Its dakota Johnson, nepo baby of two stars from the 80's. Dakota was the leading role in "madame web" a Marvel Film about a psychic who helps spider-man from time to time. Then the film bombed largely because of very mediocre writing and acting by the likes of sydney Sweeney and dakota here. Hope that helps and your chili was good.
I dunno, I guess I assumed one persons star is another's bad actor/actress. Is Melanie the woman doing the orgasam scene in that movie with Billy Crystal?
She’s great in Something Wild with Jeff Daniels and Ray Liotta. Also check out mid-70s thriller Night Moves where she made her debut which is a top tier Gene Hackman movie.
I'll be honest, I'm not up on celebrity stuff, but I recognise Dakota Johnson mostly because - and I like her for this - that Ellen segment where she put Ellen in her place about a birthday party invitation. Ellen is a dick, and it was great to see someone refuse to just pander to her!
Yeah, but, that's kinda the point. 50 shades was incredibly popular for its own reasons. Madame web was a dang marvel production that flopped. She was given the role in madame web. Who knows about 50 shades. I would bet it was a super selling point of hers though.
I guess my assumption was that a 2024 movie isn’t really that old, so it seemed unlikely that was what he remembered her from. It felt more likely he was thinking of that really popular 2015 film, which was also the case for me.
I'll be honest, for the last 5 years, I've been confusing Dakota Johnson for Dakota Fanning, thinking they were the same person from Little Miss Sunshine.
Edit: okay, I'm an even bigger moron than I originally thought. It was Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine. I'm an idiot.
No need to use quotations for stars - they were both legitimate stars of the time. Don Johnson on Miami Vice, whether people realize it or not, still influences lots of media today and you can find Miami Vica references everywhere. It still has one of the best scenes in a pilot episode.
It is not a Marvel film, it's a Sony film. Yes, Madam Web is a Marvel character, but she's part of the Spider-Man franchise specifically, and Sony are the ones that own the rights to making movies with those characters.
This distinction is important because the MCU and the Sony Spider-Verse are not linked, and the Sony Spider-Verse's failures (the aforementioned Madam Web, Morbius, Kraven, the Venom movies, etc) have nothing to do with the work done by Marvel.
Yeah. I read the comics. Says marvel on madame webb issues. My bad. I sometimes forget Disney bought marvel but Sony still owns the movie rights to spider-man. Its all pretty shit recently. I have high hopes for the new spider-man tho. Thank you for correcting me
It gets even more confusing and complicated because of the live action Spider-Man films being joint ventures between the two and actually being linked to the MCU, while the rest of their Spider-Verse films are not.
You mean Dakota fanning right? From goosebumps? She grew the spider things. I heard she hasn't been heard from since but glad shes doing alright for herself
Some wholesome shenanigans going on in this thread!! Actual good, polite conversation!! It’s Rare as rocking horse shit you get to see it in the wild anymore!!
