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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fic Author Interview: Johnnyboy7 – There Will Be Blood

Usually when we do a fic author interview it’s me, C2R, and whomever we’re interviewing.  This time the whole gang turned up because they  had all read “There Will Be Blood”, loved it,  and hello! – it’s written by a Unicorn!  That’s right, C2R performed the RobstenLove.com Testicular Verification, and Johnnyboy7 is, in fact, a dude.  [...]

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 [...]

‘The Yellow Handkerchief’ Review

I have to admit this was my least anticipated KStew movie to come out this year, since the road movie ensemble thing isn’t exactly my bag. However, looking at the cast helped me get into the headspace to watch and enjoy the movie. I’ve been a huge fan of William Hurt and Maria Bello since [...]

The Good, The Bad, and Ugly of Fics

Yep, it’s me again, yammering about fics. I’ve really been struggling to keep up with my growing list of favorite fics over the summer due to vacationing and work. Luckily, I’ve at least had some time to think  about reading my updates, and on occasion talk about and read them with the other bloggers. During [...]

Future Forays

Our two kiddos are working like busy bees at the moment with their own projects, and soon also on Breaking Dawn. It’s always fun to speculate about their upcoming roles and think about the kind of movies, stories, genres or roles we’d like to see them in. Here’s a list of typical movie genres and [...]
