‘Wednesday’ star Jenna Ortega’s rude comments should kill her career — but they won’t

Alec Guinness should be hanged by the same metric.I remember Mark Hammil refused to say a certain line in Star Wars Episode 4 because he told George Lucas no human being would speak like this (essentially foreshadowing the prequels’ dialogue quality). “Clearly” he should have been fired on the spot for his “unprofessionalism”.

In some ways I think this is a good point. I do feel that the NYP article is ironically full of the sort of "how dare she, this person should be canceled" sort of moral police mentality that people hate about wokeness in the first place, and I do ultimately side with Ortega in this, but we are still talking about two different situations.
Ortega was pushing back at writing that she didn't think was appropriate for the character based on her personal opinion, while Cavill pushed back due to not sticking with the source material, and doing their own thing instead of following the books. Similar, but still fairly different.

I'd be fine with that.Off-topic, she’s got some beautiful freckles which are unfortunately often caked with makeup. Probably not the best picture either, she looks like she’s about to do a cam show in the bathroom.
EDIT: Isn't this just called ad-libbing?

She's posing in lingerie with a provocative pose and seductive facial expression. Not that I'm saying I would watch though... legitimately.

My understanding is that they did, but DnD had a reputation of not giving a shit.

Sounds like one of those salty older feminazis who get butthurt when guys their age go for the young 19 - 25 year old lol

I can’t decide if she’s hot or not. This is something I’ve long pondered.

On a different topic, Killing Eve is a shit show. Dropped after a couple of episodes. Just looked it up on my imdb app - I gave it a 3/10.

Hopefully she makes more changes in season 2, that whole loving violence and at the same time being against violence shtick was exhausting.

I remember that one lol. Was a black girl wearing a thong, though I'm guessing it had skidmarks all over it based upon the evidence.

I think nice to look at but is too young for any serious consideration.

We have a Zoomer amongst us.
Her racism?
Shes got large eyes, symetrical features, and DSLs on top of those freckles.
Shes pretty fucking hot.
Alot of her fame is clearly Manufactured Authenticity of course via the totally "Bias-less and not backdoored" Algorithm.

It’s refreshing. Also the new batch of forum members seem younger and somewhat less jaded. It’s a nice change of pace.

Ah, there is the crux. Writers are a special class of protected people whose work is unassailable or they will strike. Unlike actors who are a dime a dozen.
Like anyone goes to see this because it was written by
-The writers of the worst Mummy film (although they also wrote Made Men, an underrated classic)
-Someone who wrote an episode of Ally McBeal and Emily in Paris
-A Gossip Girl and Reign episode writer and also some shows no one watches
The gap between them and Tim Burton must have been incredible and Jenna is right to try to get some consistency and not auteurs pushing their unique vision.

Writers have way too much power in TV, unlike in movies where their shit gets tossed or changed every day of the shoot. But either way, actors changing lines on the fly to better suit what they think is there character is hardly a new thing. There's always a push and pull in creative productions, yes even if they are commercial.
Hmm actors also have a pretty big union...

When I first read this, I thought you were criticizing bounding in to comics. After thinking about it a bit more, I realize that you're probably criticizing Netflix, since they're the only constant in this equation. In that case, it's a very good point.

It sounds like she's just standing up for her craft, and pushing back against some bad writing, rather than being an arrogant POS. There is a lot of crap TV and film including high budget mega franchises, and it often the writing, rather than the acting that lets it down. More actors needs to make a stand for what they do and the characters they are giving life too... I didn't read it all, but I get the gist that is what she is doing.

They are consistent. Consistent shit. It's actually mind-blowing how terrible writing is in almost all of modern american movies and shows. Its like someone lobotomized whole generation of writers.
