Ladies,
I'm commenting here even if it's not the best spot.
On the buried spoiler thread of Remember Me--still active if anyone cares to go there--Violet said that where she lives RM has already been pulled from the theatres!!
She was planning on going again, only to realize it was gone.
Don't they give a film more of a fighting chance than that??
What can we do, I wonder, to change that, so that the film stays long enough for all the word-of-mouth to take hold and make box office difference??
Anybody have any ideas?
At any rate, I think we've got to step up the game, or at least keep telling people we know however we can.
Frankly, since reading all the spoiler threads, and even the one at 'ropeofsilicon', I'm convinced more than ever that people NEED to see this film at the theatres now, people that don't yet know they need to.
I'm pasting this message on the NM new post too, just so more of you will think on this and maybe come up with a solution.
Do any of us have media clout? Wouldn't that be nice.
Perhaps one of the really positive reviews could be re-published.
Heck, I don't know.
Okay, Goz, I won't paste this message anywhere else. Just wanted to get the word out on the newest posts.
Goz, maybe you, Kate or Kat have some ideas?
I saw it again yesterday with a friend of mine. She loved it! Going again with my nieces this weekend. I hope my poor heart can take it.
At least Rob himself acknowledges that his fanbase is wider than tween-teens. Now if he could just see that the upper age limit is wider still...
God, it's hard waiting for April! I've tried so hard to keep spoiler free, but I've a strong inkling, and I'm afraid I'll crack before it's released here.
I'm so glad I brought my friend to see this because now she thinks Rob is a great actor and she is gonna tell her friends to see this movie!(:
Gaaah! Someone needs to clue these interviewers in on their subject matter or they definitely need to do some research. The Twilight and Rob fandom has moved beyond the tweens and teens, beyond the 20's and 30's.
And one asked Rob about his vampire fangs at the premiere--Rob corrected him (finally) and said they were his teeth, no fangs. Once again clueless.
Jessegirl, Im with you.
Been posting everywhere to spread the word. Been emailing, calling, telling friends, everyone, my realtor, my cpa, my banker, people I meet in the street!
Let us spread the word!!
Gozde, I saw in ThinkingOfRob, a new banner for
REMEMBER ME Second SATURDAY. March 20
Could we please post it here, please, please? Thank you!
How do we spread this in other sites?
I still want to see this movie.
In one of the cinemas near where I live we have four movies showing in that cinema:
Avatar
Diary of a wimpy kid
Remember me
The Runaways
Double feature anyone. :)
@Annie
Wow Perfect Programm !
Can we all come to you ? ;)
I like the pout of Rob at the end of this vid.LOL
I've read a stupid headline once again "Rob will be received at the premiere of RM many screaming girls."
Hey, I'm not a girl, I'm a woman. And what a !
Runaways isn't playing in my town. Even more upsetting is only the local art theater is showing Ghost Writer. Even though I live in a small college town the "locals" are pretty conservative so I guess Cinemark is afraid to show Polanski's film. I think it interesting/controlling when theater chains get to decide what we do and do not see???? But Bravo Bravo at least Remember Me is still here and I am going to see it tomorrow again with my neighbor who now loves Rob!! She thought Little Ashes was hawt-she is also an artist who really gets Dali and thought Rob was so cute and confused as Salvador!!
completely jealous annie, RM is an hour away from me (I still went twice) but the runaways is 8hrs away and I can't go that far. I'm hoping it gets to New Orleans or Baton Rouge, both are a good drive, but definitely doable for me
What a totally uninteresting interview and such silly questions - I want to scream now whenever someone starts a RM interview making comparisons with Twilight or asking about how Lost is going to end... Rob and Emily are really patient... I've started compiling a list of words from all the crappiest interviews: Twilight, Edward, heartthrob, fangs, end of Lost, angsty, James Dean, teenagers fangirls, Twihards, brooding, teenage love...
I brought my cousin Kelly to see it with me, and lets just say I was sorry I did. The entire time she kept hissing in my ear, I dont get it...Im confused... UGH! How were people confused by this movie? I've slowly come to realize that RPatz fans are very intelligent as far as a fan base goes. Rob himself has aknowledged this, saying the fan fiction he reads along with the letters he recieves are better written then some scripts he reads by professionals. LOL!
I went yesterday to see it again. It's still here and going strong... half full.
Awww...
He's looking at all those 40, 50 and 60 somethins in the crowd thinking that they're still in their 20's and 30's. What a sweet boy. That, or he's blind as a bat.
As for the film...
I'm sorry to say that the dye has been cast. Because it opened up at under 10 million, it will be 'perceived' as a failure...box office wise anyway. I thought it might have some legs with word of mouth, but I'm thinking, maybe not. We'll know more when the numbers for this week are released on Monday. My guess is this will do better overseas and that American audiences will catch up with the DVD. But with it's small budget, it's gonna make it's money back and that's all the studio cares about. With a 16 million dollar budget, it's got to clear 32million before it's in the black. And with worldwide box office and DVD sales, it should do much more than that. A couple of films that were considered massive failures here in the U.S. because they 'opened' poorly (Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing and Kevin Costner's Waterworld), were in fact
big moneymakers around the world.
Despite it's poor showing at the U.S. box office, this film hasn't 'hurt' Rob's young career. He walked away with pretty much terrific reviews and has cemented his stardom beyond Twilight. But this film had a problem, none of which had to do with the quality of the film or the performances. This ending is too polarizing and alot of critics with their influence, didn't get it and they led with their outrage.
I don't believe there is anyway to now turn this film into a box office success. At least not here in America. Unless the word of mouth has been such and it grows some legs. And I guess we'll know come Monday morning if it has.
I have just decided to quit reading all reviews. My Star magazine just came in the mail and of course in the Entertainment Reviews by Marshall Fine(whom I looked up on his website(ugly geek) gave Remember Me one and one half stars and called the movie Forgettable. Now, if people are reading these reviews of critics that like to diss Rob, they will not want to see the movie. I am so upset, not going to read anymore reviews. Just watched Remember Me a fourth time and it was just as fresh and wonderful as the first time. It has almost made $10M by last count. Everyone needs to tweet Marshall Fine and tell him how wrong he is. He even stated that She's Out Of My League could be a sleeper. S..t No!!!!
@ Nik, ITA. This film is such a little jewel that it is sad that it isn't getting better reviews. But after reading the review of The Runaways in today's paper (only mentioning Dakota Fanning by the way) it occurred to me that some of the critics may be like my daughter, who writes literary reviews, and have a real negative feeling about anything involving Twilight actors. She shuts completely down and will not discuss Rob or KS at all, pans all that either of them do all because of her hatred (yes, hatred) of Twilight. Not fair at all. Perhaps the only good news for those of us who love RM is that with a limited run we may get a DVD out sooner.
OT-- @RPG, if you check in here--Thanks a lot (note the sarcasm) I am now officially sucked into the vortex of FF. :)
Correction...
I'm not sure about Waterworld, but Van Helsing did in fact open very well. But both plummeted quickly at the box office and they were two of the most critically savaged films in recent memory. Also, they were big budget with big established stars and so much MORE was expected of these films. That's why their failure was so glaring.
Not so much this time with Rob because except within the Twilight bubble, not a whole lot was expected from this. Beyond this bubble, alot of the general movie going audience only knows of him as that kid with the funny hair plastered all over the tabs who got too famous too fast and hasn't earned it. There's alot of backlash out there directed at Robert Pattinson because they don't give his stardom any legitimacy. They think he's a flash in the pan who's gonna fade once all of this Twilight madness has passed. They would be wrong as this performance (not necessarily the film, but HIS performance) has legitimized him as an actor. They know now, he's got the goods.
I know that we want all of his films to be a success, but that just isn't going to happen. The biggest stars have failures all the time. And don't get your hopes for Bel Ami. A little costume drama? The most we can hope for with these kinds of films (the kind he seems to be drawn to) is that he receives critical acclaim for them. That he keeps on growing as an actor and keeps on getting noticed for that.
Because of the success of Twilight, he's going to be a 'movie star' for some time to come. What he needs to do now is choose those roles (and he's doing it), to prove himself a good actor. That's not to say that he's going to ignore those films with box office potential. Water For Elephants has got big box office written all over it; based on a well received novel, an A-list Oscar winning leading lady (Reese Witherspoon), a newly minted Oscar winning co star (Christop Waltz), a screenplay by one of the most prolific writers in films (Richard LaGravenese) and I can only imagine the A list director their going to get for this AND a storyline dealing with the circus which should appeal to families with kids (a huge demographic and I give you Alice In Wonderland as exhibit A). MUCH will be expected of this film. MUCH!!!
So...I'm yammering on here and I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. Oh yeah. Despite it's failure at the U.S. box office, this film is not a personal failure for Robert Pattinson. And it's my own personal belief that once the initial 'noise' that this film has generated has passed, it will be more apprecitated as time goes on.
At least I think that's what I'm trying to say. I don't know anymore.

Everyone - I've already posted this somewhere else but after reading what nikola6 says about RM's polarizing ending, I am reposting it here as I think you might be interested. Check this article I've found on
http://www.rememberme-film.com/
I'm quoting:
"Bryan Reesman writes a must read article that takes a look at the controversy swirling around Remember Me."
“Remember Me”: Stirring Up Controversy And Emotions
by Bryan Reesman
"Yesterday I submitted an essay to Moviefone about the ... new film Remember Me, directed by
Allen Coulter, written by Will Fetters and starring Robert Pattinson (Twilight) and Emilie
de Ravin (Lost). A topical Moviefone story can often pull in one or two dozen comments.
Some have topped 100. This one reached 300 within 12 hours of being posted. At one point
last night, I was literally receiving one comment per minute, and during one hour alone,
the post received 78,000 views, easily making it the post of the night and landing it a top
spot on AOL’s main page.

Forgot to say - major SPOILERS in the Bryan Ressman article - sorry, I forgot this is not the spoiler thread anymore!
I do not know why that posted twice as I only hit 'publish your comment' once. That's all I need. With the length of my posts. Sorry.
But yeah, like I said, outside of the 'bubble' there's alot of rancor for ANYTHING Twilight. It sure does whip up passions (good and bad), don't it? One other thing...
Rob I think is going to do it opposite of the way Johnny Depp did it. All throughout the nineties, Johnny gave one acclaimed performance after another in films that didn't make a nickel at the box office. But he was an actor's actor and a critical darling. Then at the age of 39 he had his first box office blockbuster with Pirates and wa la, he was now finally a legitimate 'movie star.' It's going to happen in reverse for Rob.
The Twilight Saga which is going to encompass (from start to finish) about 3 to 5 years time, has established Rob as a bonefide movie star with a fame that has far exceeded anything he's done as an actor (hence...the backlash). So now he's got to backtrack and go and find those roles that may not keep him that box office star that Twilight has made him BUT will give him his street cred as an actor. But because he is NOW that big box office star, everything he does is now expected to be BIG and when it's not, they'll say he's a failed movie star who can only sell the public one character. But even if they do, as long as he keeps on getting better as an actor and building that critical acclaim and respect amoungst his peers, I don't know that he's really going to care if doesn't rule the box office throughout his career. But...
Because of his early catastophic fame, he's going to have a rougher go of it than Johnny Depp did. Johnny proved himself as an actor early on and then his fame caught up with him. Rob's got to prove himself the actor while trying not to drown in the tsunami of fame.
My gut says he's gonna make it. Meaning, he might not remain a huge box office star throughout his career, but he'll be a respected actor and I think THAT will be what matters to him.
@Nik: I think Rob has a gameplan of which acting is only a part. I agree, though, that he has to find that balance between respected actor/star before he's done. Seems to be choosing projects that will lead him there...
Regardless of how well RM does at the box office, Rob is wanted by acclaimed studios, directors and actors. Look at all the films he has lined up already and he said he's doing a ton during the next 2 years so there are some we don't know about. I agree that Water for Elephants could be a huge hit. Rob will be A-okay.
@Loisada & @Nik: OT, and I don't know where else to put this, but I know you both write, so fyi:
www.ifp.org is livestreaming some of the panels from the Script to Screen Conference this weekend. CH has dropped out, I believe, but there are some good screenwriters taking part. In case you want to take a break from the NM dvds...lol
@WhyisRum...Thanks for the link to Bryan Reesman. That was a good one.
The fact that RM is causing so much discussion has got to indicate that it has substance, doesn't it? I still can't get it out of my mind. Heartbreaking and heartwarming, I think Rob said. So true.
@Nicola6- As sad as that is true, I disagree to a certain extent.
Hollywood has cliques just like highschools. Look at Brad Pitt(whom I've never thought of as good looking) couldtake a piss on a homless person and still get rave revues. Have a newbie like Anna Kendrick play a role in an indie film and she would have been completely ignored. But she makes a movie with George Cloony, and BAM she's all of a sudden up for golden globes.
This does not make sense to me. Im not knocking Annas performance, but she acted just like Jessica in Twilight. Same deliverance.
It's all about who you associate yourselves with in the buisness early on.
Rob and Kristen both have actively sought out indie roles, smaller bits that are character bits, not blockbuster in your face CGI stuff. Rob seemed really proud of the factthathe brought such a small project to life against such monsters as Alice in Wonderland. To me, that shows intergrity and balls.
He has already said to hollywood, I reject blockbusters for the sake of fame and money, and Im opting to do somthing that has deeper meaning and in the long run will matter.
Rememmber Me mattered. It was heartbreaking and it will stay with you as a movie goer. Will Alice? No. Point made Rob.
@WhyisRum: his essay is well worthwhile, and good of you to post the link so others can read...
sounds like they are getting a response or two...lol
I should have been gone an hour ago..better p.off.
Yeah, Nicola, you're probably right about Rob's career, and the die being cast for RM.
I'm a stupid dog with a bone on RM.
It's just one of those very few movies that are 'too good to miss' and, for various really stupid reasons, people are missing it.
It's a crying shame.
Good points, Kerri.
Yeah, Rob, who calls himself a pussy--geez--has balls and integrity.
Hollywood doesn't like actors who think for themselves and who want to make films that matter. It can't control those actors.
Rob will not be controlled. Once he's got enough money--with lots of extra needed for bodyguards, sheesh--he'll do what he wants.
And he doesn't need entry into the George-Brad-Matt club. He'll have his own club. Or go alone. He's not afraid of that either.
Or just go off and sing by the seashore. :)
I'm not American, and i might not know a lot about box office, but i wouldn't consider RM like a failure. Yeah, some people might say it didn't do as well as some might have hoped. But the truth is this is a indie flick and most indie flicks don't even make their initial budget back, let alone a profit... it got so much attention just cuz rob was on it, and it was put under a lot of pressure. It's not an easy, happy movie, it's a drama and people don't appreciate movies like nowadays. They like comedies, rom-com, blockbusters, etc...
I always look at Daniel Day Lewis, he is a great actor and has never been considered a box office draw nor was Johnny Deep back in the day. Rob is like them, he wants to grow as an actor, and i think he would be happier being a respected artist (cuz that's what he is) than to be a action star with substance.
I think Rob will be just fine, RM might have gotten crappy reviews (from stupid people who didn't get the point), but his performance was lauded as very very good! He is a smart cookie and he'll know how to pick them.
(psst, who am i kidding, he could do a movie where he'd be staring at a box and nothing more for two hours and i would still watch)
*sorry for the long post
Lexi, I'm with you. I could stare at Rob staring at a box for two hours. And go to repeat viewings. :)
And if he read the box--imagining cereal--I'd listen repeatedly. :))
Lexi, yes I'm sure from all the interviews, it's obvious Rob wants to grow as an actor and be respected as an artist.
But more than that. A lot more.
Rob uses his film roles to further himself as a human being, to explore his humanity--good and bad--and to learn from it. That's one thing that attracts him to a role. He's said it a number of times, when discussing HOW TO BE, REMEMBER ME and other projects.
This is a truly creative motivation. Like a writer writes to explore humanity, the art informs and enlightens the artist. And once the artist becomes great, he or she will really learn what his art form has to teach him.
Rob is a seeker, always.
But ladies, is RM an indie flick? Isn't Summit a studio? Nik, clear that up for me please, I don't get it.
Just saw in People Magazine where The Runaways review got three stars. I bet rob is proud of Kristen. It's not playing at my local theater, only Alice, She's out of my League and the whimpy kid, like I want to see any of those. Getting ready to see New Moon at midnight tonight.
Kerri...
I absolutely agree with what you've said. And to be honest, I'm sitting here rambling away with a headache that could stop a charging rhino in it's tracks, and I'm not exactly sure what I'm saying (my head hurts so much that my thoughts are scrambling).
I agree that Rob has put Hollywood on notice about what it is he would like to accomplish in his film career. That he is not just interested in box office but that he wants to do films in which he can be proud of his work (and if they make some money along way...yippee!). Absolutely. As for Remember Me...
While it may be dismissed initially, I'm not sure that this film is going to fade away, especially with those who love it (and it seems to me that those who do, REALLY love this film, and I'm not just talking Rob fans). I think we'll be talking it up for some time to come and trying to influence those we know, to see it. And I think many millions more will see it on DVD and some will recoil and some will embrace it. But the fact remains that this was the first film in which a fictional character died at the WTC on Sept.11,2001. And THAT is signifigant. When the controversy dies down (and it will), this film will not be forgotten. And it's established Rob beyond Twilight. This film is really the first stepping stone for him in terms of establishing him as an 'actor' and not just another teen idol flash in the pan.
While it has initially been dismissed by alot of critics and pretty much ignored at the box office, I did not mean to come off as if I was dismissing it in anyway. I'm still plugging away on this thing. I'm going back this weekend and taking two more friends and another friend next weekend. Hell, I'll be dragging people to this thing when it hits the dollar theatre. And then invite those who still haven't seen it over to watch the DVD.
This film has touched me in such a way, that it will stay with me I'm guessing for as long as I have operating brain cells in my head. There are a few that have stayed with me always. That haunt me. Splendor In The Grass and Ethan Frome to name just two off the top of my 'aching' head.
I can now add Remember Me to that list. The image of him standing in that window will be with me...forever.
@Nik, YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!! It's you, right? Not a poser. Where the hell have you been girl? You've been missed. OK, now I'm going back to read your comments. So many postings I wanted to see your POV have gone by.
Jessegirl...
You are not stupid. You wanted this thing to soar and so did I. And in a way, it has. Maybe not to the masses, but to those who have taken this story and these characters into their hearts, it will be with us always. It is soaring.
And yes, this is an independent film produced through the independent arm of Summit Entertainment. Nearly all of the major studios now have an independent arm. Which is why Rob got the executive producer credit. He helped with casting, with shaping the script and most importantly, when Summit sent him to Cannes last year, it wasn't just for a photo op. He was sitting in meetings locking down the distribution rights for this film. Yup. Summit sent him on a 'big boy' errand.
I don't know if you've read this or not, but Rob has said that he'd like his own production company by the time he's 26. He said he wants to make small films with 5 to 10 million dollar budgets that aren't a part of the Hollywood money making machine. He's already working on scripts that he wants to make into films and it's my belief (just my belief) that he's made a deal with Summit. He goes out and jumps through the hoops and sells this Twilight franchise for them and when he's ready, they'll help him set up his own production company.
I can't prove a word of that. It's just a hunch.
Hey lallieb...
Yeah, I'm back. Got back a couple of days ago. I moved to the beach and my internet wasn't set up and it took those bastards nearly 3 weeks to get over here and do it. It was agony. How sad it that? I live near the beach and I was moaning 'cause I didn't have internet. Well. I was dying being cut off just as the film was opening. I'd been waiting a year for this. As for my thoughts on the film...
I wrote pretty extensively on a spoiler thread that I think was posted this past Tuesday, the
16th. I think it's a few pages back. Yeah. It was the spoiler thread for Tuesday the 16th.
I'd repeat it all here, but then this blog would come after me with torches and pitchforks. LOL!
Angsty I love it!!
I just read this, Awesome!!!! SPOILER WARNING
Post-Movie Coffee: Remember Me

(PS. people love the film :) )
@Nik, jeeze I started thinking you were in rehab (LOL), but NOooo, you moved to the Beach! Lucky bitch, can you adopt me? My bags are packed.
@Janna, what a great fan you are!
@Jesse, as always smart comments.
Here's mine: I went back to see RM AGAIN on Wed. alone mainly because of the opinions here which were so emotional and heartfelt. I won't repeat myself about Rob's performance, he did himself proud. I could watch it for him and Ruby over and over again. Having said that, it had memorable, haunting moments, but as a whole it has a lot of flaws which have to do with the script, I think. Yes, I was moved at the ending and cried, but when I went the 1st time with my friend, she did not like it -- sad ending and why? What was it really about? I get what it was about, now, but don't think it was conveyed in a way that is easily accessible to most people who go to the movies. For an indie movie, it has done very well, but it doesn't matter. What matters is the anomaly of Rob's career. Despite the negative reviews, most I read positive on the actors and Rob. Yuh, Nik, he's doing it backwards. He's got himself a real job, an acting career, and he's taking it seriously. WFE will be huge for him. When the Twilight spotlight dims, I'm thinking we'll still be here lusting, loving, and cheering him on.
Nicola, you have a way with words. I love it.
'charging rhino in its tracks'
'as long as I have operating brain cells in my head'.
And keep dragging people in, Nik--do you hate that diminutive??
I'm already considered nuts by my good friends and family regarding Robert. I'm becoming quite the little proselytizer about Remember Me. (I abhor proselytizers.) I don't care if my enthusiasm nauseates them, as long as they get their butts in that theatre!
Oh yeah I remember Ethan Frome. Liam Neeson was so good in that.
Thanks for the fascinating info. on Summit, and indie arm, etc. I knew he was doing more at Cannes than selling $20,000 kisses, I swear, but what, only you knew that.
You're so funny: 'torches and pitchforks'.
Did you double-check the spoiler thread--not sure of its original date, possibly 240 comments or so, and back at least 3 or 4 pages?
I know you commented there before the beach move (lucky).
I'd like you to, if you haven't. Big mouth that I am, I commented a whole lot more than I should have. Anyway, lots of painful but insightful and profound stuff there which I'd like you to read, unless your head hurts too much. We were going to the dark places.
Just so you know. Funnily, I think that thread still has a few last breaths in it.
Hi, lallieb!
Wednesday alone. That sounds good.
RM might be--is--flawed, but right now the power of it still floors me, and I'm happy with that situation. Like Nicola said, I will add it to the short list of films which are my personal, all time memorable best. Whatever its flaws, I think it'll stay there.
@kerri, sorry but I totally disagree with you about Anna. I read the buzz about her performance and then saw the movie. I saw nothing of Jessica in it. She totally owned that character and it was a revelation. Nothing to do with George, she totally delivered it! She deserved the accolades and noms.
@Jesse, despite the flaws, it does haunt me and I will watch it and probably own it on DVD. Because of Rob's performance, yuh, because of the story and those moments that touched me, definitely.
Thanks jessegirl for your very sweet comments. And you think I have a way with words huh? Music to a writer's ears. Thank you. Although I strongly suspect that more than a few people around here wished I had a way with 'lesser' words. LOL! Whadda ya gonna do? And I'm going to try to find exactly where that spoiler thread is that I posted on. I don't think I could possibly re-write here, but I did there. But I'm flattered that you want to read my take. I'll find it then come back here and tell you exactly where it is.
And lallieb...
I strongly suspect that once Twilight ends, alot of these Rob fans are gonna fall by the wayside because I don't really think they are Rob Pattinson fans. I think they are Edward Cullen fans. But Rob does have a core fan base and we'll stick with him for the rest of his career. Obviously there are not enough of us to keep his box office at Twilight proportions. But that's okay. There's enough of us to keep him a vivable film star. And if Remember Me is any indication, he's going to pick up more fans with each film. So yeah, we'll still be here as his career unfolds, lusting and loving and cheering him on.
And P.S. I though Anna was terrific in Up In The Air too.
