Sigh.. I am SO tired of the media insisting that Rob only a teen idol. Yes teens love him, but there are millions of fans that are older than teens.
Regardless, I am really excited for Rob's new role. I am excited for him to prove to all these narrow-minded naysayers that he is a DAMN GOOD ACTOR and not just a "teen" idol.

"Last year he appeared in Remember Me, a romantic drama set in New York that was poorly received by critics."

Every time I see that written, in whatever way, it brings a lump into my stomach as I feel Rob was robbed by the critics of what should have been a massive hit film. RM so did not get its due. While about 70% or so of the critics may have panned it, the rest and more than 70% of the public who saw it, loved it. I read several reviews who thought it was offensive, but I didn't see it as offensive at all. I saw it as symbolic and even as a tribute. I thought it was beautiful and beautifully acted. The performances all around were A+ and the story was poetic.

Critics' opinions are just that, and we all know everyone has one. Not going to see a movie just because a critic didn't like it is, IMO, just plain dumb, like lemmings walking off a cliff. I think if a movie's story, or the movie's stars, appeal to you, go see it. And blog your own opinion if you want.

Rob will get his due soon, probably in WFE. The non-Twi public will see. This new starring role is incredible. His performance will carry the whole thing being inside a limo. Wow. Go, Rob! I'm now looking forward to this Rob movie most of all.

teen pin up?! lol uh, yeah... im no teen! I dont think any of us really are!

@RockFan &@Calihi27, ITA w/U both, well said too, LOVE IT! Rob's totally gonna show 'em all what he's made of--GO ROB!! What a year it's gonna be for him & Kristen too!! Great WKND Guys!! tanx S!

Kathy said...

I resent them labeling Rob as a "teen pinup". Yeah, teenage girls may love him but so do us "older" people. I'm 43 and believe me, I think he's the most beautiful man I've EVER seen in my life. Call me a cradle robber or a cougar, I don't care. I'd tap on that if I had the chance. Just saying. I'm thrilled though that he's devoted to Kristen. They're perfect together.

@aimzers: Haha! Of course not! I'm an adult by the way :P

The shooting haven't started yet, but the news already spread. Speaking about teen, I have a Facebook friend who still in high school and she's disappointed she can't watch Bel Ami because she's under age *grins*

Yes, WFE probably will be the turning point for Rob's career. And those critics will finally see him as a true actor!

aimzers said...

I personally think more 'older' women like Rob and the teens are more drawn to Taylor (God help him) because of his age and sad to say it but his body. We all know teenage girls love a nice six pack and pretty smile.

I think young girls are more prone to appreciate an actor for his good looks than his actual acting ability. And I know for a fact that although all of us here find Rob absolutely gorgeous, we admire him for his acting abilities, great personality and kick ass girlfriend choice ;)

@RockFan can't agree with you more RM was given a raw deal by the critics mostly because they gave away the end of the movie. Only now it's a given that it was proclaimed one of the best missed movies of 2010!! Watch it when I need a good cry and still loven it.

Why my comments always dissapear? :( i love this robstenation blog enyway :) i love robsten <3

SW said...

@aimzers; I totally agree with you....I also believe there are a lot more teens out there fan girling for Taylor (but yes, of course, so many teens faint at just the thought of Rob, who doesn't, lol).
But I think the younger girls might be more in to Rob as Edward, and they are in love with Edward, but in real life they might prefer Taylor, because he has that easy-going smiling personality.
While Rob can be a little bit more complex in his real life personality. This might be more appreciated by a little bit older/mature audience.
As for me, I'm close to 30, and I would pick Rob over Taylor any day!! Can't say that a 6 pack is what makes me melt, I prefer Rob's witty and smart personlity (and yes, of course his face could move mountains! lol)

RockFan said...

@aimzers, you are so right! Gorgeous, great actor, great personality, and kick ass girlfriend is spot on! (And I'm way not a teen, though one of my grandkids is, and three of them, along with their mom, are Twilight movie fans.)

Hope everyone in RobStenation is having a great weekend! Always great to see everyone here. :-)

Grrr.. It makes me so upset to read articles like this.
Robert can act and I cannot wait for everyone to see that. I don’t think these directors/producers would put him in such a huge films if they did not see his potential.

RobStenation said...

@Suwi I didnt see any other comments coming from you, sorry.

Anonymous said...

He’s definitely going to be a great actor some day. It’s just jealousy why others can’t see it.

Suwi said...

maybe my computer not work :/ gotta get new :)

RobStenation said...

@ANon 7.30 Uhmm he is an excellent actor now.

twilightnan said...

Hi!everyone..it'snearly 13:00pm ,UK time..loving all the comments about Rob..especially..@SW.."of course his face could move mountains!lol!!..totally agree..and like @Kathy..ITA..I'm a grandmother and a lot older than Kathy and I've seen a lot of movie/tv actors but..ROB "is the most BEAUTIFUL I've EVER seen in my life"..I prefer Rob lean and natural body built,hates ott muscles and six packs..JMO!!

twilightnan said...

I'm back ,I got carried away..you know..when we start talking about his Holyhotness gorgeous face..I can't focus on anything else ,LOL!!and did not put down that I'm really excited about this new film 'COSMOPOLIS'..wow..Rob is going to portray a financial wizzard..I need to get this book ASAP!!..the future is Looking Even more Awesome/Brighter as it is now for our Lovebirds!!hugs to all the regulars and the rest of ROB and Kristen's fans!!@Malia..have a nice w/e as well!

Crystal said...

I'm in agreement with you all. Rob is not a "teen pin-up." He appeals to some teenage girls, I'm sure, but I'm pushing 40, and I think he is incredibly hot! He's also intelligent, sweet, and an incredible actor. He has a wonderful girlfriend with the same qualities, and who seems to really know how great he is. The idiots in the media who don't know all this will eventually find out. I think Water For Elephants is going to show them all.

Kathy said...

I also forgot to add earlier that Rob is NOT only the most beautiful man I've EVER seen but he's also an AWESOME actor who should've got more recognition for Remember Me. That was an EXCELLENT movie. Hopefully WFE will do better than RM did. He's just THE BEST all around.

Barbara said...

@Kathy and @Crystal i totally agree with you, i'm italian and in february i take 38 years.. i think Rob is a wonderful man, actor and boyfriend for kristen. They make me hope that true love exist i must ONLY find it...hugs to all of you...Barbara

Jane said...

Don't forget about us grandmothers who think Rob is the hottest man in the universe. Never, have I be as affected by an actor as I have with Rob. Let the critics say what they want about RM. The movie made $56 million dollars plus $10 million in DVD's and only cost $16M to make. I think that speaks for itself.

Anonymous said...

Hi, there! I'm 45 and I really love him! I think that the real problem is that there too many people who envy him. He's too handsome and not a stupid asshole. He is intelligent, he's trying different roles and is an amazing musician also. And the best: he tries hard to live not as a celebrity, but as a real person, and doens't like to be in the spotlight all the time. For these things, paps and celebrity mags don't like him. And those supid critics can't stand that someone can be handsome, intelligent and a good actor as well. So, as S. says, haters to the left!

Forgive my English! I speak Portuguese!

Hugs to everyone

I forgot to say: I have 2 daughters (one is 22 and the other is 20)and one grandaughter who is just 4 months old! I'm a teacher and one of my students gave me a glass with Rob's picture for Christmas. So, I'm not ashamed of that!

Does anyone know when they start shooting for this movie and when it ends?

RobStenation said...

@Anon 11.50 For one Rob's camp has not confirmed anything yet, though I think this is already in the bag. So if there's anything up, filming info whatever, you'll find it here. I usually do not withheld info. :) If you will scroll down to the first Cosmopolis post- Reuters mentioned production will probably start mid-May, possibly in Vancouver. ANd lots more updates there.

Dan said...

Some people will always focus on the negative, no matter what. Sarah thinks that Robert Pattinson is an excellent actor and I must agree. He and Kristen are very, very talented and because of their current twilight roles their skills get really underestimated by some groups of people. Good thing is, they just do not seem to care about all this baseless criticism. They sign up for roles they can really appreciate for themselves and not to please the mainstream.
A warm hello to twilightnan, mala and S. from Sarah (and myself). You ladies are amazing!

SW said...

@Dan and Sarah....I just love how this thing (Twilight and Rob/Kristen) has brought you two togehter as brother and sister and that you are both a part of this wonderful community here! :)
It's so great how this spread to everyone, at different ages, genders, nationalities and so on.....we are all one big family here! :)

RobStenation said...

@Diana That is entered in wiki, I'm not sure I'll go ask Clare lol

Jane said...

Getting very excited about this movie and to see "Robric" in all his bad boy glory.

twilightnan said...

HI! @Jane.."Robric"..I like that name for our Rob!..it rhymes with..Cedric..hihihi..very clever and excellent choice..hope the others would like it as well..omg!all these excitements and we don't even know when the filming is going to start..@Anonymous..Karina,..I'm jealous of you..you have already ordered your book..I need to get cracking and order mine as well!

RockFan said...

I agree with you all about the teen thing. Rob's fans range from 8 to 80. No way he's just a teen heartthrob, and besides he's NOT a teenager. He's 24 years old and a grown, albeit young, man.

Good idea twilightnan, Karina, and everyone getting the book. I need to order mine, too, and get to reading up on the new movie. I loved WFE and I love it when movies are made of great books. I think it gives the movie more depth when you have that background info going in. Plus you're more invested after having spent the time to read the book. I bet they'll have paperbacks with revised covers on sale as soon as they get the promo shots done.

Malia said...

Hey Dan! I like what you said & agree w/you & Sarah...Kristen & Rob are my favorite actors too..Hugs to Sarah f/me!
