I watched this via LTT/forum last night... twice. The Rob Pattinson that I see here is the kind of guy that...
1. will not or cannot give you a clue as to where he is comming from... because he doesn't HAVE his OWN clue!
2. thought the script was funny the FIRST time he read it... and that's all he has to say about that.
3. is basically just doing this so he can afford to buy some more Ramein noodles... to avoid that starvation thing?
4. that will laugh at just about anything.
5. is probably very nervous around girls... until he's absolutely sure of them.
6. has a love-hate thing about attention.
7. has a hard time forming a complete sentence because so many thoughts are flailing around in his head for their own spotlight!
8. that women find intriguing and infuriating at the same time. (Nina, I'm starting to <3 your move to go work in a slaughterhouse? if thats what really happened) LOL!
The hotness is being projected by us I'm afraid... because what woman out there wouldn't like to help transform the insecure "Dork" into a confident "D**k"?
Therein lies the secret, I think to the pull of the adorkableness of Mr. Pattinson.
Thanks so much. God bless you. I really need RobArt in this stressful time at work. His smile is like a baby. Yet he can be devil at the same time. Enigma.
Latebloomer - interesting point of view, do you mean you think Rob is not such a big How To Be fan? I also got the feeling he wasn't so enthusiastic about Little Ashes. Seems like he's a bit of a tough crowd :)
Latebloomer....cute:) I agree, he's something else, our Rob....the incomplete sentences and incoherent thoughts, very frustrating and completely adorable at the same time. Hard to understand him, I don't think he understands himself....yes, I think he's a nervous person by nature and that is amplified when he's aroound girls.
LittleBear...I don't think he's being negative about either of those movies, as much as he tries to downplay them. It seems like he just doesn't want to be given proper credit, or attention for anything. I think I remember he said once that he was only picking movies that he really liked, not to try and get famous. It was more about the script and/or the people he would be working with. Always a tendency toward Indie films, which is what he thought Twilight was....budgetwise anyway.
When you compare "HTB-Rob" from this clip (just leave out the hair cut, etc.) with "RM-Rob" of the pap videos, how much more mature does he look, although there is only so little time inbetween?
What - gladly - never changes, is this wonderful smile!
@ lelietje: I had the same impression. There was a day when something got delayed on set and the three of them spent hours of drinking. In the end they were pretty drunk, and then the pub scene was filmed. Perhaps he was interviewed in the meantime.
That was awesome.I wish more of this footage would've been on the DVD extras. Even with them trying to mute his good looks, I'm still turned on by him. I Love Robart! Going to watch HTB tonight with my sister she still hasn't seen it. Yay get to see him throw a temper tantrum...one of my favorite parts.
@phosphorus and lelietje - I thought the same thing...He's drunk and still cute. We all think he needs to be taken care of but you know something he's just fine. He's living his life. He's what 20 or 21 in this movie?? If someone had interviewed me at that age they would have most likely found me the same way..drunk! HA HA That's what "youth" is for.
I saw this movie, of course, and Rob was so adorable. I don't know if he was so good to play this role or in that period of his life he was just feeling like Arthur. I only know that, watching this movie, sometimes you feel the need to hug him and comfort him!
I don't think that we realize when theses movies were made... I mean, they came out recently, but were shot a "relative" long time ago (especially for someone of Rob's age). For "how to be", it must be between 2 and 3 years ago.
Twilight was shot in 2008. beginning 2008 I think: He went to the 2008 mtv movie awards after having shot it, it was in may 2008.
So Little ashes before that, probably 2007. He auditioned for twilight after LA was shot (C Hardwicke mentions he auditioned with his LA draker hair color I think). He was officially cast for twilight Dec 11th 2007. Wich means he had auditioned before that, and I'm sure that they did not announce it right away, they tried to see how to beautify him (WTF)... So, LA might have been shot during the summer 2007...
And so that means How to be must have been shot before that. I don't know when precisely, if beginning 2007 or end 2006?
My point was: Rob was younger than we think, 20 or 21 maximum, when How to be was shot. That makes a difference at that age.
Let's be glad we have some cute fun insight to a version of Rob in the making!
@ Barb: I think he's very capable to take care of himself, he's anything but stupid. On the DVD the director talks about that drunken day, he encouraged their drinking.
@ Crystal: There's always the danger of mixing up the character he plays with his persona. Have you seen this interview? He explains in what way he related to the character and shares some thoughts about Art.
@ Anna F: As far as I know "How to be" was shot in 2007, and "The Haunted Airman" was filmed in 2006.
the europe DVDs are zone 2, the US DVDs are zone 1. Unless your DVD player is zone-free, it won't work.
Gozde had made a post about reasonably prices zone-free DVD players in the US, I know some people in the US purchased it and were very happy to be able to see DVDs from any zone (and How to be LOL). Someone will surely be able to let you know that info if you are interested.
i feel like when i see the behind the scenes for remember me or any of his new movies he won't look nearly as happy or "innocent" as he does now. kinda sad.
He was so cute during that time, I just want to cuddle him. I love the hair I dunno why.
Btw, I was suprise when he mentioned David Duchovny, was a big fan during the X-Files time ;) Did he said he wanted Dave to play him in a movie? I quite didn't get what that was about, maybe someone can fill me in with the details.
Even at his most dorky and seemingly insecure, he's still shamelessly working that smoldering charm on the women he's interacting with. Even when babbling, his eyes are always probing, probing, probing, asking, asking, asking. I think that unhindered contact is the core to his appeal. Hope even if it's tampered down over time, it never totally disappears.
@ Phosphorus: yes, I've already seen that interview. And that's why I think he kind of felt like Art during that period. You know, I've read somewhere Rob was kind of stuck, not knowing if he should go to College or not, what to do with his life, etc. But Art is such a loser that I really felt like comforting him, I felt compassion for him, watching this movie. Even if I really don't think Rob has ever been so "lost"!
Latebloomer, what great and insightful observations!
Yvonne...like that huge burst of laughter on the stairs? I had to rewatch that three times...can't get enough of it.
Little Bear, the Pretty IS impossible to hide. Maybe that's why Rob is shy/awkward/doofalicious...he's subconsciously trying to avoid appearing arrogant or self-congratulatory. He knows that humility is much more becoming.
Love this clip...so many extras that aren't on the DVD! (And BTW, you should be able to watch the DVDs on your computer even if you can't watch them on a region 1 player)
No, Crystal, Rob explicitly said he never felt stucked in anything like Art. He related to him because like Art he was bumming around, not knowing if he wanted to be an actor, yes. But he also described Art as a mediocrity which is something you could never say about Rob. :-)
Poor Art, trying so hard to work things out with his parents and his life in general.
"David Duchovny" The way he said makes me meeellttt. Gah, his voice! His accent here is a lot stronger so he sounds he mumbles so much. But it's the cherry on top of his dorky hotness.
I couldn't of said it any better myself. GOOD GOD HE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!!!
I'm going to have to have a lil talk with Goz in regards to this post....SHE on one hand gets to post something like this and lie on the beach...I on the otherhand am at work and trying Sooooo desperately to FOCUS!!!!! (LOL)
I didn't really see drunk or stoned, and I've seen a lot of drunk/stoned people in my life. I'm going by his eyes which were pretty clear. What I saw was shy, nervous, especially around girls/women. When asked questions by a male he was more relaxed. He looked really embaressed by the questions about the 'tube' shoot, in that scene there's a man sitting opposite across from him masterbating under his book while watching Rob, Rob looked like his skin was crawling in the movie. She asked.."Did you think you'd get distracted by the pretty sights?" he answered.."I thought that was illegal!"
Anyhow, from all the interviews and photos of Rob I've picked up several things, he only tosses his hair when he's nervous, and when really nervous he bites his nails, take a good look at his hands, his nails are bitten down to the quick. He's a lot less confident then some would believe.
I've been through some ugly crying over the shock of hearing about Michael's death! It is unbelieveable, isn't it? A couple of years ago out here in LA, I was returning from a flight and shared a shuttle with one of Michael's financial persons. Of course, the traffic here is awful and there were several stops so we got to talk for a long period. He said although Michael was very eccentric, that he did not do the things he was accused of. He said money was the motive and the accusers took advantage of Michael's vulnerability.
I am more devastated than I could've predicted. His music has been part of my life...it seems like forever. The only song I perform is one of his. Just cannot believe it!
I came here for some relief. Rob always cures what ails me!
Laughed so much with this!! I wish I could record this and save this, fore when ever I feel low, this will certainly cheer me up.. Love his dorkiness!!

*bell rings*
Class dismissed!
OMG Goz you made my morning! My day really! Oh I've watched those dvd extras a million times, but that was awesome! A bunch of new stuff! :)
I so love this movie and all the extras, he's super cute.
Rob is lovely here :) and I am going to see How to be soon, so I am super excited :)
Thanks so much. God bless you. I really need RobArt in this stressful time at work. His smile is like a baby. Yet he can be devil at the same time. Enigma.
It was hard to watch this movie, Rob was so... um... broken/hurt/lost? I wanted to shake his mom!
He's adorable at the end, giving himself the pep talk!
Latebloomer - interesting point of view, do you mean you think Rob is not such a big How To Be fan? I also got the feeling he wasn't so enthusiastic about Little Ashes. Seems like he's a bit of a tough crowd :)
LB - I think he's a tough crowd for any film featuring, you know, that idiot - Pattinson. Love his spontaneous, genuine laughter.
lol @ Diane, and you're probably right, too!
Latebloomer....cute:) I agree, he's something else, our Rob....the incomplete sentences and incoherent thoughts, very frustrating and completely adorable at the same time. Hard to understand him, I don't think he understands himself....yes, I think he's a nervous person by nature and that is amplified when he's aroound girls.
LittleBear...I don't think he's being negative about either of those movies, as much as he tries to downplay them. It seems like he just doesn't want to be given proper credit, or attention for anything. I think I remember he said once that he was only picking movies that he really liked, not to try and get famous. It was more about the script and/or the people he would be working with. Always a tendency toward Indie films, which is what he thought Twilight was....budgetwise anyway.
It's pure joy to hear him laugh, that kind of loud, throaty, sucking in air kind of laugh....hard to describe, but I know you all know what I mean :)
Everytime he is laughing I start grinning at the screen stupidly :p!
When you compare "HTB-Rob" from this clip (just leave out the hair cut, etc.) with "RM-Rob" of the pap videos, how much more mature does he look, although there is only so little time inbetween?
What - gladly - never changes, is this wonderful smile!
I'm so sure he was stoned or drunk at the interview...;-)). But he is the cutest and hottest thing on earth anyway.
That laugh...
'nuff said.
gah i love waking up and seeing something so beautiful.
i love him. i honestly love him.
@ lelietje: I had the same impression. There was a day when something got delayed on set and the three of them spent hours of drinking. In the end they were pretty drunk, and then the pub scene was filmed. Perhaps he was interviewed in the meantime.

He's what 20 or 21 in this movie?? If someone had interviewed me at that age they would have most likely found me the same way..drunk! HA HA That's what "youth" is for.
I enjoyed seeing him so free and natural.
"Even with them trying to mute his good looks, I'm still turned on by him."
Seriously! Same goes with Bad Mother's Handbook. The pretty's just impossible to hide.
I saw this movie, of course, and Rob was so adorable.
I don't know if he was so good to play this role or in that period of his life he was just feeling like Arthur. I only know that, watching this movie, sometimes you feel the need to hug him and comfort him!

@ Anna F: As far as I know "How to be" was shot in 2007, and "The Haunted Airman" was filmed in 2006.
well, he certainly was a cute thing in 2007... a bit clueless on the side, but that's still part of his charm, even if it's been tamed down.
I loved latebloomer's observations ^_^
Can I get the DVD in the US? Will the UK one work on my DVD player? HELP! I must see this movie!!! LOL
@ Haystackhair
the europe DVDs are zone 2, the US DVDs are zone 1. Unless your DVD player is zone-free, it won't work.
Gozde had made a post about reasonably prices zone-free DVD players in the US, I know some people in the US purchased it and were very happy to be able to see DVDs from any zone (and How to be LOL).

He's just delightful... I could listen to that laugh all day...
Even at his most dorky and seemingly insecure, he's still shamelessly working that smoldering charm on the women he's interacting with.

Team Robart <3
Just when you think you can't fall anymore in love with that man...you then see stuff like this!
I love his smile, his laugh...his wicked sense of self....
JUST YUM!!
@Jewels
I couldn't of said it any better myself. GOOD GOD HE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!!!
I'm going to have to have a lil talk with Goz in regards to this post....SHE on one hand gets to post something like this and lie on the beach...I on the otherhand am at work and trying Sooooo desperately to FOCUS!!!!! (LOL)
I GIVE ROB WINS....(AGAIN)
He makes me so happy...:D

Oh LORD!! Michael Jackson just died!! Sorry...off Topic, I'm in shock! Heart Attack!
