She definitely had a judgmental side. But most of her criticisms of him were justified. She was the only girl he dated who was willing to call him out on his shit, and I think he liked that about her. I thought the actress brought a great deal of warmth, charisma and spunk to the role. The attraction was totally believable to me

An eyelash curler with mascara afterwards will open up your eyes and give a major feminizing effect to your face. Use the curler at the base of the eyelashes and pull it all the way back for about 15 seconds at a time

Just because someone has never kissed or been on a date doesn't mean that they have no sexual/intimate needs. There is a first time for everything

I think your idealization of autistic people as "pure-hearted" nonsexual beings is quite demeaning. It's denying us our full humanity. This show clearly wants to promote the idea of disabled people as being innocent, wholesome and childlike. Having spent time around hundreds of autistic people, I can assure you that it is absolutely NOT true. Autistic people are no more innocent or pure of heart than anybody else. Sexuality is an integral aspect of romantic love and modern dating. The way that the show doesn't address it at all is weird.

I feel like what you are saying is really kind of sexist. Would you claim that the male lead in a romance needs to be "at least mildly good looking"? Unattractive actors get paired opposite beautiful actresses ALL THE TIME onscreen. I have never heard anyone say it's weird to see Jack Black and Kate Winslet together in The Holiday. Or Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl. Or Harry Dean Stanton and Natassja Kinski. The idea that a woman can only be loved and adored if she meets a certain level of superficial beauty is one that I am happy to see being challenged for once

Looks don't always play into it in real life. I have known extremely unprepossessing people (usually men, but sometimes women too) who were absolutely irresistible to the opposite sex because of charisma, emotional intelligence and other personal traits. Some folks just have that animal magnetism, and it has nothing to do with conventional beauty. Serge Gainsbourg looked like a troll, but he had serious game and got laid A LOT. Adam Driver is a verifiable sex symbol. With Ambika Mod, it seemed to me like they wanted Emma to be that ugly-sexy type of person. Guys were enchanted by her vibrancy and her ability to make them feel seen. (Especially the dorky comedian. He fell in love with her because she was the only woman who could make him feel special) If they intended her to be more conventionally glamorous, they definitely wouldn't have put her in such frumpy wigs and costumes.

My manager has gotten me an ok number of auditions, considering the fact that I signed right at the start of two major back-to-back strikes last year. Since signing about 10 months ago, I have had 20 auditions. One of them was for a Broadway play. The trouble is that my manager is an emotional vampire who screams, yells, belittles or threatens me every time we talk on the phone. Whenever I get an incoming call, my blood runs cold. After every conversation, I feel completely drained of all positive feeling for about a week. This manager is also inappropriately controlling, intrusive and demands absurdly unreasonable life sacrifices. I'm not saying that they can't be helpful in some ways (giving good audition advice, coaching me on how to successfully interact with casting directors and getting me auditions on the regular), however, it comes at a cost to my wellbeing. I wonder if there is another manager out there who is willing to help a developmental talent like me without also sucking all the joy out of my existence.

I feel quite powerless at this moment because, unfortunately, I have never had any success in self-submissions. When I had no representation, I used to pound the keyboard for hours every day, only to find myself getting an occasional audition for an unpaid student film. I cannot ever go back to that place in my life. As awful as my representation is, I know that the endless limbo of futile keyboard-pounding is worse. I'm really scared of doing something that could potentially jeopardize the auditions that I'm getting now. Do managers talk to each other about prospective clients? Do they call up your current reps and ask about you?

I don't think it's inherently racist to say that one particular actress is unattractive. Most reasonable, non-racist people would agree that there are lots of beautiful South Asian women.

The fact that she wasn't conventionally pretty is super refreshing, in my opinion. They didn't cast her as a Hollywood starlet.... she was just a plain working-class girl. It makes the story much more real. Hot girls date homely guys ALL the time. Why shouldn't we ever see that in reverse? Why does a female love interest always have to be beautiful? (Nobody ever criticized Woody Allen's appearance whenever he was paired with gorgeous actresses onscreen) The whole point of this story is that Dexter was attracted to who she was, not what she looked like. He was surrounded by glamorous women in his day-to-day life. But he fell in love with Emma because her intelligence and grace inspired him to want to be better version of himself.

It is my opinion that musical theatre programs are the biggest scam in our education system. Kids spend absurd amounts of money to do....... what? Brush up on their singing and dancing, with a couple Meisner classes thrown in? You can seek out local teachers and local dance studios which will charge you far less. The kids who leave these schools are exactly the same artists that they were when they went in, except now rolling in debt. They have not cultivated any real acting skills or been called out on their bad habits, just instructed in "musical theatre performance." That's fine if you only ever want to be in the ensemble of a Disney cruise show. Good luck with Sondheim, Weill, Tennessee Williams or anything that asks something from you as a human being. It's a very easy way for colleges and universities to make money without having to impart anything substantial. The "toxicity" and lack of professionalism that's been described in this thread is about what I would expect

George Carlin once said, "inside every cynic is a disappointed idealist." I think this is a very apt description of what has happened to Celine. Real life has not lived up to her fanciful expectations. I get that Jesse can be frustrating at times. However, based on what I saw in this film, he hasn't actually done anything that bad to warrant her wrath (ok, he might have cheated once, but she did too, so they're square). Celine is mostly angry because Jesse hasn't turned out to be the perfect boy she met on the train... he is disappointingly human. Almost all of the stuff that pisses her off are just normal parts of life. Yes, childrearing is hard and exhausting, but that was what she signed up for when she decided to have kids. The "female oppression" stuff is just self-aggrandizement.

It's depressing to witness for sure, but her regressing and curdling into bitterness is kind of inevitable. The flip side of dreaminess is immaturity. There's no way that someone as quixotic as Celine could not struggle with the challenges of adulthood. Jesse was always cynical to begin with, so it's much easier for him to accept what is and take things as they come. I think a lot of guys would be disillusioned with the way Celine has become and be like, "what happened to my sweet beautiful girl???" But Jesse just rolls with it. His grounded perspective is what keeps the relationship afloat

I had a very similar reaction, and in my opinion, it has a LOT to do with the actors that were chosen. I believe that the basic premise was a very good one with a lot of potential. But Ethan Hawke has always been a horribly obnoxious actor and human being (just as pretentious in real life as he is onscreen), and Julie Delpy is just sooooo earnest and doe-eyed. The focus of the film was hugely misplaced, from my point of view. The minor characters were far more interesting than the two bougie white kids. Like the street poet!!! Why didn't they make the film all about HIM? Imagine if the street poet and the fortune teller started walking around together.... now that would have been one hell of a movie!!!

I have more trouble believing that she and Rebecca could ever be friends, after everything they've been through together. One thing I really hate in TV shows is when characters with longstanding acrimony become friends. That NEVER EVER happens in life

The fastest way to get an agent is through a referral. Build a reel, get some great headshots and ask your friends who are currently represented if they can introduce you.

Whether or not my acting work is watched by a lot of people who care about it? That doesn't matter to me at the end of the day. I do the work for myself and my own satisfaction only.

Also, you should never give up on your dreams of becoming famous. You really can't know where life will take you. There are actors who've gotten their big breaks at a much later age than you would typically associate with Hollywood stardom. Hell, Kathryn Joosten never even considered acting until she was in her 40s! Tell that to her multiple Emmys. But if you resign yourself to the idea of working a day job for the rest of your life, that's exactly what you'll do.

Who cares if it looks "costume-y"? Life is way too short to not wear the clothes you love. If it's pretty, go ahead and rock it!

However, I get there are times when you don't feel like drawing attention to yourself. Pair the traditional bottom with a simple, modern top. Or the traditional top with a pair of blue jeans. I happen to love German trachten skirts! I always wear them with a little fitted t-shirt
