I saw New Moon opening day. It is a souless, spineless movie. They left the heart of the film on the cutting room floor –or rather, in the computer.Robert Pattinson looks constipated throughout the whole thing. I know he’s supposed to be a vampire craving blood. But that’s now how it came across. As Donald Rumsfeld would say, ‘There’s no movie there.’Whatever anyone might think. People don’t love the films (or rather, the film –as in the first one) because of Robert Pattinson and Kstew they love the films because they love Stephenie Meyer and the books. The studio could replace Pattinson and the kiddies would get over it because they would go to see Breaking Dawn just in the hope that it’s better than New Moon and Eclipse.

I think that’s been taken out of context or has been seriously misunderstood. I highly doubt Rob would just randomly say that because he’d probably lose the job for bad publicity or something.If you read the bit at the top “Pattinson compared Edward Cullen’s fan appeal to women’s age-old love affair with the bad boy.” – I think he’s saying that Edward isn’t the normal prince charming style nice guy. The Vampire thing makes him a bit quirky and weird but he still attracts women. – Because women love a bad boy lolHe’s not slating the character at all.

wow, what a stuck up prick. he’s the worst actor they could’ve possibly chosen to play edward. he can’t even act. and he doesn’t even relate to the character what-so-ever.

the stephenie meyer books have filled a vacuum in chick lit. and the edward cullen character is an appealing anti-hero to these readers.i think perhaps this quote has been taken from an older interview while he was promoting the first movie. as i followed the link suggested by a previous poster.i think what has made people respond to this particular actor is that he, unlike brad pitt, isn’t particularly politically minded and preachy and seems very un P.C. sort of like most normal people.we’re in a recession at the moment. and perhaps this is why fantasy books are selling really well. we all need a little break. and it’s great that the twilight series is like 2000 pages worth of escapismm.

I don’t understand.Why do we feel “sorry” for this brat?There are so many actors out there who will trade places with him in a second. He needs to grow up real quick to realize what he is saying.Sure, he is entitled to his own opinions but he needs to learn time/place to share certain opinion of his.As a huge Twilight book fan( I didn’t like the movie…acting was cheap and horrible. Charactors were disappointing), this comment he made certainly offended me.

It all comes down to how much people can handle. Some have mentioned how well Taylor has taken to his fame while Rob seems to want to keep away. Rob seems like he may just be more private. It is well known how shy he is. The evidence is in the interviews. Most of the time, Rob isn’t looking the interviewer in the eyes. He may also be sensitive to the fact that someone may get hurt in their endeavours to meet him. Hell, he’s probably worried about his own safety as well. If people weren’t so crazy he probably would not be reacting in this manner. I have met plenty of celebrities and as long as everyone is calm things usually go well. Try telling that to a screaming girl though. Maybe he should make friends with the Jonas Brothers and they can help him deal with it all.

First we have to examine where the original quote came from. And then wonder what part of the interview may have been left out.It does seem that he is dissing the character who has made him famous. Maybe since he’s not been acting for too long he doesn’t know how rare it is that a role comes along for an actor that transforms one’s career. It could also be because he realizes that the acting in Twilight and in that really horrible trailer for New Moon is actually quite bad.But these are fun campy vampire movies. Supernatural stuff. It’s great that the books have lead so many people to the internet to over analyze all of the characters and to project on Robert Pattinson, despite his being a very mediocre actor.

I only just began to understand this cult phenom recently when I picked up the books, and realized how completely the character Edward Cullen is written as an irresitible supernatural lover. The conventions Meyer uses have been used in literature for centuries – and they are as emotionally manipulative as they are true. While I don’t think that Edward would necessarily be an axe murderer (as if anyone’s opinion really matters) – the character is as dangerous as he is sexy, which makes him even sexier.So of course fans are dangerously overzealous about this fictional character, and of course Mr. Pattinson needs to deflect the insanity because it is getting out of hand (and was out of hand even before he jumped on board the Twlight train). And justifiably so.People need to learn to separate fantasy from reality – especially when dealing with actors who flirt with the boundaries so frequently. If we don’t, we may not get to enjoy future projects because the actors will pull out for mental/health reasons.
