I mean that's not a bad idea. There are movies l started avoiding cause I was sick of the actors in them being in everything. Got so sick of anything with Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper

If you want to avoid me, Lemmy is like the last place you would want to be...

I'm like, everywhere here.

Before Barbie came out, I thought your profile was a marketing/PR team promoting the movie. I'm kinda convinced now that this may just be your account. Celebrities are regular people too and frankly, I only know your characters, not you as a person or how you care to spend your time. But we're all just people being humans.

I go to my little local movie theater all the time. Three times just this week. My wife and I LOVE the cinematic experience!

I just want to tell you, I REALLY enjoyed Babylon! It felt like an epic tale of the rise and fall of "empires", whether referring to eras of film making, industry magnates, prolific celebrities of the time, all changing/growing and then devolving through debauchery to depravity and finally, collapse (I imagine the point of the title.) All the characters intertwined through separate, steep trajectories. Reminded me of Casino. I don't read many reviews or critics; I'm not really sure how it was "officially" received, but from an avid movie-goer in a tiny little mountain town in the US, I thoroughly enjoyed your performance!

It's gotten to the point where I kind of hope it's not the real Margot Robbie. I want to stand in awe of somebody out there who's this committed to the joke.

I somehow doubt the real Margot is an avid Android tech enthusiast

have you ever seen margot robbie and linus torvalds in the same room together?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I honestly did it because it's funny when the opportunity presented itself, if you know the backstory behind that.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

You never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, didn't Robin Williams hang out on obscure forums? It's not entirely out of the question. I do imagine an actual celebrity would have lost the novelty of being a celebrity, though

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

I for one am not sick of Margot Robbie, she seems to only get better at acting and she seems to be good to her fans. Also you really don't hear scandals and bullshit out of her like so many celebrities

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I understand why you're taking a break from acting. Lemmy can be quite time-consuming.

[–] Rozlif@feddit.uk 6 points 10 months ago

Been enjoying your comments here. Hopefully the hiatus isn't too long.

[–] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I still refer to Bradley Cooper as “That guy from Alias”

[–] Kiernian@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

"That guy from Alias"

You said that and I was all "Oh cool! Is he getting a lot of roles, I'd better go look!"

Turns out I was thinking of Kevin Weisman, who I haven't seen in anything since Runaways.
