If that's the case, though, why not admit it? It's only about a billion times less embarassing than what we already know about R. Kelly's sex life.

The non-answers are extremely telling.

No, you said that your only takeaway from the story was blaming the parents. I disagree strongly with what both of you said, but at least the other guy phrased it with more nuance and tact.

It's sort of unclear as to whether or not OJ was actively involved in writing the book. But anyway, a judge gave the Goldman family the rights to the book as part of their civil action against OJ.

Well…yeah. Regardless of guilt who wouldn't be pissed at being accused of this?

Apparently, they should have known that R. Kelly was a sexual predator and prevented this from happening, I guess? Never mind that that completely ignores the realities of how emotional abuse, fame and power work, or that the women have been legal adults for (I believe) most of their time with R. Kelly…

No, because when it was released it was by the Goldman family. :D

So will this thread be a repeat of the trainwreck from earlier with multiple people insisting that this is somehow entirely the fault of the parents?

@greenspanDan:disqus and @disqus_6z9Bue6J5W:disqus downthread, among others, are right. The Muppets on ABC was…not good at the start. Strict Kermit is fine - that's what we had back in The Muppet Show. What we got here instead was Asshole Kermit, which was plain and simple not any fun to watch. The retooling…

…you mean the one they already rebooted on the CW a few years ago, sans puppets?

Beauty and the Beast aside (because that was close to a scene-for-scene remake in a lot of places) they haven't been bad, especially when they take different angles on the material like Pete's Dragon and Maleficent did.

I think it's the latter. I did a quick Google for the phrase White House Theme Weeks before 2017, and didn't really come up with anything.

…they aren't "putting off" anything. It takes a lot of time for these effects-heavy tentpoles to come together, especially when your star is in demand.

Is he even contractually able to? He's Commissioner Gordon in the DC movies, and I can't think of any actors that have appeared in both universes…

That's really cool! :D What kind of stuff do you sell?

…not seeing an issue here…

Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?

OH GOD IT'S A PREQUEL TO THE HOLIDAY SPECIAL

We all know about R. Kelly. None of these women were going in blind.
