You hear that, you greedy writers? Stop advocating for better pay so you can continue to do your jobs and make a living. This asshole needs his content and doesn’t want to hear from the peasants who provide that content.

I feel like there’s hostility being read into some fairly bland, tongue-in-cheek tweets/signs. I suppose “see you on the picket line” is kind of passive-aggressive, but that’s about it. Portraying it as “WGA assholes make delightful young actor a scapegoat for their strike” kind of reveals the writer’s sympathies. 

I feel like the tone of this article doesn’t jive with the tweets/signs they featured. Calling Jenna Ortega to the picket line (only half-seriously), or references to her punching up scripts, isn’t especially mean. It certainly doesn’t make her a “scapegoat” for failed contract negotiations. 

The tweets they’re referring to each have fewer than 200 likes each, I think this is avclub scrounging for drama

That’s actually the one show I wouldn’t consider to be part of the comedy block.

We’re planning to take some coffee and donuts down to a picket line tomorrow morning. You can find picket schedules and locations here:

Fuck the AMPTP. I hope the writers get all their demands met in full, and Netflix forgets all their passwords to their internal systems

You’re thinking of Dalton Wilcox:

“No, Mister Bond. I expect you to didle-deedle-die!”

You got the wrong Brian Cox up there.

Oh hi, Shark.

...beg pardon?

Mildly hot take: Garden State was a solid-to-good movie that had the enormous disadvantage of kickstarting a mini-genre of shitty twee films that made their inspiration look worse in retrospect. (Easy to look like you’re just abusing annoying tropes when everything in your film becomes a trope immediately after it…

He was in Twister, though! He was the guy with the mustache singing Oklahoma.

I’m curious, who was the comic? The way you describe makes me think it was a single show that was recorded. Stopping & re-doing a joke is why many comics will film it at least twice (if not more), then edit it together.

You know you’re desperate to get some hotlinks into your article when you’re writing “the guy wears shirts, specifically this shirt”

You’re missing the point. The discussion is around wealth, class and privilege, and actors/celebrities are just the most obvious example.

That is a bonkers-stacked cast.

This a great interpretation. Realizing the brother was dead hit me harder than I expected. LaKeith Stanfield played that whole thing so beautifully. His eyes and expression in the last shot was amazing. He managed to convey so much.
