Some Kind of Wonderful Twilight

Picture Source

How long ago was it that Taylor Swift's song "You Belong with Me" was on the radio like every 2 hours? I don't know, it's all been a blur since Twilight entered my life but if you are like me and listen to pop music then you'll remember just how often the radio stations felt the need to play this song.

The regressing fangirl in me loves this song, so does my three-year-old. So we had about a month of excitement and yelling within my household whenever this song came on the radio, which led to freeform dancing and then choreographed moves as we sang along to the lyrics. Admit it, you sing along to it too!

Before Twilight came along, I had this special power to relate most anything things to the 80s, as I was a very impressionable child. Mr. ATP has a very special nickname for it which I'm not going to share. So the first time I had all the words down to this song I thought, "Wow, this song perfectly describes the storyline of Some Kind of Wonderful!" By the way, this was not one of my favorite of teenager movies when I was younger. I rediscovered this movie in my twenties. At that point I fell in love with it and was much more appreciative of it then.

So where did TT go for validation of such thoughts before she had any bloggy buddies (who I suspect would totally back me up in this little connection I've made)?? Why YouTube of course. And look what I had found!

Made by pixiehollow103 (You rock!) Totally fitting like a diamond stud earring, right?

Yep, VALIDATION for TT!!!

PreTwilight I would have been satisfied in this finding and gone about with my life, sharing it only with Mr. ATP (he loves Some Kind of Wonderful he's always had a thing for little punk rocker chicks that play drums). 

But it seems my special power to link things to the 80s has just been upgraded (like when Piper's freezing power on Charmed grew to being able to blow sh*t up with her hands) because the final word is not the 80s anymore...it's Twilight.

Okay ready to take this trip? As I'm watching the video above I watch the scene @1:33 where Keith (Stolz never looked hotter!) is sitting at the table in the club talking to Watts and he's looking like he's full of confusion. He wants to say the right thing to her but he's not sure what that is. It's a pretty honest, teenage angsty moment OH MY ROB it's just like Edward in the restaurant scene in Twilight!!!!!

Moving on....

Take a look at the video @1:55 HOLY SOME KIND OF TWILIGHT. Awkward, uncomfortable position in bed with Keith having his hand tucked behind his head...This remind anyone else of anything? Here's a hint, "I can never lose control with you."

That's Some kind of Wonderful first kiss in the garage in this movie is it not? Not as hot as the Twilight bedroom kiss, but the same innocence mixed with tension wouldn't you agree? Both end with someone yanking themselves away.

And because sometimes I can't help but let my favorite 90s stuff sneak in I thought of Brenda/Dylan/Kelly in on my BH, 90210 in reaction to "You, Belong with Me" and wouldn't you know I found this! It is a video made up of super feel-good moments between Brenda and Dylan and the scenes were selected to match the lyrics perfectly. (Enjoy DangrDafne!)  

ktproduction58 did a great job of matching up scenes from BH, 90210 to the lyrics! Love that! Ohhhhh Dylan, never looked so freakin' adorable!

Still following my train of tHAWT?

If Twilight had been filmed in the 80s, could Stolz could have totally pulled off Edward?

 He does have some similarities to Rob...

-Mophead of hair

-Big blue eyes

-Cleft chin

-Strong jaw line

-Tall

-Looks good in t-shirts and plaid

-Hawt!

Did you hear Rob say on Oprah last week that he grew up liking American Movies? Do you think he was a fan of Some Kind of Wonderful? Did he study Stolz's portrayal of Keith? Now see Oprah and Ellen these are questions the fans want to know. Guess what? We already know he is in People Magazine, how about a discussion about John Hughes movies. I could sleep better at night knowing Rob shares the John Hughes movie experience, maybe he doesn't get all gooey and gushy over them like I do, but they are universal in their appeal are they not?. Just like Twilight there are lines and scenes in all the John Hughes movies that are part of the fabric of our shared experience.

Psssst....Rob, wanna be friends with potential with me?

here's a parting kiss...

Happy Birthday B! Go see her stuff and you can die happy.

Most likely, don't hold me to anything, but if I can swing it, my next post will be the much anticipated next installment of a Fanfiction review and interview. And this time will be, of course, with Honolulu Girl of TrueBloodTwilight and her story, "Cinderella, A Tale of Lust." It's going to be a very uncensored interview. That girl curses like a Starbucks employee whose been told he didn't put enough chai in my chai tea latte!
