365 Days of Robert Pattinson: Feb. 22 ~ Fave Georges Duroy pic

Since I've been on this Anna Karenina-period-film-with-a-seducer kick, revisiting DuRob all this month has been awesome. Bel Ami is one of my top fave Rob films and revisiting our favorite pics of Georges is perfect to me.

Kate:
"There are so many great Georges pics to choose from and when I wanted to make a Bel Ami Wallpaper a while ago deciding which pic to use was a major problem but I eventually chose the one above and it is still one of my firm favourites. So for that reason this is my choice for today. I can’t wait to see what everyone else chooses ;-))"



Tink:
"shameless. conniving. seductive. all wrapped up in a little smirk. i actually used my favorite pic of Georges Duroy earlier this month but this screencap has the same essence that i loved in the other pic. Rob conveys the raw and simple truth of Georges feeling entitled and how he will achieve his place by any means necessary - physically fighting and f*cking and plotting his way to where he belongs - at the top. i see all of that in this pic."

Kat:

"This one because of the hair flipping Rob trait :-) Love it when a little bit of RealRob sneaks into his characters."

365 Days of Robert Pattinson: Feb. 21 ~ Pic/gif of Rob that reflects your mood

Love these days! The three of us are ravenous, over-worked and lazy watching romantic, tragic period films.

Kate:
"I’m not sure why but I’ve been eating all day and I’m still hungry o.O I just can’t seem to fill my stomach! "

Kat:

"v. busy at work, pulled in a million directions, this sums it up!"

Tink:
"i have the day off today and get to lounge around on the couch and finally watch my Anna Karenina BluRay. Joe Wright (director) has a thing for hands in his films and since i already see Rob as Count Vronsky - especially since IMDb claims he was considered - all these handsy scenes will feel like Rob to me…among other scenes *cough*. and not that i didn’t think Aaron Johnson was great…i really liked him as Vronsky. but im ROBsessed not Aaronsessed. i shall be envisioning Rob. :)"

Philadelphia Weekly says Robert Pattinson was robbed of an Oscar Best Actor nod for Cosmopolis + Best Of 2012 lists galore!

Philadelphia Weekly says Robert Pattinson was robbed of an Oscar Best Actor nod for Cosmopolis + Best Of 2012 lists galore!

Recently in Philadelphia Weekly, they made a list of Oscar odds-on favorites and a hypothetical list of this year's best (and "best") films.

They paid Rob a compliment by including him in their Best Actor category and making note of his skills with DeLillo's language in the Best Adaption category:

Best Actor 

Who should have won overall: As much as I want to say Denis Lavant, for his literally shape-shifting work in Holy Motors, no performance was as exciting as Tim Heidecker’s raging wealthy dickhead routine in The Comedy. And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Robert Pattinson wuz robbed—for Cosmopolis, not Breaking Dawn 2.
 

Best Adapted Screenplay 

What should have won overall: David Cronenberg’s script for Cosmopolis makes great a so-so Don DeLillo novel, although its real power emerged when the actors came to speak their lines. Who knew Robert Pattinson was put on earth to deliver overly-stylized DeLillo dialogue?


The recognition Cosmopolis and Rob continues to get makes you proud. This is the most recent edition of an ongoing list I'm collecting on CosmopolisFilm. The lists have evened out so it's good to share now without missing some great ones. If you click the links, some of the critics have praised the film and more. I included excerpts of the ones that dished specific praise for Rob.

BEST FILM RANKINGS

• The Cinephiliacs/Peter Labuza: Number 1 film of 2012!
• Cinemart: Number 1 Film of 2012! "Cosmopolis is as talky as a screwball comedy and as visually wild as only cinema can be. David Cronenberg’s timely dissection of the haves and pseudo masters of the universe features an assured performance from Robert Pattinson as a man who just wants to get a haircut and ends up on an increasingly distracted quest that takes in existential angst, free market economics, a spot of casual murder, romance, sex, a prostate examination and anti-capitalism protests. A truly special work that demands you pay attention all the way, this one will stick in your head for weeks."
• City Connect: Number 1 Film of 2012! 
• Art Forum/Amy Taubin: Number 1 film of 2012!
• San Francisco Bay Guardian: Number 1 film of 2012!

• Smells Life Screen Spirit: 7th out of 10
• Movie Mezzanine: 7th out of 50
• White City Cinema: 8th out of 10 "Robert Pattinson excelled as the despicable billionaire whose plight becomes both moving and tragic as the movie inexorably heads to its haunting final shot, an image more emblematic of our times than any other I saw this year."
• Sight & Sound: 8th out of 10
• The Bloodshot Eye: 8th out of 20
• Movie City News: 9th out of 10
• Arizona Newszap: 9th out of 10 
• Movie Maker: 9th out of 12
• Processed Grass: 9th out of 66 "Guess what? I'm not super familiar with Cronenberg's stuff either. I've seen his past couple of recent films, and a while ago I saw Dead Ringers which I really didn't like, but with Cosmopolis I have reason to dig a bit farther back in to his filmography. I did love the talky nature of both this and A Dangerous Method, as a lover of theatre I can admire what happens when a film simply gives its actors a dense script and asks me to take it all in, though what Cronenberg does with his camera, making this confined limo just look so diverse, is much more impressive. There's this tense dichotomy between this safe space and an outer world in turmoil, that makes the collision of the two, both physically and found in Pattinson's performance, all the more intense."
• The Gerogie Show: 10th out of 10
• Chicago Reader: 10th out of 10
• Cinemablend: 10th out of 10
• Yuppee Mag: 10th out of 10"Cosmopolis as you may have already gathered follows the story of one man, that man is Eric Packer, played by Robert Pattinson in what turns out to be the best performance of his young career by a considerable distance....The movie is buoyed by some fantastic performances; Pattinson has finally sunk his claws into a role whilst Paul Giamatti is fantastic as a former employee of Packers in an incredibly tense end scene."
• Time Out New York: 10th out of 10

• Compulsory Internet Presence: 10th out of 10 - "A grand, weird, bold effort even by Cronenberg’s standards, this film is an absolutely mesmerizing adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel.  I could speak here about how timely the film is with its unsparing critique of capitalist society.  Or how Robert Pattinson delivers an astonishingly assured performance that hopefully portends a career full of them."
• In Review Online: 10th out of 20
• Screen Crush: 12th out of 20 
• Slant Magazine: 13th out of 25"From his rolling command center of a white limousine, the WiFi hot spot of the obscenely rich, billionaire Eric Packer (a revelatory Robert Pattinson) is at once linked up to the world and maddeningly removed from it, his personal, untried revolving door granting equal access to wisdom and delusion, personified by the limo's parade of guests. Evoking its director's past aesthetics and bodily interests with cool restraint, Cosmopolis is a wry, stylish nightmare of contemporary disconnect, and an audacious charting of all that crumbles when reality seeps in."
• NY Film Society: 15th out of 20
• Film Comment: 15th out of 50
• The Village Voice: 16th 
• Indiewire Critics Poll: 18th out of 50
• Sound on Sight: 20th out of 40 
• Criterion Corner: 24th out of 25
• Total Film: 37th out of 50

• Buzzine: 1 of the top 5 Indie movies"Reading much like a play, where characters stare off into space and seem to be speaking in riddles, Cosmopolis’ stark tones and direction fuse with a surprisingly confident performance from Twilight’s vampiric hunk Robert Pattinson to create yet another intriguing controversial masterpiece from the iconic Cronenberg."
• The Password is Swordfish: 1 of 2 favorites for 2012"Cosmopolis is a dark, hilarious, yet intensely sobering reminder of the nature of things, and as a film lover, it creates a marriage between DeLillo, Cronenberg, and Pattinson that I would love to see continue."
• Dread Central: Named Cosmopolis among the top 5 Best of 2012"David Cronenberg's misunderstood character study shows us how the 1% can be the most dangerous creatures of all. Robert Pattinson finally breaks away from those godawful Twilight movies, giving a powerhouse performance as a sociopathic Wall Street tycoon who is truly off his rocker. It's a claustrophic head journey through a class-warfare apocalypse and a step back in the right direction for one of this genre's greatest visionaries. "
• Shoot the Critic: 1 of 6 in no order - "Robert Pattinson steps up to the challenge of playing the twisted, self-doubting, masochistic, and sexually insatiable protagonist. He has lots of sex, philosophizes on life, gets lectured on art and theory, faces death, kills, and gets half a hair-cut - among other activities, all shot in a typically artificial yet beautiful Cronenberg way."
• CineTalk: 1 of 10 in no order"David Cronenberg adapts Don DeLillo’s pessimistic novel almost page for page and its tone and intellectual hyperbole is matched by Cronenberg’s cold and arresting visual palette. Robert Pattinson is outstanding in the lead role and Paul Giamatti, who only appears for a short while, delivers one of his most memorable performances."
• Chicagoist: 1 of 10 in no order
• TIFF: 1 of 10 best Canadian films of 2012

OVERLOOKED RANKINGS

• The London Film Review: Number 1 out of 10 most overlooked films of 2012!
• Badass Digest: 3 out of 10 underrated movies of 2012
• Cinemablend: 1 of the 12 most unfairly overlooked films of 2012
• The Film Stage: On a list of overlooked films in 2012"This one’s been stewing in my brain for months, and none of the reflection has tainted this film one bit; if anything, it’s only grown more valuable over time. David Cronenberg’s limousine trip into the damaged perspective of a young, emotionally hollow fat cat — played to perfection by a not-as-advertised Robert Pattinson — can’t really be considered the most accessible work of 2012, but those willing to go with its strange rhythms and mysterious internal logic are bound to get… something. While I think it’s best people make the thing out for themselves by just letting it all sit, those simply hoping for a left-of-center cinematic experience ought to find themselves more than pleased. And that’s without even considering the incredible music of Howard Shore & Metric."
• Moviefone: On a list of 10 best films you didn't see in 2012
• TV without Pity: On a list of best films you may have missed"David Cronenberg and Robert Pattinson may seem like an unlikely team, but they each benefitted from their partnership. Pattinson got some much-needed acting cred for his darkly funny performance as a Master of the Universe who embarks on a surrealistic journey through the streets of New York, while Cronenberg was able to use his star's box-office power to make this challenging movie his way -- Cosmopolis features some of the most stylish and inventive direction of his career. Considering how well this movie worked out, we wouldn't object to a Cronenberg and Pattinson reunion."

365 Days of Robert Pattinson: Feb. 20 ~ Pic of Rob with shorter hair or buzz



Rob wanted a haircut! And we love his look when he gets one.

Kat:

"this was an easy one for me. Has to be this, guitarporn included!"

Kate:
"I LOVE buzz cut Rob so much. Don’t get me wrong I totally love the sex hair too, he can wear it anyway he wants and still look stunning. But when he has a buzz cut his fabulous features shine through just like in his Berlin Portrait pic….. Stunning"


Tink:
"gah. GAH. GAAAAAAAH. *cries*"

Sarah Gadon, Max Irons & Jake Abel, All Talking About Robert Pattinson

Sarah Gadon, Max Irons & Jake Abel, All Talking About Robert Pattinson



A little round-up of people talking about Rob.
First up, Sarah Gadon mentioned working with Rob in this months "In Style" magazine about how she "forgot" what a big star Rob is. I guess it's easily done where Rob is concerned ;-)

Here's the excerpt from the article where Rob is mentioned. Thanks so much to Darja for sending us the scans

Celebrity is a subject she is becoming more and more familiar with. Recounting a story about R-Pattz, she confesses, "There are those surreal moments when you think, 'Wow, I worked with that person!'"
The two appeared on a French talk show, and Sarah recalls, "It was nuts. There were so many fans. In my head I was thinking 'Oh yeah, I guess I forgot you're this massive movie star'."

VMan did a spread featuring Max Irons and Jake Abel and they were asked about becoming the next Robert Pattinson

Here are the excerpts with the Rob mentions:

With this films they both enter that small pool of actors that have a shot at becoming the next Pitt or Depp. But these days everyone is asking..... Can you become the next Robert Pattinson?

Max: “It is a very lazy comparison, because Twilight was a phenomenon unto itself. Pattinson was chased down the streets of Paris before the films even came out. And he is doing well for himself. He has about five films with acclaimed directors lined up.(Kate: Well done Max. You're paying attention!)

Jake: “A lot of people expect us to knock the Twilight cast. But Taylor Lautner is a really nice kid. Robert Pattinson, I couldn’t imagine the tremendous amount of pressure he was under — and he earned my respect when I saw him fight for certain projects. Water for Elephants is a great novel, the movie is what it was. That’s not his fault. That’s the risk; we’re the face of projects.” (Kate: It was exactly what you would expect from a great novel...... A great movie!)

Both name check highbrow directors and repeatedly mention how Twilight paved the way for Pattinson to work with David Cronenberg on "Cosmopolis"
