Agreed! I loved Kristen in Twilight, never understood what and why people didn't like her. So, I am really looking forward to New Moon.

MUST WATCH.

Great minds think alike. I posted this video about a page before you. It's a good one! And I love your Avatar. That was classic when she dropped her award. Very Bella like!

lol. I guess that's what I get for not bothering read all the other posts.
Um, anyways I found two videos; one is brand new and the other is really old:
Vintage KStew. So cute!
*SPOILERS* New Moon Clip : Birthday Scene

In the second one, I think the acting from Kristen, in fact, the whole cast is remarkably better than in Twilight. There's none of that awkwardness. Oh yeah, and the clip itself is epic. I love Catherine Hardwicke, but personally I think Chris is doing a much better job, and I can't wait for Novemeber 19th!

^ OMG, she was sooooooooooo cute! TFS!

Watched the birthday scene earlier today. It's pretty good...

Btw, has anyone watched SPEAK?

dazzle_me-xx-Loved the KStew commercial. So cute! And I thought the Birthday scene was perfect.

TeAm_EdWaRd-I have seen Speak and KStew was amazing in it. We have talked about that movie before on here, but it never hurts to repeat it. She was only 13 or 14 when she filmed that. And to pull that much emotion off, is just incredible. Her performance had me in tears a few times during that movie. The movie has a very important message as welll. Any KStew fan should definitely see this movie.

She just seemed to twitchy.. and awkward.. not like Bella - awkward I mean hard to watch on screen awkward. I dk.. I'm lookin forward to watching her in New Moon - In all the previews I've seen she looks really good! She's sooo pretty - *jealous* I love her style - not as Bella, just in real life. Anyone agree?

Well, I thought she was the perfect Bella. And the latest Harpers Bazaar photoshoot-have you seen it? Holy Crow! THIS just proves what a beautiful vampire she'll make in BD.

The thing that bugs me is that some people think if someone didn't like her as Bella in the first movie they are automatically relegating to hating her period. I have no prob with her personally (although I don't condone her drug use or smoking), but I think her portrayal as Bella was awkward in most scenes. Physically, she's very Bella, but the acting seemed off. I hope to be changed of that opinion when New Moon and Eclipse come out though. Her expressions made me cringe in a lot of the scenes such as the one where Edward asks her if she's now unhappy that she's in Forks or during the microscope scene.
