Re: Rob's Halfway House -- #7

Good.. oops... guess it's already afternoon. Looks like I got a little busier this morning than I thought. Any who, I absolutely HAVE to start my post of with lots and lots of hootin' and hollerin' to support my Dawgs, who play Wisconsin tonight in the Sweet 16. So, with that... *cough* *clears throat*
The Butler WAR SONG!!!! *sidenote* I can actually be heard playing in that rendition. I'm on the cymbals!
We now return to our regularly scheduled posting...
Jaclyn~ Happy Birthday!!! Here's hoping it's RobTastic!
Tracy~ Oh, you just zip it with your older talk! Age is a number, it’s attitude that matters. And, with no small thanks to Rob, we all enjoy the attitude of an 18-year-old most days. Besides, just remember that my monkeys are older than yours! It is true that Rob could make awkward prom pictures look like a Hollywood set. And, I’m the first to admit that it usually takes me several..erm…hours of staring before I even notice these things. But, to me, background and how you frame a subject are just as important as the subject themselves. For me, it’s more of a respect issue for the subject of the photos, something I tend to be hyper-aware of with Rob anyways. In the past, it just felt like they weren’t giving Rob the respect of having a decent shoot. The last EW cover/shoot involving Rob that I really liked was the 2008 Twilight shoot. Since then, it’s like they don’t want to bother with him, so they pull him into an empty room, let him wear his own clothes, snap a few pics and that’s the end of it. But, this shoot… WOWZA!! Both of them dressed to the 9s in 1930’s glamour, bringing in Tai… the whole lot just says, “this is an important moment.”
Yes, the “disgusting moment” was the dog forcing contact on Bella and her punching him in the face. And I totally agree that the Harry/Hermione horcrux kiss just doesn’t belong. I don’t know that Bonnie and Dan don’t have chemistry. I just think we haven’t been able to see it. The books, IMO, especially Halfblood Prince, focus more on the development of the relationship between Harry and Ginny. The movies really kind of gloss over that, save maybe the scene in the RoR when they hide the book. There’s not even a mention of the fact that they are, in fact, dating at the end of HBP, nor do we see any of the tension between them at the wedding in BD1.
Yes, Rob looking so sweet with Queenie… just… *sigh* It’s the vulnerability it shows. With animals, you love them completely. You make yourself vulnerable to something weaker than you are. Showing that… it’s just… love. At first, I was kind of surprised that all the promo stuff started so early. But, now, I’m rather glad. More time to enjoy it!
Marielle~ You tease!!! We knew you all were up to something! That’s so awesome that you get to hang with Susie and SonnyBoy! Have so so much fun. It seems like such a long time to wait. But, what’s going to kill me more is the wait between BD 1 and BD 2. I can wait the 5 months between trailer and film because we know we’ll be getting other stuff. But, that YEAR!! Lord, I will not survive that. Oh, by the way, I’m going to thank you for Jaclyn’s bday giftie. That was just luscious.
Susie~ You SNEAK!!! Well played, sister. Well played. Well, we can't wait to hear all about your adventures with Marielle and SonnyBoy. Be safe and post soon.
Raine~ Good lord!! I’d be a mess. I don’t mind drills and I suppose it’s smart to try to recreate actual conditions so that you’re prepared. But still.. Well, at least you got in some window shopping. I do hope you were able to get your work done. WOW!! I thought taking a trip to San Francisco for work was nice!! That looks like paradise! YAY!! Another one sucked into the fantasticness that is WfE!! I do love me some Walter, too. I think what makes the novel so great is the way Sarah Gruen writes her characters. She doesn’t pull any punches. So she shows you, almost at the same time both the good and bad sides of people, she makes them sympathetic. And, how can you not have just a little love for a man who adores his dog the way he does Queenie! By the way, I happen to have an extra copy of VF if you would like a sister to help you out. I’m more than happy to send it along, along with a copy of EW that I can pick up for you if you like. Just let me know…
Alright ladies. Lunch is calling.
Laters, sisters!
