(stars of Twilight. Which will probably suck)

Ok, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way….I feel like I can more forward. I don’t like hiding things from you. First off, I’m a sap at heart (as most jaded cynics are). Also, I love fantasy books. (we’ve discussed this here before…and if I recall correctly, you guys all recommended these high-brow pieces of great literature, and nobody told me about these cheesy awesome Twilight books back then. Clearly, you give me too much credit. lol. I used to read VC Andrews books.) And as a female, I love tortured love stories. (i.e. “Pride and Prejudice”…specifically the Keira Knightly version. And “Love Actually.”…again, that Knightly chick. weird.) Now my homie Grace has already warned me to keep my expectations low. Which means the flick probably sucks. But I’m still amped and already sold hook n anchor on crib-bait star Robert Pattinson.

Especially because of these anti-Hollywood hype reactions that NYMag rounded up:

“What is with all the screaming?” Mr. Pattinson asked when he came out…”The connection that I am an actor playing this character is sort of skipped…They are in denial. They think I am Edward Cullen…It is bizarre,” he said. “People come from three states away and walk up to you trembling. I feel that I am at a disadvantage here because I can’t provide this mystical thing that they came for in the two seconds we have.”

“My brain doesn’t really accept [the hysteria.] I just don’t want to get shot or stabbed. I don’t want someone to have a needle and I’ll get AIDS afterwards.’ That’s only my real fears.”

A pubescent curmudgeon after my own heart. But he’ll get spoiled by Hollywood and turn into a c-actress chasing skeezer just like Colin Farrell before him. Ah well.
