We will be making a Remember Me Spoiler post later tonight where you can discuss the movie. We'll do it everyday from now on for a week. PLEASE do not post spoilers in any of the threads. Wait for the Remember Me Spoiler thread then GO NUTS! ;)
Just so we’re clear: If you’re allergic to spoilers of any kind, stop reading right here. Really. Right here. Not that I think I’m including any spoilers in this item. But you never know. Maybe just mentioning the word “spoiler” is some kind of spoiler? You tell me. (Kate: Now here's the thing I've read this article and I don't think it contains ANY spoilers. Make up your own mind if you want to read it or not;-))
Where was I? Oh, right: As you have read (in my own review), Robert Pattinson from Twilight and Emilie de Ravin from Lost play a pair of tragically star-crossed lovers in the exceeding tragic tragedy of all teen tragedies Remember Me. But what you didn’t read in my own review — although you may well have read elsewhere — is that Remember Me has a surprise ending. In fact, if you’re someone who likes to jump the gun, maybe because you’re never going to see the movie, you can easily find the facts about that ending elsewhere online, all over the place. I’m not even going to link to where you can read the details, because I don’t see the point. As I said, if you’re interested, you’ve probably found out already. The truth is out there.
Meanwhile, that truth has got me thinking about the challenge of writing responsibly, thoughtfully, and usefully about movies in an age of viral communication. It’s a cinch for anyone to spill the beans to the whole movie-going world with a push of a SEND button. And even when beans aren’t being spilled, sometimes reading anything at all about a movie before you’ve seen it dilutes the experience. (I know it does for me.) Yet how are you going to consider whether to see a movie in the first place if you don’t read about it? And how can I, as a professional critic, write meaningfully about any movie I’m analyzing without sometimes, somehow, including information you may not want to know? Sure, I can write something like, “and then stuff goes wrong,” rather than specifying the wrongness. But is even that TMI?
I’m considering these questions a lot these days as the warp speed of Internet communication irrevocably alters the quality and meaning of cultural discourse. It’s not exactly news that the role of movie criticism as part of a robust, culturally literate society is undergoing change — especially when anyone calling herself a critic, blogger, citizen journalist, muckraker, or fangirl can feel she’s breaking news by being the very first to tweet an opinion immediately after (or even more obnoxiously, during) the very first screening of one movie or another. Oooh, first! Big deal. Personally, I don’t think there’s any value at all in first-ness, or in instant analysis and competitive punditry, and certainly not in spoiling surprise endings.
But, hey, I really want to talk about the ending of Remember Me with you! The subject is really interesting! And if you can read all about it elsewhere on the Internet at this very minute, when’s the right time for me jump in?
You tell me.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excited? Yes......
YAY! Can't wait!!! I haven't been this anxious in a long time!
@RPG - LOL!
So many new posts today, I can't keep up. FRL!
*So excited I can be a part of the spoiler thread*
I love you, Robert Pattinson!
not sure i can handle the ending of this movie...sob
19 more hours!!!!!
Annoying, huh?
I think this day has moved along slower, just to piss me off!
I'm going at 4 EST tomorrow!! Yay. Talked my daughter into going with. Smart girl!!
it's today, it's today, the wait is over:)))))
Hey, RPG and others, we already have a spoiler thread, but whatever.
I get to see Rob at 11:55 am tomorrow!!! Can't wait.
Just reading HA chap 32. Notice MOTU us also updated.... what a night for FF.
Suzy from HA, comes everyday but is confused about our chat areas. I will clue her in. She loves the Rob pictures that Kate, Godze, and Kat find. hehehe just like us.
We're all Robsessed... sigh...
FILTM
LOL rpg
tomorrow @355pm for me!!
I've got an abcessed tooth and will be on painkillers and penicillin but I've pre-bought my ticket for tomorrow and NOTHING will stop me from seeing this movie!! I've waited too long! It will take me a week to catch up on all the articles and reviews I've avoided though because I haven't been reading ANYTHING with spoilers!:-)
@ cerulean blue you're a true Rob fan just like us!
I have read many spoilers but I'm still excited and can't believe its getting closer!
Saturday for me!!!!!!! first showing in the morning. I bought my tickets last night and I'm picking them up shortly!!
Does anyone know if there will be long lines?
I`m going at 7:15 EST tomorrow!!!!
What really sucks though is I have to work so you know the day will be FOREVER LONG!!!!
HI Suzy, Join us please.
Love and hugs to all.
Smirk, I get to see Rob at 11:55 am tomorrow. hehehe
So here's what I love not only about ROBsessed..and Rob... They bring people together....
Back in Dec a friend & I went to see Sam Bradley..abd there were a couple of really nice girls behind us who were not there to see him, but really ended up enjoying his show.
A week later, I went to go see Bobby Long by myself, and got a table right in front of the stage.. 2 girls asked if they could share my table, turns out, same gal from Sams show, and she's on ROBsessed! Small world...
3 months later, this same sweet girl emails me and wants to know if I want to join them to see Remember Me! Although I already have tickets & plans, and invited her to join me, it just goes to show how much Rob & this blog bring people together!
Dominique if you're lurking, thanks again!
18 more hours!!!
I am going Friday at 1:45pm, alone. None of my friends are interested in seeing this movie. Dummies!
Oh well, at least there will be no witnesses to the drooling.
I envy you lucky US gals!
Damn it,
i must wait week longer to see The Pretty:(
LOL, ADM, will be at the 10:40 am showing, also solo. So anxious!!!
(If Gwen bit her nails, she would be biting them really hard right now.)
@ADM good for you! I would join u if I lived close lol!

ADM, I wish I could go with you!
@RPL are you one of the ones that has to wait longer?
This is probably one of the very few times I am happy to be living in Eastern Europe - I'll be watching RM in exactly 9 hours :D
Off to bed now, it's 4am here. Happy March 12th everybody! :)))))
Hi dee ho ladies!! I'm going to the 7:30 tomorrow.
womadsart, yeah I am, because my local theater isn't showing it! BOOO...
Do you have to wait, too?
Sorry... no. I don't. I'm one of the lucky ones. Got my tickets yesterday and picking them up later tonight. Going Sat morning....
Good for you ADM!! alone or with a crowd, it's ROB! It's all good!
Don't be sorry! Excited for everyone who gets to see it. :)
Ok, RL calling, but BBL.
RPG. DId you get martinis twat? She's following you. You can look in mine.
MARTINI!!! GAH, YOUR BACKROUND....BEND ME OVER THE TABLE AND DO ME ROB!!!! GOT CHA BB
RPG, that's got to be the f*kin sexiest photo of Rob yet!! Just wanna RIP all his clothes off right there!!
gotta go watch the trailer again...25 times apparently not enough...
OK,I returned from the theatre a few hours ago and I still can't get the film out of my head (it viewed on the 11th in Greece). Although I had guessed a good deal about the film, nothing, NOTHING prepares you for it. I had always suspected he was never a child, but now I am certain. Rob's a fully grown man and he can act. Period.
RPL, {sobs} I wish you could go with me, too!
I still can not believe your theater is not showing it. Brainless morons!
womadsart,
ITA....he is BEGGING FOR IT!!!
Ok, Robward in the black tee shirt?
It needs to come off, now....
Ebonyeyed,
How exciting!!! I can't wait for tomorrow morning!!
@ Ebonyeyed, great to hear yet another good thing about him and this movie!!
@ rpattzgir: I'm naturally going again at the weekend - this time with tissues and no popcorn. Waste of money. You can eat watching this film.
I'm SO curious about all those men around me, who badmouth him for his role as Edward... I wonder what they'll say after watching this one...
LOL! Meant to type 'you canNOT eat watching this movie'...
Ebonyeyed,
Seriously! First if they read the books, they would know that Rob nailed Edwards character....
then to play Tyler...and play him as well as everyone is saying...he's an actor, and a damn fine one!!!
Yea, no popcorn or drinks for me...I'll be peeing through the whole thing...
Depends, check
Kleenex, check,
Oxygen, check
Fire hose, check
911 on speedial..check
He looks so adorable in this pic!!! *drooling*
The first session of Remember Me in my city will start at 13:50h tomorrow, so I'll try to sleep 10 hours tonight so that I have to wait only 4h! Woow!
lol...BMH is being re-released if you want to get that one, or you can watch it on youtube...he's adorable in it!
And The Summer House will be out in Oct!!!!
Thanks, rpattzgirl! I read about BMH - I'm getting it. (I also love Catherine Tate)
And PRAISE THE GODS! AT LAST SUMMER HOUSE WILL BE OUT! lol I don't even remember how long I've been waiting for that... I even subscribed at the site to receive info and - nada!
LMAO,
Here's the passed out CR pic in case anyone missed it..
http://www.celebuzz.com/christina-ricci-parties-lindsay-lohan-s179691/
@rpg - where can I find BMH on Youtube?
GIRLS!!!!!
Who's here???
I saw it last night with some girlfriends...the benefit of living in Australia and opening day being earlier than the US. I was left speechless at the end. The whole way through the movie I didn't even open my drink or reach into my bag for the M&Ms I had stashed in there. Can't wait to see what you all think of it when you see it.
I can't see RM til March 25th... :(
Make sure to go to see it on saturday too! :)
@Fae--hi waves wildly--how are you?
FAE!!!!!
OMG - 2 yr old is sick finally sleeping, and I just watched Eclipse Trailer.........HELLLLLO HANDSOME. Love Eclipse Edward. THE WIGS WERE YUCK

@ rpg, Nancy, and Terri - You're all so right about friendships that can develop because of this site. It's the best. Everyone helps and supports each other. It's a great society here.
What's with only 17 chapters of HA appearing on Twilighted? I tried to get the update, and found there had been more chapters on ff than Twilighted. Very frustrating. Any suggetions, ladies?
Would anyone have the address for the latest chapters? I emailed you, RPG, and asked if you could help me out.
I did read MOTU update. It's clever. I love the banter back and forth between Edward and Bella as they email each other. Their relationship is getting so much deeper. The chapter is a cliffie, damn it! Thankfully the updates are one in a timely manner. I just hope the damn trolls stay away from this great story.
Thanks, ladies for any help.
Thank God tomorrow is the day for Rob and Saturday is the day for Rob. I have my tickets and between looking at the clock move slowly and not being able to access HA, I'm hyper.
FILTM!
@Australian it's not my b-day yet! :D
OMG thanks Womadsart, I have just finished reading the book and loved it
@Fae opps sorry miss read it, see what happens when you get old lol

hi girls - i've been following this blog for weeks now and am excited that I'm not the only almost 40 year old woman to be completely in awe of this man!! I felt alone in the world until i realized that all of you are just like me!! this is my support group for my addiction! am celebrating my 40th birthday on Saturday and who better to spend it with than Rob!!
BTW, I'm a huge fan of MOTU - it knocks my socks off! What is HA? Is this something similar??
fae, not mua. I still have to wait 1 more day!!!
God, 1 more day!! seems so long!
LOL am I the only one who is this guy's generation? I feel like an outkast! What's up with our generation? ;)
wecome RobsDemi--happy bday--im in the same group as you LOL--best place to be
@wom Gee thaaaanks, you're such comfort! NOT! ;P
Fae--maybe you're an "old soul" like Rob--i (heart) you sweetie--i'm VERY young at heart LOL
@wens aaaaaawwwwww I heart you too! :)
oh and that's not only cause I'm exec.prod.?
fae--nope, exeprod is just a bene we get LOL
thanks wensdazzled!
@wens aaaawww! :)
it's the chernobyl thing, I know it! LOL! We're radioactive, who can blame us! LMAO!
@fae--LOL yes, Rob makes us all glow!
Hi RobsDemi! Welcome!
HA is High Anxiety - another ff
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5222490/1/High_Anxiety
martini--did HA update?
@wens AHA! I knew it! LAWLS! it's the doomed generation. when I think about it, we all have something weird in ourseles! ;)
thanks martini - i'm adding it to my list!! so excited!!
well this ch. girl is off to bed. it's really late, or should I say early! LOL
Good night everyone!
Good morning to me! :)
FILTM!!!!
OMG my typing! blame it on a a-a-a-a-a-alcohol!
Welcome RobsDemi,
great name, you're in the right place!
@ ROBsDemi - HA (High Anxiety by EdwardsBloodType) is on ff and Twilighted.
Edward is falsely accused of date rape and is under a court order not to touch anyone under age. He meets Bella who is underage. It's a heartrending tale that brings smiles and rips your heart out at other times. It is definitely worth the time. The only problem is that updates come far and few between and there is often a cliffhanger, but, again, it is worth the wait.
Hope you enjoy it. Here's the ff address:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5222490/32/High_Anxiety
Enjoy RM tomorrow.
@wens - nope, it didn't update, I was just providing the info to RobsDemi. :o)
I just started Such Great Heights
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5654368/1/Such_Great_Heights
I think this was a recommendation from Gwen. Was it Gwen? I think so, but am not sure.
Gotta turn in all. Robward Dreams to you all!
Will tomorrow morning EVER get here for me???

Then we can obsess over Eclipse!
Wow - Barbara, thanks for the summary, sounds great!
rpattzgirl - i like the name too ;)
if only it could be...sigh...
a girl can dream, right???
goodnight girls!! looking forward to a great weekend!!
well, I'm back but it seems everybody is leaving! Anyone still on?
12 more fucking hours until Rob!!! I don't think I can sleep tonight.
I live in Australia and saw 'Remember Me' last night. All i will say is i loved it and lovely Rob was beyond brilliant in it. 2nd viewing tomorrow hooray! :)
Nice thread here tonight.
@Aussiechick, welcome and I'm seeing RM tomorrow and desperately avoiding any spoilers or reviews, your comment made me more excited to see it. And, BTW I was obsessed with the dingo stole my baby story. I know how it ended. She was exonerated and set free. An incredible story of press and public opinion influencing the judicial system.
I can't believe E Online gave RM a D rating. Jackasses!
I was going to go 1:30 Friday all by myself (*sniff*) but my husband didn't like the idea so much. He must really love me, he's going with even though he's not wild about my fixation with Rob and I said I'd probably need a box of kleenex to get through the movie.
the D rating of RM came from the Answer Bitch - she was never going to like it
Today is the day :DDDDD I couldn't sleep the whole night.
EW is predicting the wkend Box Office for RM is 10 million US, I am predicting way way more than that ......Show them the Rob power girls....
omg :))
he died.. i cant believe he died...
i cant stop crying. my baby.
