Saleka....


She is distractingly odd looking. She reminds me of a living "Thumb Wars" character.

I know she's his daughter and he's determined to make her happen, but guess what? She can't act. At all.

reply

I agree. I kept trying to figure out what it was. Some pics of her are cute but in this movie she has these giant bug eyes. She sings good but her acting is flat. And Josh isn't much better in this. Seems miscast to me.

reply

Looks a bit like the singer Mya.

reply

Yes, she definitely has some Mya qualities. Mya just has a bit more face to contain those massive eyeballs and mouth.

reply

Well on the one hand, you should help your kids out when you can.

I think if you look at her character as a created popstar, a la Taylor Swift, it works.

reply

"You should help your kids out when you can."
Fuck you. And your kids.
Nepotism has NO PLACE IN ARTS.

reply

Look, just because your dad didn't cast you in his production doesn't mean you have to get mad.

reply

I am not mad because my dad did not cast me.
I am mad because her dad cast her for no merit, other than her being his daughter.

reply

If you got a kid, you try to help them. He's a director, he cast her.

The movie was okay - would have you preferred he cast Taylor Swift?

reply

1 the movie was shit
2 the movie was even more shit because of his nepotism
3 anybody else would have done a better job at that, certainly including Taylor Swift.
4 help your kids by letting them show what they are worth, not by HANDING THEM A ROLE IN YOUR OWN MOVIE.

reply

Do you hate Hitchcock for casting his daughter?

reply

Hitch gave her a couple of bit parts, not the co-lead, Shyamalan.

reply

Which is a pretty good reason for him to cast her

reply

Cranach the younger
Holbein the younger
van de Velde the younger
Brueghel the younger
...yeah, all have no place in arts...

reply

Fuck them all in the arse and their daddy too.

Leonardo Da Vinci was the bastard kid of a notary who never recognized him.
There you go, and that bunch on nepotism nobodies too.

reply

Oh...did Daddy not support you? Cry harder!

reply

1 no, he did
2 that has nothing to do with anything we are discussing here
3 that's your lame ass ethics? Since YOU don't have something, you think others should not have them either?
You should write a philosophy essay based on such strong values and morals, I'm sure it would be a success.

reply

The painters I mentioned were even more famous than their fathers. To call them "nobodies" is just stupid.

reply

I am going after the fact that the painters you mentioned, albeit great artists no doubt, are nobodies compared to the big names in history (like Leonardo).

reply

You’re an idiot. You need to quit your bitching and whining. Nepotism has no place in Politics, but it’s perfectly fine (and a long tradition) in the arts. Look at the Coppolas, the Baldwins, Fonda, Carradines, Sheens, Wayans… I could go on and on.

But admit it, you’re just a misogynist incel who didn’t amount to anything in life, so you are blaming it all on others. Grow up.

reply

The only one bitching and whining here is you, little cunt.

Nepotism has NO PLACE in arts.
Live with it.

reply

lol, re-read the whole thread dumbass. You are sitting there on your fat ass yelling at everyone, complaining about Nepotism... who hurt you as a little boy? Was it daddy? Sure sounds like it. Get help, you're a pathetic little worm and there's no need to take it out on others.

reply

Troll, you cannot even re-read anything.

That's not a required skill when all you want to do is troll.

reply

Haha, look who's talking. Your very first angry response on this whole thread was:

"Fuck you. And your kids.
Nepotism has NO PLACE IN ARTS."

You are the troll here dumbass. And you obviously don't have the IQ points to come back with a better response, you just lash out in anger. Looking at your other posts, it's clear you're a small, pathetic, racist, misogynistic incel troll. On the Julia Roberts thread you posted:

"Her grin is obscene.
I am more offended to see that than to see her cunt."

Seriously!? What the fuck is wrong with you!? No wonder you've never had a girlfriend!

You're such a small, pathetic little angry boy, bitter at the whole world for your own failings. Grow up and get a life...

reply

Yaaaaawn......
Are you EVER gonna say anything interesting in your life?
Or is this pathetic, pointless trolling all you've got?

I have 6700 movie posts here, you have to pick on a few which are, obviously to anybody but the idiot troll, intended to be funny because abrasive.

You have 147 posts here, ALL of which are just BORING trollish attack on other users.
You are kindly invited to get off the planet asap.

reply

But they're not funny. And yes, you have WAY more posts on here because you have no life! This is all that you do. I myself actually work in the film industry, so I'm usually busy, but when I see idiot trolls like you, I hunt them down!

And you just gave yourself away Einstein... yes, the user Heisenberg and the user Einstein are the same person! (ironic that the lowest IQ person on these forums had to give himself "genius" names to feel better about himself! haha)

You and Einstein talk the same, I've seen the interactions between you two/with yourself. That's extra pathetic that you created a second account just to support your first account since no one else does (everyone sees through your bullshit, I'm not the only one calling you out as a Troll.) 6700 posts!? Jeezus fucking christ, get a life! You're pathetic.

reply

Oh my God, you are the shittiest troll I've ever seen.

So it sounds like you are trolling me and Einstein too.

But look, since you can ONLY post shitty troll posts here, and have such a great life somewhere else, please: fuck off of MC, go back to your real life, and kill yourself.

reply

Telling me to kill myself is a serious international crime. Screenshotted and reported. You fucked up Heisenstein!

reply

So, not only you are a shitty troll with no sense of humor.
You are ALSO touchy about it!

reply

dude! wtf is wrong with you heisenberg!? you can't tell people to go kill themselves and looking at this thread you are the one trolling everyone with your angry attitude. get over yourself you are a really messed up person and need serious psychological help!!!

reply

She wasn't so bad

reply

I liked her. She wrote the songs and has trained to be a classical pianist.
She, to me, is far more attractive than Lady Gaga.

I saw Trap at a pre-screening so it has been a while, but her songs, if one payed attention, went seamlessly with the plot of the movie.

reply

She's cute but in a surreal kind of way. She looks like a life-size Bratz doll, especially with all that makeup.

reply

Does Josh Harnett still have that goofy bowl haircut after all of these years since H20?? I'm convinced that's what did his Career in was the hairdo??

reply

She was fucking terrible! I did buy her on the stage, though.
