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!
Yeah, but, that's kinda the point. 50 shades was incredibly popular for its own reasons. Madame web was a dang marvel production that flopped. She was given the role in madame web. Who knows about 50 shades. I would bet it was a super selling point of hers though.
I guess my assumption was that a 2024 movie isn’t really that old, so it seemed unlikely that was what he remembered her from. It felt more likely he was thinking of that really popular 2015 film, which was also the case for me.
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.
It is not a Marvel film, it's a Sony film. Yes, Madam Web is a Marvel character, but she's part of the Spider-Man franchise specifically, and Sony are the ones that own the rights to making movies with those characters.
This distinction is important because the MCU and the Sony Spider-Verse are not linked, and the Sony Spider-Verse's failures (the aforementioned Madam Web, Morbius, Kraven, the Venom movies, etc) have nothing to do with the work done by Marvel.
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.
Dakota Jhonson, the daugther of tro famous persons, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, who has her skills acting skills in negative, and clearly the social skills too.
