Since nearly every film, including ones you love, have at least some reshoots, yes.

There is no reason to believe any of those movies weren’t terrible even without the reshoots.

I’ve gone to a lot of public swimming pools all over the country. (Help me, I’m poor.) Many of them have bands of time when it’s adults only, or family times, or whatever.

As long as they’re not excluding any population from using the pool for the majority of the day, I don’t buy the argument that someone is really…

Thank you.

2018 would be greatly improved by an army of ninjas.

“One of them was issued in 2016, to a public pool in Brooklyn that had been running women-only swimming hours to allow observant Hasidic Jews to swim without violating religious prohibitions against mixed bathing. The New York Times brought the exemption to the public’s attention when the paper’s editorial board cri…

The same argument that the Hollies made.

Also, didn’t they just do this with Lex Luthor as a JLAer?

Wait, tell me more about this Great Darkness. I only know the Great Darkness Saga from the much-missed LSH. I’ve clearly missed a bunch since then.

And wasn’t the Anti-Life Equation found in Cosmic Odyssey? Since killing a planet is still part of John Stewart’s backstory, I didn’t think that comic was removed from…

It’s part of their brand name, but no, it’s not an accurate descriptor.

There are a lot fewer jobs today — between MaxPreps and how few clicks most sports stories get, sports reporting positions are few and far between, in particular — but they still exist.

Even at this late stage in the industry, there are still more than 1,000 newspapers in America, distributed all over the country. (The…

So, how old is Harley supposed to be now? Because Old Lady Harley looks like she’s in her mid-70s. Or is that what the creators think people will look like when they’re in their mid-50s?

This is bizarre advice and not reflective of how most actual working writers got anywhere.If you want to get paid to write, doing stuff for free, hoping to get the attention of the NYC content mills isn’t the way to do it.Go work for your local newspaper in the hometown you swore you’d never move back to. You’ll get…

It’s not boilerplate — I obviously communicated my point poorly and was intending to flesh it out.

But you didn’t really raise any substantial objections — how is “go work your way up” exceptionalist? and working your way up is “bootstrapping,” I guess, but it’s also how careers work, so ... — and the notion that I’m…

Now that Twitter’s problems are all resolved, he can move on to something simpler, like the world currency market.

True.

But you’re almost definitely going to fail if you insist that you’ll write for the Atlantic or the New Yorker and no one else.

Whereas, if you decide you’re going to actually go out and get some work in the hinterlands first, you’ll have the chops to get to where you believe you deserve to be one day.

If everyone…

I’ve known a ton of folks with good college degrees who decided to sit in the town where they graduated from and, quite literally, wait for their dream jobs to call them, because they wouldn’t do an intermediate job first. (Spoiler alert: Very rarely did their dream job end up calling them.)

Don’t do work for free. But…

I’m not saying work for peanuts — I absolutely think people saying “work for free” are full of crap and absolutely not speaking from experience.

I’m saying don’t sit around, not working, because the New York Times hasn’t magically called you out of the blue. The way to get a good job is to do a good job somewhere else…

There are writing jobs out there. (Also true for other creative gigs.) Be willing to work for the little guys paying very little. Be willing to move. Be willing to write about something other than your dream job.

Get clips. Improve. Move up. Repeat.

Hoping that “Big Media” notices you is a great way to starve to death. Work for “Little Media” first, kick some ass, get some clips.

If you think you’re too good for that, you aren’t. The genius who sits around, writing nothing that’s critiqued by an editor and then subjected to public response, is a far worse writer…
