Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Anglophilia > Robert Pattinson
"I'd love to (star in a romantic comedy) but they're always just so rubbish. I mean It's like… I'd absolutely love to do it but I've literally never read a good rom-com script… I think it's such a typical career choice for me as well to be honest - if you do a big franchise thing, especially for English guys, you know, (it's natural to) try and do a Hugh Grant part or something, which I don't think would be the best idea for me, mainly because it's quite hard to be Hugh Grant."

Um, he's bitching about the plots? Has he even LOOKED at some of the movies he's been in?!
I've read that 4 times and still have no idea what he's trying to say.
I watched him say this lol….i do hate Hugh Grant though with his voice arghhh, kinda do love the quote.
luv ya rob but wtf was remember me then?
So, he's clever enough to see that most rom-coms are bullshit, which they are, but somehow unable to see Twilight for the hilarious crap that it is? strange.
LOL~! Most of the films he's in are rubbish.
@April 20th actually, Remember Me isn't a romantic comedy, it's a drama. "Don't judge a movie by its trailer"
So, let me get this right. This dude would rather be in a movie so gay, that his character litterally throws off rainbows (aka sparkles in the sun) with another dude who has dick-sucking lips (what's his fucking face Taylor-something or other) than be in a movie in which he actually appears to enjoy a vagina every now and then? Take a shower, stinky.
Re: CouCou – Dram-Rom-Com?
Yeah he is right he is no Hugh Grant
He is in Budapest (Hungary) filming a movie and the girls are going CRRRAAZZZYYY!!!!
this guy obviously didn't finish high school. wtf is he blathering about? let's try to put a sentence together, duh!
So Twilight's script is not crap? Oh, wait, he knows it is but it gives him fame and money so he's fine with that. Now that he's become famous, he's being picky.
Doesn't he know his fans love him mainly because of his looks? I think romantic comedy is just right for him-he'd just need to show his face (no acting necessary) and his fangirls would scream and go buy his film.
OMG… he's struck me with dumb!
I still don't get why people adore this skanker, He looks like he got hit in the face with a shovel. What the fuck am I missing,? Aside from shitty taste
So. . . He won't star in a romantic-comedy because they're all rubbish. But he'll star in all of those Twilight movies that are BEYOND rubbish! Wow. He must be a little delusion about his career choices.
hes right, romantic comedies blow
Re: April 20th – Remember Me was a romantic DRAMA, not a romantic COMEDY…in the film industry they make a huge differentiation between the two genres — even in determining the budget and expected revenues…Romantic comedies have a consistently cute/comedic script and a happy ending…Remember Me had little comedy and a sad ending…very unusual in Hollywood…they hardly make Romantic Dramas anymore because there's little audience for it…
You people are being silly. When he signed up for Twilight, he couldn't afford to be picky then. And he has to do the rest of the Twilight movies. All he's saying is that a lot or rom coms are rubbish, which they are. And Rob is a million times better than Hugh Grant anyways.
Re: lol777 – Re: CouCou – sorry to all….read the post wrong…..got excited to see the first rob post in weeks i suppose……i don't fucken know……
Well Remember Me ws NOT a romantic comedy and I agree with hi they are almost all dreadful!
He should do an offbeat rom com, not the formulaic type. Something like (500) days of Summer!
rom-com, reliazing that you are not Hugh Grant. Always new u were a smart boy!
DUDE!"" you dont want to be Hught Grant and end up having a blow-job with any skank out there…:S…… I do understand that moving into the rom-com thing would be the next step in your career…still you'd find it useful, esp given that you don't have that many movies in your story….
I dunno why but Gerard Butler comes to my mind right now .. :O
man, finish up those horrific twilight films and then take care of your reputation as an actor. remember me is a good start.
i honestly believe pattinson has the potential to be a really good actor. he just absolutely NEEDS to get rid of the edward role and avoid being typecast. leonardo di caprio got rid of his "baggage" from titanic (and, in a way, romeo+juliet) and now is regarded as one of the best actors of this generation. maybe rob can do the same. we'll see..
don't go into rom com genre tho, please. no one will ever take you seriously.
youre posh so thats about 90% of what hugh grant is already covered
Yeah, because Twilight is such an AMAZING story. Please.
i love robert pattinson, and personally, he never should've taken the role of "Edward Cullen". . although it was a smart career move
hes cute but needs 2 shut up lol
Didn't see any of the "Moon" movies. Perhaps study Christopher Walken? Maybe a well scripted bad boy flick. That might make an appeal to older audiences…it would have to be well done. Something independent.
okay retards. you guys are really stupid
he knows the twilight movies are crap, but he never expected them to be as big as they are….
though i am a huge fan of both the movies and the books, i know that the movies always fall short…and so does he
wtf, is it a CRIME for one to hold an OPINION these days?
get over it, it's his opinion. and romcoms are utter crap!!
He needs to finish up doing the twilight (spew) and become a proper actor. At the moment he is going to type casted because he's english and he's doing romantic movies.. He can't complain though, making a shit load of money in the mean time..
Robert would be awesomeness in a romantic/comdey. I hope some day he WILL do one. He's freaking adorable. Very snogable. Love his giggle, too cute. I love him as Edward. I know a lot of people hate those movies, but I think they're fun. I'm gonna have a twilight party when all the movies come out on dvd. I'd invite you all, but I doubt you'd wanna come! Pahahahaa! *Now, where's my sparkle dust?*
Re: Spindoc – he's been in good movies though…except for twilight.
Even as a fan of the books, the movies just don't do it for me.
Either way, he's actually a pretty good actor.
Of ALL people he has NO room to talk about bad scripts! I have yet to see him in a GOOD film (with the exception of Harry Potter 4 and his role was very small).
Anyways, isn't twilight a romantic comedy?? I know I laughed when I watched it online.
Actually, he was in a good movie before twilight, and not that Harry Potter one … he was in How To Be. Man, I love that movie. He's sooo cute in it.
This guy is running neck and neck with Doherty for the dirtiest looking human alive.
I think RPats has body dysmorphia. He clearly does not understand how attractive he is to the: a. female species b. male gay species. He needs to do something where he's funny, flirty, and sexy. Enough of this pouty shit. I've had it. Remember Me? No, I won't. I refuse to remember a movie like that. Shiteous.
Re: heyjennyj14 – The movies suck. But he is so gorgeous, so he fits the bill. I love the books. I wish PBS or BBC would do a Twilight production so all of the dialogue could be filmed and he was recast in them. He is really good in Little Ashes, How to Be, and even there was a BBC piece he did…something Pilot I can't remember. He was weird and good in that too. Twilight just needs to be redone. Badly.
first of all has anyone smelled r for real if they dont like the smell dont get close love him or get out dont pick nits i usualy try to be polite but quit id love to see r in a romantic comedy true i would be tempted to compare him with hugh grant another hoootie i love ya r i will cuddle with you smelly or not
