Ellen "Elliot" Page: For Reasons I Don't Understand, People Aren't Calling Me Up to Offer Me Roles to Play Characters Who Look Like Whatever I Am

You don't say?

A woman who cut off her breasts and had fake plastic "abs" inserted but who still looks and sounds like a ten-year-old boy but with visible wrinkles is finding that there aren't a lot of films calling for that particular type?

You don't say. You don't say.

Elliot Page Is 'Not Really' Getting Casting Calls After 'The Odyssey': 'If Someone Wants to Call Me...I'd Love to Do Good Work'

Did you guys watch The Umbrella Academy? If you haven't seen it, don't bother. You wait for it get good and you keep waiting. At points, it gets okay, and then gets bad.

Here's one five minute scene featuring two cute girls (on the "bad guys'" team) and nothing in the show is this good so don't bother.

Anyway, I watched for a couple of seasons. Ellen Page was in it, playing the typical Ellen Page character, a fragile, squeaky-voiced scoldy girl with mental problems.

Then she "transitioned," and continued looking just as she did previously, but apparently insisted on having her character also transition, and then make two seasons' storylines mostly about her "transition." I signed up to watch an X-Men parody, I got two seasons of lessons about transgenderism.

She could have just played her character as a woman -- because she still looks like a woman. And aren't actors supposed to play "any role"? Well this role is female, and you should be qualified to play that, because you played it previously for 30 years.

But no, she had to now be "a guy."

The show turned rancid about this time, generally, and it's not all about her weird insistence on playing herself. I mean -- himself.

But it didn't help!

Elliot Page has never felt more comfortable on screen. Finding the right role, however, has proven to be more difficult. During his appearance on the "On Film... With Kevin McCarthy" podcast, Elliott revealed he hasn't been able to find another great role after starring in "The Odyssey," which hit theaters in July. The actor revealed he has no role currently lined up.

Yeah because Christopher Nolan did you a favor by rescuing you from unemployment by giving you a role you were totally unsuited for and which cost the movie maybe a half-billion in ticket sales.

But you can't count on former colleagues tossing you a Charity Role forever.

Your choices have severely restricted the roles available to you. You could actually still play squeaky-voiced tiny women... but you insist that no, you're a guy now, and you can only play Dude Roles.

I don't know what to say.

The "Umbrella Academy" actor, who came out as transgender in 2020, said he hopes to continue acting. Looking back at his experience filming Christopher Nolan's 2010 film "Inception," Page recalled feeling uncomfortable in his own skin. But now that he's embraced his true identity, he feels he's in the perfect place to accomplish his "best work."

Playing what?

I mean, you could do cartoon voice-work, but again, you'd insist on playing a Dude.

I guess if there's an animated Fish Movie you could play a Dude Fish with a squeaky voice. Maybe there'll be a new cartoon fish movie. I think that's your sweet spot, playing cartoon Dude Fish with low T.

...
While working on Nolan's film, Page developed shingles after feeling out of place while working "in a cast full of cis men." In his memoir, "Pageboy," the actor shared the cast and crew were "delightful to work with," but he still struggled to feel comfortable on set.

This article began with the obviously-bullshit claim that she's never felt more comfortable in her own skin, which does not survive past the fifth paragraph. Now we find out that in her last film -- and I mean "last" in both senses -- she was "uncomfortable" to be around men.

But you're a dude now. You should be having Bro-Time with the dudes.

"To come back no as you can imagine, being more comfortable in yourself makes these sorts of projects more enjoyable," Page said during the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" panel at New York City Comic Con in 2025 about "The Odyssey." "To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now meant so much to me selfishly."
When Page's casting as Sinon, the cousin of Odysseus (Matt Damon), was announced, the actor faced backlash online. Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro called the choice an "absolute puzzler," noting that Page is "about 5'2 and 105 pounds soaking wet and has the voice of a woman. It doesn't work."
Whoopi Goldberg spoke out against Shapiro's remark during an episode of "The View" in July, saying "A lot of conservatives who see this are going to feel the same way. That's okay. But I don't understand. Why go see the movie? If you don't want to see it, don't go see it. Why do you care who's cast in it?"

Seriously? Who cares about who's cast in a movie?

The cast is usually the biggest selling point of a movie. Actors' names are often above the title of the film.

And in historical movies, where a big selling point is to "see the world as it once was," and feel "immersed in a different age," you kind of want to see people who could have possibly existed in that age to be cast.

On to Ryan Reynolds. I tried to not hold the Blake Lively thing against him. Hey, if your wife gets crazy, you have to support her, even if she's crazy and being a real See You Next Tuesday.

But I am now wondering why I ever thought he was funny. Yes, he's doing Fletch-type gags and I guess he writes some of them but I'm not 14 any longer so the juvenile snark thing is wearing out its limited charm.

At least he seemed somewhat intelligent. For a creampuff light comedy actor, I mean.

But is he?

What the hell is this revisionist woke bullshit?

Ryan Reynolds is beloved in Hollywood because he has mostly refrained from talking politics. Until now.

Exactly. He was -- emphasis on the past tense -- an unobjectionable lightweight.

He just became objectionable. I guess he's got to prove his Woke Cred now that his wife (and his own complicity in his wife's actions) has turned Hollywood against him.

The comedic actor best known for playing the flippant anti-hero "Deadpool" wasn't quite as funny when he decided to launch a stray at the 1980s.

He wants you to know the 80s were a living nightmare. Thank goodness we're in the new woke world where we don't have any of that old baggage!

Ryan Reynolds says ’80s nostalgia “paves over all the trauma” of the “tumultuous” decade:

“The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off… pic.twitter.com/CvNE3KLfff
— Variety (@Variety) September 2, 2026

"The 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people," he said for some reason. "It was a fu**ing mess and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Socio political tensions everywhere. We were still pretty fresh off a Cuban missile crisis, which was only 15-20 years before. It's a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you're like, 'Oh, yeah. 'Top Gun.' Cocaine!' Like, 'No!' It was really scary."

We were fresh off the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis in the 80s?

I'd hate to see your refrigerator. You seem to have a very flexible notion of "fresh."

If you are wondering when he was born, it was in 1976. He was still pre-teen before 1989. Maybe this flaky Canadian fuckboy was all scared of Canadian propaganda about Ronnie Raygun and his Apocalyptic drive to blow up the world.

I have a very, very conventional view on Deadpool 3, which I hear many other people expressing, so I'm not Mr. Original with this take.

When I first saw it, I was amused by all the cameos.

And then a day or two after having watched it, I realized it was a really empty film, that really was literally nothing but fan-service. Even the much-anticipated fights between Deadpool and Wolverine were inconsequential, because neither character can be killed and neither appears to even feel much pain.

Eh, I don't need this idiot. Go back to rom-coms with Sandra Bullock.

8 She probably could star in some $500,000 production about a tranny dealing with personal problems.

But she'd only get paid like $25,000 for the 2 months of work, and she's a MAJOR STAR! So, she won't debase herself with that.

She also said that she was really uncomfortable playing the male soldier in The Odyssey and negatively compared it to her experience playing the pregnant teen in Juno which she said was a more natural fit.

She was almost certainly used and abused when younger in Hollywood.

But like Paltrow she was apparently willing to make that trade.

Though I wonder since her career is now really over why not name the Hollywood insiders that raped and/or casting couched you?

28 Ryan Reynolds does well playing Deadpool because he's mostly playing himself.

Deadpool's schtick is comedic sociopathy because he knows he's functionally immortal and invincible.

Thus when someone gives him a beatdown, he can just sit there and take it while snarking the entire time.

Gets old after a while.

29 I watched a bit of that Ryan Reynolds clip, and was thinking "at some point, it must have dawned on him that he was just aimlessly blathering and had no real point, and wanted to stop talking, but couldn't figure out how to do it gracefully".

All these empty-headed actors want so badly to be "serious people", but they just lack the mental equipment. Maybe some of them had it at some point, but it has atrophied due to constantly having their asses kissed.

72 Did you guys watch The Umbrella Academy? If you haven't seen it, don't bother. You wait for it get good and you keep waiting. At points, it gets okay, and then gets bad.

Watched the first season and enjoyed it enough to watch the second season.

Watched the second season and it was slightly weirder and worse than the first.
By that time Ellen was trying on Elliot and I said “screw all this noise” and never went back.

I stopped watching The Boys on Prime after two seasons, too. That’s because, even though I enjoyed some if it, I could see the direction it was going and jumped off before the ride got worse.

nostalgia /nŏ-stăl′jə, nə-/
noun

1. A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past.
2.The condition of being homesick; homesickness.
3. A sentimental yearning to return to an earlier time remembered as happier or more pleasant, or a former place evoking happy memories; a longing to experience again a former happy time.

Cruz addressed members of the media moments after Judge William Sullivan announced a mistrial at a court in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

As he was talking, a woman standing behind him said: 'You only cared when the kids were dead - why didn't you care about the mother?'.

Cruz kept a straight face as others around him backed up what the woman shouted, chanting: 'Amen'.

As journalists continued to pose questions to Cruz, the woman continued to heckle him, causing him to ask a reporter to repeat their question.

She was also seen shaking her head as he spoke and kept on shouting over him before walking away. Others shouted that he was corrupt.

AOC has demonstrated ability to work in front of a camera, and she would whip up the DSA nuts into a ballot-stuffing frenzy.

Also, for their soap opera needs, she can put on a little weight, play coy about her pregnancy status, allow speculation that maybe Hunter is not just her 'running' mate (being married sure wouldn't stop him), etc. There will be no room left for discussion of their anti-thriving policies.

Deny Deny Deny. It must be stress related shingles.

OR....sex hormones do actively modulate and change immune cell behavior. Estrogen and testosterone—have strong immune-modulatory properties. This means they change how the body responds to inflammation, bacteria, and viruses rather than shutting the immune system down. You know, like the dormant chicken pox virus that activates and causes shingles.

Bottom line. You fuck with your sex hormones you reap the "benefits." IOW, you break it you bought it.

Typical leftist commie cocksucker whining. I read Russell Means' autobiography years ago and he had some of the same stupid shit. But with more ball-licking.

He spends most of a chapter star-struck about working with Daniel Day Lewis on Last of the Mohicans. I half expected him to write about how he dropped to his knees in front of Lewis and was amazed at how clean his penis was. It was THAT bad. Then he started talking about the crew, who he claimed were all virulent racists who talked nonstop about redskins, fire water, "How, white man. Me noble savage" and shit like that.

300 I remember the 1970s, and they were a downer. One of the reasons why Star Wars was so big was that the good guys actually won for a change. So much depressing, paranoid conspiracy stuff out there, and of course the world sucked with stagflation and then the hostages.

And not even talk about the clothes and decor from the 1970s, shall we?

I liked the 70's. I had a great job, we bought our first house, great music. Life was good for us.

304 What a lot of people don’t realize is that Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse. The trial revealed she took her children one at a time into the basement, where, as they were crying for help she strangled each one on them with exercise bands. Remember, she deliberately repeated that act three times, going up and down the stairs. They also revealed at trial the strangulations were so brutal the children’s eyes were bulging out of the sockets.

Now take a moment to think about what kind of person could do that.

Now even worse, think about what it takes to stand and defend those heinous acts.

306 There were grown up problems in the 70's, but that was that absolute best time ever to be a kid or a teen. Sure some movies were downers, but there was also was a lot of totally weird offball shit you could go see at the mall theater like Zardoz and all 5 Planet of the Apes movies in a row.

Kids and teens today can't believe how free we were back then.

And the Grown up problems were Carter and Dem problems. The South flipped R and we got 12 years of decent rule and destroyed the Soviet Union.

Sorry you didn't like the courduroy pants, Howey.

307 When on the long march to the camps, its not a virtue to stop and smell the roses.

I would think if you were being marched into a camp you would appreciate every sight and smell before the gates slam shut. I don't know what has broken within you that your only source of joy is to come here and spread gloom, but I pray you find some purpose and meaning in life. God is waiting. Talk to Him.

Ace Ventura was funny to teenaged me.
I doubt I would appreciate it today as much.

309 The amazing thing is, you'd think she'd get more work for the same reason she got the job on The Odyssey - to check the diversity box for the Academy.

Turns out the great Christopher Nolan is a bigger coward than most Hollywood directors, worried his blessed Odyssey would get frozen out of Oscar contention for not checking enough boxes.

What an absolute PUSSY

310 I watched a de-transitioning vid by a woman who transitioned to male, then back to female. She said in the rush to turn her into a man, no one explained the testosterone drugs wold thicken her vocal chords and ruin her voice. She was a singer, and singing became too painful. She could no longer so the thing she loved most. Detransitioning doesn't fix that. Her voice is ruined for life.

Elliot Page ruined their vocal chords and ruined their voice. It is tragic. But there are huge side effects to these drugs. Either you aren't told them all, which is evil, or are told, and just have to take the L as a sacrifice you make for your transition.
