Atomic Blonde was good. It was way better than Lucy in every possible way. So if you liked Lucy, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with Atomic.

They bootlegged Black Widow for both plot and character, then ripped off Atomic Blonde’s fashion and hair aesthetics. Boooo!

Why would anyone want to watch this when Proud Mary comes out barely a few weeks before it anyway? If you must watch another sexy wig-wearing spy gal movie anyway.

And also, and I don’t mean it to sound catty, but she doesn’t come across that ‘smart’ either. In that I mean she often comes across as quite blasé and... surfacey, which makes it seem like she doesn’t really know about much stuff not immediate to her.

I lived and worked in Australia and yeah, they enjoy figure skating there. It’s not some obscure thing and the scandal was big enough and weird enough to make news and stay in pop culture. The rest of the world isn’t as ignorant to events outside its own country as the US is, especially in countries like Australian…

Based on my experience, both the UK, SA, and Australia know about Harding and are interested in figure-skating generally. Harding was more famous as an actual person behind the scandal, because it was such a bizarre thing to happen and she was such an odd character with a complex history besides.

God if there’s any more proof of this being a cynical grab for awards attention its the lead actress admitting she had no prior knowledge of, let alone emotional connection to, the person who’s sad and complex life she’s attempting to portray.

It’s been in pop culture references since the 90s. It was a really famous scandal. 

Hopefully she has. Or if this hasn’t, the polarizing reviews out of TIFF will. Critics from Variety absolutely HATED it. Said it was stupid and disrespectful.

And you, the one true intellectual, a rando on the internet, who saw the truth hundreds of industry professionals as well as the majority of general audiences could not. What a hero.

What can I say. I hate when people are wrong.

How about The Golden Globes then? Or The Screen Actors Guild, or The Berlin Film Festival, or The Independent Spirit Awards, or The Critic Choice Awards, or The National Society of Film Critics Awards. Because she won all those, among others.
And Roger Ebert was the one who said her role in Monster was one of the…

Fury Road was rightly nominated for Best Picture and won 6 Oscars after being nominated for 10. It scored 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. You are in the minority buddy.

Theron has two Oscar nominations and an Oscar win for what is considered one of the greatest acting performances in the history of cinema. Get out of here with “not the greatest actress”.

It’s not calculated. Most of it comes from Breitbart. But the media using the constantly moronic things Breitbart wieners say as clickbait fodder is.

It amazes me just how easily people conflate actors with the characters they play. No one gave a crap about Gal and defending her views before Wonder Woman came out. Now it’s like they think she is Wonder Woman, and not an actress everyone thought was pretty mediocre to poor, but kind of fun in Fast and Furious, with…

If an American actress posted a photo of her and her daughter on social media wishing American forces their blessings they set off to do some of the worst bombing for years in Iraq and Afganistan, bombings that resulted in the deaths of many innocent civilians including lots of children, I think people might have…

Or the time she sent her blessings with them with her daughter on social media.

Gadot is full of crap, she was never “considered” for the role, or even the runner up. George Miller has said several times that he went for dinner with Theron early in the pre-production process and never considered any other actress but her for the role.
Gadot making it sound like she narrowly missed out on the part…

The Orville - Will be giving it a shot and time to see if it settles. Mostly interested for the movie star guests and directors they’ve managed to wrangle, which should be interesting either way.

It says “racist against all organic life”. So I guess he’s like a robot supremacist. Which strikes me as potentially interesting, because why would they not be?
