Billie Lourd – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Mon, 04 Jul 2022 07:03:21 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Billie Lourd – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Julia Roberts & George Clooney are Bitter Divorcees in Ticket to Paradise https://www.geekfeed.com/julia-roberts-george-clooney-are-bitter-divorcees-in-ticket-to-paradise/ Mon, 04 Jul 2022 07:03:21 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=69033 Julia Roberts and George Clooney may be considered A-list actors who only work on ‘serious’ films, but once in a while, you have them in some lighthearted comedy set in a tropical resort.

Watch the two play bitter divorcees that have to play nice in Ticket to Paradise:

Here’s the official description:

Academy Award® winners George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunite on the big screen as exes who find themselves on a shared mission to stop their lovestruck daughter from making the same mistake they once made. From Working Title, Smokehouse Pictures and Red Om Films, Ticket to Paradise is a romantic comedy about the sweet surprise of second chances.

Besides Clooney and Roberts, the movie also reunites Booksmart co-stars Kaitlyn Dever and Billie Lourd. We already know that Clooney and Roberts are seriously talented actors, but Dever and Lourd have also proven to be some great up-and-coming talent. Hopefully they can keep up with the likes of the two Academy Award-winning leads.

If you ask me, the film looks like your pretty standard vacation comedy, and you can probably swap out the leads with Adam Sandler or Jennifer Aniston. My guess is that Clooney and Roberts’ characters will find a way to fall back in love with each other, but seeing that that would be incredibly predictable, I’m open to director Ol Parker to try and surprise the audience with this film.

Ticket to Paradise is set for a release on Oct. 21.

]]> Official Star Wars Account Slams Toxic Fans on Twitter https://www.geekfeed.com/official-star-wars-account-slams-toxic-fans-on-twitter/ Thu, 02 Jun 2022 01:55:38 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=65431 It’s no mystery that Star Wars is full of some toxic fans, and they’ve bullied every star in the franchise from kid Anakin Skywalker Jake Lloyd to Daisy Ridley. One other actor that the toxic fandom has managed to bully-off social media is Kelly Marie Tran from The Last Jedi, and while some fans still haven’t given up on their hating, the official Star Wars account had decided to put one of them in their place.

This was the account’s reply to someone who was trying to trash Billie Lourd and Kelly Marie Tran at Star Wars Celebration:

The post was met with a lot of positive reactions from fans, and there has been some appreciation from the official Star Wars Twitter page for taking a stand against the toxic fandom. While Disney has been notorious for trying to keep all sides pleased, it’s good to see the PR team actually take a side for once.

It doesn’t stop there, either. After the targeted criticism at new character Reva from Obi-Wan Kenobi, the official Twitter has called out the racist comments against actress Moses Ingram:

It’s hard to point out exactly when the fandom started getting toxic, but it was pretty public around the time that the Prequels came out back in the late 90s. Fans only really started to address the problem with the release of The Last Jedi, where fans had managed to bully Kelly Marie Tran out of social media.

While I don’t think toxic fans can be completely stamped out, it’s great that the official Star Wars account itself is making a stand.
