Aubrey Plaza Is An Instagram Stalker In This Middle Social Media Satire

... funny movie is far more successful when it’s angling for easy laughs then when it’s trying to steer them towards social commentary. Spicer’s attempts to muddy the waters and reorient our sympathies are weak at best, and often troublesome. Yes, Ingrid is a sympathetic character — we’re all a little bit like her, we’ve all looked at a social snapshot of someone’s life and wished we could tap into it, we’ve all taken the bait that other people put out there in the first place — but it’s shaky territory when you start conflating the effects of social media with genuine mental illness. It’s not that Ingrid is naive or new to digital technology; she’s a disturbed individual whose mother’s death has triggered a series of psychoses that just happened to manifest themselves through Instagram. The movie is very confused on that point, much less sure of itself when sussing through Ingrid’s damage than when it ...

Bryan Singer, Aubrey Plaza Talk Psychedelic Genius At Premiere Of Fx's 'legion

... of the hour-plus-long premiere, guests drove and Ubered their way to Nightingale Plaza on La Cienega Boulevard, where they sipped the SBE nightclub’s signature cocktails, dined on filet mignon and roasted chicken, and danced to Beyonce. Earlier in the evening, both Hawley and Loeb spoke to THR about whether there could be a second season of the well-reviewed show. (In fact, FX boss John Landgraf introduced the screening by reading several of Legion’s positive write-ups, THR’s review included.). “I think the goal is to do more, but it was important to me that this story have a beginning, middle, and end,” said Hawley. “If you know where you're going, then you're laying in all the pieces that get you there.”. Loeb said there are definitely ways to expand the Legion world. “Well, there are eight episodes, let's see how people like that before we figure out where else this is going to go. I can tell you that ...

Is Dan Stevens This Century’s Nicolas Cage

... include David’s father reading him a story about the angriest boy in the world, a boy who murders his mother. Another memory involves David and Lenny scoring drugs together and planning on ripping off David’s shrink. “The stove is the utility player of the modern home,” says Lenny, trying to sell a stove to a guy in a junkyard (while David stares at a dog in exactly the same way Cage stares at the iguanas in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans ). How do such good lines coexist with such bad ones? The characters involved in any given scene, and how much fun writer and showrunner Noah Hawley is able to have with them, dictate way too much how entertaining that scene will be. A show about Lenny going around committing crimes would have been superior to this show, even though this show is about the world’s most powerful mutant. (This was probably also the problem with Fargo season 2—Bokeem Woodbine’s wry assassin ...

Aubrey Plaza’s Eye Roll Isn’t Her Only Superpower

... excelled in that realm, she’s taking her acting to places no one could’ve ever imagined. As one of the stars of FX’s Legion , Plaza will appeal to a whole new crowd that will just as quickly succumb to her charm. Even in her most well-known role as April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation , the journey Aubrey took the character on was remarkable. She started as a dry, sarcastic, unmotivated Indiana gal who had no interest in anything Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her fellow co-workers had to say. She delivered witty quips with a super straight face and the ever-so-slight smile that let viewers know she was in on the joke. And yet, by the end of 7 seasons, April was practically a completely different character. There were times where, gasp!, she let herself be vulnerable and Aubrey is the reason those moments resonated so deeply with viewers. From becoming pals with Ron (Nick Offerman) to marrying Andy (Chris Pratt) and even admitting she maybe sorta thinks ...

Aubrey Plaza, ‘legion’ Mental Case, Has What The Kids These Days Call ‘moxie

... constant remains Plaza’s blood-shot Lenny Busker. “My goal was for Lenny to be the happy place for David, at all times,” she says. Aubrey Plaza. Luke Fontana for Observer; Hair by John Ruggiero; Makeup by Mai Quynh; Styling by Jessica Paster; Shot on location at Bigfoot Lodge. “Having that to focus on, with all that other bad stuff lingering in the background for me, was a good combination. It helped me play the character as someone fighting against the bad stuff and allowed it to be more than just, ‘Ugh, I’m so crazy. I’m like, totally tweaking out.’ ”. That border, between comic-book storytelling and the reality of mental illness, is where Legion walks its finest line. After all, the series’ main thesis, spouted from inside a psychiatric hospital, is that occasionally the illness is your strength, and more dangerously, the voices in your head might be telling some form of truth. In a scene from the pilot, David, Lenny and newcomer Syd (Rachel Keller) sit in support group, while a doctor grills them on their respective problems. “What if your problems are in your head?” Syd asks. “What if they’re not even problems?”. Lenny, ...

Aubrey Plaza Like You’ve Never Seen Her Before

... more about attachment and obsession and less about someone who is mentally unstable,” she explains, before adding dryly, “but I guess I’m like the go-to crazy person or something.” In “The Little Hours,” meanwhile, she’s a 14 th-century not-cut-out-for-the-cloth nun, alongside Alison Brie , Kate Micucci and Molly Shannon. The film was written and directed by Jeff Baena, Plaza’s boyfriend since 2011. “We’re so obsessed with movies,” she says. “That’s why we’re making movies together.” The couple regularly watch DVDs pulled from Baena’s alphabetized library (’70 s flicks and Robert Altman films are in high rotation) — and Baena’s writing a script they plan to film in Italy later this year. When it comes to red-carpet occasions, Plaza works with stylist Jessica Paster, transforming from sleek (a black, long-sleeved, low-cut Alexandre Vauthier gown for the 2015 Emmys) to mod (a Prada minidress for the “Mike and Dave” premiere) to badass (a studded leather Miu Miu dress for an event last month).

Together, they'll try to solve the mystery of his great powers. "Legion" stars, from left, Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, and Aubrey Plaza. Chris Large/FX. After reading the script, Plaza met over coffee with "Legion" showrunner and director Noah Hawley ("Fargo"). That's when he approached her about playing the role of Lenny, which became a pretty exciting idea for Plaza. "It was really kind of interesting that he would switch the gender of the role and allow me to take it on and work together to see where that journey would end up," she said. "Anyone that’s open to something like that is definitely someone I want to work with.". Plaza was willing to take on the role, but she had a request of Hawley. She didn't want him to change the role just because a woman was playing it. "I agreed to do it, but I said if ...
