Hell no.  I didn't realize that Jezebel was still a thing.  I was missing my daily dose of nonsense.

Doctor Zhivago in space is whole lot more ambitious of a failure than “Wouldn’t it be cool if I pissed off all those Reddit users by subverting their expectations?”

I never quite got why it HAD to be linked to the Skywalkers

Exactly.  Also, what does Ryan Gosling being nominated have to do with her not being nominated.  

The people who did the nominating thought other actors and directors that did a better job than Gerwig and Robbie, both of whom have had nominations before.

Yeah, that quote was terrible all around.

Most of these things are performative to sooth the recreationally outraged that are chronically online.

Marvel better get her on the phone.  Worked like a charm the last time.

Love Tatiana.  Love Jen Walters (I am old.). Terrible show.  At least give us Ally McBeal with CGI.

There was an opportunity to make tons of great television during the streaming wars when companies were throwing money at content. Apparently, there aren’t enough good writers to go around. Can’t blame David Zaslav for everything.

Because there are onlytwo acceptable responses, fake laugh hysterically or slap the shit out of Jo Koy.

Same here.  I had high hopes.  Watch the entire first season but wasn’t interested in returning.

This should be the mandate for all new writers to existing franchises. If a writer can’t work within those constraints, then write something new.

Do you think Ben Affleck sleeps on couches now?

Just a giant open “Fuck you” to the people who want these movies to be nothing but a franchise blowjob full of cameos.

Let’s not. He may suck now but let’s not give two white dudes credit for his success in retrospect. I saw him when he was a teenager and I was in college and even back then he was a very good comedian. I like Neil Brennan but at his best he is never as good as Dave at his best.

And if he isn’t getting phone, text or email messages, someone is being paid (I hope) to gather and curate all of the information he would need helming huge projects like these. I kind of hoped the days of the Precious creatives were over, but...

I saw the special and I understand why they dd it.  When your embellishments (lies) can be easily traced back to real people and are quite damaging to their reputation then I think all bets are off.  

Or the people here aren’t representative of the general population. 

Why?
