  • Ranking of my favorite (“serious”) actresses + choosing favorite performances of theirs

    First: yes, I am in love with most of them but they are also incredibly talented and I love a lot of the movies they starred in.
    I have watched a lot of movies just because Kirsten Dunst or Christina Ricci starred in them and I honestly rarely get disappointed choosing movies to watch that way.
    I had to make the distinction of them being “serious” actresses because if I had included all my favorite comedic actresses the list would be even longer. So look forward to a sequel tomorrow.

    1. Kirsten Dunst (The Virgin Suicides, Melancholia)
    2. Christina Ricci (Buffalo ’66, Addams Family)
    3. Jodie Foster (Silence of the Lambs, Nell)
    4. Winona Ryder (Night on Earth, Heathers)
    5. Evan Rachel Wood (Kajillionaire, Pretty Persuasion)
    6. Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures, I don’t feel at home in this World anymore)
    7. Natasha Lyonne (But I’m a Cheerleader, Russian Doll)
    8. Katharine Hepburn (Bringing up Baby, The Philadelphia Story)
    9. Brittany Murphy (Girl, Interrupted, Uptown Girls)
    10. Kristen Stewart (Speak, Twilight)
    11. Jennifer Jason Leigh (Anomalisa, The Hateful Eight)
    12. Toni Collette (Muriel’s Wedding, Hereditary)
    13. Allison Janney (I Tonya, Drop Dead Gorgeous)
    14. Frances McDormand (Fargo, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri)
    15. Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha, 20th Century Women)
    16. Thora Birch (Ghost World, American Beauty)
    17. Laura Dern (Citizen Ruth, Enlightened)
    18. Jena Malone (United States of Leland, Donnie Darko)
    19. Lili Taylor (I Shot Andy Warhol, Arizona Dream)
    20. Patricia Clarkson

  • Celebrity men where the revelation that they are predators really disappointed me

    1. Andrew Callaghan (Host of Channel 5/All Gas No Brakes)

      Both the revelations about him and the ones about Neil Gaiman really fucked with my head when their respective SA allegations came out. First because I was a huge fan and had a parasocial admiration for both but mainly because they had always framed themselves as “the good guys”. Neil Gaiman being a vocal “feminist” and Andrew a leftist “woke” guy. I really thought they were “one of the few good ones”. 🥲
    2. Neil Gaiman

      I gave away my Sandman Comics Collection recently and I also can’t listen to Amanda Palmer or Dresden Dolls anymore knowing how complicit she was in his abusive behavior, which is really really sad because her music has meant a lot to me since I was a teenager. I am just gonna pretend Coraline isn’t based on a book of his, because I love that movie so much
    3. Woody Allen

      I know it was always known in my lifetime that he is disgusting. But my mom was a huge fan so I grew up on his movies not knowing about the extend of his abuse. I only knew that he “married the daughter of his ex” which is not even close to the full story. Watching “Allen v. Farrow” made me so sick I threw all of his movies I had on DVD in the trash and never (re)watched another movie of his.
    4. Kevin Spacey

      He used to be one of my favorite actors and my sister and I both really admired him and had this parasocial idea in our heads of how great of a guy he was. Thankfully he plays a creep/asshole/terrible person in all of my favorite movies he’s in so it’s not hard to rewatch them for me.
    5. Johnny Depp
    6. Ninja (of Die Antwoord)
    7. Snoop Dogg
    8. Joe Gatto (of Impractical Jokers)
    9. Louis CK
    10. Cee Lo Green

    Dishonorable Mentions: Dustin Hoffman, Joss Whedon, Anthony Kiedis (RHCP), James Franco, Jonah Hill, Ben Affleck, Kanye West, Justin Roiland


    A lot of celebrities are “only” in the dishonorable mentions because my expectations of them as people were very low to begin with, despite me really liking their art
    (*cough* Kanye *cough*).
