Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson's best performance was in Cosmopolis...no wait...The Rover...

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson's best performance was in Cosmopolis...no wait...The Rover...

PJ recently did a Blast From The Past about Rob's rave reviews for his performance in Cosmopolis.

It got me thinking....thinking evil things....


Oh yes...it's Tuesday which means why not have a little torture???

Since Twilight ended, Rob has had 2 pretty substantial roles (substantial meaning lead or co-lead) that received much praise - Eric Packer in Cosmopolis and Rey in The Rover....so....which performance do you think was the best???



This might seem easy to some but is it really? IS IT???
I actually know which one I'd pick but I've had time to ponder. Now it's your time to ponder...

Torture Tuesday for Robert Pattinson fans makes a come back

Torture Tuesday with Robert Pattinson makes a come back! You know you missed it ....








Aw you know you love Torture Tuesday!



It's an easy one to get you back into the swing of things! Which of Rob's upcoming roles are you most looking forward to?  And to make it easy it's just a choice of two and there is a short summary of each film included below to help you decide.

Brimstone
Are you looking forward to seeing Rob re-team with Guy Pearce and Mia Wasikowska?

Mia Wasikowska in the lead as Liz, is a young woman on the run from a difficult past who must flee a diabolical preacher (Pearce). Martin Koolhoven wrote the script and is directing the film in May this year, with Pattinson set as an outlaw, while van Houten’s role has yet to be announced. "Wasikowska is a powerhouse performer,” says producer Tim Haslam. “Guy Peace plays a hunter who unleashes hell. Martin directs a highly emotional, gripping and unique story of a mesmerising woman who battles the vengeance of a zealot.”

The Trap
Rob has just been listed among the cast of The Trap with Harmony Korine.

The follow-up to Korine’s riotous cult indie crime romp Spring Breakers also has Al Pacino, Robert Pattinson and James Franco in final negotiations to join a cast that has already secured Benicio del Toro as one of the two leads. More details have also been revealed about the storyline for the film which, like Spring Breakers, is set in Miami – with the city’s music scene as a backdrop. 

Elba will play Rico, a successful gangster rapper, with Del Toro as Slim, the childhood friend who took the fall for him 14 years earlier after a robbery the pair committed turned sour. When Slim is released from prison just as Rico is about to be honoured at the Grammy awards, he vows revenge on the man who married his girlfriend and raised his jailed friend’s son as his own. 

Pattinson is set to play an Uzi-wielding surfer who joins the plot to take out Rico, with Franco as the rapper’s treacherous, cocaine-snorting manager. Pacino, who recently starred with Korine in a rare acting role for the latter in the David Gordon Green drama Manglehorn, is set to play Slim’s parole officer.

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson is a serenade in blue....

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson is a serenade in blue....

I'm sitting in bed, winding down my evening when I realized that it's Tuesday....which translates to me as TORTURE TUESDAY!!!!



I'm going to take it easy on you guys since this is our first TT back since PromoRob went into hibernation. And that's exactly our muse for today's torture - PromoRob! Specifically....SexyBluePromoRob........



Ahhh...two sexy suits, both alike in dignity....in fair ROBsessed, where we lay our scene....


See? That wasn't too hard, was it?



Oh, come on!

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson was the best Tyler, the best Jacob, the best Georges, but.....

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson was the best Tyler, the best Jacob, the best Georges, but.....

It's Tuesday! Have you missed me?



Awww don't be like that. You know you love Torture Tuesday.



TOO BAD!!! Because your grumbles keep this day going. ;) Where shall I begin....

Yesterday, we found out that Rob was no longer going to be a part of Mission: Blacklist. I'm totally fine with this for reasons I shared in the comments but the one thing I am sad about is we lost a film with Rob in the lead and well, Rob as a lead......



This made me think about Rob taking on leading roles after he snagged Twilight yet before he became the KING OF CANNES with Cosmopolis...

In Remember Me, he was the charming and troubled Tyler, breaking our hearts and making us fall for him just like Ally.



In Water For Elephants, he was the compassionate, sweet Jacob, making us again fall in love with him like Rosie and Marlena.



In Bel Ami, he was back to charming and troubled....actually Troubled with a capital T. And this time, you were definitely in danger if you fell for him...like poor Virginie here.



Rob would go on to knock it all out of the park in Cosmopolis as the leading man and start his reign as the KING OF CANNES but what do you think about these three leading roles/characters during the Twilight years? Great you say? Fantastic? Rob was the complete embodiment of Tyler/Jacob/Georges? Well what if I asked you this....

heheheheeeeee....happy Torture Tuesday!

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson and David ______________

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson and David ______________

Hey guys....it's time for some TORTURE!!!!!



Hehe....I really do enjoy this. Let's cut to the chase because you're certainly not going to be pleased. The Rover and Maps To The Stars have had AMAZING press for the past week. CannesRob3.0 is going to blow us away! We're going to see Robenberg reunited! Those two are what classic bromances are made of. All the praise. All the adoration. It's chicken soup for the ROBsessed soul.




We're also going to see Rob promoting with another David! David Michôd is no slouch with the Rob love either. The Rover promo with Rob + David hasn't even really happened yet but we know Rob was Michôd's first choice for Rey by a long way, and that he thinks Rob is a really smart guy and knows exactly what he want to do to build his career. Rob also happens to be David's fave...




So the question is....how do you feel about Rob and David___________

That's an easy one, right?



HAHA!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

Torture Tuesday: Last day on Earth, two hours left, one Robert Pattinson film....

A DAY OF TOOOOORTUUUURRE!!!!
Are you ready??? Of course not. But we're going to ask anyway.....

THE TORTURE BEGINS AFTER THE CUT!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Torture Tuesday: We play the waiting game and guess what Robert Pattinson's next career move will be

Torture Tuesday: We play the waiting game and guess what Robert Pattinson's next career move will be



Oh Rob....you got us going hmmmmmmmmm...

At the end of The Rover filming, Rob was interviewed and he confirmed he was taking the next 3 weeks off. Those 3 weeks have come and gone and have left me pondering, "What's your next career move, Rob?" We know that there are plans for Maps To The Stars to go into production in July but I bet Rob's got other stuff planned in the meantime.

What do you guys think?? We used to have Torture Tuesday polls and and I feel like the waiting game is a form of torture for our fandom. Perfect time to bring back the poll!



You guys get 2 votes. I'll share my guesses later in the comments. I love guessing but patience is still a tortuous virtue! Maybe Rob has a tip for us?



ZenRob is love.

To be or not to be...which Robert Pattinson character would you want for your boyfriend?

To be or not to be...which Robert Pattinson character would you want for your boyfriend?

You guys know I love some Rob polls and you know I love some Rob torture. I was watching a certain Rob film the other day and thought, of all of his characters, I'd have this one be my boyfriend. Not husband...gotta baby step this. But boyfriend, definitely. We've played MFK before but this led me to wonder which Rob character YOU guys would want for a BF.

Let the torture begin!

Giselher: I didn't want to include this character because the removal of Rob's voice is a crime but maybe you're in the relationship for the horse rides. 



Rawdy: Kind of young so hopefully teens are the ones voting for this abandoned boy.



Cedric: Same issue as Rawdy here. Hope it's teens voting for this young Hufflepuff lad.



Toby: He might slit your throat and you can't have sex with him but he's oh so dreamy and sounds like heaven. 



Daniel: Adorkable at its best and he'll love you even if you're knocked up with another man's kid.



Art: Musically "talented" but one therapy session shy of doin' fine.



Salvador: Brilliant artist. You can be his muse or his beard or both.



Edward: As only your boyfriend, you likely won't be getting any from him but he's oh so dazzling and wont kill you no matter how much he wants to.



Richard: Slight stalker but has a nice tan. Don't pull his hair too tight.



Tyler: Moody, broody and such a cutie but has some daddy issues.



Jacob: A gentleman at his best and animal lover but you're going to have to show him around the silk sheets.



Georges: Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmble! Champagne! P.S. Hide your wallet.



Eric: Mind-boggling and wants you to arouse a passionate feeling. Just let him get a haircut when he wants one or he'll get trigger happy.



You only get one vote! I won't tell you which one was my pick...I'll say later in the comments ;)

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: BEL AMI WEEK!!!

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: BEL AMI WEEK!!!

IT'S TIME!!!!!! IT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMEEEE!!!!!!



I'm bursting out of my skin. I'm a sizzling live wire. I'm a bundle of cosmic fire. Can you tell I'm READY for Bel Ami???

Australian distributor, Hopscotch Films, released this cool, behind-the-scenes look at Bel Ami but before we get to that, let's talk business: how will you be viewing Bel Ami on May 4th?

Amazon Instant Video viewers: 
Magnolia Pictures released a VOD film (Apartment 143) on April 27th. I checked Amazon on April 27th at midnight ET and the film was not up. It was not available for instant viewing right away. It took several hours. The film was also never in the 'coming soon' list, it just appeared. I know this worried several people since Bel Ami has not appeared on the 'coming soon' list. My test showed the films do not update right at midnight but it's still worth checking if you plan to watch Bel Ami at 9pm PST like I am. ;) If you are going to be more rational, the film will be ready for you to watch instantly at a normal hour on May 4th.

iTunes viewers: 
The film will update May 4th at midnight. Only bummer is the download time. It'll take me 1.5 hours to download but those times change depending on your internet speed. Since I'm on the west coast, this isn't bad for me but I know it's a tough one for east coasters.

Cable viewers:
You need to check this chart to see if your cable company is on here. If it is, there's a good chance you can view Bel Ami immediately at midnight on May 4th. Read carefully because some companies (like mine, AT&T Uverse) only let you see VOD on the theatrical release date (June 8th).



At midnight on May 4th, I'll put up a spoiler post but really I think it'll be a "Let's go ape sh*t about how amazing DuRob was" post. Show your support for Rob's long awaited film and check it out all weekend. I already know I'm going to be breaking the bank for the month of May with those $9.99 rentals. Rob's worth every penny.

Now about that behind-the-scenes footage. I'm hoping we see more of these in the Bel Ami DVD extras because I'm forever fascinated by filmmaking. I also get a kick out of seeing Rob "come back" after being in character. You can always tell when he's with us again. :)

Torture Tuesday with Robert Pattinson: 1 MORE WEEK!!!!!!

Torture Tuesday with Robert Pattinson: 1 MORE WEEK!!!!!!

GAH!!!! 1 MORE WEEK!!!!

Bel Ami is around the corner! Have you made your plans? You know we want you READY.

First: The list of viewing options for May 4th. I'm checking the release time for a film going on VOD this week so I'll let you guys know if May 4th at midnight (May 3rd 9pm PST) is an option.



Next: A quick update about theaters for June 8th. Check you out, Ohio!



Lastly: A respectable review from Times Literary Review. I've been quite bothered with Magnolia Pictures twitter campaign for the film in the States. It's a shame the film isn't being promoted in a fashion that isn't so teeny-bopper but I can't act like I don't understand that approach either. C'est la vie. I believe Cosmopolis will have better promo stateside.

Here's the excerpt of the Rob mention but click the thumbnail to read the whole interview. Thank you Jean for emailing it to us :)

The film looks sumptuous and the Anglo-American cast is distinguished...The heart-throb Robert Pattinson as Duroy is more likeable and guileless than the Third Republic parvenu of the book. Maupassant said of him "he has no talent. He gets ahead by using women", and this aspect of Duroy's character is well brought out by Pattinson.

We are so ready for you, DuRob.

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: 2 MORE WEEKS!!!

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: 2 MORE WEEKS!!!

It is ALMOST HERE!!!!!! Yesterday, MTV debuted an exclusive Bel Ami clip with Robert Pattinson and Christina Ricci. It was sweet and sexy but we'll get to that in a minute. The other thing I noticed was the video had the incorrect VOD date. I think we all have May 4th etched in our brains at this point, correct?

Something else that was brought to my attention from a friend was for folks that plan to view Bel Ami on Amazon Instant Video. Bel Ami isn't listed yet on Amazon's coming soon list BUT all of Magnolia's other films that are currently in VOD status are viewable. This leads me to believe that there will be no problem viewing Bel Ami on May 4th through Amazon. I did a test run with a film and decided to ditch the long download time with iTunes and go with Amazon which lets you view the film INSTANTLY. If any of you are not going to view through your cable service, I'm recommending Amazon. There is a film, Apartment 143, that will be released on April 27th through VOD. I plan on checking Amazon on April 26th at 9pm PST to see if it updates with this film. I'll let you guys know how that turns out so we know if Amazon will be reliable on May 4th at 12am/May 3rd at 9pm PST.



We have a bit before we promote the June 8th theatrical release BUT Magnolia Pics continues to add more locations. I wanted to give you guys a heads up on some of the newer cities. Click HERE if you'd like to continue tracking the additions.



Now on to the show! Delicious LongJohnDuRob has a drink for you!
