Spot on with the advice to COMA. She loved her dad, it very much sounds like her dad loved her, and both of them knew it. The opinion of anyone else is utterly fucking irrelevant.

Wow, it’s almost like you know literally nothing about Scorsese’s efforts to preserve and distribute foreign films and those made by PoC, and have completely misunderstood his point!

Hmm. I know the soap opera world is very different, but Nancy Hughes McClosky was on As the World Turns from 1954 to 2010.

I also don’t have much to add, except to observe that David Boreanaz has been a series regular every year since September, 1997. I’m fairly sure that’s the record for a live-action (i.e., not The Simpsons) actor.

I think that specifically saying she doesn’t want to be associated with the name Joss Whedon is pretty significant. Not the harshest condemnation, but who knows what she experienced on that set as one of the people who had to work most closely with him for so long.

Yeah I’m sure he’s not the only person who gets money from streaming rights (though that has to be true for most things). I’m not sure if any of the actors managed to get a percentage in royalties or producer credits (which can sometimes come with royalties). I don’t think so? You are definitely lucky- I just have…

There was a great TV special where Stephen Frears, who is Jewish (though was raised Anglican), learned to reconcile his great passion for the music of Wagner with Wagner’s antisemitism. So obviously emotionally there can still be issue with your dead idols and their repugnant beliefs and actions... But, yeah, it’s not…

Dolly Parton was a secret producer of Buffy, if you want something to come back to.

Back in October, I looked up some of the real C-list cartoons from the 80s that I grew up with that were pretty shamelessly trying to move merch but were also formulaic and predictable which made them comforting, and I settled in for a long marathon of Shirt Tales that someone had posted to Youtube.

The Real Ghostbusters was a wild cartoon, it had some genuinely scary episodes! I still remember being freaked out by the one where Peter gets stuck with the ghost of Casey Jones on his runaway train.

The Real Ghostbusters brought Cthulhu for the weekday afternoon cartoon audience.

if i recall correctly (and i probably don’t), he was rather indelicate about some things. like being douchey about ‘taking’ her virginity, etc.

It’s not his job, but I’d argue that coming to the defense of someone getting more blame than you or for something that you were both responsible for is the decent thing to do. You’re probably right that he couldn’t have totally prevented the backlash against her, but he could have helped at least a little bit it I…

I think the only reason Swift got so much shit is because it became a steady stream of new boyfriend, new break up, new song about awful ex. Then it gets viewed as you last boyfriend was an asshole, I’m with you. Your last six boyfriends were assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.

This has been stirred up by the Framing Britney doc that aired last week (I think its on Hulu). It’s a doc mostly about what led to Britney Spears’ spiral and people taking advantage of her (like her conservatorship). The doc spends some time talking about her and JT’s relationship, how he benefited and capitalized on…

I wasn’t really a fan when it was new, but the original cartoon actually holds up pretty well. Mostly because JMS was in the writer’s room for years, I’m sure (top notch voice cast also helps).

I still think it’s funny that between the respective cartoons and movies Lorenzo Music and Bill Murray somehow did a dual role switch between Peter Venkman and Garfield.

How else are you supposed to unlock access to the incel skill tree?

and I would say that the romantic rejection should not be seen as a game over or an achievement not , er, achieved.

There’s pornography and then there’s some of the stuff Flynt put out. Including publishing nude pictures of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that were taken while she was sunbathing on her private property. If it’s consenting adults, I genuinely don’t care what’s put out there. But if it’s photographs taken of someone…
