Why can an ugly man become a successful actor but actresses must be good looking? Why can old actors get lot of roles but women can't?
>>
>>63498838
Talent.

What about that fat dusgusting bitch from Tammy.

>>63498982

Or that fat disgusting bitch who raped her sister with pebbles.

Exactly, women can't be talented.

He used to be pretty cute. I'd touch his dick.

Either way character actors are always ugly
>>
Nobody really gives a shit about men being attractive or not because an attractive man or an unattractive man can fill certain roles respectively.

Women are kinda boring to deal with unless they're at least somewhat nice to look at. You know it to be true.
>>
>>63499057
She's not "attractive" either.
>>
>>63499072

To be honest I always thought the "Steve Buscemi is hideous" normie meme was always overblown, the dude's pretty average looking to me, honestly.

Maybe it's just cause I'm not a woman, but I don't immediately look at the dude in his older films and think "Oh look it's that ugly guy Steve Buscemi."

Is Steve Buscemi really all that ugly though? That's not exactly a flattering photo but normally he's fine. I mean he looks unique, but it's not like he's hideously distracting

That bitch from SNL has been in like 5 movies in the last 2 years as the star.
In fact, look at all the ugly SNL female actresses.
They've all been in movies as central characters.
The pretty ones never get jobs.
So, you're factually wrong.

Let me guess, you're a gross chick that's just ranging and seeing things through a filter?
Just clean yourself up.
The difference between gross and ok is hygiene.
>>
>>63499864

This. If you are some generic slut with no discernible talent no one is going to be able to tell you apart from the next generic slut once you hit 30. OTOH even the plebest would recognize Buscemi face, it's his signature
>>
>>63498838
>Why can an ugly man become a successful actor but actresses must be good looking? Why can old actors get lot of roles but women can't?

First, because women are such obnoxious, miserable, self centered cunts that nobody is willing to put up with their bullshit unless they're easy on the eyes. I'll be damned if I'm going to waste my time watching some fat ugly bitch, let alone shell out money to do it.

Second, nobody gives a shit about anything women do because they suck the fun and life out of everything they manage to get their hands on.

Fuck yes she is, and she's only gotten better with age

>>63499893
>The pretty ones
Who?

>>63498838
There are tons of unattractive and/or old actresses.
Off the top of my head (altho i dont know names for most):
The woman from Spy
The girl from precious
The woman from fargo season 1
The woman from the movie fargo
Claudette from the Shield
Edie Falco
D's mom from the Wire
Kate Mulgrew
The fat girl from Girls

Older/plain looking men fucking younger women in movies is more socially acceptable and sells better than a younger man with an older woman.
Its just.. what people want to see. Ticket sales reflect that.

Older/uglier women can still get plenty of roles. Sigorney Weaver, that fat chick from Tammy, even ScarJo with her flat ass and huge forehead, they're just not as numerous or as widely marketed.
>>
>>63500313
>the example you use to prove ugly women get roles is ScarJo
you made me laugh out loud
>>
What about the fat nigger woman from Precious?
>>
>>63500040

This is a fair point, and I think it also applies the other way around; men generally do need to be attractive or have an interesting look in some way. Uggos will always have roles in either gender because scripts often call for uggos, but generally looking good is a must.

This is not a new issue at all, and it's always been understood that audiences generally don't want to see ugly or even average people on the screen; if they're going to pay to be transported into a silver screen of big ideas, they want the people to look nice.

Sigourney Weaver is a legit chud and the only valid example from your point. Melissa McCarthy is just a token "girls can be funny too" actress who is famous to make women shut-up about there not being enough women in film and ScarJo is a fucking 10/10

All of these women, while not gorgeous, aren't as ugly as Buscemi.

Shit, most of em were hot at one point until they fucked it up.

>>63503538

>Sarah Jessica Parker

Used to be hot. Is still attractive for an old woman from the neck down.

>Lindsay Lohan

When she was actually famous and successful she was borderline 10/10 material. She's still fuckable now despite being a crackhead prostitute
>>
>>63503630

Lena Dunham, Schaal and Wilde are all as easily ugly as Buscemi. No question.

Schumer would be right on the line too. Especially when she's been hitting the Big Macs hard.
>>
>>63499007
They can, it's just statistically less likely (probably because they can rely on other things).

He's got fucked up teeth but I see people with fucked up teeth worse than him all the time. But the normal thing to do is to get your teeth fixed before you become famous. But he obviously could care less. I could care less about that kind of thing as well. Most people couldn't care less.

ScarJo has herpes fyi. So does Jessica Alba. This immediately brings their sex appeal down to zero unless you already have herpes.

Steve Buscemi was a solid 6/10 in his youth.

An ugly man CAN be somewhat interesting, an ugly woman is just ugly, sorry.

An ugly woman could be a good actress and have a good script written for her but no, the best we can do is to make Charlize Theron's face puffy.
>>
Because men are interesting
>>
>people pointing out Amy Shumer
Look there is chubby like Amy and then there is Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Jonah Hill tier of Obesity.
>>
Most of women can make themselves look not ugly if they use make up correctly. True uggos can't really find roles because there is little need for ugly female characters. Talent has nothing to do with it.

jk, wimmin are dumb fucktoys and i hate them

peggy from mad men is ugly
>>
>>63504695
She's Hollywood ugly in that she's a 7/10 at worst.
She's nowhere near Ron Perlman or Steve Buscemi
>>
>>63504580
That's the point though, it's hard to find interesting woman in real life and the same can be said for strong women, that's partly why its hard to write good characters for them, people just don't get it.

Barbra Streisand is pretty successful.
