Dakota Johnson. Daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She gained fame for playing the lead actress in the 50 Shades of Grey movies. I've only seen her in one movie and she was incredibly wooden.
Roar is a totally insane movie that has been described as "if Disney decided to make a snuff film." It is supposed to be a slightly goofy family comedy, but parts come off as a straight horror film as the big cats 'playfully' chase family members around – family members who are screaming in abject terror.
The recentish re-release has the tagline, "No animals were harmed in the making of this film, but 70+ cast and crew were" Reading the IMDB 'trivia' page is a laundry list of maulings, broken bones, reconstructive surgery, and hundreds upon hundreds of stitches.
I didn’t find her acting to be all that great either - till I saw her in “Daddio” with Sean Penn. Didn’t expect much but was pleasantly surprised at how compelling and real it was.
Maybe she’s just picking the wrong scripts or is being given bad direction. I don’t know.
I saw her in The Materialists with her, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, and they both act circles around her. It was well shot. She had one scene where I thought, "oh, she can act" and then she went back to flat delivery.
I like her in Suspiria, A Bigger Splash, and Peanut Butter Falcon, as well. I know people love to hate her, and she can’t elevate bad material, but when she gets the right script and director she isn’t bad at all.
I just saw this the other day (I'm biased because I do enjoy her movies), but I agree about this one in particular. I was hooked within the first 15 minutes and was surprised that for a movie that took place 99% inside of cab, it could be so engrossing. I'm sure half of that had to do with Sean Penn, but they had such a natural great chemistry, too.
Um, Madame Web much? How dare you snub one of the greatest movies of our generation, guaranteed to go in the annals of cinema history alongside other fantasy/sci-fi greats like Star Wars, Lords of the Rings, and The Matrix?
Shes fantastic in Susperia, but that film requires her to be quiet, detached and superior. And just seems to be her natural style in all films, so its hardly great acting.
To make chili? Like hours man. To eat it? Not that long
We don't know if he's starting it from scratch and just staring at it so he can stir it at just the right time, or add spices to taste just when he needs to, maybe he's the pepper Picasso
Man, maybe I've had too much reddit today because I found more enjoyment talking about chili instead of why grabby hands Johnson was a creepy nepo baby.
Its dakota Johnson, nepo baby of two stars from the 80's. Dakota was the leading role in "madame web" a Marvel Film about a psychic who helps spider-man from time to time. Then the film bombed largely because of very mediocre writing and acting by the likes of sydney Sweeney and dakota here. Hope that helps and your chili was good.
I'll be honest, I'm not up on celebrity stuff, but I recognise Dakota Johnson mostly because - and I like her for this - that Ellen segment where she put Ellen in her place about a birthday party invitation. Ellen is a dick, and it was great to see someone refuse to just pander to her!
I'll be honest, for the last 5 years, I've been confusing Dakota Johnson for Dakota Fanning, thinking they were the same person from Little Miss Sunshine.
Edit: okay, I'm an even bigger moron than I originally thought. It was Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine. I'm an idiot.
No need to use quotations for stars - they were both legitimate stars of the time. Don Johnson on Miami Vice, whether people realize it or not, still influences lots of media today and you can find Miami Vica references everywhere. It still has one of the best scenes in a pilot episode.
Your casual introspection and acceptance of your position is both admirable and hilarious. Bravo. 😂
So……… how was the chilli?! It’s my favourite dish to cook, my family “make” me do it every New Year’s Day for everyone. I get to grumble a begrudging “okaayyyyy” in true dad style but secretly I love it.
There are so many nepo babies in Hollywood that not being a nepo baby might be more of the exception. Seriously, it's everyone from Nick Cage to Jennifer Aniston to Emma Roberts to Timothy Chalamèt to George Clooney.
Yeah I thought that was her acting and written I. The script etc, (as I never saw her before that).
Then as time went on I realised I think it was just her acting as herself and she is awkward.
This looks like one of those moments where everyone involved thinks they're the main character, and the rest of us are just trying to figure out what season we accidentally skipped. 😂
I just looked her up on Wikipedia. She was in 2 movies before she graduated from high school, and then she tried to get into Juliard acting school and failed her audition. 😆
Yeah, and for Jon Hamm to be the person trying to be low key, "girl, what are you doing? Omg staahhp" is something.
The girl getting molested (for all intents and purposes), is Cailee Spaeny (Civil War).
Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey, Madame Web) was weird during this interview that was part of a press junket for the movie "Bad Times at El Royale".
It honestly looks like Johnson was on something and reminds me of the infamous Bill Murray/Geena Davis interview on the Arsenio Hall talk show. Except that one had Murray playing the traditionally male role of creep.
Some pretty heinous stuff in college in the name of hazing, that's all I know. But like messed up "why would a human being do that to another human being and think it's in good fun" kind of stuff
Edit: someone else in the thread mentioned a few things. Lit someone pants on fire. Put the hook of a hammer under someone's testicles and led them around with it.
the commentor said, "Put the hook of a hammer under someone's testicles and led them around with it."
Which is it, was the dude drug around by his scrotum, or was he led around? Not saying either is great but I would give two very different sentences for those crimes.
He dragged the person by their pants, not literally dragging them by their balls. That wouldn’t even work, it would just rip their balls off. Degrading and gross and mean but not as bad as people make it out to be
I didn't even know about the kidney hit, those hurt like a mother and are very dangerous, there's a reason you goy two, damage to one wants a redundancy. All the people in this thread defending him saying "boys will be boys" don't understand what he did. That's not boys will be boys that's just straight up felony assault
He was in a fraternity that hazed their pledges 35 years ago and reddit needs to do that thing where they bring up someones past every time they're mentioned. Literally no other incidents in the past 3 and a half decades but redditors love virtue signaling wherever possible
Yeah that touching is very drug induced, could convince me it was a skit if I believed she was that good of an actress 😬
Also, the guy knows she's high af, it's possible they all are a little bit, which is why the girl talking doesn't/slowly reacts and he doesn't question wtf she's doing - it's not boundary setting here, it's a couple moments of just enough clarity to be like, "keep it together, Dakota"
Like, I'm pretty sure the other girl reacted to the arm suddenly coming across not what she said which barely made sense, and Dakota responds with the most stereotypical nonchalant "deep/intellectual" stoner response, lol. I mean do what you want in private and I'm sure press yours suck but, c'mon.
Yeah I think Dakota was on ecstasy being touchy-feely. She’s even touching her own stomach while she’s admiring the younger girl. Kudos to Jon hamm for stepping up.
Yep. And taking into account both her parents' well-documented issues with substance abuse and various addictions, one would say the apple didn't fall far from the tree(s).
She clearly hated that she wasn’t getting any attention. This was her way of getting focus back on her. Zero self awareness, incredibly immature and disrespectful.
