I guess I'm not a full grownup yet because I love the way she looks. I've had enough of the army of orange, surgically enhanced starlets in tiny dresses.
@squeakel: I was just coming to say that. She's wearing a Minor Threat t-shirt and red Converse, and her skinny jeans look punk, not fashion-victim-y. If I have a daughter, I would be pleased as shit if she dressed like that.
In #1, she is leaning away from Robert like she doesn't need him, but her hands show that she is fingering her ring finger on her right hand, anticipating the moment when he slips that hunk of diamond on there and is hers forever, or at least until she starts working on a new project. Her shirt is riding up over her belly, obviously due to Robert's love child who is currently renting that space. The kid who plays the angsty werewolf is stiff and unyielding to her, as if to say "Don't touch me you whorish, ruined woman." Robert is looking beyond both her, the werewolf and his impending Twilight love child, into the distance, already tired of his life and looking to the horizon for the next adventure, the next woman, a new life.
See, I take Kristen's crossed arms and dead eyes to be both challenging and smug, in the vein of Manet's Olympia, she teases the viewer and says "I just had both of these men, and I liked it. What of it?"
She makes me feel like my mother, because all I want to do is make her take a shower, stand up straight, and stop slumping around acting like she's so bad ass because she's in some lame-ass vampire movie. Though she's more than welcome to her unwashed arrogant sparklevamp. Do. Not. Want. any of these people.
Well, the expert analysis on picture number 2 made me want to call the expert and she if she didn't need to go out for a glass of wine or something and maybe get some therapy too.
I'm not sure if I read this here or on Io9 but it really bums me out that people see the increase in women at Comic Con as a direct outcome of Twilight shit. I don't care if it's true or not. It just bums me out but good.
@TransFat: They mentioned it on io9 when they posted the gallery of people waiting in line overnight to get into the Twilight panel. Personally, I'm not a Twilight fan but the assholery going on towards the Twihards is so inappropriate. There is PLENTY of SciFi out there that is just as cheesy and eye-roll worthy as Twilight. I think its unfair to exclude people from the genre just because they're in to something mainstream. I think it's awesome to see 13 year old girls hanging out at Comic Con, whatever their reason. I would have loved to be there when I was 13 and it is a great way to get exposed to other things they might actually enjoy outside of Twilight.
In other news, Robert Pattinson is clearly only staring at Kristen Stewart out of jealously for her rockin' hair do. He obviously wishes he could rock that style.

Number five is clearly the beginning of a menage a monster. Buff Werewolf will rear his Buff Head (his head head, not his penis head, until later) and roar to the heavens, where the moon is. GlitterVamp will bare his teeth and stare, stare, stare at Plain Human Girl, his glitterisciousness rendering her incapable of forming a sentence without the word "perfect" in it. Then, they will retire to the film's suite at the hotel, where they will make Mad Twilight Hump Love and have it filmed by eight hundred panting teenage girls, and two super gay guys. It will be included in the DVD extras and Avril Lavigne will sing a song over the Sex Action entitled "Impregnate Me With Your Monster Baby."
Kristen Stewart. You take off that Minor Threat shirt right now. I do not need a bunch of Twilight fans adding "Seeing Red" to their Fantasy Edward iTunes playlist.
@truckasaurus is jackie jormp-jomp: Thank you!
You're not fucking "out of step with the world" if you're drinking, smoking and fucking, and getting paid an exorbitant amount of money to be doing it.
@Ailanthus-altissima: Um, so what? You can be a fan of a band without wholeheartedly endorsing its political or lifestyle ethos...this seems like unnecessary hating to me.
@whynotshesaid: Well Fugazi was not a reaction to the self-destructive aspect of the punk scene, so why the fuck should you?
And Jenna-dear. Bless your heart. You don't have to wholeheartedly endorse it's political or lifestyle ethos, but when you are basically the antithesis of everything Minor Threat stood for, it does seem a bit blasphemous to wear their shirt.
Picture 5:If those two boys were holding hands it would look like just another day in West Hollywood...yeah, I said it. Now, someone find me a mormon to write in a scene where they give birth to a sparkly werewolf.
@CurtCole: Now if only we could amass an army of sparkly werewolves (and Bear companions) to storm the Mormon compounds of California (more for Prop 8, but a good slash fiction could be in the bargain).
Off topic (slightly): can someone explain to me what the current criteria are for a movie being promoted at Comic-Con? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with comics or even cult at this point. Can't they just change the name to Everything-Con? Or am I way off base?
@picardia: Money will do that. As I discovered while working at women's magazines where we got loads of super-expensive skin creams and makeup for free. For eg, La Prairie do a foundation called Skin Caviar. It costs about $200 (a guess, in the uk it was £100). My skin looked like hers, I kid you not. Admittedly, it helps if your skin is 'ok' to start with. But it only needs to be 'ok'. Honestly.

agreed! it seems like it's become a catch-all conference for all things comic/vampire/sci-fi/alt-culture.
