SPOILER POST ~ Bel Ami

SPOILER POST ~ Bel Ami

A couple of days ago, reader, Belladonna, brought up Bel Ami and wanted to have a discussion post for the film even though the US is late to the party. Hell, some countries are still waiting to party. As a Rob fandom, Bel Ami has been a tough one to talk about since distribution was so scattered but we're not scattered. We're a worldwide community.

We first had an intense Bel Ami discussion thread back in January when Belgium fans were the first to see the film. From January until now, we've had various review/spoiler posts for the film as it trickled out. We posted this one last week for the US release date in theaters. We even had one up for the VOD release. It had been a long wait for this film so there's been plenty to say.

My friends and I found out that the film is already leaving our theaters in LA County. *sigh* We only got to see it a few times last weekend. We're going to check it out again this weekend since the theater said it would be gone by next week. Rob said the film just kind of came and went but we'll do a final "swan song" spoiler post for the ladies that still want to talk about Georges Duroy exclusively. For me, this was one of Rob's most emotionally explosive roles. Very fitting for a character that was hungry for wealth, status, and sex. I thought he did great with Duroy and it's a top fave of all his films. How can you NOT wanna talk about him? :)

Moving forward with 2 indies in Rob's back pocket (Mission: Blacklist and The Rover), we're likely going to see wide scattering of distribution again. We'll keep up with the major releases but you guys can always shoot us an email to start a discussion post. See you guys in the DR!

Robert Pattinson is "the perfect choice" for Georges Duroy and he is finally in US theaters this weekend

Robert Pattinson is "the perfect choice" for Georges Duroy and he is finally in US theaters this weekend

UPDATE: Two great reviews came out for the Bel Ami release in the US!

The San Francisco Chronicle reviewed Bel Ami and they gave Rob great compliments!

From this day on, Pattinson cannot be written off as the pale, neurasthenic fellow who would really like to kiss Kristen Stewart in the "Twilight" movies, but he's afraid he'll rip her veins out.
In fact, if "Bel Ami" is any indication, Pattinson should be known as a very good actor.
...
What distinguishes Pattinson in the role is the sense he conveys of someone roiling and churning beneath a surface that is almost, but not quite, calm.
At various times in "Bel Ami," Pattinson registers unexpressed terror, shame, rage and scorn, so that it is impossible not to recognize and even start to feel his tension and to understand the life-and-death consequences behind his every interaction. Young Georges (Pattinson) has nothing and yet finds himself traveling in upper-class Parisian circles - with people who have everything, who know his every move in advance and who would be just as happy to see him land back in the gutter.
...
It's a pleasure to watch him onscreen and wait for the explosion.

Salon gave Bel Ami the "Pick of the Week" calling it an "enjoyably soapy 19th-century costume drama". An excerpt from their review:

It’s legitimate to dislike this film, of course; one of the things I appreciated about “Bel Ami,” perhaps perversely, is how forcefully it resists easy enjoyment. But I think “Bel Ami” has been criticized in some quarters for being exactly what it sets out to be, a trashy, high-culture morality tale with an unpleasant hero and a bleak view of human relations. Pattinson plays Georges throughout as an unsophisticated country boy whose desires and appetites are almost animalistic. He can be a friendly, loyal dog or a scheming, hungry wolf, but the world of high-society Paris rapidly educates him about which of those personas is more conducive to advancement.

The time has arrived, USA. Bel Ami is finally showing in theaters. Near you? Well that's a different story but we'll get there in a moment. I'm sure many of you have already seen the film if you live in certain countries and many of you have seen the film on VOD when it was released May 4th in the US. However, we need to give Rob support in the theaters. The release is limited so if the theaters are near you, make an outing of it and enjoy DuRob on the big screen. My viewings will take place Sunday and I can't wait to see him the way I should have always seen him. LARGE!

Click HERE to visit MovieTickets and search for a theater near you. The release is limited so you still might have a hard time finding the film locally. If it is local, GO SUPPORT ROB! Magnolia Pictures has theaters and dates on their site as well but not all theaters.

There is no US pre-order info available on Amazon just yet but we're keeping watch. Hopefully you guys are still supporting the film on VOD but Magnolia Pictures has steadily been adding theaters to their June 8th theatrical release date. I finally see theaters that are more local for me. :))

Sinful Sunday starring Robert Pattinson

Sinful Sunday starring Robert Pattinson

I've been in Bel Ami heaven since May 4th at midnight. I downloaded the score to waltz around my house with it playing, had a 4 hour Bel Ami discussion on the phone with my friend Deb (we know every inch of that movie), and haven't let anything else grace my TV all weekend. I hope you guys enjoyed the film but I know you might enjoy the goodies for sinful sunday...

source

Oh yes....we'll enjoy these goodies indeed.

source

Yes yes yesssssss...this montage with Clo and Georges was delicious. It makes me smile, so light and sexy and romantic.

source

This kiss was lovely. "I thought you didn't want me anymore." GAH.

source

JESUS. I want to go to there. You guys saw the forehead kiss, right?

source

Forever classic and so damn sexy.

Showcase Saturday starring Robert Pattinson

Showcase Saturday starring Robert Pattinson

I LOVE THIS ONE! I have a think for saucy, French music so pair it with suave DuRob and I'm in heaven. Mon amour, mon ami!

I remember when this video was first up but then it was removed and now it's back up! Yay :) We all know Rob makes us craaaaaaaaaazaaaaaaaaaay!

I'm strangely emo about this video. Must be because I think Rob is truly amazing just the way he is.

Since a couple of these videos were shorties, I'm adding this final video for the showcase. Moans! Straight ahead!

Ok. Back to watching Bel Ami :) I've transitioned to watching on Amazon because the rental is 48 hours compared to iTunes which is 24 hours. Same price and I get DuRob for an additional day!

Video On Demand Viewing Info for Robert Pattinson's Bel Ami US Release (May 4th)

Video On Demand Viewing Info for Robert Pattinson's Bel Ami US Release (May 4th)

We are here, USA! DuRob in your bedroom at midnight! Or family room. Whatever. Wherever. Where you watch Bel Ami is your private business. ;)

Some misinformation was spread yesterday about viewing options for Bel Ami. I was hyper-sensitive about it because the info claimed I'd get to see Bel Ami through my cable company on May 4th and being a customer of AT&T, I know they won't provide the VOD until June 8th (theatrical release).

Lucky for us, if you've been following Torture Tuesday for the past 6 weeks, you know what's up.

Here's the screencap from Magnolia Pictures official site, letting you know your viewing options.

As you know, I'm going to get the iTunes first so I can see it at midnight and then I'll transition to Amazon over the weekend after my iTunes rental is up. I love that Amazon skips the long download process. How are you guys viewing it? I know you have a plan by now. ;)

Click HERE if you'd like to visit the official site.

Look out for the spoiler post in a few hours. Many of you have seen it already but you can join in the squeees and praise for Rob's work at Georges Duroy. The film also opened in theaters in Germany and Austria :)

A trailer specifically for VOD was released as well. There are slightly extended shots in the trailer we haven't seen before but nothing major.

Enjoy Bel Ami all weekend and all month!

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: BEL AMI WEEK!!!

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: BEL AMI WEEK!!!

IT'S TIME!!!!!! IT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMEEEE!!!!!!

I'm bursting out of my skin. I'm a sizzling live wire. I'm a bundle of cosmic fire. Can you tell I'm READY for Bel Ami???

Australian distributor, Hopscotch Films, released this cool, behind-the-scenes look at Bel Ami but before we get to that, let's talk business: how will you be viewing Bel Ami on May 4th?

Amazon Instant Video viewers:
Magnolia Pictures released a VOD film (Apartment 143) on April 27th. I checked Amazon on April 27th at midnight ET and the film was not up. It was not available for instant viewing right away. It took several hours. The film was also never in the 'coming soon' list, it just appeared. I know this worried several people since Bel Ami has not appeared on the 'coming soon' list. My test showed the films do not update right at midnight but it's still worth checking if you plan to watch Bel Ami at 9pm PST like I am. ;) If you are going to be more rational, the film will be ready for you to watch instantly at a normal hour on May 4th.

iTunes viewers:
The film will update May 4th at midnight. Only bummer is the download time. It'll take me 1.5 hours to download but those times change depending on your internet speed. Since I'm on the west coast, this isn't bad for me but I know it's a tough one for east coasters.

Cable viewers:
You need to check this chart to see if your cable company is on here. If it is, there's a good chance you can view Bel Ami immediately at midnight on May 4th. Read carefully because some companies (like mine, AT&T Uverse) only let you see VOD on the theatrical release date (June 8th).

At midnight on May 4th, I'll put up a spoiler post but really I think it'll be a "Let's go ape sh*t about how amazing DuRob was" post. Show your support for Rob's long awaited film and check it out all weekend. I already know I'm going to be breaking the bank for the month of May with those $9.99 rentals. Rob's worth every penny.

Now about that behind-the-scenes footage. I'm hoping we see more of these in the Bel Ami DVD extras because I'm forever fascinated by filmmaking. I also get a kick out of seeing Rob "come back" after being in character. You can always tell when he's with us again. :)

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: 2 MORE WEEKS!!!

Torture Tuesday starring Robert Pattinson: 2 MORE WEEKS!!!

It is ALMOST HERE!!!!!! Yesterday, MTV debuted an exclusive Bel Ami clip with Robert Pattinson and Christina Ricci. It was sweet and sexy but we'll get to that in a minute. The other thing I noticed was the video had the incorrect VOD date. I think we all have May 4th etched in our brains at this point, correct?

Something else that was brought to my attention from a friend was for folks that plan to view Bel Ami on Amazon Instant Video. Bel Ami isn't listed yet on Amazon's coming soon list BUT all of Magnolia's other films that are currently in VOD status are viewable. This leads me to believe that there will be no problem viewing Bel Ami on May 4th through Amazon. I did a test run with a film and decided to ditch the long download time with iTunes and go with Amazon which lets you view the film INSTANTLY. If any of you are not going to view through your cable service, I'm recommending Amazon. There is a film, Apartment 143, that will be released on April 27th through VOD. I plan on checking Amazon on April 26th at 9pm PST to see if it updates with this film. I'll let you guys know how that turns out so we know if Amazon will be reliable on May 4th at 12am/May 3rd at 9pm PST.

We have a bit before we promote the June 8th theatrical release BUT Magnolia Pics continues to add more locations. I wanted to give you guys a heads up on some of the newer cities. Click HERE if you'd like to continue tracking the additions.
