I'm a slacker, Heidi's a Supermodel, KStew is an 80s Lady, and Robward might by stinky but he sparkles!

I promise, I haven't abandoned my blog. I've been preoccupied with life. Stupid life! And it's been a busy time at work. And my in-laws are in town and are our first official overnight house guests. So I've been kind of overwhelmed lately. But guess what y'all? It's New Moon Monday!! And we have lots to talk about!

First off, casting news!

Meet Caius!

Gotta say, not what I was picturing. Am I the only one who thought they would choose old guys for Aro, Marcus and Caius? But you never know, he could rock it. I can honestly say that I haven't a clue who this guy is, but the Twilight Mafia has informed me that he was in Sweeney Todd. I might have preferred somebody else from that movie, but whatever. It's Summit.

In other casting news, Heidi Is a Supermodel! And no, I don't mean Heidi Klum. The actress playing Heidi is this girl, and they are already trying to start rumors about a love triangle. Guffaw. I think she is pretty and a nice alternative to the always lovely AnnaLynne McCord.
(You know I love her).

Kristen has a lot going on right now. A movie she made when she was just a youngin' (that was directed by Mary Stuart Masterson, aka Idgie Threadgoode) just came out on DVD. It's called The Cake Eaters and I can't wait to watch it (but unfortunately won't have time to watch until Wednesday--hopefully). Anyway she is supposedly amazing in it. Will report on that next week, along with my feelings on Adventureland which comes out on Friday. It's going to be a KStew-filled week. (BTW, I refuse to comment on the Kristen Stewart And Nikki Reed Kissing in Edward's Volvo video because I'm so annoyed with Nikki Reed and her famewhoring ways that I could scream).

Speaking of famewhores, I'm getting tired of everyone ragging on Rob and saying that he stinks. And Robert Pattinson has been named the 100th unsexiest man alive. Boo on those people.Just look at that face. Bert's sad. J/K. But you should definitely take a look at this Q&A with moviefone where he clears the air on this and other rumors.

And take a look at this interview with Glamour Spain(translated).

Who else is excited for the How to Be Soundtrack?

I know I am! And finally, I leave you with this WTF moment:

Boy Inspired By Twilight Bites Classmates!!!!

Remember, leave the biting to professionals like RPattz.

Have a great day!

To Twitter or Not to Twitter...

That is the question. Twitter scares me. It's like the great unknown to me. It feels a little too much like Big Brother. Not that I'm an extremely private person (I do blog my life away)...I'm just not sure if someone needs to know where I'm at or what I'm doing all the time. It makes me nervous to update my Facebook status. (My current Facebook Status states that I feel like taking a 4 hour nap). Thoughts start racing through my mind--what if a skank I went to high school misreads my Facebook status and tells everyone that I have a sleep disorder? What if someone reads it that doesn't understand my sense of humor or how late I stayed up last night watching Golden Girls, and thinks to themselves, "she is such a Debbie Downer." What if I don't get to update my status for the next 3 months and everyone thinks that I'm still taking that much needed nap? I understand that everybody has control over how much they update their Facebook Status and twitter or tweet or whatever you want to call it; but I think in my case Twittering can only lead to one thing: TMI. I have a problem with over sharing when I'm in a weird mood. Not as much as say Simon Van Kempen from Real Housewives of New York, but I have my moments.
For those of you who might have been living under a rock, Twitter is a social-networking site and according to it's Wiki page, Twitter enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. And while I might be scared to Twitter myself, I do find myself reading other peoples Twitters (or Tweets...still haven't figured that out yet).
I'm oddly fascinated with celebrities on Twitter. It's so ridiculous to me that all of these people who are so concerned with having private lives constantly let everyone know what's going on in them. Twitter is supposedly the reason that Jennifer Aniston dumped John Mayer--she reportedly couldn't take his addiction to Twittering his every move. On the other hand, Demi Moore somehow hasn't divorced Ashton Kutcher yet for posting this picture of her on his Twitter. And I have found myself losing respect for Demi after reading her Tweets. She can't spell and she writes inane things like "ahhhhh friday indeed....I am taking a moment to appreciate the small things like guacamole and chips!" and "the gift of life is upon us..breathe and recognize the power you hold!" As my Dad would say, where's a hand grenade when you need one?

I feel lukewarm about John Mayer's Twitter page While I monitor it, in the same way I monitor his career, I find myself alternating between loving him when I see a glimpse of what he used to be (I'm an old school John Mayer fan and am amused by statements like "The next time you happen to hear Muzak, pretend that the song is being performed by kittens.") and marveling at the tool that he has become ("Be yourself today. Be wildly yourself.")

Twitter can also be a tool to help you realize the absolute awesomeness of people. Such as Christopher Walken. Who I've always thought was kind of awesome (how could you not after watching that Fatboy Slim video?), but have grown to love so much more by reading musings on his Twitter page.

"There's a kid on a Pogo stick in front of my house. It's nearly midnight so let's assume he's been drinking. This should end well for him."

"I claim to be frightened of horses but do so only to get out of attending parades. It's peculiar but has served me well. The horses get it."

"A neighbor kid shows up from time to time dressed as Superman. I think it's him anyway. Very difficult to say for sure without the glasses."

How could you not love that?

Please share your thoughts on Twitter with me. I can't decide how I feel about it.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

First Official New Moon Monday!

After this weekend, I feel like it is officially time to start looking forward to New Moon. It is only about eight months away. And it has started filming. And this weekend, the Twilight DVD came out. So in honor of this new era, I will often be using my Mondays to discuss all things New Moon and Twilight-Saga related. But first, I will discuss the Twilight DVD.
I got the DVD at Target on Saturday morning, and from my Livejournal research, it seems like that was the best one out there. I didn't want to go to a midnight release party because I'm a granny and I knew I wouldn't stay up to watch it that night. I was glad to read that Kristen, Rob and Taylor weren't forced to attend any of these midnight release parties, either, because really, haven't they been through enough? What with the Hot Topic mobbings and Summit recently sending Rob to Wal-Mart headquarters in Arkansas, I'm just glad that they didn't send them out because I fear one of them might have been killed in a mobbing. For those who don't know, there are several different editions of this thing already. The Target Twilight DVD has three DVDs, which include loads of extended and deleted scenes, music videos, talks with the casts, special vampire kiss montages, and Bert playing some piano. Apparently, I'm not the only one who is obsessed, because the movie sold 3 million copies on Saturday. That's pretty awesome.

So here are my top 5 reasons to buy the DVD:

5) The Bella's Lullaby Remix and the Vampire Kiss Montage. Both are super cheesy. The Lullaby Remix features footage from the original bedroom kissing scene which was nixed by SMeyer for being too hot. And it is. The Vampire Kiss Montage is just ridiculous and kind of hot but really scary and overall makes me glad that Chris Weitz is directing New Moon.

4) The Extended scenes. I love seeing anything extra that didn't quite make it into the movie. I have to say, that after watching these scenes, I'm not sure why they cut the extra parts out.

3) The Deleted Scenes. They are made of awesome. Makes me wonder why they were deleted. And again, makes me glad that Chris Weitz is directing New Moon.

2) Edward's piano scene. Rob improvising his version of Bella's Lullaby on the piano. It's amazing and makes me sad that they didn't use it, because that just would have meant so much more, you know? There is a lot of lip pursing and lots of hand shots, which is nice because Rob has nice hands.

1) The commentary. It is amazing. Rob is hilarious with comments like this:

"Never trust a guy who plucks his eyebrows."
"I have so many inexplicable facial expressions in this movie."
"I had pecs for about two days. Everyone would hate me. Just look at me walking around with my little peacoat on. My little customized pea coat."
"Sometimes I think I look like I’ve had facial reconstructive surgery. Like after burns."
[Jokingly] "I hate people who cry around me. I'm not friends with them anymore. Especially girls. Cuz girls are crying all the time. It's like, 'Shut up.' [Catherine Hardwicke points out that he just admitted that HE cried too] But I was crying over something legitimate. A movie."
"I'd love to be able to fit in a box. Like one of those people who fit into small boxes. I'd love it."
[Scene in the forest where Edward asks Bella, "What do we eat?"]: "Cheeseburgers."
[Scene where Edward shows off his sparkly body]: "I'm sorry, Bella. I'm just like a sweaty guy."
"I notice I have one of those butt chins. Like a nubbin."

So yes. I think you should buy the DVD.

Onto New Moon. I'm getting excited, but getting mad at myself for getting excited, because if I go in with low expectations I'm hoping I'll be happier with it than I was with Twilight. But try as I might, I can't help getting excited when I look at these pictures and watch these videos.

This is apparently the new Wolf Pack. Which makes me excited. Because the only thing funnier than the biology scene in Twilight is Solomon/Sam and his wooden delivery of the line "The Cullens don't come here." I wait for it and giggle every time I watch the movie. Plus, a lot of these guys are really good looking and the girls look like I pictured them (and there isn't a Disney star in sight). I hope they really give Emily a big gnarly scar.

Sometimes Taylor annoys me so much that I forget how cute he is. I'm glad his face is growing into his nose.

This guy is cute. I don't even know who he is playing, but to me, he looks like a Sam. Vast improvement--two thumbs up!

I am starting to become a fan of the Wolf Pack. Can someone check my temperature?

This is a picture of Chris Weitz visiting a luxury car dealership. I cannot wait for the scene with Alice stealing the Porsche. Oh how I've missed you, Bella's Big Old Red Truck. These lucky bitches were in Vancouver and got to hang with KStew and Failcob. This is when they were filming for the cliff-diving scene (OMG OMG). Kristen has confirmed that she will not actually be jumping, but it will look like it due to the magic of CGI. I have seen The Golden Compass and I have no doubts that it will look better than Twilight's CGI.
Hello from the New Moon set

I wonder if they are expanding Victoria's role in New Moon. Because if I'm remembering the book correctly, her part consisted of a glimpse of flaming red hair. I'd be happy for them too, because I love Rachelle.

E news Ashley Green discusses New Moon (3-19-09)
by officialspunkransom

I just love Ashley Greene. She's almost as awesome as Alice.

I'm not kidding. I really enjoy Ashley Greene.

And I love KStew, too. People need to quit giving her a hard time and respect the bitchface.

This calms my fears about what they were going to do about Bella's house.They just built a replica in Vancouver. But I'm extremely concerned on how they will do this with the Cullen's house (although I hope they do).

One final note:

A fan named Julie met Peter Facinelli and she shared this information:

He talked to us about the script for New Moon and said he was happy with it. He mentioned his concerns at a man directing a story told from a woman’s (Bella’s) viewpoint, but how he was then totally reassured after meeting Chris Weitz the director. My favourite bit of insiders gossip that he gave us was one of the stage directions. In the New Moon script it says ‘the sunlight catches Edward’s skin and we see him sparkle’ ,it then says in brackets underneath (BUT BETTER THAN IN TWILIGHT) I guess they really are trying to improve the special effects!

That's what I like to hear!

Have a great New Moon Monday!

Love,

Sawyer from Lost is Friday's Fun Fearless Male!

For some reason I rarely talk about it here, but Lost is one of my favorite shows on TV. Friday Night Lights and Lost are the two shows that Mr. Bunny and I always watch together and absolutely cannot miss. And we both agree, that the two most awesome male characters on TV are Coach from FNL and one Mr. James "Sawyer" Ford from Lost. Here is just a sampling of the awesomeness that is Sawyer.

So lately, things have been even crazier than they normally are on Lost. They've added time travel to the equation and now Sawyer has been transported back in time to the 70s. He has joined the Dharma initiative and lives with Juliet. He goes by the name James LaFleur (which was one of his conman names). Now, Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid have returned to the island and have entered the time warp with him and the others that were left behind. It has definitely thrown a wrench into things, and it is great to see how Sawyer handles things.

Now I'm not one of those people who hate on Jack and Kate all the time, even if they are kind of annoying. I just prefer Sawyer. And I like him and Juliet together, even though I know they will probably end the series with him and Kate as a couple. Anyway, I like seeing Sawyer as the hero/leader. He's just so much less sanctimonious than Jack.

I can't wait to see what happens as this show plays out. Most of all, I can't wait to hear Sawyer's commentary throughout the whole ordeal.

Let's celebrate Sawyer, Friday's Fun Fearless Male!

Everyone have a great weekend!

Love,

Elle Bunny

RIP-Natasha Richardson-1963-2009

So Tragic.
I've always held an affinity for Natasha Richardson. She just seemed so warm and nice. She had a wonderful speaking voice. My favorite performance by Natasha is honestly in The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan--that was an awesome movie and she was great in it. Here is a clip.

She is survived by her wonderful husband Liam and their two sons.

RIP Natasha. You will be missed.

James Franco: Biopic King?

James Franco is one of my favorite actors. He was so amazing in his portrayal of James Dean that I tend to think of him as an extension of the icon. His Independent Spirit Award-winning turn in Milk last year was also incredible and in my opinion was by far the most understatedly elegant performance in the movies during the past year. Now, James is going to star in Howl, a new movie about the life of poet Allen Ginsberg. And I must say, I like seeing him in glasses (that was my favorite part of the James Dean biopic). Now there's no doubt that James Franco has incredible comedic timing (just watch this clip from Pineapple Express if your not convinced) and he is great at creating new characters, but I must say that I think he is the King of Biopics. He's my pick for A Jeff Buckley biopic.

Also, I must say, it's hard for me to describe how much I love an actor who is getting his masters degree in writing from Columbia University and is writing a book. I salute you, James Franco, King of the Biopic!

Have a great day!
Love,

Elle Bunny

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Could be a crackhead!
