Hatchet face Emily Blunt is the reason The Fall Guy is flopping

Ryan Goaling.

I truly think DL hates Emily Blunt because she’s a beautiful woman with a nice looking husband and a very nice life.

That’s just not acceptable here.

If he dumped her for a 21-year-old and she became a drunk then they’d embrace her.

Her life is just too nice for the bitter queens here.

I like her as an actress but I keep reading that she and Krasinski are assholes.

Terrible casting for this film. She has zero sex appeal.

And she's a try-hard who thinks she's a lot funnier in public appearances than she actually is.

Why did Krasinski marry a Cillian Murphy look alike?

Biggest casting tragedy of the last 20 years. Emily having to give up Black Widow and Scarlett replacing her.

She is a dead ringer for Black Widow from the comics and Scarlett looks like a chubby kewpie doll.

What could have been.

I think I only like Gosling when he plays in weird movies. He does a menacing resting bitchface very well.

[quote] with a nice looking husband and a very nice life.

He is average looking.

She’s not beautiful.

I don't recognize the woman, she has altered her 😔 so much.

Blunt is a Hollywood 4 and that's being generous.

she has never been all that talented or appealing, she just comes from wealth. He won the lottery with The Office gig, considering he can’t act and he’s not very cute.

They’re also both well known for being smug, mean and arrogant.

R12, she comes from wealth? She’s not classically trained, so did her family get her into acting?

She one time stated that her father originally wanted to make her a British pop star. Since I know nothing about her family, it didn’t make much sense.

How did she land “Prada” with scant acting experience in her native country?

Part of my strong dislike for her is that I get a charlatan vibe from her. She’s mediocre as an actress and, sorry, not a statuesque, charismatic presence on-screen, but Hollywood keeps rewarding her with plum roles.

Her uncle is a conservative MP that came out of the closet late in life and, last year, was arrested ion suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances.

I admit to an embarrassing crush on Gosling, but I don't know if I can tolerate her for that long. In the clips I've seen they have the opposite of chemistry. Who cast this movie?

She's always come across to me as rather cold and bitter. It's distracting.

[quote] I admit to an embarrassing crush on Gosling

Why embarrassing?

I don’t think Blunt’s target audience is ever going to be gay men, although in her best roles she has a kind of edge to her (a slight brittleness) that makes her interesting to watch. She’s probably someone a lot of women can identify with, and aspire to be: she is pretty without being unattainably beautiful, and she has wit and intelligence.

I saw the film yesterday, and liked it. It’s an entertaining piece of nonsense, just as the series was.

Neither Blunt nor Gosling have much acting to do in it. - They just go through the motions, and it’s enough. They are both fairly likeable, and the whole film seems based on that. They don’t have much sexual chemistry, but that’s fine. No-one is watching this as a love story. It’s a fairly broad action comedy, starring a group of actors you quite enjoy spending 2 hours with.

It seemed enjoyably old-fashioned to me: a silly story held together by actors who are smart enough to convey the feeling that they are amused to be in it. I actually wish there were more films like it, in an era where films seem to be restricted to soulless superhero tedium, or terribly serious stories telling us how awful the world is.

Because he’s 43? Like having a crush on you middle school math teacher?

R17, she has a British accent and comes from money. That’s not “wit and intelligence”. I’ve seen her interviews, especially the recent boring ones with Howard Stern. She’s not that smart.

[quote]I truly think DL hates Emily Blunt because she’s a beautiful woman with a nice looking husband and a very nice life.

I remember many Brits despised her back in 2015 after she became an American citizen.

It was already bad enough that she had married an American, the star of US Office., no less

R19, no-one watching The Fall Guy, or most of her films is going to give her an IQ test. She brings a wit and intelligence which comes through on-screen, and which I think makes her likeable to a lot of the audience. Even if she isn’t smart in real life (which I don’t necessarily agree with), he on-screen persona makes her seem as if she is, and that is all that matters, given that she is an actress.

If she bores you, then you are not her audience, but I can imagine women in particular responding to her very differently. She’s the Hollywood version of a smart, pretty everywoman, and she’s definitely smart enough for that!

I actually think it has more to do with the fact that people just don't like many rom-coms anymore.

R21 Anne Hathaway does a better job at that than cold, charisma-free Emily Blunt.

A smelly cunt, Emily Blunt.

In an world where films seem to be restricted to soulless superhero tedium comes The Fall Guy!

Agreed R11.

[quote] Her uncle is a conservative MP that came out of the closet late in life and, last year, was arrested ion suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances.

Well, she should definitely go to jail for that.

No one in the UK cares who Emily Blunt married or where she lives, r20. In fact, I wish her sister Felicity would also move to the US with her American husband, because Stanley Tucci is a creep and I'd prefer if he didn't live in London.

Wow. Where to begin?

First, the success or failure of this movie has nothing to do with Emily Blunt. It’s “The Fall Guy,” not “The Fall Gal.” She’s the female lead and would be interchangeable with any of her contemporaries. It’s about the concept more than the stars.

Second, this is just a pure hate thread. It’s not even pointless bitchery. There’s nothing clever or witty about it. It’s like she’s the pretty, popular girl in school dating the cool guy and you’re the bitter, ugly nerd who hates her, OP.

You might have been able to fashion something fun and funny but you let your unhinged, bitter emotions create a sad, pathetic thread instead.

Do better.

Lmao at the nut above who made a wrong turn at an Emily Blunt fan board.

[quote] I remember many Brits despised her back in 2015 after she became an American citizen.

Egads! How dare she!

Projecting much, boys and gurls? A psycho-therapist could have a field day in this thread, lmao.

OP, Emma Stone has had plenty of flops

Ugly annoying cunt just like Olivia Wilde.

Howard Stern embarrassed himself by having her troll ass on and acting like she was some sexy bombshell. She’s hideous.

[quote] She’s hideous.

An absolute monster. She should not be allowed out of the house without a bag on her head. Like Medusa and Quasimodo rolled into one.

R36 she can do all the makeup she wants, she’s still ugly imo

A friend of mine just worked recently with Krasinski on his most recent movie (the terrible looking IF) and he made their life a nightmare -- he apparently is convinced that he single-handedly saved the US box office with that Quiet Place garbage and has an ego the size of the sun

There’s only ONE hatchet-face, and that’s me, baby!

Shhhh, r38. Don't say that out loud. Krasinski may hear you.

Baby dick Krasinski is an idiot. The Sifler from American Pie for a generation. Micropeen.

She’s no Heather Thomas or Markie Post that’s for damn sure.

Why did they feel the need to remake this anyway?

R42, I don't know, I don't think anyone under 50 cares about it

[quote] the star of US Office.

FUCK YOU, R20!

She can’t act! She has no on-screen charisma. No one fondly remembers that “Emily Blunt” performance or movie.

Clearly she has some fangurls on this thread, but we’re just sick of her overrated talent and bloated plastic face being shoved down our throats. She’s no Julia Roberts, Sigourney Weaver, or even Renée Zellweger. They owned movie roles they were in (Pretty Woman, Aliens, Bridget) and worked their way up to receive more significant roles. Blunt rides on the coattails of more significant costars (Cruise, Gosling, Streep, Hathaway, Murphy) or directors (Nolan, her husband) or cultural originators (Andrews). She has never owned a movie or been that impressive with her acting, and it show with her receiving her only Oscar nomination in Supporting at age 41 for ‘Oppenheimer’ (which was a throwaway / anyone could have played Kitty and gotten nominated).

[quote] Blunt rides on the coattails of more significant costars (Cruise, Gosling, Streep, Hathaway, Murphy) or directors (Nolan, her husband) or cultural originators (Andrews).

How dare she!

[quote] Clearly she has some fangurls on this thread

So people rationally point out how weirdly unhinged, hateful and invested you are in Emily Blunt’s success and it makes them “fangurls.”

You certainly live in a world of extremes, don’t you?

R47, perhaps you should start a thread “Emily Blunt is so pretty and talented” to have your desired “smart” analysis of her career and capabilities? Did you read the OP’s thread title?

I hadn't thought of the American vs British The Office angle before. She should be sharing her evening tea with Martin Freeman, not Krasinski. She's betrayed her people.

She looks like the kind of gal that would rim Dr. Huxtable after he ate a chili dog and drank chocolate milk.

Emily Blunt ran over one of OP’s cats - I assume he has several - and then took the carcass and beat his mother with it as OP helplessly watched.

She then lit the corpse on fire and threw it into OP’s rented trailer, incinerating all his belongings. She then laughed as OP watched his world go up in flames.

Then, just to make it worse, she and John Krasinski made love in front of OP, reminding him of his lonely nights and of the decades it has been since he felt the touch of a man. And now with his Chromebook turned to charcoal, OP can’t even watch midget porn anymore.

His vengeance has only begun.

There’s a reason neither Mary Poppins Returns and Girl on the Train didn’t become the smash hits they could have been. That’s because of Blunt. And her Amazon series The English ended up DOA, too. She’s quite a good actress but her hatchet face and haughty demeanorvput a lot of people off.

[quote] She's betrayed her people.

This thread has officially entered parody territory.

She has no charisma and no sex appeal. She's merely serviceable and won't be remembered once she retires.

I can't believe that we have a Blunt Troll on this board. She isn't enough of anything to warrant stanning to that degree. I have seen it all.

I thought she was really good in My Summer Of Love, but I’ve not liked her in anything since. The other actress has sunk without a trace.

A lot of British people consider Emily Blunt a great beauty, facially exquisite. Her and Geri Halliwell.

R54

[quote]Mary Poppins Returns

I blame that old slag, Angela Lansbury. Just like she ruined Nanny McPhee.

And especially, Mame.

The DL misogynist will blame Blunt rather than Gosling for the movie flopping. Gosling is the bigger name, blame him

R55, are you joking? Blunt and Geri Halliwell? Great beauties? How ugly are the Brits now?!

I just get tired of the same actors showing up on everything.

Use some imagination, Hollywood. Every role doesn’t have to be played by Emily Blunt or Matt Damon.

[quote] I just get tired of the same actors showing up on everything.

Agreed.

Emily Blunt is a sadistic cannibal who hunts down handicapped homeless children to satisfy her twisted cravings. When she’s full, she and her best friend Kristi Noem go hunting for puppies as nothing sounds as sweet to her as a puppy’s final whimper.

Then when she’s done, she burns a British flag and pisses on a picture of the Queen, as she’s a well known traitor to her motherland.

She then goes to nursing homes and lets all the Alzheimer’s patients loose, cackling as they can’t find their way back. Sometimes, she puts out lit cigarettes on their heads just to hear the screams.

Her future plans include poisoning municipal water reservoirs, giving out handguns on the local playground, keying her neighbors’ cars and voting Republican.

OP = Michael Buble.

Maybe OP is one of Emily Blunt’s acting rivals, trying to start a grassroots movement to turn public sentiment against her and get her out of play for the juicy roles.

Only retarded (white) gay men like Emily Blunt.

R66 skipped study hall and is now bullying everyone in the school cafeteria.

A British accent works wonders on the inferiority complex of Americans.

Seriously, R66. Using “gay” as a pejorative on a gay message board?

Go fuck yourself you piece of shit.

R69, you triggered small dick bitch. It’s the audience here, not a PEJORATIVE!

OP is so jealous of Emily Blunt. He wants to be taking that Polish cock every night and living in that Brooklyn mansion.

Pathetic. Jealousy is so ugly.

R71, Emily is so ugly. Not OP. She was even uglier before her nose job and face lift years ago. Google it.

Emily is such a beautiful, regal woman. There’s an elegance and class other actresses can’t emulate. A regal talent.

Her performances are sublime and I will support all of her creative endeavors. Just bought two “Fall Guy” tickets.

This film has legs. Go Emily!

She has an extremely forgettable face.

Timeless beauty. Timeless talent.

We love you, Emily! ❤️

She’s a hatchet faced cunt.

I hated when they got his n hers big Mormon teefs a few years ago - ridiculous.

125M film and it only did28M at the box office opening weekend. I hope they have a damn good streaming contract because this film will not turn a profit in theaters.

This thread is very amusing, the numbers, however, are not.

Emily’s charisma will power this film at the box office. Men want her and women want to be her. This film will have unprecedented legs.

She’s a cultural powerhouse and a breath of upscale air at a box office filled with déclassé performers.

We’re all so fortunate to be living in the age of Emily.

[quote] She has an extremely unforgettable face.

FIFY.

Did she play young Queen Victoria in a critically acclaimed indie about 20 years ago? I remember her getting some good press.

She's very watchable in A Quiet Place. She's best in non-talking roles.

r81 Yes, not speaking was a great start. Now put a paper bag over her head and the Oscars will fall in her lap.

OP, when hating Emily Blunt becomes your raison d'être, you’ve pretty much failed at the game of life.

What the Christ do these people expect?! The movie made $28 million domestically and $65 million internationally. That's a very good showing.

Tell Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt to lower their salaries. And stop charging nearly $20 to go to a goddamn movie.

R84, I believe it opened in over 4,000 theaters in the US. 28M is an abysmal opening for such a promoted film.

[quote] I believe it opened in over 4,000 theaters in the US. 28M is an abysmal opening for such a promoted film.

It was lower than expected but not abysmal. A bit disappointing would be more accurate.

But don’t look for any accuracy from OP. His mentally ill obsession has no room for the truth.

He WILL destroy Emily Blunt, by hook or by crook.

Phase 2 of his plan is even more dastardly.

Remember back in October when she called some waitress “enormous!” Totally fat shamed a poor blue collar worker who was waiting on her. She’s a jerk and good reason not to like her.

R86, 4000 theaters is a wide opening, so 28M is not a promising open weekend for a 125M film. I hope it succeeds but the numbers aren't looking good. As for Emily, I really do not understand her appeal. I wish her well, but she is not star material and would probably be better served in supporting roles.

Emily is a cunt. There, I said it! She rides on the coattails of more bankable costars and directors.

She can’t bring butts to seats and is about to turn 42. Perhaps she is the new Shelley Duvall?

[quote] Emily is a cunt. There, I said it!

Almost 400 times in three days. You’re mentally ill.

Judging from your frequent visits here r83, getting riled up by this purported sole OP appears to be your raison d'être.

Seems like you’re a frequent visitor as well R91, I mean OP, escaped from Bellevue.

She’s had Kate Beckinsale levels of cosmetic surgery.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that the film was based on 40-year-old IP from a mediocre TV show?

Her teeth have become very distracting. She can't quite close her mouth around them anymore. They're really the size of a small sailing vessel. She should kill herself.

R95 How would you suggest?

Hatchet faced? She's gorgeous. I don't know what's wrong with the eyes on this thread.

Now John has a big nose, but he is pretty cute regardless with a killer bod now, and looks like he has BDE.

The dress wears her. She’s not commanding or statuesque, r97, and her facelift is now chockfull of fillers.

She has a plainness to her. Can’t figure out why. She’s also incredibly boring and charisma free… Like holy hell, I could find community theater kids with more personality and star power.

[quote] I could find community theater kids with more personality and star power.

Would they be interested in auditioning for super hero movies and/or pool parties?

Her PR is posting in this thread

Please, r5. She resembles Jennifer Lawrence there.

She’s a classic British stage school actor - technically skilled, hits one or two notes quite well (in her case, smugness and tiredness), no soul, you can always see her acting.

If she were a little bit more charismatic on screen and more talented, she would be an Eddie Redmayne or Vanessa Kirby.

She’s extremely boring and comes off as a bitch. Nothing interesting about her or her one note actor husband.

She doesn’t come across as classically trained. She’s a terrible actress.

She gives me the impression of having climbed her way up using unethical means. I know that's not unusual in this industry, but she seems to ooze that vibe. Maybe I'm being unfair and the opposite is actually true - the "off" vibe I get from her is because she's actually a lovely, down-to-earth gal who struggles to fake the phoney persona of a famous actress - but there's something about her that just doesn't "work".

Her Uncle Crispin is a slimy creep.

She’s never truly led a movie. There is no signature Emily Blunt film due to the fact that she’s NOT a leading actress due to her marginal talent. I think she slept around from Bublé to Krasinski and his hair transplant.

OP’s therapist is still waiting for his weekly check in.

OP will not rest until Emily Blunt is DESTROYED!

OP has a list of all the ladies married to hot men who wouldn’t fuck him, and he will not rest until each name on that list has a black line scratched through it.

Post your headshot, OP, you fucking cunt.

Ryan Gosling has been doing a ton of press. Guess it's not working very well.

What shall we name the “anti-OP” Emily Blunt fangurl?

Normal and sane R113.

No one likes Margot Robbie.

So I didn’t really care about her one way or the other. Then I heard that interview from years ago where she made fun of a fat waitress whose only crime was being kind to Blunt at a Chili’s. I figured that was trashy (of Blunt) but maybe she was just nervous or something. Then during the press junket for Oppenheimer she did Jimmy Kimmel’s show with RDJ and Cillian Murphy. She walked in a few seconds before the men, sat down in the middle seat and kicked her feet up in the air for a few seconds. In the forty years I’ve watched chat shows I have NEVER seen anyone else do this. Grown adults are usually content to just walk in and sit down.

But she HAD to kick her feet up. Why?

Because she wanted EVERYBODY to see the crimson soles of her shoes so they know she’s wearing Laboutins. That was when I decided she was a shallow mean girl for real.

lol, she's an actress, it's always gonna be about her...she's gonna take the spotlight anyway she can

R116 she’s constantly giving interviews about, not quite about how shit America is, but almost. She did one with Brian Cox the actor. He gets away with it by being crotchety and old, she doesn’t.

She became a citizen as a necessary step to be accepted in her very calculated pathway to Hollywood leading (in her case, co-starring) roles. When she became a citizen, she said really nasty things that implied the US is inferior to the UK.

Emily Blunt is beautiful. OP’s thread title is mortifying.

she's not beautiful. before and after the plastic surgery.

Beautiful? She’s not even cute by any standards. English women are exceptionally ugly.

R122 it’s like how Kate Middleton, internationally is considered a pretty English Rose with great legs. But in terms of British women, she’s more than that, she’s Helen of Troy, a 1%er.

Island living gives rise to certain “looks”. Not many men on the street look like Hugh Grant. Many more resemble Eddie Marsan.

The movie isn't a big draw because people are still in "Ken" mode with Ryan. And where was the PR?

As for Emily: Her face is too angular, too basic. What attracts one to it? Nothing in particular.

R2 = The DL Resident Critic and Contrarian. He 💟 Emily Blunt, Timmy, and The Villages! And he has pity for the rest of us.

she’s just boring and basic. born rich, uppity smug attitude, mediocre acting skills. i don’t know why she keeps being pushed onto us peasants as an idol, i prefer my overlords to be good looking at least

[quote]A British accent works wonders on the inferiority complex of Americans.

I think you're referring to Liberals/Democrats, who tend to be Europhiles and self-loathing about being American.

Conservatives/Republicans are the opposite of that -- very patriotic and do not have an inferiority complex, especially when it comes to Europeans, who they don't really consider.

Why do you think many Americans are shifting right?

Among other things, they're seeing how bad the Left is making Americans look via 'woke' Hollywood/Broadway, which has pushed an anti-America messaging in the past decade.

Thus, many Americans no longer identify with the so-called American characters being portrayed on screen/stage, usually by foreigners.

ROFLMAO, r51. Literally. Thanks for that.

Also, sites like DataLounge (with mainly gay liberal American posters) give off the impression that all Americans are pessimistic, self-loathing Europhiles.

Nope. Just gay liberals -- a gloomy, self-hating bunch, with a hard-on for Europeans.

Oh, and liberal women, too.

Gay and female liberals are the ones who tend to be Europhiles and self-loathing about being American.

And they're the ones who've been running the U.S. entertainment industry in the past decade.

Is it any wonder why Hollywood and Broadway are the way they are today, with an anti-America bias and so many European actors?

There's a new animosity towards England since 2020 in America. Kids go on about empire, colonialism, slavery, reparations, blaming the Gaza mess on them, etc.

Two words, r27: PRESIDENT BIDEN.
