The agent’s job is to get her booked, and then to get her the highest wage the studio will offer. If, while negotiating for a part the studio says “you know what? There are plenty of other actresses whose agents will take a smaller paycheck.” then the agent isn’t able to book her that job. It’s an industry-wide…

Right. And the studio offers that agent much less than they offer a male star’s agent.

Congratulations! You seem to have missed her point entirely. She’s trying to use her position of privilege, which she openly acknowledges above, to highlight the issue all women face. You talk about her privilege as if it can only be evil, as if using that word shuts down any point she is trying to make and any change…

“youngish”? I’m an old and he looks old to me. Yikes.

Sometimes the shorthand of a family conversation is confusing to us outsiders. I totally had no idea what you were both getting at.

Right. Like, how is this “negativity”? It’s the truth. She wasn’t making a dig or throwing elbows, she was just talking about something that happened.

Yeeeaaah... Islands in the Stream was from 1983. I know The Youngs are writing this shit nowadays but come on.

If I were a betting woman I’d say Widlar is the OP. Just a guess.

“Based on those three sentences, this is something you would like to know more about, correct?”

Oh sure. If that’s what he’s saying it’s utter bullshit, but it’s also different from “How could you do this?”

Anybody else think it looks like he’s saying “I didn’t do this”?

Oh no. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that craziness. Deep breaths. It’s a weird phenomenon where knowing someone blinds you to their evil. We can all see it, though.

I’m no lip-reading expert, but it looks like “I didn’t do this” to me.

Cheers!

Surely everyone involved was savvy enough, right? Stamos, the photographer, the photo editor who chose this shot... I think it’s sweetly self aware but not camping it up too much, or at least that’s how I’m choosing to interpret it.

I’m pretty sure this was off the books.

This makes me think of the Hawkeye Initiative, where Hawkeye is put in the same poses as female comic book characters to show how stupid the poses are, but we accept them from the ladies because we’re used to looking at them that way. Like this:

He is full-on Porky Pigging it!

Anybody else here just as outraged that she also mangled the English language by saying “could give a shit” instead of “couldn’t give a shit”? That just makes me itch.

The article above and the one linked to both say he’s playing Philip Haldiman. (I triple checked with imdb pro just in case you were getting your info elsewhere and these guys had it wrong, but it has him playing Haldiman, too.)
