From deb at CosmopolisFilm

I don’t even know where to start. First off a little PSA: set soldier Suzie and I will have a full set account in a day or two. This post is a all about the end of the night… or first thing in the morning. Whichever. ;) Please note: this is semi-coherent and fangirlish. Sorry. (not really)

So this was my fourth set visit but the first where I was able and committed to staying until the very end. You know, the end. When Rob signs and takes photos. Of course, it was a night shoot and although Rob wrapped at around 2 a.m. I was prepared to hear that it was too late and he wouldn’t be signing.

I’ve always said Rob is a giver. :)

Dean peeked at the small group of us across from Rob’s trailer and
must have deemed us “safe”. *snicker* Moments later, Rob strolled
across the street with a big smile and killed us all. He signed for Jan first. (Rob:
“Your name is JAM? oh Jan… I was going to say Jam’s a very unusual
name.”) Then it was my turn…

I think by now we all know two things about me. Technology
confounds me near people of note and I babble. Like really babble. So as Rob is
signing my copy of Cosmopolis I tell him how much we’ve enjoyed following the
filming in Toronto and how excited we are about the movie. You guys know about
the Nancy Babich tees, right? Well I was wearing one…. and stuck my chest out
proudly, announcing: “We made Nancy Babich tshirts!” Rob smiled HUGE!
He loved it, the shirt I mean, so I was extra happy to tell him that we had one
for him! *happy sigh*

On Rob moved down the short line of fans. Asking names, signing.
Rob said he liked Toronto, someone mentioned something about his red pants and
we all had a good laugh. Dean asked if we were all teachers and didn’t we have
to work in the morning. He was ignored.

It was late so Rob couldn’t do individual photos (in fact Dean tried to get him to go) but Rob said he would do a group photo. Well, not gonna lie, mild chaos ensued while people decided who’s camera, who would take the photo etc. Guess what I did? #evil

Yeah, I stuck to Rob like glue. I watched the chaos and said to Rob (never thought I’d see the day I typed THAT) “This group photo isn’t going to happen. I’m just going to
take one of my own.” *laughs hysterically*

So a very successful night! Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who shared this experience with me. Talk about memories. There are a few more photos in the gallery below. Chauffeur Tink has a book post coming up that will explain the “Pie glop heard ’round the world’. I’m going to have a little sleep now.


Here's the fan encounter from Janners

I am still floating!!!!
I was the one who asked if he was liking Toronto. He lit’rally stopped signing whosever autograph, looked up and into my eyes and answered me. Rob Pattinson and I eye-locked! The last picture is him signing my working script for the play I’m currently in rehearsal for….I will have Rob’s autograph with me for every rehearsal and every performance for luck!!!
He thought my name was Jam…….giggle!
Oh she’ll prolly kill me for this but I asked Debb what he smelled like…..she said “Plaid and boy!” before collapsing on the ground laughing!!
It was a great night! So happy we met him and so happy I got to share it with my lovely, wonderful friends!!!

Thank you for sharing your stories and pics girls. So happy you got to meet him. I love it how every fan confirms and re affirms what we already know about Rob, that he is an amazing human being and loving towards his fans. Love him!!

When I first met Mackenzie, I knew she was special. What I didn't understand was how badly she could kick my a$$. Let me explain.

I met Mackenzie in October, 2010 when some of the new cast flew into Baton Rouge for some make-up/wardrobe screen tests and to discuss our roles with director, Bill Condon. While we were there, we got an invitation from the producers for a dinner party. Imagine our surprise when we show up and see Rob, Kristen, Stephanie, Ashley, Kellan, Nikki and Jackson.

And Mackenzie.

Mackenzie and I bonded immediately. She has a lot in common with my wife - child actor (not anymore, obviously, but my wife was a child actor), a Scorpio, a martial artist and an ace student. And the ability to make me feel…very juvenile. I'll explain.

It started with the hand slapping. You know that game where one person lays their hands on the other persons hands and the person whose hands are on the bottom tries to slap and the person whose hands are on the top tries to avoid getting slapped? Well of course I lost. Whether I was the slapper or the slappee. And I lost…a lot. It drove me insane. How can I lose this game to a 10 year old girl? Where is my age advantage?

So, I keep challenging her. Over and over. To the point that she would sigh every time she saw me coming for more. People are thinking I have lost my mind. We're in between takes and I am running over to Mackenzie for a rematch. And losing. So, Mackenzie started feeling bad for me and introduced a new game - the staring game.

OK - I GOT this! I'm GOOD at this one! I just need to make sure she blinks first.

I mentioned she is a Scorpio, right? Right. So, I kept losing that one too. At this point, she pities me. Now, she's trying desperately to figure out a game I COULD win. She never did figure out a game I might win.

"Mr. Guri…I made you a picture.", she says.

"No "Mr.", Mackenzie. We're co-workers", I tell her.

She thinks for a second. She has been raised to respect adults…how does she handle me?

"OK…Dr. Guri", she smiles.

I dig that little chick.

The name stuck and for the rest of filming, she called me "Dr. Guri" and made me these amazing pictures that related to our times filming BD. In particular, when she knew I was going to quit smoking, she was my biggest champion on set for that and drew me a motivational picture that is on my fridge right now. I haven't quit yet but every time I walk into my kitchen, I get inspired all over again. If you're reading this, Mackenzie, I promise I'll get there.



She did have another name reserved for Noel Fisher and I - Salt 'n' Pepa. We would often sing pop songs on set in full wardrobe with our Romanian dialects and this delighted Mackenzie…a lot. I was relieved. Up until now, I was thinking I was boring her to tears.

And the cursing. As anyone on set can tell you, the adults were very partial to a few swear words. Mackenzie was unimpressed. I jokingly told her she should incorporate a cursing jar on set and make people pay up every time they cursed in front of her. She not only did it, she cleaned up. She's Bill Gates in a 10 year old's body.

I dig that little chick.

She was so professional and mature that she made every adult there want to be a better adult. Obviously, this is a huge credit to her amazing parents, who have done an extraordinary job raising such a gifted child. Most people don't understand what a child actor goes through over and above what a typical actor deals with on set. Their grades have to be kept up or they can't work. They have school time every day and often that time is broken up by filming, making it difficult to focus on either school or acting. They are often not respected as much as adult actors, despite having twice the workload. They are surrounded by crazy entertainment industry folks instead of friends and classmates. It aint easy…but she made it look easy. She was not only a straight A student but she had everyone's respect.

Watching her with Kristen and Rob was nothing short of beautiful. She fit right in. She deserves all the success heading her way and I feel honored to have worked with her.

Now, if I could only come up with a game I could win with her...

Really bad quality but i know its new. Ive never seen it....

My question is, Filming or not? What do you think?
