What is Robert Pattinsons "Little Pillow"?

And, most importantly, how did Robert Pattinson attempt to monetize it?

In the midst of lock-down, when nobody (including celebrities) had anything to do, Robert Pattinson was stranded with nothing but three t-shirts and access to a little corner store. He was supposed to be temporarily staying in a London flat during the filming of Batman, which he starred in (as Batman). Yet in the wake of COVID-19 closures across the globe, he had been stranded with little food other than what the producers would send him according to his regulated Batman diet. Attempting to make productive use of his time, Pattinson decided to try a business concept he had come up with the prior year. He had recognized a gap in the market for fast-food pasta, and says that he “...was trying to figure out how to capitalize in this area of the market, and [he] was trying to think: How do you make a pasta which you can hold in your hand?” Let's not speculate on if this question should ever be answered, or the grammar in which it was asked. Because Pattinson attempted to answer it, and I think we can agree it would have been better off left as a concept rather than a tangible object.

Behold: Piccolini Cuscino

(Italian for "Little Pillow")

According to GQ, at the start of his entrepreneurship journey, "he went so far as to design a prototype that involved the use of a panini press, and then... set up a meeting with Los Angeles restaurant royalty Lele Massimini." This meeting had little success, and Massimini was, thankfully, unimpressed.

Back in 2019, my dad had an idea to create brownie-ice-cream popsicles. He created a ton of prototype batches, much to the enjoyment of my brother and I. His idea was, I can assure you, much tastier and a much more viable concept. So how come he never got a meeting with Los Angeles restaurant royalty? Because he never played the sparkly, blood-lusted love interest in a teen film.

When you have the sort of stardom that comes from helping create over 300 million dollars in profit, you have a lot working for you. You have an insurance to these types of connections. Fortunately, for the good of society, these connections don't ensure a product launch.

Pattinsons unsuccessful meeting in 2019 did, sadly, not deter him from further cuisine pursuits in 2020. In May of 2020, he recreated this pasta phenomenon in his interview with QC magazine. After reading the instructions for creating one of these Picconolo Cuscino dishes, I'm sure you'll agree the world is left much better without it.

Do not try this at home.

Ingredients:

breadcrumbs or cornflakes

pre-sliced cheese

tomato sauce

pasta

half a burger bun

sugar

Other items:

lighter

aluminum foil

microwave

latex gloves

Directions:

Put on gloves (it's about to get messy)

2. Cover pasta with water in a bowl and microwave for 8 minutes.

3. While cooking, create a bowl-shape out of aluminum foil, and cover with crushed up cornflakes or breadcrumbs.

4. Cover with sugar.

5. Place cheese slices on top

Allegedly, Pattinson used nine packs of cheese for this.

6. and then cover with more sugar.

“It really needs a sugar crust,” -Robert Pattinson

7. Cover with tomato sauce.

8. When pasta is finished microwaving, dump it on top of your creation.

At this point, Pattinson says there is "...absolutely no chance this is gonna work. Absolutely none,” But keep going anyways.

9. Pour more sugar on top of the pasta.

10. Hollow out your half of the burger bun, and place it on top.

Before this next step, take off your latex gloves. Pattinson didn't, and it did not go well.

11. Take your lighter and burn a fun design onto the top for aesthetic quality points.

Robert says “I’m just gonna do the initials.…” meaning P.C., for Piccolini Cuscino. The interviewer, Zach Baron, at GQ, says "at this point, he accidentally ignites one of his latex gloves, which promptly melts onto his palm." So take extra caution. This part could hurts

12. Wrap your pasta concoction in more aluminum foil, creating a type of ball.

13. Place the pasta ball in the microwave for ten minutes.

At this point, if you've done this correctly, the microwave should shark, catch on fire, and shut down the electricity, just as it did in the GQ interview.

I don't recommend eating. Robert Pattinson didn't. He figured it was best left ignored, and thats precisely what he did.

He says, “I’m really trying to sell this company... I’m doing this for my brand.”

As of 2024, there have been no official mentions of a Piccolini Cuscino fast-food business. Let's hope there never are.

The Men — New York City (Fuzz Club)

Photo by Ryan Marino

New York City by The Men

The Men are among the last surviving veterans of New York City’s “Rock Is Back” generation, a band formed in Brooklyn at the tail end of the aughts and steeped in the sweat-soaked blues-punk-rock ethos of another time and place. The band has dabbled in cleaner, more nuanced sounds over the last couple of records, but for this ninth outing, The Men reach back to the filthy power of their earliest records, noisy Immaculada, gutsy Leave Home. Their sound on New York City looks back, really, to an age before punk rock, to bands like the Stooges, the Dolls and the MC5, though you can hear echoes of more recent real ones—Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Dead Moon in particular. Lots of people will dismiss New York City as a throwback, not exactly in tune with our inclusive, inoffensive age, but it’s a monster record in the best possible way.

It starts in the manic proto-rock of “Hard Livin’,” a song that bangs on the barroom piano about as hard as BTO’s “Taken Care of Business” did 50 years ago, and that’s a compliment. Add to that the walloping drums, the strident, pose-striking power chords, the howled-out verses and the all-hands shouted choruses, and it’s a classic rock banger with a home-grown edge. No one is doing this anymore. Someone should.

“Echo” is, if anything, even more urgent and engrossing, a pile-hammer riff that jacks blues into punk. The natural forebear might be Dead Moon’s “40 Miles of Bad Road,” but despite the name, it’s no echo. Consider it, instead, a living, breathing full-throated, rampage, interrupted by blistering shred. “God Bless the USA” gives the blare-siren guitars of “God Bless the Queen” an all-American slant that sidles off towards rockabilly. “Eternal Recurrence” blows out into dreaming psychedelic overload, while “Through the Night” sputters and struts like David Johanson in a feather boa. Most of these songs are punk abbreviated and paced, but the closer “River Flows” stretches out into Crazy Horse territory, as loud and weighty and soulful as “Down by the River” itself.

New York City is, in its own way, an illustrated history of how rock and roll got from here to there, but it lives too hard to stay in textbook mode. If you ever liked guitar-driven blues punk, whether in its 1970s first run or the aughts revival, you need to hear this record.
