Man, “bullying” is doing a LOTTA work in that headline.

I really wanted it to have just been founded by a guy named “Douglas Peoples” or something

Maybe it’ll end up like this place.

Paul. Dude. Stop getting up your own butt about “Puritanism.” In the year of someone’s Lord 2021 there’s more than enough mainstream sexy-times movies of ALL stripes to go around, on all sorts of platforms, for pretty much anyone old enough to access the internet to consume.

After seeing Farrow interviewed on screen, I can understand how he can worm his way into people’s lives to expose scandal. He comes across as utterly unthreatening, maybe even incapable of exerting any kind of influence. Of course, underestimation is his targets’ gravest mistake.

He did care in a sense. He did take risks others would not. He knew a good movie, he had good instincts. But those quickly and easily meshed into his methods of power and control, mostly over young actresses. Forcing Salma Hayek to add nudity to “Frida” or he’d send it Straight-To-Video is an example of this. “Frida”?…

Ok, but is this BEFORE deductions? Because everyone in the biz knows movies never make any actual “profit.” Thanks to “Hollywood Accounting,” the original Star Wars (one of the highest grossing movies of all time) 40+ years on has yet to turn a true profit.

according to Toronto voice and casting director Debra Toffan, the show always uses male actors. “The boy’s voice with a bit of raspy-huskiness worked really well,” she tells The Toronto Star. “We certainly tried female [actors], but there was too much sweetness. [D.W.’s] tough and a bit bratty. She’s not afraid of…

“You know, you almost forget it’s erotic.”

The studio placated Bette Davis with her own NOT-Gone-with-the-Wind storyline when she was denied the role of Scarlet O’Hara, and she won a dang Oscar for it.

I think when you count its inception as The Family Channel (then Fox Family, then ABC Family, then FreeForm) it’s 44 years old.

That all sounds like a stretch, dude. Someone who’s been around for 25 years has been around for 25 years. It’s not any less creepy when 100 year old vampires pose as “high schoolers” in shitty romance novels, and people use the exact same excuses (“timeless being; not actually that mature actually”)

MST3K was like, “worried about being PC” before it was really a thing in comedy (ditto The Simpsons, as a side-note) - and it’s some of the best aged comedy out there. The lack of centering of male insecurities probably was helped by the fact that Frank Conniff is a genuine sweetheart, and it had two (2!!!) women…

Take your damn star

“older woman inexplicably falls for unremarkable teen boy” is a stupid trope that will never not be creepy to me, both for its premise and for the questions that arise about the people who write it. I thought this show was supposed to be groundbreaking and fresh, or something.

it seriously does

I mean those are a stretch too. This is a stock Hollywood/Media thing for men and women. Anne Bankroft was in her late 30's when she played the “cougar” to 30 year old Dennis Hoffman’s “graduate.”

They try to get self-identifying “conservatives” and “Republicans,” too, but there aren’t very many of those left that aren’t also at least white supremacist sympathizers.

I have no doubt this was her personal decision to leave, as the execs at ABC knew all the dramatics between Behar and her were great for ratings and publicity. She sort of became a “love to hate” figure among certain political sectors. Also, regarding her constant interrupting and name-dropping of her dad, one of my…

Been watching a bunch of “Frasier” as of late, it’s free on Hulu and it’s a pleasant show for the most part. Niles is the best part of it IMO (ok well maybe Eddie, but he’s the best human). It gets pretty exhausting watching the 40-something+ old balding, average-looking Frasier Crane paired every other week with love…
