars and, then the next day, the gates of hell are threatening to open up to suck you in.

But never fear, my brother, the Twilight Newborns have launched their own PR bootcamps for “Men Would Have Been Cast as Edwards in Twilight Movie Adaptations.”

Our sessions include:

• “How to Diplomatically handle pushy reporters”
• “The Art of the Snarky Comeback”
• “Pretending to sleep to avoid annoying questions”
• “The ‘What Game” (“What? What did you say? I can’t hear you, what!?!’)”
• “Dressing for Success: Choosing a Slimming Beanie”
• “Using your British accent to lull reporters into a false sense of security”
• “It’s Ok to say you aren’t dating your co-worker”
• and finally “So Your Fans Sound like the Gates of Hell”

Hot Pocket buffet lunch and continental breakfast are included in the cost.

Also, invite a friend and save! Only good for male British actor friends you know who might have put their foots in their mouths during Sundance Film Festival <cough, Orlando>.

OUR 100% GUARANTEE: After this boot camp, quotes like “I’m allergic to vagina,” no matter how true, will magically never be uttered again.

Little Ashes (See official movie website)

Probably one of Rob’s least relate-able roles for Twilight fans, Little Ashes is a love story spanning two decades between real-life poet Federico García Lorc (Javier Beltrán) and painter Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson) that starts during their college days in post WWI Spain.

Truthfully, I was expecting to like Little Ashes more than I did. It isn’t a good film. It starts slow and doesn’t provide enough explanation of what is happening. Kudos to Rob for throwing himself into the part, but Dali is very tough character to play. And here is why (as explained by Wikipedia): “Dalí was highly imaginative, and also had an affinity for partaking in unusual and grandiose behavior, in order to draw attention to himself.” Translation: Dali was weird genius and always caused a scene.  Not someone who is easy to relate to.  Also the craft of painting never translates well in film  (exception given to  Stephen Dorff and painting with his woman in Backbeat, FTW!).

I am Dali! Love me!

Robsessed (See movie website on myspace)
With Robsessed, a Robert Pattinson documentary, the opposite is true: I liked this movie more than I expected, though I had low expectations. All the reviews had said it was a rehash of many interviews and photos of him, which is true. But I liked most of the experts (Rob isn’t interviewed at all for this documentary). It is a bit icky that they were mostly British taloid press (not the most credible journalists). But they were interesting and well-informed. The film uses some paparazzi photos and even interviewed a Vancouver-based one. The other people who appear include a Renasty Award Winner and “superfans” of Twilight/Rob, and of course, they came off nutty (can’t we Twilight fans ever catch a break in the media?). There was even an interview with the girl who was in the infamous boy-ploit photos of Rob from his teen modeling days:

Sorry...I had to post it! Just look away and go to your happy place.

But overall, i thought it was a decent summary of his career so far. I totally agree that no matter how many pairs of bottle glasses and Cosby sweaters you put on a Rob (as in the Bad Mother’s Handbook), you just can’t hide the pretty girl within:

I feel sad about that outfit too, Rob.

Dejeuner loves him some Heidi Sierra

Our website of the week from Episode 35 is Heidi Sierra. Heidi has an album of Twilight-inspired music titled, Twilight Obsession.. We can relate! About Heidi, from her website:

At a time where she felt to write music only for herself, she came across a little book called Twilight. Fascinated by the story and supernatural love she read more into the saga. No sooner a song was born called “Never Existed”, a song about one of the characters in the story. This new obsession led into writing more Twilight inspired songs. The excitement of the songs prompted Heidi to share her songs with as many Twilight fans as she could.

Sample her sound and check out her websites at heidisierra.net or at myspace.com/heidisierramusic.

Pocket Alice has quite the badunkatrunk, don’tcha think?

Christmastime in Forks

Here are our lyrics from Episode 34’s intro, Forks Noel.

Dashing all thru Forks
in a beat-up Chevy truck
I’ll pass that silver Volvo
And make him eat my dust

Past Charlie’s old house
Then out past Forks High School (Go Spartans!)
Drop some gifts off at the Cullens
And head out to the res

Oh! Forks Noel, Forks Noel
Celebrate the weird
Everyone here things we’re fine
And nothing to be feared

Oh! Forks Noel, Forks Noel
Christmastime at last!
The Newborns share their specials gifts
in this holiday podcast!

First, the gifts:

You got to wear a classy gift for your junk when in black-tie.

What!?! You wanna us to go to jail?

Just a man and his box out on the town

Whoa there, Hornybone! Keep those naughty bits covered!

A little extra shade was needed for the man parts.

And now the poll:

• Website comment: Luxie: “Wow Melissa, Christen… you girls are dedicated! And we love you for it!!! I too agree that the vamp makeup was a bit clownish/technicolor at times. I agree too ’bout the Volturi scene…..
Why couldn’t Alice fight back (a little at least?) And damn… did Edward get his @$$ handed to him or what? Maybe it was due to him being weak from not feeding regularly when he was in hiding, away from Bella. In the book doesn’t Bella mention (on the way home when she thinks she’s dreaming) that ‘her Edward’ was usually more well fed… she was taking about his eyes being black….That reminds me…. what color were Edward’s eyes in Voltera? Were they golden? ‘Cause they shoulda been black, right?

Robert Pattinson as Art in How to Be. The layers make the man.

I know this is sort of random, but I put the songs from Robert Pattinson’s movie, How to Be (2008), in the order they appear in the film. There is a spoiler-free list followed by a list describing where the song appears in the film.  All songs appear on the soundtrack of How To Be, except where noted.

Of course, we have the same list for Twilight and New Moon, if you want to check it out.

If you’re a huge Rob Pattinson fan, such as moi, you should check out How to Be. As an American, I describe it as very “British.” Rob is excellent in it and his character is as far from Edward Cullen as vampire-ly possible

Pocket Edward prepares for New Moon by getting a wolf-pack six-pack

Just like every other Twilighter, I am in the throes of preparing for the upcoming New Moon premiere this week. If you are caught up on the latest Twilight Newborns podcast, you know Christen and I have passes for a New Moon screening in Cincinnati on Wednesday Nov. 18.

We hope we can get in since more passes are given out than there are seats. And we’re no Twilight fools. We saw the mammoth autograph cue line at TwiCon, and we witnessed how even a Pocket Edward can cause a stampede. These things can get intense.

So we’re formulating our strategy now to make sure we see the movie: (1) get there before school lets out (2) have bribe money (3) put in a good word with the Big Guy in the Sky.

The good thing is there is so much The Twilight Saga: New Moon goodness out there that preparing for the movie has been as easy as imprinting.

I wanted to share my list with you and let us know what you’re doing to get ready for the big premiere!

• Bought passes to see the New Moon screening on Wednesday thanks to Christen and her amazing Craigslist skillz
• Bought tickets to the midnight showing for Friday, Nov. 20. There is NEVER enough Edward!
• Listening the New Moon soundtrack on repeat in car, at work, in my dreams. My favorite song is “All I Believe In”, which is a bonus song from iTunes by The Magic Numbers And Amadou & Mariam. I skip to that song all the time.
  
• Catching up on Twilight podcasts. There are a plenitude of great podcasts out here (including our own, of course). If you want to supplement your Twilight Newborns podcasts, check out Imprint, Twilight Series Theories and The PattyCast.
• Recording those Twi-Cast TV appearances. Check out this list from MSN.
• Get Pocket Edward a werewolf outfit (See above). Or, better yet, get a Pocket Jacob.
• Checking out these Italy set photos from Chris, Fan of the Week Emeritus.
• Wash that Hot Topic “I Dreamed of Edward Cullen” t-shirt. Christen will thank me if I do.

Remember to share your list in the comments! And we still want to hear from you on our poll, “How excited are you to see the New Moon movie?”

What Team Edward means to me….

What being on Team Edward means I am cheering for him and believe he should get to be with Bella.  I know Jacob is the logical choice but love isn’t logical.  Now does that mean I want Edward to my self? Of course! I think all women do but being Team ____ means you’re hopeful that the character will overcome the conflict in front of him.  Edward had to deal with deciding if being with Bella was right or wrong.

~Cari

By LexxyKat:

I think that there are teams in the twilight fandom for two reasons. One: just personal preference. They would just rather that Bella be with Edward and/or Jacob. Reason two: they LOVE Edward or Jacob and want them to be with them. Like you both want Edward and Robert for yourselves not Bella. I personal love Jacob. For one he is beautiful, he knows the right things to say, he would let you do what you wanted whenever (unless it would be with Edward) unlike Edward. Edward just cares to much and Edward does pressure Bella into doing things like getting married. Because everyone who has read the books knows one of the reasons Bella married Edward was for the sex. But whenever Bella is with Edward it’s akward. The biggest reason I think Jacob would have been a better choice is because bella and Jacobs feelings for each other are natural. But Bella and Edwards love is based on curiosity and enfacuation (or however you spell that). Edward can’t read bellas mind it bugs him he’s curious to know why. Bella likes him because he’s beautiful. I got totally off subject. I feel being on a team jacob is both who I want to be with both bella and myself. And he’s just my personal preference. And to end it all I am and will be forever team jake.

By Katy:

Jacob Black is a werewolf, with tanned skin, brown eyes, very tall and a kind personality. Edward Cullen is a vampire, pale, marble like skin, golden eyes, and very protective.

I am the palest white you have ever seen, most people think I’m sick most of the time. So, because Jacob is so tanned, if I stood beside him then id look like a ghost and id rather not. Edward is pale so that I would totally blend in with him and we could be two white “ghosts” prancing down the street together.

I know its crazy but Taylor Lautner kind of ruins Jacob Black for me. I know, I know he’s ‘sooo hot!!’ but he isn’t my kind of guy. But I don’t hate “Jacob Black”. I understand why he is so clingy to Bella and why he felt he couldn’t just give up Bella to Edward without a fight. I understood him more after I finished Breaking Dawn.

I still can’t help but feel a little resentment towards him for what he did in Eclipse though. That was just going a litttle too far — far enough for me to growl (more meow) at the book and shout at typed text. But I have to congradulate him for breaking Bellas hand because if he hadn’t kissed Bella (haha) then Bella wouldn’t have broken her wrist and so Edward wouldn’t have come and threatened Jacob and then Charlie wouldn’t have been able to “try” to split up the “fight” over Bella. Oh Charlie J

I used to be Team Switzerland but meh…I’ve come to terms and have “grown up”.

I am Team Edward, because as masochistic and complicated their relationship might be at times, they are still the definition of that electrical, passionate, neverending love that we all seek and hope to grab one day. He ties her all together and makes her one happy little woman in a way that Jacob never could. She LOVED Jacob, but she could live WITHOUT him — not so with Edward. I am a firm believer that Bella might’ve died (J), had Edward not come back into her life. I am Team Edward for Bella Swan.

By Lara:

Why I am Solidly Team Edward

Why do I love thee, Edward Cullen, let me count the ways! I play for Team Edward because he is my definition of male perfection. Aside from his hot, hot, hotness (perfectly embodied in Mr. Pattinson, thank you very much) his personality is what I adore in a lad.  His style is hip and modern, but inside there’s an old soul (literally!!) He believes in romance, he’s passionate about music (love them musicians!) and he has a quiet confidence without being cocky. Sure he may go overboard in his desire to protect the thing he loves … but his tendency to overreact I see is a byproduct of his artist’s passion and (overly) analytical mind. I think the river runs very, VERY deep with our dear Mr. Cullen and though his brooding can be frustrating at times, we always forgive him when he breaks out the famous “Cullen charm” and that crooked smile that leaves us breathless (also, perfectly executed by RPatz)!

I think that being on “Team Edward”, for me, means loving and adoring all things that make up Edward, and part of that is his love for Bella. Yes – perhaps he is not the “safe” choice for Miss Swan, or the practical, easy or even smart choice. But without Bella coming into Edward’s life, he would have never found love, redemption and hope. It was necessary for Bella to come into his life and pull him out of his 80 year funk. And he could never have fallen in love with anyone other than her, I believe. As Stephanie alluded to in Midnight Sun, perhaps some angel had created Bella specifically for him. He cannot read her mind – so he actually has to pursue her, and she intrigues him because of this. She has no natural fear of “his kind” like she should, and she naturally attracts danger, which he feels he’s been sent here to protect her from. Although I love and adore EC, I do not feel as part of “Team Edward” that he should be for me. I whole-heartedly would concede him to Bella, his true love, but it doesn’t mean I still cannot adore him from afar (swoon).

Now as for Jacob, I HATED him on my first reading of the series after Eclipse (I believe I was channeling Edward). But after Breaking Dawn, I finally decided I could accept him and actually started to like him (a little) after reading Jacob’s Book in BD. Although he is also beautiful and smart, his personality traits are things that I AVOID in men. Like his tendency to be rash and not think things thorough, his immaturity and his obvious cockiness. He may be good for Bella in an everyday “rematch” sense, but I think if she fell for Jake, it would be just like falling for any other High School boy — (who bursts into furry wolfishness). It’s totally fine with me if Jake were to forever be placed in the dreaded “friend-zone”. But, if you’re looking for loyalty in a friend – he’d definitely be a good one to have! There! I’ll throw a bone (*sicker, snicker*) to Team Jacob!!

Warning: The following was written during a period when I was half asleep. Very well then, proceed with caution:

A ‘Lil ditty ‘bout team Edward…

‘Cause he’s Bella’s kindred soul mate
But also a sexy @$$ vamp I’d like to date

Sure you could get your mack on with Jacob in his 1986 Rabbit
And you could pass time and teach that ‘lil dawgy how to go fetch and sit!

Yes, sadly wolf boy doesn’t make the cut
After all, he’s just ‘lil mutt

Edward’s voice, smell and face lure me in
He’s a stand up guy and before marriage he refuses to ‘sin’

Sure, I guess anyone would be lucky to have ol’ Jakey-pooh
But Mr. Sparkleface has raised the bar and he’s sure to woo

If nothing else, his dazzle stare will win ya o’er
Come on, gotta love a man that’s more mature and older!

Oh yeah…. Did I mention he sparkles like diamonds in the sunlight?
And will compose you sweet lullabies while you slumber at night

He tries to do what’s morally right
But’ll surely leave ya beggin’ for his bite

Jacob’s a friend at best
To be on his team is purely a jest

Jacob’s sometimes a pesky pest
Always TRYING to put Edward and Bella’s love to the test

Sure, after you and Edward do the ‘deed’, you may have to spring for a new headboard and pillows
But, so worth it ‘cause he’s THAT good in the sack, not like those ordinary Shmos

Jacob’s sometimes acts like a moron but Edward’s like an oxymoron……
He’s cool, he’s artic cold
But he’ll set you ablaze with his piercing eyes of gold

Why in the ‘hale’ would you pick a dog
When you could have a Grecian effin’ God?!?!

I’m team Edward because he belongs with Bells
But Shhh….secretly I wish she’d kick the bucket
Then Mr. Cullen and I’d have ‘alone time’ by our selves!

>:) Muhahahahaah!!!

“We Belong”
based on a song by Pat Benatar

When they say you can’t go in the light, you belong to a covennnn
We belong
We belong with the vam-pi-re vegetarrrrians
Whenever there is blood on your face
From horse or from otter
We belong
You belong, you belong with Newborrrrns.
We belong!!
