Team Obama, activate!

Left-wing Hollywood stars are rallying around Barack Obama as evidence mounts that the former president was involved in the failed take down Gen. Michael Flynn as well as a larger clandestine effort to derail the Trump presidency. President Donald Trump has repeatedly tweeted about a massive “Obamagate” scandal, saying that Obama and Joe Biden led the “most corrupt administration in U.S. history.”

“It was OBAMAGATE, and he and Sleepy Joe led the charge. The most corrupt administration in U.S. history!” the president tweeted on Monday.

Over the weekend, leaked audio footage emerged of Obama slamming Trump. The former president claimed that the Justice Department’s decision to abandon its prosecution of Flynn means that the “basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.” He also slammed President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Loyal left-wing Hollywood celebrities have begun circling the wagons around Obama, playing defense as the #Obamagate hashtag trended on Twitter on Monday. Prominent entertainment figures including Ava DuVernay, Barbra Streisand, Patricia Arquette, and Jeffrey Wright have leapt to the former president’s aid, eager to downplay the gravity of the brewing scandal.

Could this famous thing be upon us in the near future?

[The Bovinian Derivative]

Boyega is having the same issue. He’s got one straight-to-streaming movie finished and one episode on Steve McQueen’s limited series.

These two were never going to be superstars.

Boyega also shittalked the streaming platform of one of the largest corporation on the planet. "You're not gonna Disney+ me" That probably didn't help either.

 

[tehpope]

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher weren't fighting off producers desperate to give them big parts after ROTJ either.

Mark Hamill did pretty well for himself post Star Wars. He got into voice acting and became the definitive Joker in the Batman cartoons. He was the main character in the Wing Commander games, well the ones with FMV anyways. He probably made a killing from his likeness being used for Luke in the millions of SW shit. This was before the Star Wars action figure market crashed during the sequels.

 

[Strange Wilderness]

She has no tits and she isn't very good at acting, so what did she expect?

Star Wars is sadly a career killer. Unless you have a steady filmography under your belt when you sign up then Star Wars is going to be the highlight of your career. Ewan McGregor almost didn't take the role because his uncle who played Wedge in the original films didn't want his career to suffer like his. Both Oscar Issacs and Adam Driver both had done some films and shows before they signed up for Star Wars and its part of the reason they're still getting work, they can be known for more than just "I was that guy in Star Wars".

 

[ditto]

One would presume that Daisy Ridley, the face of a multi-billion-dollar global blockbuster franchise, would be swimming in job offers following the culmination of the latest Star Wars trilogy with The Rise of Skywalker.

No. Why would anyone presume that?

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

She's an incredibly bland actress so it's no surprise.

Hayden Christensen at least had Shattered Glass, will Daisy get her equivalent?

Christensen was pretty good in Jumper (unfortunately it flopped), Boyega was fine in the Pacific Rim sequel. He's not gonna be the next Wesley Snipes or anything, but he's charismatic enough to do mainstream action movies.

Idk if it's a typecasting thing, or the dialog tends to be so bad in Star Wars movies that it deprecates the value of the actors in the minds of casting directors, but not many people go on from these movies to great blockbuster careers.

Natalie Portman's doing fine, but she was already a successful actress (and one of the most beautiful women in the world) when she got cast by Lucas. Harrison Ford went on to become a major movie star. Most of the rest of them are just lucky they don't have to give handjobs for cash.

 

[queue-anon]

Ridley should probably just come out. There are enough out gay directors and producers, that she could maintain a decent career by cozying up to them, especially Ryan Murphy.

 

[Some Manajerk]

Harrison Ford went on to become a major movie star. Most of the rest of them are just lucky they don't have to give handjobs for cash.

Ford is probably the only one who has to be convinced to do Star Wars films because of his success. between SW and Indiana jones he seems to have siphoned all the film career luck from everyone else.

Or maybe a few of them got a bit of an ego after starring in the series, and directors are leery of hiring them due to them making outrageous salary demands based on that.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

Is that what her name is? Well, I'll remember that for all of five minutes.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Oh wow 12 Minutes is getting released, they should lead with that instead of the Daisy Ridley thing.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

she should have made enough money to be set for life at this point.

Harrison Ford is the anomaly, he had some mild success with "American Graffiti", but right after Star Wars he starred in "Blade Runner" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", that's a 1-2 punch that no other actor could replicate.

And right after that, "Temple of Doom". He cracked the code.

 

[frozenrunner]

I'll pay her a fair wage for a few hours work

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Harrison Ford is the anomaly, he had some mild success with "American Graffiti", but right after Star Wars he starred in "Blade Runner" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", that's a 1-2 punch that no other actor could replicate.

Didn't hurt that Ford got to play the best character in the Star Wars movies from a transferable acting skills point of view.

Luke: Dudley Do-Right
Leia: Sassy Space Princess
Obi: Old British Man
Vader: Pleather Daddy
Chewie: Space Mutt
C3PO: Gay Robot
R2D2: Garbage Pail Midget
Greedo: Asian dude
Han Solo: Handsome, but also charming rogue

There's a lot more demand in Hollywood for handsome rogues and girls who look like Natalie Portman than there is for the other types of role (or at least there was before they started stinking up movies with doe-eyed twinks and flat-assed sevens). Carrie was cute enough in her gold bikini, but she was punching above her weight even in Star Wars.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

You could just take a planks of wood, slap a pair of fried eggs for tits and some googley eyes on it and have basically a better Diasy Ridley, so why the fuck would you hire her?

 

[Cryogonal]

She did the best she could given the terrible role. Boyega, too, and I think he's a much better actor than most stars these days.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

I just saw a post about this that explained things well, hang on...

 

[Cheerlead-in-Chief]

Isn't she a terrible actress with the emotional range of a wooden board?
Perhaps she should just accept that she's now a pigon holed acress.

 

[Fromtheblackdepths]

But what talents could she bring that would make her enticing towards projects anyways?

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

She has no tits and she isn't very good at acting, so what did she expect?

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher weren't fighting off producers desperate to give them big parts after ROTJ either.

Also typecasting is definitely a problem when you're in such a well known movie, especially if you weren't already well known before.
That's why Harrison Ford still found work but the rest of the cast really didn't do much in front of the camera after the first Star Wars.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

She is a non-entity in movies. It made the Mary Sue aspect of Rey that much worse. The best acting she has done in her career was as a naked corpse.
