Why is Blake Lively so overrated?

I am on the fence as to whether this comment was intended to address the Baldoni/Lively conflict or not. On the one hand it was one of the first things I thought of because obviously Baldoni lost the battle to release his cut of the film and if you set aside all the harassment/PR issues, it seems like he got screwed as a director in that situation.

But Corbet's went on to talk about his movie and how a lot of people told him it was "undistributable" as it was edited because it is apparently 3.5 hours long and about a Hungarian architect. But he insisted on releasing that version and here it is being honored by the Golden Globes. So I think it's possible he was really just talking about his own experience and that debates with studios and distributors over the final cut of the movie are just incredibly common.

I'll also note here that while I respect Corbet as a director, I don't 100% agree with him on this point. I haven't seen the Brutalist yet but I have extreme skepticism about a 3.5 hour movie. And also movie lengths have crept up and up over the last 20 years and the vast majority of these longer movies would be better movies if they were shorter. Directors are often insufficiently objective about their movies when it comes to the editing process and bringing in an editor to "tighten" up the film is not just about dumbing it down or meeting an arbitrary runtime limit. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings to tell the story.

It clearly was.

Tiktok isn’t exactly known for being in the right so who cares?

There’s actually a whole world beyond TikTok and DCUM.

So who are these experts stating that Lively's complaint is "a near complete fabrication"? Unless it's an eyewitness to what she's alleging or an expert in harassment claims, truly, no one cares.

Mostly attorneys who have read both her complaint and his. It’s pretty apparent what a joke her complaint is with a simple comparison.

Links? I have not seen this.

There is a poster or posters here who love to post half truths or opinions stated as facts so that people take time to ask about them and take away from discussion of the real issues. Some examples were posts claiming Blake Lively said Baldoni hurt her Oscar chances or that she alleged that his cut intended to show her "V."

Appreciate the poster giving context about the Golden Globe speech.

It’s part of the claim for damages in the complaint.

I posted that Blake claimed he hurt her chances of an Oscar, but it was a joke. Girlfriend has no chance of winning an acting award.

I don't know who posted about her vagina. lol.

Nobody has any reason to believe this, but a friend of a friend (I know, I know) who worked on the movie said there wasn’t a moment where JB wasn’t completely lovely. That’s the second time I’ve heard that. I obviously don’t have direct involvement and I’m just some random internet poster, but for me, I do feel bad for the guy.

They may have something to drop in sales from the drinks, but there is no way to know that falling sales of the hair care products is the fault of this. The hair product was launched as part of this film promotion. It is quite possible people were curious and then interest tapered off. Or that her diehard fans wanted to try it but no one else.

I’m sorry, but there was a lot of doubt that this product line was going to be successful. Think of all of the celeb lines that have failed. She’s had failed business ventures before - she of all people should know. It’s very hard in this market to launch a new hair or skin or makeup product.

I’ve said before on this thread, at one point, she was sort of a style It girl. She definitely had her moment, but that moment was a long time ago. I think most people now know her as Ryan Reynolds wife, and Serena from Gossip Girl. No shame in that and nothing wrong in that she’s taken time off to be a mom to 4 kids and she’s deemphasized her acting career. But I just don’t think she had what it takes to have a successful hair care line. It’s really a stretch to blame Justin Baldoni on this.

It's difficult to prove damages in these cases, agreed. Difficult to prove cause and effect. Maybe people wouldn't be interested anyway. She may have some evidence when she says her products' social media accounts were flooded with hateful comments when she locked her personal accounts, if she can prove via IP addresses or other evidence that those were the bot/paid accounts. If she can show a sudden dramatic decrease in sales on the days immediately after those were posted, then maybe she's got a shot.

Remember back in March when Blake made a joke about Kate Middleton's Mother's Day Photoshop and had to apologize? Maybe it already started then.

Yeah so did everyone else. Blake's crimes are hardly serious compared to others. The hate towards her is ridiculous. She snubbed a reporter for a lame comment? People don't like where she had her wedding? That's it?

This photo is pretty strange. Is this the actual picture associated with the Betty product?
