Exuse me for the ignorance but what exactly a pot is? I mean is that something that gives addiction , some sort of illegal substance or what? To me it looks more like a pipe... :?

I really didn't like Kristen as Bella. I think she played the role pretty badly.
She acted frightened when she claimed she wasn't scared and the facial expression she made with her mouth was so annoying. I think they could've found a much better actress. :|
I guess things are going to be kind of boring now, aren't they?

I agree with you, in a way. Physically, I think she is perfect, but acting I didn't think she was really good. She had the same expression on her face the whole movie, with her typical face with like an eyebrow lifted...like, she's always like that, I think.

I think she is starting to get the WHOLE Twilight thing. At first she was totally unprepared, but with the 2nd installment she is going to step her game up. We will see her do her thing and nail it. You hiya just watch!

Regarding Kristen Stewart smoking weed:

Who cares. Everyone thinks smoking pot is bad just because it's illegal. Just in case some of you are way too close-minded and sheltered, let's look back at Prohibition, and Jim Crowe Laws. Just because the country deams some things illegal doesn't make them BAD. Kristen Stewart is awesome. LoL, fame has obviously NOT gone to her head if she can wake up in the morning and smoke some weed with her BF in her pajamas on her porch.

weed. is. not. a. big. deal.

I think Kristin is physically a perfect fit for Bella. I actually think she did a decent job. She needs to amp up the emotion but I'm sure she will for New Moon. She seemed to interact with Jacob better than Edward I think.

I didn't particularly care for all of her studdering though.

It is when your an actress. People don't like it because it kills brain cells, not because it's illegal.
Saying it's okay because it's a plant is like saying tobacco is good for you too. :|

We're not being picky, she really wasn't that great. I personally think she'll do a better job in New Moon...for most of the book (except when she's with Jacob) Bella's like in a zombie-trance. Kristen already took care of that in Twilight. In all of the scenes where Bella's with Edward and she's supposed to be happy, she looked like she didn't want to be there. It's all about knowing the character. Did she even read Twilight before or after she got the role? As an actress, it is best to learn all you can about the character before you actually have to do the job.

A bit harsh, but you never get better until you learn to take and use criticism to better your performance.

No I completely agree with you...I felt very iffy about the movie just because it's supposed to be like this epic love story between two people living in totally different poles yet it looked a little like a temporary teenage adventure. I just never like Kristen. Don't get me wrong- she's a great actress but not for Twilight. She had this tone in her voice that NEVER changed. I know whats its like to be in love and I NEVER believed that she was with Edward in those two whole hours. She didn't look dazzled!!.. 8-)
