“Hey, slow news day but I think I just came up with a way for us to get some of that sweet, sweet Wednesday Addams popularity clickbait-action!!!”

Ortega is “catching heat?” Sourced to a tweet? A tweet that doesn’t even blame Ortega BTW. Hell, this article doesn’t blame even Ortega, so that’s a weird ass clickbait title. Which it shouldn’t because, obviously, a 19 year old in her first massive production isn’t going to walk on set and say, “Shut this shit down.…

they fucking HATE how all their prestige has withered and died in increments ever since the G/O Media acquisition. It was dead long before the attempted LA relocation resulted in an exodus, and it’s just been even more of a shambling zombie since then.

Yeah man like how am I supposed to perform my Two Minutes Hate to this bullshit?  It barely gives me half an outrage chub.

nothing in this blog shows any evidence of her “catching heat” other than from the blogger. maybe you forgot to cut&paste those tweets?

So, to clarify: a young actress starring in a hotly-anticipated TV series experienced as-yet-unidentified symptoms of an illness, and because she didn’t instantly know it was Covid and single-handedly halt production over it, she deserves to be put on blast?

I mean, she’s saying retrospectively she knew it was her first day of Covid. There’s nothing to say exactly who was giving her medicine or who knew what at what time and making her into the bad guy for telling an anecdote is silly. Frankly, I don’t work on a movie set, but our policy was pretty much the same - someone…

Its less liberties with the source , and more ..this is offensive to people from Ireland . I mean hobbits arent real , but coding them in a horribly racist way is still offensive . Like if someone portayed Dark Elves using blackface and 1920s ‘african jungle savage’ tropes.

While they're at it can they recast the hobbits with actual Irish actors ( of all colours) , or just drop the racist as hell portrayal of them as dirt covered illiterate Oirish tinkers.( but keep Lenny Henry maybe , and just let him use his own accent instead)

Nah, people can star in Marvel stuff and know it’s just good fun. I doubt many of the actors really think they’re making high art.

Look at this guy who has never questioned his employer or any of the decisions they made!!

I’m not sure how much anonymous random internet chatter is worth to call it officially “criticism”, but there were some comments stating that instead of Brandon Frasier wearing prosthetics, the film should have cast an actual 600 lb actor for the role. Those comments didn’t last long when others pointed out how…

You either die a journalist, or work long enough for the AVClub to see yourself stripping interviews for clickbait.

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the subject of a shitty thinkpiece/"news" article about whether the MCU is art.

About seven-eighths of his workforce is gone in a month, including people he definitely needs but didn’t ask why they were there.

The human rights team, for instance, were the specialists in handling the regular requests from governments to delete tweets, unmask accounts and so on. Without them, you can count on people…

I feel like all these old men should form a club where they can find the best clouds to yell at, go the fuck over there and keep their dumb opinions to themselves.

Dipping his toe in the tv pool makes a lot of sense. Pulling off a great show is an amazing feet, but anyone is gonna be a shoe-in, it’s him. I feel like when you put as much heart and sole into your films as QT does, you have to take some time to heel when it’s done. I wonder if it’ll be serious or, like his films,…

My guess is he’s a Republican who doesn’t like Trump.
