I understand that. But a contract now would be for a single iteration of the story, whether that production was completed or stalled.

Used to be a thing. Not so much anymore. People weren’t thinking as much of remakes even 20 years ago.

It’s interesting to me because if the MGM deal were done today, she would retain the rights should the project fall apart. There’s no more “in perpetuity” unless you have the worst lawyer in LA.

I didn’t say it out loud until last year, at 36. And realized at the same time that I had thought about it every day since it happened when I was 6.

Came here to say the same thing.

A lot of rich peeps don’t want to encourage friends/family to visit and never leave. Or so I’ve heard a few of them say. I cannot speak from personal experience

Snoozy evil? I know that’s not a category, but she bores me to tears.

I need to know where Doute figures on this list.

Some kids do come out the other side. Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) also has awful parents and he was able to right his own ship at 18, albeit without the bank account he should have had.

I’m so sorry. My second flu season baby turns 1 today. I swore after the first one it was too much stress to give birth with that kind of germ fear, but that’s what happened anyway.

Oh yes, the guys who think it you won’t blow them, they can just accuse you of anything and get you fired. Didn’t have the groupie thing but I did have an actor ask me to come run lines and when I opened the door to his trailer he was watching porn and masturbating.

I think there’s much more to come on Franco. He’s long been a “pretty nice to work with, unless you’re a young actress.” Violet Paley’s account of her and her friend’s experiences sound very similar to the others I’ve heard.

I was a script supervisor before I started selling scripts. Anyone over 40 called me the script girl and would say things like “Grab me a cup of coffee. I’d ask that guy (a PA), but he looks busy” or “I remember the days when the script girl would give me my lines and offer a hand job.” Despite needing to be in…

It has surprised me that throughout this Tonya/Nancy resurgence, no one has addressed that Nancy Kerrigan was relatively poor too. Her father drove the ice resurfacer to pay for her early lessons. Kerrigan did have the stable family life that Harding did not, but I always felt that fueled some of the resentment. That…

Isn’t that Joseph Fiennes or am I full of shit?

I can’t stand sweet potatoes. Purple, red, gold, plain ‘ole russet, fingerling, love ‘em all, but never sweet potatoes.

Guys, if you haven’t been exposed to Dear Evan Hansen, find a way. It’s brilliant.

I would argue we NEED it to distract us from the flaming tire fire that is our current state of affairs.

That’s why exactly why she’s suing. Murphy’s people were in full on development mode for a Fontaine/de Havilland season and her folks caught wind of it.

Every time I get a text, I half expect it’ll be someone saying “Mueller’s out. Meet downtown at noon.”
