Installment #who's counting of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn Part 2, hits theaters tomorrow, and I can proudly say, with some degree of certainty, that I’ve successfully stayed out of the Twilight fray having seen maybe 14 of the entire 4,200 total minutes of Kristen Stewart biting her lip over Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (well, their characters. I do realize they aren’t real but I can’t be bothered to memorize their character names).

Recently, I confessed to “not minding,” or rather, “kind of liking,” Kristen Stewart for reasons I couldn’t exactly articulate. I mean, she’s no thespian of the Emily Blunt sort, her hotness does not affect me in the way a Penelope Cruz type does and she doesn’t exactly come off as the life of the party like a Mila Kunis – or does she? I just can’t tell what I think about Kristen Stewart except that I kind of like / don’t mind her, and when pushed to come up with why I kind of like / don't mind her I came up with a few reasons. 

Reason #5 

Sorry Charlize devotees – of which I am often one – but Kristen Stewart was actually the best part of that Snow White and the Huntsman mess. Sure, Charlize Theron was deliciously over the top but it was like she was a different movie altogether.  She stood out – not in a good way—in a movie that was otherwise listless and drab. Plus, her accent was kind of bad. Anyway, Kristen Stewart just fit. She just worked in that overly long, monochromatic movie. Take that as you will.
