Paparazzi Address

The Paparazzi Address

I was assigned a writing assignment in my English class. We were told to rewrite Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, using his literary devices, but a different topic. I picked Twilight and the paparazzi issues surrounding the franchise. I thought it would be a good blog post. Here ya go.

Five years ago our country’s stereotypical stay-at-home mom conjured up the dream that subjected a balance between love and fantasy, proving that all love is created equal.

Now we are submerged in a world suffocated by the worldwide phenomenon. Here we gather in the dawn of the third installment. We tune in to every Entertainment Tonight and TMZ episode, hoping to catch a confirmation of the rumored couples so that we can make ‘Robsten’ and ‘Jackshley’ household names, just like the revolutionary ‘Brangelina’.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot assume, we cannot presume, we cannot fantasize – for they have a right to their own privacy. The dirty paparazzi have already quenched our thirst with photo-shopped pictures of the rumored couples. The world will continue to promote such distasteful conduct with the guilty pleasure of purchasing trashy tabloids. It is for us, the fans, to be dedicated to allow these people the chance to have a life unseen by the lens of a Kodak. It is our harmonized duty to stray away from feeding the flames of those paparazzi that – although uncontrollably fanciful – encourage the exploitation of promising young actors. We owe it to the actors, who have brought our favorite characters to life on the big screen – that their work has given us a new obsession – and that the newest Twilight installments will bring new records at the box office whether those rumored relationships are confirmed or denied.

Paper Pattinson

Presenting: Paper Pattinson.

(...this is amazing)

Seriously, even if you don't obsess Robert Pattinson, it is fun to make. I personally do not obsess over Pattinson like I do with Jackson and the 100 Monkeys, but I thought this was hilarious when it was posted online and couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Pros: it's hilarious. Think about it: you are making a Rob Pattinson paper doll. I hope they come up with a 2.0 addition with clothes...

Think about this: Do you think Kellan made one of these? I think he would love to get these in the mail (always teasing Rob).

Cons: Unless you print this out on VERY large paper, it is a b!@# to print out at the right size. Mine it smaller, but it can enlarge 2x. (this sounds dirty, but look, Rob fans, you probably don't care).

Scissor work must be careful. I'm not saying that you can't handle scissors but one wrong move or too long of a cut and

you are so done. (I recommend using nail scissors with a pointy or more accurate blade. This way you can make the

slot wholes for the pieces to connect without it coming loose.

It took me and my friends to cut him out and put him together. I used tape to keep him together because it's not so easy.

PS. There aren't wholes for the sunglasses so you will need tape if you want those on.

So after I completed this one of a kind doll, I showed my mom and she gasped.

my mom: "Oh my god, doesn't he look like the Central Park serial killer?"

my dad: "Oh yeah, Robert Chambers... weird..."

Personally... I don't see it.

PS. WHO ELSE DOMINATES AT THE TWILIGHT SCENE-IT GAME LIKE ME?

No one wants to play with me anymore... :(

[I'm the truck on the win space! ... and my friend still at the start space.]

Oh, Hollywood!

It's a small world...

Despite the interviewers never getting to the point in recent interviews with Kristen Stewart, her co-star (Eddie Redmayne) in The Yellow Handkerchief has finally spoken in one of the interviews!

Kristen learned her first details about her then-upcoming co-star Robert Pattinson from Eddie, who turned out to be a R-Patz pal.

“Randomly, at the end of this, you were about to do ‘Twilight,’” Eddie said, turning to his “Handkerchief” co-star Kristen during Access’ interview. “I had known Rob since I was [younger]. So I was like, ‘Yeah! You’re working with my mate Rob!’ You’re like, ‘Really? What’s he like?’ I was like, ‘He’s a good boy.’”

I know all the fangirls are all: "But wait, how does he know Rob?!!!?!?!??!?!?!"

Simple explanation, darlings. Eddie starred in a low-budget horror flick, Like Minds (UK Title) or Murderous Intent (US Title), with a certain boy by the name of Tom Sturridge. Well, the two are old buddies!

see?

Now although I don't like Kristen Stewart (or Rob Pattinson for that matter), I do love Tom Sturridge and Eddie Redmayne was amazing in Murderous Intent. I do want to see this movie for him. He is a great actor. Not to mention the irresistible British accent. Am I wrong? Who doesn't like a guy with an accent? :)

Character Analysis: Sokka

Avatar: The Last Airbender

As you all know, Jackson Rathbone was cast as Sokka in M. Night's The Last Airbender which is based off of the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (they dropped the avatar part so not to be confused with the other movie Avatar, which is completely unrelated.

You've seen Jackson play the leading man in ABC Family's Beautiful People. He's played the pothead in Senior Skip Day and even the innocent one in two horror movies: Pray for Morning and Hurt. He's played the Civil War veteran and immortal Jasper Hale in The Twilight Saga movies, the naive victim in Dread, and if you have seen the previews and synopsis for Girlfriend, he plays the bad-boy. So who is Sokka?

Sokka is a gawky big brother of Katara, the remaining water-bender of the southern water tribe. In the series characters are able to use the elements (earth, wind, fire, and water) to their own advantage. The world is split between four nations to specify the different elements: Fire Nation, Northern Water Tribe, Southern Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom. Aang, the last airbender, is also the Avatar and the purpose of this movie is his journey to master all four elements in order to stop the growing Fire Nation. Think of the Fire Nation like Germany in pre World War II times. The Fire Nation wants to take over the other nations for power, to take over the world, etc.

Katara and Sokka stumble upon the avatar in an iceberg. The Avatar is the last hope of the world, he is the only one who will be able to defeat the fire nation successfully. The avatar had disappeared for a century before Sokka and Katara found him frozen in the ice berg (as seen in the trailer. haven't seen the trailer? go back to my blog and scroll down. I've posted it).

Unlike his sister Katara, Sokka is unable to bend anything. Instead, he carries around a boomerang. Sounds lame? It's not. This guy throws a mean boomerang, constantly getting the gang out of trouble with the flick of his wrist. He is the protective big brother and only male remaining in the Southern Water Tribe. His father is off in the war against the Fire Nation; he was too young to follow in his father's footsteps. He teaches the younger boys how to fight against the Fire Nation is they ever invade their tribe. Although not exactly skilled, his character is naively protective and stubborn.

He is also a sarcastic jokester. If you love sarcasm, you'll love this character. He is a pessimist, yes, but he always has you laughing.

In this movie, if it sticks to the television series which is not likely, Sokka is a ladies' man. As seen in the trailer, Sokka is involved with Princess Yue, a moon spirit who *spoiler alert* sacrifices herself for the water tribe. *end of spoiler* He is also taught how to be a true warrior by Suki, a Kyoshi warrior. *spoiler alert* If the movies continue, Sokka will reunite with Suki and they form a relationship. *end of spoiler*

Despite the other characters interested in "The Sokka", he is not a suave guy. Picture a nerdy guy whose voice always cracks when he gets nervous, he trips over his words (and himself), and is the least bit romantic. That is Sokka. This could also be Jackson in a way. I don't picture him being suave, just dreamy. :)

Anyway, Sokka is a determined character who is skeptical of Aang in the beginning, focusing on his promise to his father: to protect Katara. He is the epitome of protective big brother (for you Twilight fans, think of Emmett).

Any more questions? Ask.

*spoiler*

"My first girlfriend turned into the moon." -Sokka

"That's rough, buddy." -Zuko

Happy Valentine's Day, Jasper fans!

We're finally able to quench our thirst for Jasper merchandise!

So who is rockin' the shades?

Monkey Flashback!

BLAST FROM THE MONKEY PAST!

Just surfing around IMDB and... We all know that Jackson was in a show called Beautiful People where he played the dreamy jock and down-to-earth writer, Nicky Fiske. What about Ben Graupner and Jerad Anderson, Jackson's band-mates in 100 Monkeys? Did they have their own share of embarrassing pasts in the acting world?

Let's start with a crowd favorite: Ben Graupner. The guy's smile is contagious, as is the Monkey code! Still, what was his past like? Well, ladies and gents, if you check his imdb page, Graupner was a model [as shown below]! Yeah, even Kellan Lutz, Emmett in Twilight, started as a model. No, close your jaws, ladies. Graupner is not an Abercrombie model. There is no half-naked pictures swirling around. But look at that pout! The guy's a natural.

Now let's go to the married Jerad Anderson. He's a shy one and never sings, or hasn't in the videos that I have seen. His wife had to be coaxed into letting him join the band and after a bitter fight and fan-petition, his band-mate, J-Action, shaved his hair into a nicely done mohawk. So what's the deal with this guy? He produced and starred in a movie alongside Mr. Rathbone known as Girlfriend. Is that all? Nope.

He starred in the movie BRATZ.

(below is not a picture from BRATZ. it's just an adorable picture of the guy. :)

what?! Yes, ladies and gents! Mr. Anderson starred in BRATZ the movie as a high school jock. No pictures that I've seen and I don't remember him from the time I was forced to watch the movie when babysitting, but the poor guy was in a movie based off of dolls sued for copying Barbie! Check out his imdb if you don't believe me!

That's it for now. Should I continue?
