    i feel like all of his characters are quiet and awkward

    so basically his acting is just standing still not really talking. easiest job ever

    I think there are a bunch of basic straight boys out there who were extremely attracted to Elliot pre-transition and getting real weird about that

    Respect to this asshole for not being weird doug-clap

      There’s a bunch of stuff before they came out as trans, and like… 3 things afterwards (And one of those is finishing Umbrella Academy and the other are a video game adaptation and narrating a nature documentary). Like it did just kill their career it seems.

      I think the only thing I’ve seen was Juno, which was his breakthrough role.

      Ope, I take it back—they were also in Inception, but I can’t say I remember what exactly their role in it was (or anyone else’s, for that matter).

        He was in a bunch of stuff. Hard Candy, Juno, Inception, and Super. Like he’s a good actor. His career was also just very focused on being presented as an ingenue and the industry is not writing a lot of trans parts and especially not trans man parts.

        Edit: You know what I looked that up, and there is a surprising niche that seems accepting of trans men. Police procedurals. There’s just a bunch of trans men playing cops without any comment, and that’s… kind of nice. Like they just get to be dudes without it being a big deal.

          Like I said, I remember almost nothing about Inception…saw it in theaters once and never again. Here, I’ll list it all out:

          things I remember about Inception
          • they’re on a plane incepting some corporate dude using a briefcase thingy, probably to get a password or do corporate espionage or whatever. It’s the guy who plays Scarecrow in Batman Begins, I think.
          • BWAAAAAAAAAN
          • Leo washes up on some surreal shore
          • Leo’s daughter is important somehow. And/or wife? I think he’s trying to find them? Or maybe he’s just divorced as hell
          • the rotating hallway that was a practical effect
          • Leo’s reality check top at the end omg is it still a dream???
          • oh also Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s in this (he’s in the hallway scene)
          • there’s something about timing with the layers of inception, where time passes at different rates and they sync up using music or something so that they can influence the other layers at precise moments

          genuinely do not remember the actual plot of the movie at all. I feel like it’s a heist movie but I have no idea what they’re stealing or who the characters are or what their motivations are or even how it turns out in the end

            Man I loved inception, my only complaint is that the dream sequence aren’t nearly dreamlike enough. It’s like they walked up to the edge of their concept and then chickened out and replaced all the dreams with Bond setpieces. Still a good movie though.

            uhh anyway: a) they were trying to make a trillionaire break up the corporate monopoly he inherited (like the investors would let him do that lmao) and b) Leo’s whole deal was that he

            spoilers

            killed his wife by incepting her with the idea “this is a dream” causing her to kill herself in the real world in an effort to wake up from it

            and c) the important thing at the end is that Leo didn’t look at the top, showing that he had changed as a character and was ready to live his life in the present and raise his kids.

            the rotating hallway that was a practical effect

            oh also Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s in this (he’s in the hallway scene)

            He’s also wearing like a vest or something in this scene. It was very 2010s
