As expected, my Robert Pattinson obsession was short-lived (though exams and projects and stuff are still in full throb *sigh*). I think he’s been side-tracked partly by the European Figure Skating Championships (not that I had time to properly watch them or anything, but I have seen a bit :) I’m really happy for Przemek - he’s skated his best ever at Europeans :) ) and also I think I’m having some sort of Harry Potter relapse - haven’t had one in about 1,5 years (since the 7th book came out), which is a pretty long time for me ;)
But anyway, I best finish the pending Robert Pattinson posts off cause I think there’s still some cool stuff to write about *grin*

Trailer

The sceptical part of me thinks that…
…actually the sceptical part of me isn’t thinking all that much about this film ;) I guess it’ll be a pretty small, independent kind of film and the budget and time constraints might be visible, but it still might be a lot of fun, so I don’t think it matters.

The excited part of me thinks that…
…it’s going to be hilarious to see Robert Pattinson in a part like this ;) He’s really looking great on the trailer. And the film generally looks like a lot of fun and warmth. The brand of humour in the trailer looks like just the kind of thing I like. Very often in these kinds of films they go just for the comic effect and make those kinds of characters into total caricatures. But to me the trailer looks like they’ve managed to keep a good balance - there’s something slightly real about the guy.
