I honestly can’t get over “The Good Place.” My I convinced my mother to watch it with me since she dropped it before it got good. And boy did we love it. We binged it and cried at the last episode. I’m glad she enjoyed herself during production. It looked like a fun show to make.

[@pepper5274]

It is my favorite show. Ever. It was the only show I watched that I felt like nothing was dragged out too long, and the only show where I was truly satisfied with the ending.

[@iKate36]

I did the same with my mum during a pandemy. And I also "forced" her to trust me and don't fall into the impression of the "stupid american comedy, with stupid characters". It was a first thing for a really long time which we have watched together, since our taste in movies differ a lot. But at the end she loved it. I also convinced my friend to watch it, telling her she HAS to get through the first season to really get this show :)

[@bladeofgrassinthefield]

i have seen it many times and just convinced my mom to watch it with me (her the first time) and we are on the final episode tomorrow after binging it lol

For some unbelievable reason I've never seen Veronica Mars before. Currently watching it, I'm a 24yo guy and it's honestly one of my favourite shows already. It's a detective teen drama show. That's pretty much the best pairing if the plot is good and well, the plot of Veronica Mars is insane

Veronica Mars will always be one of my favorite shows! The dramatics were insane, and the characters are the story. The way Kristen plays Veronica is everything!

Never felt so relatable to one comment! Also 24yo, and also started to watch veronica mars in 2022. And I didn´t believed that I always heard about the show, but never started to watching, even that was my kind of tv show, and now is definetely one of my favorites!

[@silversleeper1193]

The fact that the only two categories women can play is pretty girl or quirky girl is exactly the problem.

I think her point was that that's not necessarily the reality any more. She said that it changed or even completely vanished

[@oyvey8596]

Yeah, to say the least😅

[@johnindigo5477]

I feel like in the last decade the rules became less and less ridged. We have female badasses, academic types, wierdos who can be fierce, sexually empowerd, and strong women with hearts of gold. Theres still a lot of stereotypes but theres alot more 3 dimensional women characters.

[@davidkonevky7372]

Also, their ethics. Who tf says that someone is not "pretty enough" for acting? You could have been less direct AT LEAST

[@jockturner1547]

@@davidkonevky7372 That's simply the horrible nature of visual projects. I don't think the producer really meant she isn't pretty, she isn't, at least in the early 2000s, what you would consider conventionally pretty, as well know that Bell is both a great actor and is very pretty. While I agree there is far far better ways to approach that conversation. Such as saying, "you don't have the look we are wanting". Its not necessarily a personal attack as much as straight answer. When casting a character, unfortunately it doesn't just boil down to how good they act, a huge part of if is how they look. Does the actors look support the narrative? It sounds horrible but I've sat down going through actors who have applied and who we will reach out to audition in person for a role. Say we are casting our main lead, male or female doesn't matter, the legitimate conversations often go as follows: "they're too pretty", "hmm maybe a little too odd looking", "I like their look but they're facial features don't align with the script, perhaps we can audition them and see how they are." "Oh I love their look, we'll audition them." "Nah they just kind of look boring". It sounds terrible, but you need to remember that a film is a visual product and you need to use all the tools at your disposal to both sell the product and also support the narrative. As it's a visual medium then discussions around how their talent looks will have to happen. I was never a huge fan of how some people spoke about some actors, but it's extremely hard to avoid when you are considering casting someone.

[@holdmyweight3597]

It’s because she isn’t really that tall or curvy. I mean compare Kristen Bell to Charlize Theron or Elizabeth Banks and I think you’ll see what I mean.

The part where she said living out the happiest 4 years she’s had while filming the good place actually made me tear up.

"Not pretty enough to play the pretty girl" is a huge difference than just saying 'not pretty enough'. Directors/writers obviously have a vision of something when working on their movie, and if an actress doesn't fit that vision, "not pretty enough for playing the pretty girl" is one way to express it. Not a great way, but one way.

Jason segel actually wrote the screenplay for forgetting sarah marshall.

She is the female Paul Rudd.

Kristen Bell is one of the most underappreciated actresses of our generation. I love her so much.

[@yejin1248]

This is probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable one ive seen so far. I admire how kirsten bell has come to a stage in life where she is able to voice what she believes in and has a visible impact on such topics.#lifegoal

Veronica Mars is one of the best teen dramas of the 00s. She deserved an Emmy for her role for sure.

Her saying "Living out the happiest 4 years I've had" about The Good Place is making me emotional 🥺😭 TGP is one of the best shows with the best cast

Absolutely loved The Good Place, sad and happy that it ended, need more like this! And Kristen is a must!!!

[@apricotblossom2991]

When she was talking about the Good Place and how the stars were aligning and how she lived through the best 4 years of her life, I literally cried. That kind of energy is so beautiful and I am thriving for that in my life and I hope for that for everyone. I hope we all get to that point where everything is aligned perfectly and it is the right place and the right time. 💜

It was probably edited out for time, sadly... (I know *I'd* watch a longer, uncut, bonus version)

[@tessadieter1201]

That's exactly what I was thinking. I just restarted it and I love her on it.

I also wanted to hear her talk about burlesque but I guess not... 😂

[@ellis9844]

Katie Edwards me too!

[@nocchi.9589]

My uncle worked on set for this particular project and he said Kristen talked for almost two hours on that chair with no breaks. She went into full detail about her Gossip Girl tapings and that she only met the main cast during cast parties and such. It’s a shame they edited out so much of her talk.

[@Pixelporygon]

“Not quirky enough to be the quirky girl” huh weird its almost like actresses and actors aren’t exactly like the characters they portray

She's so talented. I dont understand how she is so humble when she has one of the sweetest, most amazing voices on the planet.

I’m thinking of watching the original gossip girl, is it worth it?

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

@@theo153 What are your likes? I personally find no interest in it, but the most drama I go is Veronica Mars. I'm a Scifi Girl myself and not into Greys Anatomy or 90210 types shows. I heard Gossip Girls is along the lines of Melrose Place and that ilk. It is only worth it if you like that type of show.
