The other day I admitted an affection for Twilight star Robert Pattinson, mostly centered around the fact that I successfully avoided all things Twilight. Also he is attractive and he's fetishized David Cronenberg movies. Win! Today I'm going to be even more daring and admit an affection for Twilight star Kristen Stewart, who doesn't have the benefit of being a person I would sleep with. But I still like her, haters be damned - she seems like a good little stoner, and anybody that Charlize approves, I approve. And now I have even more reason to like her! My friend Sean caught this passage from an interview with her in the new issue of Elle:

My friend Sean caught this passage from an interview with her in the new issue of Elle:
"Drifting over to the graphic novel section, Stewart gasps at seeing Black Hole. “This fucking store is like kismet!” she says. “I want to do this movie!” The book, about a sexually transmitted plague, “is disgusting, so gross,” Stewart enthuses. “I love the first image” – she turns to a completely black page with a white vagina-shape opening in the center – “a slit. You just grow, like, holes in your body. The imagery is so weird. See” – she flips to another page – “he’s looking at her hand and soon there’s gonna be a little mouth in there. It’s so sexual, the desire is so fucking palpable, but it feels so dirty, like [the characters] are so ashamed because they’re diseased, they’re literally getting these holes.”
What I find especially awesome about these admittances from me on liking the Twilight stars is that both were spurred along by their exuberant admiration of gaping wounds and the artists that celebrate them. Hooray body horror! But if Kristen Stewart throws her accumulated box office might towards finally getting a movie made out of the deeply disturbing masterpiece that is Black Hole, I will never ever abandon her.

I'm waiting until I watch a Kristen Stewart movie where she's not playing a sullen teenager to decide whether or not I like her. But if you like Kristen Stewart, it might be worth checking out her movie Speak. It was easily her best role from the ones I've seen. Although that's about four, so I'm not exactly an expert.
I'm pleased with myself for recognising that the guy who did Black Hole was also one of the artists for Fears Of The Dark, based on the art style. Anyway, I'd like to read that. It sounds interesting, and his story from Fears Of The Dark was my favourite one.
I kinda did picture Kristen in a movie adaptation of Black Hole (as Chris). With the right director and the right screenplay, I'm sure she wouldn't be awful in it. Add a soundtrack by Fever Ray and I'm sold.
