I was in the audience for the screening of How To Be and thoroughly enjoyed the movie though what I have to say has not so much to do with the movie but your ‘waxing lyrical’ of Rob.

I am not going to pick apart this or any other character he has created through the medium of film, however I feel it prudent to voice my opinion of the perfection everyone speaks of with regards to either, he as a person or his roles. It is getting more than a little wearing.

This is in no way meant to show any disregard to his performances or ability to create however I think someone needs to make a point of this crazily high level of fanaticism that is revolving him of late. It would, in some ways, be nice to read something about him where a constructive criticism was made as opposed to yet another gushing review or comment.

I do not anticipate this opinion to necessarily go down all that well but I believe it to be a realistic and exigent.

*hides from all the screaming fangirls*

Kat – thanks for your comments – they are appreciated. I’m far from a screaming fangirl, but this is a fansite hence the fanatacism. We just don’t post negative or critical comments about Rob on this site. We will leave that to the gossip mags.

Meeting you girls was the best thing for me, in the whole evening :)! Even better than seeing the movie, and I did enjoy the movie very much!

I hope it is released at least on DVD, as one viewing is certainly not enough, especially for a foreigner like me.
I’m sure there are a lot of things I did not pick up and I look forward to watching it again, whether in theatres or in the comfort of my home.

Thank you so very much once again for all your efforts!

To Kat: no screaming here, for sure. I agree with you. It’s always good to maintain a certain objectivity and making a critique does not mean dissing a person.

Hi Athena, it was wonderful to finally meet the girl with the most articulate comments in this blog.

I know your HTB review would be one to be reckoned with, even if I haven’t seen it yet.

Maybe we can meet again? I was thinking of getting everyone together if LA gets screened, or even New Moon.

Apologies for the MIA, I’ve been hanging to get back online and send waves to all.

I can’t thank the organisers enough for putting together such an awesome event. The atmosphere was at a major high throughout and I’m so thrilled, what an absolute treat to have met you ALL.
Hugs to the surprise that is Athena. 🙂 (sorry hun, can’t help myself)

Rob delivers the goods and there are many HTB scenes to be loved and re-lived. A highlight for me was the pep-talk to the mirror. Rob showed his ability to take you on this characters journey, to feel it with all it’s weight, then bring [busting at the seems kind of] joy when witnessing the beauty of Art’s acknowledgement of self… I was floored. No wonder Oliver would like to work on another project with Rob, the combination of their efforts shine onscreen.

Can’t wait for the dvd!

Yikes, I have so much to catch up on.

Another get together Cilla? I hope so. 🙂

Cilla, thanks! Now I’m blushing :D! Truth is that I really love English, as a language, and try to do my best not to butcher it! Hahaha!

I would love to meet you girls again! Whether for Little Ashes, New Moon or to just hang out, I’m all up for it! 🙂

Vertigo: rib-cracking hugs back at ya! 😀
