Well we are definitely counting down 2010 here in Oz. Â I know both Michelle and Vertigo have treats in store for you, so I thought I would kick off farewell to 2010 by doing what I always do and that is updating my 6 month review and looking back over Rob’s success for the entire year. Â Rob without a doubt has an incredible 2011 ahead of him. Â I heard the funniest thing the other day, that some Twilight fans think that if it wasn’t for Twilight we all wouldn’t know who Rob was. Â Well I beg to differ since if it wasn’t for Rob, I would still think that Twilight was the time of day just after sunset. Â I understand that the movies may have introduced him to a new fan base, but for us at RPAU and also a lot of our followers, Rob has ALWAYS been on our radar since Cedric. Â Personally, I think the Twihards should thank Hardwicke & Meyers for introducing them to someone who is actually going to be one of the greats of Hollywood – and not actually finding an “unknown” as they would like to believe. Â Let’s face it all they have to do is look towards 2011 and the evidence is already there – I mean even his indie film “Remember Me” was a fantastic success which is more than I can say for others. Â So for those of us who appreciate Rob the actor and not some saga, or the pathetic bickering that it involves, let’s look back on Rob’s greatness in 2010 and just revel in what Rob has in store for us in 2011. Â I’m pretty sure there will be loads of critics silenced.
PS. Â I’ve only put the last 3 in because imagine tomorrow when we can say – WFE and BA this year *gigglesuncontrollably*.
Sources on tagged pics and of course the wonderful QuantummFizzx for that amazing amazing pic from the LA Twi Conference and of course, RPSource, Linda and Setje from Pattinsonlife for all the HQ goodness throughout the year. Â I wish you all an absolutely amazing 2011 – I know Rob’s making mine unforgettable – so HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our affiliates, friends and followers who help us to enjoy the very special man – Happy New Year Rob.
Maria, thank you so much for putting this AMAZING Rob 12 months in review together. I know how much work you put into it & it truly shows. I absolutely LOVE looking back over all the brilliance Rob has achived each year. 2010 has been such a wonderful year – makes me smile so much looking at all these beautiful pics & all the memories that go along with them. I absolutely CANNOT wait for 2011 – it is going to absolutely beyond words BRILLIANT. Am just so so excited. Hehehe tomorrow, we can say we’ll be seeing W4E & BA this year *claps hands*
To the Twilight fans who say that if it weren’t for Twilight we wouldn’t know who Rob is – are you serious???? Ah actually I have something to tell you – if it weren’t for Rob playing Edward in the saga, I would have absolutely ZERO idea what Twilight was & couldn’t care less about it – ZERO interest. HIS involvement is why I read the books & why I have watched the past three movies & will see the remaining two – yes for Rob! Ever since I saw Rob as Cedric back in 2005 I have adored him & have appreciated & loved all the brilliant work he has done since. Yes, we & anyone with a brain have known for a long long time now how talented Rob is. It’s time you woke up people & stopped being so stupid with your silly comments. Really – it’s just laughable to say such a comment that is so far from the truth, not to mention extremely insulting to Rob & all his previous brilliant work!
Thank you so much once again Maria for this amazing tribute to Rob’s brilliance in 2010 – 2011 here we come 😀 I cannot wait to share the excitement of W4E & BA with you all & of course all the fanastic future roles Rob has in store for us. Happy New Year to all our special friends – love you all & of course Happy New Year to you Rob – the beautiful man that we celebrate together every day.
These pics just reinforce how great 2010 has been. I love
the year in review post, it gives us the chance to relive the excitement all over again!!!
I have said many times that I loved the Twilight books but the ONLY reason to see the films for me is Rob!!! He made those movies not the other way !!!! Anyone who has seen his other movies would know how talentd he is and that has nothing to do with Twilight!!!
Now my rant is over I want to say thank you to the three brilliant women to who work so hard to keep us up to date with all things Rob. I know i’ve said it before but this site has been a godsend to me in more ways than you will ever know!!!
Happy New Year to everyone, good health and much happiness for everyone. It is going to be an absolutely amazing ride!!!
Rob, thank you for being who you are and I cannot wait to see what you have in store. WFE and BA are just the beginning!!!
@Maria & @Michelle I couldn’t have said it better if I tried. Perfectly said. I was a late bloomer when it came to Rob, but once I saw him in “Little Ashes” I was addicted, obsessed. Until today still my favorite movie, I mean I love him in everything he’s done, but when I saw “Little Ashes” I saw what a brilliant actor he is and what amazing talent he has. Maria again forgive me for my stupidness with the Twi-nonsense, and when I’m in Aussie someday you can still kick my ass. Actually girls and I swear I’m being totally honest the Twilight Saga is my least favorite and if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be watching them. I wish everyone of you girls a great New Year may God bless you all and bring many blessing in the coming year. Well at least we already know of 3 that are for sure. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonder site, I’m so blessed to have found it. Like I said it my happy forget the everyday bullshit of my life place. Thank you so very much girls. Luv ya! <3 <3 <3
Oh and Maria you montage, just stunning as always. What a beautiful way to end the year.
Fantastic montage Thanks Maria ox. Happy 2011 to all oxox
@Vicky ITA with you, it was Godsend as well for me. For a while there I thought I was losing my mind, and when I found this website, it was like I found my sanity. God did put me here for a reason, I guess I was saved here. So to you 3 brilliant women I raise my glass and wish you nothing but happiness, health, and wealth. And I will never thank you enough. And to the rest of you beautiful women, I wish you the same. And Robert may God Bless you always, and always remain humble, kind, and don’t ever lose that adorable sense of humor you have. May the new year bring you nothing but happiness.
It has been a busy 2010 for Rob. We get to experience a part of that in the wonderful movies that we get to see in 2011. Rob is the link. Twilight opened many doors for Rob, but if he didn’t have the talent, these quality projects, we are so looking forward to, would never be offered to him.
Handsome men and women are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. Rob stands out from the pack for his talent and the sheer quality of his personality. Listen to him talk (Leno anyone?) and try not to be charmed.
No one needs an excuse to follow/ love/ obsess over Rob. It’s the ones that don’t do any of these things that astound me.
Maria, Michelle and Vertigo – The Rob Gurus – My humble respect and gratitude for all you do.
To everyone, I hope 2011 gives you all you need and I look forward to spending time with you all in our happy place.
@CaRmel well said. My thoughts exactly.
Thanks for a great year gelz. This 12 months in review was just a treat before heading out for a hot, sweaty NYE – but now none of the other men will compare! RPAU is my favourite after work treat. Have a great NYE and a fabulous 2011.
A beautiful montage @Maria. He has had such busy but rewarding year and that is only what i think. Imagine what he is feeling. Rob should be incredibly proud of what he has achieved this year. I can not wait for what he has in store for us next year. 2010 was the year his actor collegues took notice. 2011 is when he’ll cement his position as a hollywood heavy weight and the talented actor we know he is.
Thanks @Carmel. Rob is an enigma that is for sure and a breath of fresh air in that industry. I totally agree with everything you have said. I think this is why we all feel comfortable here at RPAU – it’s not a frivolous obsession that we have – it is an appreciation of an artist and we can look past the pretty – although Rob sometimes, just sometimes, you make that almost impossible *giggles*.
Wow what a year it has been and next year is only going to get better!! Can’t freakin wait!
Rob will always have his critics, why? Because he is just that damn good! Amazingly talented, funny, intelligent and beautiful on the inside and out and completely oblivious to all of it. He has the whole world at his feet and I suspect by this time next year a lot of those critics will be eating their words.
An awesome montage Maria to celebrate an amazing year for Rob and I have enjoyed cheering every one of those steps at RPAU.
Happy New Year to my RPAU family, where would I be without you all! Maria, Michelle and Vertigo you guys thrill and amaze me every day with your talent and dedication to Rob and this site. Am proud to call you my friends *group hug*
Rob hope you are as proud as yourself as we all are here and next year is going to be a special one for you. Love, health and happiness to you!
Now for god sakes will someone pop that cork, grab the glasses and lets get this party started!
first thanks for this and i dont know Rob only from the saga and i love only Edward but thin i start to say no Robert then no Edward i full in love with the saga bout Robert is some thing not like any one and u all make as know that we are withe him in ever step he made for the up coming years
i found my self hear withe u all u r my new friends for this new year and i wish to visit Australia so much take care all
Beautiful montage! Happy New Year!
Amazing montage, Maria! It’s been quite a year for Rob and 2011 will be even more exciting with WFE and BA.
@lise-lou: I do hope the critics will be eating their words.
Maria, Michelle, Vertigo…Happy New Year and thanks for making RPAU such a great place to share the Rob love. 🙂
Thanks @Suze – we hope 2011 is an exceptional year for you! Mwah
*waves to all* Very well said everyone and the main thread through it all is that it’s Rob’s pure talent and personality that outshines everything. The saga was just a stepping stone, perhaps even a time machine. I believe Rob would have got there eventually, thanks to as we all know his hard work and talent which carries him. I also believe that Rob will achieve the very tough task of shaking off being remembered as Edward. No pressure Rob, but when you are standing up making that acceptance speech at the Academy Awards, it will not be the bouffant haired 17 year old in Twilight they will be thinking of.
@Carmel, Leno is a perfect example of his natural persona that keeps us on the edge of our seats. How can they not be charmed, it’s baffling.
Cheers to all! Between the M&M’s, Rob and you ALL, I have my safe haven and THANK you all from the bottom of my heart and soul for sharing this wonderful experience.
Amazeballs!
Maria – I am blown away by the power of this montage. I would like to frame the entire post and comments. Rob has made us proud and you all rock. xoxox
@Vertigo thank u – just imagine how amazing this year’s 12 months is going to be – especially with that pic of Rob out on our harbor for reals. Yeah for our old followers u will remember I am a huge fan of positive thinking
So be it.
