Actors not to hate

It's very hard to like anyone involved in the Twilight franchise. None of it is the actors' fault, obviously, and I doubt they're fully aware of the hacked shitstorm headed their way in the next few scripts, but it's still very hard to see tiny girls squeeing over suicidal heroines who want to marry young and -- well, you'll have to wait for the rest to be horribly revealed. But then I read this in an interview with GQ:

Twilight got mixed reviews but opened huge anyway, pulling down $70 million in three days. By then the screaming had started. Girls who’d been in love with Edward on the page suddenly had a real-live human to focus their passion on. The cast’s public appearances occasioned Hard Day’s Night hysteria. In London, Pattinson’s friends watched in horror as the crowd swallowed him. At a mall in San Francisco, Pattinson was supposed to sign autographs for about 500 fans at a Hot Topic store; a few thousand showed up. Pattinson claims not to remember the chaos that resulted, although he says it in a shaky voice, like someone claiming not to remember shit that went down in Nam.

That is hilarious. So, along with Tina Fey musing as to whether or not he's Satan and him responding with a crush, Robert Pattinson has neutralised at least a bit of the Twilight nasty.
