She's been in a lot, although I'm guessing her most famous role is Velma in those live-action Scooby-Doo movies from the early 2000s. Her most memorable performance might have been in Legally Blonde tbh. "I didn't mean to shoot him! I thought it was YOU who walked in through the door!" 

She's obviously most famous for playing the wife of a certain individual in a certain series of popular films.

To be fair, it's easy to forget she was in Age of Ultron.

James Gunn's masterpieces.

velvet buzzsaw is pretty flat visually. maybe it's a netflix issue because Gilroy/Elswitt have done so well together before and you'd think it'd be a visually stimulating premise but meh. anyway it's not a masterpiece like Nightcrawler or Roman J. but it's fun.

Good news: all four of last year's acting winners will be back to present at the Oscars.

Bad news: apparently they'll be presenting other categories and not the acting ones (because they're "not famous enough"). Lame shit.

BTW with this you know the acting presenters will all be from people who have Disney films out this year. Like they're gonna get Brie Larson to present Best Actor just because Captain Marvel is around the corner. Gotta wonder if she'll refrain from clapping for Rami Malek winning the award for a Bryan Singer movie like she famously did when she had to give Casey Affleck his two years ago.

Casey Affleck, now there's a actor we need more of. I watched gone baby gone the other day, that was great.

He has a new film that he directed showing at Berlin this week.

The lesson here:  Linda Cardellini is great.(She is)

Looks like Terry Crews and Whoopi Goldberg has defended Liam Neeson.  

 

Let me check social media to see the reaction.   I'm sure there's  nuanced take to what they say................

 

Nope

I didn't want to go into details for Mad Men virgins who are closing in on S6 🤔

[CoolioD1]

i couldn't remember what season she was in. is it blasphemous to say all of Don's mistresses just sort of blend together?

Can You Ever Forgive Me is pretty good. Would be an all-timer if it were just a misanthropic middle-aged Withnail & I with 100 minutes of McCarthy and Grant drinking and sniping at people though. The true crime stuff works on a character level but still feels like basically an obligation. It's too bad Ali has stolen Grant's seeming initial momentum in the supporting actor race, a delightful performance and it would've been very nice to see him win. Thinking about it McCarthy is my favorite in her category too.

Preach it

But did Malek really do anything wrong?

Faye and Rachel were the good mistresses.

 

Ms. Jim Gordon and Rectify girl were the not as good ones.

No. Don’t be silly. It’s sexist.
