She's 28 now. Tick tock.
I was just reading about 3 old biddy actresses who were in a TV Show called Charlie's Angels. Old Biddy Jaclyn was 32 when cast, and Farrah was already an ancient 29 when cast, and baby biddy Kate was 27 when cast for the show.
Obviously, they were all superstars when they were first cast, and after being cast, they all drifted anonimously into obscurity, and nobody ever heard from them again, and the show never caught on.
Farrah was already an ancient 28 when filming Logan's Run, and then 32 for Saturn 3.
Maybe when Jodie gets a little older she'll be able to be in another Charlie's Angels incarnation.

I could not conjure where I recognized Taika Waititi from. I finally noticed he was writer/director of JoJo Rabbit, and he played Adolf Hitler in that film.
That is where I saw him before.
Also, Free Guy has been streaming for weeks now.

First off, Jodie is cute, but she's no Farah Fawcett.
Second, when a show becomes a hit, they're not going to immediately recast their stars two years later when they hit 30 and lose the entire audience. But had the show been started in 1981 instead of 1976, none of the leads that were in it would have been the leads in the 1981 show, as they would have been passed up for younger actresses.
Fast forward 20 or 30 years, and nobody would even consider hiring near-30 year old women to play those parts and you would have seen early to mid 20 year olds playing them instead just in case the show did pop off.
Farrah was one of those rare beauties that managed to maintain her sex appeal long after most other women do. I remember her rocking magazine covers well into her late 40's and still looking amazing. Jennifer Connelly is the only other actress that comes to my mind now that managed to pull that one off, although I'm sure there's a short list of others. And unless the cosmetic surgery industry starts making some real improvements, you're not going to see many more of them in the future doing it because so many women are getting bad treatments done WAY before they should even be doing them and they end up looking like stretch Pelosi by the time they're 50.
Jodie is EXTREMELY talented. I hope she gets a lot more roles now and becomes mainstream before she hits the wall. As long as she doesn't pigeonhole herself into any one thing, she already has an impressive list of diverse roles under her belt that new audiences of hers can look back upon and appreciate just how good of an actress she is.
She could be a Meryl Streep type and be one of the lucky few who keep getting good work until she's 80 years old if she wants it. I wish her the best of luck.
All that being said, although it was likely her biggest paycheck to date, Free Guy was beneath her. She was in Thirteen and Killing Eve. There's no way anybody could see both of those and then watch her in Free Guy and not feel like her talents were wasted there. She was perfectly adequate in the part and made the most of what she was given. But you could have given that role to any of the women in Spring Breakers or Sucker Punch and it wouldn't have detracted from the movie one single bit.
And at the same time, there's not a chance any one of the women in either of those movies could have done what Jodie did in Killing Eve.

You're saying Jodie didn't get fake boobs like Farrah? Well, obviously she is washed up now, like you said.
Obviously, 24 years later, 31 year old biddy Lucy Liu or 29 year old biddy Cameron Diaz or 25 year old biddy Drew Barrymore could have never been cast as Charlie's Angels - pulling them from the depths of obscurity into the spotlight.
oh wait....

Nope. Didn't say that.
Were they fake? Didn't know that if they were. It's not like they were monstrous or anything. I wasn't even aware they were doing boob jobs in the mid-70's if they were. Probably super unsafe.

Didn't say that either.

That was an existing IP. Are you really going to argue that Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore were unknown before that movie came out? Even I knew who Lucy Liu was before the movie, but back then I watched a lot of shitty movies like Shanghai Noon, and even caught some episodes of Ally McBeal back in the caveman days of channel surfing.

This movie was wacko daft silly, didn't watch much as it was a Noisy house but might try a re-watch only because there are no other films out and nothing on tv.

My old man loved it. I liked it. The 1st Act was so promising. I wish they went a different direction with it and it was more like Equalibrium/The Matrix rather than some Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts Rom-Com. I have to give it to them though, it's the most entertaining Rom-Com that I ever saw and it would have been a pleasure to see this with a girl in the theater in my 20's over every single one that I saw.
On a side note, I know you liked the Backrooms series that I posted in the other thread. Very early in this thread I posted some videos from independent creators "Viva La Dirt League" in a series called "Epic NPC Man". I know you've played video games in the past, but haven't played much new stuff. I'm kind of in that same boat too... The "newest" games I've played were on PS3/XBox 360, and only a handfull of them.
Have you played Dark Souls or Demon's Souls? If you haven't, you've probably heard about how punishingly difficult the series is. The first Dark Souls game still has a vibrant online community both in-game and in online forums like GameFaqs to this day, 11 years after its release.
That being said, Viva La Dirt League made two seasons of "Dark Souls Logic" which is just so good. They act out the part of the player avatar in the game, and are spot on with all of the trials that the new player has when first being introduced to the world.
I've been hoping for a Season 3 for a while now, but the last episode of Season 2 was so good that I'm okay if they never come back to it.
I know how much you hate YouTube, so maybe you can find it somewhere else, but I will post Season 1 and Season 2 here for you to check out. It cuts out all of the post-episode like and subscribe stuff and just jumps from one episode to the next.
