The T****graph Hates Happiness and ONTD

[t_snake]

DarlingssS, some newspapers just don't care about the happiness of the average Snake and post horrible articles like this:

I like to do a really quick select all and copy, lol.

Ohhh boy the writer hates LJ

I read it. Highlights:

-on the Pursuit of Love character:

"While Linda sometimes poses as a damsel in distress for effect, James is actually stuck in that archetype. There are definite shades of her fluffy, big-screen Disney Cinderella."

"Might this have been easier to navigate with an actress better suited to playing Linda - or one who hasn’t been so relentlessly overexposed? I’ve been suffering from Lily James fatigue for some time, and, particularly as we emerge from the pandemic, with many actors crying out for work, it does seem unfair that one person is hoovering up all the roles."

Also goes in pretty hard to say it's insulting LJ is cast as "plain" characters (Yesterday, and an archaeologist inThe Dig): "(arguably the biggest stretch since Denise Richards’ “nuclear physicist” in Bond film The World is Not Enough)."

That part made me lol. And it just goes on and on about how Lily doesnt have the range for the roles she's getting.

"That’s not to say James doesn’t deserve professional success, though some might say it has more to do with her classic Hollywood starlet looks and pleasant speaking voice than earth-shattering talent. Nor is she a Meryl Streep-esque chameleon; in every role, she supplies the same sort of nice girl earnestness, along with a bottom lip ready to wobble at a moment’s notice."

-Calls her a bland actress best suited for ingenue roles:

"She’s also snaffling up the rich dramatic and comic roles that go beyond her scope, to the detriment of those films and TV shows, and to the performers who are missing out."
