After The Hobbit films I'm okay with them being assholes, actually.

Thanks :). I really appreciated your comments throughout although I'm sorry for the reasons you could speak so well on it.

I went through that and it was pretty fucking awful. For a long time I thought there must have been some deficit I had that made me a target while previous partners were "stronger" or something…

It was my first anime. Saw it as a little girl on Sci fi, I think. I don't have any perspective on it. I own the two DVDs and love both. Maybe the first over the second, tbh…

*whimpers in joy*

Carrot stew, carrot stew, it's our favourite thing to do.

Not my first album but my first soundtrack was Malcolm X. Coltrane confused me then but I fell in love with Ella.

Nope. The Little Mermaid was one of my first VHS(es? Pluralisation: how does it work) and I have yet to besmirch its memory with any of the sequels, much less this.

I want to see this film. Why? *hangs head in shame*

I've buried myself in manga lately, so I am having entirely appropriate thoughts about that second image. Just a little closer you two…

My preteen heart had mini explosions every time I listened to "Kissing You"; and I could never get that Radiohead song out of my head. It's probably one of my favourite R+J adaptations because it recognises how ridiculous the story is. I approached the book with awe as my first Shakespeare (chosen for the tragic

Oh, but also, we know from lots of actresses interviews that those kind of roles are usually not dealt with professionally at all. Always getting stuck with surprised nude scenes and such. The point is that these roles reveal how women are viewed in reality—it's not that neatly separate.

I agree (as this thread you posted in proves). I didn't intend to make them equivalent — certainly not any one role in particular. This article looks at the summation of Robbie's roles so far, how they're filmed, and what this reveals about Hollywood. It's that trend I refer to. The writer implies that this is Robbie

It certainly invites that question. I'd hate to think so.

The point you were making is that poor Robbie couldn't help taking these roles and it's totally not her fault.

Ah, okay, understood. *dials back*

Honestly, I think what I find more startling is how you don't seem to be able to see Robbie beyond her sexuality. I saw her in that one flick and she transcended the role. She was a real presence and the film would have suffered without her in it. Based on the article and other commenters here she brings that quality

God bless Stewart but her reasoning was bullshit. She was fine with the role when Ben Affleck was the leading male, and he is only 3 years younger than Smith, 40 to his 43 at the time.

Yikes. Idk, I find this to be a pretty demeaning depiction of Robbie. I'm not making apologies for her, personally. I haven't seen her in anything since Wolf of Wall Street. But I know where the responsibility lies when power brokers choose someone like Robbie over Lupita, and it ain't because some women are traitors

Who stated she was a powerless victim? I never stated that. Acknowledging that there are other forces often more influential than our own agency in making decisions, and the results that stem from them, is not "playing the victim". It's reality. I can't recall a commenter here that stated Margot Robbie was duped into
