Yeah, so this blog got named "Confessions of a Cullenary Curser" and I have yet to confess a damn thing.
So here it is:
I can't watch interviews with Rob. At all. Not even for one second. In fact I avoid them.
It wasn't always like this. By the time I saw Twilight it had been out for months - let's just say I was able to go and pre-order the DVD a few weeks later. So I missed all the media pimping out of the movie. Instead, I devoured every interview I could find of him on youtube. Multiple times. Rob on Ellen, Rob with Kristen and Stephenie Meyer, Rob with that Paramore chick and the Garden burger discussion. Hell, even Rob on Tyra and that interview where he talked about his favourite cereal. I couldn't get enough of him (not surprisingly).
I don't know what happened between Twilight and New Moon.
When the pimping out of New Moon happened, I was busy being all virginal. Just I played 'just the tip' with trailers and stills. For some reason though, I avoided the cast interviews. I don't know why - but it made sense at the time. I guess I decided that that was part of wearing the New Moon chastity belt.
And now? I can't watch them at all. There's all this press going on for Remember Me and I'm totally not avoiding trailers and still for that one. Yet I can't watch any of it! I tried to watch Jimmy Fallon and stopped after like 30 seconds.
See? He's having a good time. It looks like it's a fun interview. Why can't I watch it? (via ROBsessed)
So is it because I'm worried about being all second-hand embarrassed for him? I mean it is a possibility. This guy just said he was allergic to vagina. Then there's this story he told on 'The Hour'. Apparently it's his best story ever.
Thanks for coming out Rob. Mr CC looked at me after watching that video and said,
"You find that nutter attractive?" True story.
"You find that nutter attractive?" True story.
Am I worried that he's going to get embarrassed about something? Say something that will get the collective Fandom panties in a knot? I really don't know. Am I the only one like this? Seriously, is it just me? Does anyone know what to do about this aversion?
No, this isn't an option. Don't even think of it.

See, I don't have a problem watching Rob, per se. I really don't like to watch fans interact with him. They get all teary and emotional, and they make us all look like a collective bunch of lunatics. (Not that we aren't...)
I'm not sure why, but I just cringe every time I see the fan freak out. So I tend to avoid a lot of interviews too.
I am sorry to say I have no answers for you but it's ok. Who says we have to watch everything. But on that note, I do have to thank you for all the links - as I missed all the Twilight interviews but have seen most of the New Moon ones, now I can catch up :) - because I want to that is.
oh my god...im commenting from my phone, so please forgive any typos. yes...i also cringe now as i watch him in interviews, hoping he wont say sonething stupid and possibly live up to the ridiculously high pedestal we have placed him on. the only interview i watched on tv was fallon...the rest i catch on youtube if it is rumored to have info in it. i used to devour them before.. now not so much.
I'm with you CC, I don't watch interviews, and I don't even usually watch any fanmade vids now either. I agree about worrying what he'll come out with, I sit cringing for him, bless!
You're not alone. I actually feel grateful that I would have to make a conscious effort to watch his interviews. I saw only a couple of them, and I don't like the way he mumbles and fidgets, it's bloody making me nervous, and cringe like Stan says. Mostly, I just forget to go to youtube and look them. I would love to see the View though. :D
so glad I'm not the only one cringing. I have told my niece that he is one of those guys who shouldn't talk. Doesn't have to. Just has to sit and look beeeuuutiful!
I know what you mean. I have been watching the Remember Me interviews but I didn't watch any of the NM ones. He tells the same stories each time, and to be honest, he's kind of boring. I don't like to watch him in interviews. I think "the real Rob" has the potential to ruin "fantasy Rob". I fear I will discover that is is just a complete idiot. Kinda like Matthew McConaughey
@FGS - Oh the screaming kills me! I don't get it.
@Dangrdafne - You're welcome.
@Mrs.P - The pedestal must be part of it.
@Stan, Jelena, sharon - so it's stills for us only then gals?
@mmMoxie - *gasps* Kinda boring? Okay, you might be onto something there. Maybe.
I guess I'm in the minority cause I'm still pretty much mesmerized whenever Rob speaks (doesn't matter what he's saying) and find the awkwardness adorable. That said, I don't watch very many video clips cause it's hard to find a time when there isn't somebody lurking over my shoulder ready to make me feel like a freak. WTF was with that Best Story Ever thing? He was kidding, right? (please say yes).
holy CRAP that video!! ok i need to go watch that again... wtf?
@STY - WTF is right!
