I saw this movie and I don’t think she was meant to be poor, she was supposed to be a member of the working class compared to everyone else wasn’t working class. She’s a high end escort on an island retreat with the most famous chef in the world, I somehow don’t think she charges $40 for some dome. The head chef is also clearly not a poor person, but is still working class. That distinction was kind of the entire point of the movie

Well… Spez is coming into the Reddit office and probably does some fucked up shit there he might call work and gets paid 200M a year. That’s not poor. If you have to work not lose your quality of life, then it makes more sense.

The downvotes… Listen, if you have to work, you’re a wage slave. Doctors are wage slaves. Lawyers are wage slaves. It’s not until they pay off their massive student loans, complete their residency programs and make smart investments that they can stop working. This problem is made worse by a lot of them by trying to live outside their means (possible at any income level).

If you don’t have to work, even for health care, then you are rich.

Anna Taylor-Joy is weird.

She’s absolutely magnetic on camera, but I don’t know if she’s actually that attractive in the real world, or if it’s just that she looks great on camera.

Reminds me of how (IRC) some Hollywood insiders call actors Lollipop people. Huge head, big eyes, tiny body. Looks great on film, face really fills up the frame, you can see their expressions better, relatively small body looks normal sized.

It’s like the Simpsons joke where they go to a film set, and someone explains that cows don’t look like cows on film, so they use horses.

Steven Colbert said in a recent interview with Taylor Tomlinson that she should be prepared that some of the most beautiful people on Earth look like lizards in real life because that’s just how filming works. So you might be on to something

Taylor Tomlinson is pretty damn funny. Saw her live a couple years ago and had a good time. Her opener also killed it, I just wish I could remember his name.

Having a unique face (as long as it’s not repulsive) is more important than having a pretty but forgettable face in movies.

Coming up with titles is difficult. I post a lot in me_irl because I can’t come up with a creative title.

Sure, but virtually anything else is better than spoiling the joke.

Title: “To get to the other side!”

Body: “Why did the chicken cross the road?* To get to the other side!”

*At this point, the reader know what’s coming, and the element of surprise, which is most of the time important for a joke to work, is lost.

These are all better titles for almost any occasion. Do they suck? Sure. But better than the punchline in the title:

“Well, when you put it like that” “This is a title” “Something to think about” “LOL!” “This is gold!” “I can’t think of a good title” “Haha unexpected!” “💩”

She’s one of a few people in Hollywood that, come one, we all look at them and know that’s not a human. That’s an alien. But its an attractive alien who also is talented so we all just kind of look the other way.

When Benedryl Cabbagepatch is trying to sound American he ends up sounding like a German person playing a British actor doing an American accent. I like him as an actor but his accent in Dr Strange is just…off somehow.

Compared to Hugh Laurie or Idris Elba who both do it flawlessly.

I think the problem is his American accent has no definitive region. He hits his A sounds like he’s from California and his O sounds like he’s from Minnesota, and he’s playing a New Yorker. It’s very jarring.

We had a batch of Long Island Iced Tea in the fridge and we had the bright idea of mixing it with lemonade and calling it a Long Island Arnold Palmer, and trying to say that phrase is a good way of approximating Crumbleslap’s American accent.

She’s kinda like the female Timothee Chalmette, who despite having talent, is like a soulless, nepo baby, engineered in a lab to be a famous actor. He’s so unrelatable and was clearly trained to be an actor from birth.

Spanish comedian Ignatius Farray. Dude was born into a poor family and was a loser with plenty of mental health issues, didn’t gain notoriety until traditional entertainment industries in Spain lost ground to new online spaces, after a decade and a half of mediocre results.

You still have a point: it’s far easier to become famous and successful when the cards are stacked in your favor, but that argument sucks because you only need one counter-example, which you definitely are going to find in a world with billions of people.
