      Both Jamie and Lindsay were brilliant in that movie. Jamie's middle-aged-teen made for the laughs, whereas teen-middle-aged Lindsay's character was more understated because that was her role. She was to set up and react to the comedy moments for Jamie, which is pretty rare for a teenage starlet to set the stage for the older woman to shine. They were both brilliant and played well off eachother

That being said, I never let like strong reactions dictate how I feel toward someone. Like I had fun with solo but I know tons didn’t and I’m ok with that. Because there are bigger issues in life to be angry about than a movie. Especially since you have other Star Wars movies that fall to your liking if you wish. I admit when the last Jedi reactions came out and hearing everyone bully each other, I felt a bit embarrassed to be a Star Wars fan. This is is Star Wars.

    Gutted they didn't go into Scream Queens! What a career! And for someone who said no more horrors, she's done a great amount of horrors - some genres just suit certain people ❤️

    I always liked Jamie Lee Curtis. She’s such a talented, funny and down-to-earth woman. You’d have to be Michael Myers-crazy not to like her. She’s such a versatile performer and always brings 100% to every role she does whether if it’s horror, drama, comedy or action.

      I think Vanity Fair cuts out some segments. For certain actors they should really consider extending the episode up to 28min. Granted, 24min is still one of their longest episodes.
