  - Between organs? -- nm - Mop Aug 14, 20:43 2
    - anywhere in the body. arteries carry blood away from the heart, capillaries are between arteries and veins (and allow exchange of chemicals between - mafic Aug 14, 20:45 1

Deevs! (Gone Girl spoilers) - ralph wiggum Aug 14, 20:04
I don't think Kristen Stewart deserves more than about 20% of the crap she's getting now. - ralph wiggum Aug 14, 20:00 53
- I agree. I think they were a real couple, but even if they weren't, the public thought they were. That being said, she's 22 years old and if real, - jnine Aug 14, 20:51
- What matters here is that I'm enjoying it all for the entertainment value and the underlying reality of the thing is irrelevant to me. -- nm - Mop Aug 14, 20:39
- I thought most people were just using this as an excuse to pour some extra hatey at someone they already didn't like. -- nm - Qale Aug 14, 20:36
- she was (allegedly) in a committed relationship, that she wasn't actually married matters little to me. I blame the married dude maybe slightly more. - mafic Aug 14, 20:21 2

    - *good -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 20:27
- Disagree. She knowingly fucked with a marriage and is 100% as culpable as he is. - Max Aug 14, 20:09 28
  - People, please. Pippy is dating Robert Pattinson as much as Kristen Stewart is. - David Aug 14, 20:23 1

  - But she is getting 80% more crap than the mature older man that cheated on his wife. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 20:17 8
    - Then he should be getting 80% more crap for it. Highest common denominator, not lowest. -- nm - Max Aug 14, 20:29 3
      - She did something that happens every single day. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 20:34 2
        
        I've retyped a response to this a half dozen times. It's demoralizing to me to see a friend take this viewpoint. -- nm - Max Aug 14, 20:42 1
        
        "When you are young and you break up, it's powerful and it feels like the world is ending. This is the first time I have seen the world actually react - Spawn Aug 14, 20:47

        I saw The Break-Up. - Beryllium Aug 14, 20:41
      - I think it reflects on why she's a celebrity. if she had cheated on anyone else it would have been just another story. she's getting extra crap cause - dogbert Aug 14, 20:21 2
        
        This is true since January Jones got a baby out of Matthew Vaughn and that barely caused a ripple. -- nm - David Aug 14, 20:28 1
        
        Do we know if she's confirmed for the sequel? -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 20:40

        So you're saying her worst crime is poor musical taste? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 14, 20:28 3
        
        As Ruperts go, she landed somewhere between Rupert Grint and Rupert from Survivor. nm nm - ralph wiggum Aug 14, 20:35 2
        
        Rupert Everett at the high end, Rupert Murdoch at the low end? -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 20:45 1
        
        Rupert Everett in the 90s at the high end, Rupert Everett now is just barely above Rupert Murdoch. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 14, 20:49
      - Or it the age old double standard. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 20:18 1

  - sorry, you are wrong. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 20:08
- enh, she wrecked her own home. you don't have to be married to be a cheat. -- nm - Andie Aug 14, 20:05 4
  - She is definitely a cheat and her actions are indefensible. His are unconscionable. He took a vow. -- nm - David Aug 14, 20:12
  - Assuming they were real couple, then definitely. I just think the "trampire" thing is completely excessive. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 14, 20:10 2
    - i actually think they were real. blind items be damned. -- nm - Andie Aug 14, 20:12 1
      - I don't even think there is a 1% chance. Pattinson is on record that he didn't even get to choose his hair after Twilight's opening weekend. - David Aug 14, 20:15
- I guess I agree (mostly I don't care). this is why I asked if she still will have any earning power. her twilight fans will hate her not because she - dogbert Aug 14, 20:05 5
  - so ST can understand, this is like buttercup cheating on westley -- nm - dogbert Aug 14, 20:13 1
    - heh -- nm - Andie Aug 14, 20:14
  - I think her box office appeal is very limited. I think she could do Indie films successfully -- nm - Epiphany Aug 14, 20:11
  - The book becoming a real life love story also involves a fast growing child who is imprinted on by a werewolf. What's wrong with you Twihards? Srsly? -- nm - Qale Aug 14, 20:11 1
    - Why didn't they get Luc Besson to direct? -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 20:31

        We even had online games, but they were all text based. A real bitch if you didn't have a monitor. - GregW Aug 14, 20:50 1
