Hot-Button Topic for Debate

This is a hot-button topic that people everywhere, everyday ask themselves and heatedly debate:


Is Robert Pattinson more like a vampire or a werewolf?  


Mini Rant: And I'm talking Robert Pattinson the actor or real person, not Edward Cullen the vampire... I know I shouldn't have to make the distinction but some fangirls think Rob is Edward. Which is faaaar from the truth. Rob in real life ≠ Edward, ever.

Well, a French website (Ecranlarge.com) decided to end the agonizing debate and ask the man himself a few questions to determine whether he is more like a vampire or a werewolf. The results may surprise you... or not if you're a true Robsessed fan. "How often do you shave?" I mean, come on! Can we say "obvs"?? We Robsessed know Rob's daily hygiene habits... Scruffy Rob = YUM-MAY. I'm just saying. (I'm done mini-ranting.)


The frozen screen image is priceless. Rob's facial expressions FTW.


Here are the translated questions/captions:

"How many times a week do you shave?
How many times a day do you watch yourself in the mirror?
In the sun, do you get tanned or burned?
Do you like singing under the moon?
With meat, wine or water?

Conclusion: he is more like a werewolf!"

With that "startling" result, I give you... Beardy Rob! (aka Beardward Cullen)


He looks pretty wolfy to me... I'd "sing under the moon" with you anytime Rob! AAOOOOOOoooooo! (that's a howl) :)


If I worked for the agency who does the MasterCard commercials...

...my proposed new commercial would go something like this:



I wonder how that pitch meeting would go? Would I be successful? Would the big wigs at MasterCard see the potential of signing Rob to appear in their new commercials, therefore tapping into the Robert Pattinson Fame Juggernaut? I mean, look at how wildly successful 'New Moon' is these days. I think it's safe to say and you can bet your ass that 98% of that success can be attributed back to Robert Pattinson, the man. In a word: he is unstoppable! Just think if he was the spokesman/face of MasterCard (much like my proposal for Rob to become the spokesman/model/face for Ray-Bans in this discussion back in June on the Rob group facebook fan page that I admin. I mean, DUH that one is TOTALLY obvious!!)


The ad on the left was designed by me (SadieV) as an imitation of the Ray-Bans Colorize ad on the right. (No copyright infringement to Ray-Bans is intended.)

(RO post found on on sister (or would it be brother?) blog RobOverload.com. Posted by... oh wait, that's me!! ;) And if you're not yet a follower of RO... then GASP!! Get on it, stat!!

xoxo & g'night my lovelies,
Sadie

PS--And now for something *completely different.* This will help me with my insomnia:


Artsy-weird photo of Rob. Is it wrong that I'm kinda turned on by this?

This is a little late but... I've got to share the 'Remember Me' HD trailer

I'm posting this because I keep watching it every day since the day it premiered. Over and over and over and over again. (and over........)





I've read in many places that 'Remember Me' will be the movie where Rob will prove that he's more than just "that pretty boy Twilight guy." And, from the looks of his performance from this trailer, and the caliber of actors that appear with him in the movie, I've got to agree with that that... this movie will show all those doubters and haters what we Robsessed already know: that Robert Pattinson is a good actor. [Of course, I am a bit biased on this subject.] :)


The line for Reformed Rob Haters (aka New Robsessed--Ha!) starts at movie theaters in 90 days and counting!! (March 12, 2010)


For us Robsessed, March 12 will bring us the movie that spoiled us with daily Rob photos from the 'Remember Me' set in NYC. I know for me those photos really amped up my Robsession/addiction to new heights. When the daily photos stopped after the movie wrapped, I had to go to...wait for it... ROB-HAB!! (ha! get it??...yeah I know, bad joke.) ;)


We were spoiled with photos like these: 


  
*swoon*....*sigh*...OMG his Ray-Bans!!...



He wore his suit AND his Ray-Bans?? I swear, he's going to kill me one day with his FACE.

A New Year (almost)... That means it's time for a New Calendar!...

...AKA 16-months of Uber-Hotness, courtesy of Robert Pattinson.

So a few weeks back my roommate and I were at Target which, if you knew us personally, you'd know that we believe that Target is our personal Mecca. We venture to Target proooobably once or twice a week at least, and it's like our thing--as in, we usually always go to Target together.  Solo Target excursions are not preferred for my roomie and I, but sometimes extenuating circumstances provide that we must venture out alone into the wilds and trek across many miles to our local Target to buy that must-needed item immediately (for example, my solo excursion to Target during my lunch break today to buy the Blu-Ray combo pack of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'). Otherwise we always go to Target together and we always end up spending hours and hours wandering up and down the wonderous Target aisles.

Anyway, back to our outing to Target a few weeks back from the opening of this blog post. One of our favorite sections at Target is the DVD/CD/Books section. Boy, does that section rawk, and for many reasons. Discounted DVDs and CDs, newly released books... I can't tell you how many times I've flipped through first the 'Twilight: Director's Notebook' and now the 'New Moon Movie Companion' in the book section.

 
You can usually find me looking completely enthralled 
while flipping through one of these books at Target.


The Target Outing Day in question I was making my way to the 'New Moon Movie Companion' book (I believe it was newly released and I had only seen scans of the pages online... which meant I had to see the photo pages myself, with my own eyes). Suddenly, while passing the calendar section, something caught my eye. My Beloved's face. Specifically, THIS:


HUH-ELLO HANDSOME.

I'll admit it: at that moment the usually impenetrable wall around my Twi-ness and Robsession broke down. An excited, urgent noise escaped my throat and out my lips: GASP!!!! (as my roomie and I call it 'The Gay Gasp' and we mean it in the least offensive way possible.) Loud, exaggerated and it perfectly illustrated how I felt about finding this Calendar of Perfection.

Now, I must tell you that usually I don't fall for this "Rob-related" merchandise that basically uses his beautiful, perfect face to make a quick buck (i.e. the trashy 'Robsessed' DVD, completely full of tabloid-happy pictures of Rob). But this was different. I mean, I use and look at my current calendar everyday.... plus I kind of felt like I should pay $10.99 to the company that provided Rob's fans of this spectacular calendar as a thank you. That's the justification I told myself that day, anyway.

Needless to say it went in the cart immediately. I concocted a story about "buying this calendar for my little sister for her birthday" in case I ran into anyone I knew or was questioned about the calendar. (I'm an only child, btw.) I was never questioned, I paid for my Calendar of Perfection and it was stored in my desk for the last few weeks.

Until tonight. I currently have my 'Dark Knight 2009 Calendar' on my wall beside my computer. And I realize we're still not even half-way through December yet. My 'DK 09 Cal' for December brought me a menacing photo of The Joker (whom I love because I love Heath Ledger's Joker--I have 3 Joker posters lining one wall in my bedroom). I should really be worrying about finishing my Christmas shopping than agonizing whether I should keep one calendar up until January or prematurely putting up another calendar because I'm just so completely excited for my new calendar.


With pictures like these for every month, can you blame me for being excited??

So my question is this. Do I leave Joker up until January 1st? Or do I put up The Calendar of Perfection now on the first page (which previews the last 4 months of 2009)?

Joker or Robert? I can't choose since I love both enormously for different reasons.

Calendar Confused,
Sadie

PS--Did you see the Robert picture for my birthday month (January)?  I get a photo of Rob in Cannes AND he's wearing his Ray-Bans ALL MONTH LONG?? JUST LOOK AT HIS EYELASHES, DAMMIT!!!


Happy Birthday Sadie.

*puts back of palm to forehead* GASP!! His jaw!! His hair!! His neck!! *swoons then faints*

I won something Twi-related!!

I'm a pretty faithful follower to ROBsessedPattinson.com. I visit the blog everyday for any new Rob news, photos, whatever. And a good thing about Gozde (the fantabulous Robsessed leader of the blog) is that she doesn't post ANY pap shots. Gotta love that.
  

Anyway, a few weeks ago (before the premiere of New Moon), Gozde announced a last chance to enter their Fandango New Moon Gift Card Giveaway. Since I was completely retarded and somehow had missed anything to do with this giveaway (not sure how, like I said I follow ROBsessed RELIGIOUSLY) I entered right away. I didn't think I had a chance at winning, seeing that I totally tarded out and entered at the last minute. But fate smiled down upon me. 'Last chance??' Fate said while laughing. Apparently Fate thought it was my lucky day. 


On Nov 25th, I got an email from Gozde congratulating me. She let me know that I won a $25 New Moon gift card and all I needed to do was tell her which design I fancied. She pointed me to this blog entry on ROBsessed, where I could find the designs I could choose one from. (Also, if you clicked on that link, you'll see my real name posted there... betcha can't guess which one is my real name...and if you already DO know me (AuroraV) then please keep my real identity a secret!) ;)

I was totally beside myself that I won... but then this led to me obsessing over which design I wanted. Robward or the Cullen Clan. Because I love EVERYTHING to do with New Moon (photos, designs)... specifically, I love anything that features a picture of Robward Cullenson. 


This was hard. I was in a pickle!! - Anchorman reference

I debated back and forth. I consulted my closest Twi-friend AuroraV (she's my best friend, too, even without Twilight ;) She gave me wise words of advice: "You can't go wrong with Robward." True, I told her. Robward is always my #1 choice. Then I remembered how Robward's look in New Moon was kind of grandfatherly. I mean, I get they were trying to make Robward look more adult, more "109-year-old trapped in a 17 year old's body" kind of thing. Robward had gotten the girl and now he could dress the way he wanted... or something.... Either that or Catherine Hardwicke really tried to accentuate Robward's 17-year-old-ness while Chris Weitz wanted to accentuate his 109-year-old-ness... am I close? Whatever the case, Robward was looking very "Grandpa Robward" on his solo Fandango gift card.


Then I spotted it. On the Cullen Clan card. Robward's hand was protectively holding Bella to him, his eyes smoldering. (I'll let you all in on a little secret: Rob's hands completely do me in. There's this blog label we have at Rob Overload called "Hand Porn." Let's just say that I'm a big fan of the "Hand Porn" label when describing the photo of Rob on RO.com.) 

So it was Robward's protective hand on Bella's back that made the decision for me.


Long story... well shit, I didn't really make my story short, did I? .......I got my gift card on Saturday. And I squeed with excitement by myself in my room, privately (my roommates don't need to see my crazy).


 Here's me with my Fandango gift card that I won from ROBsessed. 
I'm pointing at Robward's glorious hand which won me over.

Oh yes, rest assured: I already have BIG PLANS for my free $25 Fandango New Moon gift card. BIG PLANS.

(And by 'big plans' I mean that I'm going use it to buy a movie ticket to New Moon. Shocking, I know. And since Fandango is an online movie ticket establishment, my closet Twi-fandom will remain secret and safe.)

xoxo,
Sadie.


PS--I'll leave you with this newly released photo which COULD BE photographic evidence that Robert Pattinson is completely angelic. (SPOILER: He is.) 



(Thanks to ROBsessed for sharing this photo today... 
is there anything Gozde and the ROBsessed blog CAN'T do??) ;)

Let's join together and fight back - Leave Robert Pattinson Alone, Paps!!

So one of the many Twi-related sites I have recently started visiting is the Twitarded blog which is run by 2 lovely ladies who have a cool backstory: they're 2 over-30's chicks who are obsessed with Twilight and Rob (they call him 'The Precious' which I think is completely hilarious). One of the reasons I keep coming back and became a follower to Twitarded is that in a sidebar on their blog they have this welcoming message:


"OBSESSED WITH TWILIGHT? THINK YOU'RE TOO OLD FOR THIS? YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!"



Seeing that I am about to turn 27 next month (is that even possible??) and most people who I DO let in on my Twi-fandom secret look at me funny and say "aren't you a little old for that?" ...well, let's just say I feel pretty welcome to Twitarded and I think I've found "my peeps" in Jenny Jerkface and Snarkier Than You. Love you gals!! :)

ANYWAY (I told you I'd ramble a lot here, hopefully I'll remedy that after a few more blog posts under my preverbal belt)....my point is that this afternoon on Twitarded, Snarkier Than You posted a blog entitled Twidom To The Paparazzi: Leave Robert Pattinson Alone! I've always been an avid hater of 'paps,' especially to My Beloved (Rob) and I avoid all pap shots of ANY celebrity, let alone pap shots of Rob. So conversely I had no clue why there was a renewed hatred, nor did I know of this new campaign against the paps. (Side note: I previously became a member of the "Respect Me!" campaign against paps and stalking fans for Rob back when he was filming 'Remember Me' in NYC and I'm also a member of Project F.L.A.N.S. (Fangirl Leaders Against Needless Stalking.))


So I found out about these latest "photographs." I'm using quotes around "photographs" because these disgusting paps don't have any right taking these fucking "photos" or calling themselves fucking "photographers." They are not. They are "paps"--and, yes, I am comparing these parasites to the annual medical procedure that all us women must endure... we lay down, feet in stirrups and basically get probed and prodded up our snatches. That's how paps make me--and I'll venture to say all of us fangirls-- feel. 


No, I did not look at these "photos" nor do I ever want to. I would only be perpetuating the disgusting machine that drives paps to these ridiculous levels. I did read of a description of the "photos" over at the blog Sanity Not Included (a favorite blog of mine, check Vanessa's blog out on my side bar to the right).


"The paps cornered him up against a fucking WALL, he had his hat purposely shielding his eyes/face, his friends (Brit Pack members Marcus Foster and Bobby Long) trying to clear a path to just walk to the goddamn taxi, and still the assholes would not relent."


Completely disgusting.


So Snarkier Than You's post on Twitarded directed me to Thinking of Rob where I could find the campaign headquarters, as it were. Thinking of Rob is letting anyone and everyone submit their own photos of their best "FUCK YOU PAPS" pose to show the world (and Rob) that his fans are completely against the paps invading his personal privacy.


Here are my 2 entries, which I entered with my twitter account name @SadieVincent1:



(The kitty shot is an old photo I snapped a couple years back of my kitty Cali who just happened to put her paws up over her face when I was taking her photo. I think it fits this campaign PERFECTLY.)


I'd rather see HappyRob in professional photoshoots and movie promotional shots than UnhappyandDisrespectedRob in disgusting pap shots. I can live a happy, fulfilling life if I never have to see any pap shots of Rob. I can totally live with HappyRob in photos that he approves of and WANTS to share with his fans. If he can live with that, I can live with that. And so can you.


So take a minute. Snap a shot of yourself blocking your face just like Rob had to do Friday night. Email your photo to ThinkingOfRob@hotmail.com with your twitter account. Let's join together and show the paps, Hollywood and Rob that he has fans out there who will not put up with this shit and that we don't support this ridiculous and disgusting pap behavior, EVER. 


xoxo, 
Sadie
