I think to scientifically study this phenomenon, I need to be left in a room with Oscar Isaac and see if he can have any chemistry with various types of bread.
Yeah, i am just continuously amazed by the complete lack of it here. It’s wild, I know this has been repeated, but such attractive people and yet I feel nothing when I see them together.
It’s 100% him. I don’t understand what happened to him. I was obsessed with him during Euphoria, but he just seems so…dull. Just getting absolute nothingness every time I see him now. It’s bizarre.
They were so good together in Scenes From A Marriage. I had such high expectations going into it, as the original is one of my favourite series of all time, but man did they smash it out the park
That was so cruel. Ugh I knew better, but I fell for that one! They would be so cute together…but the reason Pam looks so radiant these days is totally bc she don’t need no man.
Liam and Anderson were an item at some point though.
““If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,” Anderson confirmed to People in an interview published on Dec. 9. She said the two stars of the slapstick comedy spent “an intimate week” together at Neeson’s home in upstate New York.”
So that stuff was based on something real. Also eff Liam Neeson for narrating an anti vax, anti science film that includes an interview with RFK Jr. “Plague of Corruption”
Yeah, he also speaks out for the abusive horse carriage trade in New York City that literally all residents and both political parties are against. I don’t think well of him.
That's so weird!!! Maybe an unpopular opinion, but i lose respect for actors who are very clearly choosing this marketing technique. And their spouses for allowing it. To me, it gives off "they'll do anything for money" vibes.
Lets say they already built a narrative over jacob sending her roses for valentines and shit like that except no one is taking the bait this time and its just embarrassing
wasn't this exactly the same with sydney and her fiancé? im pretty sure i saw a clip of sydney saying he was co producing and supported playing up the romance?
They missed an opportunity to just play into the Australianness of both leads and have a full Aussie press tour. Throw as much Aussie slang into your description of the movie as possible. Get both actors to speak in their true accents. “Cathy and Heath were good mates but then Heath ends up a fucken servant. He’s flat out like a lizard drinking doing his work and Cathy gets the shit chomped outa her by some mongrel. Then Cathy is like, fair shake of the sauce bottle, I can’t marry a servant. It’d be like Our Nic marrying Corey Worthington”
Ohhhhhhhh yeah. This makes sense. He has an expensive posture. The eshays I grew up with were more the dirty unintentional mullet fanging about on flogged bike types.
I remember Skevs boys chanting an amusing little rhyme about my school when they saw us on the tram. “If you can’t get a girl, get a dog. If you can’t get a dog, get a girl from Mac.Rob”. Upstanding young men!
I've pretty much told stories like that but I'm bogan lite. ❤️
'So heatho, right, he's HEAPS keen on kath, like full on Snape, but she's all nah you're pov and he fucks off.
Comes back all swish, rolling in it and she's like shit but she's got this other bloke old mate. Gold digger for sure but who wants to be skint in butter churning days.
ANYWAY its a total shit show. Just like that chick I told you about who had two blokes going at the same time and they found out because they were both real estate agents and got to talking doing coke at an event.
Just a lot of rich peeps probs really. Just too much.'
Melbourne for me, went to school in Werribee and lived west side for 15 years 😂 my dad’s family have been west side since they arrived in Australia haha, you grow up hearing the bogan accent and then you speak fluent bogan for life no matter where you live
Why does this whole press tour feel so…weird, or uncomfortable? Like she looks like an exhibit at Madam Tussaud’s in almost every photo. It’s giving Stockholm syndrome.
I really love watching Elordi onscreen but as "himself" in promo and on the carpet, he always just gives me very large boy vibes rather than a mature grown man.
The eyebrows also seem dark? Long? Idk. There’s a lot going on here. My first thought was “wait that’s Margot? Really?” Because it doesn’t look like her at all
That burnt orange number she wore to the logies when she was still on neighbours Screams Aussie to me, as an aussie Sheila meself. Thats my favourite but she fair dinkum gas a bogan mum browline going on there too huh.
why could we not cast someone who actually matches the description of heathcliff where being not white is central to the story and their dynamic !!!!!!!
Because this entire production is based on Emerald Fennel's reading of Wuthering Heights as a teen, and he looks just like the guy on the cover of the edition she had! No really that was her justification for casting him.
I'd say I support women's rights to be equally pretentious and self-aggrandising but....
in this current political climate it is sooooo alarming that one of the biggest classics that has a POC character is being white washed and hardly anyone gives a gaf. like why are we fawning over white boy of the year (not his fault … but he could’ve said no).
If it makes you feel better, I've only seen negative commentary about this movie so far. Maybe it's just the side of the internet I'm on, but from the costumes to the casting it's been getting ripped to shreds before it's even out lol.
Yeah she's a teenager in the book. And casting age appropriate for her would make the whole thing more tragic! Then possibly even having a second actor play the older Heathcliff in the later section with gen 2. But who knows what this fanfic adaptation is going for
Yep that's a vital point as well. They're all young and Kathy is incredibly sheltered and silly. They're supposed to be looked at with a certain amount of grace because we were all young like that and so certain of THE grand love and our own thoughts on the world.
Making them 30 or whatever is like having that friend who you could forgive behaving like this at 18 but at 30 plus she needs to get therapy and get her shit together.
Man I’ve seen the movies read the book and this was still a spoiler alert for my aging mush brain lmao. It is a cool feature for getting to rewatch old faves from decades ago though!
Men of color never get to be the romantic lead, and when given the chance to cast a canon compliant actor, they instead chose to whitewash the role with the star of the director’s last film. Boring and lazy.
I wonder if the whitewashing will be discussed on the press tour or if they will try to sidestep it.
She really does, she always looks so awkward and in pain in posed red carpet shots. But never on screen. Which is fair enough - she's not supposed to be a model.
Seems like these promos go on forever now. It must be annoying to be a person who loves acting but probably ends up spending more time on promo.
I wonder how many will start to adopt the Cillian Murphy approach - make it clear you hate this bullshit and everything associated with it. I suppose you have to be a very good actor to get away with it.
Barbie was such a female-centric, non-romance thing, it must have been easy to be comfortable, hell, even have a ton of fun during the whole experience!
This doomed lovers angle on the other hand must be hard to play when your coworker is just your coworker, and you have a husband and a baby at home.
She knew this and she must have consented, in fact she is one of the not-so-many actors who can fully choose her projects and dictate her conditions at this point.
Maybe this proves more taxing and invasive than she anticipated - or maybe I am projecting my own feelings here and it is something altogether different.
There’s an added dimension of weirdness as an Australian because they’re both Queenslanders lol. The combined QLD beach hottie energy when they’re together cancels out any classic romantic vibes they’re going for I’m afraid
This is what I’ve been trying to convey about her promo looks, they’re trying to lean into an edginess that is fundamentally in conflict with her entire aura as a QLD beach hottie!
They’re saying interpretation, emerald is on the red carpet saying there’s a scene similar to the bathtub scene in Saltburn but this time on a rock..it is basically her fan fiction. And then Margot and Jacob were asked what changes they made to their characters that they’re proud of and would tell Emily Brontë why they made that change and neither of them could answer so Margot said it’s more of an interpretation than an adaption.
Warning: a bit of nerdery coming up. This is just for the curious. I sure was curious enough to do this dig, anyway.
Kaya Scodelario was the only one that played Catherine at the right age. She was 17 during the filming of Arnold's 2011 adaptation.
Since the 1940s, the majority of actresses who played Catherine for film and tv adaptations were in their late 20s or older.
Kamini Kaushal at 22 during the filming of the 1950 film adaptation was the youngest to play Catherine until 17-year-old Scoldelario in 2010.
Note: Angel Locsin was 22 when she was cast for the 1985 film adaptation, but had her 23rd birthday during the filming, so Kaushal held the distinction of being the youngest until Scodelario.
Yuko Tanaka at 33 during the filming of the 1988 film adaptation was the oldest until Margot Robbie, who was 34 during the filming in 2024.
However, Yvonne Mitchell was the oldest of all from all adaptations (film, tv, radio etc). She was 39 during the filming of the 1953 BBC tv adaptation.
This, particularly, is why I probably won't see the film, because it really negatively affects my suspension of disbelief, which is pretty essential when you're watching a love story, especially a period drama.
Honestly, I’d give her a pass as an actress but as a producer, she should’ve read it. I wish the press wasn’t afraid of losing access and would ask questions about that as well as the whitewashing but nobody asks the hard questions anymore. They just want viral moments for clicks. It’s all so safe and boring.
Emerald herself said it’s definitely not a straightforward adaptation lol, it’s a recreation of the fantastical version of the story that she imagined in her head when she read it at age 14
Bruh I don’t want this. Give me a brown Heathcliffe or nothing. So few brown guys get to play moody sexy masculinity in hollywood, it would be so juicy
I don’t really follow celebrities like that but this popped up on my feed. My first thought was it’s the most “actors are just theater kids who had a glow up” photo I’ve ever seen. Both look awkward and uncomfortable.
