Breaking Dawn Teaser Trailer – The Unicorn Perspective

There’s been a lot of buzz on the Interwebs about the Breaking Dawn teaser trailer that was somehow leaked early debuted at the MTVMAs on Sunday. I’m a little late to the party here, but unfortunately other unicorn-ish business has kept me from putting my thoughts down. A quick recap of the key points that [...]

The Evil That We Do

I don’t think what happened with regard to the Great Breaking Dawn Leak is evil, really. Thoughtless, yes. I doubt the people who perpetuated the leak were motivated by a desire to damage the film and its performers.  Quite the opposite, actually. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This post might [...]

Potty-mouthed Stew and Why We Fucking Love it

As the English critic Cyril Connolly aptly put, “Vulgarity is the garlic in the salad of taste.” I like uttering a few choice expletives in the proper situation, listening to righteous cussing in real life and movies, and peppering my online chats with variations of the good old f-word to bring some flavor to the [...]

Zen and the Art of Fanboying

I’ve always been fairly interested in philosophy; cutting my teeth on some old-school Nietzsche and Buddhist schools of thought back in high school when I was trying to find myself. Later in college I graduated to a broader spectrum of classical thinkers from antiquity. As a science major, probably the most interesting courses for me [...]

What A Man Wants

Every time there’s a Robsten sighting at some shindig, like the People’s Choice Awards or a movie promotion, I invariably end up engaging in some second-hand-embarrassment in the following days as I read the fan reactions to the lack of PDA. Even more so when the claws come out and the hissing starts about the [...]

Fic Fatigue

It’s been close to a year since I delved into the murky underbelly of the TwiFandom, that is to say the world of fics. I haven’t logged into FanFiction.net in awhile, but I think I had at some point close to a hundred stories in my Favorites, and I had read more than two thirds [...]

Best Kiss – Doing it for Realz Next Time

MTV recently announced the date for next year’s Movie Awards: June 5th.  The highlight for two years running now has been the Best Kiss Award, which to our delight (but not surprise) has been won by Rob and Kristen. They’ll be up for the award again for sure for Eclipse, which is set to launch [...]

Career, Art, and Paychecks

We love them for their modesty and down-to-earth attitudes when it comes to the fame, clothing, and outlook on life. Given the effect of the Twilight phenomenon, they could’ve cashed out already through endorsement deals and roles in shiteous teeny-bopper movies. But these kids are alright and are focusing on more important stuff – like [...]

Fate and Free Will In Twilight

I’ve long been a fan of stories that deal with fateful events, one’s destiny, or the causal nature of life (i.e. the consequences of one’s choices). Starting from the Homerian legends and stretching all the way to more modern epics like the Lord of the Rings, I find myself fascinated by the struggles of the [...]

Rob’s Hottest Co-Stars

We did a post recently about Kristen’s hottest co-stars, so naturally one about Rob’s is also needed. He may be tapping the sexiest, most robust butt in Hollywood right now, but he has and is working with some mighty fine specimens of the fairer sex. I took upon myself the “arduous” task of doing research [...]
