making this series was truly a highlight lmao

And yet when men are like this, studios remain silent.

Or they get praised for their ~honesty~

Someone is saying "we cannot cast Dakota Johnson , RPattz, and Adam Driver in a movie together. We just CAN'T. NONE OF THEM WOULD GIVE A FUCK."

She won't get backlash for this and I only hope more actresses can speak up ("speak up" like she said something groundbreaking, she's no Melissa) without repercussions.

She's a nepo baby, she'll be fine. On one hand I don't agree that she should catch more shit than dudes like R. Pattz or that one guy from that Netflix show. On the other hand she's a horrible actress with the personality of a used napkin who's been riding the media goodwill of her Ellen takedown for too long

[donaestrangera]

Exactly… the other three Spider-Women in the movie are all non-nepo babies who got into the industry without the connections she has and who faked enthusiasm for the movie nonetheless, if they can fake enthusiasm for the movie Dakota can too.

Wasn't he trashing Stephanie Meyer and not the movies themselves? Though I could be wrong.

[jamesdean]

i think he just hated the entire twilight franchise experience as a whole and all the media attention around it. but i was reading a compilation of his comments and it does seem like he hated the writing/plot more than the way it was filmed/directed.

I feel like since she got famous playing a thinly veiled Bella Swan it's only fitting she goes full KStew and drags the hell out of a terrible movie she's in.

Normally I'm not a huge fan of stars making fun of movies they're in because it's super unprofessional, but didn't they originally give her a very different script and then make a lot of terrible changes once she was already under contract? I'd be willing to burn bridges if a job pulled that on me.

[jojito]

She's still got paid millions though. And people behind the scenes can't say the same.
She'll be fine, while this movie might hurt other's career opportunities.
It is unprofessional.

[alwayspolaris]

I agree it's still unprofessional for sure, and the people who worked on the film have every right to complain - but not Sony and the producers who are the ones getting upset here. It was also unprofessional of them to "drastically" change the movie once they already had her signed on.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yep Sydney and the other girls would face harsher repercussions if they said half the things she said.

these people need to get real problems
