    Well it’s not that we’re bashing on Kristen, oh sorry some idiots here are, I for example just wanted to see others their thoughts. I know Kristen can’t help it that she earns a loadshit of money, I mean, If I were her I’d take it too, LOL! But it’s just that the world has changed so much. You are in front of the camera and suddenly you are EVERYTHING, a HERO, while the real heroes are left out of the picture! And this is not about Kristen, just about acting in general :)

  • kelly

    this is a really pretty pic of kristen:)

  • nothatin’

    Ok, I admit that “horrible” was a little harsh. She just seems uncomfortable in her skin, which makes it uncomfortable for me to watch her.

  • EdwardsNana

    vanquish13, you are so sweet.
    Sadly, I won’t be going to the BD2 premiere : (
    It was a once in a lifetime shot, last year and another check off my “bucket-list” I will never forget the thrill.

  • Darcy

    Then I guess you should not see any of her films since it’s sooo difficult for you and stop spreading so much hate , there DONE.

  • B

    $75 million for Tom Cruise? Really?

  • Serina
  • Bill

    When you go listen to the audio commentary of Robert Pattinson and
    Kristen Stewart on the “Eclipse” movie. Even Robert said that Edward is a
    pussy *TrueStory* Bitches!

  • GloriaJean

    It’s just all about demand, not what they are actually doing. They “work hard,” yes, but at something they probably really enjoy, and yes they are absurdly pampered and have way more opportunities than most people ever will, so much money and travel and pampering and meeting people and going to places normal people who never get to go to. It is not a “real” life, per se, it’s beyond what anyone should have, but the reason they get paid so much is because WE buy movie tickets, we fuel the game, it’s all supply and demand, and when a studio knows how much an actor can command they get paid as such, has nothing to do with talent or hard work or anything. Twilight is a big movie and people paid to see it, hence, KS gets paid a lot and keeps getting paid a lot based on her popularity. She’s not doing anything deep or “important” except pleasing people like us who want to be entertained, that’s it. People put actors up on these pedestals, they’re treated like gods, they get everything they want (if they are successful), it’s a bizarre way to live, but, WE as a society fuel this. Why should somebody like Snooki be a millionaire and some teacher or doctor who busts their ass and actually is contributing to society have to struggle. It’s insanity, but we as a people, a dumb people, would rather read Snooki’s Twitter feed or read gossip crap about people who DO NOTHING. A lot of people are famous for ridiculous reasons. I know KStew isn’t on the same par as a dumb reality star but the point I’m trying to make is that we are responsible for what they get paid.

  • Em

    Learn how to use punctuation, seriously.
    You rape the English language.

  • meh

    Are you fucking kidding me? I didn’t say anything bad about KS, I just said The financial success is a product of supply and demand, her fans love her, she’s popular, she’s in huge films, that is why she’s making that much money. Nobody said she was a bad actress, I just said her paycheck isn’t based on her being the BEST actress in the world. Seriously, are you daft? You people, who I assume are like, 15 years old or seriously dumb adults, are all about reacting and not thinking. Why can’t this site be an intelligent place to discuss things, not everybody has to be constantly praising and OMGing about these actors. I like Twilight and the movies, I come here to read about what’s going on with the movies, I’m not a crazy Kristen Stewart fan , but I also don’t bash on the actors. I was just making a point about how these polls are conducted, and the moderator commented maturely to my point. You people are so ridiculously childish. If someone doesn’t say “OMG KStew is an AMAZING actress and WOMAN, she’s AMAZING and looks beautiful all the time OMG OMG OMG,” then they are ripped a new asshole by you people. It’s like you can’t say anything even remotely intelligent on this website, it seems you have to be an illiterate idiot who is constantly ass kissing. Grow up.

  • meh

    Oops, I just said **cking. Sue me. Sorry, but I was really annoyed. You saw my first post about the Hollywood system, etc., and I didn’t think it was offensive in any way. I’m not bashing anyone, just making a point. I don’t really think it’s fair that a person can’t come to this site for their interest in the movies, and if they make a comment that isn’t GUSHING over the actors they get abused or down voted. That’s just lazy on everyone’s part. Can’t we have intelligent discussion at all?
    Trolls? Really? If people disagree or have something intelligent to say should they really be called trolls? Most people come here because they enjoy the films, hence the reason I come here, but it’s really impossible to have intelligent dialogue with every other person going ballistic when someone makes a comment they don’t agree with. I agree that coming here and saying really mean spirited things in anger and hatred is wrong and should be addressed, but not all of us are intense fans. I just like the films and like to see what’s going on. I guess I shouldn’t bother commenting on anything if it isn’t a constant gush of pawning and ass kissing, clearly this crowd can’t take it.

  • Myanna

    To @3adf8f22fe8b9d5d5893623a0500fdda:disqus why are you getting so angry no one has said anything disrespectful to you so you can go all ballistic ,by reading your comment you are no better to be telling someone to ‘Grow up’ when you surely have not either .

  • Lll

    Clearly you are probably speaking about me since I have called all the haters ‘TROLLS’ . I agree with you that people have the right to speak there mind but when they start bashing and spreading hatred or saying something ‘intelligent’ like you call it that is when you have to daw the line.

  • http://hungergamesmovie.org/ Will

    No, that’s not how it works or what I said at all.

    As I said, what we will edit (bad language) or delete (trolling/abusive/racist/etc) is “bad language, abusive stuff, but not unpopular opinions–we’ll let those get downvoted instead.” That’s the whole point of upvoting or downvoting. It doesn’t make your comment disappear, just lets everyone know that comes after what the majority of people that come to this website think of your viewpoint. For example I’ll make up an example: “Kristen Stewart is $#ing stupid” would be removed for trolling, “Kristen Stewart is $%ing stupid because she has bad taste in fashion, as shown in this picture from her red carpet appearance….” is a lot different and would remain, even if it’s a bit harshly worded.

    One is just namecalling to get people riled up, or trolling, and has no place on this site, another is a strong and unpopular opinion backed up with at least a sliver of reasoning.

  • meh

    I am responding to this. I don’t need to be told to take a “flying leap” when I said NOTHING derogatory about Kristen Stewart.

    OLIVIA • 2 days ago−one lill i agree with you and two meh take a flying leap off the website-kristen is a amazing woman and actress

  • meh

    You are not understanding what I am saying, clearly. I’m not saying basing people and “hatred” is within intelligent conversation. I’m saying that one often, on this site, cannot express an opinion that, while not bashing, may disagree with the gushing of others and that is often met with contempt. Example, “I don’t like Kristen’s hair at that premiere, it looks really unkempt,” might be met with rage by others on this site. Just an example.

  • Lill

    Never !!!
    Will I’m sorry if I have made you felt that i was bashing on you by any comments that I have made .
    But I personally do not understand why would anyone come to a website about a film that the protagonist is a person you dislike and start bashing them I would think if your smart enough you would you will have angry comments responded back to you.

  • succubus14

    surely you not watching kristen’s movie will not be painful to kristen and 34.5 million. we twilight fans made the franchise worth 2,5 billion

  • twihard_diehard

    Who told you life was fair? because if you haven’t noticed yet, it not! How about instead of being a jealous troll you go and become an actor. See how hard it is to get to the top like Kristen and when you do I bet you wont complain about how much you are getting paid!

  • nothatin’

    I will pay for a ticket to see Breaking Dawn 2 and will then refrain from seeing other KS movies. I know it won’t make a dent in her retirement, but I will certainly be a lot happier. Thank you kindly for your concern.

  • nothatin’

    @Darcy: What hate did I spread? Not everyone is going to like or enjoy watching every actor and just giving my opinion isn’t spreading hate. You are hilarious!
