Saturday Night Live

The funny thing is that when PK posted that photo earlier I was like, “ok, that’s Sweeney,” but it was actually Aubrey Plaza, who I am mildly more familiar with, but honestly it could be either one of them or anyone else.

(We could also be having this discussion - which is fun, look, I accepted that I’m getting old ages ago - about a young male cis actor)

I brought up the dude from the romantic comedy that Sweeny was in! I have no idea who that dude is or where he suddenly manifested from, but I see his dumb handsome face everywhere.

(xpost)
wtf the photo above is not aubrey plaza if we are talking about that photo of a blonde woman (who is also not sydney sweeney). It is apparently Sunny Sweeney, and I don't know who that is.

lol sorry

I misread something there, obviously

aubrey plaza is of puerto rican descent and a brunette, for one thing

Glen Powell was maybe the best part of Everybody Wants Some!!*, played John Glenn in Hidden Figures, and is bringing the romcom back...he's basically the new McConaughey!

*Seems to have a good relationship with Linklater: he was also in Apollo 10 1/2 and co-wrote & stars in his next one, coming out in June.

Daddario really has not been in very many good things, True Detective and White Lotus aside, but she does have very distinctive eyes.

Sunny Sweeney is a contemporary Country singer.

Google Trends shows more search traffic for Daddario until Season 2 of Euphoria premiered in early 2022, at which point Sweeney overtook her.

it's really about who is showing the most boob on tv at any one time

That’s depressing

I actually mostly know Aubrey Plaza from her talk show interviews. she's very funny.

Her readings of thirst tweets are pretty funny also.

def did not realize Sweeney was famous, and did not get the impression from the Stones video that it starred a famous person. Unlike the Kristen Stewart video, which seemed to be written for Kristen Stewart or at least directed by someone with a sense of her persona.

from what I remember, one of the main things that helped boost Sydney Sweeney's profile was toxic shit on instagram and elsewhere where people were going on and on about her being ugly during the first season of Euphoria; I think she even posted a weepy video about it. There was also a pile on where people accused her of being a Trump supporter because there were some pictures of a family party where her grandfather was wearing a red hat. I don't know that it was ever confirmed that it was a MAGA hat.

Supposedly it was a red novelty hat worn by her mom that said “Make Sixty Great Again." Perhaps it was misinterpreted because there was someone also pictured in the background wearing a Blue Lives Matter shirt, and this was a "hoedown" themed party in Idaho. #context

yeah I mean her family probably sucks, no surprise there. but also, lots of people's families suck. anyway my overriding point in even starting this discussion was that instagram commenters are some of the worst people in the world.

Everyone sucks but ILX commenters, and even *those* assholes ...

The most surprising thing in this run of posts is that anyone is like 'oh yeah, right, the girl from that Rolling Stones video'. The fact that there's a contemporary Rolling Stones video that people are aware of and presumably went out of their way to watch makes me feel more out of touch than anything else under discussion.

I saw it because it was posted here, in the thread about the new album.

I don't think I have ever seen it, but I knew she was in it because I saw some promotion that was like, "the new rolling Stones video, featuring her!" And she was on the hood of a car? Or working at a car wash or something? Or on a billboard?

X-post - Yes! I was so confused when ppl were talking about that video as if that's why she's famous.

we're all turning into bob lefsetz

Lefsetz definitely knows who Sydney Sweeney is...

<Only because of that Stones video and maybe Mr. Skin>

There were also news stories where she denied that she was objectified by the Rolling Stones.

i cannot imagine running through glenn powells cv and not mentioning maverick?

The whole thing was just kind of sad.

you're not tricking me into watching or listening to Imagine Dragons

My point is, LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS SHOULD HAVE HOSTED SNL IN THE '80S

nobody is famous for parks and rec its a small show that americans think went big

Perhaps, but I would argue that Nick Offerman is 100% famous because of Parks and Rec.

Adam Scott, too.

Yeah, I know, *Party Down*

Parks did huge numbers in streaming fwiw

nobody is famous for parks and rec its a small show that americans think went big

Chris Pratt is famous because of Parks and Rec because I highly doubt he would've ever been handed the career that he wound up with if his public persona had always been what it is currently.

Perhaps, but I would argue that Nick Offerman is 100% famous because of Parks and Rec.
