"Passengers," quite frankly, was not that good of a movie. It was OK, but not great. And "Mother" may have been the worst movie I've ever seen. I turned it off about 2/3rds of the way through.
The bottom line is that Jennifer Lawrence is a good looking young woman who is an average actress who picks bad scripts.
Spoken like anyonecares about the Hollywoodites.
For ten year, probably longer, our household’s interest in anything Hollywood produces has been next to zero. Star Wars and a few animated kids movies are all we pay to see. I’ve even tried to watch network TV programming so I’d have something to discuss with the non-readers in the family. But it always has an unrealistic leftist slant to it - like stoic women saving the day when a weak man couldn’t.
I agree. “Passengers” was a good flick. Most of the crap coming out of Hollyweird these days is just that. And, there is a real lack of imagination and creativity. How they are remaking hits in attempt to generate enthusiasm shows how ignorant and devoid of creativity they have become.
>>Hollywood had effectively written him off, perhaps unconvinced he was all that big a star to begin with. But one director, who was just beginning to make his name, had faith, and when he came to make his second feature, he chose Travolta for the most important role. That director, of course, was Quentin Tarantino; the feature was 1994’s Pulp Fiction; and with it, Travolta was back on top, raking in $20 million per movie and sealing his place in the pantheon.
His connections to Scientologists has probably helped. Also rumors of a gay sexual underground.
What is the plot of Red Sparrow?
What’s the career window for a run of the mill “movie star”? Ten years maybe? She’s on the back nine.
Read the comments on THR to this article.
They are scathing—and much better than the article itself.
Jennifer Lawrence has a great rack.
That’s it.
She’s just not that good at playing pretend.
Could it be, she’s gotten her position by lying on her back for old powerful men, not by acting talent? Perhaps?
I really have never understood how she is top talent, everything I have ever seen her in, she has to me, basically 3 facial expressions as far as I can tell, and that’s it.
Didn't it do pretty good?
Filling movies with sex scenes, filthy language, using actors who preach leftist politics to us, climate change-the sky is falling messages keep us at home and away from theaters. The list of actors/actresses boycotted should make them unemployable, but Hollywood persists in hiring them and losing money every time. Investors should be very angry, but they appear to be hellbent on losing money and putting out crap no one will pay to see. Even streaming, the delete key is our friend.
I completely disagree and deny that is happening. And besides, it's better than giving a know-nothing pretty face that dropped out of middle school waaaaay more influence over the public mind than it deserves, spouting its liberal crapaganda 24/7. I'm actually looking forward to the day CGI and AI virtual characters put them all out of business. Let them go back to waiting tables.
I don’t think I’ve seen any of her movies.
Something about how being a victim of Russian state means you have to become a prostitute/assassin working for the GRU something something something
Agreed, Lawrence is no Travolta.
Passengers was enjoyable to me, but more so because of the male lead. I heard he’s a Christian Conservative and as such, probably does not get many job offers.
Big star compared to small star.
