Sounds fine. Anyone who doesn’t wanna do sex scenes shouldn’t do them, and anyone that wants to should be free to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, they know. It’s just meant to keep fanning those last burning embers of angry commenters and clicks going on and on about it.

This wouldn’t be an issue if writers didn’t get fucked by greedy, conniving execs.

You hear that, Hollywood? Every minute you delay is a minute the Stranger Things kids get older and older. At this rate they’re going to look so old by the time filming starts that you’ll have to set the final season in 2024. Give the writers what they want or no more 80's references on your monster show.

I’m glad it is an issue. Doing this helps writers on other shows, too.

I think they’re also one of the few showrunners who don’t have to worry about their show being cancelled and could spark a bidding war between streamers.

Frankly, if the Duffer Brothers *do* have all the scripts completely and are simply postponing production in order to use Stranger Things as leverage to help the protesting writers, my respect for them has reached its fucking peak. Good for them. And it might work, too, given how enormous the show is. This is a…

I got a chuckle from the examples given and at no point did it feel like they were being overly harsh to her (or harsh at all)

“Hey Paul, thanks for speaking with us! How’s the new album going?”

If (and it’s an if) “cancelling” really means anything, it definitely does not mean “experiencing any criticism at all”, which is how she seems to be using the word (and she’s not alone in this regard).

I’m all for approaching most people in good faith, but if approaching everyone in good faith leaves even the slightest chance of being inseminated by Elon Musk, I think I’ll go on being a bit discriminatory.

RIP Grimes

Glad we got his perspective. Now, can somebody please FIND JA RULE, get a hold of this motherfucker so I can make sense of all this!

Stanley’s initial statement to me smacked of “you kids are just a bunch of posers, back in the ’70s, we were rock’n’roll gender-bending pioneers!”

Zaslav likes stories so much, he trashed over a dozen of them. One thing that I bet really motivates writers to write is the opportunity to finish their story and have someone immediately dump it in the garbage.

Given the general nature of this discussion, it seems like a few things about this situation can be true simultaneously:

Hi, Pete!

Idk, I actually like him fine.  I think he’s talented enough at comedy, and seems like a nice dude, but I don’t know that he would have risen this far, this fast without his high-profile media stuff.  He was a background player on SNL before he started dating famous women.  I think he eventually would have made a name…

sounds like 2018's funniest show. i’ll probably watch that one episode that sounds good, but parodying ‘fast and furious’ (and doing such a bad job that it comes off like a ‘entourage’ parody) sounds like pulling teeth.

I mean, I’m a well-wisher of Pete Davidson, in that I wish him no specific harm. But this:
