Unrealistic: Blunt plays the wife, Pugh plays the mistress


No man will cheat on Emily Blunt for fat, short, flat, ugly Florence Pugh.

This is the worst casting choice since Nolan pick Anne Hathaway plays Catwoman.

Reminds me of Fatal Attraction, where we’re asked to believe that Mike Doug would cheat on his smoking hot wife Anne Archer with… Glenn Close.

Suspension of disbelief has limits. I can believe in galaxies far, far away and men who can fly with lasers for eyes, but Glenn ‘manface’ Close over Anne Archer? Sorry, no.

In real life, Oppenheimer's wife is ugly, the mistress is hot. Nolan want us to believe a man will cheat on HOT Emily Blunt for UGLY FAT SHORT Florence Pugh!

reply

Are you a man? Do you understand that a man who is not getting enough from his beautiful wife will settle for plain-jane sex?

reply

Fuck off stalker.

reply

Ah, you're not a man. Thanks for making that clear.

Fuck off stalker.

Why are you so easily triggered?

Ummm, that sort of thing DOES happen in real life.

For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger cheating on Maria Shiver (https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/4lUAAOSw03lY6DgU/s-l1600.jpg) to go bang Mildred Baena (https://marriedbiography.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/225866_216588215032136_2607025_n.jpg)

Or, Mark Sanford cheating on his wife Jenny (https://images.gawker.com/182gsftgma5ssjpg/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800.jpg) to go bang María Belén Chapur (https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/090628-chapur-vsml-10p.jpg)

Florence Pugh is anything but ugly.

But photos I've seen of Jean Tatlock depict her as more attractive than Katherine Oppenheimer.

reply

That is my point: more attractive.

No man will cheat on pretty wife for ugly woman.

reply

Think about what you said. "no man will" do something. It is very foolish to say that, about any topic.

What is a man going to do if his pretty wife will not have sex with him? Some men will stray and it might hardly matter who they are cheating with.

reply

"will not have sex with him."

The problem is: it's not the case to Oppenheimer. I read his biography.

reply

Well remember when Arnold banged the maid? His wife was no Emily Blunt but the maid was no Florence Pugh.

reply

A testament to Arnold’s fearlessness.

reply

That's what I love about Arnie. Always pushing himself to the limit.

reply

that was more if a charity fuck, he probably liked that maid's personality and gave her a love child out of his own goodwill. Arnold is the best!!

reply

He gave her a love child because he forgot to wear a condom.

reply

forgot? nawwwww he just wanted to raw dog it that day 🤠

reply

Arnold fucks anything that moves.
That maid was just to keep his perfect score.

reply

Can we all just take a step back and appreciate the level of face palm, oh shit face, that Arnold must have made on the day he looked at Joseph and realized that his mistress had given birth to his clone.
And wasn’t she bringing him to work on occasion? Just imagine that, your mistress is bringing your clone-like son to work, which is your home, and you know for a fact that one day your wife is going to look out the window and see the toddler version of her husband running around the yard.

reply

He is still sorry about it, for the suffering that brought on his family, on Joseph and his mom.
I wonder how sorry is said mom.....

reply

I don’t doubt that he is. And that’s a good question, probably not very but I could be wrong.

reply

Ouch!

Pugh isn't that short, she's 5ft3 a perfectly average height for a woman and she's not fat. She's quite unfortunate in that she's very squat looking. Largely in part due to her big broad head.

reply

Looks like she comes from hardy, Old World stock; sturdy, built low to the ground. She’d make a great weed puller. She’s pretty easy on the eyes too.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Emily Blunt. She’s nice looking, and has some good angles, but on the whole there is something about her that’s a tad odd-looking.

reply

' I like Emily Blunt. She’s nice looking, and has some good angles, but on the whole there is something about her that’s a tad odd-looking.'

I know exactly what you mean. I find her attractive, but there's something 'unconventional' about her looks.

reply

5 ft 3? Yes it's fucking short! Even for a woman.

reply

According to an audiobook I just finished about him, Tatlock was Oppenheimer’s girlfriend who broke up with him before he ever met his wife. After getting married, he saw Tatlock one more time and spent the night with her. So yeah, he cheated on his wife with her, but she wasn’t his “mistress.”

reply

From wiki, It seem debateable:

While some historians believe that Oppenheimer had an extramarital affair with Tatlock while he was working on the Manhattan Project,[25] others assert he met with Tatlock only once after he was picked to head the Los Alamos Laboratory in mid-June 1943.

reply

yes u are right, bad casting choice...

reply

Men cheat for lots of reasons. Looks is just one of them.

reply

I didn't really know too much about Florence Pugh but having now seen some of the press stuff they've been up to, yeah, it's verging on non believable.
