Funny! On the other hand, I recall reading an editorial in the early 90's - I think it was by Peter David - where he was responding to a letter written by a fan who said he loved comics, but didn’t want anyone to know because he was afraid of being ridiculed. David’s response was “don’t hide it. If you want comics to…

She went on to say ‘I don’t want to work with people like that’ which implies it wasn’t a friend but a professional in the field. I’m guessing a prospective agent or casting director.

Funny, they told me the opposite if i stopped holding my Marvel Comics in public i might get a girlfriend.

No no no, see, we need to compromise just a wee bit more, then we’ll finally earn the respect and admiration of congressional Republicans and be able to come together to cut taxes for rich people.

The words don’t need context, and Ms Carter doesn’t deserve extra context.

Because people need to see this. It’s psychological violence and she was right to be convicted. As someone who has contemplated suicide, and reached out to people, I can tell you that we need to spend a lot more time focusing on what to do when someone reaches out. In a weird way, the people I reached out to were so…

Normally I’m not a huge fan of selling/publicizing people’s private communications for personal gain (see: Cobain’s suicide note), but I read that letter a few weeks ago and was so impressed by how well Pac explained himself and his perspective on race to an obviously very clueless Madge. You could tell that he put…

Yeah, she didn’t try to trademark a Chinese word to name a skin cream, she was dressed in another culture’s fashion by people from that culture to appeal to a market in their country.

While I would not rule out Cage, it’s actually Hugh Grant that I’ve heard nothing but awful stories about. Morgans was also the movie Grant was promoting when he got banned from “The Daily Show” for being an asshole, if I remember correctly.

“Honeymoon in Vegas” also had James Caan.

My money is on Jack Nicholson from Mars Attacks, or Johnny Depp from Ed Wood.

“I was acting at being an actor"? Doesn't that make one.... An actor?

4th billing has to do with her agents/managers finagling and how big a name she has. She was literally in the movie for maybe a minute at the very end. She literally says she was in “The Avengers” in that clip with Jon Favreau-she probably thought she was filming for that. She also has zero screen time with Tom…

This take does not gel with how Marvel movies are made. All of these actors have bulk contracts with Marvel, meaning they don’t sign on for individual films. The actors are called down to shoot footage as needed and are frequently not even told what films the scenes are for or what the context is for the scene. As…

I’m fairly confident in saying Paltrow doesn’t know what Marvel movie she’s currently filming, what her scenes will be used for, or who is even in her scenes. And even if she did, why in the world would she be familiar with a character that she’s never interacted with and hasn’t been in any of her main Marvel movies?…

She might be a con artist but she’s not really a big part of the franchise, she’s usually only on with RDJ and not for more than maybe a 5 minute scene and there’s just no mannnny of these movies and so many actors... I’m getting dizzy just thinking about it.

She doesn’t know because it’s a pretty well known fact now that Marvel doesn’t tell people anything to keep spoilers from getting out.

Precisely. Queen Goop doesn’t give a poop about anyone but Queen Goop. And grifting yoga moms at conferences. She cares about that a lot.

Wait, you think this is all some kind of PR play? That’s....insane.
