Kristen Stewart wrote a ‘sick’ short film: ‘It’s like a poem; it’s about water’

KS1

Kristen Stewart covers the Spring edition of Wonderland Magazine. The editorial was shot by Hedi Slimane. I kind of think Slimane is overrated as a photographer – he almost always does black & white, girls are always dressed as tomboys, and there’s usually very little “spark”. Especially here with K-Stew – the only spark is her lighter as she sparks up another cigarette. So hardcore, K-Stew! Her Wonderland interview isn’t wildly offensive, which is a nice change of pace. She talks about feminism and it’s all well and good. And then she chats about her future art projects and I laughed. Sorry, girl. Some highlights:

Reverse-Feminism: “It’s silly to play the devil’s advocate when having a conversation about female roles in Hollywood, because then you’re doing this “reverse feminism” thing that has become weirdly trendy recently.”

Generational feminism: “I feel like some girls around my age are less inclined to say, ‘Of course I’m a feminist, and of course I believe in equal rights for men and women’, because there are implications that go along with the word feminist that they feel are too in-your-face or aggressive. A lot of girls nowadays are like, ‘Eww, I’m not like that’. They don’t get that there’s no one particular way you have to be in order to stand for all of the things feminism stands for.’

Her short film about water: “I wrote a sick short film that I’m really proud of. It’s more abstract rather than super-narrative. It’s like a poem; it’s about water. People ask, ‘Why not just direct a feature?’ But I want to play around first. I want to have experience. I think the first thing I’m going to make will live in the in-between moments.”

“It’s like a poem; it’s about water” is going to be my new go-to answer for everything. You don’t get me. You don’t understand my vision. This post is like a poem. It’s about water. My life is like a poem. It’s about water. And yes, of course K-Stew is not interested in “super-narrative.” She made a short film about one perfect water drop. It’s going to be such a hit at the Hipsters-Only Short Film Garage Band Festival.

As for the feminism stuff, I think she’s dead-on and I hope her words reach some of her younger fans. How is it that Kristen Stewart has a more coherent take on modern feminism than Kaley Cuoco?

    Somewhere Taylor Swift’s lawyers’ ears perked up.

  2. Jegede says:

    I like these pics.

    • CB says:

      I don’t think she’s a feminist since she changes her appearance and personality according to who she dates. When she was with Rob, she was super long hair, feminine, talking about licking his pits. Now that she’s with a girl she’s become Shane from the L Word.

      She needs to quit acting and be Kristin Stewart whoever that is.

      • mimif says:

        Yeah because feminists aren’t allowed to discover themselves.

      • InvaderTak says:

        People change. Sometimes drastically, for a variety of reasons. Especially people in their 20s. It doesn’t have to be because of a relationship.

      • Elly says:

        “When she was with Rob, she was super long hair, feminine, talking about licking his pits. ” ??? How is this anti-feminist? Honest question.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        Didn’t she have her hair long when she was with Rob because they were filming Twilight? Then she cut it into a mullet for a film?

        It seems she changes her look more for work than anything.

      • Jessica says:

        Biggest BS ever. Her hair was cut for the movie “Equals.” She has ALWAYS dressed like a tomboy with skinny jeans, t-shirts, and converse.

      • malina says:

        I don’t know whether it is important for your argument but if I remember right it was Rob licking her pits.

      • Kiddo says:

        People need to look the same FOREVER, the end.

      • Kitten says:

        Yup. I still have Michelle Duggar hair like I did in third grade, because society says that I change my 80s hairstyle, then I can no longer be a feminist.

      • Bugglez says:

        What are u talking about. This girls pretty consistent in how she presents herself. Tomboy. Also what does who she’s effing have to do with anything. She can be bisexual or a lesbian finding herself (she started dating pattinson at 17 ) without deliberately misleading anyone you know? Chill with the hate.

  3. taterho says:

    Deep man. Your mind is like a parachute you know? It doesn’t work unless you open it. *toke*
    I kid. I kid. She actually looks pretty hot here.

    • mimif says:

      I think she’s lovely. I don’t get the hate for her at all.

      • taterho says:

        She’s like those fake potato skin chips. Sometimes I eat the whole bag and I’m like “mmmmmmmmm” then other times I’m like “why do they do these things humanity? Why?”
        Kristen is my Fake Potato Skin Chip.
        Like I only like Anne Hathaway on Wednesdays.

      • mimif says:

        Fake potato skin chips…have I been living under a rock? Must investigate immediately. 🏃

      • taterho says:

        If you try them, bring plenty of pot and Wavy Gravy poem cds.

      • Kiddo says:

        Do they feed those to fake babies?

      • Tristan says:

        Same here. People seem to forget she is only 24 years old & are really ready to judge her every misstep very harshly. I think she’s a very interesting young woman who is finding herself & makes no apologies about it. She certainly comes across as being far more intelligent and interesting than many of her peers.

    • Kiddo says:

      Who has seen the wind?
      Neither you nor I.
      But when the trees bow down their heads
      The wind is passing by.

      Who has seen the wind?
      Neither you nor I.
      But when the trees bow down their heads
      The wind is passing by.

      Oh, wind, wind
      Wind, wind, wind.

      • mimif says:

        When I am dead, my dearest,
        Sing no sad songs for me;
        Plant thou no roses at my head,
        Nor shady cypress tree:
        Be the green grass above me
        With showers and dewdrops wet;
        And if thou wilt, remember,
        And if thou wilt, forget.

        I shall not see the shadows,
        I shall not feel the rain;
        I shall not hear the nightingale
        Sing on, as if in pain:
        And dreaming through the twilight
        That doth not rise nor set,
        Haply I may remember,
        And haply may forget.

      • mia girl says:

        Ok these poems, are all great but are they from your “personal collection of poetry”.

        You all need to sit around a campfire with Sean Penn.

        ABBOT! Dude, seriously just summoned you on the Philodendron Lively thread. What the ever living f-ck happened the other day?

        *sends body double to sit at DB Society campfire poem-a-along*

        I keep laughing out loud when mimif says Charlie Hunnam’s Pussy. My cats are so done with me right now.

      • Abbott says:

        Hey, hey!
        No clue. I was told I was all that is wrong in the world (or something). Didn’t really phase me since my coworkers tell me that on the regular. They once put it on a birthday cake and it wasn’t even my birthday. Anywho…

        ETA: I just went back to look and …. oh dear. That turned into one hell of a dumpster fire. Thanks, mimif for the kind words (and Beth, wherever you are).

      • mimif says:

        Dude if you are all that’s wrong, I don’t ever want to be right.

      • Kiddo says:

        What happened? 💣💣?

      • wolfpup says:

        Kiddo – what happened was utter delight! “Oh, wind, wind, wind”…

        Mimif, “dreaming thru the twilight”…(toke!)

        Ladies upthread, what talent!!!

  4. bns says:

    I find her impossible to like.

  5. Tiffany says:

    I have to ask, are we sure that she gave this interview in person as it seems more thoughtful and put together compared to others that she has given in the past.

  6. Annie says:

    “People ask, ‘Why not just direct a feature?’ But I want to play around first.”

    Yeah, because everyone is lining up to give you a feature film to direct, when you haven’t proven you can open a movie by yourself outside of Twilight.

    She’s still so far up her own ass.

  7. Jessica says:

    I don’t find anything funny about what she said. She gave a great interview. Love her comments on feminism. Love her complimenting “the Emmas.” Love what she said about needing to take risks. She didn’t exactly expand much on her short film, so it’s a bit premature to be mocking her. Probably won’t be everyone’s taste, but it’s great to see a woman embracing filmmaking when there are so few in Hollywood. She had an awesome year and I’m excited for the rest of her movies.

    • Jessica Fletcher says:

      The Emmas?
      Who they? Where that?
      😋

      • Jessica says:

        LOL. In the article she praises Emma Watson for her speech and says that she thinks Emma Stone would’ve been hilarious in her (Kristen’s) role in American Ultra.

  8. PunkyMomma says:

    She rocks that haircut.

  9. Dawn says:

    She looks great in those pictures. But really black and white photos are the best. I like what she said about feminism in Hollywood too. This sounds like a good interview to me.

  10. Cali says:

    I just can’t. These celebrities are so ridiculous and shallow and hilarious when they try to be all deep and shit.

  11. kim says:

    I wrote a sick short film- really does sounds like some tool would say. I don’t know exactly why but she seems forever awkward to me, seems like she takes herself super seriously.

  12. Mia4S says:

    Wow, how much weed is she smoking these days! Hey if she wants to use her own money to make her odd to water? Why not! Just…keep those Chanel contracts coming if you’re going to throw away cash like that. Wasn’t her mother hitting her up for money for films for awhile?

  13. scout says:

    I always thought her life is like a poem too, like about a airhead! New GF is done some Alchemy on her, working for the better? or NOT.

  14. InvaderTak says:

    Is sick still used like that? Am I a sorely square twenty something, who lacks artistic taste? Water? Maybe if it was about wter shortage, rights, cleanliness etc I could see that. But just an ode to H2o? Huh?

    I do agree about Slimane being over rated. Him and Annie leibowitz just need to stop

  15. kri says:

    She sounds a bit like The Great Philosopher Of Our Time-Jaden Smith. But hey, she does photograph so beautifully. And she is trying something new, so…props? I’m thinking she’s trying to learn about who she is, so I can’t hate on that.

  16. Catelina says:

    shes right about the feminism stuff, but “its about water” made me laugh a little bit

  17. Mi says:

    Funny that no one of those ”feministic” discussions made by young actresses never mention what is casting couch in HW.Their feminism has nothing to do with real problems of women rights and equality,they just discuss what their PR reps asked them to say.You can’t be a feminist sleeping with married director to keep the role in the movie because sexual dependence of men in charge was one of the reasons why feministic movement happened at all.

    • Div says:

      He was a first time director and she was at the height of her fame back in 2012. He couldn’t do anything for her and wasn’t responsible for casting. It’s not like he was Michael Bay with a string of hits. It’s ridic that people bring up that faulty argument and say she can’t be a feminist. Even if she did, people can still grow and be feminists.

      • Jessica says:

        X10000

      • Mi says:

        His wife was in swath despite she’s not an actress only model,do you think he had nothing to do with the casting her?He would easily convince the studio to cast kStew in the sequel.Feminism is about women’s rights and if an actress discussing it in contecst of Hollywood industry she is a hypocrite because it’s the most misogynistic and hating women place and if she would say it openly she would never got a job again.I don’t know how a woman who stabbed another woman in the back(especially a mother who put on hold her career) could be a feminist.Being misstress of married man is the most derogatory position that women put themselves since ages,for men’ benefits,of course.Men just want to have money to buy or ”buy” young women.For mostly that reason women have a bad luck in getting high paid jobs because men in charge defend their positions and are not interested in sharing it with women,especially older and not so attractive.

      • Div says:

        Sure, because a five minute role is the same as the lead role. Asking for someone to have a cameo is a hell of a lot different from a lead with a ten million dollar paycheck. Roll my eyes. It’s also pretty telling that he hasn’t even directed another film while she’s done several projects. Even if that wasn’t the case and KStew wasn’t the one in power, you do realize that men who abuse the position of power should get some blame? Aren’t you the poster who screeched at Kaiser for affectionately referring to RPattz as Sparkles last week and called it disrespectful? I think you Twi hards aren’t exactly reasonable when it comes to anyone involved in those films.

        Anyway, agree to disagree and frankly this hashing of a three or four year old scandal has nothing to do with the post.

  18. Lucy says:

    Say what you will about (I do too), but she’s ALWAYS on point about feminism.

    • suziekew says:

      Ugh! No she’s not on point. Kristen doesn’t have a clue what it’s like to embrace the true issues facing women in the real world. As Mi said above, she’s only spouting off what her Publicist tells her to say. She is prepped to the max by her reps before each and every interview and photo shoot. I’m sick of her BS words that make relatively little sense and subsequent contradictory actions.

      • Another Nina says:

        See, my take is that she is always absolutely unprepared for her interviews and I see no plausible explanation for that. How difficult could it to memorize 4 sentences and then recall them In morning programm? I remember her painful snow white related PR tour… So, she would get in red eye from LA to NYC, then she would get into trouble of getting done some sophisticated braids, then she’d get some exquisite make up done, and then she would be unable to squiz out even one coherent sentence…Charlize had to save her again and again…

      • Jessica says:

        Well then that (dumbass) argument goes for any privileged celebrity who doesn’t know the first thing about the “real world,” but I am guessing you don’t bitch about them when they speak appropriately on feminism. Just a hunch.

      • Lucy says:

        Uh, I meant that, when talking about feminism, she has never said anything that didn’t make sense. Publicist or not, her answer has always remained the same. Now, if she actually walks the talk, that’s a complete different story. She does have the tools to do so, that’s for sure. No one else but her can decide whether to use them or not.

  19. Div says:

    She has a good grasp on feminism and I hope it spreads to some of the Twi Hards who desperately need to become feminists. Lordy, she can be diet James Franco at times (the water) but at least she’s not opening up her own art show or whatever or trying to publish a novel. She sounds like she’s matured a bit and is doing better with the interviews.

  20. Nicole says:

    You don’t have to use your celebrity influence to do good in the world, but maybe take the cancer advertisement out of your mouth.

  21. jenn12 says:

    She has said so many stupid, offensive things that it was nice to hear a decent thing come out of her mouth, especially concerning feminism. I personally can’t stand her; she’s like people that move to Williamsburg and devote their lives to being what they think is avant garde.

  22. Tommi Davis says:

    She needs to go to online college quick. If this is what’s informing our youth, God help us. Bc tomboy to chanel Karl degrading women is very feminist. She can’t articulate a sentence structure without a dude or a like. Who is blowing up her ego to think this is how people talk? Her friends do her disservice. She looks fine here, finally growing into her looks but @kaiseratcb has to see that this entire shoot looks like the same shoot Heidi did for Rob, each shot. Also Kristen morphs into each person she’s around… Her boyfriends or now her girlfriends or her movie characters that we hardly ever see her. Lost soul. Alicia was just outed last week bc the pap that photos them daily said Alicia calls them to give their address. Ouch. K is pressed
