Kristin Stewart

[squirrelnutkin23]

Just watching Adventureland on Netflix and I swear she's doing the exact same thing as Bella Swann - funny mouth movements, lots of hair faffing, looking down and stuttering.

Has she ever played a different character? How has she been so successful? This is shit.

Disclaimer: I'm yet to see the Diana film. Perhaps that could change my mind?

There are few actors like her that always to the same thing. But it has made them multimillionaire so good for them.

I have to say that KS had a very funny tiktok where she was guessing which movie her lines are from. She just went "I'll do a KS impression" and then she ddo the awkward mumble and hair thing and knew the line 😅

I liked her in the cloud of Sils Maria and Still Alice. AndI rather enjoyed the Charlie´s Angel remake, which is obviously a very different kind of film. But she definitely wasn´t "Bella Swan" in that one!

She was apparently really good as Diana as well.

Is it possible that she´s cast for roles that are supposed to be played that way because the directors know that she does them so well? 🤔

I think she's fantastic. I saw her in something the other day and didn't recognise her, she was playing the part so well.

The one who I always think, "Really?" is Jennifer Aniston. She is always exactly the same.

I was always a bit ambivalent about her as an actress. but she was excellent in a film called Personal Assistant, which totally changed my mind.

I doubt she does either, particularly as she doesn't know I even exist.

Regardless, it's called having an opinion. People don't have to care or even acknowledge them.

God yes. She always looks exactly the same too. Wish she'd take a role where she doesn't look like a perfect golden goddess, and doesn't play the role of soccer mom/career woman and show us all what she can do.

I think that was true of Hugh Grant in the 90s and 00s but his work in the past decade has been much more varied. And much more interesting as a result.

She did take such a role. She played a downtrodden and depressed supermarket worker opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in a film called The Good Girl. Must be about 20 years ago now. She was really good in it too. But I'm assuming it bombed as she's stuck to her usual thing ever since.

I do think she has great comic timing though.

@VoleChomper I loved that film, they were both great in it.

I don't 'get' caring enough about a stranger to start a thread criticizing them. I'm sure if she did know you existed and cared, she could console herself with all the money she's earned making movies. How many movies have you made?

I like her as the Chanel Cool Girl. She is kind of Bella in everything though. Britain generally turns out better actors than the USA because they tend to have to walk the boards with the RSC and on the Midsummer Murders type series circuits. I only read the first book, but thought she played Bella well. Robert Paterson was badly cast as the Edward character though, in my head RP was more wooden and awkward than the book character. He looked good, but that's where it ended.

I quite liked him as Edward. Which I one reason I think I might have seen the first movie before I read the book, because I think not having formed my own impressions of the characters first meant I accepted them as they were in the movie first. I thought he was good as Cedric.

@NotMarriedToAHouse wow, you are weirdly defensive of KS, are you one of those die hard Twilight fans?

Not sure if you've noticed but this is a public forum. People are allowed to start threads on whatever they like. I watched a film with her in last night and decided to start a thread based on how shit she was in it. I recently watched Saltburn and started a thread about how much I enjoyed it.

You're free to ignore threads if they don't interest you.

Nah, I just think it's gross when people post about public figures in this way as it reminds me of school yard bullies. Even if they won't see it, I find it distasteful. These are real people. I will step out of your thread now. Having had to report to the school such a thread elsewhere started about a school friend of my son's, I guess it's just left a bad taste.

Both Adventureland and the awful vampire stuff is years old, and both are crap. Watch some more recent films, and also better ones.

The vampire stuff was awful - misogynist, wooden, abusive, full of cliches, and just plain ugly. The books were crap, the writing was crap, the direction was crap. Yet it seems that years on this only translates into “Kirsten Stewart is crap”. I wonder why - hm… maybe MISOGYNY AGAIN??

I really don't see that a thread discussing an actor's acting skills (or perceived lack of acting skills) is in any way comparable to a thread about a schoolchild.

@NotMarriedToAHouse look, if people go into the showbiz world I think they have to expect and accept a certain amount of criticism. What a dull world it would be if we all thought every actor, book, movie, painting was amazing.

It's not gross to express an opinion on things like this. But I can see your emotional responses are probably clouded by the other thread so we'll leave it there.

Jennifer Aniston was wonderful in We’re the Millers-one of the funniest films I’ve seen. It played to her strengths. She was also good in Cake even if the film wasn’t so brilliant.

Her mother is script supervisor and her father is TV producer, so maybe she had a lot of industry contacts and exposure during younger years. Access to better agents, which leads to access to audition for better roles.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder because i don't see her as attractive at all. very androgynous

Her father is John Stewart, who works on productions like the Academy Awards, the Grammys, the Golden Globes, etc. That’s why she was originally put forward for and cast in the Twilight films; as I recall he was friends with the director or something.

I saw her in a underwater horror flick. I enjoyed that performance

She was really good in the spooky film (I can't remember what it was called) where she plays a stylist for a celebrity. It was a great movie.

Yes, looking for her brothers ghost?
