Robert Pattinson�s nice words about his new movieWater for Elephants have somehow been turned against him by � surprise! � HollywoodLife.
Those experts in exaggeration twistwhat Pattinson recently told MTV about the experience of doing the highly anticipated book adaptation with Reese Witherspoon.
Water for Elephants �definitely felt like I was doing a big movie when I was doing it and it felt totally different from doing something within the Twilight world,�said Pattinson, explaining, �Because now it just seems so familiar, theTwilight stuff.�
�It�s just like going to a normal job,� observed Pattinson of the vampire series.
Sounds about right, yes?
The actor clearly means that wrapping up his time as Edward Cullen withBreaking Dawn feels �normal� in that he�s so familiar with the role and comfortable with the process.
After all, Pattinson�s rise to stardom parallels the Twilight series� rapid pop cultural explosion.
Pattinson is not saying that Twilight is some kind of humdrum cubicle gig he can barely stand.
Instead of treating the star�s remarks in the spirit they were intended, however, HollywoodLife opts for controversy, wondering whether they constituted a �diss� of Kristen Stewart.
�These comments must hurt the actress,� declares HollywoodLife.
Why?
Why does every utterance of flattery need to be an insult at the same time? Why can�t Pattinson love the camaraderie and comfort of his signature Twilight �job,� and also love the new challenges of Water for Elephants? Why does it have to be either/or?
The answer is that HollywoodLife needs to create an angle, pitting Stewart against Witherspoon, movie against movie, and Pattinson against the Twilight franchise.
HollywoodLife just continues to �diss� its readers with insulting stories like this one.
