for frustrated office workers it was a stress outlet. like most of that kind of humor the line eventually crosses from “relatable overworked guy who is grumpy with good cause” and “ meanspirited jerk who thinks he is smarter than everyone else” he became the pointy haired boss. and worse, he was an early techbro. i…

Yes and no?

Does anyone know if the driving force originally behind Forza

What I've heard about the Hadrian situation is that he was a bit too touchy-feely with young Antinous and that the boy's fatal fall into the Nile may have been due to a lover's quarrel with the Emperor, thus his extravagant grief and all the statues of the deceased.

Yet, for the next 3,000 years after they were built, almost nothing changed in Egypt except for the “huge pyramids are too expensive, so let’s not build them anymore” thinking.

I think the lesson there is “Don’t put yourself on a super high pedestal if you’re almost certainly going to fall off it.” Joss the talented wordsmith who’s great at writing about the kind of ass-kicking hot chicks he happens to find attractive would’ve been more likely to weather the controversy than Joss the genius…

Apparently the author may have some prior experience with murder...

Yeah but some of those cinematic carnival rides really do suck. Take that aggressively mediocre Tomb Raider movie. The reviews for this one are more or less saying the same thing.

The revivial was the same people but many fewer of them, which was the problem. (And even more true of the movies.) It was the huge room constantly pitching that made the original run so indelible. (“The short answers is, I’m teaching.” Jesus, that’s funny, and it’s not the sort of joke than just anybody would come up…

What, it just so happens that literally every notable event in Han Solo’s life prior to ANH occurred within the space of a week.

The firearms were left “completely unattended?” I’m far from an expert, but just from a Twitter thread by an experienced armorer there are so many things wrong with that statement that I’m surprised her attorneys would say it publicly.

“Whenever Edward is on screen, Edward should be asking ‘Where’s Edward?’”

There are some good actors who can take a lackluster (or even shit) script and do a lot with it; and then there are some good actors who can’t work with a lackluster script and just kind of face-plant. I think Natalie Portman (based off of Thor, Dark World, the Star Wars prequels) is one of the latter.

Of course it matters. Imagine a series set in Italy where the grandmother busts out her classic Kansas City-style ribs.

I think the reason is that certain shitty behavior highlights parts of work that were previously overlooked, and so what was once seen as fine, suddenly becomes a lot more concerning.

I love Whedon’s work. It is a big reason I work in the TV industry. But the shit people describe from the Buffy was not acceptable. I’ve worked with arsehole directors and producers, but nothing where every female cast member is traumatised 20 years later. Where the director isn’t allowed around one of the shows stars…
