Felicity's accent in the trailer sounds really, REALLY bad

Aww bummer. Natalie could shred it hardcore. I’m excited for Vox Lux tho. Kind of wish she could have done both.

Armie looks cute with that hair. That voice always gets me anyway

your feels are my feels.

Am I being too picky by kinda wishing they'd hired an actual Jewish-American woman? I think I am.

Also I think biopics on people who are still alive are a little weird.

ALSO ALSO RBG MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.

Why is it too picky to want a member of an ethnic minority to play that minority in film?

[crimps4]

Sometimes I feel, as a Jewish-American woman myself, like I should let some stuff go. Like our skin is white so who cares, at least it's not a white woman playing Ella Fitzgerald or something? I dunno. I enjoy so much white privilege that complaining about stuff like this seems silly and an abuse of that.

Wasn't Natalie Portman originally tapped to play RBG

Did Felicity get a new stylist? For once she's not dressed like somebody's spinster aunt who hasn't left the attic since 1910.

she did, she finally left leith clark so she's allowed to look slightly less terrible but her new girl keeps putting her in ill fitting pantsuits so idk how much of an improvement it is

This is worse tbh, at least Leith was capable of sonetimes landing a look that actually suited Felicity's overall vibe.

This tho? It's like the worst cut and colour combination ever, girl is just not made for orangey-reds and the entire thing looks so badly done and sloppy.

[drblind]

leith always dressed her like a tablecloth - felicity isn’t what i’d call curvy but u could tell back then that her stylist was accustomed to dressing very very thin women like keira and didn’t know what to do with someone who wasn’t shaped that way.

idk what the problem is with her current stylist bc she does amazing work with haim and even makes charli xcx look pretty good with her given vibe. but ia sloppy is a really great word to describe everything she’s dressed her in so far. all the pantsuits have looked ill fitting and hit her in all the wrong places
