I can see Mulligan as Zelda.

I understand that this isn’t what we’d expect of modern characters but wouldn’t it be anachronistic for a woman back then to be straightforward about her desire to sleep with a man she wasn’t married to?

It’s pretty likely he was married. I don’t think he was single for very long after each of his divorces. It seems like he always had a back up wife waiting.

Both Hidden Figures and Deadpool feature characters that aren’t normally featured in films. Superhero movies and dramatized biopics are film genres in which many stories exist.

She’s sort of a mediocre actor, and over exposed. It’s like she’s in fucking every other movie that comes out.

Yeah, my first thought was “God no, JLaw is not my beloved Zelda”

We’re not allowed to dislike a person now, or think they’re wrong for a part? What if my dislike isn’t irrational, overwrought or arbitrary? I think Jennifer Lawrence is over-exposed, often miscast and I don’t find her “I’m just a regular gal, lol”-schtick appealing. I don’t want to be her BFF and I’m tired of being…

Uh no, not every type of movie has been done a million times over. How many times over have you seen Deadpool? How many times over have you seen Hidden Figures?

“Let me guess, for no reason aside from your irrational, overwrought, arbitrary dislike of Jennifer Lawrence.” Even if it is, they’re entitled to feel that way. I dislike her, but it isn’t irrational or arbitrary.

So six of one and half a dozen of the other. Glad that’s sorted.

Yes? How is it not reasonable to want movies with new and interesting storylines rather than the same ol’ tragic white woman story? It’s been done a million times over.

Actually, I don’t mind her at all. I just have a soft spot for the Fitzgeralds and hate the recent hyper-commercialization of their stories.

Or they dont see her pulling off the character. Saying no to this doesnt mean they hate jlaw.

Good enuff for me. I second GStomer.

“The key is that I’m the king and every queen should support the king.”= Automatic grounds for divorce.

Phew. Thank you, SNS folks, for helping get our Boob-Punch back! The comments are so much scarier a place without you, y’know?

Cheers! So many people were so kind last night, and related so strongly, it made a big difference in how I feel about posting here right now. We’re all experiencing the same kinds of things, hey, we’re in it together!

He was married for this one, not sure about Hayek.

Agree. But hey, they put Muhammad Ali’s death in a Dirt Bag, too, so... I don’t understand how those things are decided.

This isn’t too much of a difference between this and Selma Hayek’s story. Minus the offering of money. But it’s apparent he definitely has a pattern. Ask a girl out and if she say’s no, add incentive, money, plane ride, a chance to prove, you don’t care about being short, dinner, job, sandwiches, the usual stuff that…
