R.Patz vs. R.Patz

Okay, I'm as big of a Twilight fan as the next person, but I have to admit--I think the film franchise is seriously down-playing Robert Pattinson's acting chops. Granted, I think most of that has to do with the character he's playing and the writing of the script. He really isn't given a chance to showcase his talent, which is a shame. Unlike Twilight, Remember Me gives R.Patz the room and opportunity to really spread his wings and show some range. Once again, some of this is due to the writing of the character but I think Pattinson takes it another step forward. You see the character evolve (due to the writing) but you believe it as well (due to Pattinson). Also, it doesn't hurt that he's playing opposite another talented actress (Emilie de Ravin), unlike the Twilight films. Let's be real, Kristen Stewart leaves a lot to be desired. It's a shame that this film didn't get the exposure that it deserved. Yes, after seeing the film you realize it's a little gimmicky. It hits on subject matters that will touch anyone but show business is a business. Why produce a product that you know people won't buy? Regardless of this, I still think Remember Me was unfortunately overlooked and people pay more attention to his role in an underwhelming movie than in one that carries quite a bit of potential.

I am especially excited for Water for Elephants and look forward to (hopefully) a very promising performance. He has potential that Twilight just stifles.

MTV Movie Awards 2010

So I haven't watched the awards yet (they're on again tonight), but I do know who has won. I heard about the Best Kiss award for New Moon, and I wanted to see the acceptance speech.

I am definitely not a fan of Kristen Stewart. She seems rude and ingrateful, and I think her performance as Bella leaves something to be desired. However, this video of them seems quite adorable, and perhaps the playfulness of Robert Pattinson's personality would be good for Stewart. She needs to lighten up--majorly--and to not take herself so seriously. She's young and life is just really beginning for her, and she should just enjoy the ride. I don't like R.Patz and K-Stew together, personally, but I do like them in this video. Perhaps they will eventually grow on me.

Watch the video below (sorry about the so-so quality):
