Please explain it to me, because I just don't get it. I think she's one of the worst actresses ever, and she looks like a … well, let's just say I don't understand why people say she's attractive at all. And it goes way beyond just her dead eyes.

So, what am I missing? When has she ever really acted? Give me something, please.

Are you being channeled by Smokeyroan?
Who are you and what have you done with Dan?

A Gentleman would never comment on the looks of a woman in a public forum.
That's why I suspect Smokeyroan is involved. grin

I thought she was great in "Secretary".

Smokey? Why. Did he talk about actresses like this regularly?

Anyway, I never really talk like this about actresses. Her acting just gets under my skin in every role I see her in, and I couldn't contain myself any longer.

And then hearing the other characters in the films talk about how beautiful she is always makes me wonder if the movie is a serious one or some sort of comedy. That's what makes me ask about her looks.

She was quite good in "Stranger Than Fiction", the only good Will Ferrell movie I've seen.

Cultural illiterate that I am, I never heard of her.

Jake, now, I've seen in films. Are they related, or
is the shared surname mere happenstance ?

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP15 Mar 2018 7:03 a.m. PST

They are brother and sister.

I hadn't seen this before, about Jake:

I think it's funny, considering the quality of some of the actors Peter Jackson has gone with in the past.

Although I'm quite familiar with her name, I was surprised to note that I've only seen her in one film— The Dark Knight. A single performance really is nothing I can judge her on, and I don't recall thinking she was either poor or great. She was at least believable as Bruce's love interest (taking over the Katie Holmes role, I believe), because I don't remember thinking otherwise. (I was more distracted by Heath Ledger's overacting as The Joker, which I am something of a rarity in considering it the worst portrayal of the character I've ever seen.)

She seems kinda quirky, have seen her in a few movies, I like her brother in a few movies

Indeed. Also enjoyed her in "The Dark Knight."

I was also really impressed by her stage performance in "Homebody/Kabul".

I vaguely remember her from some of her movies, nothing recent.

She reminds me of Betty Boop. I don't think she is ugly but I can think of hundreds of actresses I find more attractive.

Don't think most people regard her as "attractive." I certainly don't. Don't like her particularly, but don't hate her either.

Her brother Jake ('Donnie Darko,' 'Nightcrawler') is a better actor and more famous. Just stay away from 'Prince of Persia.'

I hadn't realized that Smokeyroan was back, with a bunch of disciples.
