    I was very excited for his movie, and was mildly disappointed. 

    Robert Pattinson gives an awesome pair of performances, and, from a psych nerd, the idea of 2 copies of a person having differing dominant personality traits gives me a lot to think about in relation to schema’s and different parts of the psych; it was great fun to see a visual representation of sub personalities interacting with each other and I love the concept.
