Character behavior is part of a film.

Yeah probably. But Chris Pratt's real life wife and mother of his kid is actually 40 years old, so.

Me too. Whenever I see her miscast yet again or getting nominated for a less than steller performance I just try and remind myself of how good she was in that.

I've not been impressed by much of her recent work, especially with Russell O' Dickhead, but man she was so great in Winters Bone and, for the first couple of Hunger Games movies at least, she was a great Katniss.
Problem is mostly that she is constantly being cast really badly and picking up award nominations/wins

Cry harder, my god.

You know, I am so often amazed by the waver-thin sensitivity of commenters like this and I have to wonder how long you would be able to function in a world where actual discrimination against the race you are wasn't just a gentle very-obviously-tongue-in-cheek joke about how Hollywood catalog model these two look in

Then why the fuck isn't Lupita NyongO getting roles thrown at her? Being both ridiculously charming, funny, attractive, and Oscar winning talented?

Yes, those poor discriminated against babies. However will they find work in Hollywood again now we've noticed and commented on the fact they are generic white?

It'd be nice to get to a point in Hollywood history where black people are so overwhelmingly dominating all the leading roles that that sentence would in any way make sense.

I'm pretty sure it just means that they're vanilla. Like, being so generically white and pretty by Hollywood standard model means the movie has no real edge or visual interest beyond "they hot in a super conventional way". Thus "wonderbread", because it's just plain white bread.

Suck it up, baby. You're so sensitive. This may not be the safe space you're looking for.

But Jurassic World…

Jennifer Lawrence is not a bad actress by any stretch of the imagination. She is talented, but she just isn't as versatile (especially in character roles) as I think some have talked her up to be.
Add to that her habit of sleepwalking through parts she feels are beneath her, or not worth her time, which can grate when

Seems like this threshold is increasingly around 33 nowadays…

This is it exactly. It's a male industry dominated fantasy that isn't reflective of the real world at all. Age gap relationships as big as Hollywood frequently employs are pretty damn uncommon in real life.

I can't believe you're serious. You'd feel the same if a headteacher banged your hypothetical daughter would you? "Two to tango"?

What part of married middle-aged man with professional duty of care sleeping with a woman barely out of her teens makes you think the responsibility lies predominately with her? She was wrong to cheat while she was in a relationship, but this man had both power over her and more than double her life span. Who the hell

That happened when she was barely out of her teens and it was a 40-year-old married man with a professional duty of care over her, who chose instead to enter into a sexual relationship with her. It's like a teacher sleeping with a student. That's disgusting on his part and probably part of the reason Stewart, now in

My mistake. I'd been writing about Fast and Furious before and Universal was on my brain.

Smith's goal with that movie was so obviously to make his kid a leading man, so blinded by father's pride inability to see how totally charismaless his spawn is, it probably did.
