I’m ignoring the unnecessary curse at me to admit that’s actually a brilliant idea.

If Princess Irulan is in the sequel, I hope they cast Anya Taylor-Joy.

I’ve always been a fan of Winger, but she ALWAYS comes across as needlessly rude in interviews. She did a WWHL and, while Andy Cohen is the definition of a Messy Queen, she was needlessly dour with him throughout.

Victim blaming is the not-feminist term you're probably thinking of.

I'm not the person you've responded to, but you're response seems needlessly combative.

I absolutely agree with everything you said - especially with regards to Daniela Melchior’s performance. I was expecting Ratcatcher 2 to be a very snarky, hard-bitten character and was happily surprised by how non-douchey she was. Which easily could’ve fallen into cliche if played as a naif - which Melchior did *not*…

I remember the first time I saw your byline, as your name immediately reminded me of a ‘Buffy’ reference. I also appreciated the fact that you were open about being the ‘neighborhood gossip’. I know there was some pushback against your snark, but I always enjoyed it. I will always read your articles.  Good luck on your…

Dastmalchian really walked away with that scene (in TDKR). When I first saw him in it, I remember thinking he really made you take notice him (especially considering he was playing a non-lead role).

I’m not sure if y’all saw the Laura Dern HBO movie “The Tale”, but there’s a brilliant scene that addresses how young a teenager really looks (whose in a relationship with someone whose much older).

“Even if she wins its not going to help small content creators afford to sue DISNEY.”

Agreed. I love that - now that her metaphorical shackles are gone - she’s letting people haaaaave it. She’s ununderstandably brimming with pent-up resentment.

It’s too bad this sequel isn’t able to elevate the premise. I really enjoyed the first movie because (as you mentioned) it was smarter than expected.

Even though Moore’s role in “Queen & Slim” was relatively small, she was quite memorable in it.

Not to jump into this tête-à-tête, but I have to agree that the other commenter wasn’t talking about the sex tape.

The company Hilton keeps doesn’t surprise me. Grifters gotta stick together, of course.

While I’m sure Hilton went through a harrowing ordeal with that Utah(?) based bootcamp and having that sex tape released - I cannot abide her obvious attempt at rehabilitating her public image.

Counterpoint: Miranda was an AMAZING redhead. And her haircut & color was the only good thing about “SatC 2".

Notice that your use of Robert Pattinson to compare their situations actually makes my point.

You need to read what I wrote more carefully. I wasn’t giving praise for phantom roles. I said she needs to do movies with unconventional directors as a way to push herself out of these overtly commercial and sexualized roles.

I definitely think she hasn’t been challenged acting wise. Because as you said, she’s being cast as a commodity (ie, to bring in males to ogle her) rather than to see what she could bring to the table acting wise.
