It is unearned. She hasn't done anything of note differently than other actresses in her class, like Amber Heard for example. The only difference is the kind of roles she's taken and the kind of persona she's made from them. Surprise surprise, where did that fame come from? Could it be the underwear and the naked…

Not arguing that particular point, friend.

Nope. Ayer wrote the script in 6 weeks and it was sent to the presses and ran with. It also might surprise you to know that actors often have a say in the design of their own wardrobe.
And that role in The Big Short was definitely not a rewrite, it was the entirety of her role. She would have been asked "Margot, we'd…

You seem to be under the impression that I'm decrying all girlfriend roles or actresses who make money from their beauty as supplements to their career, or even roles that are sexual or sexy or involve nudity in general. Why would you think that? I'm definitely not, that would be extreme and limiting for actresses and…

I don't think it's demeaning, no more than her being completely fine with appearing as herself in a role that casts her as a very obvious naked sexual distraction for the audience (The Big Short), and off the back of another entirely sexualized role (Wolf of Wall Street) before taking yet another extremely sexualized…

She can choose to take roles that ask her to show up in movies naked in a bath playing herself. And what do you mean 'roles that don't exist'? Meaty roles for women are thin on the ground, but taking roles that are predominantly about being objectified is pretty much the opposite of looking for anything of substance.

See, this here is the problem. We complain these roles for women are horrible, we complain that talented, gorgeous actors of color get no traction on their careers, we wonder why oh why does this happen. Then a pretty blonde 25 year old who's willing to take off her clothes and gets a substantial amount of money…

Either her agent has her family tied up in a basement or she's more than happy to take those roles. She's been bought over night fame and instant shots at meaty projects over her Oscar winning contempories because of it.

Many, many gorgeous actresses working during times harder for women than these have chosen to forgo objectifying roles in order to carve out the careers the want. And many times it's meant they haven't become overnight famous because of it, but they've worked hard and proven their chops instead and it has come to them…

I'm a feminist and I agree. Robbie has actively chosen to court that brand and her crafting that persona for herself is exactly what has rocketed her from 'actress that turned up in those slated terrible blockbusters and a few good dramas/thrillers very few people turned up for' to overnight movie star. She owes her…

ALL women actors deserve better than the treatment afforded to the women in Suicide Squad, but at the same time I'm very aware that this is exactly the brand that Robbie has chosen to court in her short career. She chose to appear naked in a bubble bath as herself as a sexy distraction to help make learning about the…

He does do method, but it's never been in an unusual way. If you watch any interviews with him he just seems like a really normal guy when he talks about the process. Like someone asked him if he ever went out in character as Ruby for Dallas Buyers Club, as he'd worked with method for that role, and he just replied…

That's good to know. I'll keep my fingers crossed for it then!

Yes, but he's played a lot of very intense characters before and I've never heard of him going to such ridiculously extreme lengths for a role, let alone dragging all his cast mates into it. I've had a look, but there's nothing I can find to suggest he's done anything like what he's meant to have done on the SS set…

The whole thing has made sure a whole new generation knows who Leto is and thinks of him as a big movie star now. If you'd asked any 16 year old if they knew who Jared Leto was before this year, they probably would have said no. And now this introverted 45 year old guy who is in the movie for no more than 10 minutes…

Leto's always seemed a touch pretentious in a kind of freshman art student kind of way, but he's definitely not totally crazy.

I don't remember reading any similar stories about him on any other sets and he's always come across pretty reasonableish, as far as Hollywood actors go. I remember when a real trans woman shouted her objections to him being a cis man playing a trans woman on film during a press conference he had a pretty civil…

I hear the books are good and Daisy is a delightful lil cherub, but I wonder if YA movies won't have well and truly overstayed their welcome by then. I thought the smartest thing for her to do would be to get herself in some solid dramas while she's still on board Star Wars.

Ok I have a theory: None of those stories about Jared Leto's onset behavior or any of the stories about what the cast were made to do actually happened. All of it has been a carefully planned and constructed part of their marketing strategy to keep Suicide Squad constantly in the press all through production and…

In a more beautiful world where Suicide Squad is not a dumpster fire, Gillian Jacobs would have been the most perfect Harley Quinn imaginable.
Ditto for my saying Eva Green would have made an amazing Enchantress. I mean she would, but this is not a thing I wish for her now….
