Missing a birthday party to go to a soccer game that's relevant to Reynolds' portfolio is fine.

Of course missing a birthday party is no big deal in normal times, but Blake is under the microscope and everything is being dissected. when you want to pretend everything’s fine with your bestie Taylor then you leave the country so you don’t have to be at the same party with her, it doesn’t look great.

Blake and Ryan are not ones to let things go. So yes, losing this particular PR battle is probably painful for them.

Taylor loves protecting her dragons, so there's no reason to believe there's a rift between them. Another Simple Favor was the #1 release in a non-competitive weekend, and is a wonderful investment paying off for Amazon, so Blake can expect even more offers to come in soon. Blake should be proud about her Late Night appearance, comments getting shut off be damned, because it's driving engagement and views and that's all that matters. She made the list of Time 100's Most Influential, and despite the backlash that elicited, everyone knows that list is for PR anyone, so she got a nice little boost in the media.

Incredible, love that for them.

Look, I just like facts. The fact is that the Seth Meyers interview wasn't a disaster. I watched it -- it was fine. The fact is that Blake's new movie is doing well on Amazon. I don't actually have feelings about that either way, I just know it to be the case based on having eyes and being able to read.

I have no problem with people posting critical things about Blake on this thread or elsewhere. But when I saw people posting that the interview last week was a "disaster" or that the movie is being "widely panned," my response to that was "huh, is that true?" And so I looked and it turns out that no, it is not true. So I posted what I found here because I figured other people might like facts as much as I do.

I'm sorry that reality is not playing out the way you would like it to, with the entire world uniting behind your hatred of Blake Lively. But it's not.

Unfortunately you don’t seem to know the definition of fact. Whether her interview was disastrous is a question of opinion irregardless of which side you fall on.

And so not as to cherry pick, 40 percent of google users give ASF a thumbs up, Ebert gives it 2.5 stars and IMDb a 5.4/10. Those are facts. It’s a matter of opinion whether this constitutes good or bad reviews, not looking great imo.

The Seth Meyers interview was a disaster. It was just so obvious they agreed that he would ask a softball question about her “intense year” so that she could say the comment that she said and then they could move on with funny anecdotes about the movie Frozen (what a relevant reference Blake) and her kids. It was so obvious and the fact that they disabled comments and didn’t feature it on all their platforms….ouch.

This is almost a master class on how not to handle a scandal. Either her team is failing her or they are no longer listening to advice and just think they know best.

"Disaster" implies something went wrong in the interview. It didn't. The interview was normal and fine.

It is standard on a late night show like that for the host to offer softball questions to an actor or entertainer. It would be a prerequisite of the entertainer agreeing to do the show -- no one is going to show up to do Seth Myers if they think they are going to be grilled about their messy divorce, their reported conflict with a costar, or other negative story. And they do stuff like this all the time, where someone who has had negative press recently goes on SM to gently address it and then pivot to their current project. See, e.g., every appearance by John Mulaney on the program in the last few years.

The people who think it was a "disaster" are people who already hate Lively and are fully on JB's side. This is a small fraction of the viewing public but this group has an intense and rabid online presence. So they will flood the comments in any posted version of the interview. Not because the interview itself has anything of interest in it (it's completely banal, like 99% of all celeb interviews) but because it's an opportunity to attack Lively, their sworn enemy.

If the interview itself were problematic, they'd take down the videos altogether. It wouldn't be available for streaming on Peacock. Alas, the interview is not only fine, it almost certainly did it's expected job of getting people to check out Another Simple Favor this weekend, which appears to the the top streamed movie on Amazon Prime just two days after it's release.

It also enabled Lively to appear pleasant and professional in public despite all the bad press, which will probably leave a positive impression with the vast majority of viewers who are not following the court cases and don't care that much about them.

I truly do not see what the "disaster" is here. It's fine.

Yes. The pro-Baldonis are in their own universe at this point. They have detached from the mothership of reality like a large space capsule.

You are mixing up critical reviews and user ratings. The google ratings and IMDB ratings are just people clicking a button on a website. You don't know if those people even saw the movie.

The review on RogerEbert.com is a 2.5 but it's not a pan. Here are the final lines of the review: Despite its struggles in places, I was hopeful by the end that Stephanie and Emily would return more quickly than the 7 years between films this time. Someone should start writing “A Simple Favor Goes Bananas.”

The movie has a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes which means the majority of reviewers recommend the film.

Given weight to rotten tomatoes mediocre score but not the even lower scores in other consolidated review sites. A 2.5 score is not a pan. Do you have any self awareness or just don’t care that nothing you write is logically consistent?

I defend Lively and this is where I am also. The pro-Baldoni position is so wrong and overstated that most of my posts here are just posts of facts to show the disassociation from reality. Pull it back in, guys! Come back!

I actually find user reviews more useful. Popcorn meter gives it a 46/100. Metacritic gives it a 55, critic’s reviews. But I don’t cherry-pick.

As you all try to defend a yet another cringy interview and shitty movie. We aren’t the ones out of touch with reality.

It is not detached from reality to say that Blake Lively lied about what Baldoni said to her when they were filming the bar dance scene. She mischaracterized evidence and is therefore not trustworthy. She and lispy, insufferable Ryan are a perfect match of a-holes. Ryan thinks he's so hilarious. He's just rich so people are afraid to tell him that he's not funny.

And I am not a Baldoni fan. I never even heard of him before this case and have never seen one movie or TV show of his.

Here’s the conclusion of the Post review of ASF (gift linked a page or two back):

The two stars do what they can. For Kendrick, that involves a lot of heavy lifting to make Stephanie’s moments of peril seem giddy and lighthearted; the dialogue is dire, but she wrings a few laughs from the quicksilver spin she gives it. Lively, who was the first movie’s antic ace in the hole, has less to work with, since no one here seems able to decide whether Emily is to be pitied or sent back to prison. The film’s lighting and makeup flatter neither actress, but that’s a minor offense compared with the assault and battery represented by the movie as a whole.
“Another Simple Favor” is skipping theaters and heading straight to Prime Video, where you may find it an acceptably inane postcard from abroad, given that you’re not technically paying for it. But to paraphrase the T-shirt, everyone here went to the Isle of Capri, and all we got was this lousy movie.

Yeah, same here. I’ve never seen anything he’s been in, including IEWU.

Right. I argued with pro-Lively folks at the beginning of this thread in good faith about many elements of Blake's complaint (e.g. the dancing scene, the fat shaming allegations, etc.) and it was clear they were twisting facts at every turn to support their position, so it became futile to argue with them ("them" being two people at max, I suspect). Why invest time into formulating thoughtful, cogent arguments, when they're going to shut them down at every turn? Not being willing to do that anymore doesn't mean the pro-Baldoni people are anti-fact, lol.

Taylor loves protecting her dragons, so there's no reason to believe there's a rift between them. Another Simple Favor was the #1 release in a non-competitive weekend, and is a wonderful investment paying off for Amazon, so Blake can expect even more offers to come in soon. Blake should be proud about her Late Night appearance, comments getting shut off be damned, because it's driving engagement and views and that's all that matters. She made the list of Time 100's Most Influential, and despite the backlash that elicited, everyone knows that list is for PR anyone, so she got a nice little boost in the media.

Incredible, love that for them.

Look, I just like facts. The fact is that the Seth Meyers interview wasn't a disaster. I watched it -- it was fine. The fact is that Blake's new movie is doing well on Amazon. I don't actually have feelings about that either way, I just know it to be the case based on having eyes and being able to read.

I have no problem with people posting critical things about Blake on this thread or elsewhere. But when I saw people posting that the interview last week was a "disaster" or that the movie is being "widely panned," my response to that was "huh, is that true?" And so I looked and it turns out that no, it is not true. So I posted what I found here because I figured other people might like facts as much as I do.

I'm sorry that reality is not playing out the way you would like it to, with the entire world uniting behind your hatred of Blake Lively. But it's not.

But it is. She's getting slammed on almost every social media platform there is.

And so I looked and it turns out that no, it is not true. So I posted what I found here because I figured other people might like facts as much as I do.

I'm sorry that reality is not playing out the way you would like it to, with the entire world uniting behind your hatred of Blake Lively. But it's not.

But it is. She's getting slammed on almost every social media platform there is.

By the same small group of obsessives. And at the same time, her career is doing fine, people are watching her new movie, and people in Hollywood have been supportive.

Which I know just absolutely enrages you, but it is what it is.
