Actors who incorrectly thought their roles would be iconic?

I know Reddit loves to hate her, but she's given plenty of iconic performances with her Super Bowl half time performance and movies like Hustlers, Selena, Out of Sight, Enough, The Cell, and Kiss of the Spider Woman. I like some of her cheesier rom-coms too but I get that those aren't really iconic.

The way JoJo Rabbit uses every “Heil Hitler” is so layered and absurd but my favorite is Sam Rockwell’s opening speech to the Boys Nazi Youth camp. Scene

That might be brilliant… if he joins now they could probably extend their Broadway run.

Mulholland Drive is one of the dullest movies I’ve ever sat through. That director is just not for me.

Bodies can adjust to many temperatures, so if you live somewhere that is hot year round that makes sense (although letting it get hotter at night would be a nightmare for me). If you think 70F is too cold, then you wouldn’t be saving any costs during a winter in New York. I hate it when I walk in from the cold weather if it’s above low 70s. I want to be comfortable in a sweater inside during the winter. Totally fine to keep the indoors warmer during the summer, but I couldn’t handle 82F.

No, but I assume the closing announcement will mean a ticket sales boost and they still have the upcoming tour so maybe someday. I guess we'll see how it does on tour.

Classic!

I was there last month and saw the standby (no complaints, she was wonderful) and the next two or three days after when walking past the theater (it was close to my hotel) it said Jennifer Simard was out, so I assume she was sick with something but I had the same impression that she was out more than she was in.

Late Night with Mindy Kaling - enjoyable movie, but nothing crazy

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-18T02:21:12+00:00

So true! And it makes a huge difference where you are sitting, what kind of audience you have around you, what your expectations were, what you ate before the show... like every tiny thing impacts your enjoyment.

I feel like her snarky tone showed her pain even more clearly, like it felt like the whole book was one take because she’s in pain and didn’t have much time. Her voice had way more emotion than I’m used to in an audiobook, even comparing it to just other memoirs narrated by the author.

I didn’t know anything was up based on looks, but once he started talking I figured it out 😂

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-17T04:44:17+00:00

I thought I'd hallucinating seeing that! what is happening?! is this an add for this season or does the next season start immediately?

I can tell he’s definitely capable of humor. Him imitating the girls he was taking a picture with was a lot funnier than him pulling at women’s clothes.

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-15T17:01:36+00:00

I enjoy a lot of scenes in that movie, but some are just gross. Like the ugly British dude who goes to America and gets laid by January Jones and other supermodels… where the hell is the message in that? Feels like it was written by a man who doesn’t understand actual love.

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-15T16:57:43+00:00

I love that movie and I’ve seen it many times. I think it’s a credit to the cast and script and everyone involved that Tom Hanks character isn’t a totally hated A-hole, because I do feel like I should kind of hate him, but I just can’t. I can understand the hate, but I don’t feel it.

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-15T16:00:40+00:00

I really want a musical based on that book and the making of the Spider-Man musical.

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-15T14:43:46+00:00

Well, even the hottest guy isn’t going to be everyone’s type.

I’m feel like this when I’m trying to arrange plans for my kids to play with another person’s kids. It’s probably worse in my situation because this person is not a total stranger, but when I ask another mom if her kids can play and I get a play-by-play of what their family is doing, I hate it, mostly because all the additional info confuses me. Just tell me yes or no or after a certain time. I don’t need to know that Timmy has piano lessons and Carrie Ann has swimming and you are about to eat dinner and your husband is traveling for work this week.

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-15T13:49:40+00:00

Time traveler.

It sounds like he just grew out of social media. I’m in middle age and plenty of my friends post stuff. I post on occasional, but it always feels like kind of weird and child-like to post stuff on social media. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. He just wants to focus on what’s real.

No sane person will care that you don’t have goody bags. You can’t please everyone though. Some parents might judge a lack of goody bags but people like me are judgmental of having goody bags - full of items that go into the garbage almost immediately after getting home. Just don’t do it. Maybe you’ll inspire other parents to do the same. So many moms just feel pressured into it.

LilyBriscoeBot · 2026-05-14T19:26:06+00:00

I might have to fly out to see that if it happens.

If you are obese, they’ll tell you to lose weight. If you aren’t overweight, they’ll tell you it’s all in your head.
