Don't call her Angel: Kristen Stewart hated filming Charlies Angels

[a_files06]

Kristen Stewart says her #CharliesAngels remake "was a good idea at the time," but "I hated making that movie. Honestly, the three…you can’t touch [that]. Cameron, Lucy and Drew…I love that movie! If that says anything." https://t.co/IySYgTclZK

From that quote alone, I don’t get the impression she was talking about the on-set experience, merely that she hated being part of such an awful movie…which, like you said, she signed on for.

It was from the video where she reads quotes from her movies (which there was already a post on…)

She kind of laughs it off idk. She didn’t sound vindictive and then says she how much she loves Cameron Lucy and Drew.

Elizabeth Banks would go on to reveal that she was disappointed in the films marketing stating that it was marketed solely towards females and the media made it out to be a feminist manifesto.

Most women led films seem to be marketed as feminist manifesto films atm which is annoying. Obviously feminism is important but I think you can get it into a film without clubbing people over the head with it. I think that's something books do at the moment better than movies.

A lot of women want to watch fun films with women a lot of the time.

I think there's too much "tell" instead of "show" with feminism in media lately. It feels like they're lecturing the audience, and the audience is usually on their side. Like the original movies you can tell they're taking advantage of the fact that their looks will make people underestimate them and they're having fun with that, they don't have to say it.

Though those original movies are very much objectifying the angels and my feminist brain is like "hey wait..." while my lesbian brain is just like "Lucy Liu as a dominatrix, yes please". I'm literally over here looking up clips of the pink panther dance scene from the sequel as I type this lol. So conflicted!

Your point about lecturing the audience is well made. I feel like having moments that show microaggressions and women bossing the reaction are more fun than having a woman lecturing someone about feminism.

Yeah one of my favorite feminist films is 9 to 5 and I love that it shows no amount of lecturing or complaining fixes the situation with the boss. Sometimes you just have to get a guy out of the way (by getting high and kidnapping him) to fix things in his absence lol.

There is a time for just surviving and there is a time for action and very few films get that just right. Instead a lot of them now just default to lecturing which works in the real world about as well as it makes for a watchable film.

We know, Kristin....you hate everything, yuh yuh.

[ebenetwo]

Seriously, Jacob Elordi wishes he can hate as good as her

[anterrabre]

He's a small time hater. Kristin is in the Big Leagues!

Mind you that getaway speed boat GIF happens after Drew Barrymore takes off an LL Cool J face mask and African-inspired outfit.

We were going through it in the early 2000s and sometimes didn't even realise it.
