base talk Did Rachel McAdams make the right choice?

[nostalgia]

Rachel McAdams made a wise choice by prioritizing her Oscar campaign for "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" over participating in the Mean Girls reunion commercial for Walmart.

This decision showcases her commitment to her craft and the pursuit of more substantial, critically acclaimed projects. By focusing on a role that earned her acclaim from critics and garnered award nominations, Rachel demonstrates a dedication to her artistic growth and recognition for her talent beyond the confines of a nostalgic reunion.

 

The move reinforces her standing as a versatile and respected actress, allowing her to explore diverse roles that contribute to her professional evolution.

 

Ultimately, Rachel's decision reflects a commitment to her craft and a desire to be recognized for her current and future contributions in the film industry.

Queen  

[WEEKND]

Being busy is the greatest flex ever especially when it’s true. 
 

[stoopidjenna]

As far as I can tell, she barely wants to leave her family to act in actual films. No way was she going to do that for a Walmart commercial.

[HASHTAGPOW]

This is very Regina George of her 

[PaloSanto]

well, yes

[popmusicisdead]

yes. she was too busy being an acclaimed working actress. the other girls, aside from Amanda, can't relate

[Mean Trees]

She won't acknowledge Mean Girls until she wins an Oscar (even though they're meaningless in 2023).

[Digitalism]

There's nothing award worthy about that performance 

And how is she bussy when she has literaly no projects comming? Dumb move. 

[SoldierofLove]

Absolutely. As cute as the commercials are, they’re for Wal-Mart. Mean Girls deserved better. The girls should’ve held out for something more prestigious than a Wal-Mart commercial. 
 

I guess the pay cheque must’ve been nice. 

[modeblock]

yeah...she's already really wealthy so, like it's has-been vibes walmart ad vs. Oscars for her - I'll tell you which one I'd choose... 

[LCTV]

This is so Regina coded.

[aesthetic bih]

She knows her priorities. Plus I think she has confidence that she's gonna nail the film so she put it first 

[blackoutbritney]

Why can’t she do both

Literally 0 correlation?

Walmart is the biggest retailer in the US, Mean Girls one of the most popular movies ever (and her most beloved role) so if anything having her face all over TV and social media during this season would only help her case considering she barely leaves the house

 

Get you a talented legend who can do it all (and turned down Marvel showcasing her commitment to her craft and the pursuit of more substantial, critically acclaimed projects. By focusing on roles that earned her acclaim from critics and garnered her Oscar nominee, Emmy winning status among many other accolades)

Wow, she was asked a question about it and answered it. So shocking. When she goes out of her way to bring it up in an interview then call me.

[Fitzswiftie]

Her career post 2015 (after her slump) has been pretty spectacular 

 

15 - Spotlight - box office hit, best picture winner, Oscar winner 

16 - Doctor Strange - nice marvel pay check without being tied down 

17 - Disobedience - acclaimed indie drama and lesbian classic

18 - Game Night - box office hit, new comedy classic, “oh no he died”

20 - Eurovision - Netflix hit, new comedy classic, Oscar nominated bop, “play ja ja ding dong”

22 - Doctor Strange - nice marvel pay check without being tied down 

23 - Are You There God? - future classic, peak school cinema, winning awards.

Ok, here's Rachel being asked out of ALL her roles which one would she like to play again and her picking Regina George 

(should autoplay but its around the 4:29:35 mark)

 

 

Rachel loves Mean Girls and Regina, there's a misconception she doesn't because she's not on social media so you don't see her talking about it as much as the others do (like Amanda is always sharing throwbacks and referencing it on IG) but just in general you never see her out and about, she only pops up to promote a current project once every 3 years (and that's still the one role she is always asked about - and she always answers graciously/excitedly, I can post multiple instances of her talking about it this year while promoting her latest movie per example.)

 

Rachel is also older, it's normal that Lindsay and Amanda in particular seem to care/understand the movie's impact more because they're millennials/the original target generation that embraced and grew up with it.

 

She did the 10th anniversary reunion with the others as well.

And the virtual reunion.

 

 

So it really makes no sense to act like she pays it dust
