Hey!

Sorry, just now saw your post.

I did! Nothing special but it was really nice to be with family again.

Happy New Year to you too!

Yup!

Thanks, Anna, for all the beautiful New Year greetings and gifs. I especially loved those New Year stars and the gif from Cafe Society of a New Year’s Eve party.

Hmm. It’s cutting it too close to Sundance (Come Swim premieres on Jan 19th but, because she’ll be there as a director and writer this year, she might stay longer than her usual 2 days; or maybe not).

And to you, also. Happy New Year, Bliss.

Oh, I have to see this – I haven’t seen many of her films prior to Twilight. Want to see Cake Eaters, Into the Wild, etc.

Hello my Stephanie. Lovely to be talking to you again. So happy you are with us here.

Awww. Thank you. I’m waiting to make some humorous replies to Anna but there hasn’t been an opportunity just yet in the new year. But, not to worry, it’s coming – the laughs, I mean. Lol!

OT: Just read Farah’s post on the other board about the choice to come here instead of the Forum. I hope we didn’t hurt her feelings because I absolutely valued her site in the little time I was active there. I am sorry if we did hurt her feelings.

Yeah. You should check their list of 25 Actresses for an Oscar WIN (quite a few “Whaaaat?!” moments because they should have gotten it long time ago).

Who said we won’t go there later? You never know.
It’s because of Disqus that we are here and I hope she knows it.

Oh, I’ll always go there to look at the updates as I do other sites. It’s just my understanding that we can’t post comments there which is why I’m here. And yes, I hope she does know that. Bbl.

You mean on the site? She will close that comment section so yeah, no one will be able to post there.
As for checking news, IOKTBY always was my go to fan site and I don’t think that will change.

I’m so sorry about your mom, Stephanie. May you find comfort in all the memories of times you have shared and may you always feel her warm, loving spirit with you. With heartfelt sympathy.

No idea why he tweeted Assayas’ pic but I think Eme will appreciate it either way. LOL

He looks younger in that pic, too ;P

This lady also worked on CXR.

Yes, thank you Sue. I’m going to search for it because the consensus is that it’s one of her best early performances. And Happy 2017 to you!

You’re tellin’ me.
I’m like: “Why isn’t something, anything nice and worthy of my attention happening?!” but then I say to myself: “Gurl, don’t you dare complain because it might/will get worse.”. LOL

Well, yeah, there is that lol!

Well, he is a daddy now so he’s forgiven. LOL

“PERSONAL SHOPPER”

From our review: Stewart’s commitment to the role is impressive, and she exudes a curious sensuality previously unseen in her career. Alone one night at her employer’s home, her character engages in a fetishistic act that suggests she’s been possessed by a deviant spirit, if not something more overtly nefarious. Even when special effects sneak into the drama, they sort of dangle there, like question marks. “Personal Shopper” isn’t a ghost story so much as it examines the psychological underpinnings that make ghost stories creep us out.

IFC Films will release the film on March 10.

WORST ON-SCREEN COUPLE

Joe Alwyn & Makenzie Leigh in “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” (Sony Pictures)

as “Billy” and “Faison”

A weird look from a football field, followed by an even stranger makeout session behind a curtain. There are many variables that equal Ang Lee’s war film’s ultimate failure. On prominent display is the misguided and falsely feeling love story, as constructed by screenwriter Jean-Christophe Castelli. Shoehorning a reason for “Billy” to stay behind and not return to war not only disrespects the driving force of our living, fighting soldiers, but plays like a faux sense of purpose, parading around 120 frames per second.

Yeah, wasn’t feeling the chemistry either when I saw the film and agree that it did leave a false note. Sigh. But we all knew the script was one of the factors dragging BLLHW down.

PS release date in the U.S. changed from March 10th to March 3rd.

https://twitter.com/blackfilm/status/816362308603613185

Have you seen La La Land? I thought it was great and deserving of its “best of the year” accolades.

This will seem wacky probably, but this picture of Kristen reminds me of Emma Watson’s picture in Beauty and the Beast promo. Their facial features are so similar.

I’m really looking forward to seeing PS. I’m glad it made a Most Anticipated List for 2017.

Oh this is all about my bias against musicals and front runners and always pulling for the underdog. I’m sure LLL deserves the praise it’s getting – I’m just not interested. That’s all. And, no, I haven’t seen it. I have seen Moonlight, Fences and plan to see Jackie, Silence, Hidden Figures. Perhaps Lion and hopefully catch Arrival somewhere. And, I loved Moonlight.

They are both very beautiful young women.

Ok, good to see you can acknowledge your bias over a movie being a front runner when you haven’t even seen such a lovely, original, creative film that features great acting, catchy music, two charismatic stars, makes you laugh and cry, and hits painful notes of nostalgi. I hope you get to see the other movies soon.

Let others like or dislike what ever the hell they want.

Yes I was just confused why/how you could have such disdain for a movie you haven’t seen just because many people love it.

https://twitter.com/_Rejane_Santos/status/816632990180708352

A bit more colorful with these pink tones but aside from that, it’s almost the same.

<3

I’m simply questioning someone who hasn’t even seen the movie having disdain for it because it’s a frontrunner. And I don’t consider it a “slight” storyline, just because it focuses on aspiring actors/musicians? Kristen herself looked down on the notion that to win an Oscar you need to go through some kind of pain and suffering and overcome something, like the non “slight” storylines you seem to suggest.

Meh. Not Stella’s first campaign nor Kristen’s first time to work with her current GF.
Plus, who knows what will happen with their relationship when we get to see results of that work.

Disappointed.
I hoped that campaign will be only hers, not something she would share with other (less important) Chanel faces. Keira gets one campaign per year but, at least, it’s only hers.

Sorry. Act like I didn’t say anything.
You said Cara and my head went to Stella. LOL

(But still, no one really cares about Kristen that much to make that drama. Both are old Chanel’s faces and they were at that party together when Kristen was dating St. Vincent to they are civil.)

A year ago on this day.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1VZJVbWQAAEDyV.jpg

I’m dealing just fine, thank you. You seem to have a problem with a discussion.

Riiiiiiight.

A bit more info.

https://twitter.com/SidewalkHustle/status/816671065623642113

The DM is still mentioning the SWaTH director in articles about Kristen and Stella. No doubt they will mention that both Cara & Kristen dated SV.

Yes they are! I hope they make a film together some day.

In the last bag/purse campaign, Vanessa, Kristen, and Alice (?) had their own bags to promote. I agree with you that this is a good business decision to broaden the public appeal for the product. Still, like Anna, I’m a little disappointed the campaign isn’t just Kristen’s alone. Oh well. We’ll still get to see pretty pictures of her and she’s with Chanel so those are positives for us fans.

Personal Shopper (Olivier Assayas; March 10)

After Clouds of Sils Maria, Personal Shopper confirms Olivier Assayas as the director most adept at drawing the best out of Kristen Stewart. Here she follows in the footsteps of Maggie Cheung and Asia Argento, actors whose exceptional central performances prevented fundamentally flawed films by Assayas – Clean and Boarding Gate, respectively – from foundering altogether. Stewart’s achievement is arguably even more remarkable considering that for the bulk of Personal Shopper’s running time, her only co-actor is an iPhone. – Giovanni M.C.

Yes but those were announced together as a group.
This was first announced as a Kristen’s campaign and now………………..
Anyway, it is what it is.

They are together in this campaign, they aren’t facing each other as opponents. I don’t see a reason for drama but boredom can make some people act like idiots.

Tabloids aren’t exactly reasonable and I’m sure they’ll cook up their own narrative.

Me too! That was a very big achivement and a big step forward in her career

New pics.

Kristen and Stella, coffee run pics.

Yup! If you are to ask regular people who are the best actors/actresses, they will most likely mention those who excel in “loud” acting.

“Unfortunately, I seem to be the minority in feeling this way; Weiner was right—capital-A shouting Acting tends to win unless you’re in the final season of a critically-acclaimed series or nearing retirement age. However, from the POV of someone who has spent too much time studying human behavior, I feel some of the greatest performances I’ve seen are the quietest; that is, when an actor is capable of making us believe that they’re someone else without telling us that they are through grandiose, dramatic gestures. This includes capturing all of the puzzle pieces of their characters’ cultures, past experiences, personality traits, presenting problems, and pathology, and subsequently bringing them to life.”

I wonder why she wasn’t there this year. As a last year winner, she could have presented an award to someone. Opportunities like that to spend time and talk with the very best from the industry shouldn’t be missed, not when you are struggling with your career. But she’s too chill and reckless to think about it on her own and her good-for-nothing team won’t push her either. Sigh.

Good point as you wrote, and Anna already noticed. They each had their own style of bag to promote then. It looks like they are showcasing the same bag with different people t show how versatile it is this time. Anyway it is Chanel and Karl so it is still exciting.

I see you didn’t answer my question about how many of last year’s winners presented the award to the new winners, but as usual you put extra expectations on Kristen and then act like something is wrong with her when she doesn’t meet them. You surely know Michelle won for MBTS and CW was the “throw in” as that’s what every film critic/blogger/etc. thinks and you base everything on what they say. Kenneth Lonergan was her presenter and MBTS was one of the big winners, but no, the “costar” who she didn’t even work with on a movie no one really cares about should’ve given her the award, because Kristen is the one who decides these things and dropped the ball by not making herself a presenter, never mind what the NYFCC organizers want. I guess it’s another Chanel situation where Kristen isn’t “trusted” to hand out an award, right? She should’ve been the only winner from last year to attend and hand out an award, and something is wrong because she didn’t. You keep telling yourself what makes you feel good.

Yay!

CS nominated.

You are the opposite of tough my dear. Yesterday’s convo about LLL confirms it.
As I said, other winners were most likely busy with their work (plays, filming, ect.). Also, none of them had co-stars winning this year for a movie they were part of. And are in far better place with their careers than Kristen is right now. So you see, I don’t give a damn about them; this was a nice chance for her and she missed it.
You can be happy with her latest career choices, no one says you can’t, but you need to let others say whatever they feel about current situation whether you like it or not. Your attacks on posters’ opinions here only show how unsecure you are.
She did one shoot with Karl for Vogue FR (a bad one) while failing to land that cover and one for this new campaign that she shares with 3 other people. That’s it. As far as we know. Last PFW she attended was in July 2015. Like I said, we’ll see.

Nah, discussions aren’t your thing.
China: she was the face of that collection, it’s was her duty to be there.
London: she’s also face of that makeup line meaning, it was in her contract to be present. And, btw, that was a rather small event only for fashion industry people, no other big names attended to show support to Kristen, Chanel’s new makeup ambassadress (compare that to Lily’s LA dinner).
Seoul: it was almost two years ago and Chanel needed her there as almost everyone else with big enough name was in the U.S. for Met Gala.
Your opinion is that Chanel can’t get enough of Kristen. I see things differently. After all, it was Lily-Rose who got a special LA dinner in her honor when her new campaign came out; they never did anything like that for Kristen. It is Lily who is in their Christmas and New Year ads I’m seeing, not Kristen (and in all these years, they never used her for that), ect.
I’m the one who is *done* talking to you as you obviously have reading comprehension problems (much smaller contract =/= contract that is over).

Lily in BSA, CW in Best Cast Ensemble.

Anna, so sorry I’m replying so late on this post. January is proving to be busy for me, so I’m finding myself coming here in short bursts and having to leave quickly. It would have been a nice opportunity for her to be at NYFF this year career-wise. It’s always important to keep yourself visible in any career, but especially in HW. I just don’t know how interested she is in doing so. We’ll see how 2017 pans out for her. Sigh.

Thank you, Anna.

That’s her, the infamous Jessica K. Enough said.

One unsolicited piece of advice: every time when you are about to read something from Playlist – check who wrote it. Some people there have *serious* negative bias against Kristen (proven in practice on multiple occasions).

https://twitter.com/NYMag/status/817168827339460608

Sigh.

https://twitter.com/Mel452/status/817114250141282304

Oh, ok. Wow, isn’t the Playlist a *biggie* in terms of critiques? Other than the infamous *Jess*, could you name the others – only if you’re comfortable in doing so. And with the clear understanding (from me anyways) that it is your *opinion* – js.

They aren’t as big as Variety or THR, for example, but they are well known.
There’s this Kevin guy, too. But, at the time, there were two Kevins working for them and now there’s only one and he’s Managing Editor. I’m trying to remember what was the last name of the other one because I don’t think this Kevin is the right one.

Yeah, I can imagine this is going to stay with him for awhile. Wish I could give him a hug.

Now I don’t understand this! Really, I loved this movie so much…

“Or, there’s Olivier Assayas’ “Personal Shopper” (March 10), which we particularly liked at Macau International Film Festival. Simon Abrams even called the film “unmissable” in his write-up.”

https://twitter.com/ebertvoices/status/817041204890206208

WTF?! Why? If this is true, say goodbye to any chances of Kristen getting that nom.

“I just learned that #PersonalShopper is not in the movie package sent to [Academy] members for the #Césars.”

https://twitter.com/TipouneKs/status/817305505173475328

https://twitter.com/Mel452/status/817269950997856257

You mean one of the members for the Cesar noms? Who sends the packages? Is it the same as in the US? I have no words.

Wow. So, somebody must have said something for this to just be coming out now! And yes, the film deserved to at least be considered for best director prize. And, I have no doubt that Kristen would have gotten a nom.

The fan who posted that info follows that kind of stuff. Remember all those advanced screenings PS had in France? She tracked down all that info and posted about it. So I trust her and if she says PS wasn’t in that box, that was sent out around Dec 16th I think, then it really wasn’t. She only fond out about it now because they started voting for noms on Jan 2nd and people are talking about it.

If you say so. Continue your meltdown. 😊

I don’t think they were talking about it so that the omission could to be fixed; they were probably just acknowledging it as a fact.

OT

Interesting read. And it’s not only about those two, when you think about it.

https://twitter.com/ScottMendelson/status/817386500690157568

Not everyone at RogerEbert loves PS. Barbara Scharres posted a negative review under their name from Cannes which was posted on RT.

“Whatever Stewart’s shortcomings, writer/director Assayas is the guy who has to stand up and take a bow for this bomb.”

I just saw on IMdb that there is leaked set footage from PS. SneakPeek has it. I am not sure if that is harmful.

OT

https://twitter.com/marieclaire/status/813852058424135680

There isn’t anything else out there right now work related, Brenda, so you are good 🙂

Is it Kristen filming a scene at a metro station? If so, it’s old.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1gw2uLXgAMn1f_.jpg

That’s the piece that I think the film holds—that you see Kristen Stewart just exhausted, driving hours for the one job she could find in the area, and maybe ten guys have that same job right in town. And Michelle is deemed, I think, with judgment because she’s a bargainer, or she’s trying to get what she wants, where she’s tough on her husband. He’s cheating. Men get what they want all the time, and they’re doing it around her. It’s interesting. I think that character is sort of asking for what she wants, and you can come across as like, “Oh, she’s bitchy.”

https://twitter.com/ThePlaylist/status/817467579690151937

No surprise that Jessica K. “kinda hated it” among the three critics at Playlist. She is, if anything, consistent. Smh.

https://twitter.com/Mydreambliss/status/817508162924331010

🙂

Me too! I really like the purse. Unfortunately it’s out of my price range:'(

And the Oscar for the ugliest costumes goes to…………………………………….. LOL

I think it is old then.

Yes, but some of the dissenters are predictable __Jessica Kiang for example. I’m going to look up Barbara Scharres next_ altho she is a top critic.

Jessica is biased. With her it goes deeper than disliking Kristen as an actress, I think.

Sigh. She cut her hair again. Probably prep for Sundance or something.

@hairbyadir
Haircut day with one of my favorite humans. #hairbyADIR #kristenStewart

https://www.instagram.com/p/BO8dF2ohpgY/

She’s getting too thin and she’s smoking way too much, more than ever before I would say.
And the absolute lack of care how she looks like in last few months…………………….. Sigh.

Yes, one of my favorites also.

Well, we can’t see other side of Kristen’s head but I doubt that side is shaved.

Oct 7th or 8th, 2014 (I think). She was in prep for CXR premiere in NYC before NYFF.

I like her hair clean and healthy. That’s all I ask for. And it wasn’t that way in a long time (almost a year now).

Well, *some* of those pieces aren’t *that* bad on their own but they way she’s wearing them…huge no! LOL

That’s true. But she looks like she’s still living in the ’80s. LOL

Well, that yellow sweater (pic on the right) would be fine for when I’m vacuuming. LOL

Adding to the theme of *out of place* for her. Lol – living in the 80’s. Gurl, some of the best times of my life were experienced in the 80’s. And before you ask, no I did not dress like that!

I don’t think anyone can get through Kristen right now. She has to resolve some issues with herself in her own head, IMO (sadly, I think it will get worse before it gets better).

I like ’80s (was born then)! Well, except for the fashion from that time. LOL

Lucky you Eme! I forgot you saw CW. I expect I will like it too. I am really interested in seeing PS too, but I have mixed feelings that it might scare me.

OMG! That makes me feel so old. You’re probably my daughter’s age! And I disliked 80’s fashion!

Oh, I hope you get to see CW. It’s a lovely film. And I am looking forward to PS – scariness and all!

Honor it is. Nothing wrong with feeling young (but not immature) and full of life as long as you can.

Man, that’s a lot of smoke in one area. With all the health warnings against smoking, I’ve just never understood young people smoking at all. And, I’m sorry but that smoke smell lingers on your person and clothing. Just, no for me. But, choices are all one’s own. As her fan, I wish she’d take care of her health more.

Well, how she smells (and looks, in general) wasn’t one of Kristen’s priorities in quite some time. And you know that absolute lack of care for your appearance is usually not a good sign.
(Biting my tongue to stay within those 10%.).

Certain Women

Much admired American auteur Kelly Reichardt adapts a series of intersecting stories by Maile Meloy that chronicle life in smalltown Montana . Featuring Laura Dern, Michelle Williams and Kristen Stewart.

• 3 March.

Personal Shopper
Kristen Stewart reunites with French director Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria) for a bizarre, uncategorisable film. She plays a fashion PA who is attempting to contact her dead twin through ESP, all the while burrowing into the identity of her fashion-model employer.

• 3 March.

I still think you’re at least overstating it.

Yup. And good promo could have fixed that.

That is sad, Anna. I don’t know enough to say one way or another. I do hope that the hair is in preparation for the JT LeRoy film which is based on true events. Kristen often tends to inhabit the role imo before,during and after. It seemed that way to me especially with The Runaways and On the Road. Both were biographical even On the Road to some extent which was a novel.

I didn’t see the joint pic (thank goodness). Agee that it wasn’t professional behavior. I can’t comment on the rest (I did know that she fell while out with her friends) because I don’t have access to those tweets/discussions. Do wish I could give her a hug.

I know. But since I have no access to her, it’s the only thing I can offer. If I did, as a licensed mental health professional, I would have some suggestions for her. But only after a long, honest discussion with her, because as it stands, we really don’t know what’s going on with her.

We all have our demons. And I sincerely hope that she obtains whatever help she needs, professional, personal, or both, so that she continues to be able to do the work she is passionate about (whatever that may be) and, hopefully, as a fan, I can enjoy.

Oh, trust me, I agree.

Awards aside, Kristen’s acting is appreciated by the best.

No truer words ever posted than yours, MCR.

Perhaps it has less to do with the fandom, and more to do with Kristen not being the one nominated. It should be Lily’s fans supporting her. And other things could be keeping people from responding as much. Social media can be brutal and nasty.
Since Thanksgiving, I have only been on my laptop once or twice. I haven’t turned on my tablet in weeks. Even when I use my smartphone. I don’t linger and rarely make a response. Things are just to negative, crazy and off putting, and not just on-line.

This one is . . . LMAO

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1mCphwVIAANPpA.jpg

This comment is to Anna & Eme ( and anyone else for that matter ) I have scrolled down and seen your recent concerns re Kristens current appearance It is worrying and I hope it has more to do with anxiety over the reception for “Come Swim ” than anything else. Sundance is just a week away and there is a lot of K personal emotions tied up with the short that she has put so much into already.This may not be popular but she has seemed fragile since she broke up with Alicia. She had seemed so happy and relaxed at Cannes and afterwards for a while. I think A was a solid place for Kristen and she seems like she is drifting for some time now. Deep down I have always thought she is not the party animal type and is happiest when she is working. I have never expected her to be a movie star She is so much more than that.26 is a funny age for a woman So many expectations are placed on the shoulders I know she has been strong in the past . Just needs the right influences and she is missing them at the moment. JMO

Hey, Sue!
Agree with what you said about Alica. With her Kristen had the kind of stability I think she craves. I also agree re those bad influences you mentioned. She lacks solid support system right now.
And yes lets hope she’s stressed because of Come Swim because better that than the alternative. I don’t think that’s the case but who knows. All we can do is sit and watch what happens next.

When even regular moviegoers are mocking Kristen’s agency. Sigh.

Agreed. That’s why I said she has no good support system (except for her dad, maybe, he has his own life so…….). I’ll never forget that one time when Kristen said it was her mom who pushed her to do SWATH when Kristen was close to not accepting it and I’m not saying this because of what happened in 2012 but because Jules should have known that the very last think her daughter needed was another franchise (SWATH was supposed to be that at the time) before Twilight ended. But what do I know.
As for her coming out…kinda agree. I think she missed a huge chance to have her team create a narrative for the first time in her career, so that things could be easier for her when it comes to general public. But with Ruth all you are going to get is a mess. So things are even worse now. The only reason everything isn’t a complete catastrophe is, as you said, this “celesbian” trend happening right now. But as every other trend, this won’t last long either. In the end, she will be left with an empty celebrity persona known for her sexuality and multiple GFs she dated. No actress wants that.
RE your last lines…I think that relationship (that was obviously quite a rocky experience as I don’t think Pattinson was easy to be with) in combination with the media chaos it caused (especially after the scandal) and the sudden fame that happened at the same time only added to her already messed up head (everyone is messed up in late teens-early twenties because there’s so many important things about yourself you need to figure out) and her anxieties. All of that together was like a ticking bomb, IMO. I wouldn’t be surprised if it left a bad taste in her mouth.

I totally concur with everything you said there… Film entertainment is in a funny place these past few years and the cult of celebrity above all talent required is heinous ( Kardashians and their ilk ) How can you establish a footing where you are safe to move forward is very tricky. She navigated 2012 which would have crushed the majority. Since jun 2013 she has accomplished some stellar work and critics have recognise this. I don’t think she will ever go for an Oscar bait role and that leaves fans disappointed for her ..The whole Twilight stuff did a number on her head but she always is thankful for it ..The strange thing about life is you can only have true perspective when you are at a point closer to the end of it. Nothing ever pans out the way its expected to. Hindsight is only truly available at the point it doesn’t really make any difference any more Women in film get a raw deal The roles available after 30 are usually mothers or bitter unclaimed women with an agenda Lol..After that Film Noir for NYT I could see her in a Gangsters moll role with the upper hand as she is actually the Boss and the guy is the patsy that gets it in the guts Lol….

Agreed.

Exactly. That’s why I worry – instead of making her snap out of it, so to say (I know that solution is not as simple), people closest to her are looking for their own interests, IMO. It’s a sad situation to observe.

Yup. And she’s showing all the signs.
Also, since she broke up with Alicia (back in Sept 2015) her group of friends started splitting up. That stopped after they got back together but after this fall and the final breakup, it all over. Sadly, the better part of that group went with Alicia and Alannah or they just moved on with their lives and careers (it happens to all of us in mid twenties when things are starting to get serious for the first time in our life). Kristen is now left with not so good people (including CJ).

I want this back.

If her short is not to our or critics’ liking? Fans will stand by her, as always. Everyone is already prepared for not getting it just as majority never got that poem she shared either. That won’t be what will send this fandom overboard but if she continues with this odd behavior even during Sundance promo then people will judge. And they have every right to do so. There’s no reason for her not to be professional (which includes looking at least clean and presentable and cutting down swearing during interviews).

And yet Driver’s career has been going well, unless I’m mistaken. Is that because of Gersh or in spite of Gersh?

Anyone watching?Think Laura Dern looks nice and I like her dress.

HI skeptical. I’m not watching, but I’m not surprised Pharell was asked about the music for the film. Hope he was able to handle with grace. Sorry he was pulled into the controversy not of his doing.

Came across the.best.speech.ever. delivered by the one and only Meryl Streep. That is all.

He used HIS celebrity to get where he is. It’s fair that the most honored & respected actress in the USA used HER celebrity to call him out for being a bully.

Congrats to Isabelle!

It was one of the best examples of how to use one’s celebrity to further a just cause.

Huh? Smh.

He responded to her speech. And it’s exactly what you would expect from him but nothing like what PEOTUS should say/do.

Exactly. She didn’t have to say those things but she did it anyway.
But only someone who has little to lose (because, she’s a legend, it’s a done deal, and thus she’s as safe as it gets) could do it. Darn catch 22.

I’m not prepared to go there yet. Let’s see how 2017 goes first.

I think it was because she knew her own power that she offered the challenge to her peers and all of us to place compassion, honesty and truth to be in the forefront as never before. And because she believes in all that she said last night.

Agree!
But how many actors/actresses/industry people in Hollywood can “survive” attack from *him* and his supporters (who are uninhibited) that will surely follow every single comment of that kind? Because he won’t stop doing this, he won’t stop going after people even after he moves in the White House. How many of them will be ready to publicly criticize POTUS (not some ordinary politician or any other powerful public figure but a POTUS) knowing that maybe even their personal safety might be endangered because of it? Things are out of control right now and people will think 10 times before they say something in the way Meryl did, IMO. Which makes what she did that much more important.

Agree.

I thought his reaction was hilarious. He called her “one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood.” The man’s just making a fool of himself. (Not to minimize the fact that it will cause some negativity from his devotees, as Anna said.)

Forgot to add this:

https://twitter.com/AwardsDaily/status/818307520615694336

Not really 😉

(Wish others could start seeing her in that light as well, though. Sometimes I wonder whether it might be too late for that. And, as of lately, Kristen isn’t helping either. But I have to hope one day things will change. She’s only 26, almost 27 yo, after all. Wish talent was all she needs but that’s not how life works. Sigh.)

Just saw this pic (somehow, I managed to miss her very first reaction to winning GG).

Even those who don’t act for awards, who love the art for sake of it aren’t immune to this feeling when they know their good work was finally recognized and fully validated. Everyone wants awards (and thus, on some level, it must hurt when they don’t get them even if they don’t care admitting it), it’s just that for some they aren’t a priority.

https://twitter.com/OllieCharles/status/818404221708013568

I knew about this since the film’s opening weekend but now we have a pic as a proof.

This is a screencap of a scene from Why Him? movie in which Franco’s character is showing photographs of his ex GFs to his current GF’s dad and in one of them you can see him and Kristen (the joke goes something like “so, that was the wild one?” or something like that). I didn’t see the movie, this is what I was told.
Judging by her hair, the photo was taken during fall of 2015 or early last year (if it is a real pic and it looks like it is). I do wonder if that dog is Cole.
Anyway, it’s one more sign of how obsessed Franco is with her.

https://twitter.com/queennn94/status/818687779672559617

Another PS clip (no spoilers).

Good, strongly worded article, too. “Even as Trump’s surrogates are forced to lamely defend him, a handful of others are waking up to the reality that he’s psychologically incapable of being presidential.” Waking up just a leetle too late, unfortunately.

She’s clearly over her caution with the public.

She went from one extreme to another.
Maturing is what she needs to do. And do it soon and fast. Things she got away with when she was 20 or 22 won’t pass now (that includes how she looks, too), not even with her fans (I just saw a girl who was one of the best known fans in this fandom, one of the good ones, author of those famous fan videos, turning into something that’s not really a hater but is exactly how general public talks about Kristen now – mockingly.) Sigh.

Hope so.

Answer to the last question is *quite* interesting. And meaningful, especially now because it’s obvious she somehow lost that after Cannes.
Silver lining is that she at least knows what she needs. Now she only has to get it back.

(Also, Meryl was brave to say what she did but so is Sasha with posts like that one. Her site is the source of her income so she’s risking a lot more.)

Her personal relationships were part of Kristen’s own words, not mine.
So, try again.

Okay.
So you are saying that a 26 yo person who is in a good place in her life and career goes and shows a middle finger salute from the stage on which she is being *honored* and interviewed by NYFF’s director in a room full of important people who payed $2K (!) to be there? That’s normal to you, a sign of respect and maturity? If it is, well then, you need to grow up as well. ASAP. Or you want to tell me that smoking a joint on a set (which is her place of work) out in the open where everyone can see is a good choice? If you are not aware of it, that is considered to be extremely unprofessional behavior. So you see, I don’t need to pay attention to her personal life (although, that’s hard not to as it’s all we are getting to see lately) to notice that something is way off with her. You can keep your head buried in sand if you like, that’s your prerogative, but don’t expect others to do the same.

That sounds like something Kristen would do. But Franco, apparently, is not part of that project anymore (as an actor, not sure about his producing role).

I guess, all that campaigning behind close doors (and in public) payed off for Deadpool (it got in but Silence, Jackie, Loving, ect. didn’t).

“Come Swim”

Director/screenwriter: Kristen Stewart

One of the most anticipated and buzzed about shorts at this year’s festival is a17 minute experimental film with an impressionistic aesthetic. Unavailable for pre-festival screening, it’s described as a diptych of one man’s day; half impressionist and half realist portraits. It also happens to be the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart. St. Vincent makes her debut film as a film composer with this short as well.

Stewart explained the origins of this short in her official director’s statement: “This film all started with an image. The idea of how pleasant a nap on the ocean floor might be. The lovely isolation from anything else that breathes, or any compulsive thought process. I painted it. I wrote poetry about why I painted it. I wanted to capture this image as obsessively as the recurring thoughts that conjured the image in the first place. What started with one picture in my mind became something much more expansive. I wrote an outline and reviewed poems written over the past few years. I found a through line. The painting. The words. Everything was connected. I had finally found my first piece.”

Stewart’s short and Anu Valia’s “Lucia, Before and After,” which is also playing Sundance, are part of Refinery29’s Shatterbox Anthology, a short film series formed with creative support from Women at Sundance.

People like you have been bitching about her flipping people off (done totally as a joke at NYFF btw) and smoking pot for years. No one she’s worked with has ever called her unprofessional. I’m sure they know way more than you do.

is that Ruth across the table from kristen?

You mean, in 9 days which is more than a week? Or will they have a pre-premiere?

They are. But so is Cannes, for example, and we know some not so good films (I’m not talking about polarizing movies) get selected every year because of ~reasons.

Essays? LOL. So everything that’s more than one or two lines is and essay to you? That’s…telling.
Also, why are you reacting to them every.single.time? You know what, don’t tell me. Not interested.

I’ve noticed. As a matter of fact, the *only* thing you are “bothered” with on this site are my posts. There must be something special about them.

Good read.

https://twitter.com/FemaleCritics/status/818895315940032519

Are you crazy? What am I reading? I was there! I paid $2K to see Kristen and I can tell you NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE in that room was offended by Kristen jokingly showing her middle finger. Everyone was delighted by a smart, sweet, young talented actress talking passionately about her projects. You have problems, not Kristen and you’re projecting your problems on Kristen! That’s insane!

Really? So you talked with *all* of them who were in that room? Just because they laughed at some of her jokes (we all did) it doesn’t mean they were happy about that other stuff (based on what few other people who also were there told me).
You are a fan who got to see Kristen in person, to spend some time in the same room as her and you were happy because of it. That’s all understandable. Others attendees weren’t (fans) and some of them weren’t as impressed with her. Guess whose opinion counts more (sadly).
(I would also tell you to compare Kristen’s and Adam Driver’s dinners but that might be too much.)

You said it.

Hi Anna! Honestly, I’m a tad disappointed with LLL as I’m a big fan of RG. I saw Hidden Figures on Sunday which was interesting. Hope to see Loving and Fences this week, before they leave our theatres.

Very true. Remember how critics went completely insane for The Deerhunter? A few months later, it was like it had never existed.

Agree!
I also agree with you about Kristen. That doesn’t lessen the fact that we love her and are rooting for her every single day!

Hi Bliss. I liked LLL as one of the best musicals I’ve seen, but I’m pulling for Midnight as an also beautifully filmed story that has more substance to it. Plus Midnight was better all around in acting imo, although I thought ES was excellent in LLL.

HI Bliss. Both Loving and Fences are beautifully acted films with universal messages.

Oops! Perhaps she meant Moonlight! I thought she was referring to Midnight Special.

Yes, I think she does mean Moonlight but I could be wrong. There are so many movies out there right now it’s so hard to keep up!

It is! I want to see as many as I can! It’s a welcome distraction from the days to come.

God yes!!!!

Hard to say which of the two are dressed worse LOL. But what you wear to the grocery store doesn’t count.

And, if you can, see Moonlight. It is one of the most beautifully filmed and acted movies I have ever seen.

You weren’t there. I was! So you think you know more about people that attended the dinner than I do? I was in a table with non fandom people and I talked to them to whole night. They were very impressed with Kristen. Some of them saw Certain Women the day before and they loved her in the movie. When Kristen was speaking, they were paying attention, they laughed, they smiled. I saw no one cringing or making any comment when she flipped the bird . I don’t know who you talked to (I really doubt you talked to someone who attended the dinner, but anyway), but all the fans I talked to after Kristen’s speech loved it.

YOU don’t like Kristen flipping the bird, so you think people care about it, but most people really don’t. And to say she is immature because she flipped the bird in a very friendly environment event shows you are the immature one. And kristen has always been like this. If you don’t like it, why do you follow her? She won’t change! If you get disappointed everytime Kristen is Kristen, you are the one with problems, not Kristen.

Yes, and I think I saw the orange hat while she was in NY for NYFF.

I, for one, do wish she would stop flipping the bird. Only because it just gives the paps more ammunition to mock her. The most recent article I saw, to my dismay, was from New York magazine that featured all the times Kristen flipped the bird in 2016. It doesn’t help dispel the negative image people still have of her when articles like that come out. And this in a year that she had so many lovely things happen to her.

Key word: fans.
Again, unless you talked with everyone who was there you can’t claim to know that all of them liked the gesture. Those people weren’t teens, they know how to keep appearance and act like everything is fine keeping their opinion for themselves. For later.

Sigh. I don’t even know where to start with the second part of your post.
She wasn’t among her friends, she was WORKING. If you can’t see the difference then this convo is pointless.
“And Kristen has always been like this.” Some of the things you do when you are 18 can’t pass when you are 26. It’s called maturing. Something she needs to catch up with in some aspects of her life, IMO.
You can keep thinking she’s perfect, fine with me. But not everyone will/does. And I’m sorry I think better of her and am expecting from her to be able to learn and improve. You are the one selling her short.

I sincerely hope you’re wrong, Anna. Sigh.

Yes, I caught the tone. I can’t speak to your question about others because I don’t follow anyone else like I do Kristen. I was pretty heartsick when I saw & read the article.

Her hair is going from bad to worse.

The lack of any ‘structure’ is just…I don’t understand what Adir is doing/thinking. If she wants to keep it short why not give her the haircut she got right before CXR promo and NYFF 2014? That one was cute and easy to maintain at the same time. This now is just a shapeless mess (and not only because Kristen isn’t taking care of it).

I sure hope so. But I really doubt it.

Sweet dreams!

It’s just disordered, at least partly because of the headband. And who does their hair to pick up groceries?

4. She had a strong brogue.

Bridget’s Irish accent was so deep that at times during Lizzie Borden’s trial she was not understood. In particular, when she spoke of “keys,” it was thought she was saying “case.”

(No way Kristen will be able to pull that kind of accent off).

It’s good for him but will it help Kristen? Not so sure.
Of course, it’s not his job to “campaign” for her.

I’m kinda almost resigned to the fact that any Cesar nom will be in the director/producer/best picture situation. Don’t get me wrong – I would love a BA nom for Kristen but the odds seem to be against her this year. Despite all that, I still have some hope burning inside – the *audacity of hope*, you know.

Personal Shopper, out on 17 March [UK]

Olivier Assayas first collaborated with Kristen Stewart for 2014’s Clouds of Sils Maria, where she played an assistant to an insecure movie star. For Personal Shopper, a film he described in an interview at Cannes as a sort of companion piece to Clouds, Stewart features in an ostensibly similar role. But unlike its elegant predecessor Clouds, Assayas’s latest is horror sprinkled with fashion industry satire. Maureen, a young American in Paris, is the personal shopper and assistant to Kyra (Nora Von Waltstätten), a harsh and demanding German supermodel and designer. While running errands, Maureen develops certain habits, like trying on Kyra’s clothes and staying overnight at her flat when she leaves the city for work. Maureen is also a medium, attempting to contact her recently deceased twin Lewis in their family home in Paris – where he died from the same heart condition that Maureen suffers from. Assayas’s careful manipulation of the boundaries of realism have a disturbing effect. At the point when Maureen seems to make contact with Lewis, unexpected events occur, suggesting she has opened herself up to a dark force way beyond her control.

I’ve tried to enlarge it with no success. I can’t read that small print. 🙁

Oh I see you have more scans further down that look much better! I’ll give it a shot! It may take a while as I’m working on another task.

I think Viola would have won in that race.
But, this way, I think Emma S. is still ahead of everyone else.

In a month and a half. Finally! It’s been exhausting.
But then the very next day the talk about 2017/18 awards season will start. It never stops………………………………………..

Okay so I only found reference to Kristen in the very beginning and at the very end!
Beginning:
It is not paradoxical to say that all my films have a relation with the universe of the ghosts.
Fiction, by definition, is a history of ghosts. Through it, we make characters who have disappeared (died) relive. The history of cinema is peopled by ghosts. With PERSONAL SHOPPER, I wanted to push the cursor, to make it more literal. This film was a continuation of working with Kristen Stewart, whose quality and strength is to render/make the most fragile things real/truthful. During the filming of SILS MARIA, there were sentences that were dense, theoretical, abstract: I was very frightened but I remember being surprised by the way Kristen interpreted them, with spontaneity and impressive truth. It’s her who gave me the courage to go a little further.

Last question:
Q: You personify enormously the real and the virtual, as independent entities.

A: This question has to do with control and non-control. I do not believe in control. A film must not be a grid that is applied to the world. A scenario, it’s only a piece of paper with brief descriptions, with characters whose psychology is determined only by action, by the
situations in which they find themselves. It is the actor who gives life to the character. It’s a bit like the decor I’ll choose, it will transform the mental vision that I have of the place described in the scenario. One needs to be opened to this. In sum, to the accident. In fact, I don’t ever rehearse with the actors beforehand, to avoid intellectualization. There are constantly accidents. Sometimes, I say to everyone that the plan is going to such and such a place, and, in fact, I let them continue acting in an unknown zone; This kind of moment produces the most interesting things. Since I do not know what I am basically looking for, there can be no mastery on my part. I try to improve the plan step by step, take by take, until I say to myself: “OK, that’s it.” And Kristen Stewart is really an ally in this approach; She feeds a spontaneity, a youth, a requirement, she is obsessed by the fact of being good only at the first take.

Thank you, that was fast:)

My favorite of all these looks is 3. Liked almost all of them. Least favorite was the Cafe Society premiere look. And, they didn’t have my all time fav look – TIFF 2012, I believe.

Thanks,Bliss. It is amazing how well they work together. I really enjoyed reading this.

Thanks, Brenda. I try not to give anything away because I don’t know who has seen the films I’m talking about in my posts. Today, hopefully, it’ll be Hidden Figures and Silence next week sometime. Whew!

It is what it is.
I think she’s being realistic (remember when she said people will probably not like it but no one will be able to say it wasn’t well made?) but still, the pressure must be there.

I wish they included Seoul 2015 look.

Don’t know how old this pic is but she doesn’t look good, at all.

https://twitter.com/rugbytoitaly/status/819905070510866439

Judging by her hair, it’s very recent.
Now I’m asking, if this was someone completely unknown to you, just a random person you got to see sitting there, what would you think about her? Nothing too positive, I’m almost sure. She looks kinda lost (and not even being in public where she knows she”s can be and is recognized is enough for her to snap out of it and put a “brave” face like we all do – instinctively), to say it nicely. Hate me as much as you like but everything from her look (her hair was never messier than last few months, every.single.time we get pics of her), her clothes (it seems like she’s wearing all the same stuff for months now) to her body language and attitude is a sign of not a good place she’s in right now. What caused it? I have no idea but it doesn’t look like she’s trying to figure it out and get better.

Hmm.

No exaggeration on your part. I have never seen Kristen look worse. Maybe she needs Ruth! Everyone has dissed Ruth, but she was constantly with Kristen during Twi years. Kristen does seem to need someone with her always. Nothing wrong with that, so Ruth is a good choice since Kristen is a client as well as a friend.

Ruth is getting new clients (who work more than Kristen and thus can pay her better) plus, I think, she got engaged recently (not 100% sure so don’t hold me on that) which means that many things are coming before Kristen right now for her.
I know people don’t like to remember 2012, but in months before scandal happened, Kristen was left almost completely alone (she was traveling *a lot* all over the world, her BF had his own career to take care of, her parents were dealing with their own mess of separation and divorce, her friends weren’t traveling with her, her co-stars and other people she was doing all that promo with weren’t exactly her friends and the pressure was huge) which kinda reminds me of what we are seeing now: she’s not alone because someone is always there with her but those seem to be mostly enablers (CJ especially) who don’t give a damn about her well being in the long run and everything feels like we are, just like back then, watching a ticking bomb (only, this time, it’s much worse IMO).
As I said the other day, I’m now just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Career (that she doesn’t have now anyway) is no more a priority because this is so much more serious and dangerous.

If Stella is walking this show then………………………………………
(Which, if so, bring us to CJ being there for – nothing. Kwim?)

I don’t usually argue this stuff with you, but this is why I can’t entirely get on board with you.

Yes, she looks messy and sad. Messy isn’t something new for her, but I’ll allow your take on it as being messier than usual. And I’ll accept your interpretation of her manner as desperately depressed, rather than just worried or serious, although I don’t see much evidence one way or the other from a few photos. But you carry it too far.

You’re right when you say, “What caused it? I have no idea…” but you don’t stop there, but fast track right to severe personal problems that need professional intervention. Why couldn’t she be working too intensely on a new project? Or having terrible fights with her parents/girlfriend/whoever? Or freaking out over the upcoming fascist government?

As for “…it doesn’t look like she’s trying to figure it out and get better,” how does someone look who is trying, as opposed to someone who is not – that we can discern in a couple of snapshots?

“…to me it doesn’t look like she’s trying to figure it out and get better.” were my exact words. It means that this MO she’s in is what we are seeing for months now and that I can’t notice any change happening nor an effort on her part to make that change. Maybe she can figure it out on her own, maybe she can’t, I don’t know so I’m not saying that she *needs* “professional intervention” (those are your words). As for what is behind all of this, I can only guess (and I have a theory) but, as I said, I don’t have a definitive idea.
How someone who is trying looks like? How about seeing her for once in all these months looking fresh and rested, clean and wearing something other than those same clothes all the time, going to or from a business meeting (paps usually notice that)? Just once. Kristen was always messy but not like this, not all the time.

Zero self awareness as expected. As a fan, a fansite seems like a more reasonable place for me. However, if you´re whining about everything she does and seeing ghosts at every turn, that puts you in the same category as those GC psychos.

I don´t visit GC, but that´s not necessary in order to know they´re delusional and making things up as they go along. But I guess assuming things about complete strangers is your thing. Yeah, I´ll keep my head in the sand about someone I have zero connection to. Thats totally a crazy thing to do.

As you wish.
As for me, I’ll keep using my eyes and my very good eyesight. And common sense.

That InStyle article in print, scans.

https://twitter.com/Gossipgyal/status/820018078599839744

I mostly agree with your assessment of her personal life. Also it must be difficult losing half her friends after breaking up with Alicia while most of others have their own lives & careers. I don’t know what is going on with her career, but that might be due to her choices. She is probably sacrificing some acting opportunities in pursuit of directing opportunities. Whatever, I wish other fans could understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion. Kristen does not expect people to worship her. It does not help someone to say they look great&healthy when they don’t.

I hope I don’t offend you, but Anna left GC because of the way GC kept debunking stories about Kristen that seemed to draw attention to these negative stories. The last straw for me was another story re Joan Rivers’ book that had offensive remarks about Kristen. Anna delivers lots of important news here about Kristen’s career. If she is concerned about something, it is fair that she mentions it. I do not understand why fans hate other fans. I recently was on another site. They referred to us here as a lunatic brigade and a nasty pack. That is language that belongs on GC. Worrying about Kristen is not looney or nasty. If everything is well, it will be proven, and we will all be happy.

I am sorry that you are persecuted by other fans. I think it very narrow minded the way some fans can not deal with opinions that are different from theirs.

You may not got go to GC, but it is not such a stretch to have assumed you do since you mentioned the site. Also I have been on sites where fans report on what is said on GC. Nothing wrong with that. I used to visit occasionally although not to report on them.

I think mutual support is very important. In all relationships. Period.
But, in this case, it’s not that support what bothers me (I did say my opinion was harsh). It’s just that seeing her looking like that (thin, tired, lost) and still traveling all the way to Milan for Stella but not finding a way to show up at *some* of these industry events in her own city/state (there are so many of them now and, as everyone keeps convincing me, she did have a great year so no one will question why she is there) made me kinda mad. Her direct competition is about to have a great year but we aren’t getting anything from her, no new announcements, nothing. IDK.
Almost all people she’s surrounded with most of the time lately don’t have their lives/careers figured out (and few can benefit from hers a lot which might turn them into “say yes to everything she says/does” persons) so I don’t think they can represent that stability she needs.
(CJ is Stella’s friend, too. And he seems to like free traveling even when he doesn’t have to work as Kristen’s PA. But maybe they are there for more things than that one show. We’ll find out soon enough.)

It seems that Anesthesia was released in Mexico yesterday.

Hi everyone. Saw Hidden Figures today. Such an uplifting movie! I am so happy that these three women’s contribution to the NASA space race to put an American in space and the moon was recognized and honored in this film. All three actresses were wonderful, as well as, the other cast members. I hope it gets an Oscar nomination for BP because it definitely deserves it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BPL0DOkDJiC/

Yup. And she has an attitude of a real star which will help her a lot.

She’s lucky she has such a strong presence (because some of those outfits she wore recently wouldn’t look half as good on others).

Yeah, agree. She is beautiful and carries herself well so she wears the clothes not vice versa.

Well, you just never know. It just might be a sleeper hit. I mean, anything can happen, js.

Lol! Are you forgetting what just happened in the US?!!! Anything can happen – and sometimes does!

https://twitter.com/TheGregoryE/status/820093510569238528

Nothing against that. I admire that attitude.
I just prefer being ready for the impact so it doesn’t shock me if it happens.

Right? Sigh.

sundance only a few days away, first film as a writer/director. this means alot to kristen, so:
relax and enjoy her getting there

No way anyone can be that relaxed. Even in a peach perfect situation, which we are very far away from currently, we would be all stressed out waiting for those first reactions. Fan is short for fanatic, after all. LOL

people will see what they want to see in her actions & reactions. on the film, no one has exactly the same tastes, so it’s often healthy to wait & see it as individuals!

I never considered that because it seemed ridiculous that producers and directors even studios for the most part would discriminate against a woman because she dated other women. Also Kristen is attractive to both men and women so she is believable in films like CS or CW. However, I heard a couple of people talking on tv recntly about how badly people treat other people in Hollywood so I can maybe believe it.

I am afraid to see Silence because of the torture scenes. If you see it, please let us know if it is truly disturbing.

Proof that Franco is not a part of JT LeRoy project anymore (as an actor; if he’s out as a producer as well that that movie probably won’t get made at all but we’ll see).

https://twitter.com/modyzaidan/status/820238908160098305

OK, he’s still in as a producer.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2InG7NWEAELuKO.jpg

Perhaps CJ is like family though.

Hmm. Maybe, it’s not like I know him.
But would a family member post pap pic (!) of her on his instagram only to show that he’s working with her? That was a shitty move, IMO. And sadly it wasn’t the only one.

Anna has been bringing tweets and articles about Kristen’s career to fans for years! She doesn’t gossip about other fans when things are slow. She doesn’t gossip about Rob and his girlfriend wen things are slow. LOL. She doesn’t gossip sabut Ashley Greene and so on… LOL.

I’m glad they are thinking about me/us because I can’t say the opposite applies. LOL

Oh! I didn’t know this!
Moonlight and CXR have the same DP. No wonder CXR looked that good (better than a $1M film).

https://twitter.com/mistersattler/status/820260712517804033

It might “work” in that one movie but what about other films?
You know how, in the past, women were treated like “you just go and do your woman’s job, look pretty, don’t think and don’t talk”? Well, somehow we didn’t move much pass that in those top grossing films. Less than a 1/3 of speaking time? That’s bad no matter how those characters are well skilled and smart.

Oh Brenda, how I hope this is the same situation as that one 4 years ago because it means good stuff is coming.
(BTW, I was OK-ish with TBS and after Juliette B. joined in I was so happy because we were supposed to get CoSM reunion but it didn’t happen. Oh well.)

I didn’t know he posted that pic. That was poor judgment on his part.

hello, which is that pap pic that he posted?

Which photo was this, Anna?

Hmm, “brainwahed”. And a “minion” too. Can you think of any other names you want to call those of us who post regularly on this board? And, for the record, you coming here and calling people names and bullying Anna – oh, wait for it – isn’t that what those people at GC do?

For example, a pic from Aug 2015 when Kristen, M. Pruss (Equals and Come Swim producer) and he went to a lunch (probably a prep for Equals’ world premiere at that Venice FF) to some restaurant and paps got them as they were leaving.

Just answered Nona about that below.

My favorite look!

Ha ha, he is really fond of it:)

Just a theory: it is a gift from someone dear to him, so he can,t get rid of it, he has emotional connection:)

She is his muse. Sigh. I feel left out!! LOL!!!

As if!!!! I am probably closer to his age group than she is and, just guessing how much younger his wife is to him . . . I’m working against the tide, so to speak!

Excuses.

Hmm. What happened to “audacity of Hope” attitude?

You can always hope to pull of a LizzieTheMovie kind of thing – win against all odds.

Good point.
(Still, I want it back for when she’s working: And that hair for all days. LOL)

That’s what I’m sayin’. So, get to work ;P

Lol, MCR!! I actually have seen that in areas that I have lived, js! But not in California so . . . .

OMG!! I.am.dying.

That’s an OK score. Because compared to The Hat vs. You match…………… ;P

Hmm. California gang getting together. I see how it is.

Yup!! Now more than ever, js. I miss my Stephanie.

Yes, well said.

Yes, I know you do and I hope our fun convos make her smile when she comes to the board just to read the posts.

Even a backstage is a risk. She’s playing with fire.

Yay!

(That’s a VS ring specially made for its models.)

Buy him another sweater like *the* one he already has?

Haha, that is a mission impossible that needs Tom Cruise to help. 😊

Hopefully that’s a bodyguard next to her because he is awfully close if he isn’t. I get nervous about safety for any public figure when it comes to groups of people.

[And now everyone is bitching in their DMs. Same old.]

No, that’s not that! At all!
I’m glad she’s not sitting in the front row. First, she can’t because of Chanel and she better take care of that contract the best she can because the *only* mainstream thing she has going on (attending Milan FW is risk in itself). Second, look at her. I mean, she looks like she didn’t wash her face for days, her hair is getting worse (and I though it wasn’t possible), her clothes are…I simply don’t have words any more. And on top of that, she has a cigarette behind her ear as an accessory. She’s supposed to be an A-list Hollywood actress at a fashion week (being backstage only means you don’t have to be all dolled up, not that you shouldn’t look nice) but she looks like a construction worker coming to a construction site (no offense to those workers).

Are they bitching at each other or about Kristen, or both?

That would be a no to that. LOL!

I have no idea what that second pic is! And, who cares about CJ!

Eyes on the goal: the number. Whatever it takes. ;P

You see, I am reluctant to go there because I just don’t have the facts. Yes, I am seeing pictures and, if I were in my office facing this young woman and evaluating her, I’d have some ideas. I understand what you are saying and why you feel that way. And, yes, these recent pictures have me worried.

She isn’t traveling with a bodyguard? WTF?!!!!!!

There are limits, js.

She tends to do that when it’s not work related.
Remember that LAX chaos from two years ago (when Alicia and her came back from Hawaii, after those infamous beach pics)? I guess she didn’t learn anything from that.

(It slowly becomes nerve wracking to log in and check the news because I don’t know what I’m going to see/read. How the hell did we end up here?)

I like to think this convo is a proof that we are sane (even though the subject is odd, LOL).
Because that other discussion…we are walking a very thin line with that one.

That is the question of the day!!

IDK if this person (a model manager) is sick so that’s why the need to cough or Kristen was that rude that she was smoking while talking to her (if later, then wtf is wrong with you, Kristen).

https://twitter.com/queennn94/status/820444223623270402

Very true! It is just that Gyn was a really good female role IMO that I got all excited. Clayton Davis had Rogue One in his top 15 films if I remember correctly. I thought it was a good film.

David Gordon Greene was a producer so he definitely knew how to get good people. CXR remains a favorite of mine.

That ring is something Kristen would love. She loves to have jewelry from people she likes. Look how she wears that necklace from Jillian Dempsey.

https://twitter.com/IndieFocus/status/820468911170666496

That’s the only pic that looks decent.

Good point. And she does like rings.

DGG’s and Payman’s involvement is what made me confident that CXR would be OK (unlike Lizzie, for example).
And yes, CXR holds a very special place for me too.

My issue with TBS was timing. It was supposed to be the first film for Kristen after Twilight ended and, more importantly, the scandal. So playing that kind of a character in that context would have been very risky and tricky (you know what public thought about her back then). Other than that, TBS was fine; nothing special but not too bad either.
I hope will get that reunion someday, though.

That’s the one.

It’s going to be a series so I think the story will have enough time to develop and use all the details from the book. As long as they get a good screenwriter…………………….

We should know. Sadly.

I can’t quite get worried about it. It seems to me like more of the same: like when we constantly heard that she never smiled but always looked miserable, and there were photos to back that up – yet it meant nothing. She’s always dressed like a wee truck driver when off-duty; people have always said her hair is constantly a mess; and she’s always lost and re-gained weight regularly. I also haven’t read anything to suggest she’s behaving weirdly, at least by my standards of weird. I’m not really sure what Anna is suspecting, exactly, but I see very little to indicate disaster – but then, I don’t follow Kristen much apart from this site, so maybe I’m missing something.

I so hope you are right, MCR, I honestly do.
Time will tell (as I don’t think this is her normal self).

Fair enough.

That new VS ring she has on in one of the fan pics. It’s clearly Stella’s gift or something which is enough for some people to make drama.

Her girlfriend may have given her a piece of jewelry? Well…pfft!

Seriously! Smh.

Could be! To me it’s just a ring like any other until proven otherwise.

Well, different color with some different styling details – what’s not to love lol!

You are easy to please ;P

Wonder if Kristen is still in Italy or on her way home. Sundance is only 4 days away and she’s going to be so tired while promoting Come Swim (how does promo for a short film looks like anyway?). IDK, she should be presenting herself in the best light (both, looking and sounding good) as this is a big step for her (well, it is supposed to be) but I don’t have impression she sees it that way (as a great opportunity to shine and show people how good she can be in something else other than acting). Anyway, her decisions, her career, her life, her consequences.

Beanies for the win!

But you gotta hand it to her – she has a very unique style and owns it with no apologies!

Having your own style is great (I prefer people who have it) but looking clean is a must no matter what you are wearing.

Oh, I definitely agree with that. I admire her for it.

I get the impression she tends to push herself pretty hard.

Exactly.
And it doesn’t work most of the time (it would be hard for anyone, not only her, to pull off things like this and be fine).

Thanks, Eme, for the info which is amazing to me. I will look up the books. I never knew that pschiatrists were called alienists at one time, and I wondered about that title.

She is one of the leads in that new HBO series (Little Big Lies) with Reese W., Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern (it starts this Feb, I think and the early word is that it’s really great).

“Prior to the twentieth century, persons suffering from mental illness were thought to be ‘alienated’ . . . Those experts who studied mental pathology were therefore known as alienists.” From the book. I really enjoyed the books which I read eons ago!

I like her being paired with Huppert: “…two of the greatest actresses working today.” Nice.

Exactly.
Sadly, characters she picks to play do help that narrative, whether we like it or not. She proved she can be excellent, awards worthy in certain roles but her range is still not tested and people see it (those who don’t like her will say she can only play those and nothing else while others are on the wait and see train; and I’m not talking solely about regular people – quite a few critics obviously agree).
It is what it is. She’s the only one who can change that perception.

When I reflect on the characters she has played post-Twilight, they aren’t the angst-ridden type of girl (aka Bella). Vonnie in CS was independently minded and, in the end, knew which path was right for her life goals; even in CoSM, her character was frustrated but vocal in her frustrations with Juliette’s character. The critics who still question her abilities are lazy and just go with what has been put out there about her acting in the past; I even question whether they truly evaluate her acting, which requires them to have some unbiased, independent, critical thinking skills (which they should have anyways whether they are writing about Kristen or another actor). That being said, I would like her to tackle a role that requires her to be *loud* – an evil persona with a *take no prisoners* attitude. She can play it – that Chanel short, the Rolling Stones video and the NYT short all show us she can play those roles. But whether she wants to do those roles (and I think she does but the role just hasn’t materialized yet – and let’s put aside the reality that roles for actresses in Hollywood are limited) remains to be seen. I’m still on the hope train. Jmo.

Google translation:

The surrealism of glory

The actress Kristen Stewart reveals what she thinks of ghosts about what she is afraid of and why she does not need a personal shopper, even if she plays one in her new film.

“Personal Shopper” is about surrealism of fame. They play a young woman who does things that are normal for ordinary people: clothing shopping, cleaning, buying gifts. How many of these arrangements do you have to meet in your own life?

The figure of the Maureen is very ambivalent to the fashion industry and the glittering world, sometimes with desire, sometimes with self-hatred. Yes, now I am on the other side. I know that you can not even go shopping. Technically it may be possible, but logistically it is an impossibility. Or the trouble is simply not worth it. (Laughs briefly) Maureen, on the other hand, is full of movement, she is so alert and nimble that I feel compared to her, as if I had no legs.

What is your relationship to smartphones? Is it as for Maureen in the film, the dominant means of communication of your everyday life?

Smartphones are a constant source of distraction. I also plead guilty to let myself be distracted too often. It is strange how intensively one deals with text messages: one interprets a deeper meaning in the fact that three points were used instead of one, or that an extra space was inserted between words.

The smartphone is in “Personal Shopper” something like your co-star. They play almost alone. How did you get to generate so much voltage just with SMS messages as opposed?

Whenever an SMS was shown big, it should feel as if you saw a close-up of my face. The tension that is going through my body at that moment should become visible. Every letter, every spelling error, every punctuation mark should speak volumes. It is fascinating, each of us has a different way of writing text messages. This is an individual language code, a new image of your thinking.

Have you ever tried “Digital Detox” and the smartphone deliberately avoided?

I’m not addicted, so it does not need a withdrawal. As soon as I realize that I’m accessing the smartphone for no reason at all, I’m looking for something more meaningful to pass the time. I only run a private Instagram account, which keeps me in touch with the loved ones, with whom I do not speak regularly. Otherwise, social media does not take place with me.

This is your second movie with Olivier Assayas. Is he a director who is different from filmmaking than his colleagues in Hollywood?

We connect friendship and closeness. I have the feeling that he actually understands me – I do not have to explain. Our trust makes it possible for us to tackle difficult issues. We can be sure that everyone will catch the other with a safety net if you fall too hard. Besides, he makes such a fire under my ass, he spurs me on like no one before. Olivier is a catalyst for me, which initiates intense thought processes, which I should contribute to the design of a role. This gives me the feeling of being creatively involved and not just fulfilling the ideas of another.

Her character, Maureen ….

… is completely on its own. She is lonely, can not talk to anyone. This is because she has lost her twin brother and is only “half a man”, in the truest sense of the word. The mobile phone gives her the feeling of being alive and feeling emotions. This raises a frightening light on how interpersonal communication works today and how our relationship to technology is.

What do you think of unnatural phenomena, connections to the beyond, or beyond our directly experienceable world?

I am in the agnostic: I do not know if there are such forces, but I do not doubt it either. I myself sometimes feel energies and have the feeling that something drives me, which I can only comprehend rationally, which moves beyond the mind.

What is your conclusion from the assumption that there may be more between heaven and earth than we human beings dream of us?

The assumption triggers an interesting process of thinking for me each time, but I have to escape after a maximum of five minutes, so it is so scary. This makes this film so frightening. It is a ghost story – but the questions that are raised are fundamental: “Do I just imagine things around me? Is the ‘reality’ only from different perceptions, or are we actually experiencing them together? “One can not deal with such questions without a physical one shaking with fear sometimes.

What makes you afraid?

The thought that we will never know exactly who and where we are. The moments when Maureen staggers and she can no longer be sure of things around her, I find disturbing and unpleasant. I know such anxiety from my own experience. And I am very happy when I come out.

How do you experience these anxiety states, how do you get rid of it?

I am physically completely crammed with fear. The only way to counteract it is when I go jogging or something else that brings me out of such thoughts. Because once again: you will never get the answers to these “big” questions anyway. You have to make your peace with the fact that you will never know exactly how it all actually behaves. Nevertheless, I am firmly convinced that there is something invisible that binds us all together and keeps us from feeling lonely.

Do you have the feeling that you have arrived at the age of 26?

Yes, I think I have found my inner peace. Peace, however, should not be confused with satisfaction – that is not what I am striving for. I find it good to feel a little uncomfortable and to question things. I like to get rid of unknown, uncomfortable things and like to explore new territories. This is not peaceful – but give me inner peace.

In a scene in “Personal Shopper” you are seen naked. Did you mind that?

I am always ready for all the crimes. Here I play a person in a massive identity crisis. I wanted to go as far as I could in my presentation – to act as completely as I possibly can, acting as naked as I can. The coolest thing you can experience as an actress is not just delivering a performance but being totally shocked by your own game and allowing the director to catch that. You can only get it if you are completely exposed. For me it is the greatest thing if something shows itself, of which I myself did not know that it is in me.

In Cannes, the film polarized, among the applause also mixed boo calls.

I have a soft spot for all the festivals where films are what they are really about. Cannes takes a very special place: here you are exclusively to deal with film art. So it does not feel like I’m here to sell anything. But for the sake of love for films.

Selling yourself has become part of your profession. Do you have a personal shopper at your side?

I have a stylist who has been advising me since I was very young. But she does not go shopping for me, no.

They give us an insight into an unknown world. Is a Chanel boutique for a personal shopper nothing but a kind of luxury supermarket for haute couture?

Who actually buys in Chanel’s Showrooms is ultra-rich or Personal Shoppers. Only these groups can afford the exquisite fashion art of Chanel Couture. Basically, it is an investment in an art form, just as if you put your money in a painting.

You see yourself as an artist. Is not it a dilemma for you to be a sort of changing advertising column for a couture house, whether in advertisements or by wearing the brand on public occasions?

I never feel used by them in an unpleasant way. This is because Chanel stands out in the fashion world among all competitors. For it is still an independent, independent company – the last luxury brand that does not belong to a group. And you feel that. It is noticeable in its approach to aesthetics. This art actually means something to you. One has to compare the Chanel associates with people who are tears with a sunset when they are moved, while others do not appreciate it.

How is it to play someone whose existence is not relevant to you?

I know this job inside and out, even if I do not need a personal shopper. Everything I wear on big presses or the red carpet is lent. That’s why I do not need anyone to choose clothes for me. I see this as an interaction with this art form, but it is only in the context of a film.

Is designer clothing for you a kind of protective armor, a uniform for PR occasions?

For me, when she does her job well, she’s the exact opposite: she gives me the feeling that I do not have to hide. I like this. I do not find it superficial. I feel in these clothes as if I were to show my true self. I can feel like myself in the best form.

Could it tempt you to expand the radius of your art to direct?

I actually shot my own short film last summer. This is almost my personal attempt to replace a film study … An experimental film, it will look like a student film. I wrote the screenplay myself and was very attached to the words. I know what they mean to me and what they do with other people. I hope this is not lost in the implementation. The working title is “Subjective Change”. Maybe I call it but also simply “water”.

Great write-up! One of the best descriptions of each character I’ve read. Well done Violet Lucca.

(While we are at it, I’m laughing at critics who are on their way to Sundance and to their reactions to 7° in Park City. Poor guys. LOL)

Yay!

She’s gonna get home, switch suitcases (hopefully !!!) and probably be on her way to Utah tomorrow. No time to rest at all.
We’ll see how all of this will end.

I adore this dog! The *chick* isn’t too bad either! 😉

She’ll sleep on the planes hopefully (vaguely remember her saying in an interview that she can sleep anywhere – might be I imagined it, though).

And I just saw his name is Clyde!! Cuteness overload, people!!

Yeah, I know. But it goes with the attitude, rock&roll and all that.

Agree……………………………….

Enjoy!

On this day 3 years ago (CXR after party, Sundance 2014).

Hm. Is the weather that bad? Wonder for when Kristen’s flight is scheduled.

Lets hope that forecast is right then.

OT. So, just got back from watching Silence. Initial thoughts: Not a film for the faint of heart. The torture scenes are very difficult but are integral to the storyline. The acting was very, very good from all parties. I am quite impressed with both Adam Driver and Andrew Garfield. I could see Andrew G. receiving an Oscar nom if the stars align themselves in his favor. I don’t think Silence will win BP but I do think it will get an Oscar nod. And Martin S. gets an A++++ for having all Japanese roles played by Asians (mostly Japanese but there may have been other Asians represented in the cast – although, from what I could see in the credits all were Japanese names and all the major roles were Japanese actors).
It’s a very deep film that explores one’s faith at all levels. I’m still trying to decide what I really think of the film. I can say that it is both beautifully shot and wonderfully acted.

I think Andrew will be nominated but not for Silence. Mel’s film is his Oscar nom ticket and that movie will also, most likely, get a BP nom. Silence probably won’t. Even Best Director nom for Martin is up in the air at this point. Maybe some tech nominations.

Thanks for the review Eme. Hoping to see it this w/e. Saw Fences this past w/e and was blown away by the acting. Wish Viola was competing in BA. I thought Emma was really good in LLL but think Viola was on another level.

You’re welcome. Those kind of scenes are always so difficult to watch. I actually thought about you a few times during the movie.

Whole thing.

New pics.

LAX.

Ugh. Don’t know what to think about this. (And his next film was written by Olivier.)

@Les_Cesar and @canalplus are proud to present the President of the 42nd ceremony of the #César2017: Mr Roman Polanski

Sundance Come Swim premiere schedule for tomorrow.

https://twitter.com/queennn94/status/821688912506748928

Yeah, not too happy about Olivier working with this person. It is what it is.

https://twitter.com/THR/status/821670995975094273

True.

Yes, thank you Anna. Also, she really doesn’t have much time between when she arrived back in LA (last night?) and when she has to fly to Sundance for her premiere. Maybe she’s already left.

😉

I know few more things but not much (I don’t think I heard her sing like ever).
But she’s a celebrity with capital C, she cultivates her tabloid persona so, as such, she represents something Kristen kinda hates. But, who knows. She’s with Stella now, a VS model, so……………………………………….

And he does make terrific movies…

Yeah, me too.

Beautiful acting from the episode I saw. And from one of my favorite actors – Gillian Anderson. The guy that played Hannibal was good also but I couldn’t get over his creep factor.

Exactly.

Gillian is so so underrated.
Well, he is supposed to be that way so – goal achieved. LOL

Me too!
IDK. I’ve known him before that role so he’s not Hannibal to me. Nor is Anthony.

Yes, I guess because I didn’t know him before Hannibal that I can’t see him other than the role. But I’m willing to give him another view, as long as it’s not another creepy role. Then he’ll really be typecast for me! Bbl.

Hey, I hope there is a picture somewhere of that shooting star over Lily and Kristen.That would be awesome.

Why, did somebody remake it?

Silence is the kind of movie most need to see few times to fully absorb it. So it’s not exactly what Academy likes to go for.
As for Scorsese…he’s big enough of a name to get an Oscar nom even when his movie isn’t so we’ll see (but it’s going to be hard this year).

Supposedly she and Kristen have some mutual friends and Rita might have just been in Milan. Could just be an innocent follow after they hung out. Other options are that they’re going to work together or she’ll be Kristen’s next hookup (or both, like in St. Vincent’s case – who Kristen just unfollowed on IG).

I think they will on Friday.

Idk, not every single one of Kristen’s followers means “something”. Maybe, maybe not.

Yes, St. Vincent is still following Kristen. I don’t think she’ll do any promo with Kristen and she apparently has another event elsewhere tomorrow. I think she’ll be asked about it too, and so will Kristen, but they’re both professional. St. Vincent tweeted about it after they had broken up already.

My mistake, I thought it was the 20th.

It’s OK.
It’s always a day after Oscar noms so it’s easy to remember.

Great quotes from reviews, though, and all from the best critics.

I think maybe you can still technically follow someone if you’re blocked on IG. Not sure but we may have no way of knowing if she was blocked by Kristen.

That last shot! The expression in her eyes could melt a glacier! Loved, loved this shoot!

OMG!!! The headband has made it’s official appearance! Cuteness overload!
