Eclipse Soundtrack: Atlas

"It's all at bats now."



WTF? I have no idea what this song is about but it's quite catchy. Oooo ooo ooo!

Eclipse Soundtrack: My Love

Seems like this song is about sacrificing all kinds of stuff for love. Which Bella actually won't have to do. She gets stuff she didn't even know she wanted, and doesn't lose anything. But that's another story for another movie or two.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Heavy In Your Arms

You calling me fat?

Eclipse Soundtrack: How Can you Swallow...

...So Much Sleep.

Get your mind out of the gutter! The name of the song is How Can you Swallow So Much Sleep.

These lyrics are SO Edward. Can I wake you up indeed!


And yet, WTF does this mean: Could you bag me up?

Eclipse Soundtrack: Jacob's Theme

Oh! He gets his own theme! He deserves it.


This song is very pretty, like him. I can totally see Edward and Bella making out to this...I mean...um...yeah.

Eclipse Soundtrack: The Line

This song is like the battle song of the Cullens. I can totally see Rosalie on bongos and Emmett plinking away on the bass.

Curious light projects these apparitions
In a slow dance
It beats like heart beats
Do they want to stay connected
To the solemn man

You know. Before they muster the werewolves and run off to meet the newborn army.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Eclipse (All Yours)

I can't stop now, indeed!

Eclipse Soundtrack: BECK!

This is the second of two songs about the infamous night in Edward's bed where Bella comes to her senses. While The Bravery's "Ours" is more about a frozen moment in time, let's not forget, blah blah blah a la Good Riddance, etc. this song is about two people who would prefer to disappear together entirely. It's ooozing sexy.


Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Holy crap, is this song about Edward or is this song about Edward?

Subtle? Not even a little bit! Hot? Heck yes!

Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow

Um, ok. SWOON!

Let's get lost, Edward!

Eclipse Soundtrack: Ours

This song by The Bravery is the first of two songs on the soundtrack about the night Bella comes to her freakin' senses and agrees to marry Edward. This one is pretty cool and will probably therefore become everyone's prom song about a frozen (hehe), sparkley moment in time, and then everyone will learn to loathe it.

In the meadow again, all alone.

Eclipse Soundtrack: Vampire Weekend

Just because your band name is Vampire Weekend doesn't mean you are qualified to sing Edward's soundtrack. Would they have gotten this gig if their band name was, I don't know, Citizen Dick?

Eclipse Soundtrack: Muse

Having already hyped our beloved Muse and their place on the third of three Twilight soundtracks (here and here), we won't go into more details except to further confirm that they are awesome.

But what follows is a series of Team Deer's thoughts on the other Twi-songs on the new soundtrack. Oh yes! Prepare yourself for themes of eternal love, eternal life, making a choice, leaving something behind, and beginnings/endings.

Oh!

And making out.

Movie Review: Cedward Diggory and the Goblet of Fire

The first time most of us glimpsed our Deer Mr. Pattinson was quite likely when we saw Cedric drop from a tree. And while most of us wouldn't dare say "Potter Stinks" I think it's fair to admit that most of us were quite happily pro-Cedric.

Obviously this is a lovely Harry Potter movie that you certainly don't need anyone to tell you about. But how can we resist offering you our special brand of innuendo, wand jokes, and RPatz commentary? Of course we can't resist!

Oh, Cedric.

Rob's Hair

Glorious!

Lovely, as always!

In this iteration it is glossy and flopsy and very wizard-jock-golden-boy. Rita Skeeter gets right in there and fondles his lovely locks --"What mysteries do the muscles mask? Does courage lie beneath those curls?" -- and then she situates herself in a Cedric/Harry sandwich before she whisks Harry off to a broom cupboard for a tête-à-tête. She's a (dirty old) woman after my own heart.


Rob's Quotes

First, here's how Harry gives Cedric the inside info in a very straightforward manner: "Dragons. That's the first task. They brought one for each of us."

Now here's how Cedric gives Harry the inside info in a roundabout and more-than-slightly suggestive manner: "You know the Prefects' bathroom on the 5th floor?" [Flashes winning smile. Leans closer to Harry.] "Not a bad place for a bath." [Nudge nudge wink wink.]


Perhaps my favorite RPatz quote of all time: "Take my body back, Harry!"

Indeed!

And what about other characters' quotes?

Voldemort [after killing Cedric]: "Tsk tsk tsk. Such a handsome boy."

Oh, Professor McGonagall: "Potter is a boy, not a piece of meat!" ...Really? The bathing scene sure fooled me.

[Cedric drops from tree.] Mr. Weasley: "And this strapping young lad must be Cedric, am I right?" Cedric: "Yes sir." Oh, Mr. Weasley. You've never been more right. [Hermione and Ginny exchange a check-out-the-hotness glance.]


Why Rob Chose to Be in This Movie

First off, it's compulsory if you are both British and an actor. You have to sign something when you join the British Actors' Equity Association, I'm quite certain.

Second, who wouldn't agree to let Ralph Fiennes kill you and then touch your face with his bare foot?

Twilight Crossover/Tie-In

I'm pretty sure that in the swimming scene Cedric is wearing--in addition to his custom Hufflepuff swimming suit--a Cullen Crest cuff bracelet.

What can Cedric do that Edward can't?

• Fly.
• Take a sudsy bubblebath with a ghost. (Technically Edward could do this, but he's such a prude he wouldn't.)
• Bleed
• Die
• Bend his wand

What can Edward do that Cedric can't?

• Sparkle
• Nothing else matters
  

Yet they have so much in common, Cedric and Edward! Aside from the affinity for trees, even. They both are really good looking. Well, maybe that's all.

[Insert wand joke.]

Wait! I bet Cedric would also want to kill Bella. Even if he isn't thirsting for her blood--she's just that annoying.

Also, they are both good at haunting their loved ones! The Ghost of Edward appears to Bella; The Ghost of Cedric appears to Harry.

And obviously, just like all the ladies love Edward, they love Cedric. Myrtle calls him, "The other boy....The handsome one." Even Harry's lady Cho can't resist Cedric. She goes to the dance with him instead of Harry.

Cedric looking both youthful and vampirish.

Overall Impressions

Harry is NOT 14.

Recommendation

Buy this movie for Robert Pattinson, watch it again and again for Harry in the bubbles. (He's NOT 14!)

Seattle Twilight Trivia Disappoints

Last Tuesday night Team Deer, aka team Sparkle Penis, attended Mars Bar Trivia and dominated (in our own minds) the night. We came in third, or maybe fourth, though we answered every question correctly in the most important of the five categories: Twilight.

The eight questions were ridiculously easy. See if you agree:

What is Jacob's tribe?
What are Bella's parents' names? Extra point for her stepdad.
On whom does Jacob imprint?
Who changed Edward?
Where is Jasper when he is changed?
Which of Edward's siblings was originally intended to be his mate?
In what city in Italy does part of New Moon take place.
Name 2 of the 3 bad vampires who are after Bella in Twilight.

The douchey host was quick to inform us that he had to subcontract out the Twilight questions, and was even quicker to convey to us that he found the topic distasteful and he flatly refused to answer any questions about the questions. (As if we needed him to!) Sounds like someone has feelings about Edward that make him uncomfortable.


Anyway. It was pretty clear that everyone there was there for Edward. Ours was not the only team name referencing glitter and male body parts.

What We Do Know: Part 57

"Like always, as soon as I started thinking about Edward I was caught up in a dizzy spin of fantasies." -Bella

It makes you dizzy.
