Robert Pattinson

i just can't really get into the series. i don't think its a healthy story and writing is mediocre. Rob Pattinson is pretty though.

No argument.

 

I think SM should be in therapy for the way she gives Jake his "happy ending."

There was definitely a lot creepy about the series. I read some of the developments on wiki since I wasnt interested enough to read the whole series. but what I did read... I mean if this is her perfect relationship, meyers certainly has issues, not to say the emotional development of a 15 year old. She glorifies obsessive love, female helplessness, the notion of physical beauty is what matters (not only is edward "perfect" but even bella who sees HERSELF as unattractive clearly is compelling to men- she has no fewer than 5 men in love with her at first site.) She always needs protecting, even from herself. Edward sits her in his lap like she's a little girl. Watches her when she sleeps without her knowing for fecks sake! and she finds this charming. He's moody, selfish and obsessed. Both of them prefer suicide to being without each other and this is considered romantic in the story. She's with him for all of 3 weeks before she want's to be turned into a vampire and to give up everyone else in her life. And again, this is considered "perfect" to meyer, not anything less. Jake nearly rapes her (certainly molests her) and she's merely annoyed with her "best friend". Edward seems to have zilch personality but we do know he's beautiful and "perfect". Yeah and then there's the wolf "imprinting" with babies. Which, we are assured, is perfectly innocent. The whole thing is just not something a healthy adult would write and admit was her fantasy.

I will say this, Pattinson has sort of signaled he doesnt think much of the character or books (without coming right out to say it and thus bite the hand that feeds him -if you'll forgive the metaphore) which does make me like him more.

I think his unusual looks fit the role really well. The only problem I have watching the movies is I can't understand what the guys see in the lead actress. She's so so . . . . . blah.

at least she's not a twinky. I suppose that's part of the appeal, that a beautiful man would like someone like her rather than some typical teen twinky. having said that, unhealthy story.

:4biggrin: I read the first book because I was curious about the popularity and I used to love Anne Rice vampire books. I found it creepy how Edward was always watching Bella and stalking her. There was nothing romantic about their relationship and I found it troubling that young girls were reading this.

totally agree. its not subtle. And in the book this is represented as utterly romantic that he Loves Her That Much. I mean think about it. you've got a chrush and one day you find out he's been coming into your house and room at night to watch you unawares? Its just one example of a whole tone to the story that indicates something verrrrry stunted on behalf of the author who has claimed this is her perfect guy.

It's creepy but the author is laughing all the way to the bank. This franchise is huge.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE True Blood on HBO, but in no way is it marketed, nor good for, the tween audience that Twilight caters to.

Single Star Robert Pattinson

 

Robert Pattinson insists he is single.

 

The 'Twilight Saga: New Moon' actor - who stars as vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie franchise - quashed the constant speculation romantically linking him to co-star Kristen Stewart, insisting he is too boring to be the subject of true stories.

 

He said: "I am single - almost everything that comes out about my private life is false.

 

"I think it happens because, really, there is not much to say about what I'm doing. While I am filming, I live practically like a recluse in a hotel.

 

"I come out only to work, and sometimes to go out for dinner. But, if you read the magazines, it seems that I have a frantic high life."

 

The 23-year-old British star recently said he was lucky-in-love because he always gets dumped.

 

Speaking of his vampire character Edward, he said: " He doesn't know what to do. It's this typically male attitude when you find somebody you're in love with and your own doubts just keep messing up again and again. And then you realise as soon as you've messed up, you only have a few chances!

 

"I'm like that every time! I'll do that with every relationship I ever have. As soon as I like them I start beating myself up to a point of ridiculousness and then they hate me to the point of dumping me."

Robert Pattinson to replace Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 4?

 

British actor Robert Pattinson is set to swing into action to replace Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 4, according to a U.K. report.

 

The "Twilight" hunk is reportedly the top choice with Columbia executives to star in the film, after Maguire pulled out last week over a reported script issue.

 

Daily Variety claimed movie bosses are planning to make a prequel about Spider-Man's alter-ego, Peter Parker, as a teenager instead - and Pattinson is the hot favorite to land the role, reports Britain's Daily Mirror.

 

A source tells the publication, "The buzz in Hollywood is all about R-Patz as the hot, young thing being lined up to fill Tobey Maguire's shoes. It would be a hard act to follow as fans were traumatized at the news Tobey was going.

 

"His mild-mannered portrayal as Peter Parker and the transformation to Spider-Man kept millions of fans in the cinemas for the box-office smash. He also had great chemistry with Kirsten Dunst, who plays love interest Mary Jane."

 

But Pattinson faces tough competition for the coveted role - High School Musical star Zac Efron also has his eye on playing the web-slinger.

 

He says, "I don't know what the chances are to be honest. I assume they're pretty slim. It's a long-shot but if it came down to it, it'd be a dream come true. What young actor wouldn't?"

Hugh Grant: 'Robert Pattinson Is Sexy'

 

Hugh Grant has reportedly joked that he understands the "fascination" with Twilight star Robert Pattinson.

 

According to OK, the Did You Hear About The Morgans? star told its German publication that he thinks Pattinson is "sexy".

 

"I haven't watched the second part yet of Twilight yet, but I understand the fascination with Robert. I think he's really sexy!" he is quoted as saying.

 

He went on to discuss his new movie with Sarah Jessica Parker, joking: "I thought I looked pretty sexy with the Stetson hat. At least I was hoping I would. But after watching the film I have to admit I looked quite daft.

 

"But you have to know that I always tell the costume designers to make me look as attractive as possible."

 

Did You Hear About The Morgans? is in cinemas now.

Law Replaced By Pattinson As Hollywood Heart Throb

 

JUDE LAW is happy to surrender his status as a Hollywood heart-throb to ROBERT PATTINSON - insisting the young TWILIGHT actor has already taken his place.

 

Law, 37, is convinced he is now too old to be considered a pin-up, especially as so many young stars are breaking into the movie business and securing legions of loyal followers.

 

And the Brit is relieved he can finally shed his image as a Hollywood hunk - because he has always been uncomfortable with the title.

 

He tells Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, "If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight. Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction.

 

"My goal was always to be recognised as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.

 

"When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centres on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard."

Kristen Stewart Causes Stir In Courtroom?

 

Kristen Stewart may have inadvertently caused a courtroom security guard his job.

"For [the picture] having gone up ... because it is confidential when celebrities are in court."

Pattinson, Thurman Sex Scenes 'Disturbing'

 

Robert Pattinson has reportedly described his sex scenes with Uma Thurman in Bel Ami as "kind of disturbing".

 

The 23-year-old actor stars as a corrupt journalist who becomes romantically involved with Thurman's wealthy woman in the upcoming period drama, based on a 1885 novel.

 

Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: "The sex scenes with Uma are kind of disturbing. Her character kind of uses sex as a sort of weapon and my character thinks like an animal.

 

"There's a lot of sex scenes in this film, so I'm asking quite a lot of myself, and with lots of different people as well."

 

Bel Ami, which also stars Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas, is scheduled for release next year.

Robert Pattinson Bitten by Puppy Love

 

 

Robert Pattinson finally reveals the current love of his life – and it's not Kristen Stewart, or any other human for that matter.

 

"The only emotional connection of relevance is with my dog," he tells the March issue of Details magazine. "My relationship with my dog, it's ridiculous."

 

The article also features the results of a grueling photo shoot, in which the Twilight heartthrob had to endure the company of nude women.

 

"It was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours," Pattinson, 23, told the magazine. "But I wasn't exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hung over."

 

In an interview brimming with TMI – he goes on an R-rated riff about a woman's anatomy – Pattinson likens the photo shoot to pornography, only the more wholesome kind.

 

"This shoot, it's kind of eighties nakedness, you know? If you look at porn in, like, the eighties, there was something kind of quaint about it, quite sweet – like this little naked community," he said. "The people who made it liked it, they had respect for it. Not remotely like the porn that's available now. No community in it at all. It's just everything, everywhere."

Wax Man Robert Pattinson

 

The 'Twilight' actor is the latest star to be honoured with his own waxwork by famous museum Madame Tussauds and his figure will be unveiled in both the New York and London branches.

 

Artist Luke Fisher is keen to give the statues a true resemblance and has received a lot of help from other members of staff.

 

Madame Tussauds said: "They have been studying hundreds of photos and pouring through hours of video to ensure that they capture R-Pattz's trademark sultry expression and inimitable style."

 

 

Robert follows in the footsteps of a host of stars to have been immortalised in wax including Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Marilyn Monroe and David and Victoria Beckham.

 

 

The waxworks will give fans on both sides of the Atlantic a rare chance to get close to the heartthrob as he recently revealed he hides from his followers because he finds the attention hard to deal with.

 

He said: "You are trying to limit the amount of time you have to deal with it. I do a bit of hiding."

Robert Pattinson: ‘I’m Not Materialistic’

 

ROBERT Pattinson insists his life is clutter-free — because he can do without “most things”.

 

The hunky British actor — who’s rumored to be dating his Twilight costar Kristen Stewart — says he isn’t materialistic.

 

“I’m not one for comforts and stuff, I think I can kind of do without most things,” he said.

 

Rob, 23, also revealed he hasn’t really been splashing the cash since finding fame in the vampire movie franchise.

 

“I bought a really nice guitar recently, which is the only thing I’ve ever really spent a lot of money on,” he said. “But that’s the only thing.

 

“I had my apartment in London before when I was unemployed — this tiny little place and I liked it more.

 

“You had to walk through a restaurant kitchen and up this staircase filled with trash and there’s no heating. I like that.

 

“But now it’s quite difficult. I can’t live in places like that any more. The people outside, that’s the only issue.”

Zac Efron Amazed By Robert

 

The 'High School Musical' actor is a big admirer of the 'Twilight' hunk and is particularly impressed with the way the 23-year-old British star is handling his fame.

 

He said: "He's absolutely amazing. I think he's making great choices. I think he's handling it all really well, but you know, he's a superstar. He really deserves all this."

 

The 22-year-old actor arrived at the Academy Awards last night (07.03.10) without girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, but says she wants his support when she picks up the ShoWest Star of Tomorrow Award in Las Vegas later this month.

 

 

However, Zac is unsure whether he can trust himself in the city, which is famed as a gambling and partying haven.

 

 

He told US TV show 'Access Hollywood': "She's trying to get me to go to Vegas. I've not been to Vegas legal yet, since turning 21. I feel like I might get into trouble."

 

Zac was among a number of young presenters at the 82nd Academy Awards, with 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus and 'Twilight' actor Taylor Lautner also working on the night.

Robert Pattinson's Film Therapy

 

Robert Pattinson uses his films as therapy.

 

The 'Twilight' actor looks for roles that will help him with his life, which is why he was attracted to new movie 'Remember Me', in which he plays Tyler Hawkins a rebellious young man living in New York city and trying to cope with the suicide of his brother.

 

He said: "I try and pick roles that will help me develop as a human being and I think I was going through a similar kind of experience as my character Tyler, which I guess you could call being rebellious. I thought just doing the film would actually help me to think about and discover things that would help me in my life. I was kind of using it as atherapy exercise."

 

The 23-year-old heartthrob also admitted he is still grieving the death of his beloved dog Patty last year as he felt he had lost a family member.

 

He told Parade.com: "I keep talking about my dog all the time. It was an incredible dog, and I said in an interview recently he was the most important person in my life. My family went crazy with me for saying that. But, however ridiculous it may seem to some people, my relationship with my dog was a defining moment. Having the dog die was, literally, like the worst day of my life. It was like losing a family member."

Review: Pattinson still brooding in `Remember Me'

 

By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment Writer

 

 

 

In "Remember Me," Robert Pattinson has temporarily stepped away from "Twilight," apparently in search of his "Five Easy Pieces" or "Rebel Without a Cause."

 

When Pattinson's character — a wayward, rebellious 21-year-old named Tyler Hawkins — meets who will quickly become his love interest — a fellow NYU student named Ally (Emilie de Ravin) — he informs her that his major is "undecided."

 

"`Bout what?" she responds.

 

"Everything," he says.

 

As a character-defining quote, it's a long way from Marlon Brando's "Whaddya got?" in "The Wild One." Perhaps an earlier draft had him saying he's getting a "Ph.D. in misanthropy."

 

Pattinson may be on leave from the narcotic melodrama of "Twilight," but he's still in full-on brooding mode. The young actor has an unmistakable screen presence. However in "Remember Me," he pours it on thickly and self-consciously.

 

With low eyes, sleeves rolled up just so and cigarette drooping artfully from his mouth, Tyler (like Edward Cullen) is a reluctant romantic. He quotes Gandhi in voiceover, makes love to Sigur Ros and (understandably) can't be moved to laughter by "American Pie 2."

 

His deepness runneth over.

 

"Remember Me" begins ominously with the Twin Towers lurking in view behind an elevated subway in 1991 Brooklyn. A woman is senselessly murdered while her young daughter watches.

 

When the film shifts 10 years later, the girl is Ally, whom Tyler meets through a rather preposterous revenge plot directed at her father (Chris Cooper), a New York police officer who roughed Tyler up.

 

Their meeting is orchestrated by Tyler's roommate, Tate, played by Aiden Hall. But there will be no fan-created Team Tyler vs. Team Tate here. The roommate is an annoying chatterbox, whose comedic moments drag the film.

 

A sense of dread — hinted at by the movie's title and intoned by Marcelo Zarvos' score — is carried though the film, which is set in the summer of 2001. Sudden spurts of violence punctuate the story.

 

Long before the big reveal ending, one begins to feel "Remember Me" is romanticizing — even fetishizing — tragedy. There's a pretentious reveling in emotional scars and painful loss.

 

Tyler is the son of a high-powered attorney (Pierce Brosnan), an absent father to Tyler and his young sister, Caroline (Ruby Jerins). Some time earlier, Tyler's older brother committed suicide — the hurtful event that has given Tyler much of his grimness.

 

Heaviness weighs on Ally and her father, too. Cooper is typecast as an uptight, overbearing father, but he's predictably solid.

 

Brosnan is the highlight of the film, again proving — as he did in Roman Polanski's recent "The Ghost Writer" — his character actor chops. Tucked stoically behind a suit, he ably sports a Brooklyn accent in believable, confrontational scenes with Pattinson.

 

Director Allen Coulter shows the same skill in creating atmosphere as he did in "Hollywoodland," but the script by Will Fetters (his first) is uneven.

 

The most pleasing thing about "Remember Me" is its boldness. It may be affected, but "Remember Me" is at least aiming for an intriguing character study — a positive sign in the young career of Pattinson (who is also an executive producer).

 

He may very well grow into a less showy actor. For now, Tyler's response to Ally when she tells him that she's 19 is the most telling.

 

"I can do teens," he says.

 

Yes, sir. You certainly can.

 

"Remember Me," a Summit Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 for violence, sexual content, language and smoking. Running time: 113 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Robert Pattinson: 'I Don't Think I'm Sexy'

 

 

Robert Pattinson has admitted that he doesn't think he is "sexy".

 

The Remember Me star insisted that his fans are only attracted to him because of the "illusion" surrounding him.

 

"I don't feel that I'm sexy at all," he told The Sun. "I don't feel connected to that kind of talk. People say it but I've never thought like that."

 

He continued: "It's funny, because even the girls that think like that, if you talk to one of them for five minutes the illusion is gone. But people still hold onto an illusion. It doesn't matter what you do, they're going to form these fantasies.

 

"I think people don't really know what they want and often it is an imaginary thing."

 

Pattinson recently confirmed that he is dating his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, although reports have suggested that he has refused to commit to the relationship.
