Nothing really against the article, but it boils down to: “Minty fastfood shake mysteriously tastes like a different minty fastfood shake.”

Back on down there Francis (“Bootlicker” for Christ’s sake!). Everyone just needs to keep their hands off of other people’s stuff. You want to report the guy driver? Great! But this went the only way it could.

It is hard to know what is true. But the claim was that he was one of the producers, and he was part of the decision to try to locate the shooting location to avoid a lot of union interference and save costs. Part of that for example was hiring a less expensive and experienced weapons handler. So while he may not have…

I have always been a devoted Best Foods user (what Hellmans is called on the west coast), but I do like Kewpie. That said, you are right, my biggest objection is the bottle feel, which somehow makes me question the product quality, even if that is irrational.

I think you misread my take, and I admit it is not clear enough. I am completely cool with them cutting all ties and giving him zilch. What I am saying is that by continuing to sell his line, they are still promoting his name and ideas, even if he is not getting paid. They should stop giving him money AND stop putting…

He is not telling them how to speak. This is a comment board, and he is commenting about the fact that this sort of rhetoric does not really help and tends to dilute the message. You are free to disagree of course.

This whole thing sucks. “Kanye is bad, so we are not going to do business with him, but we are going to still sell his line, promote his works, keep his name and ideas out there, and just keep the money”

I know it is not “Instant”, but Amazon Fresh works great for me. I already have a Prime account, so no subscription fee. Prices are as good or better than my other local stores. Order needs to be over $35 to be free delivery, which is pretty easy with groceries. And just pick a 2 hour window. I don’t need it any…

Yes! Fun games that don’t need internet access to work. I have a couple, but always looking for new ones.

So, basically, something happened that she felt was disrespectful

So what happened to her was horrible. But in the end she will likely get caught, and then face the original 20 years. The old way she had probation and the extra money from the gofundme to rebuild some sort of life.

Yeah, Rome was not HBO’s fault. It was immensely expensive, and they needed the BBC to help pay the bills. When Rome did poorly in the UK, the BBC decided to cut their losses. HBO kept it up for another year but that was the end.

Since we are all just speculating, I am going to guess the eyebrows. Hers are thicker. That is in now actually, but some guy could have been put off and want her to be more his idea of feminine.

What a weird reply. I was not trying to hijack anything. You mentioned some stuff about Letterman in response to this article, and I mentioned that in my opinion the stuff you mentioned did not seem relevant to this particular story. No beef with you in particular. The fact that a number of people agreed with me is…

Yes, it is too much to hope. They will either just fade back into the woodwork, or claim that it was the show’s fault for not making it clearer about the actor. No one ever admits it was none of their business in the first place.

Lindsay Ellis WAS unfairly attacked, but it is not accurate to call it “right wingers” (although I am sure they may have contributed). The biggest onslaught came when she DARED to say that Raya the Last Dragon was too derivative of The Last Airbender (which is absolutely was) and was attacked as racist and trying to…

Pretty simple in the end. Their innovative stuff is interesting, but not generating the buzz that they want, and safe sells. People say they want new, but they flock to familiar.

Except that none of that is actually present in the interview if you watch it (which unfortunately avclub did not bother with).

Nah. Have the recent Superman appearances been in movies that were trashed? Yes. Has the Witcher been almost universally praised? Yes. Does that translate to Witcher being a bigger name than Superman? Not by ANY stretch of the imagination. 

Swift, at the peak of her power, became an icon of white woman victimhood, antagonizing a mentally ill Black man on music’s biggest stage.
