SCREAMS THROUGH RPAU. WTF IS AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My two fave Bob’s in a film. Or should I say Bob & Rob. Honestly I’ve been praying that I will see the headline of DeNiro & Pattinson but I didn’t think it would be this soon.
OMFG!!!! ok no – I’ll be back when I can form actual sentences *and breathe*
GO ROB GO – just when you think May can’t be more EPIC – BOOM Mr De Niro joins in the fun. This is incredible – seriously. How thrilling….
What a freaking RIDE!!!! 🙂 *twirls through the internet*
DID I JUST DIE AND WAKE UP IN HEAVEN?!!!
Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH good news in one month? Wow. I’m speechless. Excited & speechless……

*cartwheels through RPAU continuously*

AHHHHHHH!!!! Are you kidding me? Rob and Bob in a gangster movie together? I die. I seriously DIE
Rob Pattinson HAS ARRIVED!!!! Well, for us he’s always been there, but apparently, it’s taken the rest of the world a couple more years to realise just how fantastic an actor he is. His initial fame from the Twi films caught our attention (some among us, earlier) but he’s steadily battled on taking on smaller, quieter roles that kept him under the radar for most movie-going folk (not us!). And now, because of the interest of a few outstanding and respected film-makers, it has brought his talent to the attention of critics and the rest of the movie world. OMG – De Niro…! Although, you know (and I’m not being smug or facetious) De Niro should be thinking, ‘OMG – I’m going to be in a film with ROB PATTINSON!!! I mean, the guy’s a legend, but well, he needs a younger audience, too! He’s guaranteed one with Rob!
Holy Shit… I am so friggin excited for him! And us! LOL WOOHOO!!!!
Rob and Bob…sooo cool!!!
