Robert Pattinson talks about a few of his favorite things and sexual arousal
Yup. You read that title right. Sky Cine News did a video edit asking Rob and Kristen the same questions during their Cannes press junkets. The translation is under the cut because the video is dubbed. Gotta go to that zen space to hear Rob.

Excerpt from Indiewire/ThompsononHollywood:
Lately Canadian director David Cronenberg is tending toward talkier films, heavy on dialogue and discourse. "Cosmopolis," like "A Dangerous Method" (2011), imagines pseudo-intellectual characters prattling on about The Human Condition. But unlike "Method," which reduced its characters to pint-sized archetypes of psychoanalysis, "Cosmopolis" digs deep. The film is arranged episodically, as characters appear briefly and are unlikely to appear again—although Giamatti's character, a madcap employee of Eric, circulates with menace along the film's fringes.
...
The film bristles and crackles with ideas and insight, however half-baked or preposterous, about the world at large.
While Cronenberg has elicited nuanced, naturalistic performances from the likes of Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello and Naomi Watts ("A History of Violence," "Eastern Promises"), he often teases out intentionally stilted performances from his leads ("Crash," 1996). As Eric, the brooding Pattinson eroticizes every move, glance and revolver-spin. Travis Bickle is gliding beneath his dead stare. Although the profligate Eric professes ideas and obsessions, he is ultimately a wannabe nihilist. He asks one of his many girlfriends (Patricia McKenzie) to tase him, because he's ready for something new, because he wants to feel something besides empty sex and asymptotic human connection. A person who has everything, in effect, has nothing. That doesn't make Eric a deep person but, in the film's final stretches as he confronts his fate, something is roiling beneath that dark, handsome shell.
Excerpt from AVClub:
Whether the Competition jury will hand any prizes to Cosmopolis remains to be seen, but Robert Pattinson clearly deserves this year’s award for Best Career Move. Indeed, he’s among the half of David Cronenberg’s eclectic cast that completely nails the very tricky, precise tone demanded by Don DeLillo’s unapologetically inhuman dialogue.Excerpt from Slant:
Diamond-hard and dazzlingly brilliant, Cosmopolis alternates between mannered repression and cold frenzy, one of the ways in which it most closely resembles Cronenberg's prior A Dangerous Method.
Predicated on an absurd whim, Cosmopolis relates 28-year-old financial whiz and billionaire Eric Packer's (a surprisingly solid Robert Pattinson) daylong, cross-town quest for a haircut, despite repeated warnings about a credible threat against his life. Along the way, there will be time enough for sexual trysts, political demonstrations, a celebrity funeral, and the depredations of a "pastry assassin."Excerpt from the New York Times. This was a wrap of Cannes but the journalist defends Cosmopolis:
...
Everything leads up to a confrontation with a former employee (Paul Giamatti), the source of that aforementioned credible threat. By far the longest exchange in Cosmopolis's otherwise brisk forward rush, their loopy banter could easily have lost traction entirely and spun off into caricature, but Giamatti and Pattinson manage to keep it viable.
Another title that deserves a second look from critics is David Cronenberg’s latest, “Cosmopolis,” yet another under-loved competition title and a movie that will probably, as is often the case, be received more warmly when it opens commercially.Excerpt from film4. The critic was in favor of the film and had this to say about Rob:
...
Mr. Cronenberg does wonders with both the camera, especially inside the tight confines of limo, where many of the scenes are set, and with his star, coaxing a performance from Mr. Pattinson that perfectly works for the movie’s sepulchral air. Initially, when Packer slides into his limo, he seems like another master of the universe with shades, a bespoke suit and the otherworldly air of the super-rich. Yet as the limo inches across the city, where the traffic has been slowed to a creep by a presidential motorcade, a celebrity funeral and anarchist outrage, you begin to realize this is a man being chauffeured to his own funeral. As a diagnosis of what ails us, “Cosmopolis” would make an excellent if slightly nauseating double-bill with Mary Harron’s Wall Street horror shocker, “American Psycho.”
A bald reworking of the first line from the Communist Manifesto swaps Europe for the world and Communism for Capitalism: “A spectre is haunting the world, the spectre of Capitalism”; this is shown as part of an in-movie anti-establishment protest that is as extreme as it needs to be, underling the point that insanity may be the only sane response to an insane system.Excerpt from NPR. They gave Rob Most Unexpected Great Performance. Visit the source to read what else they said about Cosmopolis. It "won" another honor from NPR.
This is also why casting Robert Pattinson in this role is a stroke of mad genius. Apart from delivering a very fine performance, he is arguably the star currently inspiring some of the least sane responses in our culture. When, at the film’s climax, he is confronted with a maniac insisting “I know everything that’s ever been said or written about you. I know what I see in your face, after years of study,” it’s not hard to appreciate how brilliant – and perhaps cathartic – a role this is for him, one that figuratively interrogates the fame-capital he has accrued so far, Pattinson apparently as interested as Packer in the possibility of re-setting as something else. Casting him could have been a Warhol moment, using the image of an icon to make a point about fame, but Pattinson’s participation is too active to merit this back-handed compliment.
And it helps that the film contains the festival's Most Unexpected Great Performance from Pattinson. He's appropriately icy and reptilian, but he's not without an odd persuasive charm; when I say that the character functions like Gordon Gekko crossed with a more literal kind of bloodsucker, I mean it as praise.Excerpt from the Telegraph. They gave the film 4 out of 5 stars :)
At its heart is a sensational central performance from Robert Pattinson – yes, that Robert Pattinson – as Packer. Pattinson plays him like a human caldera; stony on the surface, with volcanic chambers of nervous energy and self-loathing churning deep below.Good thing we're not the Twilight fanbase around here, right? ;)
...
Cronenberg’s script is often oblique, and the film is talky and evasive – heaven knows what Pattinson’s Twilight fanbase will make of it. But its portrayal of civilisation as an impossibly intricate, crucially flawed equation, about to buckle and snap, is sinuously compelling.
Excerpt from Indiewire/Thompson on Hollywood:
Last night I caught a screening of David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis." Until then, can you believe I had never actually seen Robert Pattinson in a movie? I was surprised by his performance — cold, unfeeling, sexy, channeling some Travis Bickle in there. The film bristles with energy, ideas and confidence. The final scene, especially, is one of Cronenberg's best to date. This is his best work since "A History of Violence," and even though I'm guilty of unwavering auteur loyalty here — this guy could shit in a paper bag, and I'd be there — this film exceeded my expectations.Excerpt from NYMag/Vulture. FANTASTIC stuff about Rob:
Be sure to read more at the source. The critic goes on about Rob. :)"I'm hungry for something thick and juicy," growls Robert Pattinson at the start of Cosmopolis, and one can imagine Pattinson issuing the same order to his agents after years spent sinking his vampire teeth into wan Twilight flicks. His team earned their keep by landing Pattinson this David Cronenberg–directed movie and a berth at Cannes (where Kristen Stewart's On the Road premiered just a few days before). And yes, he's good in it.
In Cronenberg's adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel, Pattinson plays a boy billionaire who's already peaked (when someone asks his age, he contemptuously spits "28" as thought it were the new 40) and has nowhere to go but down over the course of one very long day. The thing is, Pattinson sort of seems to be enjoying his self-destruction, which comes as his limo is besieged by anti-capitalist protesters and as he consorts with several willing women who give him what may be the last lay of his life ... none of whom include his strategically withholding new bride (Sarah Gadon), whom he married in what was essentially a business merger between two families. When they briefly meet for a meal and Pattinson removes his sunglasses, his wife murmurs, "You never told me you were blue-eyed." Soul mates? Not quite.
Both Pattinson and Zac Efron have come to Cannes with the hopes of shaking up their heartthrob personas, but while Efron goes opaque in the eyes during crucial scenes in The Paperboy, Pattinson is able to convey a whole lot about his Cosmopolis character simply with a curdled sneer and a soul-sick gaze.
Excerpt from Toronto Sun.
Packer, very well played by Pattinson, would have made a good patient for the subjects of Cronenberg’s previous movie, A Dangerous Method. Doctors Freud and Jung would have loved to analyze this road warrior with their “talking cure” methods.No detailed Rob mention but that's good too. Focused on the film and ensemble of the cast and crew - which the critic said was "smartly chosen" and "expertly used". There's this great starting quote from Hammer to Nail: "David Cronenberg’s much-awaited adaptation of Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis is a mesmerizing, utterly cerebral inquiry into the current economic crisis as channeled by its main character’s slowly imploding mind."
We might quibble with the emphasis Cronenberg places on dialogue, on the staginess of his sets and on the relative lack of action.
What we can’t argue is that Cosmopolis is the work of a master filmmaker, one who is determined to have us think about the ideas packed into the trunk of this limo bound for the furthest corners of the psyche.

David Cronenberg stands up for Robert Pattinson + Cosmopolis press conference revisit
David Cronenberg sat down with the New York Times yesterday for a Q&A. Rob was mentioned and it made my heart swell:
The press conference was really good and you can tell when David goes to the mattress for Rob. In case you missed it, I'm reposting. There's so much PromoRob that came out of Cannes and certain things can't be missed. This is one of those things. The press con is lengthy but it's wonderful. IntellectualRob shines through his silly claims that he sounds like an idiot. No, Rob. You don't.
I also finally looked closely at the HQs (not the thumbnails) from the press conference. Good GOD.
LAWD now I'm pregnant.
Look at him listening! JE-sus...I could watch him listen for the rest of my life. *keening*
*cough* I had no control over my fingers cropping this...
I love this Rob smile...the one with those cute smile dimples that pop out when he's showing various smirks.

David Cronenberg sat down with the New York Times yesterday for a Q&A. Rob was mentioned and it made my heart swell:
Q: You seemed a bit exasperated at the press conference yesterday with some of the questions that were trying to connect Eric Packer to Robert Pattinson’s real life or his “Twilight” role.Overall good Q&A, click HERE to read in its entirety. I think David is Rob's biggest champion in the director department. Not like the others haven't praised Rob but David has gone more than the extra mile. I'm really excited to see their promotion for Cosmopolis in the next week. We have so much! (calendar on the side bar).
A. It’s the British press that tends to do that — it’s this Rupert Murdoch, News of the World thing that I hate. When that question came up for Rob [about the challenges of living a public existence] I felt like I had to counterattack a bit.
