one of the worst actresses of all time, Andie McDowellIs she still acting? I hadn't noticed.

She had a critically acclaimed turn in “Maid”, recently. I always liked her, despite her confoundingly bad acting chops; Minnie Driver was a slightly better actor but has none of Andie’s odd charisma

kind of agree with that

Driver is a typical product of the UK private school system i.e an irritating, entitled af personality and full of shit, and this completely permeates her acting style. I still like Groundhog Day, don't like anything I have ever seen Driver in.

Eh, I met Driver once (we were being interviewed on the same radio show, I was up first); she was exactly as polite and friendly as I would want a total stranger to be.

Saw Fellowship of the Ring last month on da big screen, Orlando Bloom did everything he was called on to do, which was mostly stand there and look pretty, which is all most film actors do, like this is a movie where Liv Tyler’s performance is a parody of itself and of all future Lord of the Rings themed weddings, and it’s good, most performances in the movie have the wide-eyed blankness of Bresson models and nobody really knows the English language, most of the whole seventeen hour runtime is Elijah Wood’s humongous dewy eyes

Like in context, of what relevance is it what Orlando Bloom can do with his face

Have some respect guys, her name is Andie MacDowell and yes she is one of the all time worst actresses

Driver is terrific in Grosse Point Blank

why are we discussing minnie driver (whom i quite like) while gal gadot is out here getting blown away by 'lily' in advertisements for at&t phones
― mookieproof, Monday, 11 March 2024 05:49 (two months ago) link
MacDowell is great in MMXXL, maybe she'd always be great if she didn't have to do accents
wld 100% give Minnie Driver an airplane ride

I laughed, Ledge.

considering excelsioring myself tbh

I thought about this thread recently as I was watching one of MacDowell’s daughters getting a ball repeatedly bounced off her head in Poor Thingsimo Margaret Qualley can act a bit better but she definitely has some of her mom’s energy

Im leery of getting into criticising models-turned-actors (even if they were never actually models, iygwim) but demi moore is particularly bad, right?
― Qanondorf (darraghmac), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:12 (three years ago) bookmarkflaglink
is she this i think maybe but then she is primarily known for acting right
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Monday, 11 March 2024 13:26 (two months ago) link
I think even the 10 seconds that Margaret Qualley's in the trailer for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood takes her out of contention for this thread.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 11 March 2024 14:44 (two months ago) link
I wasn't nominating her for the thread, just saying that I'm occasionally reminded of who her mother is
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Monday, 11 March 2024 14:45 (two months ago) link
Wtf
I watched Maid and never knew they were mother daughter at all, that is wild
― braaam.flac (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 11 March 2024 14:49 (two months ago) link
wait, do they play mother and daughter in that? it’d be funny if they just kind of passably pulled that off
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Monday, 11 March 2024 17:13 (two months ago) link
Yes they do. I had no idea they were actually mother-daughter, but any time MacDowell was on screen I was too mesmerised by her "cartoon bipolar" performance in general to really think about her chemistry with Qualley. I think they're both great in that series fwiw.

I literally called downstairs, my bf pays more attention to this stuff. "Did you know that Margaret Qualley is Andie MacDowell's daughter?" "No I didn't!" "So you didn't realise it was real-life mother-daughter casting in Maid?" "What??!?! It was??" I felt like I was crazy for not noticing this!
― braaam.flac (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 11 March 2024 17:21 (two months ago) link
that's the power of acting. convincing you that an actual mother and daughter are two unrelated actors playing mother and daughter
