I don't think there's any doubt that this will hurt BD Pt2 at the box office, unless, by some miracle, Rob and Kris are back together by then and all is forgiven. The genuine fans will still go, but I think most will see it less times, because they will look at Edward and Bella onscreen and see two people who are no longer what they were then, at least, in our eyes. The honest truth is they are the same people they were then.
I just wanted to get something off my chest. Yes, I know Kristen did something really wrong, and that's hard on Rob. But come on, guys, she didn't do it to us. Not really. We just became invested in something that we should have known better than to become invested in. Odds were never in their favour that this would last long, not in Hollywood. Now we're all disappointed because our worst fears have been realised and Kristen, at least, has turned out to be all too human. I'm sure Rob is too, and as Sean pointed out yesterday, just because he hasn't been caught doesn't mean he hasn't done it too. I certainly hope he hasn't, but honestly, I don't know the guy, and he is working in an industry where promiscuity is a way of life. So I think we need to gain some perspective here. We can feel bad for people in a horrible situation, but really, they're not friends of ours, in fact, we've never even met them, and I think we need to remember that.
