The man’s obsession with Edward’s sculpted eyebrows really is quite entertaining.
Self-deprecating humor, check.
“…I was just kinda cold.”
“What was impressive?”
“That falling over thing,” he says.
it’s possible for you to hear her rolling her eyes.
“That’s tough…. Do you just fall on your ass?”
“Yeah, I just basically fell down.”
(This was funny, because he was actually trying to be serious, I think.
It won’t happen again.)
“It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen in your entire life.”
He says he performed it with a guy, who did a woman’s voice.
It’s all very earnest.
“Dude, I’m glad you didn’t send that, right?”
Hardwicke asks, sounding genuinely concerned that if he had, he wouldn’t have gotten the role.
(That’s why he didn’t send it.)
[Laughs]
Hardwicke: Rob!
We had to pluck the heck out of your eyebrows.
Pattinson: S hurt.
“Those of us that are physics majors get it,” Hardwicke says.
22:18Carlisle’s entrance, swinging through the hospital doors.
Pattinson compares it to a J.
Then realizes he means Beyonce.
“Peter [Facinelli] would be so good at doing that.
I want him to do the Beyonce biopic.”
I have no idea what he’s talking about, but I like it when he stumps Hardwicke.
“The moral of this scene is never trust a guy who plucks his eyebrows.
You know, there’s always something up.
26:30Mike asks Bella to the prom.
Hardwicke: [A little too steamily?]
Pattinson: I look haggard.
Might as well recast.
[Laughs]
Hardwicke: Yeah.
I’m sure we can do better now.
[Laughs]
Pattinson: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Yeah, it made money now.
“Where’s Efron?”
[Laughs]
Hardwicke: Now we can attract somebody good.
[Laughs]
27:50Edward walks away from Bella in the greenhouse.
Pattinson: “I have so many inexplicable facial expressions in this movie.”
28:35Edward follows Bella to the bus after the greenhouse visit.
Pattinson: See, that’s when I had pecs.
Hardwicke: Yeah, baby.
Pattinson: I had pecs about two days.
Hardwicke: Yeah, you’re lookin' good here.
Pattinson: I bet you that everyone would hate me.
Nobody hangs out with you.
Pattinson: It’s true.
It’s like he’s always looking in the mirror all the time.
[Then, it sounds like he says something about Edward’s highlights.]
29:50Cullens in the cafeteria.
“In this scene, I’m talking about how much I don’t like cookies….
I’m sayin', ‘Listen, guys.
Have you read the book?
We’re not supposed to be eating.'”
30:34Pattinson admits that he tells people the shot of him kicking up the apple is real.
“Well basically, you gotta get the right angle.
You gotta get it right on the instep.”
(They used a string, and it took him many, many takes.)
bounce it off of two knees and an ankle andthencatch it.
“People would be in hysterics if they saw that,” he says.
“It’s like,wow, he’s a superhuman moron….
So he wears lipstick, has a little bouffant, and does little circus acts as well.
Oh, he’s so se[xy].”
36:14Bella Googles “Quileute Legends.”
Hardwicke points out that one of the book results isLegends of the Slappy Beaver.
[Laughter]
Hardwicke: Can you saykill?
That was the one that was in Port Angeles, dude.
The other ones are, like, too far away.
37:17The girls plan their trip to Port Angeles to look for prom dresses, while sunning themselves.
“Girls, you know it’s all just a game to them, relationships,” Pattinson says.
“Just go around stomping on everyone….
I mean, look at this poor guy in the background with his collar up.
You know he’s just gonna get ruined by women.”
38:39A shot looking up at Bella outside the bookstore.
“See, is that supposed to be me looking at her there?”
Hardwicke’s answer: “It’s supposed to be, uh, maybe it would be you.
What do you think?…
Oh no, I don’t think it is.
I think it’s just supposed to throw you off.
Make you scared.”
I would have expected the know the answer to that question.
39:35:Edwards pulls up to save Bella from the bad humans (pictured).
Pattinson: [In prissy voice] “Now listen, guuuyyysss!”
Pattinson: “Come on guys.
Let’s all, come on, let’s be simple about this.”
Hardwicke: I like the way the car roars in.
Obviously, that wasn’t your driving, or those people would all be dead.
40:10Edward speeds off with Bella in the car.
Only not so much, if you look out the window.
“I love that, how I’m driving 2 miles an hour,” Pattinson says.
“‘Slow down!’
‘I can’t go any slower!'”
40:35:They show up at the restaurant.
“My whole head is like I’ve had a face lift.”
(“A bad one,” Hardwicke jokes.)
“How were you trying to besexy, Rob?”
“I really don’t know in fact.
The more I look at it, I had no idea what I was thinking.”
Pattinson: I wonder if vampire’s eyebrows can grow back.
Pattinson: Maybe they can make that part of my distraught thing in the second one.
Hardwicke: Where you stop plucking?
43:08Edward tells Bella about his ability to read everyone’s mind but hers.
Pattinson says this is normally the point where he can no longer handle watching himself in the film.
He flashes back to his double, Logan.
“That was the other thing about that car scene.
I’m like,Great.”
Hardwicke doesn’t help.
“He did do a good job, I gotta say.”
Pattinson goes to his fallback: “Doesn’t have eyebrows like mine…sculpted.”
Stewart gets in a nice zinger: “Or the bouffant.
The bouffant is much weaker than yours.”
45:30Edward drives Bella home and stops at the police station.
This was filmed on the last night.
Pattinson says he was watching a movie in his trailer that day and started crying.
Stewart says she cries all the time, any time she experiences a heightened emotion.
Pattinson jokes that he isn’t friends with someone if they cry around him.
Hardwicke points out that he said he just cried.
“Yeah, but I was crying over something very legitimate.
A movie,” he cracks.
48:50Bella figures out what Edward really is, and sees him in the schoolyard before heading into the woods.
“This is a good look.I’m gonna mess him up,” Pattinson praises Stewart.
“And I’m just like,I don’t know what’s going on?
Where am I?I just walked out of a flower bed in this scene as well….
I was standing in the flower bed and then walked out it and then stopped and looked confused….
If I didn’t have contact lenses on, that was a really spectacular look I just did….
I should have hadmillionthoughts, like Hamlet.”
52:21Edward reveals his sparkling upper-body.
“I thought I was supposed to have a fake six-pack in this scene,” he says.
He notes that Edward got dressedreallyquick.
(So did I.)
55:08"I’ve got such effeminate hands.
Your hands are awesome, dude,” Hardwicke says.
He explains that he used to play goalie in soccer.
They’re good for playing guitar and piano, Hardwicke says to console him.
Hardwicke jokingly asks if it was a teacher.
“My father,” Pattinson quips.
“No, no.”
(It was a friend, with a strap on his bag or something.)
1:00:00Flashback of Carlisle turning Esme.
Pattinson: Wow, that was much sexier than my one.
Hardwicke: Yeah, well Esme knows how to deliver, honey.
Pattinson: I know.
That’s my problem.
Can’t follow through.
Hardwicke: So we’ve heard.
(The first time, Pattinson played his own composition.
He won’t bite.
There are boys tossing a basketball outside the diner.
“I never understood people who liked throwing balls around,” he says.
I LOVE IT WHEN HE STUMPS HARDWICKE.
1:14:18Finally, the kissing scene.
It certainly works on 33-year-olds.
Or so I have, um, heard.
And so, like, it was odd.
I don’t know, sometimes I feel like my head is being, like, turned inside out.
Like that episode ofRen & Stimpywhen he’s inside his own belly button.
[Stewart laughs] I don’t know.
He really shouldn’t watch himself onscreen.
(I, however, have no problem.
I may have just rewound.
The awkward rambling is endearing.
1:22:40The baseball scene (pictured).
Edward crouches and defends Bella from James.
“Oh jeez, that’s a tough facial expression to pull off,” Pattinson says.
(I love that he knows he didn’t.)
He says he growled, but it was cut.
“Don’t put it in the DVD….
If it is, I’ll sue,” he threatens.
Stewart recreates it, and (unintentionally?)
sounds like a cat coughing up a fur ball.
Hardwicke says they tried so many different growls, but ended up toning down the growls for everyone.
Especially with sculpted eyebrows.
Pattinson: I’m really scary in reality.
Hardwicke: Yeah, we know that.
Pattinson: Most of the time.
Discussion ensues, but he just cannot grasp it.
Hardwicke: “It’s not for you to understand, Edward.”
Pattinson: “You’re just a puppet.”
Hardwicke: “Just say the lines.”
Pattinson: “Just say the lines, and shut up.”
Hardwicke: “Just look pretty.”
1:35:45Bella is on her way to the ballet studio.
Pattinson praises a part of the bookthat wasn’t in the book.
It was in an early draft of the script.
A shot of Jasper looking longingly at Edward.
Stewart asks, “Why is he looking at you like that?”
Pattinson responds, “Back story….
It was a little different thread, which wasn’t followed through.”
And fan-fic writers go wild!
Is the commentary your favorite of the DVD extras?
What’s your favorite Pattinson moment?
