Girl boss Olivia Wilde films herself begging abuser to stay on her directorial project

The absolute state of her PR.

I hate this cunt

Put this on one of the other 5000 Olivia Wilde threads.

[...]

CUNT!!! Everyone hates her!

BOOKSMART was just okay. And not nearly the feminist groundbreaker that the media desperately wanted it to be.

God, her resentful "Miss Flo" is truly something. Also she looks horrible.

It's hilarious on social media right now, watching people do a 180 after seeing this

What is the backstory here?

Miss Flo! ROFL.

This debacle has actually made me kind of like Florence Pugh. I don’t think she’s at all attractive or a great actress, but she seems vaguely professional compared to the rest of the circus.

She’s exhausting.

r9 Shia was meant to do this film, Don't Worry Darling, which Olivia was to direct. In an interview with Variety earlier this week, she suggested she fired Shia as a result of the FKA Twigs allegations. Shia has now proven that was utter bullshit, that he quit, and that she actually pleaded with him to come back, even insulting Florence Pugh in the process.

Thank you, R12. Was Shia going to play the character Harry Styles is playing?

What I cannot understand about people like this is that they KNOW the other person has proof that they're lying, yet they have the audacity to try.

Are they such narcissists or are they just stupid and deluded?

[quote]. Also she looks horrible.

Ohh puhleese, no makeup, harsh lighting and she's still attractive. Even a hater can acknowledge that without detracting from her bad character.

She really is full of herself.

r13 Yes

Sorry, R15, but Olivia Wilde is at best unattractive: a rag, a bone, and a hank of hair.

Jason is somewhere cackling.

She needs to STOP TALKING and go away for awhile. Where the fuck is her or the studio’s PR? Why is she being so monumentally stupid about this? Every time she opens her mouth or makes any move on social media, she fucks it up. She is making herself really unlikable and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jason Sudeikis or even this movie that has future flop written all over it.

This is one of the more clear cut cases of Hollywood self immolation we’ve seen lately, and there is just absolutely no reason for this to happen other than her total lack of self awareness or ability to self regulate her ridiculous behavior and mouth. Meanwhile, Sudeikis just says nothing and continues to win. Is she having a psychotic break? Wtf is going on with her?

It’s very clear what needs to happen here: break up with the dumbass pop star half your age since this relationship is absolutely doomed to the most public of failures, stop talking about Sudeikis in the press, in fact stop talking to ANYONE in the press, stop promoting the movie or talking about it, and get off social media. Why do these people never fucking learn? Unreal. She’s going straight down the shitter just like Meg Ryan, and we all know how that ended, justified or not. The public is extremely fickle. If they sense you’ve fucked with them and you’ve taken advantage of their largesse, they will snap you in half in seconds. Good will is earned and lost in a heartbeat. There are ways out of this and she’s scrupulously avoiding every single way to handle this well.

[quote] The public is extremely fickle. If they sense you’ve fucked with them and you’ve taken advantage of their largesse, they will snap you in half in seconds

Aren't you really talking about the DL? Wilde will be fine. She's only 10 years older than Styles and women like that. Lots of men like that too. No matter how disreputable that clip, her movies are feminist in message and that is sufficient. Serving her with papers on stage for custody, no matter how Jason spins it, was a dick move. The British will continue to embrace her because her family is famous and because she dumped an American for one of their own.

R22 Obvious schill.

^ Sure, if that makes you feel important.

R22 knows nothing about how this business operates. Lol.

so, she's like most of the women here, then?

She has fat legs and a stumpy, disproportionately small torso.

This is her [Bold]pimping for the walking skin tag[/Bold] coming back to bite her in her deformed ass.

I hate this freak.

Flo, she DO know

He has a lot more class than she does. He really seems like he is trying to make smart changes in his life. I hope he accomplishes change and can live a happy life. He had a really fucked up childhood. Shame on Olivia and anyone involved doing something like this to him or anyone else.

I'm convinced this chick is a sociopath.

He's an abuser.

R31, All the more reason for her to not have begged him to stay on the project and basically roll her eyes at the leading lady's reaction to him.

It's sort of fascinating that the role of the husband is said to be an abuser. Livvy went from Shia, perfectly cast, to Harry Styles, who was in way over his head. She must have been bummed out in the editing room.

Here we go.

OKY now WHAT is happening now ? I can't be bothered to watch, someone please tell me who's the villain and what this psycho is crying about? So that cunt, who by all accounts should be in jail with Guislaine, raves about Sudeikis's dick for years, then dumps him for that english twat who could be her son, and try to dodge custody proceedings in order to keep full custody of Carre and Otis or whatever her stupid names are, until Jason's people are forced to serve her on a public tour for one of her doomed projects, THEN she tries to compromise Labeouf for reasons best known to her sociopathic self, and she FILMS HERSELF BEGGING LABEOUF TO STAY IN HER MOVIE ? is that correct ? this is way too complicated;

[Quote] She’ll be doing greetings for us from the set of ‘Dune’

What does this mean? "Hello, I'm Florence Pugh of 'Don't Worry Darling,' in cinemas now. You're listening to KTL FM"

It sounds like the role would have fit Ezra Miller.

They should change the name of this film to "Darling, Worry."

This shit is going to go the way of Batgirl.

I hope she enjoys this ride, because it's her last, she's long overdue . she'll go down in flames like Hammer and Heard before her, and become a footnote in some HBO produced documentary

Is it being released on demand at the same time as a cinema release? I could see people throwing it some streams.

She wont have to dump Harry his management team will have her gone very quickly if she keeps this up. She's nuts.

She's not nuts. She's indiscreet, which is worse in Hollywood.

Team Jason all the way

That dye job isn't so hot, Jason.

r42 Though the problem for them is if he does, she's going to start shitting on him in public like she has been doing to Jason

I don't think even Olivia is stupid enough to try to shit on Harry. He has more powerful people in his corner. They would bury her.

r47 LOL okay

Harry has an army teenage girl fans, the most rabid kind. This bitch will never try to disparage him publicly unless she wants her career to truly be over.

I never liked her.

[quote]I don't think even Olivia is stupid enough to try to shit on Harry.

Oh, she WILL ! just you wait . She publicly humiliated her (unknown) italian prince husband in every interview, saying that she had divorced because "her vagina was dead", then she dragged poor stupid Jason, she a complete schizo, she will try to pull the feminist cards on Harry, accusing him of something heinous according to the MeeToo Manual of Imaginary Crimes and Offences.

Jason and Olivia are on a similar fame level, and they're both old by Hollywood standards. Harry Styles is a much bigger star.

R52 Jason has had a ton of success recently, what is Wilde known for, career wise ? I can't tell one film or TV show she's been in

R52 Jason has had a ton of success recently, what is Wilde known for, career wise ? I can't tell one film or TV show she's been in

I think Wilde was on HOUSE or one of those shows.

[quote] break up with the dumbass pop star half your age since this relationship is absolutely doomed to the most public of failures

THIS.

R50 = Jason's mum

Flo is such an ugly nickname lmao, and florence is built like a linebacker with a square shaped face. I so don't buy her as a dainty 50s housewife.

Connie Ford was a 50s housewife, no?

John Gavin's wife?

What a shitshow!

[quote]Harry has an army teenage girl fans, the most rabid kind. This bitch will never try to disparage him publicly unless she wants her career to truly be over.

They really are scary. When one of the other Directioners got hurt in a charity soccer match, the player who tackled him got death threats.

Olivia Wilde is surprised that she is the villain in her and Sudeikis’ breakup. She has even blamed sexism. No, sorry, but the person who breaks up their family to chase after a hot new partner, is always seen as the villain regardless of gender or sexuality.

I don't care for Olivia Wilde or Shia LaBeouf, but I don't like chunky pig, Florence Pugh either.

If she can’t keep her lies straight, perhaps she shouldn’t lie in the first place.

[...]

Lol, I bet she wishes she could rewind and delete her involvement in this movie.

Actually, she’s probably up her own ass and thinks she can salvage this and she didn’t do anything wrong. After the Venice film fest, I bet this movie quietly disappears. And she and Harry are done by a year from now.

After Venice, I predict she’ll ‘step away from the spotlight’ to ‘focus on herself and her family’ in a ‘time of healing’. Calling it now.

Fraus loathe her - the older ones think she’s an unstable fool following Harry Styles around on tour and making a scene every night dancing in the audience while her two children are god knows where and the younger gals think she’s some old hag who inexplicably seduced Harry Styles and are just waiting until he dumps her.

I’m not sure who her fan base is at this point.

And what kind of smug idiot didn’t think Shia would release that video? He’s reckless and violent - he’s not going to listen to her trash him and not speak up.

Florence is coming off quite well in all this. She seems rational and professional.

Was it a video she sent? Or was it a video call that Shia screen recorded?

R57 THIS. WHAT? This twat can't do math if he thinks a 30 year old man is half the age of a 40 year old woman? Yes I agree he is a stupid twat.

And before the jealous cunts come out and pretend that Olivia is ugly or old looking, save your Monkeypox diseased breath. Jason was head over heels for her because she's gorgeous.

The part of this shitshow I'm most interested in is what went down between Shia LaB and Florence Pugh. Do we know what set her against him or has that not come out yet? She has big 'head girl' energy and I wonder if that rubbed Shia, who gives every impression of liking his women meek and impressed with him, the wrong way.

[Quote] And before the jealous cunts come out and pretend that Olivia is ugly or old looking, save your Monkeypox diseased breath. Jason was head over heels for her because she's gorgeous.

Are you the same poster who's defending Olivia up and down LSA?

I expect Shia got physical in rehearsal for scenes like the Styles/Flo excerpt we've seen.

I can understand abusing her because she lied about Shia but this pathetic 'she's ugly, she's dating a man ten years younger' is ridiculous and does a disservice to keeping your hate pure.

But people here say Harry Styles is nothing to look at... Why are you so bothered about opinions on Olivia's looks?

No loser R74. I'm simply pointing out the lack of intelligence and obvious envy for Olivia. Most men would give their right nut to screw her. Jason is a good looking guy and is devastated she left him. She's not remotely ugly or old looking and it's obvious the insults are coming from femme queens.

Not true R75, Keep reaching. One of the reasons Shia gave up the role was due to the lack of rehearsal time.

What is going to hurt her the most is she was trying to come off as some kind of feminist hero in her narrative trashing Sudeikis. But then you have her lying about firing Shia when she was actively working to get a known abuser to star in her film (and throwing her lead actress under the bus). The white, liberal women she's trying to target aren't going to like that.

What's more amusing is discounting all of this, the movie looks horrible. The reviews out of Venice should be interesting.

R79 - yeah, because it's not like Shia has a reputation of being difficult to work with or abusive.

Oh, wait.

R78 = Harvey Weinstein

R69 and R70 nailed it.

She needs a 5-year “reflection” retreat.

[Quote] One of the reasons Shia gave up the role was due to the lack of rehearsal time.

Bless your heart.

Why is Olivia Cockburn not held accountable for he role(s) with Harvey Weinstein. She was his Ghislaine.

The feminist lies she spouts are utterly loathsome in this light.

Most DLers don't believe any women were victims of Weinstein, they think those women willingly traded sex for parts. Why would we had hold her accountable for providing women for a perfectly legal exchange? If she did, in fact, do that

R59 Pretty sure in the 1950s wives also came in different shapes, except morbidly obese, which Florence Pugh thankfully isn't.

Remember Pearl Kelton?

Funny enough, cock burn is a symptom you have after sleeping with her.

[quote] Why would we had hold her accountable for providing women for a perfectly legal exchange? If she did, in fact, do that

Disagree. YOU may think that there was a fair trade going on between Weinstein and women, but juries and courts of law disagree.

That said, Cockburn has just revealed herself to be a liar in a rather spectacular way. Procuring press and her actors - as a director - under false pretences. It would not be such a stretch to see COCKBURN doing the same thing for attractive young girls who might have not known how deceitful and pathological Weinstein could be. Not everyone was a celebrity or on the power-equivalent scale who interacted with Harvey. (Even established actresses found him daunting.)

Capice, R86?

Fuck this ho, this ho lied on Shia. Die in a blockbuster grease fire.

Funny enough, blockbuster grease fire is what her film is about to be when it’s released.

[quote] After Venice, I predict she’ll ‘step away from the spotlight’ to ‘focus on herself and her family’ in a ‘time of healing’. Calling it now.

r69 She's already doing that. She was supposed to direct a movie about Kerri Strug but said she's had to drop out because she wants to be at home with her kids. I'm sure that's it and not that studio execs have seen the film and all the bad behind-the-scenes gossip and decided to drop her. Definitely not that!

R70 "I’m not sure who her fan base is at this point." - I think most of her fanbase are feminists in their 30s. Either because they liked Booksmart and buy her feminist shtick or because they are Harry Styles stans around her age and living vicariously through her. Basically if Harry gets with a divorced woman with two kids, who is 10 years older than him, then they feel they have a chance as well, so they like her for making that dream possible.

The problem is if she and Harry break up and she might dish on stuff, then the latter half of her fan base will turn against her. As someone here said, Harry has a well oiled marketing machine behind him, his manager has some influence and his fangirls are devoted. However considering that he's overhyped and overexposed right now and even a 20 second clip of the movie with okay-ish acting and a weird accent got him a public beating, chips might fall on both sides.

Maybe her next movie should be a documentary of Styles' tour.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but the trailer looks interesting.

R73 Someone on deuxmoi said he punched a wall because he didn't like the lighting on set. Who knows. Even before the abuse allegations (because the movie was filmed before the whole FKA Twig thing went down publicly) he had a reputation for being "difficult" to work with aka he was a cunt with an ego and a substance abuse problem. I still think he has an ego and a few screws loose, but he seems to have channeled that into less destructive behaviour, so good for him and the people around him.

R95 She could do a movie of the making of DWD. Everyone plays themselves.

I have no idea what's happening here or why anyone cares.

Is "Miss Flo" what she calls her period?

HA! I remember all the positive press she got for saying her sets have a "no assholes" policy.

Flo could play Keri.

Her parents.

R103 She has her mother's features on her father's bone structure.

Her parents are about 100 times more intelligent than she is.

Her grandfather's second wife was Isherwood's real-life Sally Bowles, Jean Ross. Their child was the barrister and mystery writer, Sarah Caudwell.

[quote] She wont have to dump Harry his management team will have her gone very quickly if she keeps this up. She's nuts.

Great, she's going to leave Hollywood and become a singer singing about her exes, like Olivia Rodrigo, Adele, and Taylor Swift (who happens to be one of Harry Style's ex-girlfriend or "ex girlfriend" since that PR relationship ended pretty badly).

[quote] Sorry, [R15], but Olivia Wilde is at best unattractive: a rag, a bone, and a hank of hair.

This is complete horseshit of course and everyone knows it. Like so many beautiful women, Wilde is a black hole. Beautiful women are treated like princesses, and they are never “consequenced” for their bad behavior, so it keeps getting worse and worse.

Is Miss Flo a reference to her menstruating?

Bitches, man.

Lol Giada's evil skinny twin has her comeuppance. Her mom is a second generation shipping heiress billionaire- she'll be famous for as long as she can pay for it.

Giada?

Harry’s acting looks terrible. Poor Miss Flo.

Giada de Laurentiis? Odd reference but I know it, strangely

Her next directorial endeavor is working on a feminist Harry Potter spin off:

Hermione Granger and the MeToo Manual of Imaginary Crimes and Offences.

She's got the Angela Jolie lighbulb head thing going on.

This is all deliberately calculated PR to distract from Harry's shit acting and get more people to see this movie. He has two movies (both set in the 1950's where he keeps secrets from his wife) coming out this fall.

Yes Giada De Laurentis was the comparison (yet even she knew her lane), and please cut this Olivia is beautiful shit out- if she actually was beautiful, instead of a large jawed, angular nightmare, her huge push from Harvey and Vanity Fair (for whom her mom "works") would have succeeded.

She makes Gwyneth Paltrow look meritorious, which is jarring. Like her face.

Guess what? Wanting to be a movie star doesn't mean you get to be one. No matter how much money and media support you: audiences still have to want to watch you.

Displeasing someone or making enemies in Hollywood is extremely easy.

You're practically walking in 12" stiletto heels on thin ice covered in egg shells at all times. No wonder 99% of all celebs are mentally unstable drugged up messes.

Harry and Olivia have clearly slighted or pissed someone higher up in the fame hierarchy off like Ezra did.

R119, who produces what they sell? Olivia's cousin produces Gavin Newsom's wife's nonsense documentaries.

She's fine.

It seems pretty clear that Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh do not like each other, despite Olivia's pathetic, treacly posts she made about working with her on social media (which Pugh did not acknowledge). I know a lot of people on here don't like Pugh, but she does seem like a genuinely no-nonsense person, so it's surprising that she would be able to see right through Wilde's phony and cunty behavior. I have to wonder if she was aware of the bitchy "Miss Flo" video Wilde sent to Shia LaBeouf before it went public.

*meant NOT surprising that Pugh would be able to see through Wilde

I’m sick of people saying “it’s a calculated PR move” about everything that happens, like when Charlie Sheen went off the rails people were saying it’s a deliberate PR for his sitcom. Face it, these people cannot calculate for more than two steps ahead, and even then it backfires.

Just curious why is Miss Flo. not liked? And particularly why some are not a fan of her acting.

I was really blown away by her performances in Lady Macbeth & Midsommar..

I am just wondering what you (plural) didn’t like about her acting

In the meantime, I googled OW to see her weird shape (someone mentioned) and had a good cackle over this article from January. Well she had 8 months of her best life at least.

r124, we don't like Miss Flo because she has no neck and it's disturbing to see that outside of a carnival midway.

R124 most of the vitriol hurled at Florence here has to do with her appearance, as R125 has demonstrated. I think she is a good actress too, and she can look good with the right styling.

"The Future Is Female Ejaculation"

I have friends that worked on House when she was on the show. They’re laughing at her comeuppance. Should give you an idea of what kind of person she is if the video and general hypocrisy didn’t.

R127 The way she wore that shirt to set shortly after she cheated on her partner with the lead actor of the film. It's a choice.

R129 was she trying to say that Harry made her squirt?

I've always thought Shia was a major fucking asshole, but I have to say his email to her in the Variety article was considered and well-written. Still an asshole though. I think she's pretentious and has the squarest head in Hollywood.

R131 not only square, but zombie-adjacent with that sunken face. She appears dead behind the eyes, with bad skin and a corpselike visage to match. She looks like she walked off the set of "Return of the Living Dead".

Olivia is a walking, talking, narcissistic shitstorm of contradictions. She will say whatever is necessary to make her look good—posing as some revelatory feminist while sucking up to (and sucking on) Harvey Weinstein and god knows who else, and throwing shade at the female star of her movie while begging the likes of Shia LaBeouf to remain committed to the project (and then blatantly lying and claiming that she had to fire him because he's "combative"—which is probably true, but she is still lying). Like most of these cunts, her actions speak louder than her words. She is a "feminist" only to the extent that it furthers her career and earns her the approval of the public and her echo chamber of #girlboss compatriots. She's more than proven herself to be deceitful and dishonorable—so of course she fits right in with her Hollywood pals.

Will Harry stay with her now? He seems obsessed with his image and being perceived as “the nice guy”.

R134 I'm sure an "amicable breakup" is on the horizon

Hey all you fruits. Leave my gal alone.

Wilde is probably right about Sudeikis to an extent, because he clearly had no problem with being married to someone who behaves this way, which doesn't make him look great. But she's so bad at lying and is so unappealing that people assume she's evil and he's a victim, or that when he acts like a dick, she deserves it so it's excused.

I very much suspect they are both terrible people. This is John Mulaney and Olivia Munn in 5 years.

“I changed my name as an homage to Oscar Wilde. Not because it’s Cockburn and brings to mind a venereal disease”.

I found Olivia delightful to work with in Dead Fall.

Her PR team has scrubbed her more recent Instagram posts (specifically the ones regarding Don't Worry Darling), leaving only 4-5 laudatory comments on each from her vapid friends, and disabling any public comments. Hilarious.

Well, that's just PR 101 these days, r140. When you have a client who can't keep their big bazoo shut, you have a little checklist of things to do after the fact to try to minimize the damage.

Her team must be praying for a miscarriage or a cancer diagnosis right about now. Not much else is gonna cut it to get her out of this mess. And I don't even want to think about the freakout in Harry's camp, there's probably transitioning talk being had as I type.

Olivia Wilde, gotta love that gal. And Florence Pugh? What an ungrateful little cunt she is!

Where the Crawfords Sing

I am anxiously awaiting the inevitable think-piece paid for by Wilde’s team about how all criticism of her is rooted in the misogyny of Hollywood

[quote] HA! I remember all the positive press she got for saying her sets have a "no assholes" policy.

She was the asshole.

Wilde gets a bad rep, because she is an ambitious, backstabbing opportunist. Florence Pugh probably sees her for what she is, because "it takes one to know one".

There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but people don't look kindly on backstabbers who only use others to climb up the social or career ladder. In the past that was swept under the rug, but with social media, #MeToo, #TimesUp, etc. people can share their grievances and distaste for others in the business.

[quote] HA! I remember all the positive press she got for saying her sets have a "no assholes" policy.

[quote] She was the asshole.

How very unkind of her.

R147 I genuinely don’t think Florence is a backstabbing opportunist though. There’s really no evidence for it. Olivia, on the other hand? Plenty. Having an aptitude for smelling bullshit doesn’t necessarily reflect one’s character—it can simply mean they are a keen observer who is able to read a situation.

Shitza LaQueef has been a piece of garbage since the beginning of his career. It’s nearly impossible to make Shitza look like a sympathetic human being, and yet the execrable Olivia Wilde somehow managed to do it. Congrats on pulling off the impossible!

Love it how his letter admitted he is persona non-grata & what he did to FKA Twigz was horrible but don’t [you] dare tell people that he was fired for scaring Florence when he quit.

fwiw, historically the deux moi posts about Florence always claim she is very down to earth and kind.

The deux moi posts about Olivia are usually spottings of her at Harry Styles shows singing along and dancing in the audience like a maniac (someone recently said her moves appeared choreographed).

Isn’t it the same show every night? Wouldn’t it get exhausting going to stadium concerts multiple times a week and dancing out in the VIP section in public where people are all noticing? I would think one would just hang out backstage at a certain point or skip the show all together and wait at the hotel. I can’t imagine styles is demanding she show up.

The woke mob are already losing their minds about the possibility that this fiasco will rehab Shia LaBeouf’s image. Whether he is a gross person or not (he is), he still has every right to speak up for himself when someone is misrepresenting something —or in this case, flat out lying—about him. Especially so when he has proof of it. Olivia is likely your run-of-the-mill pathological liar who tells so many of them that she can’t possibly keep track of her own distorted narrative. I am assuming she forgot she recorded the video in question given the claims she made about firing him; either that, or she is just insufferably stupid. Perhaps both.

[quote]The woke mob are already losing their minds about the possibility that this fiasco will rehab Shia LaBeouf’s image

That's because they're morons who think everything has to be reduced to taking sides. So if you believe Shia - and how can you not when there's video evidence and both WB and Wilde's PR have admitted he's right - they claim you're taking his side. When of course any sane person can see that's bullshit

Shia gladly abused women for years and probably is abusing his current partner. He is being faux humble because his bank account was being affected.

Well it all worked out for the best. Harry's younger, prettier (when his ink is pancaked over), and a shit-load slimmer than Shia.

Fat pug faced pugh was fan girling over starring in a movie with Shia and calling olivia her idol (wtf) before this movie went into production. She's fake as shit like the rest of Hollywood.

MISS FLO lmao

"no assholes policy on set"

Assholes plural. You're allowed to have one.

Her boobs look like dog noses

I miss the days when actors changed their names to make themselves more marketable, Pugh is such a disconcerting name.

R161, you are not from Philadelphia, I take it?

r161 They became emboldened after someone named Trump got elected president.

She must be on drugs. In addition to lying about Shia and throwing Florence under the bus, she gave an interview basically calling Jason Sudeikus an asshole.

She’s not on drugs. She’s smug, pretty, comes from money and has zero humility. If people don’t do exactly what she wants - ie Jason, Florence - the side swipes begin.

[quote] and on TOP of that don’t worry darling was filmed outside in the dead of summer when olivia wilde knows florence has sensitive british skin and burns easily

💀

She has zero charm or allure to her. Her 15 minutes are up. Hopefully her boyfriend can disappear into the void along with her.

I hate her more now. What a phony cunt!

[quote]She must be on drugs. In addition to lying about Shia and throwing Florence under the bus, she gave an interview basically calling Jason Sudeikus an asshole.

She was so utterly smug in that interview. It's hilarious how it all blew up in her face only a day later. Somewhere Jason must be giggling.

This is all Simon Cowbell’s fault. If he had created that crappy boy band, no one would care.

If she’s such an asshole as she appears Harry is going to look like an asshole for dating her.

The video that leaked of her talking to Shia is proof she’s a social engineer who can adjust her personality at the flip of a switch in order to draw people in. Harry better pay attention.

See, I CAN act!

Why is she a star? I know she was on The OC and House but those were both ages ago.

[quote] I miss the days when actors changed their names to make themselves more marketable, Pugh is such a disconcerting name.

Her brother Toby Sebastian-who was on GAME OF THRONES- inverted his first and middle name to use as his professional surname.

Nooooooo not muh heckinrinooooo featurinoooooo!!!

First mistake. Never hire Shia Labeouf for anything. He's crazy.

He's like an insecure, genius type who sees nothing special about himself so goes to great lengths to be different and make an impact to the point he crosses normal boundaries.

He should write, star in, produce and work on his own movies. He does not get along well with others.

Some are saying this movie was an audition for Shia to be holivias new pr relationship, but since that didn't work she latched on to harry.

I'll never forget that picture of this whore cuddling up to Harvey Weinstein at a basketball game.

This isn't even the first time she's been caught in a huge lie. Remember "Richard Jewell"? She defended what many said was an inaccurate, character-assasinating portrayal of dead reporter Kathy Scruggs (the film portayed her as fucking her sources) with "How dare you slut shame?". Then she said she met with Kathy's family for research, then Kathy's relatives said they never once met with Wilde.

R179 Better at a basketball game than in a hotel room, that says to me she was one smart girl who knew how to protect herself.

R172 = Harry is just as phony as she is.

r180. Why do actors say things like that? It's like the time Brad Pitt said he met Frank Gehry and Mr. Gehry denied ever meeting him!

r179 you think the cuddling only happened at the game? Bless your heart.

I can't believe there's so many responses about this. I can't imagine more boring people. Really quite surprised there's anything at all to say about them.

When Broadway singer Liz Callaway met Meg Ryan at the premier of Anastasia, Callaway introduced herself to Ryan as the singing voice of the character Ryan played. Ryan replied that she told everyone that she did her own singing. Ryan then walked away without another word.

[Quote] Isn’t it the same show every night? Wouldn’t it get exhausting going to stadium concerts multiple times a week and dancing out in the VIP section in public where people are all noticing?

She attends the shows to keep an eye on Styles. Performers often pick out groupies for after the show while they're on stage.

Why is everyone pretending like Florence Pugh is the second coming of Vivien fucking Leigh? She’s a shitty, affected Gen Z actress.

I don't think Shia ever met Miss Flo, as the phone call was in covid 2020. Meanwhile, Mr. Styles just announced 123,539 new tour dates effective moments after the Venice premiere. Bye babe.

Basically the fake relationship contract is up after Venice, she's a liability for his image and he won't have some beard tarnish his reputation.

^Olivia Cockburn’s PR is ON IT, folks, after this disgusting debacle. PR 101: minimization. It is all about the....yawn.

Harry is not fucking that dried up pussy

I saw a recent quote from Styles claiming that movies would only be an occasional pursuit... I presume his team prepped him to say that as they've seen both of his upcoming movies...

Cockburn is working from the same playbook as Monster Markle, just with more connections and a teeny bit more talent.

I don't care about her, Harry styles, and Florence Pugh, and Shia Labeouf put together. I've seen the video of Jason stark naked in his dorm fooling around with his team mates some years ago before it was scrapped from the internet, and it's something you can NEVER unsee. That man is not "hung" , he's DEFORMED.

Of course, there are tons of responses. There are some gay men on DL who are just foaming at the mouth when they get to trash a woman. Bonus points when she is an attractive cockblocker! Shia, who is a REAL piece of shit, doesn’t get half of the venom reserved for Wilde. The DL misogynists are having a wank fest.

Attractive? Her features are a lot...

^Thank you for stopping by, Olivia.

R196 goes blind whenever DL is constantly tearing apart any and all men. Her deranged antenna goes up if every woman is not worshipped without question. Please fuck off, you stupid fuckwad.

It's not every woman. Some troll has a thing for Olivia Wilde.

PR 102: Victim Blaming (taken from the SS book of cries of racism, misogyny, et al. )

Cockburn is a Victim! Of misogyny! She’s a Weinstein procu...,er...feminist!

When Shia shook Twigs once all women were absolved of any accountability for any of their actions, ever!

Stupid. Even Shia admits giving STIs without so much as heads up. Twigs had kiss him x amounts of time a day. She couldn't make eye contact with servers. He's repellant.

r195 What the hell are you talking about?

R175 Damn her brother is hot, yet she looks like a pudgy gnome.

Get away from her, you bitch!

R204 I'm talking about Jason Sudeikis's dick, it's giganormous, it's a third leg, and it's the only subject of importance in all this pointless drama

R201: nice try to deflect from your seething hatred of women. My point is that Shia who is a worse pos than Wilde, receives way less hatred and women. If it has a dick, we will acquit.

As far as I am concerned, they are all a bunch of medium talent assholes but the obsession with Wilde is puzzling.

R152 if that is true of Wilde, she is more pathetic than I thought.

[quote] [R201]: nice try to deflect from your seething hatred of women

Well, R208, you’re wayyyyyyy off base here.

Don’t hate women, because I am one. I do, though, know women (like men), can be abhorrent on the sly. Cockburn is one such woman. So her being rightfully called out (when she has no compunction to do so to others: her husband, another WOMAN and Shia) is poetic justice.

Cockburn is no female advocate, so you shilling for her on a gay board is mighty rich. You are either Cockburn, herself, or part of her team.

Do better, R208, and don’t minimize Cockburn’s actions by deflecting to someone else who has their own issues. Full stop.

Agreed R205, Miss Flo's brother is hot. I read that they were raised in Spain, which makes me wonder if one of their parents is Spanish. Her certainly looks it. She does a little bit too, but him more so.

This

Monkey business

Both Flo and To Pugh need careful photographing when it comes to their noses.

Flo has Judy body.

R214 I think his nose looks fine. She has a similar face structure, but the features are not very "delicate" so she can look kind of masculine if she's not done up/photographed right.

[quote] There was a noticeable tension between Ms. Garner, wearing a hip-hugging red dress, and Ms. Wilde, in a flowing green gown: the two never posed together for pictures, sat at opposite tables all night, and didn’t so much as look at each other, while their publicists hovered by their clients’ arms, shooting wary eye-daggers in each other’s general direction.

Olivia Cockburn is not a friend to women; despite her attempts to appear so. The “Miss Flo” is not a hiccup but a long-standing issue with fellow females in the biz.

[quote] My point is that Shia who is a worse pos than Wilde, receives way less hatred and women. If it has a dick, we will acquit.

And none of that has to do with the price of rice in China and no one is saying Shia is a great guy or isn't a scum bag.

None of that excuses Olivia:

- Hiring Shia when she knew he was problematic.

- Throwing Florence under the bus and blaming her for their issues that she'll have to just "get over."

- Lying about whether or not she fired him or he left the production.

- Hiring a performer, who isn't a great actor, then fucking him while they're working together and she's his director.

And that's ignoring anything going on with her, Jason, their divorce, etc.

R210: people who say “ do better” should fuck off. Also, what’s with the hall monitoring?

Shia and Sudeikis are both manipulative assholes with anger issues (Sudeikis just has better PR). Wilde has no taste and no sense to first get involved with either in any capacity, and then try to out-maneuver them. (Shia faux-humble letter to her was gross, though.)

Flo seems like an excellent actress and better yet, knows the value of keeping her mouth shut and letting her enemies bring disaster upon themselves. Wilde could learn a lesson from that strategy.

Florence is saying she grew up in Spain? Are we sure she’s not pulling a Hilaria?

[Quote] Shia and Sudeikis are both manipulative assholes

What about Harold?

Jason is a comic so you know he's nasty as shit.

I don’t know what the deal is with Harold, R222. He doesn’t seem to have an anger problem. As a pop star it’s 99% likely he’s manipulative. But he doesn’t seem very smart and scheming. Maybe Olivia was looking for someone she can outplay on that score.

R21 according to her Wikipedia,:

[quote]She suffered from tracheomalacia as a child, which led to frequent hospitalisations. The family relocated to Sotogrande in Spain when Pugh was three years old, hoping the warmer weather would improve her health. They lived there until she was six, at which point they moved back to Oxford.

She wasn't there long if this is true, though her elder siblings would probably have more memory of living there since it would have been in their formative years. Toby does look like he could be Spanish; however, if we're to believe Google, Flo is of Irish ancestry, which could also explain Toby's looks (there are a lot of Irish men with a similar look to him--they're colloquially known as "Black Irish").

meant R221

I hope this ho is ruined for life for her public witch hunt. What an incredulous cunt.

r207 Only in DL fantasies. At least show me any bulge pics if they even exist.

R228 I don't have to PROVE anything to you, just try and find the video, or a caption, like anyone else

Hush. Post it or fuck off.

You both fuck off. This thread is tired of yall drama.

R230 YOU fuck off. you're insane. get some help

R232, now now. Temper temper. Why let him get the best of you?

Thanks R233, the attack was so random and unmotivated it caught me unguarded. This is the kind attracted by Miss Wilde. Pffiiiou

Post evidence of Sudeikis' supposedly hose hung dick or stop presenting your AWG fantasies as fact.

And she's going on and on see ? I feel like an elederly new-yorker shoved by some nutcase here. So racist and random

The only huge bulge Sudeikis has is his stomach. Hence why Wilde's vagina died (again).

It’s true R209. Check Twitter and you’ll see her at his shows in the US and in Europe. It’s like she doesn’t trust him or something.

Olivia at his show in Toronto

Acting the fool last October

Why is someone bringing race into a thread where all the participants are white?

[quote]Post evidence of Sudeikis' supposedly hose hung dick or stop presenting your AWG fantasies as fact.

When Wilde's nudes were leaked during The Fappening I was disappointed that the only Sudeikis content that came out of it was the two of them chatting in bed.

OOOh I see R237 is wiping from back to front. She's one of our dear unwanted guests, and she's been "triggered " by some random comment on Miss Wilde. She's now on her revenge cruisade, totally tone deaf and deadly serious. Can you imagine how socially awkward she must be IRL ?

I thought it was similarly strange that Zac Efron's nudity was only PG in his gf's Fappening leaks.

You're doing too much r243.

Oh, gosh! You girls keep me young!

Ok all this hate spewed on this woman. I don't know her. She was on House? She directed Booksmart (the movie was cute enough). Personal life a little messy. I saw her in a single film, Meadowland, and she impressed me. I don't care about her looks. This Shia video makes her look like a real dumb bitch but whatever. Who would want to work with him? I'm sure Flo leveraged what she had not to have to and good for her.

I dislike OW but this thread has been invaded by a bunch of Harry fangirls who hate Olivia for being with him. Average age = 12.

The video made it seem like Shia complained to Olivia that Flo wasn’t working enough or in the way that Shia wanted. Maybe because Shia acted like an asshole, like he usually does. And Olivia was trying to assuage his whining, which probably goes on with stars quite a lot, it’s just that we don’t see it this clearly and on video.

I’m a Larry shipper, a Larry believer if you will.

Someone on LSA conjectured that Flo may have had Covid concerns.

R250 = exhibit A

R249 Yeah Olivia is placating him and on the other end Flo certainly wasn't caving to anything Shia, was probably repulsed

Harry is meant to be with Louis, you Ancient White Fags!!!!

Hush, White Canadian!

R157 she probably admired her from afar and only realized what a cunt she is when she started working with her one on one.

What about those perversely kiss assy emails they send each other? Does Soderbergh talk to Riley Keough like that?

Women named Flo are messy.

When the Sony hack happened, it exposed an enormous amount of this kind of ass kissery.

The nice part about all this is that she’s becoming the equivalent of a reality star with all this attention, so we won’t have to see her in a mainstream feature film within a few years. I loathe her, since before the Styles relationship. She just has bad vibes.

Is this movie going to overshadow My Policeman?

Harry ‘s rumored longtime friend with benefits Xander Ritz was at a recent NY show with Olivia.

Snub nose. I must add him to the "... Look Like Nanette Fabray" thread.

"There was friction between us from the beginning," Baldwin told Vulture in an interview. "LaBeouf seems to carry with him, to put it mildly, a jailhouse mentality wherever he goes."

[quote] "There was friction between us from the beginning," Baldwin told Vulture in an interview. "LaBeouf seems to carry with him, to put it mildly, a jailhouse mentality wherever he goes."

I remember those emails from that debacle. Too method acting assholes bumping heads.

R249 Exactly what I thought. Finessing egoistic actors. It's all a fluff game.

Enough of this shit. Is the goddamned film any good? It sounds like it COULD be a decent thriller..

It’s unlikely to elicit any snaps R267.

It is said to be Stepford Wives knockoff set in the 1950s and 2050.

R264, well sounds like Olivia ......

Dodged a bullet.

Based on what Alec Baldwin said R270?

She’s obviously a very weak director who can’t get control of her actors, this has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with her being ineffective leader, which I think she makes patently clear in those selfie diatribe videos. Leni Riefenstahl had no trouble being in charge of her films and she was doing it under Nazi duress.

Betty Box too.

Alec calling people "jailhouse mentality" is rich.

R29 Class? Isn't he the guy that shot stray dogs at night? Fuck him and fuck her. And fuck you too.

R160 Is this your first time seeing lady's breasts?

A short time after that R264, Baldwin assaulted another photographer. While there is no doubt both men have anger issues, Baldwin’s not the one to cite.

Just another excuse for Alec to FEEL a man's ass crack

It shows Shia's a chore to work with, R277. Even fellow hot-head Alec couldn't stand him. I wonder why OW wanted that energy on her set - unless she thought there was more to gain via an ongoing 'relationship' with him. Styles was probably happy enough to be cast and willing to do a few pap strolls as part of the deal.

r265, quick: define what a "sensory object" is. Don't talk about shit you know *nothing* about.

So Cockburn's hot vag wasn't enough to jolt an exciting performance out of Styles. I take it?

R248 stfu you stankin ass bitch. There are no 12 yr olds on DL.

I feel like this whole mess will become a case study in every PR/management class going forward, and the cautionary tale every publicist, manager, agent, studio exec et al. will point to for their clients.

[quote]”Not because it’s Cockburn and brings to mind a venereal disease”.

Maybe in America. It’s a well-known name in the UK.

That self congratulatory Variety article really backfired huh

Article from Matt Belloni at Puck, looking at what a fuck up this is. Key bits:

[quote]I’ve now talked to a few people who worked on the movie, and there are stories of Wilde’s ego and punishing demeanor. Honestly, I’m reluctant to pass along those comments if they aren’t on the record. Directors often elicit strong feelings, and managing a film shoot necessarily entails the kinds of hard decisions that generate enemies. Plus, criticism of a female director plays into stereotypes of women in power, and, let’s be real, Wilde is hardly the first director to run a tough shoot, or to begin a romance with a star, or to anger the leading lady of the film. That list is long and distinguished.

[quote]Having said that… Her relationship with Styles during the shoot was pretty obvious and annoying to the three people I spoke to, and the duo were sometimes tough to find during set-ups of shots. Pugh in particular was angered by the absences, according to these sources, and one source personally witnessed a tense conversation about this issue between the two. It doesn’t seem like a great environment.

[quote]But remember, this movie shot in the fall and winter of 2020-21, an incredibly difficult time. Darling was one of the first Warners movies to start after the Covid shutdowns. As such, Wilde would often hold meetings preaching Covid safety and asking cast and crew to avoid large gatherings, especially around the holidays. Then she and Styles appeared together at the early January wedding of Jeffrey Azoff, Styles’ manager, at San Ysidro Ranch. Some on the crew took that as a sign that the safety rules Wilde preached didn’t apply to her and Styles.

Oh and apparently she's done a Vanity Fair interview which is still to come, and Shia has more stuff to release

r186 That's probably the most interesting thing that's ever happened to Liz.

Is it pronounced Coburn?

[quote]Maybe in America. It’s a well-known name in the UK

I lived in London for 2 years and never heard of anyone with that last name

[quote] Class? Isn't he the guy that shot stray dogs at night? Fuck him and fuck her. And fuck you too.

He handled this better than she did. I'm sorry you refuse to accept the truth. She's an idiot who told a big fat lie. Instead of working on this film she was too busy cheating on her fiancée' and getting some dick from an employee

I'm not the one who hired Shia. The Queen of bad decisions did. I'm not the one who told a patently false lie. The ridiculously bad liar, did. She's a jackass, just like you

So Olivia is still mum on this, I take it? I presume her PR team has her mouth duct-taped and her hands cuffed

It'll blow over. But if this movie is a massive failure, her cuntiness will be brought up again.

There’s supposedly a Vanity Fair article pending, so who knows how much gasoline that will add to the fire. I hope for her there’s a press embargo in-place until the film is released in late September. As it stands now, there’s blood in the water and the sharks have no choice but to feast!

Millennial women seem to have conflated unapologetic narcissism with brave ambition. It's very fascinating watching this group of celebrities turn 40 and absolutely batshit insane, with no self awareness. OR are their PR agents letting them go wild so they make more money cleaning up the messes? Is this a PR money-making strategy?

R295, very astute comment. Well said.

Where's the insanity? Wilde has demonstrated that she's an opportunist, not unhinged.

R297, it feels unhinged to follow fool Harry Styles around on tour at 40 years old and dance in the audience when you have 2 young children at home.

That might not be insane, but it feels like unstable behavior.

It seems that Shia releasing that video to Variety finally convinced her to shut the fuck up R292. He did her a favor. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Who is watching the children R298 ? Won’t someone think of the children?

Leaving young kids to the nannies hardly says unstable. I'd do the same if I ever got lumbered with kids.

[quote]r70 Florence is coming off quite well in all this. She seems rational and professional.

She’s also adorable.

"Flo seems like an excellent actress and better yet, knows the value of keeping her mouth shut and letting her enemies bring disaster upon themselves."

The Chris Rock Strategy! He's said nothing, leaving his enemies to desperately flounder around trying to make themselves look good, when it couldn't be done.

And seriously,Wilde was a fool not to have done the same. Her best bet would have been to shut her mouth the second she was starting to become a target, and start leaking shit on LaBeouf to the press, LOTS of shit on him. The bad stories are there, the guy has been one step from machine-gunning a McDonalds for years, and that's how things have been done for years - you throw someone expendable to the wolves of the press to save your star, or your film. Then not only is someone else being ripped to shreds by the Court of Public Opinion (vicious gossips), but the wolves of the press owe you favors...

There’s a great crisis P.R. Manager on TikTok that says Florence is playing the perfect game right now, and Olivia is burying herself alive.

[quote]And seriously,Wilde was a fool not to have done the same. Her best bet would have been to shut her mouth the second she was starting to become a target, and start leaking shit on LaBeouf to the press, LOTS of shit on him.

That wouldn't have worked. Everybody knows Shia is a bad guy. The more shit we know about him, the worse Olivia looks for begging him to work on her film. That's the problem. The video she had to have known might be out there. Feminist icon Olivia Wilde was caught in a huge lie, kowtowing to a known abuser and then creating this huge fantasy where SHE was the one who fired him 'for being an asshole.'

She would have been better off just stating facts (there was a mutual decision for Shia to leave the movie) and shutting up about him. Why was she talking about him at all since he's not in the film?

"That wouldn't have worked. Everybody knows Shia is a bad guy. "

The public seems to have forgotten exactly how bad a guy he was, he's been making a comeback because the mainstream has largely forgotten his weekly arrests. New shit on him and a carefully worded statement about not everyone being redeemable would have worked better than, well.. ANYTHING she's done through this whole mess!

Seriously, doesn't she have advisers? Doesn't she listen to them? Honestly, she's handling this SO badly that I'm beginning to doubt she was ever close to Weinstein, how could anyone associate with that kind of power player and learn nothing? Or associate with him and fail to gather enough blackmail material to generate a new scandal, when she needs to get the bitches of the internet off her back?

[quote]r218 Hiring a performer, who isn't a great actor, then fucking him while they're working together and she's his director.

This happens every day in Hollywood. Please.

I thought the Datalounge had decreed Styles gay?

Seriously, I can see an alternate version of the story with a gay Harry, where a woman going through a divorce and a career transition starts a PR relationship with a young gay man that she treats like a lap dog, and goes overboard on every front. She makes a fool of herself at his concerts for the PR, and she swears she'll cement her position as a power-broker director by making a movie start of him, and pisses off her other actors in the attempt. And when it all blows up in her face, the gay starlet does nothing for her, because he's sick of being used for PR and treated like a lap dog at obedience school.

[quote]The public seems to have forgotten exactly how bad a guy he was, he's been making a comeback because the mainstream has largely forgotten his weekly arrests. New shit on him and a carefully worded statement about not everyone being redeemable would have worked better than, well.. ANYTHING she's done through this whole mess!

Again, it's not about knowing Shia is a piece of shit. It's about Olivia lying about firing him for being a piece of shit, when that's not what happened. She wanted the feminist/MeToo cred so she created a false narrative about 'no assholes on her sets.'

If she had just stopped talking about Shia (since he's not in the film, so no need), he wouldn't have released the video. But she got smug, thinking she could lie and trash both Sudeikis and Shia and score 'Future is Female' brownie points with no push back.

Olivia should have stayed totally silent and let the dynamic build mystique in the public imagination, even if that means less press for her. “Auters” get away with casting shitty people and wreaking havoc on set in part because they don’t try to justify themselves to the public.

[quote] None of this matters, of course, if the movie opens. And maybe this will all be additive. David Herrin of The Quorum did some polling this weekend, and the preliminary result is that awareness of Don’t Worry Darling increased from 17 percent to 21 percent this week. That’s a 24 percent spike, likely driven by the noise, though overall awareness of the film is still low. (TV ads haven’t started.) Interestingly, among those who learned about this film this week, about 70 percent said the news made them want to see the movie more.

[quote]So we’ll see. If so, Wilde may have the last laugh here. And then maybe we’ll all herald her as a media genius.

Wouldn't that be a 4 percent spike?

21/17 = 0.235

Was that a robust poll of 8 people? I'm pretty sure a difference of 4 percentage points is within the margin of error.

Lol no one is going to be heralding Olivia Wilde as a “media genius.” The movie is going to flop. Period.

She's a media genius- she's combined the blind ambition, warmth, and angular beauty of a later Joan Crawford with the exhibitionism, good taste and clever romantic partnering of a lesser Kardashian sister.

All at 40! Rocket ship to the moon!

Olivia is finally having to confront the fact that although she has spent her entire life being rich and beautiful, she is now old (in Hollywood years). Her ability to say and do anything has disappeared and she’ll now need to walk on eggshells the rest of her life.

[quote]This happens every day in Hollywood. Please.

Don’t use hyperbole to make a point that isn’t really a point, R307.

It does not happen, “every day” and when it does happen it’s still looked upon with a side eye, like when Seth MacFarlane does it.

The problem is that there are multiple problems surrounding the production and some of them were related to that actor beyond his performance.

The stories of them not being around when needed on set, having a bias related to him while dealing with other actors & Florence being openly annoyed that cunnilingus scene was included because he was doesn’t look good.

Add into it Olivia’s problems dealing with the press and her own damn mouth and it’s a disaster that could have been avoided by resolving that factor.

[quote]r272 She’s obviously a very weak director … Leni Riefenstahl had no trouble being in charge of her films and she was doing it under Nazi duress.

[quote]r273 Betty Box, too.

Betty Butterfield is another who’s excelled at keeping a tight rein on productions. And the lady doesn’t just direct, but creates the music, opening credits, makeup, etc.

In what world you hire Shia , and when he quit, automatically think "oh i know, lets get Harry Styles"

I won't be reading this because scanning through the pictures is giving me nightmares but Girl Boss Olivia Wilde has a new interview in Interview Magazine today, and she looks a fool

How old are her kids? Because she’s embarrassing *me* and I don’t even know her.

[Quote] GYLLENHAAL: What was it like acting in the film that you were directing?

[Quote] WILDE: It was out of necessity. We basically ran out of money and I needed someone who would take a really low salary, but I wanted it to be someone who understood the role. It got to the point where it was down to the wire and our casting director was like, “Olivia, why don’t you just do it?”

What a load of bullshit. You can always find actors, aging actresses especially, who will work cheap.

R322, oooh stylist/photographer/editor don't like her...

Note how Gyllenhaal compliments the performances of Florence Pugh and Chris Stein but doesn't single out Harry Styles...

*Chris Pine

She is just so full of shit.

The quotes of her running such a wonderful, happy set because of her perspective as an actress turned director, now knowing she was running the set from hell...oooh boy. I'm sure Florence is reading all this bullshit somewhere and rolling her eyes.

Interesting to read the comments on wanting a rehearsal period... It rather corroborates Shia's perspective.

The article at R321 is an interview between Wilde and Maggie Gyllenhaal and should be titled, “Two Pretentious Cunts Sitting Around Being Pretentious Cunts”.

Olivia remarks before the tape starts to roll, “Perfect. What if my entire personality changes? Like, I have a slight accent and everything about me changes, do you mention it”.

Isn’t she precious?

Vile creature.

Her responses show how incredibly insecure she is. Example:

WILDE: Bradley Cooper was a great supporter. He said, “It’s going to be really wonderful to be able to direct from within the scenes.” But what I realized once I started was that all of these men had done this in comfortable shoes, and I swear part of it is that I was in a fucking bustier and heels and a wig. They were coming at me doing these necessary but frustrating touch-ups at every second, and I was like, “I need to be at the monitor, I need to be in charge.” I found that to be really hard.

Really, she couldn't be in charge because she's in heels?

…Actors get touched up all the time on set for continuity purposes, what in the world is she going on about?

She's probably trying to put a spin on the old quote about Ginger Rogers: "She did everything Fred Astaried did but backwards and in heels."

*Astaire

Yeah, none of the actor-directors were in wigs and shape wear. 😏

These photos made my day!! how hilariously embarrassing hahahahahahah!

Very Joan Crawford.

I dont think she has a stylist, she always looks messy.

The photos are awful and she comes across as snobby in the interview.

R337, this is the cringiest shit I’ve seen in a while.

R338 I literally just thought ‘end-stage Joan Crawford’ before reading your comment!

I don't quite understand the craze for lips that don't fit your face.

GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS

R303 No one aside from delusional posters think this fug is gay, he's just hoping on trends and since wearing skirts is in, not to mention he wants to be david bowie and jagger so bad hence the whole "genderqueer" act.

I think he's a little bit poofy. This seems pretty poorly programmed for Coachella, of all places.

The DM is reporting Pugh will not be doing any press at Venice, will not be on the photocall with the cast, will not have dinner with the cast. She's flying in to do the red carpet and that's it. She's out of there.

The DM also said it was unknown whether Harry was going to attend, but didn’t explain where that was coming from.

R347 A true fame whore, she could have just skipped the whole ass affair but her block headed, wide waisted no neck having ass must get the exposure.

She’s probably required to attend the premiere in her contract.

r348 I have a feeling he might not attend. All this drama going on now is not how he likes to operate. And I'm sure his PR people are shitting.

She'll have to pose with the cast on the red carpet, surely?

Imagine the awkwardness if it’s just Olivia and Flo? Would Olivia stay with him if he ditches her movie premiere? That would be a chickenshit move, even if the movie stinks.

He'll just pr the thing and say he can't attend do to it being work related. This might Torpedo his movie career though.

It wouldn’t torpedo his movie career R354. Bad acting will do that.

In addition to the upcoming release of the film My Policeman, Styles has a $100 million multi-Marvel movie deal.

It would be silly of him not to attend. He has two movies and the Policeman movie might save him.

[Quote] Bad acting will do that.

Not necessarily.

R355 Nope, press is everything in Hollywood. How you're precieved by the press can make or brake you now matter how good or bad of an actor you are. And his marvel contract was premature. No one liked anything from eternals and talks for a sequel seriously died out after 2021.

IMHO Pugh is perfectly safe, and Styles won't suffer much.

That's the thing about Hollywood, when there's a disaster there's usually one scapegoat who takes the heat from the public and within in the industry. So normally, if a young actress refused to publicize a film her career would be in serious trouble, but in this case Pugh is off the hook because Wilde is the designated target. Styles won't be helped by this, but his acting career won't sink, if he's even barely competent he'll get other offers.

Loving this drama.

[quote] And his marvel contract was premature. No one liked anything from eternals and talks for a sequel seriously died out after 2021.

His (Harry Styles) Starfox appearance was basically a glorified cameo at the very end.

However, like "Sersi" (Gemma Chan) and "Black Knight," (Kit Harrington) he's an Avengers character. So it doesn't matter how the Eternals did for those three.

Those three characters will have a life beyond the Eternals and that's why he got that 5 picture contract.

This looks like a crime scene photo.

Harry and Olivia will consciously uncouple by Christmas. They may hold out until late January when the Academy Award nominations are announced, not that it appears either one of them stands a chance at a nomination.

I would love to see Florence get nominated.

Nah, then Olivia's publicity would say she directed Flo to an Oscar nomination.

R364, not with the ongoing controversy and already published reports saying Florence had to direct herself in scenes because Olivia and Harry were too busy fucking.

R321 I think Olivia has proven that she clearly does not need to “be in charge”

The person who *needs* to be in charge is usually the worst person at running things. Because with them, it's all about them and their ego needs, not about getting the job done.

Watching this blowhard gloss over the greasefire of her own making is astounding. Obviously she has limitations to some degree in terms of what she can and can’t say, but it would make her look so much better if she just acknowledged her lies and was honest about what went on on that set. Florence’s removal of herself with anything and everything involving the movie’s press speaks volumes. Note that she hasn’t once come to Cockburn’s defense. Olivia must have been a real cunt because Florence seems like a fairly easygoing person.

Easygoing? Miss Flo got very mouthy over blowback from dating Zach Braff. Rising above is a new tactic.

As someone else pointed out, Florence has gone out of her way to not even say Olivia's name even when she should have before.

Olivia is the director of the movie and not the star. She seems confused. That's the problem.

It seems as if she's doing the directing thing to elevate herself rather than serve the story she was supposed to be telling.

She thinks she's on the same level as Fincher, Nolan and Spielberg but even they would not have been as present for promotion as she has been because they know their place and it's not ahead of the stars that are in their projects. Tim Gun gets the recognition he gets on his own only because he spent years establishing himself.

R370 Olivia wants to be an A list actress more than a director, she doesn't have "it" hence why she never made it as a big star.

R371, She should have pulled a Reese, Sandra, Mindy, Tina Fey, etc. and just produced projects that she could cast herself in while playing up to her own strengths. You can parade yourself all around at that point.

R369 those are different circumstances though. In general, I do think Florence seems fairly down-to-earth and no-nonsense. Olivia is incredibly phony and proven herself a pathological liar. Florence's lack of comment on any of this is hilarious to me.

"Girl boss," OP??

Really???

[quote]R333 Actors get touched up all the time on set for continuity purposes, what in the world is she going on about?

Actresses are subjected to a lot of time and very high standards in the Hair and Makeup trailers. There’s much more to maintain on the set.

Actors may be powdered down if they’re sweating… maybe a lock of hair is put back into place. It’s not at all the same thing.

Florence being annoyed by the hate her relationship with Zach Braff got always seemed reasonable to me, in that it made me believe she really genuinely liked the guy and it had to be fucking annoying and hurtful , everybody being like, “YOURE DATING HIM???” How do you not be defensive about that if you really care about that person?

R376 agreed, she had a right to return fire on that IMO. Olivia's cuntiness and the blowback she's received is not worth a response, and Florence knows it—which suggests she has no respect for Olivia.

R372 she has no strengths as an actress.

"Olivia is the director of the movie and not the star. She seems confused."

She's trying to sell a film whose star has refused to do any publicity, and establish herself as a name director. The fact that she's being very public right now would actually be a reasonable career move... if she were saying things that would sell the film or establish herself as a name director, instead of shooting off her mouth like an idiot!

Doesn't she have advisors? Doesn't she listen to them?

We’ll probably see Florence and Olivia smiling together on the red carpet.

Is anyone else getting Julia Phillips vibes (she was recently featured in the ‘Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again’ related thread? Messy, chaotic, narcissistic. Personal life overspill into professional. Bit of a dick?

[quote] Is anyone else getting Julia Phillips vibes

Phillips was far more intelligent than this twit.

[Quote] How do you not be defensive about that if you really care about that person?

By paying the public dust and shouting about it to your shrink.

R381... could be drugs. Everyone is confused by her loud mouthed inelegant strategy- drugs explain it.

[quote]She's trying to sell a film whose star has refused to do any publicity, and establish herself as a name director

You're "Twitter" responding.

You realize that the star is refusing to do publicity [bold]because[/bold] she was a shit director. So of course she's doing publicity. Had she done her job, she wouldn't have to and she also wouldn't be so present because her actress would be willing to do publicity.

So, like I said. She shouldn't be so present. The fact that she is, is because she screwed up and she wants the attention or else she'd convince her boyfriend to do double duty.

She can't establish herself as a name director without actually being a good director MOST of the time. She had directed three music videos and Booksmart when she got this.

Do the damn work and do it right then collect your flowers.

[quote]Olivia's cuntiness and the blowback she's received is not worth a response, and Florence knows it—which suggests she has no respect for Olivia.

I think it says a lot, watching her behavior now (wisely being silent), that she spoke up about the cunnilingus scene in the trailer. She even went as far as to post a version of the trailer, after it dropped, without the scene spliced into it.

What she said was a lot which just says to me she must have been really pissed.

Is Florence annoyed that she had to perform a cunnilingus scene or that it was in the trailer?

She’s annoyed because she spent a year on a difficult (COVID) production working across from a pop star who can’t act his way out of a paper bag, directed by the pop star’s distracted lover, and now the press strategy for the film is “Pop star goes down on camera, what a hunk!”

So she’s annoyed it was in the trailer. Fair enough.

But not such a surprise given Olivia wore a T-shirt emblazoned with The Future Is Female Ejaculation on set, like she’s an edgy 19-year-old.

R388 that level of attention-seeking is so repulsive. I am guessing she wore this on the day they filmed the scene where Florence was getting eaten out by Harry on the dining room table. Imagine being an actor and coming to the set the morning you're about to film a very intimate sex scene, and the director is wearing something like this. I would have quit then and there.

^ and on top of that, you know that the director is cheating on her partner with your co-star who is about to simulate cunnilingus on you. Fucking gross (and incredibly unprofessional).

Flo is going down on a woman in the trailer? Or Harold is going down on Flo?

I think having to be in sex scenes directed by your co-star's lover could get really creepy really fast, especially given Olivia Wilde's procuress past. Probably it was more than Florence signed up for if she was expecting everyone to just be professional.

Did Flo make that "Harry is good at accents" comment after filming the movie?

I wonder what other hollywood types think of her what with the Weinstein connection. It was so obvious even from pictures of them together in public, maybe she has the dirt on everyone and that’s why she keeps failing up (til now)?

[quote]r392 I think having to be in sex scenes directed by your co-star's lover could get really creepy really fast, [bold]especially given Olivia Wilde's procuress past[/bold]

Is Miss Flo keeping her distance because Wilde tried to drug and/or traffic her?

[quote]So she’s annoyed it was in the trailer. Fair enough.

She was annoyed it was being used (by Olivia) to promote the project and she didn't want to talk about it as opposed to Olivia who was running around with the shirt on up above and praising something called "The Clit Test" who wrote about it.

[quote]“When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. It’s not why I’m in this industry,” Pugh says. “Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that. That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because [this movie is] bigger and better than that. And the people who made it are bigger and better than that.”

Add into this that even when she was thanking the people who made the movie she didn't mention Olivia, her reluctance to talk about the movie other than the above and her eventual backing out of promoting it except for one appearance entirely -- they clearly didn't get along.

R396 what the fuck is "the Clit Test"? Is it a pussy-eating version of the Bechdel test?

[Quote] Pugh was initially offered the supporting role of Bunny, a neighborhood wife with a fabulous wardrobe and killer one-liners. Once the pandemic halted production and scheduling drastically changed, an opportunity arose to play Alice. (Wilde ended up in the role of Bunny.)

Who was set to play the lead before Flo? Scarlet Johansson?

R398 They are both horrible choices. Big arses, pumped up faces and no talent.

Olivia claims working with bad directors has motivated her to not repeat their mistakes on her own sets. However, I’m 100% positive she’s one of those women who manages to find (or create) conflict with other women. She might respect Flo as an actress, but still couldn’t resist devaluing her as a person.

I can't think of anything more unprofessional then a director ignoring her actress to go off and fuck the male lead. So her claims about not repeating bad directors mistakes is laughable.

R401: male directors have been doing that FOREVER,

Right, but Olivia is putting on this act like she's DIFFERENT.

Maybe Livvy thought she could fuck a good performance out of Harry Styles. Barbara Windsor tried to so out of Maurice Gibb.

Press conference w/ all 3 of them in Venice on Monday. Before world premiere screening.

Can't wait.

Will Livvy and Flo bookend Harold?

Will the press be given strict guidelines as to the permitted questions?

i.e., No Qs about Shia, his firing/resignation, his letter in Variety, OW’s video call, etc. etc.

Will the press conference be livestreamed on YouTube?

R405 I can’t wait to read the body language from everyone there. I’m sure phony Olivia will be trying to sweeten it up to loathsome proportions.

I hope Harold wears one of his stage outfits, something with a boa or two.

Will Flo cook for the assembled?

Florence is not doing press. Red carpet and she’s leaving before the premiere.

Will we at least get a Jessica Lange - Lea Michele moment?

R412 those red carpet photos are going to be worth a thousand words

"Is Miss Flo keeping her distance because Wilde tried to drug and/or traffic her?"

No. Pugh isn't particularly pretty or built, but she's a genuine talent, so she's one of the few young actresses who might get more film offers than yacht trip invitations.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the guy above was correct and Wilde is one of those women who don't get along with other women, and that she might have done okay directing unknowns in "Booksmart", but had problems with a name actress who was used to contributing to the filmmaking process. That's the thing about a lot of "feminists" at high professional levels, they're gung-ho feminists when it comes to themselves, but not other women...

Name value can trump looks...

[quote]No. Pugh isn't particularly pretty or built, but she's a genuine talent, so she's one of the few young actresses who might get more film offers than yacht trip invitations.

I don't like Olivia or Harry, but the Pugh woman is a troublemaker. I wouldn't hire her for anything. She's not a team player

Heh! Mundane Monday will be lifted by news snippets featuring this trio from the Venice premier.

R417 Yeah, all she does is cry about bullying on instagram. These new celebs don't have very thick skin and should have management take away their social media.

Hi Olivia R417!

R417 it’s hard to be a “team player” when you have Olivia Cockburn as your head coach

Olivia and Harry have landed in Venice. Olivia looking ridiculous in a white pants suit tucked into cowboy boots.

FP is now also skipping the film's press conference scheduled after the screening.

I get the impression Flo will be photographed alone or with people who aren't Harry or Olivia, on the red carpet.

Heard from people who have viewed it that Don’t Worry, Darling is a hot mess.

Flow may be wise to distance herself from the film AND the antics behind the scene.

I can't wait for the reviews!

^ Also, Dakota Johnson dodged a bullet. She was originally scheduled to have Flo Pugh’s role and Flo was slated to have Olivia Cockburn’s role.

Flo was a better fit for the Cockburn role: vampy with sarcastic quips.

Dakota Johnson makes sense. Was their a scheduling conflict?

Olivia has been bitching about how she was forced to cut a bunch of sex scenes from the trailer. Eh, why would a trailer, which should give you some kind of insight into what the film is about, contain nothing but sex scenes? She sounds unhinged.

Well, with Mr. Watermelon Sugar (AKA Pussy Juice) in the lead, I can see her rationale.

Yes, R427, “scheduling conflict”. Remember though, DWD started filming about 6 months into Covid, so there may be something to everyone’s schedules being messed up.

Yet, Dakota and Shia worked together on The Peanut Butter Falcon, so when he bailed (and Styles was cast), it was no surprise that Johnson bailed.

Johnson already bailed, otherwise Olivia wouldn't have spoken to Shia about a "wake up call for Miss Flo."

I have to wonder what impelled Dakota Johnson to drop out (aside from Shia leaving). I suspect she too probably found Olivia insufferable. Like Florence, DL seems to loathe Dakota, but I like her. She comes across as surprisingly down-to-earth for being the child of two quite famous (and wealthy) people. She strikes me as the kind of person who could kick it with "normal" people and not be a cunt. Her mom seems the same.

Did Dakota work with Shia pre FKA Twigs revelations?

r432, I have never met anyone who managed to hold down a career while being more spaced out on drugs than Melanie Griffith.

She never agreed to go in the first place R422. Red carpet and nothing else.

Dakota was integral at yanking back the curtain on Ellen, for that she should be DL royalty

"Florence Pugh will not be participating in the press conference for "Don't Worry Darling" at Venice as her flight into the festival doesn't arrive until after the event. She will be available for the red carpet later that day."

LOL at how this is getting framed by Variety, as if Pugh couldn't have gotten an earlier flight

I'd love if Flo attends the red carpet in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops.

r437 What a flattering photo.

I'm actually living for this disastrous roll-out, it feels like it's been ages since PR people have allowed drama this thick to escape into the outer-world -- all the good stuff is usually clamped down so tight nowadays. I'm sure people are screaming at Florence to be kissy kissy at Venice but I hope she keeps this up. Shove that bitch over on the red carpet, Flo! Dynasty shit!

Harry and Olivia flew in separately. And, so it begins.

Will Harold rebound with Emma Corrin?

Harry flew in separately because he had a show at Madison Square Garden in NYC last night.

But doesn't Olivia dance at Harry's shows?

R443 So? She couldnt have waited for him?

Olivia is probably planning her own "You'r So Vain" movie about Harry post the inevitable break up.

I’ll send her a text R445 and ask her.

R440 hit the nail on the head. It is rare that we see this level of cuntery from celebrities exposed for the public to see. Social media/internet is part of it, but it’s a double edged sword—public figures can flood the web/dilute and whitewash their image to some degree, but you can also do something like release the video that LaBeouf shared and really expose someone and their intentions.

BUMP!

Did the premiere or press conference happen yet?

Oh, Chris Pine. What is that hurr?

Livvy in Girl Boss Green.

Flo did wear shorts!?

they all look horrible

"Sufficiently well nourished." Lol.

Flo is serving early Madonna with those sunglasses and short blonde do'.

The press conference starts c. 57:00

[quote] Livvy in Girl Boss Green.

r451 Christ, can you 20 year old stans fuck off please?

Bless your heart, r457.

They look so raw and unpolished. What's going on in Hollywood?

I dislike Wilde, but I do love her outfit. Patch pockets! Pugh's purple shorts ensemble just looks silly, but maybe she's sending a message with that. The men look like they time warped from the 70s and that's always fun.

I don't mind Wilde's outfit but I hate the clunky black boots with it. Flo kind of looks like she's wearing pajamas. Chris Pine and Harry look ridiculous.

I think you’re all forgetting how much Olivia Wilde has done for feminism by showing that women can also do all the unprofessional and inappropriate things male auteurs have been doing forever.

Has she masturbated into a potted plant?

Flow Pew has her septum pierced. Definitely someone who “revises consent”.

Huh?

Red Carpet LIVE!

Chris Pine can't pull off the surfer tresses.

Harry hiding behind sunglasses.

Nick Kroll looks decent.

This movie will crash and burn. The only attendees will be repeat psychotic Harry fans who would pay to watch him eat his boogers.

Interviewing Olivia but the camera keeps cutting to Harry embracing others, signing autographs.

Flo arrive! En hot pants!

While Flo poses, Harry goes back for autographs round two. He's so kind. KIND!?!22211

Florence brought along her brother. I wish he was the one in hit pants.

Chris, Nick and Gemma greet Flo.

Flo seems more interested in talking to Nick than Gemma. Girl Betrayal?

Is the old lady Flo's grandma?

Harry poses with wheelchair bound fan. Is there no end to his kindness?!

Yes.

Harry and Flo mere feet away from each other but no greeting yet.

And there won't be. Harry joins Olivia and another (female) cast member.

Flo safely snuggled between Chris and Nick. Suprisingly, Olivia is beside Chris.

Flo trying to work outstretched leg. Not succeeding.

Short Asian man wisely moves beside Nick, knowing he'll be cut out of the group pic otherwise.

Damn. Harry looks into Nick. Giving him tipsy, twinkly eyes.

Montage of 360 camera shots. At one point, camera cuts form Harry to a Pride flag waving in fan pen.

Pics?

From the few reviews I have seen the film is getting panned and Pugh is getting praise.

It always surprises me that Chris Pine is quite dainty.

Kiki Layne wasn't invited?

Links to reviews, R492?

"Harry Styles Looks Lost."

[Quote] The musician is like a deer in headlights throughout much of the proceedings, and a scene of him crying in the car following a particularly fiery row with Pugh is littered with more crocodile tears than Charlie Sheen being hauled out of his office by the cops at the end of Wall Street (not to mention, his bastardized British accent is a distraction).

[Quote] Though it is unfair that Styles, a late-in-the-game replacement for Shia LaBeouf, was paired with an actress as formidable as Pugh in his first leading role

Unfair? This is not Florence Pugh's Best Friend Race!

[Quote] “What I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.”

Oh, Harold!

Variety took a bribe!

[Quote] Jack, played by Styles with a wholesome cunning that marks him as a natural screen actor

[quote]Kiki Layne wasn't invited?

I wonder. She is filming the sequel to Netflix's THE OLD GUARD, but they are primarily shooting in Italy so I don't know why she wouldn't be there unless they couldn't shoot around her for a day.

What a load of shit!

[Quote] What is convincing is how easily Styles sheds his pop-star flamboyance, even as he retains his British accent and takes over one party scene by dancing as if he were in a ’40s musical. There’s actually something quite old-fashioned about Styles. With his popping eyes, floppy shock of hair, and saturnine suaveness, he recalls the young Frank Sinatra as an actor. It’s too early to tell where he’s going in movies, but if he wants to he could have a real run in them.

[Quote] handsomely designed but hammily acted, laborious and derivative mystery chiller. Directed by Olivia Wilde, it superciliously pinches ideas from other films without quite understanding how and why they worked in the first place. It spoils its own ending simply by unveiling it, and in so doing shows that serious script work needed to be done on filling in the plot-holes and problems in a fantastically silly twist-reveal.

Don’t Worry Darling’ Review: Florence Pugh and Harry Styles Can’t Redeem Olivia Wilde’s Stale Reality-Warp Nightmare

[Quote] Styles may or not be a talented actor; it’s not easy to tell from this, but the normally excellent Pugh has not been interestingly directed, certainly not compared with her work in broadly comparable movies such as Midsommar or The Falling.

Apparently they shut down questions about Florence at the press conference

Never listen to Owen Gleiberman (the Variety review) - he is king of the hacks

Harry can take an eye out with that collar.

The reviews are hilarious—all praise for Miss Flo’s performance, but Wilde isn’t even thrown crumbs. Many comments on it being unoriginal and having a weak script. Pretty much crickets on Wilde’s direction, which is almost worse than criticism.

It's worse for the scriptwriter, Katie Something.

Olivia worked on the script as well (according to her) so she's shit with the script and the writing/crafting the story and direction.

Yes, but the main writer is the only one I've seen called out for the script.

Do these review talk about Harry's shitty accent? Was he trying to do an American accent and failing or is this character supposed to be a Manchester transplant living in Anytown 1950s USA?

Apparently the twist reveals why his accent is bad.I presume because there's a Truman Show element to the movie and Harry is an actor within the movie, whereas Flo is not.

This bitch got too cocky after that mediocre super bad wannabe book smart. And her comments from last week came back to bite her in her flat ass, about being in shitty movies taught her to direct. Lmao. Gurl you're done. And harry not posing with her in the red carpet is very telling.

Did anyone post with any other actor besides in the group shots?

lol

Looks like Harry wants Nick's Kroll.

Fucking Harry Styles with his tired gay-baiting schtick.

Someone needs to post the Red Carpet excerpt of Styles flirting with Kroll. Styles' eyes lit up.

Harry styles is a gay baiting English freak that's a less hot version of me.

R514 the “Truman Show” element seemed obvious to me the first time I saw the trailer—either that, or an M. Night Shyamalan “Village”-style twist (except a ‘50 “Stepford Wives” take on it). Yawn.

I’m sure the film is heavy handed with its female repression themes. Remember, the future IS female ejaculation!

Here you go, R520

I wonder what attracted Flo to the project beyond the $$$$. Reviews have noted that she's already given a similar peformance before.

Thanks, r523. I'm not a Harry fan so my experience is limited, but I've never seen him so alive in the face.

Oh god of course that godawful Nick Kroll, who built his entire career by having a billionaire father who made his money through intelligence ties to Mossad, is involved with this shit -- Nick's father's company was the one that Harvey Weinstein used to dig up dirt on his accusers lol!

In that video at r517 I love that Pugh is gathering up her purse and pushing toward the aisle the entire time - her body language is screaming GET ME OUT OF HEREEEEE

Ah, yes.

Harry Styles making sure to grab that last bit of attention.

R527 she also has her body angled toward Kroll the entire time and avoids looking in Olivia’s direction at all costs lmao

Nick Kroll is one of the ugliest people on the planet. He looks like a humanoid version of a tarsier.

Florence seems like a bit of a princess but I’m seriously impressed with how she’s played the PR game. Well done lass.

Any pics of Flo's bro, Toe?

Will marvel shelf her spiderwoman movie now?

R532 To looks like a Greek male version of Flo. I think he’s hot. Nice chest hair too.

R526 Olivia met Kroll through her moonlighting gig as one of Harvey’s cumsluts.

Thanks but I meant from Venice. Someone upthread said Flo brought her bro.

Miss Flo and Toby.

I guess he didn't want to outshine her but he could have gone for a romper.

I guess low slung is out but it's more flattering to someone with a short torso...

Nobody wants to stand next to Olivia, not even Harry

Chris tried to put Nick Kroll in between himself and Olivia but Nicky was having none of it.

Another correct observation.

He just is not attractive

It's Edna Mode with a new hair do'

He's the second coming of Elaine Stritch.

With littler charm.

What a silly world. This childs' twitter page is hilarious though.

R547 Can you imagine how he must be sweating in this sweater/blazer combo at this time of year? And what is with this leaving the tag on the sleeve trend? Austin Butler did this too in an interview. It looks idiotic.

[quote]Austin Butler did this too in an interview. It looks idiotic.

Started out as a gay trend during the 80s when queens going to vogue balls would get outfits and leave the tags on with the intention of returning them.

R540 She looks like big bird.

Not of returning them. They mopped those garments.

I mean, it's just a thing that started that way, trickled over into urban communities when the intention wasn't even to return them but as a "style" thing, add in a healthy dose of people forgetting to remove the tag and now you have Gucci making suits with the tag designed to stay on the suit. It's all related.

Am I missing something? Isn’t this movie basically a remake of The Stepford Wives?

The Stepford Wives did not EJACULATE!

No Tina Louise, No Performance!

39% on Rotten Tomatoes

R556 the Time magazine review (written by a woman) confirms all the suspicions I had about what this film would be like

[quote] The biggest problem with Don’t Worry Darling is that it ends in the wrong place: This could have been a reasonably effective dystopian chiller, but it takes a sharp swerve into feminist triumph that feels patched-on and facile.

I'd check this movie out on streaming but no way in hell i'm going to a theater to see it.

Did…did Styles spit on Chris Pine?

LMAO

The Tweets related to the Venice premiere are cracking me up…

He 100% spit on Chris Pine!

I didn't see any spittle.

The original video was deleted! It's a conspiracy!

Oh, it's on. Popcorn.

“i wish he knew how many lives he saved”.

Saving lives how?

With cunnilingus!

Another angle!

Ah, they had Harry cut across and Flo come down from behind.

Olivia with her interpretation of the “Melania smile-to-grimace”.

Pine got good reviews. I will fuck him now.

R570 truly nauseating

I saw Booksmart last night and it was like an unfunny Superbad. Women saying VAGINA isn't automatically funny. Teenage girls don't talk about sex that way. I've seen the previews for the Harry Styles movie and it looks awful.

I thought Booksmart was vastly overrated when it came out. I do love Kaitlyn Dever though

Nick Kroll is unnecessarily ugly.

r540, I'm cackling at Pine trying to get Kroll to stand next to her

I don't care about any of them. But I fucked Chris Pine a few times off the coast of the Atlantic. In his ASS. He's got some chill and nice lips. He's sweet inside.

Harry Styles is the poseur they always claimed, I guess. Sucking up to Stevie Nicks and all the other untalented old ladies. Olivia Wilde is done over the course of two weeks.

She and Harry will have a polite breakup before the leaves fall.

No one should have to fuck Jason Sudeikis, she doesn't need that flabby white ass drunk back in her life. I expect Olivia will manufacture something like a Mia Farrow accusation any day now. Go girl.

This is just so bizarre. The last week for this film has been a, seemingly, magic time for shit and a ground zero of people fucking themselves over, on social media.

No he doesn't. Pine has liver lips.

" I expect Olivia will manufacture something like a Mia Farrow accusation any day now. Go girl."

If she's going to go nuclear as her career crumbles, I hope she turns on Styles! He's a no-talent poseur douche, and if he gets into a serious catfight with Wilde it'll be more entertaining than anything he ever did on a professional level.

To think that the (public) drama started back in April when Olivia was served papers on stage at Cinemacon. It’s been a mess from beginning to end.

Does anyone else feel there’s a potential ‘making of the movie’ docudrama in here? A story far more interesting than the DWD film itself?

If you scroll down in the comments on the tweet in R568, you can see the clip of Harry taking his seat and seemingly spitting on Pine.

Pine is clapping and stops dead, then appears stunned, after what looks like Harry quickly spitting on him.

The spit clip.

The texts between Shia and Miss Flo are pretty shocking. Olivia Wilde out and out lied about firing him. And, the fact that the screenshots are from Florence Pugh's phone makes it pretty obvious that she was the one who leaked them. You can, in fact, glean from those texts that it was Wilde herself that was the problem. Shia sensed trouble from her, and bailed.

The screenshots are from Shia's phone. The blue writing is Shia.

The rumor mill is saying that Harry is pissed at Olivia as he had no knowledge of the Shia LaBeouf tape and that he avoided her as much as possible at film fest.

Hmmm. So Harold and Olivia have split already?

I could see it happening soon R588. Despite his “treat people with kindness” bullshit, he’s all about the adoration and $$$. He won’t allow anything to hurt his brand.

As soon as this shit started you can bet his management was on it. I cant believe they even let rumors fly that he was dating her. Big mistake. They didnt do their research.

What would their research have told them?

Kroll… Wilde… all roads lead to Harvey

R591 That she is an asshole.

Make it happen.

I have new found respect for Chris Pine having to sit through this interview with the idiot Styles.

Not that this whole mess isn't entertaining, but some of you are taking this "Olivia LIED about firing Shia" thing FAR too seriously. Everybody in Hollywood lies to the public! EVERYBODY!

Actors say their thick hair is natural, actresses say they've never had plastic surgery, producers say "Creative differences" to explain actors leaving projects instead of "Overdosed" or "dead hooker" or "He just sucked", divorces are called "creative uncoupling" instead of "she's pricing hit men", etc. It's all lies, and catching someone out in a lie isn't shocking, it's expected. It's just entertaining to see them get caught.

But no one’s shocked she’s lying. It’s what she’s lying about, r596.

Olivia Wilde lied about of the most critically acclaimed young actresses of her generation and an already cancelled actor in a really patronising way. She lied to posit herself as morally superior to the other directors in the industry. She have interviews claiming to be the maternal protectress sensitive and fair, yet still super fun and sexy and a cool girl who can land a decade younger piece of hot young ass.

And Olivia is doing so while wearing The Future Is Female Ejaculation t-shirts in workplace, where the young actress is acting scenes of simulated cunnilingus with the director’s lover; and while reportedly the young actress receives inadequate direction in favour of the hot young piece of ass. Who as it turns out, is an indifferent actor.

Which makes her behaviour just the same as that of the toxic old white men littering the film industry that she is claiming to elevate.

[quote] Which makes her behaviour just the same as that of the toxic old white men littering the film industry that she is claiming to elevate.

Absolutely.

Olivia Cockburn is just like her mentor, Harvey Weinstein. Full of it. Prancing about and shrieking with the “feminist” trope when her behaviours belie just the opposite:

1) She was Weinstein’s procurer of other women.

2) She does not support other women (ahem, her lead actress in a film).

3) She blatantly lies and has been caught out in said lies.

4) She cries “victim” whilst going through a divorce.

No wonder Jen Garner and Flo Pugh cannot STAND the woman after working with her (in Butter and DWD, respectively.)

No one wanted to stand next to Olivia Cockburn at the Venice Film photocall. Not even her reported lover.

Cockburn is toxic, and hopefully she will never be near another movie set again.

"But no one’s shocked she’s lying. It’s what she’s lying about, [R596]. Olivia Wilde lied about of the most critically acclaimed young actresses of her generation and an already cancelled actor in a really patronising way."

Oh, that's normal. And the fact that an actor revealed the lie to the public is what's hilarious, but it's hardly cause for outrage.

The thing is, he's avoided another public dumping-on for screwing up here, but has he really done himself any favors? Yes, he's proven himself right, but he's also let Hollywood know that he's keeping evidence, and not playing the normal game of telling plausible lies to the public. That could possibly work against him in the long run.

[quote] Does anyone else feel there’s a potential ‘making of the movie’ docudrama in here? A story far more interesting than the DWD film itself

On it.
