NEW MOON Movie Discussion

How are you taking the excitement of watching in just a few more hours bbs?
And for those who have watched already, did you survive?
Me? I think I did.
But I'm not going to tell how. LOL
Okay, I went in with the least of expectations.
I haven't seen and read all the spoilers lately and I thank myself for that. haha.
Anyway, I can't wait to discuss the movie with you guys.

And because I'm a masochist and a sadist
One of my favorite scenes...



and I found these cool E/B Profile life-size posters/standees in the theater where I watched...



Click Image for their "stats" . I laughed when it says under Bella's Group: TBD. And under Special Abilities it includes Accident Prone (ouch)

Robward is not clear (sorry crappy cellphone photographer). but I love that his quote says
"What choice have I? I cannot be without you, but i will not destroy your soul." sigh.

Here's another crappy one but since it's my favorite promo still..d heck...



Are the standees in your cinemas similar to these bbs?

ORD Lex 100th







To view the complete ORD LEXICON say it out loud "I Love Flippy"

It's been awhile I know. But this batch is worth waiting for I believe. It is special in many ways, like the past days have been, for the ORD Society and for each and every RK shipper. Without further ado, welcome the new spawns....

1. The Agile Flippy - Rob is Flippy to Kristen because he can “barely jump rope” and his hands are "like flippers". But Flippy can be agile too “if need be” right Stewie? Why that back flipping by Flippy in the Volturi's lair is worth flippin over. Bravo Flippy! err Robbie.

2. The Motivational Tool - Rob has said time and time again (cos you keep watching that youtube vid) that he’s “just a tool.. a hard tool”. Well Rob wethinks you’re too humble. We know you are more than just a hard tool, you’re a motivational tool ! Case in point: the Italy Reunion scene where Kristen had to run through that crowded plaza right smack to your arms for several takes for two straight days. She was willing to do that, get bruises and sprain an ankle. If that was shirtless Taycob there…you get the point?

3. LSFKT - Ladies of the Same Fierceness Knit Together : Kudos to Kristen for making use of her downtime during Eclipse filming by picking up some yarn and knitting needles, thus staying productive. A lot of fans were asking Why? Well, why not? Nothing is wrong with knitting, last time we checked it’s listed under hobbies not destructive addictions. Bella would so knit. And Dakota is an avid knitter too. Besides it's a great way to avoid smoke breaks *hints*.

4. BMRW - Button Me the Rob Way : Who says there is a correct way to button shirts? Does a misaligned top even lower one's hotness factor ? Not if you're the famed RSG ! Faulty equilibrium or not, misbuttoned tops has become a Robert Thomas Pattinson trademark. Do not attempt to infringe. Please.

5. A Rayban is Not Enough - That’s why you need at least 16 pairs. For the blinding glare of pap lights, for the constant traveling, for the girlfriend who borrows, for any random person who may voraciously snatch it from your eyes. So yes Rob we understand, one Rayban is not enough.

manip and layout by mayhemonte
*right click view image to read the drabble*

When I first saw this manip in a collage made by Mayhemonte , it was so tiny I had to squint kidding but it caught my interest. Cos I immediately thought Oh My that looks like baby Kristen in Panic Room (her real toddler photo was displayed atop Jodie's night table). And then at a closer look I could see that her eyes are quite similar to baby Rob's too, in that playground photo with his mom Clare.
Serendipity!

After several discussions on the "looks like them best" baby, Mayhemonte asked me if I would want to write a faux interview with this manip as inspiration.

And here ya go.
Meet Clare Jaymes Stewart Pattinson aka Baby Jamie.
Maybe at around...2012?

edited: Mayhemonte has several "outtakes" and wrote some more interviews and hysterical ones at that here. Go see, it's epic.

Lovers in Paris.
I know that's a famed Korean tv dramedy but that's what crossed my mind.
If Nonstens would say "Yep. Buddies" after this...
Are you...seriously?

To quote my sms exchange with rogueslaygal she said "I have a lot of guy friends I'm close to, a couple I consider my besties, but I never hold their hands in public or private. The only guy friend I hold hands with is gay!"
I guess nobody would wanna think of Rob as gay huh.

I knew the Arien was keeping a lid on the naturally touchy feely side.
It wasn't that difficult with the naturally stoic Bull.
But I guess Paris is indeed the City of Love.
And they are just like you and me, not The Incredibles or a couple with some superpower.
When you really feel the need to, don't you just have to?
Forget about reigning it in, forget about the suits, who cares about the swarming paps...

Any more questions after this will be really ludicrous.

I've never seen anything more beautiful...the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived.


Attention BGs and anyone who wants to join in, the second to the last read along discussion will resume on Tuesday, November 10 (EST).
See you all!

There is another person to thank , apart from Rob and Kristen of course, for the now epic Harper's Bazaar interview.

That person is Laura Brown.
The lady who is so smart she was able to make Rob and Kristen talk unabashedly about each other (relatively speaking).

I saw him, and I had no will to fight. It was so clear, so much more defined than any memory.  My subconscious had stored Edward away in a flawless detail, saving him for this final moment.

~~~~~



One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you.

Title:  Gems
Author: robynesk
POV: Kristen
Type/Rating:  Drabble/ GP
Word Count:  731
Summary:  It's a year after filming Breaking Dawn and she's still at it... Has she really changed?

The sand was smooth on her bare feet, the water was just the right amount of cold.
She preferred walking nearest the shoreline.
She liked the way the sand and the water sucked on her toes.
Always her welcoming party of sorts.

She inhaled the clean salty breeze.
And closed her eyes to savor it.
What I would give to wake up to this everyday.

It was only 6 am but she knew she didn't have enough time.
Her eyes swiftly scanned the area.
The tide was low and it was the perfect time to look for them.
She saw something glint and she stooped down.
A good kind of forest green.
From a bottle? a window pane?
She dropped it in the left pocket of her white linen pants, and tapped it twice
making sure her new find was safe.
She smiled, thinking how kind the sea is with her today.
She has always loved sea glass since she was a little girl.
She would start her quest the minute they arrive at the beach.
She loved the process of acquiring them.
Squinting her eye to catch the silent glint of a promising jewel,
and burrowing her tiny fingers to capture the shy elusive ones that sink in the sand.
She enjoyed putting them in her cap and once heavy enough,
proudly showing her "catch" to her Dad, her Mom or whoever was present.
It was always a thrill sorting them out, by color first, just to see if she has found enough,
then mixing them all up and adding them to her box of colorful glass.

She saw another one, this time an amber-colored one.
She caressed it with her fingers before letting it join the first gem in her pocket.
She thought of her sea glass collection back in her parent's place.
She contemplated on bringing it the day after the wedding,
before flying off to their honeymoon.
But she knew it was too heavy.
And now as she saw another one, an emerald green beauty,
she thought it was best  that she didn't bring it.
She is starting a new collection.
Like her new life, a fresh start.
She wasn't sure if she will love it like she does.
But a part of her believes so.

She felt a now familiar throbbing in her chest.
A reminder that it was time.
She immediately washed her hands in the clear blue water.
Then she heard him say
So how many did you find for us today?
She looked behind her and saw him grin.
Married for more than a year and still his presence never fails to stir something primitive in her senses.
She smiled and said ,
Not  much but I have the most breathtaking green so far .

She saw him cradling her close to his chest, a bundle of all white.
Then and there, she lost her sense of speech.
She still can't believe they were here with her.
Sea glass hunting since she was 5 but always only with playmates.
Never with family.
Her parents somehow busy with guests.
Her brothers thought it was for wimps.

Now they were with her.
He, always as excited as she was with her finds.
The little one all oblivious to her parent's shared simple joy.
They are here with her now.
Her own family.
New and entirely hers.
She went closer and immediately sensing her near,
the little one opened her eyes and yawned.
She bent down to smell her sweet breath as he angled his neck to touch her forehead to his.
How many times have they done this in the past two months?
Somehow it always feels new... every time.

She never thought she could love someone as much as she loves him.
Until she heard her first cry.
She was immediately handed over to her,
uncleaned and still covered in amniotic fluid.
She clutched her tiny frame to her chest,
a small replica of a love tried and tested by the world.
She cried with her as she first utilized her lungs and wailed.

She learned that love is a strange thing.
Each time you give, you gain more.
That is the truth she has found and now holds dear.
Just like the gems clinking in her pocket.
And the two precious ones she would give her very life for,
cradling her safe and content with their warmth.

A/N: This little fic was inspired by a manip that wouldn't let go of me. I tried to resist it but the muse was adamant in not letting me have my sleep unless I sit with it, listen to it, give it my full attention.
Take a look here and you will understand why.
For the artist's other epic works you can visit her journal at mayhemonte
Thank you dear old friend for obliging the muse to use your art.

And thanks to the ORD Bubble Girls who inspire and encourage me every single day. love you lots!

Sam Bradley is in Manila, Philippines for a series of mall tours.

I only had 2 1/2 hours of sleep and was practically running on caffeine so pardon the random incohesive musings (can one OD on coffee? I digress). these are observations apart from his performance, which was very good (enjoyed his No Diggity cover much!) the vids uploaded in the link above would show how good he is on stage. besides being a good performer though...

( He was all things I've read about and more... )

With the buzz about a possible confirmation of sorts with a  Harper's Bazaar photo shoot for November,
I wondered when Rob truly knew it is Kristen.
We all heard of his little thing for her before he even met her.
(Three words:  Into The Wild)
But when do you think Rob finally admitted to himself "It is her"  ?

I remembered his appearance in the recent Academy Awards.
And how his script there was very telling of his "journey" with Kristen.
A day after the Oscars he flew to Tokyo for the Twilight premiere.
It was their supposed reunion after the holidays, after months of being apart.
A lot of fans believe that Tokyo was very significant, pivotal even.

But back to the Oscar's.
It blows my mind just watching this clip again.
It seemed that Rob wrote his lines himself (which was not the case I'm sure).
Everything was just...him.  And Them.

( obsessed on the complications of love )

In the midst of all the turmoil happening in the world these past days, I cannot help but  think -
Am I being trivial by opting to somehow still spend time in my Little Bubble World of Robstendom?
Is fangirling considered frivolous and moot at times like these?

( they make the star-less nights surmountable... )
