    Really, it’s to focus on her Lemmy presence.

    Perhaps Ms Robbie is sick of us, too.

            It’s almost like pretending to be a character is what I do for a living or something.

            Might have been nominated for a few awards for it too.

        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 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

        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

          The downvotes are because people think you’re talking about her literal ass…

          If you’re not, you might want to rethink the wording here

          If you are … Well then may God have mercy on your soul.

          I prefer to believe you meant it in the “I want to tell my best friend I love them without making it weird” kind of thing

        “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.

    Also because she’s sick of the people I bet. I wouldn’t blame her. We can be a bunch of fuckers as a species.

      Plus, I bet she made enough from that movie to basically disappear for a year or two.

        Wouldn’t you? The world is full of people who, if given a couple of mill, would fuck off indefinitely from the exploitative dumpsterfire that is “society”.

        I know I would.

    I mean when you’ve been played with by millions of girls for decades, you’d worry people were sick of you too.

    Kudos for her for still looking young despite being a teenager since 1959.

    I’ve got to say, I enjoyed Barbie more than I expected to. Maybe because I was jetlagged out of my brain on a 13-hour flight when I watched it, but I was probably disturbing my neighbors the amount I was giggling and trying not to burst out laughing. They did a great job of touching on serious issues in an informative and entertaining manner without being preachy or annoying, too. Fantastic movie!
