Ben still gushing about Twilight



Above is a brief interview that Ben Lyons did on E! with a visibly annoyed Kristen Stewart, the star of Twilight. He starts by saying she must be sick of talking about Twilight and then spends the rest of the interview talking about it. She is there to push her new film Adventureland at Sundance and is clearly annoyed and confused by his idiotic line of questioning.

Perhaps she knew that he put the movie on his list of the ten worst films of 2008, although there is no sign of that here. In fact, he talks about how cool the movie is and how much he is looking forward to the next installment in the series. She was probably just thrown by his stupid questions and perhaps worried that she would be asked to have her picture taken for his poser page. Either way, this is a very awkward interview for everybody except Ben Lyons, who seems to be enjoying himself.

Sorry, Ben, you can't play serious film critic on At the Movies and continue to play starstalker on E! You will only make a fool out of yourself.

Outrageous. Giving a terrible review to a film on a review show and then telling the star how great it was.

Unbelievable.

I love it how he has the gall to close off with a mention of Adventureland after babbling about Twilight for the segment.

Only Ben Lyons. Only him.

The Twilight hype was probably the most overrated part of the whole series. WB is probably shaking its head for not putting Potter on that date and not get the tweens to see Twilight in the summer.

I honestly had little idea what Adventureland is about and I do not blame Stewart or the other actor for looking annoyed. Having a blockbuster movie babble-on while they are trying to promote an independent film to get a major studio backing must have ticked them off.

A little off topic but on E! yesterday at the Oscar Nominations Ceremony, this moron Ben Lyons actually told Guiliana that Frost/Nixon is a movie that she can probably relate to, especially when she's getting ready to interview a big star.

Yeah, Guiliana = David Frost.

If anybody has video of the nomination ceremony with Ben, I'd love to post it. I was hoping to have something like that up today, but I could not find anything.

I have heard all sorts of comments about Ben's performance at the nomination ceremony, but I have not been able to find a video or even something close to a transcript. Just a blog here and a blog there saying "can you believe he just said that?"

You know what I'd love? If Miss Stewart had told him "What in the world are you talking about? You hated Twilight!"

If like Adventureland is totally definitely like THE most talked about movie in like the WHOLE of Sundance and stuff then like TALK ABOUT IT BEN.

I'm guessing that Ben has no idea what Adventureland is about. He was faking his way through this segment. That's how much integrity he has.
