Kristen Stewart---WHY????

I know that this blog is supposed to be about movie reviews, but my wife and I are watching the movie Speak on Lifetime (yes, I will watch Lifetime movies with my wife...hey, I love her), and this movie sparked a topic that I thought would be good to write about. So here it goes.

Why in the hell is this world so fascinated with Kristen Stewart?  She is not a good actress.  She is not a good looking chick (far from it).  Just the sight of her makes me want to vomit all over the place.  Oooooooohhhhhh.  I know why America loves her now.  It is because she is in that stupid movie, Twilight, and little high school girls and emo punks just love that damn movie.  Just the fact that this dude has become a huge star shows how far this country has fallen.  I know I am not the only one who feels this way.

How can anyone sit and watch a movie that has this hermie in it and believe that she could be the love interest in the movie?  I guess I get it with Twilight.  She looks like a dude, and the dude looks like a chick, so it fits.  But, in Adventureland, she has two guys after her!  It is just so unbelievable that it makes it very hard to watch. 

She is now such a big star, that when the movie, Panic Room, in which she plays Jodie Foster's daughter, is advertised on TV, it is now advertised as "starring Twilight's Kristen Stewart"  instead of the Academy Award winning Jodie Foster.  Speaking of Panic Room, which I think is a great movie despite Kristen Stewart being a totally annoying little wench; I honestly thought that Kristen Stewart was a boy.  This was the first movie I had ever seen with he/she in it, and it took me most of the movie to figure out that Jodie Foster's character had a daughter and not a son. 

I guess if we can learn anything from Kristen Stewart becoming a big star is that I guess Hollywood isn't all about looks after all.  In fact, it seems that these days in order to make it in Hollywood you have to either: a) starve yourself to death (Brittany Murphy), be totally out of your mind (Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears),  get plastic surgery until you look like a wax version of yourself, or look/act like a chick if you're a dude and vice versa. 

I guess I would never make it in Hollywood. But, that has less to do with what I look like and more to do with the fact that I have no talent to speak of.  Well, maybe it has just as much to do with what I look like.
