Scar Jo and Charlize Theron are great to look at.
Great indeed.
Great indeed.

This list, barring Christina Hendricks is basically comprised of a bunch of actresses whose work I've hardly seen. The movies/shows I have seen them in, they didn't stand out to me at all.
Hendricks I've seen in Drive, Firefly, and Mad Men and she's solid but Mad Men is the only thing I've seen her in where she's had the ability to really flex at all.
Nope. Pretty sure she's always had a nudity isn't required to do her job mindset.
but for real you don't really want to know. CDAN Blind Items kind of ruined it a lot of stuff for me.

Robert Downing JR, Jeff Bridges were in the same series as her and ate all her lunch.
Willem Dafoe was good in Spiderman. Ledger, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Cillain Murphy, Bale to a lesser extent. Even Hathaway was pretty good in Batman. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine has had its moments.
Y'all gonna max Bismarck Kwame Biyombo and throw a parade over it.
Hathaway was lame as fuck in Batman. And I love Hathaway.
Dafoe showed up for a check in wackass Spiderman, too. Only good actor in any of the Spiderman movies was Franco - and they completely wasted him.
There are alot of intersting stories out there about who fucked who to make it in hollywood. Some are kind of more disturbing and sad.
The hayden panettiere story is an example of a fucked up one
I think you meant to say Alfred Molina
Also, Downey Jr isn't even acting in Ironman. He's literally going about his daily life - they just add in CG to remove to the whiskey from his hand.
Negative.
Negative.

Das Not Compute.
That taking off Spiderman's mask scene is contender for worst acting of all time.
Nobody can stand next to Toby that long and not succumb to being shit.
I don't know what to tell you then. Alfred Molina's baby home movies probably house more acting ability than Franco's career.

So we're comparing her to men who have a longer career and better movies under their belts (for the most part)?
Iron Man was taylor made for RDJ to be himself. Bridges was solid though. She's still hardly got a role in those movies though. Her Avengers stuff isn't great, I'll give you that.
Dafoe, Ledger, Hardy, and Bale were all major roles in those films. Caine was good but who was ever bad at Alfred? Murphy was good though. Hathaway's performance is highly over rated. Jackman's Wolverine is absolutely nothing to write home about but the character is limited, so there's that.
Still, out of that list I'd say only Ledger, Murphy, and Dafoe are what I'd consider really great performances. RDJ takes a hit because he isn't even really acting.
After Cloud Atlas and Man With The Iron Fists, you've lost me bro

Not RDJ's fault that him being himself is more compelling than ScarJo as a world class assassin.
Accept that/hold that.
I was raised Baptist, was Baptized at the age of 8 and was heavily involved in my church for years/attended service regularly, etc.... But then one day after being in a debate and getting told about some verses in the bible that I took issue with (particularly the support of slavery), I decided to actually read the Bible instead of just the parts I was told to read in church, bible study guides, and/or excerpts given to me in pamphlets at church. After reading through it, I came to the conclusion that the God I was taught to believe in church(s) and the God being described in the Bible were not the same and that I had too many issues with what was written in the book, from horrible incidents, to contradictions, to things that just didn't make sense, to continue calling myself a Christian or religious. I also learned from debating with my pastor, parents, and family that either I never believed in the same things to begin with or that my beliefs had gone on a different path once I started public school (ex: Evolution, the age of the Earth, etc....) things that I had adapted to fit into my Christian beliefs that I didn't realize no one else had done.
Present day I really don't care or think much about church or religion or the existence of God outside of religious attempts to change/affect laws and holidays when I go home to see family and have to pray before meals.

Give ScarJo a Black Window solo flick with Favreau directing and then a comparison can be made.
Half that as a child star. Dafoe, RDJ, Bridges, and Bale off the top of my head have catalogs that dwarf hers. Ledger was around the same length but a much better variety of roles.
She was good in....hackers.

An audience of thirsty men could pay double to watch her try and it wouldn't yield a return on that investment.
More like 20/20. I Don't get her success.
Nah, not 20/20. Changeling is one of the best films of the 2000s.

You really think she's gone be good at acting outta nowhere? The first 10 years of those guys careers outshine hers. Girl can't act.
You're killllllllllling me
Would not be surprised if he was using the casting couch. Same with that Taylor Kitsch dude.
Think Thomas Jane talked about using the casting couch in a interview a few years back.
Only ever liked her in Hackers and Cyborg 2

By lay an egg I thought DY meant financially. Haven't seen Changeling, Don't think many have. She was aight in ...uh..Gone in 60 Seconds?
You don't like Changeling? What do you like?
It made 135 million world wide and was up for academies/golden globes. A lot of people have seen it...
Shit, I forgot she was in that. She didn't have much of a presence in it. But the movie was the shit.
That was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen - and it wasn't because of the story either. I like Clint Eastwood as a director, but my god the actual progression of that movie was slow pressure to the nuts.
I love films that have a methodically suspenseful slow burn to their narrative. That's probably why I also considered Zodiac to be one of the best films of the decade.

Last I saw it made 35 domestic and cost 55. First seeing international figures.

She's already had spots where she's shined. She just needs more variety to grow. Ledger was the same way. Average Teen Heart throb actor until he started branching out.
I don't think I've seen Jolie as a lead in a film that I've liked. She's always a supporting role in the stuff I've enjoyed.

Ledger showed range quick out of the gate, he wasn't great by any means but leagues better than ScarJo. She legit can't act and has had tons of opportunities. It's simply not in her.

For reals though. Except stuff like Speed Racer and Pacific Rim.
