It's kinda difficult to feel sorry for him, isn't it?
As hundreds of TWILIGHT fans camp out for tomorrow’s premiere of TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE in Los Angeles, heartthrob star actor Robert Pattinson is telling THE NEW YORK TIMES that he’s tired of all the attention. “I’ve learned to let it go a bit, but I’m still really bothered by it,” he said. The article explains that Pattinson “talks about a desire to play ‘characters that are not parodies,’” and to “have a career like Joaquin Phoenix, somebody who makes unorthodox roles pop" (more).
Edinburgh is deep in the midst of its annual International Film Festival, an event that INDIEWIRE credits for taking “considerable strides in recent years to celebrate smaller, undiscovered films.” As such, the festival’s Artistic Director, Hannah McGill, used her interview with the website as an opportunity to criticize distributors, “whether small, medium, or large”, for taking fewer and fewer risks these days. “They’re not going to take a risk a small, niche British film unless there’s some evidence that they can get an audience,” she said (more).
Kenneth Turan predicts that Saturday will be a perfect day in Los Angeles for “lovers of really big movies on really big screens, not to mention vintage movie theaters”, as he recommends two great moviegoing experiences. Alex Theatre in Gendale will host a 35 mm Cinemascope showing of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical OKLAHOMA!. Later, the Orpheum will show a digital restoration of THE LEOPARD, a film that “justifiably wowed audiences at Cannes" (more).
