I'm with the writer here: Banks has never once made me laugh. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:26 25
- Sad. -- nm - David Apr 20, 13:28 7
  - I mean, I guess it's possible she's read funny lines here and there, but do people really think she is inherently comedic? nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:30 6
    - I think she's one of the funniest, most charismatic women in the industry. -- nm - David Apr 20, 13:32 5
      - Three scenes. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:35 4
        
        You could probably just pick 3 scenes from 30 Rock. -- nm - pmb Apr 20, 13:36 3
        
        You may have something here. - Dignan Apr 20, 13:39
        
        I'd take Modern Family. Her picking a fight with Lilly was inspired. -- nm - David Apr 20, 13:38 1
        
        I was thinking that as well. -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 13:39
- I hope Elizabeth Banks does the Sam Rockwell dance on your grave! -- nm - Max Apr 20, 13:27 16
  - Name three scenes. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:28 15
    - I don't think your IM is true, the more I think about it. But I would look at 40YO, Lego Movie, and Walk of Shame -- nm - Max Apr 20, 13:34 8
      - What was funny in 40YO? - Dignan Apr 20, 13:37 6
        
        The drunken club scene. Can you please just name an actor you like so I can crap on them? -- nm - Max Apr 20, 13:38 5
        
        I mean, she's fine. She's not without charisma. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:41 4
        
        I don't totally disagree with you, I do not label her as a comedic actress. - groiny Apr 20, 13:48
        
        the hills you choose to die on are always amusing - dj fingerblast Apr 20, 13:42 2
        
        It's not a strong opinion! I didn't even realize I had it until I saw this thread. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:44 1
        
        You've always hated Elizabeth Banks and everything she stands for! -- nm - Max Apr 20, 13:45
      - Slither. - groiny Apr 20, 13:35
    - Hell, name one scene where she took average material and elevated it singlehandedly. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:30 1
      - she is one of the few things I remember about the 40 year old virgin. -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 13:34
    - I dunno about how funny she is supposed to be, but she was a damn fine Effie Trinket - groiny Apr 20, 13:30 3
      - Sh'e primarily known as a comedic actress. nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:31 2
        
        she is certainly not like Amy Poehler or Melissa McCarthy. - groiny Apr 20, 13:33
        
        Sh'e is Swahili for "she is." nm - Dignan Apr 20, 13:32
