base talk Angelina Jolie FLOPS massively with ''Maria''

The nosedive her career took over the last decade or so really needs to be studied. At one point she was looking like she'd have a career like Meryl or Nicole Kidman but the way Hollywood dropped her like a hot potato is shocking. 

How familiar are you with Jolie's filmography and overall career trajectory? Cause this is all pretty wrong. Angelina's most notable roles were in action movies (Lara Croft, Salt, Mr & Mrs Smith, Wanted) that the critics never cared for. She was never following Meryl/Nicole's niche of dramatic performances and she was especially not following their hectic yearly schedule. She slowed down after starting her family and she works and promotes far less than every other A-list actress. The "last decade or so" can't be a nosedive since Maleficent is bigger than anything she did the previous decade and Hollywood definitely has not dropped her considering Marvel paid big money for her to be on Eternals and tried to use her name to salvage it

You're always so pressed that TWO TIME ACADEMY AWARD RECIPIENT is still highly beloved throughout the world (something your faves aren't because they never make it outside of one market, two when they're being lucky) and if you don't believe me just go check, she's been sitting pretty on the top 10 of the most admired and beloved women and overall celebs for years on end now. 

 

She has been the highest paid actress several times especially in the 2010s when supposedly according to you her career took a nosedive.  

 

She's such a "flop" that Disney is still giving green light to her projects like Maleficent 3 when Miss Aniston is still having to play sidekick to nostalgia act Adam Sandler because she can't carry any movie as lead

 

She's getting major raves for Maria such as standing ovation in major film festivals (you wouldn't know what that is, it's reserved for cinephiles and film lovers, you stan celebrities that play second rate characters with no longevity or impact) and still getting award nominations left and right. In fact just the upcoming good year of 2025 will begin with her sitting gorgeously pretty nominated for both a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice award - which is pretty strange for an actress who has, allegedly and according to you, nosedive is a complete flop with only smoke and mirrors. And believe me many more award and nominations will be coming out. 

 

She's also using her time, platform, power, fame, money and status to support humanitarian causes (which you'll probably try to downplay/drag which only shows anyone's true colors whenever people try to discredit this kind of goodwill) while some other people are out there supporting domestic abusers and child beaters. 

 

She has a family in which all her children love and adore her and she recently opened up her own artistic studio, where iconic artist Jean Basquiat used as his own professional base. 

 

Hope this was civil enough and please don't bother quoting or replying to me otherwise I will be taking action and ask the moderators to deal accordingly with your legitimate hateful passive-aggression towards a former victim of domestic abuse who is using her craft to tell stories about powerful and talented women who were subjected to spiteful hate and misogyny.

I mean, it's out on Netflix  consumers from Netflix are not necessarily known for their good taste.

Should've been a Mubi release

[dawnettakins]

Embarassing thread. Who would ever expect a biopic to be a huge smash? Literally no one.

 

You really tried it. And clearly have worms for brains stanning for a has-been and box offic poison Jennifer Aniston.

Can only imagine her speech. Help 

 

I wanted Demi to get in

Who cares if her movie flopped? Angelina Jolie has done more for this world than most people ever will. Millions of women and kids have benefited from her kindness and generosity. She doesn't need another box office hit to prove anything.

People who are still living in the Angelina vs Jenifer bubble in 2024 need some serious help, thats all im gonna say to that

[Mariya Takeuchi]

Jennifer Aniston is a safe, bland, overhyped celebrity who peaked in the 90s but hasn't gotten the memo that her time is up. It's time to stop giving her airtime just because she had great hair 30 years ago

People still bringing up Jennifer to derail the conversation.

Perhaps mods need to distribute warning points.

Lara Croft has a 20% on RT

 

People were lynching Gaga over 30% with Joker 2, but a 20% movie that gets listed first in your notable roles for Angelina who is an amazing actress with a top tier filmography apparently.

[spiritboy]

I didn't know that it was on Netflix already. A very famous Turkish actor, Haluk Bilginer is starring as Onassis so i am definitely gonna watch it. Though why did they cast a Turkish actor for a Greek role remains a mystery.

That... was the point

Lara Croft was a smash. It became the first video game adaptation to cross 200M at the box office and remained the most successful one for almost an entire decade until Resident Evil came out. It is one of Angelina's most notable roles and the fact that critics hated it is exactly why I mentioned it; to show she was never going for a Meryl / Nicole type of career

 

And what does Gaga have to do with anything?

Not a mid-off

Legend Jolie having these peasants seething, we love to see it.

[Eternium]

You have to be genuinely weird to hate either Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston. I know we fight about some dumb **** on here, but y'all are making us look really stupid. 

[OrgVisual]

Arts not the charts. ATRLers couldn't relate

 

[HASHTAGPOW]

Miscast. They should've hired Jennifer Aniston.

[shookspeare]

Mess, I actually wanted to see this but had no idea it was out. And it's only on netflix? Guess I'll wait until I can find it on some random Russian website

to the uninitiated, most threads about actresses on ATRL are unserious. usually including Saintgelina, Sucessica Chastain and Jennifer Paniston. it's just a bit but then some people like the OP get so mad for no reason. go take a Advil or something 

 

[Cheers]

Oof the replies  

UNIVERSALLY LOVED LEGEND ANGELINA JOLIE!!!!! Everyone loves her! You will NOT come for her!
