A creator who picked the best people for the roles apparently now owes the public an apology. Excited to learn how this attitude somehow makes art better going forward.

I read this too quickly at first, and...I wouldn’t have thought she was his type.

Poor form to publish a private e-mail correspondence. It also feels like she’s tacking on “mansplaining” to justify doing it.

“Harming and upsetting”

Pathetic

Wedding Crashers seems like the Avatar of comedy films, in that it was extremely popular and yet it’s hard to find anyone going on record as liking it that much.

Sad for Russell Crowe that phones aren’t heavier these days.

Not a single gratuitous link to a crime from 25 years ago? Are you new at this?

Okay. Let’s see what he thinks if a tweet from 2011 costs him a job.

Thanks for those definitions; this sounds like a really cool system. Has it ever worked once in a free country?

Goofy always seemed a little gay to me.

With Lawrence playing a role she’s 25 years too young for. At this point, I’m thinking she’d have four grandkids.

For the first time in history, I think people may be overstating something they learned on Twitter. Participating in a ceremony that has distant “roots in white supremacy” is not the same thing as endorsing it. I kind of hope she never comments on this, since a) there’s not a lot of there there, and b) it would make

The new series hopes to reflect how New York City has changed since the original show ended in 2012

God, she’d be great.

Only if Whoopi Goldberg helps with the script.

I think a black actor should replace Joaquin Phoenix. That way, every side would have something to complain about. 

But do the Friends actors have a revenue stream that the 3 Seinfeld actors who didn’t create the show don’t at this point? I guess they got higher per-episode salaries, while the show was one, but I think the Seinfeld cast eventually got profit participation in the DVDs. That’s why they ended up doing it, I thought.

I think they get residuals (that’s a union thing) but not royalties, since the three of them didn’t own a piece of the show. Don’t ask me what the difference is, except one is clearly worth more than another. They also got a share of the DVD revenue after they held out.
