I would watch that if that were recut as a horror trailer which I guess on some level it already is?

Aside from everything else I don't think I can handle JLD being sincere (much less maudlin).

Her going full Veep on a creepy death bird would be great! Maybe the trailer is a fake-out?

she's also in the marvel thunderbolts movie, which also seems like a bad fit. though a marvel movie in 2025 is probably a bad fit for everyone.

She’s already been in about 5 marvel projects

This looks like a version of something that could work in the right hands, but those hands would have figured out a way to avoid the shitty CGI.
What will it take for directors to realize that CGI is almost always terrible, just tell me what it will take and I will do it

i think she could be good in the right oscar-bait dirty fingernails role. she wasn't great in that nicole holofcener dramedy that i watched. not the one with tony soprano. the other one. david cross was in it.

don't get me wrong: as far as television goes, there are few people as talented in that medium as JL-D. she can make funny out of thin air.

This was the deathbird that I was picturing before watching the trailer, would have been an improvement (iykyk)

I liked both of these movies. But I'm a writer whose spouse does not read his books, so I was the perfect audience for the most recent one (You Hurt My Feelings — JLD plays an author who overhears her husband shit-talking her new book and spirals).

yeah I agree with unperson, You Hurt My Feelings was really good.
