Oh David I have a crush on you now. Rob is 62% okay – I love it. No seriously if you are telling us he is good – I have no doubts at all. None.
Thanks for posting Michelle.
Now I know what Rob was thinking about when he was sitting on the TwiCon panel and he looked a million miles away – shame he couldn’t share in this opportunity but instead was subjected to the insanity. Don’t worry Rob – 12 more months … just 12 more

Oh @maria!! You said what I wanted to say…I love DC too because he really believes in Rob and in his talent and does not miss any opportunity to tell everyone.
And when Cronenberg speaks, Hollywood listens! yeah baby!

Oh lovin’ the fact David watched Rob in Little Ashes and saw his potential for Cosmopolis. Rob knocks me out on screen and has done for some time now. Can only deduce from David’s comments that he was totally captivated by Rob’s bravery in his portrayal of Dali. Rob will continue to soar and collaborate in strong, intelligent projects. in my opinion he is already the male actor of his generation.

I know – this quote is beyond amazing @MichelleC – I saw this on RobsessedSpain’s tumblr:
“You are a fool if you cast someone who has no talent because you cannot hypnotize an actor into being great, or even good. If he’s no good, there is nothing you can do about it. So, I looked at a lot of movies and things that Rob Pattinson had done and then I spoke to him and was completely convinced that he would be great in the movie. It’s strange how you judge an actor. With someone like Rob, he’s very young and hasn’t done all that much and three of his movies are Twilight movies, so it’s sort of the same thing. And so I looked at a movie called Little Ashes in which he played Salvador Dali with a Spanish accent. It was interesting that he would do that because it’s a strange role and not the kind of role that someone who wants to be a big movie star wants to play. And, in fact, Rob is very surprised that he is a movie star; he really is an actor.”
It’s what we’ve been saying all along. I know Twilight opened doors for him, but the twihards need to accept that it’s Rob’s talent that has gotten him where he is. Someone like Cronenberg would have found him eventually … the fact that he didn’t base his opinion on that franchise speaks volumes.

Wow! These are Rob’s people. It’s like another world where Rob can really stretch his intellect and talent. I wish he could have been there as an actor, not the movie star.
BTW – I have a little crush on David now too.
