Did Rachel even have a career to destroy in the first place? I'm not huge on the 'beautiful elite' but the Snow White debacle is the first time I heard of her.

[@foxboy6145]

You'd think she did, given how she acts. Especially funny, given ALL of her movies have bombed.

[@hellequinnz]

Spielbergs westside story was supposed to be a big deal and flopped hard with her in the lead role then Shazam2 was tracking to make a billion like the first one and flopped with her playing a main villian. Now she’s in hunger games, another solid franchise. Her acting is fine, not stellar. Her agent is clearly getting her good roles, but they just keep flopping.

There is a thing used in pschology research called the "Single Item Narcissim Test" and, as its name implies, it's a single question. The question is just basically : "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much of a narcissist do you think you are?". This test is less precise than a typical 40 question narcissism questionnaire but only just barely. So yeah, when people tell you they are one, you should really believe them.

Here what I don’t understand: the actors have teams comprised of an agent, a manager, a publicist, a lawyer, and an accountant, and more. Where are these professionals when it comes to telling their client to STFU?

[@ShaunFVG]

Easy. Fired lol. Because most actors are entitled nitwits who won't listen to anyone or take criticism. So most of their teams are just yes men. When ziggler did her snow white interview they all gave her the slay queen treatment rather than the "are you nuts?" Either way, they get paid though

My favourite analogy for the 18 hours in a Disney princess dress is like a carpenter that gets paid for building a table but also gets paid every time someone eats off of it.

[@Shtave3]

That's perfect

[@AdeelTariq0]

Yeah but a table can't be made once and sold to millions by a publisher or studio. The carpenter gets paid everytime he sells a table. Their is no corporation to make him do one table and then take his work and sell it to the masses.

[@dashx1103]

Ok. But a carpenter charges based on the usefulness of his creation over time ... right? A person doesn't pay a carpenter for a table based on having a single meal on that table. Does he? I don't think so. I think usefulness and use of the item is factored in to the cost of it. That just makes sense ... right? I know that kind of blows up your weird radical capitalist angle on this ... but I think it is what it is.

[@spenser9908]

Thing is, she could very well be right, but what's so gross is the attitude. She's a glorified lottery winner in her early 20s with more money than my family will make in several generations, acting like she's hard done by in this vitriolic fashion.

[@rbarnett3200]

I remember her whinging about wearing a costume and I’m sure people thought the same thing as me: “You’re getting paid an absolute mint to play dress up. Other people work in mines or are firemen or have legit difficult jobs that they’re underpaid for and they do it day in day out for years. You have to wear a dress and get paid millions for a few months work? Oh boo fucking hoo”

[@wishingwell12345]

As a society we need to stop rewarding narcissism. Stop watching the movies these people make and stop buying the products they shill for.

[@haveanotherpinacolada]

Most people are braindead sheep so they follow these people.

[@marcogenovesi8570]

rewarding narcisism is a standard instinct everyone has. Higher IQ people usually know when to suppress it. Lower IQ people follow the Kardasians

[@tjroelsma]

The problem is that our same society has hoisted these people on pedestals and adores them. Being an actor/actress used to be seen as a job: people with acting talent got hired to work in movies and/or series. Now some people arguably had more talent than others and an even smaller part of that group had the charisma that drew people to them. As a consequence, those people were praised and adored, but nobody mistook them for having a superior intellect just because they weer an actor/actress and there lies the problem we face these days. Nobody took what actors like Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell or even Clint Eastwood and Michael J. Fox thought about politics seriously, because they were "just" actors. Yet in present day some people seem to think that people like Brie Larson, Rachel Zegler and even frigging Ezra Miller are some kind of superior class that not only needs to be listened to as some kind of oracles, but that also needs to be protected from their own (mis)behaviour(s) at all costs. The bottom line in my opinion is that having acting talent doesn't automagically make people highly intelligent, morally superior or politically superior; they're just like "normal" people because they ARE normal people who are blessed with a specific talent.

[@MarvinPowell1]

The difference is Daniella Pineda a no-name nobody who Hollywood isn't giving a Roman Reigns level push towards making you "like." Hollywood legit thought people would flock to see Brie Larson and Rachel Zegler in movies, so went overboard with the hype and fake fans and bots on social media. They actually do this a lot; trying to artificially inflate the popularity of people like Sam Worthington, Jai Courtney, Jennifer Lawrence, Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, or Ella Balinska. The music industry does it even more. Nobody in the real world likes Rachel Zegler just like nobody in eh real world listens to f*cking Drake songs. This even works on KZbin; if people upvote their own comments or get bots to like their videos; you'd be surprised how easily they can spike in "popularity."

This is just common sense and one of the most important rules in market research: Ask your core audience! And "the average dude" is just not the core audience for "A Wrinkle in Time" or even willing to watch it to form his own opinion or professional enough to even try to give a measured response if he watched it and didn't like it.

When Kevin Costner played Jim Garrison in JFK, he played the character very well. A character that believed JFK had been killed for reasons other than the official explanation. And yet, Costner himself really adheres to the official explanation. What he did was get into character as he was being paid for, and what he didn't do is bring his own vision of the story to the character. Also, he didn't campaign against the movie's subject treatment nor did he rant against moviegoers, and no one held a grudge against him. I still follow actors that said things I do not agree with, but, like Costner, they said it once, and didn't make a hill to die on out of it. Larson and Zegler are another beast. They explicitly said, repeatedly, that I was not their target audience. That I and everyone like me were, in short, despicable on many levels. Until I see that they have changed their point of view, I don't wish them ill, but, there is no reason for me to support whatever they might be doing. Consequences consequences. In short, we are STILL in a free society that has free market. I have the opportunity to chose what I consume. If it's not for me, that's it. If it's not for anyone, that's it. And as far as I know, being lectured isn't part of the enjoyment of watching a movie. You can challenge my views, yes. Give me substance to think about. But not lecturing me.

Spot on. As an oldie I never thought I'd see lectures from Hollywood with US access media supporting it AGAINST the customer base. I've enjoyed HW films for many years including the old B/W 30's, 40's and 50's films. Actors then were media trained and knew bringing controversy to a project could earn them a contract suspension.Since the 80's activist types began pontificating on pet political projects during award acceptance speechs causing the Oscars to now have a speech time limit. Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere spring to mind whilst back then HW & the public groaned. HW's forgotten you never publicly take sides in politics and religion when your job is to make money.

The difference between acknowledging problems that exist in society and pushing to make a positive difference vs getting antagonistic about it and shining a very negative and solution-less light on it, that's where Larson and Zegler fumbled.

Exactly. No one’s out here trying to doxx her home, or harass her wherever she goes online or irl, no one’s even going out of his was to get her fired from all her places of employment. We, the paying audience, simply don’t like to financially support sexist racists. Until she learns to reign in her disgusting actions and possibly even apologize to the audience she has belittled, she doesn’t deserve the support. “Separate the art from the artist” only works if the art can be enjoyed without contributing rewards to the artist in the wrong. For example, an actor made a lot of masterful movies in his time, but decades later is revealed to be a criminal. We should still be able to enjoy the movies he made before that time, because he isn’t going to be rewarded financially for that. Brie Larson and Rachel zegler do benefit from people going to see their stuff as it comes out; no piece of media is worth rewarding evil behaviors.

If you have other projects that cost 500 million in production and marketing, an actor mouthing off could cost you a hundred million dollars depending on what they say. I can appreciate studios having an episode and doing something self destructive so that a message has been sent. If you let apply a stringent standard on free speech, then you've have to shrug if Tom Cruise said he always wanted to get into dogfighting or if Emma Watson hopped on twitter and burned a Quran. To me, it seems like discipline to not say anything that could cost your film millions of dollars or jeopardize the film studio's commercial arrangements (because a studio would have partners and financiers and insurers or whatever). If you (as a film studio) stand behind something they hate, they might never work with you again.

Actors and actresses live in a world where they are rewarded for how convincing they are in fabricating an illusion for us. They are rewarded for pretending to be something they are not. So it stands to reason that many of them can delude themselves into thinking that their existence and their opinions are more important than the common man and woman, and that it would behoove us to listen to them. The only antidote to this problem is for all members of the viewing public to stop listening to actors and actresses, as they dispense their opinion on matters of politics and culture.

[@MarvinPowell1]

This is because Hollywood, as well as SEVERAL industries like music and politics, are all built on fake hype and artificial buzz. So much of it is "Fake it till you make it" and hope it actually works. They do this for both the actors and audience. Rachel Zegler has only been in Westside Story, Shazam Fury of the Gods, the Hunger Games prequel that just flopped, and Snow White, which is still a year away from release, and yet we all know who she is. The only difference is, in the past, Disney and other PR firms could manipulate the narrative and turn bad PR into profit. But that's no longer been the case since Brie Larson, or arguably before her, Jennifer Lawrence. Normies are waking up to the fact that most famous people suck and have garbage personalities, especially after the industry has spent the last eight years calling us bigots if we don't go see their shitty movies like Ghostbusters, Birds of Prey, Terminator Dark Fate, Charlies Angels, Captain Marvel, etc.

[@saunterfilms]

Her act in "Room" was great though.

[@haroldb1856]

Brie is a very convincing plank. You know why? Method acting! According to one rumour, she spent six months in a lumber yard before filming Captain Marvel. Someone asked if she was trying to be next Keanu Reeves. She said, I'll be the next me, thank you verry much! No, thank you, Brie. Here, have an Oscar.

[@ghostprojekt]

She can be great when she is given half decent material to work with and someone coaches her before interviews.

Throughout most of human history acting was considered one of the lowest professions. Because they would do and say anything for money. It was only after the invention of the film industry that they began to be looked at as someone to be admired and respected. How nice of them to remind us who they really are.

[@source3nergy203]

Let us bring back traditional sense

[@heimdal8]

And the only reason people looked up to and revered the stars of Hollywood’s golden and silver age was because of the studios. WB, Universal, UA, RKO etc. knew how to create movie stars and the secret was: keep the stars private life private and the stars quiet. The movie stars were basically forbidden from talking to the press unless it was through a pre-approved press junket orchestrated by the studios PR-team. Otherwise, silence. This created a situation where the general public were free to imagine that the stars were intelligent, funny and charismatic in private. People worthy of admiration. When this system started to fail in the 70’s and 80’s and definitely since the invention of social media we have started to relize just how dumb and pathetic most of these people are. Who knew? Being an entitled, spoiled brat with no real education usually means that you are a horrible person. We have the odd exception (like Hedy Lamarr) but most Hollywood celebreties are just awful people.

You'd think that the studios would have a "Public Relations 101" mandatory class that all their actors and actresses would take. It would cover Tom Cruise's career; that would show his rise to fame, his over sharing in public about his personal life and his religious/political one (Scientology), the nosedive of his career after that and his redemption arc of him SHUTTING THE FUCK UP and ONLY talking about his movies after that and his return to being a Hollywood superstar. It's a horrible warning and a Good Example all in one. Of course, today's crop of actors would have to acknowledge that movies were made before they ever came along and they aren't The First (insert delusion here) To Star In Or Direct A Movie. Modern Hollywood can go F itself, for all I care. The videos pointing and laughing at their fall is all the entertainment I need when it comes to movies these days.

[@athreyabhat9325]

I would add on to show Keanu Reeves do be simple.

I've always said that someone could make a fortune operating a celebrity and streamer/youtuber advice service. Whenever they are about to comment on an issue or say something to a load of people they call the advice service and you just say "oh jesus christ no what are you insane? Don't say any of that". Could have saved or helped so so many careers.

So, it's perhaps not surprising that Gal Gadot has strong opinions on the topic of feminism. The actress - who had almost given up on her film career when she landed Hollywood's most badass female role - believes anyone who is not a feminist is by default sexist. "People always ask me, 'Are you a feminist?'" Gadot tells Rolling Stone, in a new interview out this month. "And I find the question surprising, because I think, 'Yes, of course. Every woman, every man, everyone should be a feminist. Because whoever is not a feminist is a sexist.'"

[@iamthewizardwhoknocks2845]

_another_ reason to dislike Gadot. 😉

[@yassinefarah2423]

I guess celebrities or anyone in Hollywood has to be absurd and extreme in their views.

[@MarvinPowell1]

@attats-mf9hy It's weird, because she said the exact opposite thing during the press promotion of the original Justice League, where she and Ezra Miller were doing interviews and Ezra was going on woke tirades and she expressly said she is NOT a feminist and that she very much LOVES men. My theory is that Gal Gadot is a well-meaning, normal, slightly-left Liberal, but not progressive/woke. She probably does think second wave feminism is a good thing, but recognizes fourth wave "transwomen are women" feminism is batshit insane. She probably hates most of the extreme Progressive talking points, but says what she needs to say in order to keep her career, especially since she's no longer Wonder Woman and recently expressed strong insecurity for her age (she's nearly 40) and getting old. Why would someone who's still as beautiful as her agree to play the old, bitter evil queen in Snow White? She probably thinks she's less attractive looking than the general public does. Gadot probably also realizes she isn't that good of an actress either and that her time in Hollywood may be drawing to an end, so keeps up appearances and says whatever BS they want her to say so she can keep her job. But in the past, Gadot's been adamant against man-hating, wokeness in general, or the erasure of women and femininity via the trans agenda. She probably saw what happened to JK Rowling and decided to shut up and say whatever they tell her to.

If someone offered me the opportunity to portray the evil queen, I'd be flattered. The queen is supposed to be beautiful, just not QUITE as beautiful as Snow White; her fatal flaw is her ego, not being an uggo.

[@masonr1666]

I thing Hollywood essentially gets left with two types of stars... Let's thing about how an actor gets hired. They face rejection, after rejection, until they obtain a part. So, what kind of personality would stay in this kind of industry? The most common, is someone who had a big ego. They know what they are worth, and they think they are underpaid. Aka more narcissistic. They you have the other extreme, someone who is very humble, and has virtually no ego, and is extremely generous [i.e. Keanu Reeves]. Hollywood, basically is the extreme of everything, for better or worse.

Dude i have never seen a career implode so fast. West side story was what 2020? She survived less than 3 years. Hollywood really needs to make media training mandatory. Because every movie shes said something bad that made the audience man. Everyone talks about snow white. How about telling west side story audiences to "learn Spanish" even though she is a "No Savo kid" Saying she only took the role in shazam because she needed a job. Snow white lol And hunger games is just a reflection on all that stuff. Im just saying if youre gonna manufacture an "It girl" make sure shes more that just cute. Especially when shes not cute enough to make us ignore the attitude. Shes not 1997 Salma Hayek. Shes more the really hot chick that works at the target Starbucks.

[@MarvinPowell1]

Fully agree. The problem is having narcissists select narcissists as "the next big thing" and thinking everyone will love them and being unable to see otherwise cause they're narcissists. Worse of all, Rachel Zegler is legitimately not even the least bit attractive looking. She's a 5 _at best_ and even Pokimane is slightly cuter than Zegler. I'm short and ugly and most of my exes have legitimately looked better than Zegler or Poki. So Zegler doesn't even have looks going for her, in addition to being an idiot who ruins their own career before even having a single successful movie.

[@_Jay_Maker_]

Tom Cruise is supposedly a weirdo - particularly given his Scientology ties - and yet his films rake in bank and are very nearly always extremely entertaining. It's almost as if talent and having a personality that's engaging are what matter when being a successful actor is concerned. Weird how that works.

The problem is that in any industry that makes money, there will always be bad people trying to get a piece of the pie and cause destruction for personal gain. It doesn't make an industry itself rotten, but people will pay attention to the bad apples since they're the loudest and the ones causing chaos for everyone else. And it gets worse when such people get into positions of power within said industry.
