Will sticky post this for a few days – scroll down to see new posts

Do you live in Sydney?  Are you dying to see Water for Elephants for the first time or possibly fifth in a theatre that will transport you back to that time?

I know we’ve  already seen it twice.  Yes Michelle, Vertigo, Lise-Lou & myself needed to see it again and were lucky enough to attend one of the RITZ’s special screenings on Saturday.  For those who are yet to experience Jacob Jankowski, all I will say is Rob was born to play this role.

The Ritz Cinema, Randwick has always been supportive of Rob’s movies and as most of our regular followers know, gave RPAU the opportunity to hold the first screening of Little Ashes in Australia.  Some of our followers have previously won tickets to see Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse & Remember Me at the Ritz.  Now they are giving 3 lucky RPAU followers the chance to win a double pass to see Water for Elephants.

For your chance to win one of 3 double passes, please email functions@ritzcinema.com.au with the subject line:  FAN SITE Competition for WFE tickets.  The Ritz will choose the winners and let us know who they are.  We will post the names of the 3 lucky winners on Friday 13 May 2011 to help celebrate Rob’s birthday.

So what are you waiting for!

Please note the following conditions apply:

-  Winning tickets will only be valid for the RITZ  for the season of the film

-  Tickets not valid for Saturday evening after 6pm

-  Tickets are not transferrable for another movie showing at the RITZ

The Ritz Cinema is located at 45 St. Pauls Street, Randwick (tel:  02 9399 5722).

Good luck everyone!

PS.  Just check out the back corner because you’ll probably see me sitting there LOL.

*drum roll* Donna - who not only correctly answered our question of “what was the original Australian release date for Water for Elephants” (June 9th), but was also the 25th person to answer the question correctly. 25 being the number that we chose as the lucky one! Congrats Donna *throws streamers* If you could please send us an email at robertpattinsonau@hotmail.com to claim your prize. Thanks so much to everyone that entered – we had so much fun running this comp.

*taps on screen* You read correctly – We are giving away a ticket to the

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE of Water for Elephants! To be held at the State Theatre in Sydney on the 6th May 2011.

I know, how cool is that.

This movie has an M rating and to be eligible to enter, you must be over the age of 12 and capable of making your own way to and from the premiere. Please note: if you are between the age of 12 to 16, you will need parental permission to enter.

This prize is a ticket entry only to what may just be the best movie experience of your life – oh and did we say you get to walk the red carpet – why yes yes you do (but don’t expect to do it with Rob – that cannot be guaranteed).

Ok so here’s how it works.  We are asking a simple question and we have chosen a number … lets say the number is 85 for example – then the 85th person to get the answer correct wins a seat at the Aussie Premiere.
If you’d like to have a go, tell us in the comments section here:
“what was the original Australian release date for Water for Elephants”.  Clue?  It was the first date Michelle had us counting down from in the side bar.

Goodluck!

PLEASE NOTE:  Australian residents only.  One entry per person – multiple entries will be deleted from same email addresses.  Also, the prize is the ticket only – if you are interstate airfare and accommodation will be at your own expense.

Well I guess this is pretty much confirmation that the Barcelona premiere is definitely happening.

FoxMoviesItalia is giving away 2 tickets for the Barcelona premiere.  All you have to do is answer a very easy question here.  Good luck.

Thanks to our affies PattinsonMoms for the tip.

Well you certainly didn’t make the job of choosing the five winners an easy task for Maria, Vertigo & myself.  Thanks so much everyone for all your great entries & of course to Hoyts Distribution for offering these fantastic packs to RPAU.  We really appreciate it.   We have, after much discussion picked the 5 lucky winners & they are the following:

Willow – “Edwards response to Bella’s confession about Jacob’s kiss after the tent scene. The gentle and understanding way Edward handles this moment is a lesson for us all.”

Vicky – “All of them because without him there is no point even watching!!!”

Linda – “Edwards non-rational silent reaction the 2nd jacob & Bella kiss- no words just unspoken hurt,jealousy & emotion.”

Ellen – “Edwards first scene – if its anything like his twilight and new moon ones ill loose my breathe and enter an edward state of euphoria!! … edphoria?”

Bella Stewart – “The tent scene has everything. Anger, frustration, jealousy, fear, acceptance, respect, and of course love. Can’t wait to see Edward bare his heart and soul.”

Congratulations to our five winners.  Please send your contact details, including postal address to us at robertpattinsonau@hotmail.com.  We need to forward them onto Hoyts Distribution who will send the packs out to you.  Enjoy your packs & of course the film.  Only one week to go now.  Am so excited about seeing Rob on the big screen again.

We are very excited to announce that Hoyts Distribution have given us the wonderful opportunity to give away 5 Eclipse Merchandise Packs.  These fantastic  packs include:

A Double Pass
T-Shirt

How awesome is that.  The double  passes can be used at any participating cinema Australia wide including Greater Union, Village, Birch Carrol & Coyle as well as Hoyts.  All you have to do is tell us (in the comments section of this post)  in 25 words or less which Edward scene you are looking forward to the most.   Ohh toughie I know.  The competition is now open & will close on Wednesday 23 June at 6pm.  Maria, Vertigo & myself will then choose the 5 lucky winners.  Also can we ask that you include in your entry which state you live in.  Sorry but this competition is open to Australian Residents only. Have fun everyone & good luck!

Well you certainly made it a difficult choice for us and thanks everyone for entering and also to Hoyts Distribution for offering these fantastic tickets to RPAU – we really appreciate it.  Brace yourselves:

Kez – “I’d take my partner, as it would be great to have a emotional reminder of what’s really important in life.”  We loved this response and agree Kez – we really do need to be reminded of what is really important in life – and that is the people we love.

Deb – “I would take my 29 year old boyfriend because he has a man crush on RPatz, and given half the chance I am sure he would like to start a bromance with him. lol but seriously he sits down for Twilight when ever I put it on.”  Yes well if that bromance ever transpires Deb you both better remember us.

Apotamkin – “I would take my mum because she is completely anti-Twilight and does not understand why I like Mr Pattinson. This would be the perfect way to show her exactly why and get her past the whole Twilight thing. Of course I could never get her to the cinema if she had to pay for a ticket!    How could we go past the education of Apotamkin’s mother, plus your name always brings a smile to my face.

Jo – “I would take my friend Renee..as a thank you for introducing me to the world of Rob…I owe her big time xo“  Oh Renee so good to see you are out there recruiting and yes Jo you do owe her big time – ignorance is bliss but not when it comes to Rob.

Sare – “My twin sister because she’s the only one that willingly puts up with my rob-whipped arse!”  LOL Sare – yes well rob-whipped is definitely something that we can relate to.

Congratulations to the 5 above.  Please send your contact details, including postal address, to us at robertpattisonau@hotmail.com.  We need to forward them on to Hoyts Distribution who will send out the tickets to you.  Enjoy the movie everyone.  Not too many sleeps now!

Just an update to let you all know that our competition to win one of 5 double passes to Remember Me will now be closing at midnight tonight (14th Feb)  instead of 6pm.  Maria & I will choose the 5 lucky winners & announce them on Wednesday night (17th Feb)   Thanks so much for all your entries so far & if you are yet to enter & wish to, make sure you do so before time runs out.  If you could please post your entries in the original post here we would appreciate it.   Good luck everyone.
