tonner, ships to the US and canada only... :)
On Kristen’s dad: a big uh-oh!
Hey it is the Oscars!! This year’s critics snubbed the big box office hit (Dark Knight, which got just 2 or 3 nominations...one major for Ledger, and something about sound mixing or editing?) and went for less popular indie-ish films...
Gotta love Rob on his decision.
Btw, he is sitting behind Mickey Rourke (actually, beside the person sitting directly behind Rourke) during the ceremony...so during the announcement of nominations for lead actor you can see him clearly... he seemed sleepy to me or it is boredom? Hmmm....
On Bronson's New Moon Casting:
for someone who has 'brown skin' for a nick name... he can't be a vampire... perhaps, the ancient werewolf.... or something.. -if his nickname proves to be true...
I have this feeling that Kristen really doesn't want to be part of Twilight... Hmmm...
She's not like as enthusiastic as her other co-stars. It's like she's only forced to do this film. Even on her interviews, sometimes it seems like she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Oh well. Just my opinion.
I am really jealous for those who saw Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner at the airport. *Sigh* :(
On why Kristen didn't go to the Oscars: That's... wow. That's just... yeah, wow. Hahaha.
Now for that Canadian actor: I really hope he's not Seth. I'm going to be disappointed. He could be any other werewolf. Well, except Embry. I like that guy, Krys, who played him in Twilight.
@beth - saw that too... too bad i didn't catch the part when he presented w/ the girl from mama mia! will just look for it at youtube
on kristen - her comment is kinda disappointing... we fans are so excited about anything twilight and she's supposed to help hype it up...then she says something like that... what the???
@mei - on the bronson kid, as soon as i saw his pic, the first character that came to my mind was seth actually. i think he fits the job... i just haven't seen him act so i dunno if he'll do a good job... but seth in new moon is a minor character... alec maybe? but he's moreno and not pale...
sowee for the long post...
i sooo love SM's photo.. napaka gothic.. she looks like morticia addams.. :)
yeah I think the bronson bloke would play seth or maybe someone from the quillete tribe. Oh! maybe he'll be paul! =]
