I’ve only ever seen Dakota Johnson in that one clip from Ellen and the commercials for Madame Web, and that was enough to convince me she’s cool. What makes you say she’s a gross piece of poo poo?

I think she just has a healthily low tolerance for classic Hollywood bullshit and is just fine not playing along.

On one hand good for her, but on the other hand that can have some negative side effects for her colleagues as well when she shits on projects.

Being so dismissive of marketing is unprofessional. It’s a reasonably big part of what actors are paid for. making GBS threads on films that you’ve worked on like that is really disrespectful and ungrateful considering the large sums she’s undoubtedly paid. If she doesn’t want to participate in Hollywood bullshit then she shouldn’t take big Hollywood films (and the big paycheques that accompany them). She’s trying to have it both ways.

are the same thing!

Hollywood actors are all either from Miseryville, Iowa (population 51201 and dropping) and came to Hollywood on a Greyhound with nothing but the clothes on their back and a dream and after five years of struggling they were discovered when walking down the street because a passing casting director thought they had an interesting chin OR they're seventh generation screen actors who have not even heard of the concept of a steady job.

I think either way you're going to end up a crazy person. The aforementioned Tippi Hedren was born in a weird little enclave in Minnesota but by the time she had Melanie Griffith she was shooting a quasi autobiographical movie about the lion colony she was living in the middle of despite all the maulings.

I watched an interview with barry keoghan the other day, because I'd just seen Killing of a Sacred Deer and I was like "huh might be interesting how do you behave like such a convincing little freak, like as a performative skill"

Turns out he doesn't he's just a little freak. They start rolling and he's just like that human being wise

No actor should have to participate in marketing as part of the requirements of their job. The less they give a poo poo about it the more I assume they're in it for the craft rather than the fame. You can be an artist and still be fun on the press junket, of course. But it's a bullshit part of the gig and shouldn't be a requirement.

Make it completely optional and also come with a big fat check, then I'll judge them for not giving a poo poo.

I’ve never understood the anger about “nepo babies” but I would like to see it applied to other industries.

“So how’d you become a baker?”
“Well, my dad was a baker and I just kinda fell into it”
“gently caress you. gently caress you”

If you have family in any industry it’s way easier to break into that industry. That’s basically unavoidable.

Not that I'm agreeing with gripweed or anything but I don't really give a poo poo about nepotism among actors because it's such a bullshit fake job already, like who gives a poo poo. Being a Hollywood actor is already just selling yourself as the product, it's not like a meritocracy even at its best. They're all insane disconnected fuckups anyway. It's like pro wrestling.

Then they should negotiate that in their contracts and they’d get paid less. I bet she doesn’t. Like it or not, it’s part of the job, especially if you’re a star.

I think that's next to impossible. It's just not on the table during contract negotiations. The studios are convinced that Dune 2 couldn't be a hit without Timothee sharing adorkable stories about Josh Brolin pulling pranks on set.

Sometimes jobs have annoying parts about them, having to do an interview is probably less annoying than things I've had to do for work. I feel like Dakota Johnson isn't a big enough draw or deserving of enough critical praise to get away with doing poo poo like that for a while without it seriously impacting her ability to get decent gigs. Like I think it's funny how she very much doesn't give a poo poo but it doesn't make me want to see her movies or anything.

I did like her in Suspiria 2018 but it wasn't exactly a deep role, Goth was more of a standout, even Chloe Grace Moretz was more interesting in the way she was swinging for the fences.

Nope! Meat Loaf began with just a spark and a flame, No family, no connections, to call their name, But with hard work and a heart so bold, They rose to the top, where stories are told. But, they may be a nepo parent!

Right, which means that the publicity and marketing side of things is a fundamental part of the contract. By disregarding that part, which is a big part of the reason she gets paid a gently caress ton of money, she is being really unprofessional she can’t have it both ways .

Judging by recent interviews she is really upset with how boring/safe/by-committee Hollywood has become and hates that nobody is taking creative chances (for the most part) so her behavior is more of a protest of that and less that she's just being lazy about the marketing side of things.
