Bitten By Robert Pattinson & Twilight

Robert Pattinson, Sex Drive Premiere, 10/15/2008


I remember seeing Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films and found myself instantly drawn to his boyish good looks. But seeing as how I'm five years older than he is and the evident fact that he looked so young, I only allowed myself mild attraction for Rob. Even so, I continued watching HP Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix many times over and never found interest in the other HP movies. LOL.

Then it all changed in October of this year, that mild attraction turned into raw obsession when I found out that Robert Pattinson was cast as Edward Cullen in Twilight the movie. Knowing that it was inevitable that I would have to see this movie, I forced myself to pick up the book and have not put them down since. Robert's face jumped out of the pages when I visualized Edward. I couldn't help but hunger for more Twilight and RPattz. I found myself searching the internet for him and was taken by surprise at how mature he currently looked. He was oozing with smoldering, manly sex appeal. It was hard to deny his uncanny wit and charm with each of his movements. Everytime he touches his luscious, unkempt sex hair, it always manages to make my fingers itch. I want so much to run my fingers through it and feel the softness. That and his chest hair. Mmm. And scruffiness of his beard, I'll suffer chin rash any day to have his tempting lips on mine. The soothing lull of his voice and english accent are just as enticing. Not only that, he's a really talented actor! I've seen all of his work and he never fails to impress me with his performances. As if this weren't enough to make me melt, I soon discovered that he was a musician. OMR, I think I love you! LOL, nevermind that I'm already married with two kids. I can still dream, can't I?

He was absolutely amazing in Twilight as the brooding, reluctant vampire Edward Cullen. Not only had I fallen in love with that fictional character from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, Robert's portrayal of Edward turn my insides to mush. It's a fact that no one else could've conquered this role like Robert did. Now that Summit Entertainment has green-lighted the production of New Moon, I get to see more of Robert/Edward.

I've been bitten by Robert since that first day I laid eyes on his immaculate face in HP and I still can't seem to get enough of him to this day. Is my obsession for him stemmed from the fact that he's viciously unattainable, mysteriously beautiful or unbelievably multi-talented? All I know is that I didn't allow myself to swoon over him until recently, because he is now a man -- a sexy man at that. How is he able to exude so much masculinity and be only 22 years old? The more reason for me to search for updates of him. Teheh. He's my addiction and I don't feel the least bit guilty in my indulgence of him.

I Love Edward Cullen!

OMGawsh! I am now officially a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Thanks to everyone’s recommendation, I am now in love with Edward Cullen! I just finished the first novel, it took two nights. I haven’t slept much because I can’t put the book own. Now I’m anxious to read the next book in the series, New Moon. But that would mean less sleep. Oh wells, what’s a few nights of sleep deprivation when Edward is all I need? Sigh!

As for the Twilight movie? I can’t wait! Only 15 more days until the movie’s premiere on Nov. 21. I must confess, I didn’t want to read the book until I heard that it’s film adaptation was soon to come. While I was reading, images of gorgeous Robert Pattinson’s face swam through my mind — leaving me to believe he’s the perfect actor for this role. I know he wasn’t Stephenie’s first choice on looks but I’m sure Rob will live up to the role very well with his talented acting. Speaking of which, he’s currently waist deep in promoting the movie this month. I just might get a chance to see him!

Edward Cullen Alert!

Robert Pattinson, star of the movie Twilight, made an appearance on MTV’s TRL yesterday afternoon. Poor guy looked a bit overwhelmed and frightened by his throng of hyperventilating, female fans. I’d have to say, I hated that hideous-looking hat on his head. Why did he have to hide the sex hair?



Future sightings of Robert Pattinson: Nov 10- San Fran, CAL (Hot Topic), Nov 11- Dallas TX (Hot Topic), Nov 12- Chicago, IL (Hot Topic), Nov 13- Philly, PA (Hot Topic), Nov 14- Boston, MA ( Hot Topic), Nov 15- Toronto (MUCH MUSIC) Be sure to watch MOD on Thursday, November 13th @ 5pm ET, Nov 17- Twilight LA premiere, Nov 19- Kiss FM with Ryan Seacrest

New Moon, the 2nd installment of Stephanie Meyers Twilight saga, broke my heart! I’m now starting the 3rd novel, Eclipse.

Team Edward!

OME! I finished up Eclipse, Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun in a matter of 6 days. Now I’m re-reading the whole series again. I especially loved Stephenie Meyer’s partial draft of Midnight Sun the most of all. This novel was based on Edward Cullen’s perspective of Twilight, as opposed to Bella Swan’s. Unfortunately, Stephenie has indefinitely halted the writing due to an illegal internet leak of the 12 chapters. I hope she completes and publishes this version in the near future because I can’t help but want more of Edward Cullen, Bella’s tortured and conflicted vampire love.

Oh wells, I’ll just have to do with Robert Pattinson’s take on Edward for now. Tehehe. Of course I’m going to love every minute of the movie! Only 5 more days to go. Who says a little dose of obsession isn’t healthy?

Edward Cullen: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Isabella Swan: What a stupid lamb.
Edward Cullen: What a sick, masochistic lion.

Twilight Hollywood Premiere

Thanks to HollywoodPremieres.com, I was granted a live broadcast of this evening’s Twilight movie premiere from the sanctuary of my own home. No need to Twi-Stalk in Los Angeles to get another satisfying dose of Robert “Edward Cullen” Pattinson and the rest of the Twilight cast. Besides, I can’t sacrifice enough free time — two days of camping out — in order to ensure a good spot. However, I am Twi-Hard enough for the midnight viewing of Twilight’s theatre release and I’ve preordered the tickets to prove it! Whoo, 3 days to go!


Cast & Crew, Twilight Premiere, 11/17/2008


I spent a whole hour watching this live but now they’ve condensed it to short snippets on interviews with the stars, check it out here.

Twilight Movie Review

Kimmie and I went to Thursday’s midnight (12:01 a.m.) showing of Twilight at Regal Cinemas in Garden Grove as her early birthday present from me.


Kimmie & Thao, Twilight Midnight Showing, 11/20/2008


IMO, the movie was well worth the wait! I’m an avid reader and fan of Stephanie Meyer’s vampiric love story between Edward and Bella so I may be a bit biased. Ok, maybe a lot biased because I also love Robert Pattinson. I felt that he most definitely delivered his portrayal of Edward Cullen as the reluctant and tortured vampire. Kristin Stewart did exceptionally well with her portrayal of the Bella Swan and looked exactly as I had pictured her. As well as the rest of the cast who were very well chosen. My fave part of the movie was the intense kissing scene between Edward and Bella, minus the over done withdrawal from Edward. :) Regardless, their passionate kiss still took my breathe away.


Edward & Bella, Twilight Kiss Still, 2008


I understand that it’s quite impossible to fit 500 pages into a 2-hour time-frame and expected a few differences with the movie but I hated that they rushed through Edward and Bella’s romance. If I hadn’t read the book, I would’nt have felt the chemistry of their relationship. And where was Alice? I felt they sold us short on Bella’s friendship with her. Also, most of the scenes throughout were too choppy and didn’t flow very well with each other. Other than those few key elements, Catherine Hardwicke stayed true to the book, as was capable of course.

Kimmie’s opinion? She liked the movie, even though she had not read the book. She claimed that the beginning was slightly boring. She had little interest in the movie until the action sequences. She didn’t understand Edward and Bella’s romance, the Cullen family and the Quileutes. Her fave scene was when Edward saved Bella from the near accident with his hand.


Edward & Bella, Twilight Car Accident Still, 2008


She liked the movie enough to actually start reading the Twilight book — her birthday present from me — and is now hooked! Nevermind the fact that she barely had enough free time before to do much else as a mommy of one, a part-time student and a full-time employee. Kimmie finished the book and has suggested watching the movie again! And I’m not one to object!

We sunk our teeth into this film adaptation and left feeling eager for the next movie! Which Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of it’s filmed franchise TWILIGHT!

Twilight Movie Review #2

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Sunday, we saw Twilight for the 2nd time and it was much better! I’m glad that I went again because I was less critical (kept comparing it to the book, thus catching too many flaws) this time around and actually allowed myself to accept the movie for what it was. That and also a larger theater screen and sitting in the middle might have helped too. This time, I actually saw the ‘dazzle’ moment and felt dazzled along with Bella. Which is the reason why I’m going again, I loved it! Tracey and Stink still hasn’t seen it so I’m going to drag them with me, they love Edward too so I’m sure they won’t object. Yippee! Err…what do I want for Christmas? Anything Twilight please (minus the forbidden fruit t-shirt, calendar and soundtrack ‘cuz I already have those). Phungus (not a Twilight reader, yet) says I’m so lame. Tehehe.
