NEW/old Dallas Hot Topic Pics

Thanks to Colleen Allison for taking these beautiful pictures and sharing with us :)) The pics are from Rob's appearance at the Dallas Hot Topic Event on November 12th 2008

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak... (I know I'm cheesy :)

Is he biting his bottom lip? Is he? *THUD*

"Twilight" takes lead in '09 video sales

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – "Twilight" has quickly become the biggest home-video release of the year, selling 5.6 million units during its first eight days, according to trade publication Home Media Magazine.

The vampire romance took the crown from "Madgascar: Escape 2 Africa," which has sold an estimated 5.3 million units since its February 6 release, according to Home Media research.

"Twilight," like the "Madagascar" sequel, wasn't released on the traditional Tuesday street date. Rather, the film arrived on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on Saturday, March 21 ("Madagascar" came out on a Friday).

The release sold 3 million units its first day in stores, according to distributor Summit Entertainment, enough to send it to the top of the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart for the week ended March 22.

Just 3 percent of the film's total unit sales came from Blu-ray Disc, not surprising given the "Twilight's" Blu-ray Disc edition is being sold only at Target Stores and Best Buy until May 5.

Contact Your Local Theatre To Request Little Ashes

Little Ashes will be in opening in US in select theatres starting May 8th. You can see the schedule HERE. You can also call your local "art" movie theatre and request them to show the movie in their theatre. It is important for the recognition of the movie so pick up your phone and get to dialing :))

Also this is from Little Ashes Promotional Blitz has an older article from Valladolid Film Festival, with some interesting commentary by Javier Beltrán about Little Ashes(via LA Spanish Blog). It gives you some insight to the film.

The special friendship that the playwright Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) and painter Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) had: intellectual, creative and effective, is the main point in the film ‘Little Ashes,' from British film maker Paul Morrison and with the Spanish actor Javier Beltrán who plays the poet. More so than the supposed homosexuality from both, that Morrison does not hide in this film, he also wants to show up to what point both " influenced each other's work and personal life." Javier Beltrán explains before attending the premier of the film in the Valladolid Festival.

"Even though the homosexuality between the two is there and you only need to open three or four books to prove it because it has not been hidden, the director did not try to hide from it with the consensus of all the actors. They have been two very important characters to just treat them as ordinary." Beltrán has made clear that "its not just the story of two people," but the intent to know more of the work of two creators through their lives and in a special way in which the friendship they had in 1922, when they met in La Residencia de Estudiantes, and in 1936, when Garcia Lorca was executed in Granada.

The objective is to find out "how much Lorca is in Dalí's (played by Robert Pattinson) work and how much Dalí is in Garcia Lorca's work" says the actor who incarnates the author of ‘Yerma,' his first acting on film. For Beltrán the objectivity in the treatment of this delicate subject is guaranteed and accentuated in the creation of the director of ‘Little Ashes,' far from the political, social and cultural taboo's with what is could of been a Spanish director. Morrison's "point of view is not conditional" says one of the actors of the film.

Also adding that, by extension, "a film about Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty) and Pepin Bello (Bruno Oro)," among other tenants of Madrid's Residencia de Estudiantes, and also about the denominated "Generation of 27." The movie was filmed in Barcelona, where Madrid has been recreated fro the 20's and the golden years of the Residencia de Estudiantes. Also in Cadaqués (Gerona), where Lorca and Dalí spent a vacation together. Paul Morrison (London, 1944), resides in his native city and has a career as a director, producer and screenwriter in film and television series.

Thanks to Crazy for telling me to encourage people for the requests :)

Creepiest Rob Photo Yet?

Creepiest Rob Photo Yet? I think so...

Is it Rob? Is it Darth Vader?

This was taken at the Storyeum Afterparty Sunday night. You can see Michael Angarano on the couch and next to him is Kristen with her red plaid shirt.

Should I have posted this? Big internal dilemma went on. So I decided to post with a disclaimer: Poor boy can't even enjoy a party without having a hood on to hide under. If you "meet" Rob don't be a creep, ask for a photo and if he says no move on and if he doesn't even look like he wants to be asked, move on....

And a very true observation from Erin: Pretty strong energy in this pic every single female body is turned towards him, he must be very aware of that even with his back turned.

Thanks to Anna for sending me the pic.
