Goodness knows I have many faults and weird quirks of my own, so I have no room to question anyone else’s motivations. With that in mind, and offering no judgment of anybody else’s opinions and actions, I would like to share my thoughts on a few subjects. What I am really saying is, please don’t come burn down my house.
I don’t really want to meet any person in the cast of Twilight in a Fan Situation. It would just be so unbearably awkward, I would be crushed under the weight of it all. I am fairly awkward enough with people I know; can you imagine what it would be like with someone I admire but don’t actually know? I would have no idea what to say except, “Hi! I am a stranger! I like watching you do what you do for work! Have a nice day!” (See? It would be awful for everyone involved. I respect them all as people too much to do that to them.) That’s not to say I don’t want to meet them, it’s that I don’t want to bug PFach at lunch with his family while I drool into his salad. I am hoping that some sort of situation occurs where we are all best friends forever…maybe I save the Twilight cast from a ninja attack, or we are all trapped in a night club together, or perhaps we will grow a deep, meaningful bond as we struggle to survive a zombie attack. I am open to possibilities.
Mostly the fault of a proper New England upbringing, I don’t like to refer to any person to whom I have not been introduced by their first name. By goofy shortened names yes, proper names no. I suppose I feel it’s a bit disrespectful, because as much as I watch the movies and interviews and all of that, I do not actually know these people in real life. Sadly, we are not all friends (YET! There is still the possibility of zombie apocalypse!).
And speaking of respect: It’s not that I don’t care if they are dating as much as I feel it is none of my business. If “Robsten” want to come out and declare themselves, then hooray for them. They are both adorable and I hope they are happy. But I hope they are happy no matter what. I don’t know them personally (YET!) but they seem like lovely people, so I wish them well no matter who they are dating, or not dating, or friending with benefits. And as there has been no official word, I feel it is disrespectful to speculate. I know this is a touchy subject for some people, so again I would like to ask that nobody come set my house on fire.
If you have any well thought out and non-stabby thoughts, I would love to discuss them in the comments.
You are a very nice person. I like the way you express your thoughts and feelings about everything and anything. I like the way you say things they read or I should say they sound funny. Please keep up the good work. Take care.
I have yet to disagree with any of your posts. They're so well thought out and I really enjoy reading them.
I promise I won't burn down your house!
Aww, thanks, ladies. Especially about the not burning my house, but all the other stuff, too.
<3
YES! I am also a born&bred yankee so maybe that explains why I so feel the same way. And if my grandson is right there WILL be zombie attacks.
so there is hope for me…!
I agree that meeting them would be awkward, I would almost feel guilty if I saw one of them in public. I adore them all and love reading and watching them in movies but I feel they are human being whom deserve privacy and respect. ( I would most likely faint if I ever saw one of the Twi cast in person, lol)
I can't even bring myself to look at papparazzi photos, because I think it sucks that they can't sit at Starbucks without being bugged. I know it's part of being famous and all, but…bleah. It doesn't look fun and RPattz and KStew have made it clear that they don't like it. Poor things. Maybe after Twilight they will go on with their cool indie movie career and everyone will ease up a bit.
I can tell your comments are sincere. However, celebrities want to be noticed and sought after. The minute people stop caring, their "value" goes down and they won't be offered the roles or big paychecks. With a relaitive in the biz, I know first hand that celebrities know exactly where to go to be "seen" and get their picture taken. Your feelings are a breath of fresh air in the world of "Twilight"!
Yeah, I get that. It does seem funny to say, "oh poor thing, you got too famous!" But I think there are different kind of people who go into acting, and there are degrees of famous. It seems like Taylor Lautner is good at "celebrity", and is pursuing that (I may have to have a post about Stretch Armstrong. *sigh* Good thing he's pretty…) (*grin*)
Anyway, I think that all the cast are in a position now to choose more about how they want to go in their career, and lucky them!
Thanks for the compliment!
You do have a strong point. It would be odd to meet them and have nothing to really say to them except for Twilight related things. That would be really awkward.
I couldn't agree more. I couldn't meet them at a fan situation because it would feel so awkward!! I agree there should be limits on their privacy—they may be famous, but they're still human beings who deserve a little privacy and respect! I enjoyed your post!
Thats what I would do, some what. I wouldnt go up and scream in their faces like certain fans, i'd give them their personal space. I understand them alot, I know all this fan stuff is not so easy to get used to and its annoying at times. I'd LOVE to meet them, even if I really didnt know them, I feel like i've known them for years. But it would be nice if they would give it a rest with the screaming! If they really loved the Twilight cast they would respect them and their personal space….and their ears. xP
yeah, the posts are all really interesting and insightful
i do really agree about that awkwardness…. its strange because the onus is kind of on the celebrity to make it not awkward because they are the interesting one: rob/kristen could probably just stand there breathing and i would be enthralled. but they really are just strangers (that we follow religiously and are interested in everything they do), so the awkwardness is inevitable. you wouldnt go up to some random on the street, interrupt what they're doing and tell them you love them and strike up a conversation with them.
having said all that though, and considering the fact that i really do respect their privacy, if i saw any of them i would just HAVE to go over to them. the chance of actually seeing a member of the twi cast is so small that i would absolutely take my opportunity. maybe that makes me a bad person. but i probably still would.
I totally agree with most of the comments. I hate to see paparazzi pics of Pattinson because he looks SO unhappy. And I know a lot of celebs do like to have their picture taken, but there is a difference in one walking down the street, made up and dressed to the nines smiling for the paps, and a celeb hiding his face behind a beard, sunglasses, and ugly cap, watching his feet so no one can see his face.
Barring the wished-for zombie attack, I wouldn't go up to them and speak. I would just hide my face and peep at them through my sunglasses.
but then I have a crippling social anxiety so that goes for everyone in the world, not just my beloved vamps! Lol
I think I would almost be afaid to meet them. The reason being, in my mind, I would compare Rob to Edward and then realize he's nothing like the dreamy vampire I have come to love. That would ruin everything. However, I have enjoyed his other movies (he is talented) and interviews and find his personality to be quite charming. Then of course when it comes to Kristin, it would be so hard to resist telling her she needs to find another career. She plays the same person in every movie she has ever done. Just a different look but the same acting. Even in interviews she acts the same way. I think they could have found a better Bella. So if by chance I ever come across them, I'll leave them alone so that the excitement of this whole adventure isn't ruined.
You are so on point with your comments…it is great to see fans of Twilight respecting the story and the work these actors do, yet having the class and respect to draw the line between fictional characters and the actors' real lives. What a great fandom to be a part of!
is that pic taylor lautner with a wig
Yes, from a skit he did on Saturday Night Live as a teenage Twi-fan (Team Edward, no less. Heh). He was so funny; you should google it. I know it's on hulu.com.
I dont think I could have said that any better myself…
I like this info given and it has given me some sort of desire to have success for some reason, so thank you.
