Back when Twilight bashing was cool though, I went with some friends to see the second one so we could make a mockery of it. We bought 2 small popcorns for each of us, and whenever Edward came on screen, we would throw a popcorn into the air and scream. Many of the viewers were PISSED. 
I blame Cracked for any knowledge I have about Twilight. They did an entire plot summary of every book and film soley to make fun of it. That's dedication I could not handle.
I don't diss Robert Pattinson though, because while he plays the most hated sparkle-bitch character in vampire history, he has openly admitted he despises the role, routinely neglected to bathe during the filming of it, and called Stephenie Meyer a crazy bitch who profits off of publishing her wet dreams. He's tried to back out of the last installments to the series, but I'm assuming they payed him a ridiculous amount of money to keep him. |
What pisses me off is that some people base the actor's acting ability solely on the goddamn series. I have seen Kristen Stewart's other work (
Into the Wild,
The Yellow Handkerchief,
The Runaways, and
The Cake Eaters). It shows that she can be a good actress if she is given the right material. Plus she is now working on an adaption of
On the Road, a novel that defined the Beat Generation (which I have on my bookself but have only gotten through the first few chapters). Here's what her co-star Sam Riley says about her:

As for Robert Pattinson, he essentially got his big break in the fourth
Harry Potter film. Critic said that he could possibly be the next Jude Law. But along came
Twilight and a lot of people started to say that he sucks. He only joined the movie to work with Kristen Stewart (who was recommended for the role for the role by Emile Hirsch, her co-star in
Into the Wild). There are two movies that might change a lot of people's perspective of him:
1.
Bel Ami, where he is working with two brilliant actors, Phillip Glenister and Colm Meaney.
2.
Cosmopolis, where he is working with the great David Cronenberg, the man who got Viggo Mortensen his first Oscar nomination.
And that settles my case.
