RE that Berlatsky take earlier: https://twitter.com/willmenaker/status/1510126946843344896?t=yG2DLY0v7P_d-0uZ-Iatjg&s=09 Lol

Leto won an Oscar for Dallas Buyer's Club. I think that gives him a bit more fuel to burn before he's considered washed up. I don't think he was eye-candy on the level of a Denise Richards. Not sure if I can think of a male equivalent of that kind of sexbomb status since Hollywood's pretty sexist and I feel like men in Hollywood get unjust career chances despite their looks, not because of them.

i mean I hate to even tangentially defend berlatsky here but Dracula in the original novel was pretty far from a critique of the upper class. yes he was a count but it wasn’t from a “real” nobility like Britain, his home is described as all kinds of busted and overall he’s got a consistent depiction of being some filthy but exotic foreigner here to steal our women and pretend to be a real person, not the swarthy rat-being he actually is. he’s not a stand-in for marginalized people but the count as written probably has more similarity to, like, the Hollywood depiction of a cartel lord or banana republic dictator in the pop culture framework than to any class-aware depiction of a rich oligarch

Ryan Gosling and Timothee Chalamet come to mind as recent male sex symbols but I cannot call either of them bad actors Brad Pitt is the classic of the form and he's good; Clooney is at least competent Is Henry Cavill a good actor or just a good Geralt? e: men in Hollywood are more likely to get parts they don't deserve and can't actually play because of martial-arts prowess than good looks (lookin' at you, Stallone) loquacius has issued a correction as of 02:31 on Apr 4, 2022 |

knowing nothing about the story behind it, in retrospect it was probably bad timing for a movie where Matthew Mcconnoghey screams gently caress you at every medical professional he sees and takes a bunch of Herbalife supplements and horse tranquilizers from Mexico to treat his AIDS to get released to critical acclaim and win all the awards right before a global pandemic

I rewatched the first season recently and was kind of shook by how prescient it was.

For the past few months this song has been bouncing in and out of my mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnBDMpEREis and was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for something like this. Songs that have a kind of upbeat, nostalgic, teenage love vibe. Doesn't need to be kpop, ofc. I don't really listen to a lot of R&B, so I don't really have a place to start, so any good recs are appreciated

I still don't know why everyone on the internet seems to hate Jared Leto so much. I've never heard such vitriol about him expressed by people I work with, random people I encounter at work, people at bars, friends of mine, acquaintances of mine, loves of mine, or anything else. But it doesn't matter what forum or what platform you engage with on the internet, everyone hates Jared Leto. There's probably a tiny niche forum that's entirely focused on discussing a specific part of a car transmission that has people posting how much they hate Jared Leto right this second. I don't get it. I've tried to get it. I'm trying to get it, right now, with this post. He's a good actor. He might be a lovely person, but he's definitely a good actor.

I think that 99% of it comes down to this picture: After this first promo image for the Joker from Suicide Squad came out it became popular to rag on Jared Leto. That and all of the insane poo poo that he claims he did to get into character. It makes him come across as an rear end in a top hat who just sucks but thinks that he owns.

He’s not exceptional or noteworthy enough to justify casting him over the 100+ equally qualified actors in the queue for a given role, which I think stokes a resentment unique to the entertainment industry as people ask why they cast This Guy specifically.

Even the ones that don’t have the xenophobia angle, like Varney the Vampire and The Vampyre, still have the victim as an upper class British woman.

Anyways, I made a list: Upper classes = Vampires (live in castles) Upper-Middle classes = Mummies (can afford expensive burials) Middle classes = Swamp Creatures (some are canonically doctors) Lower-Middle classes = Werewolves (can afford to replace chains each month) Lower classes = Frankensteins (many are unhoused)
