We really missed the mark. Forget AV Club and Jezebel, this should be on Jalopnik.

Requisition me a beat, mon.

But what’s the real difference? If you’re worried about the anonymous laborers on the production, it’s not their fault when a movie or TV show turns out be crappy any more than it’s their fault that the star did bad things. The logical extension of your argument is that people should see movies and TV shows they don’t…

The other movies and TV shows we’re watching instead also have key grips and craft service providers. Should I go see movies I have no interest in just to support random movie professionals I’ve never met? “One ticket for The Emoji Movie please. I hear the lighting designer on that one just bought a new house. He…

Movies are produced by hundreds of people, to say that none of them deserve money because one of the actors in the movie has some allegations against him is helping no one.

This article says Carsey-Werner owns the show.

poorly worded.

I’m just shocked it took this long to occur.

I wasn’t claiming that. That’s an entirely understandable reaction for survivors. I’m just referring to folks on the outside, like most of us here.

Yes. Out of 7.5 billion people, you’re the only one, you monster!

I don’t think it’s ever helpful to tell someone how they should or shouldn’t feel about something. Actions are another story. Social pressure is a thing and it’s entirely acceptable to say that you think people should stop financially supporting Actor X when it comes out they’re a sexual assaulter, or whatever. Of…

I’m not trying to hash out art-from-artist, just throwing out a possible explanation for why the response is different for those two. For Spacey I think probably a lot of people are deliberately unwilling to make the separation, again because minors; for CK it’s a lot harder to separate when probably 20+ minutes of an…

Actually no, only people who are working towards redemption deserve it. Everyone deserves the expectation that they can work towards redemption, but you still have to put in the work.

Redemption is a process that involves real contrition and attempts to repair the damage they did. It’s earned. Hollywood just put Mel Gibson on timeout. That’s not redemption.

If “forgive” even the right word? If you weren’t one of the victims, maybe it’s not really your place to forgive or not.

#MAGA Nation: “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!”

BTW, no one has mentioned that ABC president who made the call, Channing Dungey is the first African-American women to run a network. I met her once–amazing combo of polished and down-to-earth. Good for you Channing!

Honest question: is there any value in engaging the Trump base? We spent all of 2017 with journalists combing Appalachia and the midwest trying to listen to and understand Trump voters, their concerns, their desires, fueling a barrage of Trump-splaining articles and Op Eds that don’t amount to much. There’s no…

Craft brew pretentiousness is one of the main reasons I really don’t like drinking beer anymore.

It’s a good idea, but Valerie Harper wasn’t a producer/creator of “Valerie”, therefore expendable. Roseanne Barr would’ve just been collecting checks.
