THE BAD MOTHER'S HANDBOOK - LOL. This is hilarious english drama that I stumbled upon. It's so funny, I was watching parts of it in youtube.

Daniel: “You know, when I see women giving birth on TV there’s always the gripping of bedsteads and rolling around in agony, but this is a bit boring.”

*CHARLOTTE SUDDENLY SCREAMS IN PAIN*

*Daniel grabs anaesthesia awkwardly*

Charlotte: “I WANT SOME PROPER DRUGS! WHAT’S THE POINT OF THIS SODDING BIRTH IF NO ONE’S GOING TO TAKE NOTICE OF IT!”

Daniel: “Look, the baby’s premature, they’re not going to give you pethidine, sorry.”

Charlotte: “OH YOU’RE SO BLOODY SENSIBLE! I WANT SOME ONE IRRESPONSIBLE! MUM! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!”

*HOWLS IN AGONY*

Daniel: “Uh, you know er, Medieval women used to chew willow twigs for the pain, it er contains a natural asprin apparently.”

Charlotte: “ARE YOU COMPLETELY BARKING!”

Daniel: “Barking, mad as a dog, oh sorry do you – uh, do you want me to put a CD on or something? Do you want a wet flannel?”

Charlotte: *glaring at him* “No thanks, but if you EVER try to have sex with me I WILL KILL YOU!!!”

*howling*

***

*Charlotte wakes up to find baby gone*

“ Shit, Will? Mum where are you I think my boobs are going to explode, why didn’t you wake me I feel like I’ve been in a wet t-shirt competition!”

“SURPRISE!”

*Bursts out crying running the bathroom covering her chest*

***

*Charlotte and her mum emerge from bathroom*

*Daniel stands awkwardly* “Uhh, I got you something” *jewellery encased in a small box*

*Charlotte eyes him suspiciously*

Daniel: “Uuuuuh, it’s just earrings.”

Charlotte: “Well thank fuck for that!” *she starts kissing him*

Daniel: “Um, um what are you doing?... I don’t think you, are you, are you sure?”

Now, how did I stumble across this, you wonder?

Well as outraged as I was an an Edwardian fangirl, I decided to step back and look beyond the eyebrows and non-photogenicness of Mr. Pattinson and decided to give him a chance.

NOW DON'T KILL ME DYANNE.

So, what I did, I went on a Youtube expedition. There I went looking up his previous work (beyond Harry Potter. I have the DVD and watched it again to remind myself of him)and interviews etc. Ah yes, there is a word for this: RESEARCH. To be honest, his role in Harry Potter didn't reveal enough of his acting ability for me. I don't really like being judgemental, and I'm afraid was. A lot. Ergo I've been doing my research to see if he has the ability to be Edward-like.

These are my conclusions:

He isn't MY Edward, HOWEVER he CAN be an Edward. He's obviously some girls' Edward. And to be honest, I'm fine with that. What can I say, he's growing on me (after watching The Bad Mother's Handbook, he'll grow on you too). I was fortunate enough to view a clip of him in the film Vanity Fair, and I must concede that his role there was VERY Edwardian, despite my reservations about him. It was very Edward, that's all I can say. He was in a movie called 'How to Be' which looked very Napoleon Dynamite meets Crossroads. Wait, wow that sounds rather bizarre but I really disliked the way he looked in that. He looked very... erm, like a loser? However, then I caught a glimpse of 'The Haunted Airman' and looking beyond those eyebrows, I began to realise that he could actually do this. He could actually be Edward. NOW DYANNE DO NOT SCOFF, OR FEED THIS BURNING DESIRE TO KILL OR SCREAM AT YOUR MONITOR. He looked very Edwardian in the 'The Haunted Airman.' I very much liked his look there, despite that his character smoked, was in love with his aunt etc.

I also mentioned that I watched a couple of his interviews, and his personality is one of those things that made him grow on me. It's very...hmm... I don't think there really is a proper english word for it. It's very glompable? He's very glompable. (Taken from the Fangirl dictionary of neologisms) Well, cute comes close. It was the GOF interview when he was expaining the swimming scenes, and laughing a lot. It was cute.

I also believe that hair and make up can do a lot. So I think that they'll do something, make him look like Edward...I suppose. I believe he's a very flexible actor. From Haunted Airman, to Bad Mother's Handbook, to Harry Potter? Yeah, he's flexible. I applaud his acting skills. All in all, I'm beginning to really think that he can do this. It's crazy I know, but I think he can. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the transformation xD

Oh there was a casting call for Jacob Black! *cough* WHO MUST DIE *cough* *cough*

RP isn't very photogenic. However he's good in film. I remember reading an interview of his saying that England, the look there is to look all rugged and hung over. Erm, no thanks, I'd prefer him CLEAN SHAVEN WITH BRUSHED HAIR. Which I prefer to be shorter. I mean, I know Edward's hair is meant to be tousled, but sexy tousled, like windswept, hey I just got off my motorbike. Not ohh, shit I just woke up in the middle of the street with a wicked hangover and all I remember is spewing on the hooker I forgot to pay.

There is one VERY attractive/perfect aspect about him. HIS HANDS. GOODNESS HAVE YOU SEEN HIS HANDS? I know this sounds very random and very very obscure, oblique and bizarre but HAVE YOU SEEN HIS HANDS?? THEY'RE THE MOST PERFECT HANDS I HAVE EVER SEEN. HIS HANDS ARE PERFECT. YOU HAVE TO SEE HIS HANDS!

LOL. yes. ok. I'm over it.

Anyway, back to The Bad Mother's Handbook, which he stars in as the very dorky, geeky and nerdy but honest to God adorable Daniel. I LOVE his character there. They tried to make him look dorky at first but I liked what he was wearing in the beginning... skinnies, white long sleeved shirt, vest, tie... I liked that look.

LOL.

"So will you come on Saturday?"

"I'LL COME!"

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"... Pretending to be a part of your conversation. I don't know anyone else."

"Well you don't know us either."


ROFLMAO!!!

OK. I have to go.

In summation, Robert Pattinson has really grown on me and I don't mind him as Edward. I believe in both hair and make up and his flexible acting ability and I think he'd be able to pull it off. Please do not kill me Dyanne, for he is the first guy I've ever seen with perfect, 'more perfect than a girl's' hands.

Signing out. Until next time -
