pathetic, pitiable, poor turn of events

Has Diane Keaton ever played a character that was not foolish and annoying? Even Kay, in the Godfather movies. She begins as basically just a device, an innocent newcomer, a stand-in for the audience, by which this world can be introduced and explained. But she ends up the protagonist of the worst scene and the worst storyline in both movies "it was an abortion, Michael". yikes

Most of the time she's just annoying from the get-go. How did she catch on as a movie star?

Reds

Reds is literally the movie that inspired my post. I watched the first half of it this evening and she's very difficult to handle. Just a very poorly written character not helped at all by Diane Keaton's naturally annoying nature

naturally annoying nature, lol

You're always finding women annoying. Have you considered that maybe you are a homosexual

I do not often claim women are annoying, but, yes, I have been considering that, maybe, yes

How is the movie otherwise?

I've never seen Reds.

Me either.

It's no Heaven's Gate, I'll tell you that much

Nothing is. Nothing at all.

What in the hell. How is this real

I feel as though i've heard that plot description, but the title doesn't sound familiar at all.

Should we all watch it?

It was probably due to her being super hot and delightful and not at all annoying.

It says it's "the role of a lifetime from Gary Oldman", so it should be required viewing for any film buff.

This is AI-generated, I refuse to believe anything else

I'm going to read this as sarcasm, I refuse to believe anything else

You're right, she's hideous.

The eighties were a boom time for plain, waspy actresses.
