i find the dilution of the pro palestine cause into stan wars re ‘this celeb’s boyfriend liked a zionist instagram post!’ to be flatly offensive towards palestinians honestly
like I’m a film critic lmao am I supposed to file my reviews with “actor name (possible zionist)” all over it? like where do you want me to put that information? what am I supposed to do with it, logically?

Melanie Lynskey's been playing American so long, people forget or never knew that she's from New Zealand. I worked on a NZ film called THE CHANGEOVER; a friend saw it and said "Melanie's Kiwi accent was a little off", and I'm like....that is her literal speaking voice.
Who is one actor or actress that had an amazing American accent and you were surprised they were not American?

Last night was pure magic. Talking to Disney animation legends Ron Clements and John Musker about the making of THE LITTLE MERMAID was a delight. These artists are behind several movies that mean so much to me. Thank you to @EgyptianLA and @LAFilmCritics for making it happen!
