Don't worry, I have TWO and I'm not even sure why.  :-(    If I could erase one with a thumbs up I would give it to you!

Yeah, me too.

I gave you a thumbs up as well.  Only because I'm on the computer.  I don't go near those things otherwise.  My fingers aren't that small.   

I'm currently re-reading Chance Encounter by Besotted as I was in the mood for Actorward.

I read this a long time ago but, don't remember Bella being such a whiny witch.  I feel like giving her a good shake!

Hello to the lovely ladies of PTS - the Rob Pr0n edition!    Popping in real quick while I have some free time and I'm about 80+ pages behind    I'm just glad I made it back before thread #4 started!!

We're in post-prod, so I have some time to check in and hope everyone here is doing better than well.  Had a little email back & forth a few weeks ago with Booked to confirm some of my stats for some spreadsheet.  Is it completed yet?  Honestly, not sure I want to take a look because I know most of you ladies are blessed in the boobage dept, while I was left with unripened apricots on this puny chest of mine.  I've been in and out of the country periodically the last 5+ weeks, but thankfully, I wasn't stopped at the airports (domestic and international) this time asking where my "parents" or "guardian" were to my co-workers everlasting amusement.   
 
What have I been reading lately?  Unfortunately, not much, however I just started the wip Terroir by thimbles and it has kept me interested
Astro - E's an Aussie in this fic and pretty hot.  If the story doesn't take a radical left turn towards WTFville and go to shits or SPaG purgatory, then it should be one to keep on everyone's radar.

Isabella Swan uproots her life on a whim, moving halfway around the world in search of something more. Perhaps she will find what she's looking for in the neatly laid rows of Cullen Family Wines' Hunter Valley vineyard. Sometimes, it is the grafted vine that produces the more vigorous growth.  

Lauren - I re-read TSAward while I was in the car heading for LAX (los angeles int'l airport) last month, hoping for some good luck mojo to get a good-looking TSA agent to do a stop and search.     Instead, I got a big. fat. nothing. wave through.  Although, the security agent doing the x-ray scans gave me a smirk and a wink after he scanned my bag like he knew something.  I've been wondering if he thought my clarisonic was a fake peen or vibrator.   I swear, it was my clarisonic! You know, the second thing that vibrates that I can't live without.  Hey y'all, take your mind out of the gutter! The first is my phone.  I promise. 

Most of you know I'm not cuckoo for Rob's cocoa puffs, but I can't help thinking of you all whenever I hear his name mentioned at work.  It's gotten to the point where some of my staff think I want in his pants.     As for SAF?  The funny thing is that I get asked quite frequently by family and friends about SAF and why she keeps landing all these various roles.  General consensus seems to be that she can't act.  I say, she can.... she's just not that good at it.  I wish I could say she's an anomaly in the industry, but no-talent/limited talent is nothing new in Hollywood.  I tell them that SAF's Aussie clone (Teresa Palmer) is much better on the acting front and is actually quite charming in person as well.  Now, speaking of clones, has anyone been watching Orphan Black?  I like....

Crap, gotta get back to work.

I really like Terroir. Love Aussie Edward.

I think SAF is a great actress. She gets all this men thinking that she is even worth ruining your marriage over it.....

Ladies and gentelmen (who am I kidding ), we might have a winner...

Alex Pettyfer is about to become the object of lust for Fifty Shades of Grey fans everywhere, as HollywoodLife.com can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that he has been chosen to lead the big screen adaptation of the literary sensation.

Thoughts?

I read a few weeks a go he did a screen test for FsoG - I just don't see him as Christian.
For some reason I can only see my hubby #1 - Alex Skarsgard or Matt Bomer, which I know they are both too old for the part. 
I'm loving this mock up poster for 50 that's going around atm:

I don't get all the hate about Stewart (that's who SAF is right?) I think that she is an average actress who had some potential before Twilight. Afterwards she was swallowed by "fame" too much publicity, she went way over her head. Too bad, because last time I saw her pro-twilight, I enjoyed her performance very much. (Btw, it was in Adventureland alongside Jesse Eisenberg).

Also, it is almost 1.30 am here and I just got a text to go out for a late coffee. Gotta love exams' period, everyone's clocks are going crazy! Catch you all tomorrow 

I just have to say that I don't get the hate towards Kristen either. I agree that I think she got swallowed by the whole Twilight-over-exposed fame thing and that damaged her credibility and what could probably have been a nice indie career.  She isn't a classically trained theater actress - in fact she has no training, but I think she is right for certain types of roles and I hope that she finds her niche now that she can let go of the stigma associated with it all.  I enjoyed SWATH, and I think she did an OK job - but I don't think she's the big-budget action movie type of star.  She needs small, character driven roles.  I would love to see her go to college or get some real acting training now that she has the time.  It's unfortunate that people hate her just because of who she dated, for being honest and saying what she thinks, for making a mistake any one of us could have also made in a moment of bad judgement, and that the fame she really doesn't seem to want stalks her on a daily basis.   I hope she finds herself and her place.   If that's acting, then more power to her.  If it's writing or directing or below the line, then that would be great too.

2muchrubbish - Thanks for the drive-by.  Hope you're enjoying the work even if it's keeping you away from us.  If you're 80 pages behind, that's only about a week in real time here.  Do keep us in mind if you hear anything good, fun, scandalous...oh, just anything about Rob.  Cuz most of us (not you, D_D), are cuckoo for Rob's cocoa puffs.

Which Fic is Gabriel's Inferno/Redemption? Who is the author? I'm going to get those books as well. Yeah, JD is older but would be believable as 50. And you are right, I have cast 50 in my head and so far no one has come close enough.
Would anyone want to see RP as 50? Just seeing Cosmopolis makes me believe he could do it.

It was originally Sebastien Robichaud's The University of Edward Masen. It was good...

Between the Twilight films & Snow White, I can't figure out if she's just an 'okay' actress or if it's something about how her character is cast. While Bella in the films has a teensy bit more depth than the books, her character is flat. There's not much one can do with either bad writing or editing. Snow White was beautifully filmed, but again it felt like her character wasn't developed. I couldn't figure out if that was Stewart or the editing/writing. I just saw the Runaways, and I thought she was better in that, but not great. I guess I'm still giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Wide Awake is ripping me apart!  I thought I'd already suffered through the "new moon moment" but I think I'm actually just about to get to it.
