"And I know I’m prejudiced about Jennifer Lawrence, because I always have and always will think she’s great. But with each performance, it becomes clear to me that she is one of the Greats, alongside my girl Judi Dench and the indomitable Meryl Streep."

Just admit that you randomly pulled this nonsense out of your arse and couldn't back it up with evidence if your life depended on it.

Before the whole Harvey Weinstein story broke, I've been saying for the longest that Jennifer's fame came out of no where....at least to me. She was winning Oscars she had no business winning, getting roles that she should've never gotten, which could've gone to a more age appropriate actress. And the last few films she's been in have been flops, which in my opinion speaks to her lack of real star power. I always felt she was forced on the movie going public. I really wonder how her career will fair now...

Another troll bot posting complete and utter BS on the net.

How is asking a simple question like that utter BS!?

That is not an intellectually curious, innocent "question". It is BS from a mindless gossip site. Apparently you've never heard of the concept of "evidence" and it plays no role in your thinking.

So the Tarot-card reading idiot you enabled thinks Lawrence's fame "came out of nowhere", with the insidious suggestion that somehow this was all Weinstein's doing.

Strike one--the talent scouts she met with as a teen immediately told her parents that she was the most talented 14 year old they had ever met. This judgment was repeated time and time again whomever they brought her to.

Strike two--She was getting awards and nominations from her very first film, made without any connection with Weinstein.

Strike three--She got the role for Silver Linings Playbook on the basis of a remote Skype audition and director David Russell's enthusiasm. Three different directors have openly described her as the Michael Jordan of acting.

Strike four--whatever the idiot you quoted thinks, her performances have been routinely praised by film critics, so her frequent awards nominations were predictable for anyone with a working brain.

But again, you don't deal with facts. You're just a vile troll who doesn't have a care in the world for reality.

"If I'm "vile" then what does that make Harvey Weinstein!?"

He's far worse, but you are basically a garbage human for spreading baseless, sexist rumors from sources that are absurdly unreliable.

reply

So if Jennifer Lawrence's name weren't attached to this, would that make a significant difference in your perspective!?

reply

Jennifer Lawrence isn't "attached to this". She worked on one film he produced five years ago on the basis of the director loving her Skype audition and was not harassed. She didn't even thank him at the Oscars. That's the end of the story.

The issue here isn't Weinstein's behavior, the issue is YOUR behavior of spreading lies with no basis in fact.

Objective reality and you don't get along, do they?

reply

Even so, why are so fucking overtly hostile and defensive (quickly labeling people as "trolls" and "vile") of and over Jennifer Lawrence!? So just because she only worked with Weinstein on one movie from five years ago, we're just suppose to automatically look the other way, no questions asked!?

reply

"Even so, why are so fucking overtly hostile and defensive (quickly labeling people as "trolls" and "vile") of and over Jennifer Lawrence!? "

Because you are, objectively, a vile troll, and I have no patience for worthless idiots who spread baseless lies, which is all you do. In one post a while back, your "source" based their information on reading fucking Tarot cards. You have no intellectual standards whatsoever.

"So just because she only worked with Weinstein on one movie from five years ago, we're just suppose to automatically look the other way, no questions asked!?"

In the complete absence of any evidence to suggest she was lying when she said she wasn't hit on by him, there is nothing to "look the other way about" and you have no justification for "asking questions"--other than that you are a vile troll.

Anyone who has followed the Weinstein controversy knows that this pig only preyed on young actresses early in their careers who had no power. The one and only time she worked for him, she was already a very successful actress and had plenty of power. Plus, she's very strong willed and not a shrinking violet. She's the last person he would have tried to abuse.

reply

Again with the "I'm rubber, you're glue" type of retort! Explain for example Mira Sorvino's career, who is also an Oscar winner (and presumably had power as well as family connections) after not going along with Weinstein:

reply

What? You can actually talk? Wow!

reply

"Explain for example Mira Sorvino's career. . ."

No, we're going to stay on subject.

Lawrence has said he never harassed her. By the time she worked for his company, she was already on her way to becoming a major star and wouldn't have needed a single favor from him. You have no evidence that contradicts her.

Case closed, troll.

reply

Of course she's not going to out and out say that he "harassed him", what exactly at this particular phase in her career (when compared to say Mira Sorvino, who has little else to lose) does she have to gain!?

Elle Magazine Party: Everyone was waiting for the altercation between those former bffs: that A+ list actress and Oscar winner/nominee and that B-list actress and celeb spawn.. No catfighting happened, but they did shoot daggers at each other the whole night. It probably stems from when the celeb spawn, at an event a few years ago, called out her former friend for sleeping with and sending those pictures to you know who and playing the victim card. The Oscar winner did get plastered after she accepted her award last night... hmm I wonder why?
A+ list actress: Jennifer Lawrence (sent to Harvey Weinstein)
B- list actress/celeb spawn: Riley Keough
Event: The 24th annual Elle Women in Hollywood Awards

Elle Magazine Party: Besides the elephant in the room mentioned in the previous blind item, the big talk at the event was that this controversial comedienne was supposed to host the gala last night but the Oscar winner from the previous blind item complained to the event organizers and got her sacked from not only this event but another gala she was scheduled to host The comic/mostly TV actor who replaced her revealed to another party goer that the comedienne was going to go after the Oscar winner and make her the butt of all her jokes. The Oscar winner has learned a lot from her mentor.
Controversial comedienne: Kathy Griffin
Oscar winner: Jennifer Lawrence
Comic/mostly TV actor: Joel McHale

More BS, no evidence. Gossip sites, tarot reading pundits: you have no concept of what a reliable source is.

How scumbags like you live with yourselves will always be a mystery to me. I guess that's because I only hang out with rational people who actually have a moral center, so creatures like you will always be an anomaly to me.

reply

So if Jennifer Lawrence's name weren't attached to this, would that make a significant difference in your perspective!?


No not for me. The tell tell sign that I'm reading a sexiest post designed to defame an actress is when the name TMC-4 is attached to the post. You have a pattern of doing this. You've done this to Kim Basinger, Taylor swift, Megan Fox (Not spammed though) to name a few since I see you spam posting "Breaking News" articles against actresses all the time. I'm suprised you didn't start this thread given your formula, Unless of course darkpast is a sock account. If I see a thread started by TMC-4 I typically just move on cause I've already now the formula of the post.

reply

By that logic, just about any or every sort of gossip or rumor about an actress is by design, borderline sexiest and set out to defame theme regardless of the validity of the truth!?

reply

Theres no logic to your assertion at all. You have a strong history of attacking female actresses. My statement is based on evidence of your previous posts. Your refutation isn't logical at all since I'm not complaining about all gossip just your patter of it.

Your not spam posting actors your spam posting actresses only and at a personal level with unsubstantiaed articles.

reply

"her performances have been routinely praised by film critics, so her frequent awards nominations were predictable"

"Predictable"? Sure.

"Deserved"? Hmmm not all.

There is some biases.

reply

""Deserved"? Hmmm not all.

Yeah--your biases.

reply

Come on man I'm one of the only people I personnaly know who legitimately thinks that she deserved her Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook. I think she was outstanding in that movie. I also thought she was amazing in Mother! I highly hope she receive an Oscar nomination.

This been said, I've seen 3 out of the 4 movies she was nominated for best actress.

Her performance in American Hustle wasn't awful, but just like Brandley Cooper she was highly annoying. Christian Bale and Amy Adams drove the movie with their exceptional chemistry and incredible acting. Cooper and Lawrence were the two loud mouths who always wanted to be involved where they shouldn't. Yes, I know, the script modelled their characters that way, but their acting was too pushed and didn't seem natural. I really don't get their Oscar nods.

And then we have Joy... Do I really have to make a point here? The movie's only Oscar nomination went to Lawrence. Once again she wasn't bad by any means. But among the five best of that year? At this point I found that Charlize Theron's performance in Mad Max: Fury Road had more depth. She was more than decent, but we all know that her Golden Globe win and Oscar nod were not objective choices.

Don't get me wrong, I love JLaw. She has charisma, beauty, tallent and there is something sweet going around her. But that doesn't mean I'll approve every single time she get nominated for an award.

Damn Meryl Streep is probably my favorite actress (well at least one of them) and I really don't approve each of her 10000 oscar nominations. And don't dare to tell me that everytime she gets nominated she actually deserves it.

Or let's talk about actors: Dustin Hoffman is one of my three favorite actors and I would be totally outraged if I see him being nominated for any of the trash he is doing nowadays.

reply

Bias in your post and countless others like it means nothing more than this:

"I alone have the ability to objectively assess reality, so if anyone thinks differently, it can only be because THEY have a bias."

reply

Sorry if I sounded SO arrogant, that wasn't my intention.

But I'm pretty sure that nevertheless you understood where I was going with this.

reply

1.Most actors are shoved into the public. You not just need a producers backing you need a whole industry.

A couple of years ago they were trying to make ryan gossling happen and he was in everything.
2. These awards are and have always been political.
3. J law is overrated, she is decent but her oscar was paid for just like others before.

reply

Ryan was not as bad as Colin Farrell or Jude Law at least

reply

"3. J law is overrated, she is decent but her oscar was paid for just like others before."

She's received more awards and awards nominations than any other actor, male or female, in her generation. You can't buy that.

reply

That's cute. and naive.

reply

Good luck articulating a single thing about my post that was naive.

reply

I've got better things to do than think about overrated J law and phony infomercial political "award" shows.

reply

You can DEFINITELY buy that. If not with money, with your star power. Come on don't be so ignorant you know that all these awards are now nothing more than another glamour competition. Not saying that they never nominate people or films which deserve it, just saying that with a good reputation you can definitely become a favorite and even if your work isn't exactly award worthy, it could get all the possible nominations.

Just like with the opposite, if you manage to get black listed in hollywood chances are that you never walk a red carpet again.

Come on, you can't be this ignorant.

reply

Acting ability has a subjective element and a popularity contest element, but it also has an objective element. When critical response aligns with awards volumes (including most importantly, awards put out by critics associations) and you have an aggregate consensus that someone is an extremely talented actor, that’s objective evidence that they are, in fact, extremely talented.

If you think this can be purchased, you are quite assuredly the one who is naïve, here.

reply

"When critical response aligns with awards volumes (including most importantly, awards put out by critics associations) and you have an aggregate consensus that someone is an extremely talented actor, that’s objective evidence that they are, in fact, extremely talented."

You're not wrong.

But it is exactly because of this approach that people in general don't seek for an objective opinion and base their on what the critics say.

Don't forget that a praised critic like Roger Ebert actually made an awful review of Usual Suspects. I don't know if it influenced a lot of people, because the movie is revered. But there is no way in hell that Usual Suspects in anywhere near from being. A bad movie.

(I just realized that this example was actually quite useless in my argument but well... I wrote it so.)

Objectivity works only if everyone can stay objective. If someone says that a movie is excellent without really understanding what is a good and what is a bad movie, and says so just because of the critics. Pretty useless opinion right?

And now again, I love JLaw and think she is an amazing actress but I think that if we talk about objectivity, we can clearly doubt that her nomination for Joy wasn't favoritism. No critic really talked about her performance as being out of this world and I remember that year, critics were praising a lot of actresses. Never really seen JLaw mentionned among the best. Yet, got a nomination. Alicia Vikander was moved into the supporting category (for I don't know which reason other than insure her win). She deserved that spot and I think mkst critics would have agreed with this. Plus, I remember people being tired of seeing her receiving nominations after nominations.

So if you talk about the general consensus, I think it doesn't work in this case.
