If you read one post this week, it’s the analysis and review of The Rover by Meraj Dhir. I believe this is the most articulated analysis and review I have ever read of any film let alone it being about my personal favourite film of 2014. And we know I see a lot of films - The Rover is still at the top of my 2014 list. And in case you wonder about Meraj, his bio on FashCam states “[Meraj] is a PhD candidate in the History of Art and Architecture and Film Studies at Harvard University. He specializes in modern and contemporary art as well as having written extensively on European and American cinema.” Impressive. His comment about Rob’s performance “skilfully interiorized & physically nuanced performances of the year”.  Yep. And a lovely guy who tweeted with me and was genuinely appreciative. I have bookmarked FashCam and am now following Meraj on Twitter and look forward to his reviews. On a not so positive note. Boo Tim Roth. The planets just aren’t aligning with my favourite actors and Rob other than Charlie Hunnam, but hey I’ll believe that’s happening when they are into week 1 of filming *lookstotheheavens*. But in case I was still clinging onto hope even though Tim’s name was removed from IMDbPro, the cast and crew photo that surfaced most definitely dashed that. Oh well at least I’m a Game of Thrones fan so Liam is a bonus. Since we’re talking bonuses, how cool are those photos of Rob’s Trek bike. As you will no doubt glean from the interview, the bike’s new owner is a hoot and an incredibly generous and amazing person. Rob’s lucky to have her as a fan and we are fortunate to have met her thanks to her fondness of Rob, but as for her identity *zipslips*.  You all also, undoubtedly, know that Rob didn’t win Best Supporting Actor at the Canadian Screen Awards – congratulations John Cusack, you were, after all, on screen a lot longer than Rob. Hopefully Rob will get the nod this Tuesday at the Australian Film Critics Circle Association Awards *givesevileyetowaterdiviner*. In case you think I’ve been quiet on the site, I’ve been busy updating release dates for Maps to the Stars, checking box office and also tidying up and updating some of RPAU’s pages. I’m taking advantage of this quieter week because I can almost feel Dior gearing up to slay us with their new shoot or whatever it is they’re planning to unleash. If you click on the Music tab, you will see that I’ve added videos and articles of Rob’s actual music whether it be from movie soundtracks or impromptu appearances at SoFaR.  I have also rewritten Rob’s bio page “Robert” to include career biography, philanthropy and awards|nominations. I also tidied up the “Books” section sorting through the reading lists for books adapted into Rob’s film and also books actually read by Rob (which back before iPads we actually saw Rob carrying or he has spoken about in interviews). You will see I’ve renamed it The Robert Pattinson Bibliotheque and there are links to all books if you want to read a synopsis. Yeah, it’s been busy behind the scenes! So that’s it from me for now. Fingers crossed we hear some good news on Tuesday night re Rob’s nomination, but until next week ….

Well, I can safely say that Maria is a lot more productive in a quieter week than I am in a month. I especially look forward to looking over the Bibliotheque page. Awesome work Maria
And an extra thank you to Rob’s Benefactor for sharing her piece of Rob history and helping with RFDS. I still can’t get over the bike having it’s own room. I hope this is true soooo much
Yeah, we’ve all been thinking about just how slack you’ve become lately, Maria …….. LMAO.
Quite frankly, just READING about what you’ve been doing exhausts me on a regular basis ~ and I don’t think I’m the only one!
I so agree with you re Meraj and his review of The Rover ~ a great read.
Oh, & Dior, if you’re reading this, we’re ready-and-waiting for you to slay us again. Yes, yes, yes please.
As always, your efforts are much appreciated, Maria. You seem to have taken up the job of being Rob’s archivist – when he’s an old man, he can look back on all his amazing achievements in one awesome document. Lucky man to have such dedicated fans. As for Dior…! *rubs hands in gleeful anticipation*
Thanks so much for putting this together for us as usual Maria, such a great week AGAIN!! 🙂 totally agree re that review of The Rover, just a wonderful read from start to finish too. I’ve been blown away by the changes being made behind the scenes and which are now being unleashed gradually…. Such a joy to just dip in here and there for some truly fantastic reading on Rob and his career to date. I’m in awe!! There aren’t enough words to say thank you for everything!! ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘:-)
Exciting times here, as always 🙌🙌ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
