Remember Me: Have U Seen It? How Many Times? If Not Why Not?
Well I’ve just seen Remember Me for the second time and yes I’ve taken off my rose coloured glasses and guess what - Rob’s performance is still absa-freakin-lutely brilliant! Anyway, my reason for this post is to purely find out:
*Â have you seen it?
* are you going to see it and if so, how many times?
*if you aren’t going to see it – why not?
Don’t worry if you think I’m going to berate you if you aren’t going to see it – I’m not – unless of course you give me some inane reason – then you might just have to risk it. I’m just curious since there were 4 people in the session before me and 1 other person in mine – yes it was like a private screening. I understand there are loads of cinemas screening it, but why why weren’t there more people there. I overheard the other person as she was leaving telling someone on the phone that she had just seen it and in response to their obvious question of what it was like – she said “it was awesome”. Now I don’t think she was a diehard Rob fan since I’m pretty sure she referred to him as Rob Patterson and then when the other person had no idea who that was *shudders* she said – you know the guy from Twilight *shudders again*. I understand the campaign that has been launched in the States about Remember Me Saturday and I was berated about a week ago that we weren’t doing enough on the site to promote this, but clearly you are all Rob fans on here and I know you will do your bit – right? I kind of felt it a little insulting to Rob that we were pre-empting that this film might fail. I don’t think anyone can really say that Michelle and I don’t promote Rob’s career – it’s not like we talk about much else.   So, if you aren’t a fan of Rob why would you even be visiting our site? Anyway I wasn’t sure what she wanted me to do other than stand on a street corner with a sandwich board hauling people in, but I didn’t think that was really an option. No wait – it’s not an option.
So I’m just curious now on what people are thinking. I understand and I really don’t expect this film to have an opening weekend like New Moon (AUD16m) and to be honest neither is anyone associated with the film, but it would be great to see it get the recognition it deserves because I know I harp on about Rob, but the entire cast and crew need to be applauded for this movie. To quote the girl at the Ritz today “it IS awesome”. Oh and if you are going to comment please please don’t include any spoilers – our UK followers and some US followers still haven’t seen the film. Let’s be fair to them – please.

@Tracey – I tried depserately to get Little Ashes screened in Perth – they wouldn’t even respond to Kojo Pictures the distributors., let alone me. I’m happy to tell you that the DVD is being released in about a month, maybe less. I’ll do a post closer to release date because it’s elluding me at the moment. As for the RM script – it actually came out around this time last year but was pulled very quickly so am not surprised you couldn’t find it. If you are interested in scripts – did you read my Water For Elephants post yesterday? Scriptshadow had a little present for all of you if you were quick enough – not sure if it’s still there.
Tracey
Thanks Maria – yes I did see that post (check in with you daily for some delicious jawporn-fix). I’ve bookmarked it for future reference.
Looking forward to adding LA to my personal Rob-library. In the mean time, I always have some Daniel / Toby / Art / Cederic to keep me company…not to mention Edward.
Jo
Aaahhh!!!! It’s not out in this country for another 3 WEEKS! You guys are driving me crazy!!! LOL!
Michelle
It is just so wonderful to hear these amazing comments & from a non Rob fan. This is definitely exactly what everyone needs to see. Those words Vertigo are so so true, Rob really does deserve an award for his brilliant performance in this film – truly he does. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I too am so so proud of Rob, just so proud. Is just so wonderful to see him receiving the praise & recognition he so so truly deserves. So glad you got to have a 2nd date with Tyler Vertigo 😀
Debora
@Maria&Michelle – I’m completely agree: “age” is just a number! I’m 39 years old and I’m HERE, for ALL of you, for me, and, of course, for ROB! Ciao! 😉
Ps…I can’t wait to see RM!!
Pps..Sorry for my italian-english! 🙁
Maria
LOL @Jo – imagine how hard it is for us to actually stop from making comments about specific scenes, but in fairness to all who haven’t seen it – we don’t want to take away from the experience of enjoying it for the first time. In all honesty, even with the trailers and the amount of pictures that were posted by us and all the other Rob sites, it’s impossible to think you have already seen it. But after you’ve seen it I’d love to hear what you think. 3 weeks isn’t that long – well it is – so I’m guessing you are from UK.
Sare
Ok just got back from my first screening. I’m speechless. I was absolutely floored by this movie. Its honest and has heart unlike most of the movies that they pump out of hollywood.
Its so refreshing to see a story of substance and not your typical romance bulls**t. I can certainly understand why rob can’t put it into a definate genre.
Robs performance was phenomenal. Stunning. He is an extremely talented man. Tyler is an exceptionally troubled character and within the first 20 mins i saw this, albeit thanks to robs ability.
I absolutely adored the relationship between tyler and caroline. And i have to say Chris Cooper was amazing.
Theres was about 30 people in the cinema. The promotional push in the cinema was disgusting. One picture (and it wasn’t even a big one) thats all. I think people believe its your typical romance/drama movie as that what the trailer pushes but it is anything but (I wouldnt even call it a romance.)
My friend LOVED it. Don’t know if shes a rob convert, but she said it was amazing.
I cringed though when she asked ‘is this the movie with the guy from twilight in it?’. I forgave her though as she said after it how amazing it was.
Pfft. Edward who? Its all Tyler baby!!!
vertigo
That’s exactly how I felt too M&M, so so proud. 🙂
btw, after I sent my text, a few more rolled in – I think the final turnout was about 12 people (3 of those were us). No Twifans this time.
Maria
Thanks @Sare. It seems to be everyone’s reaction to the film – whether they are fanatical like us or just dragged, I mean accompanying us to the cinema. I’ve just tweeted Jackie O to see if they will help promote. She’s a huge Rob fan so hopefully they will. We just need to get the word out there. The film for me is very gritty – like the 70s as Rob said in an interview – I see why he compares it to Ordinary People and Terms of Endearment. I love how much he believed not only in this script but the film and it shows through in this performance.
vertigo
I’m taking as many friends and family as I can to see this movie over the next few weeks. I know I said it before, but it really has made me feel richer for having seen it.
An experience so profound, it will stay with me forever, like fingerprints on my soul.
vertigo
hahaha Sare! WOOO HOOO!!
*dances*
I believe in Tyler!
Sare
@vertigo its definately a film that walks away with you. Gahh I can’t even begin to explain how much its affected me.
vertigo
Fingers crossed Maria and that’s an awesome idea!
Michelle
Me too Vertigo. I feel as though the film has altered me, truly I do. A film has never had such a powerful effect on me ever before – never. This story will stay with me forever.
So glad you have experienced the brilliance that is Rob & RM Sare 😀 Thanks for sharing your review with us. I knew you would feel exactly the same way we do about the film. Speechless was exactly how I felt after I came out of the cinema – just totally speechless & breathless. Truly cannot put into words how much I love this film.
Fingers crossed Maria re: Jacki O.
Temajin
Ladies, i’ve just come home from seeing RM and I was moved, this was a truely great film, Robert Pattinson or not, this is a must see film, even my 10 yr old daughter was in tears (hubby piked it went a saw Green Zone – his loss)Robert was real and his character was beleivable. I actually went in not knowing a great deal about the story, I knew bits and pieces but the gravity of it all is what has left me feeling the way I do. I will not say anything because I would hate to spoil it for anyone, but if for some reason you haven’t seen it, see it soon and hopefully you will come out as altered as I am. Love you all, Sam.
Temajin
Ah, just want to clarify, I haven’t read anyone elses post until after I’ve just posted mine, and I can see that i’m not the only one who this film has had an effect on.
Jo
Yes Maria, I’m in the UK. We have the London premier of RM to look forward to on the 18th I think, but the wait for the actual film is a killer!
You guys have the best Rob website in the world by the way, which is why I drop by every day to see whats new. Ok, several times a day, Ok, so about every hour, but who’s counting!?
Maria
Hahaha – thanks @Jo – tell me is Rob appearing at the premiere because at first there were a few sites who said he was – but then nothing else has been confirmed. I imagine he will be there seeing as he’s in London.
Sare
New grav. In honour of Tyler 😀
Maria
@Sam it seems to be the general consensus and his performance is beyond expectations.
irene
Went to see RM yesterday, took my grand daughter and friend. we all loved it. Rob was amazing as was the entire cast. What a story line. Had us in tears, laughter every emotion from a to z. Yesterday was opening day here. Don’t know how its doing yet but not many people there either. I am wondering “where are all the fans????” too. This is an awesome film!!! I’ve seen Little Ashes, How to Be, The Haunted Airman and I’m a RP fan. Love his work and he’s only getting better and better. I may be a grandmother but I know a good actor. Looks, humility. sensitivity, charm, creative musician ,actor and so much more. Whats not to love???? GO SEE THIS FILM you won’t be disappointed!!!! And all you fans here in the USA Where are you?
Maria
Haha @Sare – I’ve got a new grav too because all this non promotion has left me a little bothered *shakes fist at WP* because it’s actually a gif of Rob shaking his head.
Temajin
So Maria, are you saying that you’re…..Bothered??
Maria
Hey @Irene – thanks so much for responding. I think you might be one of the first from the US to give us their account of non-fans. It’s so weird, but I’m convinced that the fans are genuinely in love with Edward Cullen and not Rob. Their loss since you have described Rob perfectly and exactly what’s not to love – if only there were more like him in this world.
Ves
@Maria: Sorry for the mixup re Zeffron …and @Vertigo: I managed to get my hands on the Memoirs (AKA Remember Me) script the other day…*embarrassed* but I read a review and they mentioned the twist and I couldn’t help myself…Iuv that sort of stuff 🙂 anyway, I bawled my eyes out…it really touched me…I can’t believe that some .of the critics are paying out on the script..it was well written and the final product on screen was epic..(obviously)
Anyway, your site rocks and like @Jo: I too visit multiple times each and everyday to get my Rob fix. 😀
Maria
Yes @Sam – I’m bothered. I’m bothered that all the twifans go nuts over the freakin Eclipse trailer and yet there is this amazing film out there that Rob has poured his heart and soul into and there just doesn’t seem the support for him. But they are happy to line the streets and scream at him. So yes “I’m Bothered”.
Temajin
We didn’t even have the Eclipse trailer at our showing, and after seeing this film the only thing the Twifans should be saying is “Edward who?”
Maria
@Sam I’m going to say this here, but it’s not directed at you. I said it weeks ago everyone – i’m not sure why Australia thought they were getting the Eclipse trailer – it’s not released here yet. It was for the US release of Remember Me – it was never said to be a worldwide release of the Eclipse trailer. You have to all pay attention more closely. When they say worldwide release then we are included when they just talk release they are referring to the US.
Lids
Well, it looks like we all agree 🙂
speechless
breathless
floored
blown away etc,etc, etc
This film needs to be recognised somehow, but how do we do it???
Maria
OMG @Sam – I just saw your last comment – am speechless – I can’t believe it – we have definitely converted you to a fully fledged Rob fan. Am so proud – have a tear in my eye!
Jo
Maria, the news that I have seen says that Rob will be at the premier in London, after all it’s his home town! (Had to rub that in a bit!)
Maria
LMAO @Jo – I knew you would rub that in and that you would confirm that for us. Hmmm you could be our London correspondent!
Melissa
I lovvvvved it..he is going to shoot way beyond the Twilight Saga’s and have a really fantastic career..I’ve only seen it once but I plan on seeing it again..But I have this to say:
I think everyone should give cut it out about not seeing the Eclipse trailer, come on, Rob had by the time he was filming this movie lived and breathed Twilight for 12+ months, he deserved to have his first Hollywood feature film free of anything Twilight related, so people weren’t starting off by watching his film thinking “Oh hey, I’m going to see Robert Pattinson, be all over-protective and sparkle”
Give the guy a bit of respect, enjoy every moment of the film, the scenes with Rob , the scenes with Emilie, and even the scenes with Ruby.
Think about how hard cast and crew worked to produce this film , with 20 million fangirls turning up and the same amount of paparazzi, its a wonder the film had any scenes that weren’t messed up by them, so just appreciate the film as it is, don’t worry about not seeing the Eclipse trailer..
Jo
Well, I’d love to apart from the fact that I get all my Rob news from you! I’ll gladly send you a report from my viewing of the film though. On the 2nd of APRIL dammit!!
Maria
Oh @Mel – well said. Rob doesn’t need Twilight, but Twilight needs Rob and Summit knows that.

Hi Pattinsisters!
just came back from session #7 of Remember Me @ 8.30 pm (NZ time) and there were 127 people + Me! crowd getting better as it is Saturday…wonder how the Remember Me Saturday project will do…
people were laughing at the jokes and it was cool. one of the best behaved crowds! i did have to get an usher to get a group of girls at another session from taking photos with their cellphones!! so annoying. i felt a bit bad because they were fans, of course, but they were very annoying and selfish!
oooh, thanks Maria, for my award for “most obsessed”! love it! still sad panda for not being able to bring pressure to bear on NZ cinemas to show Little Ashes though…cool that Rob will be doing commentary on RM, eh? ciao bella!
Nicola
i still havent seen it yet ARGHHHHH!!! i cant wait, i havent been able to yet as my hubby has been away and i have 2 young kids, but im hoping that i can go tomorrow nite. fingers crossed. ive been to a few movies in the last couple of months and ive only seen RM advertised ONCE in all of that time, which was probably the last one i went to see about 2 weeks ago, so i think the advertising has been pretty slack, so thats the fault of the movie producers im thinking? maybe they thought all the twi-hard fans would be beating down the doors and there would be no need to advertise. im really looking forward to watching it and will be really pissed if i dont get to see it tomorrow nite! am planning a nite of indulgence, which means pigging out on all the bad stuff while i watch my fave man do his stuff! cant wait to see u rob!! lol! catch ya later girlz!
Cindy
Well i have just got in from geelong and my goodness i just cannot really put into words how fan freakin tastic this movie is. Rob you are a talent to be reckoned with darling. And the best thing no TWIHARDS!!! But i told two ladies sitting behind me to visit this site and how fantastic it is.
Addy
Maria,
Went again today with a young niece,she said, she like the film but a bit sad. I don’t want to speculate, but I think most fans are not ready to see/accept him as “Tyler” yet. I couldn’t understand the rationale behind this.
I am really baffled, where are the crowds? Where we went, young fans, tweens, etc. are queing up for Alice & H Locker (male & matured audience)
I’ve read an article before that the tracking for RM is not strong. That might be reason they throw in the Eclipse trailer.
Perhaps the countries showing RM later will adopt a different strategy promoting the film.
There’s no question about Rob’s performance attested by a friend who hasn’t seem before.
Tomorrow, I’ll go again with another friend in a different area.
Suze
I saw ‘Remember Me’ yesterday. Wow! A poignant film with such a powerful message! I left the theater in tears. Congrats to the cast on their superb performances! The relationship between Tyler & Caroline was especially endearing. It pulled at my heartstrings. I was in awe of Ruby Jerins. Rob was right on the mark…she is a massive actress.
And then there is Rob. His performance blew me away. I am so incredibly proud of him…and I’m so proud to be a fan. Loved the scene with Caroline in the classroom. I wanted to stand up and applaud!
Looking forward to seeing it again today…and tomorrow!
vertigo
Loving all the reports guys, I get so excited reading them.
@Vess – it’s amazing when something can affect you that much, even when you think you know what’s coming. It’s the way they translated the good script to the screen and the connections as well as depth of the characters brought forth by the cast – and of course … Rob’s mind blowing performance that drove this flick forward. Don’t worry about those critics who have no idea what they’re talking about when so many people, fans and non fans are moved in this way. From what I’ve seen, the good outweigh the not so.
Hang in there Jo, it’s worth the wait and goodluck for tomorrow night Nicola.
Nice one Mel! They should have waited at least a week before releasing the Eclipse trailer anyway. Let Rob shine.
Touché’Maria! Without Rob, we know where Twilight would be right now. 😉
vertigo
@Lids – I think the best way we can do this at the moment is to follow through with what some have already mentioned above. We are calling on our friends and families to see this movie right? I think it would be less stressful than seeing Maria and Michelle stand out on the street with a sandwich board. Not that I doubt the power of their persuasion, but to be fair, those of us who have the freedom to get to the cinema should do what we can. Those without, be it children, funds or distance to travel, no need to stress.
Sonya
Hey @Maria I started reading Water for Elephants (the script) and I fell in love with it straight from the first word. I cannot wait to see this movie. It’s going to be fantastic. I feel in in my soul that Rob will get recognition with this movie. I hope it happens earlier with maybe “REMEMBER ME” He truly deserves an OSCAR for this role as it was magnificently portrayed. He is going to be brilliant in Bel Ami (can’t wait) and Water for Elephants is going to blow me away. I cannot wait to finish this script. Thanks also for your explanation on why LA has a soft spot with you. For the rest of you who have been able to watch it more than once I envy you. Can’t wait to own it as I will probable have to buy 2 copies because 1 of them will be worn out from watching the movie over and over again.
sucker4love622
I live in New Jersey, USA and will be seeing it today at 1:45. Love Rob and hope the movie suceeds but I don’t care if nobody else is there because I will be seeing it because I support Rob in everything he does. I think while the initial box office numbers may be low, when word gets out how good it was they will pick up unlike Valentine’s Day which had a strong opening and then died
annie
Hey guys,
First off let me say that I’ve been coming to this site since November, when wanting to find out more about a certain Mr Robert Pattinson, having been dragged to both Twilight and New Moon. (and GoF, way back when) So glad I did find this site btw,because he is at least 6 kinds of brilliant. I also want to say thank you ti Michelle and Maria for the site and the wonderful job they are doing. Seriously, cannot thank you two enough.
Went and saw Remember Me tonight and to be honest, I loved it. Robert should be very proud of himself because this film is something else. I took my friend who is a casual fan and she was crying by the end of it and impressed with Robert’s acting (she being undecided on whether or not he could due to Twilight). There was around 20-30 people in my session at around 9pm, which was more than I was expecting.
I’m hoping to take my older sister on Sunday night to see it as she saw the trailer repeatedly at the gym and has a ‘Robert Pattinson fetish’ (her words, not mine, lol!) Hopefully she will be as impressed as the rest of us have been.
Daisy
OMG Iguess I wrote in another day but in my city the place was full and I was so happy my husband and I were the first to get there, the movie divine, our Rob whitout words he is so great actor, and I will wach the movie so meny times that probably I will learn word by word by memory. Thanks Michelle for have us inform of every movement of our Rob, you and Maria are the best and the hole world.
Daisy
I hope in the USA the movie be better acepted, In am fan of Rob no matter what movie he is my love, not the movie, and ansorry if some time I am not write very well but I am hispanic and some time I do mistakes. But you Michell and Maria are the best Blog and the world for Robert.
tessANZ
Hi girls,
Just wanted to say that there was no Eclipse trailer in any of the 7 sessions i attended but, you know, though i was kinda looking forward to it, i reckon it would have contaminated the introduction to the lovely Tyler Hawkins.
really enjoy reading other people’s comments regarding the movie. waiting for the numbers to come in from the box office and award nominations for Robert and Pierce!! ciao bella!
Maria
Thanks @sucker4love622 – can’t wait to hear what you think, but I’m sure it will be the same as all of us. I agree it’s not that I want the cinema to be full, but rather for it to be a success for Rob since he’s put his heart and soul into it and I’m really not interested in the world knowing how powerful his fans are because at the end of the day the success is all due to Rob and noone else. I’m not riding on his coat tails – I want him to receive the recognition he so deserves.
kespax
Saw it thursday 4pm, about 10 people my friend & I – we both loved it.
Took my sis saturday, 4pm again, maybe a dozen people.
Are 4pm sessions allways this quiet? If so it’a become my new fave time.
My sis is raving about how much she loved Rob’s performance and the whole film.
2nd time – it’s even better, you can feel a kind of undertow, that obviously builds toward the ending.
I’ve seen Twilight so many times and NM lots – and I just look at Rob and turn off, leave during the middle boring wolf bits. It’s really hard to just Rob perve in RM, even if you try hard to turn off the story- what a testament to how good all the acting is, and especially Ruby, Brosnan (I usually avoid his films can’t stand him), and oh Rob is divine.
I get teary but don’t cry, but this film stays with you, made me dream and think a lot over the past few days.
I thought the last sequence was mindblowing.
A poignant beautiful film, and those eyes in glorious technicolour.
I’m going to get workmates to this on cheap tuesday, they all go to the movies every tuesday so I’m pushing this hard.
And plan on taking my 15yr old nephew – young males should see this movie, I think it would mean more to them than anyone else he captures that young guy frustration so, so well.
