Just play it cool boy

I love the two contemporary names, and then Burt...
At this point, I basically accept that if I don’t know some famous white person has rich parents, it’s just because I haven’t found out yet. Even the ones who are undeniably talented certainly weren't held back by their mom being an executive for their label or whatever.
He’s boring looking. And he’s not really a believable actor.
Another band name: Jenneration B.
Attractiveness is entirely subjective, my guy. For example, plenty of people think Blake Lively (actress and wife of Ryan Reynolds) is a very beautiful woman. I personally don’t find her attractive in the slightest. I couldn’t specifically tell you why that is, but I feel it unequivocally.
The takeaway here is that…
I love West Side, but Ansel as Tony is not it. Isn’t he also fighting sexual assault allegations? https://variety.com/2020/film/news/ansel-elgort-denies-sexual-assault-teenage-girl-1234642752/
“There is no denying that Elgort is conventionally attractive”
Yeah, I mean... isn’t “Puerto Rican girl falls for basic white boy” the whole point of West Side Story?
No. No, it did not.
Ansel has a dance background (including ballet), but nobody dances like Russ Tamblyn!
Belated? Her EGOT, Kennedy Center Honor, and Presidential Medal of Freedom wins seem an awful lot like respect to me.
Tamblyn’s dancing was outstanding, and in seeing the ‘letterbox’ anniversary film a few years ago, I was really struck by his acting ability. I think many of his fantastic reaction shots (to Bernardo sassing Krupke, to Tony’s lovesickness, to the lesser Jets’ bloodthirst) were cut out of the frame on the edited-for-TV…
Depressing fact that never gets less depressing: Morena didn’t work for like seven years after her Academy Award win for her role in WSS. Kept getting “maid” and “exotic wench #2” roles offered to her (and turning them down) til she took a hiatus from film work.
Why would Maria even notice that little white boy?
He’s rewarded in Hollywood because his father has been a Vogue photographer for ages and his mother is an opera director. His siblings are also in entertainment. He is the very definition of nepotism.
Could not agree more with this miscasting, Ansel feels like our era’s Tobey Maguire - just as milktoast with perhaps even less depth (& let us not forget he is a NY artsy scion of the famed photographer Arthur Elgort). I’m not sure if he’s got the dramatic chops but Lucas Till would’ve definitely had more…
HARD PASS. Could they have at least done something different other than just carbon copying the original?
ansel is the warm mayo of mediocre white males getting rewarded with stuff in hollywood because of...reasons.
This only needed one slide and that was Murder, She Wrote.
