Is this really a problem in Hollywood?

problem is the old dudes not the young qt's

face for radio

wait for it

WELL HELLO BEAUTIFUL

there are plenty of attractive 37 year old women I could see starring in major films

the problem is, Maggie Gyllenhaal is not attractive.

Shes never looked good at any age.

Seriously, is she some producers kid or something?

Yeah, it is. It promotes dishonest film-making, dishonesty toward reality. It is the mainstream version to the problems in pornography.

Odd how she doesnt mention what the role is
Almost as if its intended for someone young...

what went right?

That's how it works for women. You derive all your worth from birth from having a vagina and sell yourself like a whore while you're young, then you age and are worth markedly less. Men are worth little to nothing from birth and have to earn their way, the benefit of this delayed start is that the sky is limit and age is no barrier.

Deal with it roasties.

more like too ugly, DAMN!

Life is so hard for a woman in the movie business. Men working in sewers just don't know how good they have it.

from an evolutionary perspective women don't need their looks past their mid 30's. blame biology.

Dude she shouldn't be in any role

Yeah it was probably supposed to be the guys daughter or something, eg Logan

Sort of. She has a mistaken belief that her opinion matters because she's a somewhat successful actor. Her involvement doesn't make or break movies/TV shows. While the older man with a younger woman cliche is kind of boring at this point, she's not attractive so people are going to continue to indirectly tell her she's not right for the role.

This. Maybe if she didn't look like she was pushing 50 she would be able to land some age appropriate roles

Hello, beautiful.

Young women are for old men

>Amy Adams is 42
>Jake Gyllenhaal is 36
>Henry Cavill is 33
>Jeremy Renner is 46
But by all means, it's everyone elses fault for her not getting roles

...

taytay isn't young anymore though

woah hes 46?

Sounds more like hollywood is just representing reality. Its a lot easier for a man to pull a younger woman than vise versa.

Some people would call that a "problem" with society, but then you're scolding people over who they're attracted to, so fuck those people.

...

Addendum: if the specific role/script she was casting for calls for "middle-aged man" and "much much younger wife", then she needs to fuck right off, because she just doesn't fit the bill.

actresses get their break from teens to early 20s, actors when they are in their thirties

I knew it was coming, didn't disappoint

Except this is driven by the consumers.
Women's attractiveness decreases with age, because as women get older they're less likely to have viable offspring. As for men a lot of their attractiveness is tied with wealth and status, which usually increases with age. Just ask any evolutionary psychologist.

Consumers prefer to see attractive people on screen. Not "realistic" people.

That was just a nice way of saying she's too ugly for the role.

>Amy Adams is 42
>mfw watching celebs get old
>mfw realize I'm getting older too
>mfw the landslide brought me down

She's too ugly, that's why.

THERE GOES BEN QUADINAROS POWER COUPLINGS

I've ALWAYS said realism is a problem in Hollywood.

famous brother

It's not a secret that young women prefer older men because older men have their shit together mroe than young men so why is it not ok?

>The hot chicks you liked in highschool are now old
>Your favourite actors are getting older and dying off

>24
>the hot girls from high school all look busted as fuck now
>I look great now

With today's effects they can make anyone look young and attractive. The reason Maggie Gyllenhaal doesn't get big roles is because her blowjob technique is not up to the standard producers and directors are used to.

Similar situation, old HS people look old as shit, I still surprise people that I'm not late teens, early 20s. I'm almost 27 and still look relatively young. Fuck em KEK.

It looks fake, it cost money.
It is easier to hire young not well known actress.

Because any existence of systematic preference for attractive women (even in romance, where attractiveness is entirely relevant), upsets the ugly women at the intellectual center of leftism.

This is why "fat shaming" is a concept. Not because fat people are victims, but because they're insecure about their attractiveness compared to "skinny bitches"

Well, it's most certainly a problem for an mediocre actress that's no longer young and attractive enough to get by on that alone....

Maggie just has unfortunately genetics that make her look about 15 years older than she really is. And that grandma haircut isn't helping matters.

And I'd almost be inclined to call BS on the fact that she's really 37. She looks at least 10 years older than that.

She hit it big with Donnie Darko. Had a string of maybe 5 big hit movies after..... then got to old to play the eye candy female leads.

Kurt Russell astutely commented on the plight of aging female actresses in an interview. He said there's plenty of roles for aging women in Hollywood, the problem is they don't want them. They always want to play the young attractive ingenue and refuse to consider more motherly or age appropriate roles for women in middle age.

Womens' sexual attractiveness fades far quicker than a man who takes care of himself. If they realize this and can embrace it, they still have a career in Hollywood. If they keep expecting to play the eye candy young female leads at 40, they're being ridiculous and unrealistic.

>That look of despair

>implying they don't VFX the shit out of every actor/actress no matter how young or hot they are

You have lot to learn, kid.

>I looked like crap in HIS and got picked on
>I still look like crap and all the bullys got wives and high paying jobs

Even with cutting edge studio magic, it's still not quite believable. If they want a 20 year old for the role, they're best off hiring one.... if they want a middle aged woman, best hire a middle age actress.

That bitch looks like Leia on Rogue One.....

Maggie looks old, not her fault, nothing she can do about it, just a fact. Actresses skate by on their looks when they're young, nobody cares much about their acting ability, but that just means they have an expiration date once they're no longer hot.

I work in the industry and yes, it happens. But for arguably good reasons, or reasons that make sense
movie making is a business, its about selling ideas and people to make a movie, so that movie makes even more money that you spend so the machine can keep going. Your pitch (if it ever makes it so far) will usually go through one mother fucker of a process to see how they can maximize profits and all angles will be looked at
>is their a franchise already
>do we have the rights to it
>is the fanbase big enough to consider
>if not, can we acquire them and is it worth it
>who is involved and can we trust them
>what is the risk/reward ratio
granted, its not always like this. Indie movies for example are a bit more lax, but they dont have nearly as much funding and support. but for most movies, especially a big blockbuster that could lead to a series, this process is important. A bit fucked up and full of dirty back door dealing? you bet your ass but for a studio to put a lot of hope (money) into a project can you blame them?
actors are just one part of the machine, but a very big and important part. You want to be able to see a good actor and their role since thats what most people are going there for. Sorry maggie, but most people want to see a sexy young women and if you dont have that appeal you need to figure something out. find a new niche or be willing to experiment or take roles you wouldnt normally consider. Why do you think robert dDeNerio is play the funny old grandpa is most of his films now, when he used to be a huge sex symbol/image of a bad ass? Because hes over the hill too in that regard so hes going with what hes got and making it work

its not rocket science this stuff, nobody just wants to say it out loud because its shitty. Anyone who really wants to get involved in this industry, I recommend having a background or basic understanding in advertisement

Any age you think an actor is is at least 10 years younger than he actually is.

>Is this really a problem in Hollywood?

It is if you look like Droopy at 35.

>He said there's plenty of roles for aging women in Hollywood, the problem is they don't want them. They always want to play the young attractive ingenue and refuse to consider more motherly or age appropriate roles for women in middle age.

This is a cutting insight.

>one day you'll be watching a New Year's recap and it'll have the "Celebrities we've lost in 20XX" and you'll recognize all of them

Maggie is the female Brenden Fraser.

She's a mediocre actress who got by from being young and attractive (in a quirky type way). Then middle age beat her pretty hard with the ugly stick.

Since she was never really a great actress to begin with she couldn't make the transition from a young eye candy actress to a respected actress that play motherly middle-aged type roles.

>my crush from high school just got checked into rehab
>again
still hurts to watch, guys

Worth it

>implying I got bullied

I'm still not making money but at least I still look young though, got that right. I'd rather enjoy my time than be bound by debt or other shit (kids, career, etc). That shit causes stress, and is it really worth it in the end? Not to me. Fuck wasting 30 years of your life in some career, just to get money you won't enjoy until your kids leave and you retire. I plan on having kids within 10 years. By the time they're 30 something, they'll take care of my ass. Easily coasting through life and enjoying as much free time as possible is the way to go, son. Enjoy being a careercuck KEK.

chicks love to fuck older guys. there's nothing dishonest about showing that in a movie, money power authority chicks dig it what can you do

this
Feud:bette and Joan showed it perfectly. these women in their 40s want to get like theyre in their 20s because thats when everyone kissed their asses
its possible to age gracefully too, lots of professional actresses have done it

Is she just now figuring out that actors age out of certain roles? Fuck man, Jackie Chan in kung fu movies used to play the arrogant young student and now he plays the wise old master. You don't see him bitching about not getting any main roles.

Are we me?

>my crush from middle school and high school is doing really well and though I don't really think of her anymore but if she ever walked into my life again I would marry her and have kids because even after a number of other girls she's the one I've felt the strongest connection with ever and that's okay because maybe there'll be someone else but in the back of my mind sometimes I accidentally dream about her and it brings all the feelings I thought I'd forgotten and didn't care about anymore back to the surface for a day and I get nostalgic for her and I'm legitimately a very attractive man now and I'd just like to see her again to see if maybe we'd work out but I haven't seen her in like six years and probably never will again in my life

>my crush friendzoned me, has a new BF, goes to a better college and hasnt spoken to me in 4 years
>still sends me birthday messages every year when 90% of everyone else stopped

just leave me alone !

Based Kurt

>I still look like crap and all the bullys got wives and high paying jobs
yeah the "don't worry they'll fail school and work shit jobs and become losers" meme is just a lie they told you to console you. it's all about confidence, connections, sociability. and nowadays that marriage is a dead institution you can rest assured that all the women will flock around the best guys till they're 40 year old single moms, used up, depressed, undesirable.

remember: two thirds of women, but only one in three men get to reproduce. that's just how humans seem to work. best to make your peace with dying alone.

>my crush from middle school
> she's the one I've felt the strongest connection with ever

If you look at scientific studies they've found this is universal because we're pumped so full of hormones at that age we feel all emotions much more strongly.

Which by consequence means she wasn't special at all. You just can't muster that level of emotion anymore.

>just leave me alone !

You're her backup. Tell her to fuck off.

>those trips


But who feels for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to feel for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one

> tfw you finally got to fuck your high school crush but it was when you were both in your late 20s and by then she had already had two kids, gotten divorced, and gained a bunch of weight

It was like winning your dream car in a contest but it's been sitting at the bottom of a harbor for 20 years

...

Spectre had a Bond girl who was 50. Maybe they just didn't want her and thought that was a nicer way of saying it.

>maggie gylenhall
>cute

pick one

>Don't make the same mistake I did: the expression

too ugly more like LOL

How did this gargoyle ever get work?

It's not like she's Steve buschemi tier ugly where you can just recognize his great work and look past his hideous looks.

Could it be. Dare I say it. Because one is a good actor and the other isn't

The thing is you gotta be a good actress if you want longevity in hollywood, if you rely on looks then naturally when the looks go so do you, nobody cares that Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Judy Dench or Betty Buckley is old because they can act.

maggie is average looking and an average actress so nobody needs you really, thats why the bitch isn't getting roles.

they were trying to let her down easy and not tell her she was too ugly and this is how she repays them

wow thats fucking depressing

Doesn't that make her most special since you'll literally never feel that amount of emotion for another girl again, only her?

But she's not special. You were just fooled by your brain.

Guys putting girls on pedestals is already a fucking epidemic, and it's even worse when you decide to idolize lost or unrequited loves from a time in your life you're most vulnerable and least sane.

>Doesn't that make her most special
no it makes you most dumb

You should read Frankenstien.

thats not true at all

>muh scientific studies

In what way? You're subject to your brain chemistry no matter your IQ.

It's pronounced Frahnkunsteen and I have.

Where did it all go so wrong?

God I bet you think you've got it all figured out.

not an argument

That's because I'm not arguing. I just think you're the exact type of insufferable prick that infests this site.

pure Sup Forums kino

I have, it's bibliokino

up until embarrassingly recently I thought she was jake gyllenhaal's mom

She looks well into her 40s tbqh. Women age much worse than men but Maggie Gylenhaal has had a much rougher go of it.

She was cute, then suddenly got grandma face in her late 20s.

Meanwhile Marisa Tomei (52) and Cate Blanchett (47) are cast in MCU blockbusters for their sex appeal.

>not wanting auntie maggie to give you a tender succ

>Amy Adams is 42
>still hot as fuck

She has a daughter too, thank God. Granted she's like 7 years old, so it'll be a long time before she starts looking like her mom, but those genes can't be put to waste.

They just didnt have the heart to say too fucking ugly.

This is why women's dating value is at it's highest when they're young. Men's dating value is at it's highest when they're middle aged, because they're most likely to have a bit of power, wealth, and have the best potential as providers (this is also why a male's viability as a mate stems more from their ability to provide than their physical attributes).

And in all honestly, this probably makes life a bit easier to be a guy. You'll have dating hardships when you're young and poor, but if you live right, you'll be hot commodity as you age. Women have life on easy mode when young, but as their looks fade, easy mode gets turned off. If they haven't already reeled a man in at this point or set up a good career, it gets FAR harder for a middle aged woman to do so. Even things like securing good jobs or promotions are based more on looks for women than most will admit. Particularly an acting gig.

The rules of life are different for men and women. No amount of crying will change the rules of biology.

Old women aren't hot. In a career where attractiveness is a huge asset, they become far less marketable..... and this is all fine and good if they're willing to play age appropriate roles. But if the role calls for a 20 year old vibrant woman, a 40 year old will only work in very special circumstances.... a woman like Anne Hathaway may be able to pull it off. A woman who just has very good genetics and looks 15 years younger..... but another woman like Maggie, who has the opposite condition, she tends to look 15 years older; will not do.

If she wants to play an older housewife or a mother, she could get those roles.... but roles made for young female eye candy will no longer fit.

Too ugly.
Ftfu Maggie

wow she actually looks kinda fuckable in that pic. the years havent been kind to her.
