You're right. I don't think that was by choice, though. I think Boyhood ran into a similar thing—the DeHavilland Law makes it illegal to contract someone for more than 7 years of work. That is not the case with 50 Shades.

I can't see the link (work restrictions) but I haven't seen "lots" of stories around. If true, I'll certainly jump in on the "hate him" bandwagon but so far seems flimsy. Meh.

Lulu If you're happy than I am happy, but like Fatman and Robyn, I just think you could do better.

Every time I see the name Taylor Kinney, my mind goes to Kerri Kenney. I prefer my alternate universe where Lady GaGa marries Deputy Trudy Wiegel.

idk why anyone reports on 1ds future when i have accurately predicted it like a billion times

Well, that clears up everything.

I don't mind. If y'all wanna be mad about it, Jared and Lupita can come hang out at my house and I will be the happiest third wheel you ever saw. They're both irrepressibly gorgeous and I sure wouldn't mind gazing upon them while they flirt when we watch tv or play board games together.

I think they'd make a gorgeous couple, and other than the way he broke my middle school heart in My So Called Life I'm not sure why I'm supposed to be anti-Leto. Is it the hair? I think it kind of works.

If the item about Jamie Dornan and his wife is true, then they deserve each other. He thinks BDSM is weird and gross and she thinks he movie-cheated on her. Can he just go back to being a serial killer please?

Why no love for Jared? I've talked to him a few times and he's lovely. And, low-level flirting does seem to be his baseline. Unless it's because of 30 Seconds to Mars, then I totally get it.

I would expect him to be respectful of the abortion, definitely, but he would be welcome to be upset and freak out about the not-telling bit. And (with the caveat that I have not seen the episode), I could see those two things getting a little bit conflated in the heat of the moment. Which is not to say that it's OK…

"How this guy missed that is just…"

If you visit any of the manosphere sites talking about FSOG, you'll see them arguing that this movie is giving young men "mixed signals" and "confusing" them about what women want. Rape apologists disguised as ignorant.

My abortion was epic but only because Michael Bay performed it.

When is everyone ever cool about it though? Bring up the subject and inevitably someone has some issue with it.

Full disclosure: I don't watch Girls and haven't seen this but was intrigued, as I always am, about discussions of abortion on popular TV.

Broken people are complex too. It doesn't absolve them of any responsibility but ignoring the realities of what lead people to their biases and bad ideas doesn't make it go away

I agree and I think that's been my biggest gripe with this show as a whole. If you look at Hannah, her actions one by one aren't totally unbelievable - it's just the combination of her actions that make no sense. I feel like all the characters are written this way. I will say that this season has been a lot better…

Fake pregnancies can be a bitch. You've gotta remember to be fake morning sick. You have to look fake tired. You'll have fake cravings that are hard to stomach. And faking farts isn't as easy as one thinks.
