Gone Trailer: My Open Letter To Amanda Seyfried

Dear Amanda Seyfried,

Look, here’s the thing. You seem like a genuinely nice person, and I loved your bits in “Veronica Mars.” It’s when I first learned about you, and I was quite enamored, even though you frequently appeared with blood and goo all over you. Regardless, I had high hopes. You were also very funny in Mean Girls, which was a cool movie but we won’t talk about that Lindsay girl, because goddamn did her career shit the bed.

The thing is, Amanda, you’re kind of fucking up right now. You did that hooker movie where you were naked a lot, and then you did that stupid Little Red Riding Hood movie, which was majorly bad. Like, OH MY FUCKING GOD bad. And Jennifer’s Body? Eesh, woman. Seriously? Then you did a movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, and I started to wonder if you had a coke habit or if someone had pictures of you doing terrible things, or if maybe you just don’t have a soul.

Then you did In Time, which was also not great. Now, I just watched the trailer for Gone, and I gotta say — Amanda, if you want to do Lifetime movies crossed with an episode of “Law And Order: People Are Fucked,” there has to be a better way.

I mean, Wes Bentley is in this, Amanda.

Look, little lady, I mean this in the kindest, most helpful, gentlest and most supportive way possible:

Get your fucking shit together.

I read in an interview that she makes some movies so she can buy things like apartments in Manhattan and the sort. Almost purely for the money. It's disappointing, but it was slightly refreshing to hear someone admit that she made a shit movie because of the money. What's not refreshing is exactly what you pointed out: that everything she's been making lately has been shit as well. No good ones interspersed between the crap. If she isn't making/choosing good movies, then all she's saying is that she chooses films based on the money.

Too bad really. I had high hopes for her. I've gotten to dislike her because of her recent movie choices and because of how she comes off in interviews. I hope she steers her career in a better direction. That'll win me over, which is ultimately every hot actress's goal.

Just checking my math: Captivity + Buried + any number of Ashley Judd revenge flicks + Wes Bentley's "Who Farted?" face + Jennifer Carpenter's "Duh." face = No.

However, I would watch the hell out of a "People Are Fucked" flavour of L&O.

I will maintain to my dying day that Jennifer's Body is much better than anyone will admit. I think it caught a lot of backlash because people were already sick to death of Juno and Megan Fox and were ready to hate it because of them. Diablo Cody toned down the hamburger phones and focused the story on the relationship between the two female leads, told almost completely from the perspective of Amanda's character.

Was she in that movie where a girl finds a letter written donkey's years ago, and then goes to Italy to deliver it and gets all mixed up (seeing as she's not a professional post woman), in the process gets it on with a bloke who isn’t quite her boyfriend and then nothing really happens but we're supposed to understand that this is supposed to be about love? Perhaps it was the other girl.... There's somebody else who looks quite like her (blonde, long neck, large blue eyes) I can't seem to tell them apart.

The bad guy/killer is one of the cops. How do I know. Too many cops looking serious in the trailer. This is one of those movies.

I'm with you, Craig.
I enjoyed Jennifer's Body but mostly because Adam Brody gets disembowled.

In interviews she seems really stupid. I want to love her because, come on, look at her hair but I think Veronica Mars and Mean Girls were flukes. I'm 90% sure she's incredibly lame.

You forgot that she was also the star of Mamma Mia! So, there's also that.

Other than her obvious "talents" (boobs) what are you guys so disappointed about? She makes a nice sexy/pouty face and that's it.

SB, that was Letters to Juliet. Once I saw that I was fairly convinced that Hilary Duff or Amanda
Bynes should have starred in that movie. It was that bad.
Vanessa Redgrave was in it. That's a damn shame.

She was great in Big Love too, but besides that and Veronica Mars, LAME.

When you say you loved her "bits" in Veronica Mars, do you mean the scenes she was in, or various pieces of her anatomy?

Posted by: MM at November 21, 2011 1:35 PM

Why can't it be both?

@TK
>that Lindsay girl, because goddamn did her career shit the bed

Did you just make a TOOL reference? O_o
I'm officially impressed.

True story: I was unfamiliar with Seyfried's work until seeing her in In Time. I didn't notice her boobs until the sex scene with JT, and then... oh boy!

Being an evolved male I was not only thinking 'oh boy!' but also thinking at the same time 'that must be a trick by the director - they've kept her covered up specificly to give this scene/her boobs more impact'. My theory was confirmed when in the very next scene Seyfried's appears in a small tight sweater. So my attention was diverted to her boobs for the rest of the film, which I think was also deliberate because it (the film) went downhill from there.

Yes, I know... 'thanks for sharing'.

i guess SMG and one of them Jessicas were out of town and that's why?

The hooker movie, Cloe, was quite good. In Red Riding Hood she was paired with a sad sack of an actor who sucked all the life out of a close-up, but Amanda Seyfried could have chemistry with a rock.

So, like, shut up.

My nomination for EE, right there.

I'm easily entertained these days.

I liked Dear John. Fuck off.

I've met Amanda because of my job. She has tremendous, near crippling social anxiety, particularly when it comes to any kind of press/interview. That, coupled with a tendency to just say whatever comes to mind (little to no filter on what she blurts out) and a penchant for being a close talker makes her come off as...well, a little off. That being said, she can be VERY sweet. Doesn't really excuse her movie choices, though. I think her team was so focused on making her a movie star that they've taken most anything that comes her way.
