For as long as we both shall breathe...

Hey all!

Guess what landed in the mailbox just this past Tuesday! Yes - "Breaking Dawn"! By Thursday I had read it through. I also had to do less important stuff too such as work..eat...sleep. The book was over too quickly!

Overall, I think it was very good. I love the relationship between Bella & Edward. Or rather, I love all the relationships in the books. They are so romantic in the way that they kind of mate for life, or for all etirnity that is. If Bella would die, Edward wouldn´t greef for six months and then move on. It is Bella or no one! That seems to be the case for almost every character - Carlisle & Esme, Alice & Jasper Hale etc.

The interesting thing about "Breaking Dawn" is that we as readers get a very pink picture of the whole vampire thing. Bella turns into a vampire and what happens? Nada! She doesn´t turn into a monster and no demon is taking over her body. Life is just super and they are all so very happy. Although new born vampires are impossible to control, Bella has an enormous force of self control. Bella told us herself that she thought she would lose some aspects of who she as, but she doesn´t change at all really. She is just a new member of the fang gang.

Another thing, don´t get me started with the whole Jacob thing. I am quite conflicted here. At one point I love the fact that Jacob got his mojo working for Nessie, but at the same time...that was very convenient. No more conflicts among themselves to work through except for external influences.

However,thinking about this I just remembered which age group this book is targeting. In my local book store it is on the shelf that says "youth books age 12-15". So...it is no wonder that solutions to conflicts are conveniently handled and the vampire thing toned down.

So now the Cullen saga is over(?) My friend Vic was talking about some fifth book that might come out. I would love for that rumour to be true. Soon I will buy the books in English as well and start all over. And must get my other books back from Jennie!

(Nevertheless...ever thine!)

Ps. With so many books about the Cullens, I am glad to say that Robert Pattinson has a long career as a vampire ahead of him! :)

If I Could Dream...

Hey all!

I was at my friend Vic the other day. She wanted us to have lunch together, and just like that she also mentions "oh yeah, I downloaded a cam-version of Twilight that we can watch". Knowing what cam-versions can be like (most of the time) I told her that I didn´t want to see Twilight with a disfunctional version. She convinced me that we should see it anyway since the cam-version wasn´t that bad. There you have it ladies and gentlemen! I have seen Twilight on an ok cam-version!

So what did I think? I think it was quite good overall. I don´t want to sound evil or jealous, but I am not too thrilled over Kristen Stewart as Bella. However, I like the casting in general, all the Cullens have the right actors. A character that I really came to love after seeing the movie was Bella´s dad! Loving the work done by the actor (don´t remember his name now).

So many ´movie experts´ have been criticizing the special effects and said that they were badly done, but I am totally disagreeing with that. So basically, I am right and they are wrong.
I think they could have done the film a bit longer, because some scenes felt a little bit chopped. Although, it must be a really difficult thing to do. You have a book which is filled with so much, and you kind of have to compress that, and still make it great..

I just thought about my friend Jennie. I can´t tell her that I have seen Twilight without her. But I am not sure that I will see her before the DVD comes out so it will be ok. She still have my books btw. The fourth book is coming out about 2 weeks!

Must mention another weird, funny thing. Just a couple of nights ago it was the Oscar´s. I googled it to see if Robert Pattinson had attended it. I kind of thought that I wouldn´t get any matches since maybe he wasn´t popular enough for that yet, but there he was giving interviews on the red carpet, presenting an award on stage and sitting just behind Michey Rourke! Ok, I get it - Robert Pattinson really is big in Hollywood. But, even though all of this was going on I basically looked at him and said out loud "yay, his hair isn´t that short"! Haha, I think Robert Pattinson´s hair will haunt me and him forever! :D

(Nevertheless...Oscar material or not...ever thine!)

Ps. Can´t wait for New Moon!!

Kiss & Tell

Hey all!

I have great news! At least great news for me. The last book is going to be released next month. I wanted to read it in my native tongue. As you can notice, I am not that comfy with English. ;) I am most definitely going to read them in English later on though. It will be like starting all over again. Neat!

I was talking to my friend Jennie the other day. I lent her the books (not an easy thing to do)! She thinks that the English titles really sucks. I kind of agree with her, they are not especially innovative. Furthermore, I think the translator made a smashing job. The titles in our language are super!

Now that Jennie started obsessing over these books she wants to see "Twilight" more than ever. I am right there with her! As mentioned before, Jennie and I are the last on the planet not to have seen it. Pathetic really. Or is it pathetic wanting to see it so badly? Can´t decide there really.

I did something the other day that I haven´t done for maybe 2 weeks. I googled Robert Pattinson. There were lots of news about him dating this girl Annelyse Schoenberger. The rumour has it that they have been dating since July last year. So all of those interviews where he was saying that no one wanted him; he was just basically lying? I have no problems with people lying, I guess he just wanted to protect his personal life BUT, he sounded so sincere about the whole thing. He was like a breath of fresh air. Maybe it was just another part to play?

If the rumour is true they have been dating for approx. 7-8 months. Hey, that is not dating - that is a relationship. I heard once that a relationship reaches a specific point after 8 months: either you are through with each other, nothing but a fling, or it deepens into that thing we call love. Which one will it be for you Robert Pattinson?

(Nevertheless..committed or not..ever thine!)

Ps. Nothing wrong with a bit of love. I hear that is all you need.

Final cut for Robert Pattinson?

Hey all!

I just read the most depressing thing! The dvd-release for "Twilight" is not until April 29! APRIL 29!! That is too far away...how can they torture me so? If I were to find a copy tomorrow and it was dubbed in Italian with only Japanese subtexting, I would still buy it. That is how bad/badly (I can´t decide which one..I so adore the English language sometimes...) I want to see it!

I am going to do a bit of a jump here. I found myself thinking about Robert Pattinson´s hair. Everyone is talking about it so why not me? It has been put off far too long. Me talking about Robert Pattinson´s hair is like the dvd-release.

I think... (drum rolls)...that Robert Pattinson should not have cut his hair! The main reason for this is that with short hair you can hardly see his wonderful hair colour. There is some colour in there which I love. Another reason: I think he looked better basically with a bit longer hair. It made him edgier, hotter, and more manly. This short hair gives him a bit of a boyish look to be honest.

Oh my God, I have adressed the issue of Robert Pattinson´s hair. My life is now fullfilled (sorry - bad sarcastic joke there).

I can understand him cutting it though. Maybe he started to feel that people were talking more and more about his hair and less about him as an actor? Perhaps it is a bit hazardous to have a trademark. People should foremost say how good you are on what you do and not focus on the external.

I remember a few years ago when Jennifer Aniston got really popular. But...people were not going on about how good of an actress she was on "friends", but how cool it would be to get "the Jennifer Aniston -hair". There were so many magazines with articles which all displayed: "how to get the Jennifer Aniston-hair" etc.

So, have a trademark at your own risk? Did Robert Pattinson do the right thing? Is it better to get publicity for something rather than nothing, even if that something is just a question of hair?

I hope Robert Pattinson´s hair will be back to haunt us all very soon! :)

(Nevertheless..hairy or not - ever thine!)

Ps. I can´t believe I wrote about Robert Pattinson´s hair. I have hit a new low on this blog.

pps. April 29 really is too far away...

Hollywood & Beauty

Hey all!

Earlier today I was sitting by my computer looking at a photo of Robert Pattinson. There is no denying it; the guy is just so bloody handsome. Yes, Robert Pattinson does have lovely features (ok I am not going on about this all day even if I could).

However, my point is that he really is handsome. That is why he got the part of Edward Cullen, and not say Steve Buscemi. Beauty opens doors.

I am not saying that Robert Pattinson only got the part due to his appearance, but hey, let´s be honest here; Steve Buscemi would not ever have got that part (if one pretends that Steve Buscemi is like 20).

Beauty is important in Hollywood, but they are riding that wave because they know that it is important for us too. Have you ever seen a romantic movie with someone half-ok looking like Philip Seymour Hoffman (sorry Steve and Phil, I am just insulting everyone today).

However, the part (of Edward Cullen) required a really pretty actor. The book does say that Edward Cullen has perfect features. Robert Pattinson beat 5000 guys to get the part. Did he beat them mostly by his looks or his talent as an actor? In all of my naiveness - I am hoping for the latter one. Since I have only seen him in "Harry Potter" it would be too early for me to evaluate his work.

(Nevertheless...I believe in Robert Pattinson, I do believe him to be talanted - ever thine!)

//Lil

Ps. There seem to be a seperation between character-actors and actors in the general sense. I have only heard half-ok looking guys being named character-actors. They are not riding on their looks so they are given an extra title; character-actors (people who can actually act?)
True fact?

The Robert Pattinson theory

Hey all!

I was talking to my friend Vic before. She is in love with the books AND has actually seen the movie "Twilight". I told her about my ´small´ obsession with Robert Pattinson. She told me then and there, straight up: "Well, I like Edward Cullen a lot more". True honesty. I love it.

Vic had just seen Robert Pattinson on a youtube-clip from when he appeared on ´the Ellen show´. She said that Robert Pattinson seemed like this confused funny guy, who did not understand how everything around him got so big..or something. Robert Pattinson really does not seem to be anything like Edward Cullen.

I have a theory that when an actor goes into character, so does his audience (how do I explain this one?). One almost thinks/believes/(hopes) that Robert Pattinson is Edward Cullen.

I have read somewhere that the character can almost overwhelm the actor. I think it was Julia Roberts who said that she always falls in love with her co-star, in say a romantic movie, because she is so overtaken by the feelings she has to portray in that movie. (Anyone feeling a bit lost? - for more confusion see my published works).

Maybe that theory could be applied to Robert Pattinson? He wanted to ´marry´/date his co-star Kristen Stewart. Did he really like her, or was he overtaken by Edward´s feelings for Bella?

Who knows really? (Nevertheless...ever thine!)

//Lil

Ps. Brilliant theory today. Should have applied so much energy into thinking about nonsense a long time ago.

Does it mean that Robert Pattinson is mental too?

Good day to all my readers! (I don´t have any readers - my blog is too pathetic for that).

I woke up today with that kind of feeling you get sometimes which says "what have I done?". I am kind of a level-headed, realistic apassionata who kind of thinks that most celebrities are shallow, perverts and a bit egocentric.

Celebrities really are that kind of group which we read tonnes about, but at the same time, have no idea who they really are. Right? Robert Pattinson could very well be one of the following scary things:

- Nazi
- Workoholic
-Racist
- Pervert
- Tory

Or he could just be a mix of the above (getting scary pictures of this in my head!)

Thinking about this I remember one episode from Sex & the City, when Charlotte says something like this to Carrie: "Do we ever really know the people we are involved with?" Well said Charlotte - spot on! Not enough people have the courage to show their true selves.

Here is something that might be true. I read in an interview yesterday that Robert Pattinson likes ´mentally strong women´ or something similar. Since I am just mental it wouldn´t have worked out. Or did he say ´mental & strong´? Better with option 2 for me! :) (Nevertheless...mental or not...ever thine!)

//Lil - the Apassionata

ps. I wish I could be more serious and write about something that actually matters than come off like an air-headed Bridget Jones.
