The Ability to be Loved

I belong to several fan groups and have an unusual of view that most, ehm, Mature individuals don't get to see. Young people are very lonesome. They feel so alone and many without any hope in their hearts for anything different in the future of their personal lives.

I'm not sure that this doesn't come from the fact that these younger generations ( all the way from 14 to 30+ ) haven't grown up in an environment where The Government is supposed to take care of everything and that they are entitled to the Government to take care of them.

Education seems to mean nothing any longer. There was a time that the more education you had, the greater the chances of going into a profession where you would get you slice of the American Dream. That "dream" longer exist.

It doesn't matter what profession you go into.

Most of the young people I've come into contact with want be loved, desperately, but they don't seem to love themselves.

Why is this? There is so much self help material "out there", they shouldn't have any problems finding a source that could help them come to realize that they must love themselves first, then, someone else will be able to love them too!

I've asked them all why they think they won't find someone else love them. It was surprising the answer I got the most. They aren't sure what "love" is, or how to learn to love themselves.

It's broken my heart that so many of the teens I've come to be friends with have no idea how to go about loving themselves. They ask me right off if that's not being selfish.

My answer to them is to take their key from Mother Nature.

The seed is dried out, but a spark of life is within it and when put into the soil, it has to fight for every drop of water and for every ray of light so that magic that occurs can take place. It has to be greedy and suck up as much of these as possible, so it can burst forth and grow and can fulfil it's reason for living...sharing itself.

So it is also with humans. We must grown and take in everything that is necessary for grown and personal fulfillment before they can share themselves with others.

Once we find our place in the Sun, then others can see us for what marvelous creatures we are, can share others, can allow ourselves to be loved.

Robsten Lives

OK. I surrender. Robsten is real. Not a studio ploy to sell tickets, though I believe that they do make use of it.

I have to surrender when hard assed Gossipsters such as Ted Casablanca and Lainey of Lainey Gossips are convinced, why should I hold out?

This young couple is unlike any other Hollywood couple that I can remember. Usually Hollywood couples want the publicity and are real camera whores every chance they get. Not these two remarkable young people. I take my hats off to them.

Now with my surrender, they, Robsten, has a very large responsibility to me, and those others who have had the faith right along. They must make a go of it!

I don't honestly care if they get married, though I would not be adverse to it, and would probably be very happy for them, and I would light candles for their marriage to be a long and happy, or at least compatible one.

These two might have a much better chance of making it in a marriage than most Hollywood couples. Since they've managed to withstand so many of the slings and arrows of life in Tinsel Town.

I don't know what I'm going to blog about now. Sigh. Being a pseudo doubter of the couple was fodder for some of my musing.

Huntsman Difficulties

I have been wondering why more Fan sites for Kristen Stewart and the original Twilight movies have not picked up on the fact that the movie Snow White and the Huntsman is having such difficulty finding a "huntsman"?

Perhaps they think it's something private and not good advertising for the film?

Granted that could be a factor, but I'm more inclined to think that it's because Hollywood is still a "Man's World" that women are just allowed to play a tiny part of as a sex objects. Sure over the past 5 to 10 years women have made big strides in the industry ,( they're allowed to be killers and beat up on men, but the roles they can get their acting chops into are very hard to find ), but Universals difficulty in finding the Huntsman for Snow White is really beginning to bother me!

First Vigo Mortensen was originally signed onto be the Huntsman, then backed out. Now, I did read there were scheduling conflicts, but these conflicts only seem to have surfaced after Kristen Stewart signed onto the project.

Next the roll was offered to Hugh Jackman, who turned it down for the same reason as Vigo Mortensen did.

Now I'm reading that Kristen Stewart has agreed to slash her fee - take less money - to get the project off the ground. http://www.slashfilm.com/joel-edgarton-star-bourne-legacy-snow-white-huntsman/

My thinking is that neither of the men asked so far to play the huntsman ego's could tolerate the fact that they would be overshadowed by women!

Think about it.

You have Kristen Stewart who has a fan base that surprised Hollywood ( case in point WFE premier in NYC and the fans that were waiting for Kristen to show up to support her reported BF Robert Pattinson even though there was not official statement that KS would be there - now that's a fan base ) and Charlize Theron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlize_Theron who is a power house by herself and a large fan base to boot.

It's my feeling that Hollywood males ego's can't take the fact that women's name attached to the project will over shadow themselves, or that those same women's name could attract a larger pay check.

Was that Kiss staged?

I know everyone is beaming about how Kstew flew to NCY to support Rpatz at the WFE premiere and that it's proof that Robsten lives, but I say, still, that I feel it's at least in part, a product of the studio. Their love story mirrors the Twilight films somewhat. Not the marauding vampires of course, unless you count the paparazzi as vampires, but the actual "love affair". They are a charming looking couple, and they do look at each other adoringly, but they are actors right?Forgive me, but I just find it hard to believe. I'd LOVE for it to be true. I'd LOVE to believe that there is really that much of a chance for romance in the World. OK. So we hear from all these "inside sources", saying how much in love they or, or they are on the outs, or blah blah blah, but these quotes and sources are only mentioned by mags of less than reputable character. There's only two that I have seen be consistently correct in what they've reported and that's Ted Casablanca and Lanie Gossips. Ted says they are, and he's judging from the reports that the couple is living together in a hotel. Laniey seems to have a really good inside source that's not led anyone astray as yet, and even she seems to think that "The Kiss" after the WFE party was staged to promote their own film coming up.That Kiss between the couple was so quick and looked staged to me. Rpatz's grined his grin he gets when he's doing something he knows will embarrass Kstew, that's not true affection. The new Twilight Saga movie isn't even due to open until close to the end of this year and in Hollywood Box Office, that's a looooooooong time. They need to keep the Buzz going. Mark my words, there will be a great many more Robsten sightings of PDA and pictures that make it on to the Internet that the Producers of the films are going to be outraged about. All the outrage over the love scenes was worth a great deal in advertising for the movie. In all honestly I hope I'm proved wrong. I really and truly would love to believe they are really in love.Please don't hate me for feeling this way. It's what my Life experience has shown me. In truth only time will really tell if Robsten is True Love.

Life? After Twilight Saga

Life? After Twilight Saga?

Is there Life after the Twilight Saga comes to a total end in 2012? Well, one doesn't live to reach my age with developing some good coping skills. To wit, I am now the proud owner of “The Panic Room”, “The Messengers”, “Speak”, “The Cake Eaters”, “Welcome to the Riley” and “Adventure land” is back ordered for some reason. I know Out of the Wilderness is supposed be one of Kristen's best, but I just can't get through the rest of it. Sigh

There must be a couple other movies, oh yeah, The Yellow Handkerchief..

Well, Water for Elephants is going to be out in a couple of days and On the Road follows this summer, then Cosmopolis will start filming soon, and hopefully Snow White will find her Huntsman soon and they can get that moving.

Then in November BD1 will be released and I'll have that DVD to wear out until the final part of BD will come out and I can cheer Bella Wonder Woman the Vampire!

Oh yes, Robsten walks the Red Carpet for each other with every new movie. Then I'd like to see Robsten do another movie together, after they take a very well deserved vacation together on some South Seas Island they they buy together! Can I dream or what!!!

In short, I have no idea what I'll do to replace my obsession with Twilight. I keep hoping someone will come up with a good idea for me?

Twlight's not just for the young

I recently made a new Friend who said she loved the fact that I was a grandmother and I didn't seem to care or think that the Twilight Saga was just for the young! Hell no! Let's face it. Carlise is 300 something. Edward is 100+, so, need I say more? Twilight seems to have the ability to speak to the Romance of the Soul. I honestly didn't think I had any romance in my soul. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I did. My daughter keeps asking me "who are you and what have you done with my mother". I must have short changed her growing up. Sigh. Sorry Darl'n. I didn't mean to. With the Life Experiences I'd had to work with, what can I tell you, romance wasn't much a part of it. I was too busy trying to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. So the result is at this mature age I've discovered I have some romance in my soul due to a series of books called The Twilight Saga. You'd think my daughter would be happy for me wouldn't you. Do I get greeted with that's wonderful Mom?? No, I get, OMFG! My mother is a TwiMom! You're too old for this Mom. So, I smiled at her, and went right out and bought all the books for my eldest grand daughter to read. She's only 10 right now, but we talk about Twilight and all the rest of them. She's got quite a head on her shoulders and she seems to understand what they are saying, even though she's not have any experience to go along with it, yet. I like the message that this series of books give and if she takes them to heart, more's the better Ahh, revenge is sweet! Any way ... it's never too late to develop some romance in your soul and I have the Twilight Saga to thank for that. Edward is such a romantic character and he's soooooooooooo, well, you ladies know what I mean. Ooo, I can just feel my blood pressure starting to rise now. ( Fanning myself ) So, all you young nubile youngsters can just go fish. I shall continue to enjoy the books and the movies and all that goes along with them. I have never been so obsessed with anything like this in my entire life! And it is marvelous. I love it and am loving it. I hope you "youngsters" get as much from this series as we "old farts" seem to be.

I got a little pissed this morning...

I had a little time this morning, so I did a little extra roaming around the internet looking for something I might have missed about Kstew ( it could happen ) and ran across this ( Link to article from SciFi Mifia ) http://scifimafia.com/2011/03/snow-white-and-the-huntsman-universal-couldnt-pay-mortensen-enough-to-work-with-stewart/ Frankly I got a little pissed when I read the header of the article. It seemed to infer from the way it was worded, that Vigo Mortensen didn't want to work with Kristen Stewart and the studio couldn't pay him enough to do it. What the article actually says is he wanted 8 million and the studio said no. So he goes to the next on his list of talks to play the heavy in the current remake of Superman and also looses that roll. Now I could be the nice guy and say, “Gee! I'm so sorry”, but I'm not. He would have been perfect for the roll ( from what I've read about the part ) but he choose to ask for such a high salary the studio says no. His loss. Even better now the roll has been offered to Huge Jackman, who'll work just as well, if not better. What concerns me the most is that the spot light will once again be deflected from Kstew in favor of her male co-star. Perhaps this doesn't bother her, but it does me. Kristen Stewart has enough acting abilities that she could carry just about any script Hollywood could come up with on her own, without some hunky male opposite her. Somebody, please come up with a script that doesn't require a love interest of any kind. Maybe one about sisters, or family! Anything that wouldn't take the stage center away from our Kstew!
