Rob on The Set Of Water For Elephants.

The story is told as a series of memories by Jacob Jankowski, a ninety-three year-old man who lives in a nursing home.

As the memories begin, Jacob Jankowski is twenty-three years old and preparing for his final exams as a Cornell University veterinary student when he receives the news that his parents were killed in a car accident. Jacob’s father was a veterinarian and Jacob had planned to join his practice. When Jacob learns that his father was deeply in debt because he had been treating animals for free as well as mortgaging the family home to provide Jacob an Ivy League education, he has a breakdown and leaves school just short of graduation. In the dark of night, he jumps on a train only to learn it is a circus train. When the owner of the circus, Uncle Al, learns of his training as a vet, he is hired to care for the circus animals. This consequently leads Jacob to share with a dwarf named Walter (who is known as Kinko to the circus) and his dog Queenie. A few weeks later Jacob is summoned to take a look at Camel; an old man who after drinking Jamaican ginger extract for many years can't move his arms or legs. Fearing Camel will be redlighted (thrown off the train while moving) Jacob hides him in his and Walter's room.

The head trainer, August, is a brutal man who abuses the animals in his care (such as the new elephant Rosie) as well as the people around him. Alternately, he can be utterly charming. Jacob develops a guarded relationship with August and his wife, Marlena, with whom Jacob falls in love. August is suspicious of their relationship and beats Marlena and Jacob. Marlena subsequently leaves August and stays at a hotel while she's not performing. Uncle Al then informs Jacob that August is a paranoidschizophrenic and then gives him a threat: reunite August and Marlena as a happily married couple or Walter and Camel get redlighted.

A few days later after discovering that August has tried to see Marlena, Jacob visits her in her hotel room. Soon after comforting her however, Jacob and Marlena sleep together and then eventually declare their love for each other. Marlena soon returns to the circus to perform (and also to have secret meetings with Jacob), but refuses to have August near her, which makes Uncle Al extremeley mad. Days later Marlena informs Jacob that she is pregnant.

One night Jacob climbs up and jumps each car while the train's moving to August's room, carrying a knife between his teeth. Intending to kill August, Jacob backs out and returns to his car, only to find no one there but Queenie. He then realises that Walter and Camel were redlighted and Jacob himself was supposed to be too.

As the story climaxes, several circus workers who were redlighted off the train come back and release the animals causing a stampede during the performance. (Redlighting refers to throwing circus workers off the moving train as punishment or in order to avoid paying them^[2]). In the ensuing panic, August is killed by Rosie. As a result of this incident, which occurred during a circus performance, the circus is shut down. Soon after, Uncle Al's body is found with a makeshift garrote around his neck. Marlena and Jacob leave, along with several circus animals (Rosie, Queenie and others), and begin their life together.

Ninety-three year old Jacob is waiting for his family to take him to the circus. It is uncovered Jacob and Marlena married and had 5 children spending the first 7 years at another circus before Jacob gets a job as a vet for the zoo. After finding out no one is coming for him, elderly Jacob goes to the circus on his own. He soon meets the manager Charlie and begs him to accompany the circus by selling tickets. Charlie agrees and Jacob believes he has finally come home.

Characters

• Jacob Jankowski – The novel’s protagonist. He is a "ninety or ninety-three"-year-old nursing home resident reminiscing on the time he spent as a circus veterinarian during the Great Depression.
• Marlena – in the film A star performer with the circus. Marlena joined the circus after she ran away from home to marry August. She enjoys a special rapport with the horses and cares for them deeply.
• August – Marlena’s husband and the head animal trainer. He is alternately charming and brutal, both to the humans and animals aboard the Benzini Brothers train. Later in the book, it is explained that he is aparanoid schizophrenic.
• Uncle Al – The violent, abusive owner of the circus. He is known for redlighting circus workers – having them thrown off the moving circus train in the middle of the night to avoid paying them. If these roustabouts are deemed to have committed some particularly egregious offense, they were thrown off while the train was passing over a trestle, presumably with the hope that they would die or be seriously injured.
• Kinko/Walter – A dwarf with whom Jacob shares living quarters on the circus train. Initially, theirlohe jumps the train. Camel is a drunk who is instrumental in getting Jacob a job with the circus. When Camel gets sick from drinking contaminated Jamaican ginger, Jacob and Walter hide him in their train car and care for him.
• Rosie – An elephant that Uncle Al buys from another circus. She is believed to be useless until it is discovered that she understands commands only in Polish. She is often the target of August’s rage.
• Rosemary – A nurse in the nursing home where Jacob lives who is especially kind to Jacob.

Gil Visit's La Push

Eclipse's Gil Birmingham (aka Billy Black, Jacob’s dad) recently was invited to attend the Quileute Days Parade in LaPush! Now that's awesome! 

This is a great article on just what it is that is attractive about BOTH movie and book Edward and Jacob.

“The lesson for men of Edward is not how to seduce a woman, but how to get her to want to seduce you (homework to follow). While Jacob tempts Bella with a love that’s “as easy as breathing,” Edward takes her breath away because she loves him more than air, and every kiss and touch leaves her gasping for more. He’s constantly adoring her with contact; taking her face in his hands, brushing his fingers across her cheek, securing a protective arm around her waist, sliding his lips along her jaw.

Instead of exploring their anatomy, they explore the anatomy of a kiss. It’s first base to the umpteenth power, with true love multiplying their every liplock exponentially. The effect on Bella is beyond arousal. Her heart hammers, her skin flushes, her blood, which Edward craves, races in her veins. It’s no wonder romance novels are often referred to as “pornography for women.” Neither one is realistic.

The most sensuous scene in the book, omitted from the film, comes when Edward, returning in the night, awakens Bella, and demonstrates to her the benefits of his newly acquired big bed. Their reunion is comfortably sexy; a couple completely at home in each other, their conversation and every caress infused with a deep affection. You can almost hear the soft words and rhythmic breathing in the dark. But in a gender role reversal it is Edward who will stop Bella before they get “carried away.” “Must I always be the responsible one?” he’ll sigh. (Do vampires take cold showers?) It’s every junior high school girl’s dream: the beautiful, adoring boy who’ll take them anywhere except too far.”

It's an appealing escape in a culture that bombards them with images of tween starlets packaged like hookers to sell music and magazines, encouraging them to see their bodies as sexual before their minds are ready. As the pressure extends into adulthood, the message becomes more dangerous. (You never see cop shows about serial killers where the dead victims are all naked men.) In a world where real horror stories mar the nightly news, reporting women and children as prey, the idea of Edward's a relief. He's a natural predator turned mysterious protector who loves Bella so much, just being with her is enough.

"Tell me what you're thinking, please?" is a sexy line to a segment of society who, often judged by their looks, just want to be heard, but it isn't his only one. Edward's unabashedly romantic declarations ("You are my world now...the only one who has touched my heart...") roll off the tongue like foreplay, stimulating Bella to do more than just talk.

"Would you please stop trying to take your clothes off?" Now there's a line I've never heard in my entire post-pubescent life (and with any luck, I never will), but it's the ironically frustrated plea of Edward. They've come a long way since their first kiss as evidenced by Bella's perplexed retort, "Did you want to do that part?" (Of course he should do that part, otherwise what's the point of having him there?) But Edward has reasons for restraint. He's concerned for Bella's premarital immortal soul and her breakable mortal body. It's a big problem. With skin like marble, he could give new meaning to the term "Twi-hard," a fear perhaps shared by virginal viewers. But even without the bloodlust, can a vampire ever really have safe sex?

Gil Birmingham to Be Honored at La Push Quileute Days Festival

Gil Birmingham will be honored at the annual Quileute Days Festival in La Push. You can see the entire schedule of events here. The event is open to the public and admission is free.According to the press release: “In honor of actor Gil Birmingham’s portrayal of tribal chairman Billy Black and his telling of the legends of the Quileute tribe in the block-buster film Twilight Saga Eclipse, the Quileute Nation has invited him to participate in Quileute Days, Saturday, July 16 at the Akalat Center Grounds. Quileute Days will run Friday through Sunday and will include traditional tribal games, softball games, a parade, vendors and more. The annual event is free to the public.

“We are delighted to welcome Gil to La Push and Quileute Days,” tribal spokeswoman Jackie Jacobs said. “It is an honor to have him join us in this very special celebration of Quileute culture and traditions. How wonderful to have Gil Birmingham, who portrays Council Chairman Billy Black in ‘Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ meet the true Chairwoman Anna Rose Councell-Geyer and the other members of the Quileute Tribal Council.”

On Saturday, Birmingham will join in the festival parade at noon, hold a 3 p.m. autograph session — a $20 contribution is required — and will make a 4 p.m. guest appearance at the Talent Showcase.

“I am truly honored to be invited to the Quileute Nation this weekend as they celebrate their culture and traditions,” said Gil Birmingham (Comanche) from his home in Los Angeles, CA. “In the three Twilight Saga films, I attempted to portray Billy Black and Quileute tribal members with honor and respect. The entire premise of the Twilight books and movies is based on Quileute tribal legends which are deeply rooted in the ancient cultural traditions. It was important to me that the legends, as well as an honest portrayal of modern day Native Americans, come through in the film Eclipse.”

The theme of Quileute Days this year is “History through Our Traditions,” focusing on education about the authentic Quileute history, legends and culture. Stick games — a traditional betting game — will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Also, there will be a Jacob Black and Bella Swan look-alike contest.”Also the Quileuete Nation just redesigned their website, and it’s stunning! Check out their website here.Don’t forget that the Quileuete Nation has a store with all proceeds benefiting the tribe. If you want authentic Quileute goods, get them right from the source!

Michael Welch Spends a Week With the USO

The USO is a special organization. It provides, among other things, entertainment for our troops and their families. Anyone who is in the military can tell you that money is tight; servicemen do not make tremendous salaries. So, to have a Hollywood star come and entertain is quite the treat, especially when you are a continent away from home!

In talking about his visit, Michael Welch said “Traveling with the USO and meeting military families has been a new experience for me, and one that I will never forget. Hearing firsthand what it’s like to have a loved one deployed is humbling and it makes me realize how much military families sacrifice, and how grateful I am for their service.”

One of our favorite stories of all time, is when Peter Facinelli signed Twilight DVD’s at Fort Lewis and missed his plane because he refused to leave until every military family who wanted to see him had that chance.

Kudos to both Mike and Peter!

The 10 best screen vampires Mark Kermode picks film and TV's most enduring bloodsuckers

GO TEAM EDWARD :)) WHOOOOO

Our most Loved VaMpire made it onto his list .....

Max Schreck, Nosferatu (1922)

An unacknowledged adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula (which was banned in Britain after copyright complaints from the author's litigious widow), FW Murnau's silent gem still startles and amazes; the sight of the vampire's shadowy hand grasping at the heart of his victim ranks among cinema's most enduring images. So convincing was Max Schreck's unearthly performance that the modern movie Shadow of the Vampirewould playfully suggest that he was the real deal; a genuine vampire hiding his identity in plain sight beneath the cover of movie magic.

Federico Luppi, Cronos (1993)

Debunking that most enduring vampire cliche, Guillermo del Toro's chilling masterpiece manages utterly to desexualise its antihero's bloodlust with extraordinary results. Having availed himself of the weirdly mechanical "Cronos" device, Federico Luppi's Jesus Gris staves off death with the occasional snifter of spilled claret. A scene in which he licks fresh blood off the polished white floor of a public lavatory is a taboo-breaking highlight that lingers in the mind. Luppi would later perform an affectionate cameo as King of the Underworld in Del Toro'sPan's Labyrinth.

Bela Lugosi, Dracula (1931)

Having made the role his own on Broadway, charismatic Hungarian Bela Lugosi became the defining screen count for the early sound era. A Spanish language version, shot by night on the same sets, is widely regarded to be a better-directed movie, but leading man Carlos Villarías was no substitute for the master, in any language. In the ensuing years, Lugosi would experience both fame and obscurity, famously ending his days working for trash maestro Ed Wood. In 1979, goth rockers Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" reaffirmed his cult status. Undead, undead, undead indeed!

Lina Leandersson, Let the Right One in (2008)

"I've been 12 for a long time…" Tomas Alfredson's brilliant adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel (which takes its name from a Morrissey lyric) was one of the most unexpected movie treats of the decade – an exhilarating, heartbreaking tale of adolescent angst in which, according to the director, the vampirism was a metaphor for repressed youthful rage. Lina Leandersson is extraordinary as the enigmatic Eli who comes to bullied Oskar's aid, smiting his tormentors and offering true friendship in a world of everyday suburban horror.

Lance Henriksen, Near Dark (1987)

Long before becoming the first woman to win a best director Oscar, Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow was making a name for herself as a fearsomely talented purveyor of upmarket genre-movie thrills. Her latterday "horror western" Near Dark (which never actually uses the "V" word) reunited Lance Henriksen with Aliens co-stars Bill Paxton and Jenette Goldstein to form a nuclear vampire family who travel America in search of blood. Made in the same year as The Lost Boys, which this cult favourite could eat for breakfast.

Ingrid Pitt, The Vampire Lovers (1970)

Polish-born actress Ingrid Pitt survived three years in a concentration camp as a child before becoming one of horror cinema's most celebrated leading ladies. Key films include Countess Dracula (in which she bathed in rejuvenating blood) and The Wicker Man – now dubbed "the Citizen Kane of British horror movies". In Roy Ward Baker's The Vampire Lovers, Pitt went head to head with Peter Cushing in a then-shocking adaptation of Le Fanu's 1872 novella Carmilla. According to legend, Pitt's vampire teeth kept falling out as she attempted to drink from Kate O'Mara's neck!

John Amplas, Martin (1977)

Taglined "A Vampire for Our Age of Disbelief", George A Romero's weirdie boasted John Amplas as the blood-sucking boy next door who may be nothing more than a twisted youth with severe behavioural problems. All we know for sure is that Martin thinks he's a vampire and he drinks blood to prove it. Swapping glamorous fantasy for downbeat (and often extremely grim) realism, Martin won widespread applause among fans, critics and even musicians, most notably Soft Cell's Marc Almond, who sang: "Martin is a boy with problems… he's seen too many creepy films, he's read too many books."

Gary Oldman, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

The tall, dark and gruesome Christopher Lee may be Britain's best-loved count, but Gary Oldman went deeper into the character in Francis Ford Coppola's operatic adaptation. Blessed with a backstory that directly invokes Vlad the Impaler, Oldman plays Dracula as a love-lorn mortal who declares war on God, thereby achieving damned immortality. Sporting assortment of hairpieces and subtle facial appliances, Oldman shape-shifts throughout the movie, breathing vibrant new life into a mordantly familiar icon. Along with his oddly moving turn in Sid and Nancy, this remains Oldman's finest screen role.

Catherine Deneuve, The Hunger (1983)

Presenting moodily backlit vampirism for the MTV generation, Tony Scott's slickly vacuous hit is packed with modish pop-culture nods, ghastly 80s couture, funky Egyptian pendants (replacing the so-last-year traditional fangs) and endless photogenic smoking. David Bowie was the nominal star, but Catherine Deneuve dominated as the seductive immortal who kept her undead male lovers in dusty coffins while fondling Susan Sarandon in a now celebrated naff naughty bit. Critically ridiculed on its release, The Hunger proved an enduring video hit which spawned a spin-off TV series.

Robert Pattinson, The Twilight Saga (2008-)

hard to credit, perhaps, but Stephenie Meyer's blockbusting gothic romances have made R-Patz the most successful screen vampire of all time, outselling previous title holders Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the Anne Rice adaptation Interview With the Vampire. Hardened horror aficionados may balk, but hordes of Twi-hard fans have swooned to Edward Cullen's otherworldly charms, marvelling at the way his skin glitters in the sunlight, and dreaming of dying (and being reborn) in his sensitively pallid arms. Chastity never seemed so attractive.

well done rob!!
