Brian Robbins was a cast member of Head of The Class, not a writer (except for one episode). Weird thing to mess up.

This is a very weird and bad take on this situation

Yes, she was shown as cute and fun, with the only “insufferable” part from the male perspective that she was obsessed with fashion. Which to be fair is no worse than males being obsessed with sports, or Marvel movies, or whatever — it’s just that as it is “feminine” it is seen as lesser than male-associated obsessions.…

First thing I thought too.  All her growth happened in the movie.  What development is there to show in high school when we already know her future?

I didn’t see her so much as insufferable, but as someone who has the luxury of being sunny and positive towards others because she never had anything about her life challenged, from her home life through college.  

As one of our colleagues rightfully pointed out, the whole point of the original Legally Blonde film was that Elle was kind of insufferable before she gained confidence and direction in her life at Harvard.

So...Clueless?

haha yeah the quote is essentially ‘i had a moment of clarity after working very hard on this project for a few months’

Cherry-picking the language of trauma out of interviews and presenting it out of context for clicks and knee-jerk reactions is not the win one should hail it as.

The entire body of the article is “mild quote followed by the most ungenerous interpretation possible.” So: boilerplate AVClub. 

Seems like an intense actor-y thing where the experience of pretending to be in a post-apocalyptic wasteland fighting for survival was immersive enough that it was messing with her head and mood.

The amount the zombified corpse of The AV Club speculates and tries to make connections to things to make everything sound more sinister is getting fucking terrible. The author seems to want so, so bad to reveal that George Miller is a creep despite there being no evidence for it.

i think she just means she was so locked in it took her two months to realize how locked in she had been.

While some on Twitter/X speculated that Taylor-Joy could be hinting that director George Miller was creepy or inappropriate in some way, she was very effusive toward him in the interview.

prove it

That headline is an abomination.

Ah yes, those damn Millennial assholes, like Jane Austen, F Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Dickens.

I liked it a lot, but it 100% did not need a second season unless they were making an anthology with a thematically related but not book sourced season.

It was great, but it pretty much covered the entire book eexcept  the ending

I finally viewed Unfrosted. I couldn’t stand it!
