#but tatiana is a really charming and talented actress

[magnetic-rose]

there’s a lot of discourse about jen’s speech to bruce about rage and like... her being right about needing to regulate her anger as a woman AND the mcu’s continuous issue of ignoring bruce’s mental illness & childhood abuse being very frustrating can be two ideas that co-exist. because there was nothing wrong about jen’s speech about controlling her anger and dudebros getting bent out of shape over it is literally proving her point lol.

at the same time, bruce isn’t just some privileged dude who can’t control his emotions. his condition comes from years of childhood abuse and undiagnosed DID. it has been really frustrating being a bruce banner fan in the mcu because he’s become such a joke of a character. this is a character whose first appearance had him admitting to committing suicide. and then after 2012 avengers he was just never taken seriously again.

idk, man. bruce is a mentally ill ca survivor. his stories in the comics always emphasis that aspect: that he’s a survivor and perseveres and continues to try to better himself. every time he shows up in the mcu i’m worried if he’s just there to be a meme and not taken seriously.

THIS is the banner i want to see. not hipster, silly, funny banner who just exists to make stupid jokes and then get nerfed when it’s convenient for the writers. bruce is a badass and a tragic character. let him be badass and tragic smdh.

#she hulk #bruce banner #mcu #.... i will say some things about she hulk gives me a bit of hope #the first episode hinted at his DID which is a step in the right direction #and his obviously jealous at jen's ease could be interesting #at the same time idk if i trust the mcu like that #i did like everything else about she hulk #(... almost everything i think the way she got her powers was weird and lazy) #but tatiana is a really charming and talented actress #jen is always a fun character

8th Annual Cristal Connors Film Awards: BEST FEATURED ACTRESS

WINNER-

Jacki Weaver as “Agnieszka” in Widows

Goes for broke with bold, stylish choices, each of which are delightful and work completely, stomping all over her inexplicably minimal screen time with an unbridled glee, walking right up to the line of histrionics and somehow fashioning a real woman out of it.

NOMINEES-

Nicoletta Braschi as “Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna” in Happy as Lazzaro

Earns the nickname “Poison Viper,” she physically embodies an old fashioned regality and pompousness that are, of course, off-putting, but somehow charming, personifying most aptly the stagnant, exploitative ruling class that’s on trial in this film.

Tatiana Maslany as “Petra” in Destroyer

Physical, transformative work that doesn’t succumb to the typical, tired cliches of fucked-up addict roles, and isn’t concerned with wether or not she’s likable, instead crafting a fully formed creation, one with real fears and insecurities.

Natasha Rothwell as “Ms. Albright” in Love, Simon

A riotously funny standout performance, taking her shot at a potentially forgettable bit part in a big studio film and really running with it, exuding charm and throwing her comedic all into her performance, stealing every scene she’s in along the way.

Elaine Tan as “Elyse” in Tully

For gracefully allowing herself to be the butt of every joke, for still crafting a whole, complete character even though she didn’t really need to, and for the line readings “Siri, play hip hop,” and, when asked what her young daughter is performing for her talent show, “Pilates.”

Translation: Q&A with Morgan Ciprès

He discovered figure skating by chance when he was five. He is from a family of athletes 'but who do not know a thing about figure skating', Morgan likes everything: cycling, football, rollerblading... and discovered skating a day where the skating rink of Dammarie-les-Lys (Seine-et-Marne), close to his home for an open day. 'When I came there, I discovered skating and I liked it'. By chance, former Worlds and European champion, Alain Giletti, was there. He saw Morgan’s potential and encouraged his parents to make him join the skating club. And they did. Morgan was a solo skater first. He only became a pairs skater at 19 years old in 2010 and only wanted one and only partner: his friend Vanessa James. In May 2010, she split with her partner Yannick Bonheur.
