It's less good to me now because a rapist is in one of the main roles. And the whole Mila Kunis being underage.
I actually think Mila Kunis is a good actress who hasn't had the opportunity to show it as often as she should.
Also, Ashton Kutcher might be my personal most annoying celebrity, from shitty comedies to shitty dramas to being a VC. He got a lot of praise for his human rights organization, but the numbers were overblown by #savethechildren chuds. And while he was doing that, he was co-owning and starring in a show with an alleged rapist. That and all the centrism and trying to launch a positive news network that stole stories from other sources. He just grates at me.
i feel like mila is very good in her lane but she’s had attempts at showing range in the past. they aren’t great.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a great performance and there's enough in Black Swan where I think she could shine in the right project.
Don’t remember what it was, but sometime in the last year I saw her in something that made me realize I’m actually not so much a fan of hers. She’s fine in Sarah Marshall but most of the cast still outshines her in it. Haven’t seen Black Swan in 11 years (jfc), gotta rewatch that sometime
she’s the weak link of black swan imo. i love her in FSM but it’s very much in the lane that she always works in. i wouldn’t call that performance showing range.
idk yeah I really like 70s Show but everyone tells me its trash so I just kindof believed them and chalked it up to nostalgia whatev Im not mad about it
I think range is hard to gauge. I always liked Aubrey Plaza but didn’t expect a performance like Black Bear out of her. For a lot of actors who get accused of having limited range, I think it has more to do with their project choices than capability.
love Mila in the show. its Donna that kinda isnt as funny as the rest of the cast imo. shes still good though. Kitty and Red are the stars of the show
i feel like aubrey has pretty much exclusively done stuff in the black bear lane since PnR, with the exception of happiest season haha. but fair point. i’m sure mila can. just haven’t seen anything to prove that yet.
I brought up Aubrey being sorta typecast in the Happiest Season thread and most people seemed to disagree haha. Looking through her IMDB, it would seem like that wasn’t the case, but yeah I would still argue that most people do not know her for roles like Legion that might indicate something like her role in Black Bear. She’s super talented and has a lot of range if given the opportunity.
Yeah before Black Bear I’d seen her in Parks & Rec, Mystery Team, The To-Do List, Scott Pilgrim, Funny People, Safety Not Guaranteed, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, and Happiest Season, so I missed some of the darker stuff she’d been in
Seen it twice! Definitely safe to say that by 2017 that was a black sheep in her filmography. Just a year prior she was doing Mike & Dave and Dirty Grandpa haha
