I read the article and the sisters were kind of calling each other’s bluff even up until the ceremony, it sounds like this was totally sisterly humor sharing. My MOH swore she was going to dance out to a separate soundtrack than everyone else, and I genuinely was like, girl you do you. But she chickened our…

I think you really hit the nail on the head. All these people who are bemoaning the MOH for stealing attention are making a HUGE assumption that the bride cares about being the center of attention. It’s not for everybody!

awesome hahah. go iceland!

Add this to the list. 

Shut up, tomato.

It’s nothing resembling parity if the money isn’t coming from the actual employer.

You know exactly why it’s a big deal to come out as gay, especially when you’re at the top the one who has so often been involved in making LGBTQ people feel uncomfortable.

Way to go WB, you tanked a sequel to your incredibly lucrative property before your script is complete.  That’s a Sony level of incompetence.

I have to question the judgment of anyone who thought Kevin Hart should be part of a serious discussion. If you need someone who strives to be the loudest person in the room and shouts over everyone else, then you call Kevin. If you need someone who actually listens, he’s not it.

Yeah, and I can accept that TV experience doesn’t exactly correlate to movie-writing experience. But a) if experience is the key factor here, surely there’s enough overlap that it should count for something, and b) even if you remove that from the equation entirely, it’s a guy who wrote 2.5 movies versus a woman who…

when she found she was making nearly eight to 10 times less than her fellow co-writer, Peter Chiarelli, a white man.

Thank you.  That was exactly where my question was that wasn’t clear in the article.  I think it’s absolutely fair to compensate in line with experience (and a scary, slippery slope to violate that for ‘optics’ reasons.  With what you said then she was right to be outraged and walk away.  It should have been offered…

“Naturally, Lim walked away, and a few months later Chiarelli offered her half of his salary to reach some semblance of parity. She still said no, and now she’s my fucking hero.”

Being a White guy. That’s it.

I found Chappelle’s recent declaration that Hart was “obviously joking” about the old homophobic tweets to be interesting in that it seemed very obvious to me that he wasn’t. It was rage contoured into a series of “jokes.”

I was going to try and play Devil’s Advocate based on experience (hey, it counts!), but, on IMDB, Adele actually has more writing and producing credits than Peter, although her writing is primarily TV, Peter only has 3 screenplays to his credit to her 14 - so that explanation is actually NOT A THING!

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

I just got into a conversation with someone on da’book in regards to Malik Yoba and apparently he did not tell his children about his sexual preferences before his interview. My response was why did he have to tell his children who he sleeps with? Why is it we demand non-cis individuals announce who they are before…

Being gay and black is sometimes too much. Its a constant assault coming from all directions. Life used to give us so little. Today’s kid have a young talented role model and its depressing to see the cuts he has to take.
