I watched Twilight last weekend and about three things I was absolutely positive:
First, Rob Pattinson doesn't really wash his hair. Watching the movie has allowed me to scrutinize whether the rumor was true. Indeed it was. Rob's hair seemed to me like it was so messy and sticky, but since he was playing the role of Edward Cullen, he could pull off the "greasy" look and make it look cool. If he would be asked what is the #1 anti-dandruff shampoo, he would probably shrug and say, "Uhm, I really don't know."
It was quite a disappointment to not see massive flakes of dandruff on his sleeves. I was kind of expecting to see specks of white on his black shirt. Well, there is such a thing as video-editing. Maybe the special effects people just passed the flakes of dandruff into snow. I think I remember that there was a scene where it snowed in Forks. Maybe that wasn't really snow. Maybe it was Rob's . . . (nevermind)
Second, Rob Pattinson does not really justify Stephenie Meyer's description of Edward Cullen, but, personally, I think he aced the role and he managed to capture the hearts of Twilight fanatics. There was this part when Bella asks Jessica and Angela who the Cullens were, and when Edward enters, the people in the cinema silently gave out a little groupie scream: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee." I could only roll my eyes and counter with my own disgusted remark: "Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwww." If they only knew that Rob Pattinson doesn't wash his hair (because according to him, the hair washes itself), they might have reacted differently.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably smitten with . . .
Jacob Black (Take note: Jacob Black, not Taylor Lautner)
Alright, even from the start, I wasn't really for Edward. Even if the actor playing Jacob doesn't even come close to the Jacob that I had in mind (I would still rather have Steven Strait), when he (Jacob Black as Taylor Lautner) first appeared with Billy Black at the time Bella moved to Forks, I blushed like crazy! I couldn't help but smile. I dunno! Maybe because Taylor Lautner was playing the role of a Quileute American Native. And considering that he has Native ancestry, I was smitten. Everytime the movie shows Jacob, I feel my cheeks flush. It is psychotic, I know. But there is something about American Natives that drives me nuts.
So, to sum it up, Rob Pattinson is a great artist and a good-looking actor except he doesn't wash his hair, and Taylor Lautner really looks like an American Native and I am smitten by him! If only Rob Pattinson was Irish, I would love him too, even if he doesn't know the world's anti-dandruff shampoo.
