Minna-san konnichiwa Kumagai Keiko desu! Dozo yoroshiku! Welcome to my World! I talk about the Twilight series, Japanese trends, How to speak Japanese, Anime, Video Games, stuff like that! There'll be a BAND OF THE WEEK, a TREND OF THE WEEK, or a little something on HOW TO SPEAK JAPANESE or FRENCH almost every week! Not to mention the occasional post of my life!
Konnichiwa minna-san! I have the new Twilight poster up! The contacts that Rob is wearing ACTUALLY DO THAT IN THE LIGHT! The contacts were not tampered with in Photoshop or anything! I WANT THOSE CONTACTS! ANYWAY! I promised to tell you a story, well here goes. After I moved to TN from my lovely state of FL, a hot Japanese boy CAME FROM JAPAN AND IS IN MY OLD 5TH PERIOD!! HE SAID HE WAS LOOKING FOR A LITTLE GOTH GIRL!!(Though I prefer to call myself a Visual Kei/Jrock girl, I would say I was goth for a Japanese boy!) Do you know how sad I was?! I CRIED!! My friend Gradie showed him some pics of me, and she said he thought I was pretty....LIAR!! So if the house in FL sells before school lets out here and in my old home town, I might be able to go down there and SEE MY FRIENDS AND THE HOT ASS JAPANESE BOY! Okay, enough about that....today SUCKED....a little. I had to take Gateway math....I think I bombed it. THE STUPID GUIDANCE LADY SENT ME TO THE WRONG CLASSROOM! I swear, this school needs to get it together....that wasn't the first time the school has messed up! But mum checked me out early and took me to lunch! That made me happy! And I got to go home and sleep! YAY! But I have to take Gateway English tomorrow and then on Thursday (LAST DAY OF THE WEEK!) I have to take Gateway Science....which is totally stupid because I haven't had Physical Science IN 2 BLOODY YEARS!!!!
Just to warn you guys, I'll probably be posting Twilight stuff for awhile! You guys know how obsessive I can get! I DO have OCD ya know, nyaa! ANYWHO, today is Twilight Tuesday, and you know what that means! MORE TWILIGHT movie news!! Man, I'm REALLY excited about this movie!! Here's a snippet of an interview....just to get the obsessiveness out of mah system....for a milisecond anyway! =^w^=
"I'm dressed in baseball gear because during a baseball game, the bad vampires show up and they threaten to kill Bella," Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) said of "The Garage Scene," another iconic moment they're filming on this particular day. "So Edward is in a panic, and he feels powerless. He's extremely scared. We get back to the garage, and the entire family comes up with this plan to lead them in a different direction by wearing Bella's clothing and rubbing it up against trees, misleading the bad vampires."
On this mountainside property that can only be described as a mansion, the garage is housing three of the trademark vehicles mentioned throughout the novel. Parked nearby is Bella's orange-red Chevy truck. Hardwicke gathers her young, beautiful troops, shouts "action!" and watches movie magic unfold on a handheld monitor.
Jasper: "I've had to fight our kind before. We're hard to kill."
Edward: "But not impossible."
Emmett: "We'll rip them apart with our hands, then burn the pieces!"
Carlisle: "I don't relish killing another creature. Even a sadistic one like James."
Rosalie: "He might get to one of us first."
Bella: "I can't let you guys do this! This is insane!"
Rosalie: "Too late."
Take after take concludes with the same sequence of events: Hardwicke steps in to give her thoughts, the young actors pair off (usually in the same groupings as their decades-long lovers in the film), and Stewart hops up on the workbench to have a moment alone. Since the scene ends with Bella in the backseat of Carlisle's Mercedes, being driven away from Edward, Stewart ends each shot with a tear so dependable you could set your watch to it.
No one bothers Stewart between takes as she comes back from whatever place she has to go to find her sorrow. On almost every occasion, it is Pattinson who will eventually walk over, give her shoulder a light rub, and bring her back for the next take. If chemistry is a concern to the "Twilight" fans, they can sleep well from here on out.
"I've revealed that I'm a vampire, essentially, and Bella knows and she still wants to be with me," Pattinson said of the common thread between the two scenes being shot on this, the 29th day out of 45 they'll be shooting. "I'm basically testing the waters of how far towards a normal human relationship Edward can have. ... I am seeing how much I can actually be physical with her, and how much I can say without scaring her off. Even though I've told her the basics, there's still a lot of stuff that I could say that could potentially ruin everything. [The meadow] is like a date scene."
For her part, Stewart prefers these days to such action-packed scenes as the baseball-field showdown that was recently filmed, which displays the other characters' superhuman speed, agility and propensity for violence. "In the big action sequences, it's a little scary because some people say, 'We're going to get done with the action sequences, and then we'll get to the acting scenes,' " revealed the "Into the Wild" actress who counts no less than Jodie Foster as one of her greatest fans. "And it's like, 'Well, that's just not how it works, man.' It's hard to keep what you're doing in the rest of the movie consistent. ... You can't lose what's going on with the characters. [Quiet scenes] are actually more difficult, because you have to strive to not let it go and not just focus on a wall that's being ripped out or something. In the more intimate scenes, you're given the time to get into it."
To help him "get into it," Pattinson tracked down Meyer during one of her set visits and got a rare peek at the closely guarded manuscript for "Midnight Sun," an upcoming novel that retells the "Twilight" story from Edward's point of view.
"I am definitely the only person apart from her and the editor who has read it," he said with pride. "Just me and Catherine [Hardwicke]. It is very top-secret. And it is like halfway, two-thirds finished. I read that right at the beginning [of filming]. I got a lot of stuff out of that."
Insisting that he's "not allowed to say anything" about the "Midnight" passages that even the 4,000-strong fan group "Twilight Moms" would likely give their firstborn child to read, Pattinson was willing to say this: "It's exactly the same events, but a couple of other things happen. You get the same gist, but it's funny how different things affect Edward in ways that you don't really expect if you have just read 'Twilight.'
"That is what I liked about [taking on] the job, because the guy doesn't really exist that much, so you can just create whatever you want," Pattinson said of a preproduction period that found him injecting his thoughts into the character. "Then, when I found out there was another book from Edward's perspective, [I read it and it turned out] we had the same perspective!"
