No but it’s her one true, great passion :rolleyes:

Must be a bit of fake it til you make it? Obviously angling to be commissioned for film writing but no one’s interested. And the best Shakespeare film is Clueless, don’t suggest otherwise because that is FACT according to Sali the film journalist :rolleyes:

Sorry that should be Austin not Shakespeare 🤦‍♀️

10 Things I Hate About You is obviously the best Shakespeare film 😂

I have, there was an article in Empire about how she judged one of her friends boyfriends for his favourite film (can't remember what it was). She also said that if men list Apocalpyse Now as their favourite film that means they're damaged

Edit to add: Mrs Doubtfire was the film

Found it!

:rolleyes: I'm sure they also prefer lip gloss.

If I were to generalise about men who listed Apocalypse Now as their favourite film, I'd say they're not completely honest about their favourite film.
Unless you say that you love snuff films, I don't put that much emphasis on your viewing choices, since I'm no longer in high school (wearing lipstick as proof).
 
It is mind boggling to me that someone can vomit a few hundred meandering, woolly words on when, in their very personal opinion, it’s ok to judge someone for their film preferences... telling a lot of personal anecdotes along the way... and think it even comes close to journalism? Surely not?

I’m not saying you need to go and report on Ebola from the depths of Liberia to claim journalism credentials but there are very basic different types of writing and she is not a journalist by any stretch.

Omfg....so that's the result when a beauty writer tackles films. The judgement and superiority just shine through. The films...not so much. I can see why her contribution was shortlived.
 
It's not about intellectual snobbery but here are some film picks to show how well rounded my tastes are... and hilariously referring to Wayne's World and The Jerk as "puerile"- I mean, they're not exactly Rob Schneider films or Sausage Party! And I can't imagine any film buff sneering over Boogie Nights, for example. Paul Thomas Anderson is an acclaimed director. Her "I'm not a film snob, look at my wildcard choices" are still very carefully thought out
