Even though her new movie is also crap, this Academy Award winner/nominee who is A list showed up at TIFF to take the critical beating and promoted it as best she could. She knows it sucks, but is giving it her best shot.
Anne Hathaway/Colossal
Except that it's not crap, it was well received and sold for a lot of money. But don't let the truth get in the way of a good (fake) story.
ReplyDelete"Hathaway plays an alcoholic writer living in New York with her boyfriend (Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens). When he dumps her, she is forced to move back to her parents’ empty home in her small hometown, where things promptly take a turn for the weird: she develops a psychic link with an enormous monster devastating Seoul.
ReplyDeleteAt eight o’clock each evening, the creature appears over the South Korean capital, where its movements exactly imitate her own. If she raises an arm, it raises an arm. If she lies down, it flattens a row of skyscrapers."
Sounds like a REAL WINNER
I'm sure if you looks at the synopses of a lot of movies they would look like crap on paper. Donnie Darko, for one.
ReplyDelete*look
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I said this before, but it is an actor's job to promote their films. They get paid millions, and if they don't want it, someone else will.
ReplyDeleteI would say here appearances are contractual.
ReplyDelete(Shooting a movie is like playing craps! You don't want to roll a seven!)
here = her
ReplyDeleteSounds like a video game. It might attract moviegoers if it's promoted properly.
ReplyDeleteAcadamy Award winning actress has a better work ethic than burnouts, Lindsay Lohan & Mischa Barton!
ReplyDeleteSounds like she understands the duties and responsibilities of a well paid actress.
ReplyDeleteShe signed up for it before anybody else did, according to her interviews. She said she loved that it was Independently produced and combined genres and reminded her of movies she liked when she was a teenager. Not that it sounds very good to make me want to watch it though. Every move she makes in a playground causes a giant monster in South Korea to react.
ReplyDeleteThat's being a professional and keeping your commitments. Good for her!
ReplyDeleteShe does what she is paid for, and the writer thinks is worth to mention.
ReplyDeleteThat says a lot about the writer's work ethic.
I'm confused by this blind considering Anne got well received reviews for her performance? Even the critics who disliked the film praised her performance.
ReplyDeleteColossal had the second highest bid at TIFF. It found a distributor 2 days after its premiere. This sounds like a bias "blind" orchestrated by Enty. -.-
ReplyDeleteWow, a novel. Good job she-boy. Who knew he-shes took movies so personally.
ReplyDeleteNo---that one sucked on film too.
ReplyDeletei don't share hate for anne...
ReplyDeleteSounds like one of these:
ReplyDelete(A) Enty can't fathom that some people do the jobs they are paid to do,
(B) He thinks the premise is bad, so he deigns to declare the movie bad, without ever seeing it,
or
(C) He hates Anne Hathaway, so will use any excuse he has to crap on her.
Probably multiple.
Colossal was the sleeper breakout hit of TIFF. Reviews were excellent for the most part, many critics expressed surprise that the weird concept worked so well and loved the story. Anne was praised as standout, as was Jason Sudeikis.
ReplyDeleteExpect bigger things for the director Nacho Vigalando if this does well at the box office.
I dunno what people are talking about lol reviews were not excellent for the most part. The movie has a 59 on MetaCritic, and that's just out of TIFF alone. It got a mixed reaction at best. Anyway, part of her job is to promote her work, even if the work is bad. So good for her. She's a pro.
ReplyDeleteLOL Derek, that's hilarious. I can't even believe they made that thing - and with AnnE Hathaway? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteHomophobia is unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteWait - we have a bunch of dweebs here touting the supposed glories of the AnnE Hathaway Godzilla fantasy movie?
ReplyDeleteOh for fuck's sake, people.
