Yes! He was the one that got swallowed by the bed.

And you never hear him talk bad about it either. Doing crappy projects is part of being an actor/actress. It's called working your way up and paying your dues - it happens in every single profession and just about every job. It's very rare that someone is able to get right to the top right out of the gate.

Truth is Mara was so awful in the remake that it was ridiculous. The fact that she gave a rather good performance in Dragon, leads me to believe that she was intentionally bad in NOES and I hate that. I work with people like that, "oh I hate my job, so I'm going to fuck up everything". It's your job, do a good job. Tanking says more about you then whatever shitty movie/job you claim to hate.

I feel like she's pulling a Katherine Heigl. She was also "the next big thing", who kept running her mouth about Grey's, Knocked Up and just whatever she felt like.

Going to her quote from a previous page: I think a lot of actors are self-destructive and self-sabotage in auditions for different reasons, it's not uncommon at all. But there's a difference between actually being self-destructive, and giving interviews bragging about how you get jobs in spite of trying to self-sabotage auditions. Generally speaking people who are self-destructive don't go around saying they are.

Just a small nitpick from the SVU quote: Her part in a 2006 episode of Law & Order: SVU: “Me and my boyfriend—although I don’t look old enough to have a boyfriend—"

Was there a point to that? Was she supposed to look young in the episode or is that her "thing," - looking younger than she is?

Nope. In that episode she played a high schooler with a boyfriend. There was nothing especially unique in that episode about a high schooler having a boyfriend, and her character was, IIRC, supposed to be somewhat worldly and privileged.

In sum, that aside was gratuitous, unless there's come context for it elsewhere in the interview.

I hope she keeps giving those Fishstick-isms. That's my kind of celeb ;-).

The 26-year-old, who accessorized with Fred Leighton jewels, is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for her work in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

That dress looks stupid. Probably because I hate bows, and anytime a dress plunges deep and is connected by bows or knots or anything, it looks bad. Her hair and makeup look nice though.

I swear she has worn variations of this black dress to every event she's attended in the past few months.

Her red carpet interviews were awful. I'm hard pressed to think of a recent celeb who's as dull and dour on the red carpet. She makes Kristen Stewart seem like Sofia Vergara.
