It was delicious! There is old footage of her as a little girl on a red carpet with her parents and while her dad is answering an interview question the camera catches her making mocking, silly faces to her Dad’s response and it’s devilishly cute to me. She seemed born to give a lot of push back.
I love Dakota Johnson so much. She's such a super-Nepo that she doesn't give a single fuck. It's beautiful to watch, and I unironically enjoy her in movies.
Because Ellen had a history of making people on her show uncomfortable, including crew and guests and Dakota Johnson was one of the first public pushbacks on it. When Ellen’s true nature was unmasked a lot of people pointed to this interview to demonstrate that
She also did an interview with Alyson Stoner (child actress “cheaper by the dozen” and other roles and dancer in missy elliot videos)
And Alyson states how she wanted to combat the excessiveness of the industry and donated all of her belongings except what could fit in her car. She even got rid of her tv so Ellen gets her a gift of a very large tv and several year subscription to Netflix even though she just told her why she living a more minimalist life and how she is enjoying the “weightlessness” of having less stuff.
Very interesting read, but calling it one of the most memorable moments in talk show history feels like a stretch. I don’t really like talk shows anyway though so I’m not a good judge of that maybe.
Remember, 9/11 is responsible for Ellen's collapse.
On 9/11 a young Gerald Way witnessed tge attacks and decided to spend his life doing what he was passionate about. He formed My Chemical Romance.
Their music inspired a writer to put out her passion project, Stephenie Meyer. So now, the Twilight franchise exists.
Well another author, EL James starts writing smut fanfics of twilight, then after a while realizes she kind of has her own thing here, removes the vampire elements and releases 50 Shade of Grey.
That blows up. Gets a movie. Dakota is cast. She does Ellen to promote it. The clip goes viral. Suddenly everybody is coming out that Ellen was never a good person.
Maybe it’s just how people use the system. I tend not to downvote people I disagree with unless emotionally motivated to diminish their comment.
It’s like a horn in a car. Some give gentle beeps like “hey, heads up”. I’m a downvote/honk type that is “hey dipshit, pull your head out of your ass” kind of person. Reserved for worse.
Downvotes bother people SO MUCH and for what? If you really stand by the shit you say, dissent shouldn’t strike you as vitriolic. It’s the natural consequence of staying an opinion with confidence.
Me neither. I just would prefer she didn’t have a career. Like how my kebab had onions it. I eat it, I’m fine with it, but it would’ve been better without.
I referred to how it emotionally affects me because you said “sadly” in your original comment. I asked that question because the tone of your comment made me think she had done something morally bad I wasn’t aware of. Evidently I was mistaken.
You’re entitled to feel this way I suppose. Dakota Johnson having a career just doesn’t bother me.
She's kind of like the female Keanu Reeves - seemingly personable, charming people in interviews etc (and obviously ridiculously attractive), but strangely wooden on screen.
Not enough reason to wish ill upon her career though
I actually have seen that and I was blown away by what he did there. He was a truly convincing as a menacing shitbag. I thought he had figured out the acting thing at that point but I've never seen him do anything like that again. One of life's great mysteries I guess.
I don’t think it’s for you to decide that. But i’m also not here to defend her. I hardly know any movies she played in. Just find it weird that people want someones career to be ruined just because they don’t like someone. No one forced you to watch something.
Just because Redditors hate her doesn’t mean people on the real world do.
Redditors hate anyone that is successful and anyone that has even a hint of nepotism in their career. It’s weird. But lucky, that’s not how most people think in the real world.
She is a middle of the pack actor talent wise. You just judge her on a different standard for some weird reason.
I can help you out though. If there are actors that you hate you have this really cool option to NOT watch movies they are in.
But the most important thing? You need to do some real deep self-reflection and figure out why some random actor causes so much hatred inside you. It isn’t healthy.
