But those women didn't get the movie roles. The reason doesn't matter. Stage acting and film acting are not synonymous.
I can never understand the vehemence towards highly respected actors. I get that you might not personally like someone's work, but why do people think that everyone else (those casting, those directing, those buying tickets, etc) is outright WRONG.
May we be struck down with no talents like Streep and Roberts for a long time to come.
Do I think they are the ONLY actresses that can do most of the movie roles they get? No, but I usually enjoy and respect their work.
I actually have high hopes for the film. MIGHT it prove to be a dog? Sure. But it might be wonderful. I'll keep an open mind.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
