First: Happy Birthday to Miss Kristen!!! 21!!!

Second: I too really enjoyed WttR, StellaBB. I liked the performances in Runaways, but not the content. I did think that they were 100% spot on to choose Kris to play Joan Jett & she worked hard to capture the character. I just didn't like the character. (And I hated the hair with a fiery passion. Just sayin'...) Maybe try Adventureland next, if you haven't see it yet. Just prepare yourself for a plethora of words that start with "F".

Third: On Kristen's acting in general, I get a little ticked off when people are overly critical of her. Especially in the role of Bella Swan. Bella, to me, was written as a sort of vanilla character. She was supposed to be very neutral so the reader could relate to her easily. So the performance Kristen gave, in my opinion, reflected that. Not to mention, that there are many different types of performers and roles. Kristen seems to choose things that inspire her, or she feels passionate about sharing and so I think we see some of just what makes her Kristen all of the time. People seem to think that means she can't act. Wrong. That just happens to be the type of actor she is.
Well, that's my first post. Thanks for reading it! ~ Ginnie
