“...there will also be some new drama between Daniel’s daughter (played by Mary Mouser) and her friend Tory at Cobra Kai (played by Peyton List)...”

whoops, it turns out she’s not filing a lawsuit, and you don’t have to violate the law to be a jerk (see OP)

“When I realised how wrong it was for me to use that word, I felt like a real re - hang on, my daughter’s trying to get my attention over there.”

Yeah, she has a long twitter thread up about the movie, in which she completely spoils the ending (which I don’t blame her for at all, but I’ll put up a big SPOILER WARNING in case people want to see the film and not know).

Apparently, in the movie, the “Knox” character ends up being an accessory to the murder after…

For an ordinary adult, the notion that it took him this goddamn long to figure out how bad that slur is, and the fact that his daughter had to carefully explain it to him, should be a goddamn embarrassment.

Disney is worth over 300 billion dollars how much more money do they need?

You stopped going to movie theaters 20 years ago because actors get paid?

The pandemic didn’t mean they weren’t bound to the contract they agreed to. The right thing would have been to go back to her people and say “hey, we want to put this on Disney+” and hand her a big sack of cash. Her contract, which isn’t included in the PDF out there of the suit itself, purportedly based her backend…

You realize you are effectively siding with Disney with this take, right? You know, the company who has more money than can be spent in a thousand lifetimes?

This has nothing to do with the pandemic

Nobody is “forced” to go to the theater. If you don’t want to go, you can wait. And the disease is only “raging” among morons who refused to get vaccinated. Contracting covid while vaccinated is comparatively rare, and the ones who do contract it typically have mild to no symptoms.

ScarJo is rich but it's money she earned and no one, no matter how rich, is just gonna say "Sure, keep my $50 million."

I assume they meant effigy. As in the picture.

The fact that there was an email on this issue makes it likely that this issue was not addressed in the contract at all.

Oh, don’t be silly. HBO is a professional organisation.

OK

I always wonder at what point in the production cycle of something like this the executive who greenlit it realises, as the blood drains from their face, that they’ll need to find a cardboard box for their personal items by day’s end.

Agreed.  Dani isn’t a skeeze but he is definitely someone who embraces life fully.  I imagine he’s often in some sort of group sex scenario, just delighted with all the limbs.

I was distracted throughout the entire date trying to recall where I knew the actor from, and it didn’t click until the coffee date: the popular, good-looking boss that David Brent was bitterly jealous of on ‘The Office’.

You point out that they call out “Ted!” like he’s Norm without mentioning that Norm is Ted’s uncle? Well, I mean the actors are uncle-nephew.
