All Hail The New Meryl Streep And Marlon Brando

Some say that Kristen Stewart has the charisma and acting skills of a KFC chicken bone that has fallen out of a trash can in an alley way and left for the mangy cats of the neighborhood to chew on. Okay the "some" might have been me after watching two Twilight movies (I deserve your judgments) and The Runaways (I deserve your judgments, the sequel). But James Woods and the director of Welcome to the Rileys disagree with that shit and think that Kirsten Stewart's gonna needs a bigger shelf for all the Oscars she's going to collect in the future.

At a screening for WTTR, James Woods, who will be directing Kristen in her next movie, compared her to Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro. If we ever need a poster child for the "Friends Don't Let Friends Talk About Kristen Stewart's Acting Skills While High On Coke Campaign", James Woods is it!

"The really great ones kind of submerge themselves. I always say that Kristen is like Brando, and I've always thought that she had that incredible sort of internal ability to submerge into the role and be lost in it in a good way. You know, so I see that with the best actors, DeNiro's like that, so many good actors are like that.

I have from the second I saw her in the Panic Room. I just thought this kid has something different. She just has something different.

She just has insight, that unique insight that certain people have. You're not getting a cookie cutter performance. You're getting something that you don't expect. You don't know where to go and you kind of take the ride. I think she has the potential to be one of the best of her generation if not the best."

Jake Scott, the director of Welcome to the Rileys, is marching right behind James Woods in the parade of love for Kristen Stewart's acting. Jake told MTV that Kristen's acting is like that Meryl Street stuff. By "stuff" he didn't mean the remnants of a Meryl Streep bowel movement. No, he meant she's got that thespian magic.

"She's grown up, you know. She's a woman now. She was a girl, or a young woman, when I first met her... I've known her three years and she's just become this wonderful woman. She's gonna do some um... I mean.. That's some Meryl Streep stuff, you know?"

First it was "Megan Fox is the next Katharine Hepburn" and now this?!

Since it's bound to be said in the next few months, let's just get it out of the way now. If we do it all at once it will hurt less. JUSTIN BIEBER IS THE NEW JOHN LENNON! WILLOW SMITH IS THE NEW TINA TURNER! NOAH CYRUS IS THE NEW MAE WEST!

I watched the first Twilight, at a friend's house. It was painful to watch - the acting was horrible, especially this no talent hack.

At one point, Kristen Stewart was gonna be a great actress. Better than anyone twice her age. "Catch that Kid" sucked, but she was fun. :-(

Then she did "Twilight" and became everybody's whipping bitch on DListed.

Then again, if I was gonna get paid zillions of dollars from a piece of shit franchise, I'd sell out too.

Talent (which she doesnt have) doesnt matter. The key to success in show biz is 90% looks (i.e. how camera ready are you) and 10% acting ability. That's why the last guy keeps emphasizing the "she is a WOMAN now" part so much. What he really means is that she looks good on camera all dolled up
________________________________________________

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but IMHO even when she is all dolled up she looks very plain. She's no young Angelina Jolie (pre-Pitt, pre-all that surgery on her face) or Scarlett Johanssen.

People said Lindsay Lohan was going to be the next Meryl Steep and look what happened to her.

I know it's not very relevant to this post but this post made me think of that.

DeNiro hand picked her to play his daughter in What Just Happened, just in case anyone was wondering. He's a big fan of Kristen, thinks she's the best of her generation.

But if it depends on looks, how come KStew aka Ratface is famous? She has a body like a boy and a face like a ferret.

That's why the last guy keeps emphasizing the "she is a WOMAN now" part so much. What he really means is that she looks good on camera all dolled up. Since movies are a visual thing, you have to look good. Period. These statements are so unqualified and just really unfair to all those wonderful actors out there who have been in the business for decades but do not receive such star recognition because they werent cast in some big, hollow blockbuster trash like Twilight.

There are so many awesome movies and TV shows out there (especially from back in the 80s and 70s, early 90s) were the actors do such terrific jobs portraying a character and here you got these two directors praising this commercialized bitch as the best thing since Brando. That is nonsense. First of all, she cannot act. I have seen her in other movies besides the Twilight trash sagas and she really always plays herself. That look on her face, her stoner eyes, the lack of spunk and expression. Even in Twilight.

In panic Room she was a kid and Rob Reiner once said that most directors, when they cast for kids, try to cast as close to their own personalities as possible since they are so young and do not have much training. So, she wasnt doing anything extraordinary in Panic Room, she was just playing herself. If she had become a long lost child star like McCauley Culkin or that kid from Wonder Kid Tate, they wouldnt be saying this. But since she made it big in box office hits, she just must be the best right? Because apparently money = talent these days. Very sad - for all of us. If i was an actor now with classical training at Julliard but turned down all my life because i didnt look "hot" and box office enough, I would be pissed at those comments.

Isn't K-Stew a little old for James Woods? Have you seen the fetuses he dates? I can't believe he hasn't heard, "I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC" yet when he shows up to take a chick on a date. It will happen though. Trust.

James Woods has got to to be high. This bitch CANNOT act. She played each of her parts in Twilight, The Runaways, and Adventureland exactly the same. Which was basically just saying the lines she had memorized and in Adventureland touching her hair constantly.

Roger Ebert thinks shes the shit too and that makes no sense to me. I don't agree with everything he says but you'd think he'd be able to tell a shitty actress from a good one. Maybe he just thinks she's hot and that is clouding his judgment.

James Woods used to be a cool edgy actor, but in recent years, his real-life comments have revealed him to be one messed up scary guy. His whole post 9/11 brush with terrorism talk show circuit thingy was weird, the too-young girlfriend being weird at his brother's funeral, and other similar experiences.

Thanks MK, I remember all the good reviews about her acting in the Runaways and thought, wtf, did I watch the same movie?

She's got no expression whatsoever, doesn't add any credibility to the character, her acting doesn't feel natural at all, unlike Dakota Fanning, that one is for real.

Perhaps Jodie Foster is right, and mom pushed her to act. That's a good explanation.

@joanie balogna: You are right about Hillary Swank, but you know what?
I don't think she's that good an actress. I think she's been lucky to get great roles with great directors and taken chances in a couple of her movies (why not? Nothing to lose) that got recognition

They do give Oscars to bad actresses... just look at Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls". That was total fuckin' hype and she only won because of the song, not for her wooden acting. Jennifer can't act.

Co-signed. Giving Swank 2 Oscars was bad enough, but "The Oscar goes to Jennifer Hudson" has made the award mean less than nothing. I can't even stand to listen to her radio commercials for Weight Watchers. Bitch can't even be herself believably.

Kristen is the same way. She is casted in a beloved series, but really has brought nothing new or interesting to the role of Bella.

Winona is Brando compared to Kristen Stewart. All of those Twilight kids are worryingly wooden for how popular they are.

James Woods dated Sean Young...I think that fact alone takes away any credibility in his judgment.

Coke is evil indeed...or Kristen is giving the best BJs in the bizz...who knew? This bowl of oatmeal would have never made the cut in casting central back in the day let alone be leading lady material. She was so forgettable in Panic Room that I did not even remember she was Jodie's brat in that flick.

I saw the first 2 Twilight movies...#1 because I was curious, #2 because I thought Dakota Fanning was going to make that shit better...BIG disappointment and I ended up taking a $12 nap EVERY fucking time...never AGAIN!

James Woods is on crack! He must want to get into her panties, that is the ONLY reason that delicious piece of fuckery.

Instead, I believe what the ultimate closeted gayelle, Jodie Foster, said about Kristen and her acting "career"...
--------------------------------------------------
"She's a great person, and I'm not surprised she's gone on to to do great things. But I am surprised she is an actress. I didn't think that's where she was headed. And even though her mom said, 'No, she really really wants to be an actress,' I felt like, Nah, she won't because she really doesn't have the stereotypical personality."
--------------------------------------------------

Jodie's got it right! After Twilight is over, you won't hear from this girl much anymore. She'll be selling real estate by the time she's 30 years old.

I attempted to watch the first two Twilight movies...we had a friend over at the time, who was highly intoxicated and overly talkative, so.....I missed much of each flick. Still have no idea on the storyline. Oh, and I wouldn't call Kristens acting "supurb" by any means.

So what if she puts a lot of thought and preperation into her performances? They don't translate on screen which means that she can think about it all the fuck she wants but it doesn't mean the end result will be good. The road to Hollywood apparently is paved with good intentions because all you need to continue to get work is the WANT to be good? Psh.
