It wasn’t the studio’s idea to do the reshoots. Ridley insisted on them. The studio was planning on pulling the movie while they figured out what to do, and Ridley did a lot of this (asking Plummer to take over the role, etc.) before even talking to the studio. Which is badass, and something only someone of his status…

I don’t know, I know a lot of guys who are super smart but sometimes are like functional idiots in terms of reading some situations. I’ve literally had something very similar happen with my bf, except it was even more obvious that a bunch of people were about to have sex, and it legit went completely over his head.

Jesus. The fact that Marky Mark is in a position to approve or veto Christopher Plummer as a co-star (and I’m assuming Michelle Williams in initial casting) is just one more example of how far we’ve fallen as a people.

You wouldn’t think it after all the harassment reports but lots of just normally intelligent business people are like this, too. If he found a couple of like minded guests to discuss projects with, they’d ignore the rest of the people  and hudle in the kitchen or den figuring them out.

Kind of ties in to the stories of large employers who suddenly announced their generous raises of minimum wage employees to $15 an hour. What’s in the fine print is that these positions are nearly entirely part-time, with no benefits, who stand to be even more screwed as the GOP trims down the public programs that…

I took it as creating and image that demythologizes the “other side.” Like writers of shows we all know and enjoy aren’t bestowed with, like, MORE charm and MORE luck and MORE something the rest of us commoners can only dream of. She just met these guys and was like, “Hey... you could be, like, my roommate’s ex...…

It’s always exciting when we get new writers here at Jezebel, but it’s even more exciting to see what they do next. Kara is insanely talented and this interview was a delight. Now I have a new blog to read.

Yay! So glad to see the Queen of Shade Court (which is still deeply missed) is doing so well in her career. <3

I grew up on his movies, and they have informed me as an artist, and I cannot change that fact now, but I can make different decisions moving forward.

Add John Stewart to that list too. And Keanu Reeves. I got some weird soft spot for him. Like he needs a hug.

Rogen is also happily married and made a very moving speech about Alzheimers disease to the congress. His wife’s mother has early onset Alzheimers. He just seems to be more of a mench than Franco and Apatow, he seems to have grown up, whereas they haven’t

Colbert is one of the small circle of men I think of and say to myself, “Please, please, please, don’t let them get named.” Colbert, Obama, most of the cast of Thor Ragnarok, Assorted Hot British Actors, and, once upon a time, Al Franken. Damn it.

As a former Catholic, TEAM LIONS.

I love everything you said. Also, hugs to you. You deserved so much better.

The other thing that kills me is the inherent shame and guilt that, of course, must fall on the CHILD because of bullshit Christian teachings. Honestly, like whenever anyone wrings their hands and frets over why I am now an atheist, I really just wanna answer that it’s because I fucking went to bed every night as a…

I’m loving this rant so, so, so, so much. I hate these people so much and their fake-ass morality.

Honestly I am just so sick to fucking death of American Christian church rhetoric. Like I’m so fucking sick of megachurches and smarmy, self-righteous pastors and everyone being so FUCKING INSANE about sex and sexuality. I’m sick of this country’s Pence-yness and I’m sick of disgusting religious nonsense having any…

yep. combine that with the obsession with (female) sexual purity and deeply skewed power dynamic, and you literally could not concoct a more predatory environment.

He was her fucking youth pastor. Don’t try to excuse him. JFC.
