And was thinking about your discussion of Victoria, and not seeing her as a villain because she did what she did out of grief and anger for the Cullens killing James. And it popped in my head that Stephanie Meyer said the same thing essentially. I think it was somewhere in the behind the scenes for Eclipse where she said something to the effect of, “To Victoria, Bella is just like a hamburger, and how would you feel if your true love was killed over some hamburger?”LOL! I remember totally cracking up over that and thinking it was nice that SM had such a good sense of humor about her books.

Kurt Cobain and Robert Pattinson: We got two great jawlines here.

Talk about coincidence.

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.

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

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!!

Oh, boy.

It breaks our heart to have to give out TWO Renasty Awards in one week.  But we do what we must.

Robert Pattinson was “mobbed” by a group of fans on Monday while on location in New York City filming his next movie, Remember Me. But, while we refrain from using the word “attacked,” it definitely ain’t good how out of control these fans got around RoBear.

So to nip these Renasty Awards in the bud, we’ve provided The Ten Commandants of How to Act Around Robert Thomas-Pattinson:

1. Thou shall not jump on or bear hug Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
2. Thou shall not whine, beg or plead with Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
3. Thou shall not pull the clothes of or touch the Ray-Bans of Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
4. Honor Robert Thomas-Pattinson
5. Thou shall not chase Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
6. Thou shall not get up in the grill of Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
7. Remember who you are when around Robert Thomas-Pattinson
8. Thou shall not ask for a neck bite from Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
9. Thou shall not wear Holly Hobbie headwear around Robert Thomas-Pattinson.
10. Thou shall obey the beefy arms of the security detail of Robert Thomas-Pattinson

There is nothing like taking a sweet song and abusing it for our own desires, which is what happened to Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson” on our last podcast (Episode 18).

I’m sure Paul Simon would agree our lyrics are much better.

“Mr. Pattinson”

And here’s to you, Mr. Pattinson
Newborns love you more
than we can say
Hey, hey, hey

Come visit please, Mr. Pattinson
You can even use
our microwave
Hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey!

Chillax, Rob. You're only turning 23!

May 13 is Robert Pattinson’s birthday. So that got us thinking, “What would make great Rob birthday gifts?”  You tell us!

Listen Now!

Cullen Coiffure

Edward Cullen’s two greatest desires, his love for Bella and his thirst for her blood, are symbolized in his gelled hair-sculpture. Divided in three parts, his mega-do collides in opposing views, cresting in an apex of wholesomeness.

Free-Range Rob Locks

Here, as you can see, Robert’s precious hair has been parted in the center and styled with waves splashing up. He drives surfers crazy with that curl.

4-H Hair

The season of sheep shearing came early when Robert got his hair cut short in December 2008. Mysteriously fresh, freeing and fiber friendly.

Dirty Do

But no matter the state of Robert’s mega-do, the beanie seems to be the most likely cake topper he’ll be sporting. <sad face>
