Flash in the Pan

Either I am pushing the unintentional innuendo of my blog title, there's a trend happening, or both.  How do we title this post, let me count the unmodified Twilight title ways: New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part 1 ...  So, you have a nominal role in one of the most successful and crappy franchises of all time (I shouldn't judge, because I never saw the last four installments and I'm sure they were all just fantastic), the final chapter has just closed, and will soon fade from the box-office and memory (hopefully permanently).  And, one of the most poised and proper actresses of her generation just got caught with her dress up earlier in the week.  What do you do while pimping your movie in Hong Kong?  Why, you flash your pussy!  Oh, wait, maybe Elizabeth Reaser forgot to put on underwear and the paparazzi, hungry from the recent release of Anne's Hathaway, sniffed her out and ambushed her!  I'm sure it was unintentional on her part.  I'm sure she was tired and she just had to wear that short of a skirt.  I mean her knees are (sort of) together, right?  There's no planning for these things.  I imagine she expected there to be a table to sit in front of.  Should we just chalk this up to "it happens"?  Well, when "it happens" to Meryl Streep or Cate Blanchett, then I'll consider the possibility that, yeah, beavers just fall out in front of the world.  There isn't actually a non-pixilated version of the Reaser photo that I can locate and even those have begun disappearing, so maybe it never happened.  Well, at least, in this version, Edward Cullen has swooped in to protect the Julliard graduate.
