You know, about Kristen, that kind of gets me-- the girl is 18, and she's "been with her boyfriend" for 4 years? Meaning she got together with him at age 14?Sorry, kids, I know there's those old married couples who have been high school sweethearts since that age, but for the vast majority of people, you don't even have the brain development to know who you are till you're at least 22 or so. I mean, that's nice and all, but I really dislike the idea of kids thinking they've found "true love forever" at age 14. Which is part of the reason I made very sure to talk a lot to my DD13 about the ideas in the books. Even Bella says she's "not that girl" who gets married at 18.
Also the whole Rob and Kristen "pressure to have a romance" thing bothers me-- they're actors, for pete's sake. They're pretty good actors. It's a role. If you're a professional, you know how to separate. I guess because I used to do some acting, I get touchy about this. I recall very well kissing a guy onstage while both of us were in relationships. You're friendly and professional when you're working together; you turn on the role for the scene, and you turn it off. (well, not that it never gets blurred, obviously there's a history of actors cheating on spouses with their co-stars!)
Ah, well, they look very good together. I'm seriously surprised Rob isn't in a relationship, although maybe he just hasn't had time in the last year.
Hey, Lynn, have a wonderful time!![]()
I agree. I think that's one of the biggest problems with films like this, the fans stop separating fantasy from reality. It reminds me of the episode of Kim Possible where Ron meets this old actor called who played a character called the "Fearless Ferret." It got to the point where he began to believe he was the Fearless Ferret.
It would be neat if they got together, but- what if they get break up before the movies are done shooting?! You know what they say about workplace romances.
