I really don't see much of a comp between them.tragabigzanda wrote:yeah, while I'm pleasantly surprised for all the roles that Joe has shared, I still feel like she should be a household name.

It is interesting to me though that ZD started out doing snarky characters and didn't become "It" until she started singing and switched gears into that "adorkable" thing. Which LZ has never even pretended to try to embrace for a second.

I totally get what you mean.tragabigzanda wrote:Yeah I don't think LZ is trying to do adorkable at all. But they look alike, and even have very similar voices (literal voices, I mean, not creative). Given Hollywood's affection for commodities, I'm just surprised she hasn't had even more success. I mean it as a compliment.durdencommatyler wrote:I really don't see much of a comp between them.tragabigzanda wrote:yeah, while I'm pleasantly surprised for all the roles that Joe has shared, I still feel like she should be a household name.

Finished up Creepshow last night and enjoyed most of the stories, they reminded me a bit of Tales-from-the-Crypt-lite but not in a bad way; looking forward to the new season.
