She is definitely following in her dad’s footsteps.

The reviews are terrible.

M Night’s movies are either really good (6th sense) or really bad (Old or that marky mark one).

I'll be on my deathbed outraged that I wasted an hour and forty five minutes of my life watching Old.

Is it just me or do all nepo babies always fail to address their nepo baby-ism.
Most like to say that they work hard, and they might, but ignore that their parents connections got them in the door. Or they lean into too hard and say “yeah I know how I got this job, but I’m not gonna worry about it”.

I think they simply cannot understand their privilege, they don't know how it works without all the privileges they have

Did she not explicitly say that with this? "“It’s really about meeting that privilege and honoring that with as hard a work ethic as we can..."

she literally admitted she had privilege, though?

I'm very jealous of people who can follow their artistic passions
I'm currently stuck in a dead-end job that I dislike

as close to a correct response as we've gotten.

i got my summer job as a teen because of my dad, as did my brother, and it was always very much 'i got you the job, you keep it on your own merit' so my brother and i just kept our heads down and worked.

Good for them! I just saw The Watchers last night and I liked it. Could it have been a little better, yes but overall I enjoyed.

I also didn't know that there were biblical "Watchers". While trying to find tiktoks to confirm a thought I had about the film I stumbled upon people claiming the Watchers are [Spoiler (click to open)]angels and arguing with people who had actually seen the movie.
