Why should she get scorn though? No one heaps scorn on Will Smith or Ryan Reynolds for starring in Michael Bay’s shitty movies. Plenty of male actors make their entire careers playing beefcake in dumb superhero/action movies and no one castigates their professional choices or claims they aren’t “real” actors. Her…

Hearing Tavi Gevinson plays a teacher also makes me feel old, but this made me feel even older:

I don’t know who the show is for, but most of the actor’s names (Jordan Alexander, Whitney Oak, Savannah Smith, Zion Moreno, Tavi Gevinson) sound more “Gossip Girl” than their character names.

Notice that your use of Robert Pattinson to compare their situations actually makes my point.

You need to read what I wrote more carefully. I wasn’t giving praise for phantom roles. I said she needs to do movies with unconventional directors as a way to push herself out of these overtly commercial and sexualized roles.

Unfortunately, this type of comment is a perfect example of the backhanded compliments she is regularly thrown. I’m sure you didn’t mean to be snarky, but it does minimize her talents as an actor.

This looks mortifying and I look forward to reading a review of the highlights. I love dramas about repressed Brits, and I cannot handle an American disrupting tea time with her unsightly emotions.

That Prince William pic is an actor? He really does look like Wills…

Portland has a pretty robust food scene, so I’m not at all surprised it was chosen. I think they’re more known for street food than high-end, but still. Def more of a foodie scene there than in nearby Seattle.

I worried about that as well. The Bessemer trust was assigned to the conservatorship after Britney raised concerns about her father. For them to back out and try to save their own asses just leaves her back where she started - under the sole control of her father. Sounds like there’s no one in her corner at all.

Matthew Lillard >>> skeet Ulrich anyway

So does this just make her even more isolated? I am so horrified reading all of this- like so many people I really thought she had a severe and persistent mental illness that impacted all aspects of her life. The more I read the less I believe that she has anything beyond trauma from her horribly abusive family and…

We have no way of knowing how long she had this Howard job in her back pocket, but to me it looks like some amount of the threats of legal action, the re-submission of the tenure application, etc., were for the purpose of ultimately being able to reject UNC, rather than the other way around. In most cases I’d say this…

My take on this remains: There’s a reason soap operas are some of the longest running television shows ever.

Quite sure Hulk time didn’t hurt Mark Ruffalo’s small movie/screen cred - Emmy win and all that. Sebastian Stan dissolves into roles, Gwenyth Paltrow forgets she’s in them, Anthony Mackie got Black Mirror, Altered Carbon, a few movies on top of Falcon/Captain America, Tessa Thompson keeps working it, Brie Lawson’s not…

Who?

The school? No. The administration? Maybe.

Two thoughts.

Why is everyone saying he “trusted” Logan? Logan never promised him a payout... there is nothing to trust.
