That’s a complicated answer (like almost anything involving producers). When it comes to the Weinsteins - Sometimes? Nothing, or very little. Sometimes? Major, major impact on casting, direction, production, marketing, and the life or death of the picture. It’s a quick google to find lots of stories about him rousting…

Oh, this is from Maureen Abood!

I ended up at Free Republic* last night and it was pretty much choruses of the same thing.

You are my spirit animal.

All the things I never knew I desperately wanted to do . . .

I considered making the bet “waiting for the next Milledge to come along”, but even my cruelty has a limit.

I wonder if “East Campus Smell” will ever do that for me.

Y’know, I came in the year after that, and *still* cannot handle even the faintest whiff of that distinctly Eau De Soured Beer Sunday Morning smell.

I want a Leverage movie in the worst way.

I almost wonder if this was part of a plan to get the Northern Arc back in play. We’re from (way) up the 85 corridor. Cobb is geographically closer, but hard as hell to get to.

Only once. Never again.

I’m in the exact same place, only with Southwest in the NYC-ATL market. Now I have even less of a chance of Virgin America slugging it out for ATL gate space.

Right?

And I’m the opposite . . . born in 81, but with siblings in late-80s and early-90s. So I have serious Gen-X memories (although mostly it was stuff that was happening to the kids that were older than me), but because the sibs were younger I skewed that way, too.

Remember the Election Sequence in Evita? Take that, only every party involved has the manners and attitude of a 3-day bender hangover and fanatically believes that anyone who doesn’t exclusively and exhaustively agree with them is, in fact, out to get them, call their mother names, certainly kick small children, and…

The entrenchment that happened kind of surprised me. I’m way too much of a true crime addict, and really appreciated the access the community had to source files in this case, but the community itself . . . oof. It was Verdun in pixels.

How does that sub compare to the Serial one? (I came late to Serial but got thoroughly hooked, and was around to watch the descent into Hot Mess prior to Season 2 starting.)

My friends have had a “Care and Feeding of Antis” (huh, that sounds better with my real name) in the works for years—they often joke about adding new chapters or coaching up new crew.

That’s kind of where I was with it, too. I mean, she might just be crazy, but since she seemed to be nice enough to the server, so if it’s just her life? I kind of feel bad for her, having to explain that whenever it comes up. Hell, I’m a picky eater and feel bad enough when I have to ask the server stupid questions;…

Oh my god.
