Exactly: it says a lot about someone’s world view if “It happens to most women” somehow does not equate to “a societal issue”.

No prob, happy to help — staffing and climbing that ladder can be a tough slog, but if it’s what you truly want to do with your life, go burn down those walls and make it happen. One script at a time.

Ha, sorry — that’s one of the hardest parts and why you need to keep the networking angle open, unfortunately — most of us legit can’t read outside (aka non-repped, non-friend) stuff, for legal reasons. That’s actually one of the uses of a spec based on existing shows... since it’s not an original concept you’re more…

To be clear, I didn’t mean that she/anyone was targeted as a reaction to controversial statements (if anything, she was likely targeted for her sweetness); I just meant that the threat of doxxing someone seems to loom large mostly if you’re famous, have said controversial or overly personal shit you’d be embarrassed…

Ugh. People are poops. That said, and while I can’t be sure, it *seems* to me that Mindymoo etc weren’t in the habit of saying anything controversial? So even if the trolls could say “tadahhhh, you are actually John T Banks of Edmund, Ohio!”... so? But perhaps her stuff about her partner was more personal than she’d…

Do you live in a major market for staff positions, or intend to move to one? Have you been given clear feedback in your lifetime that makes you confident that you have actual talent? Do you have a sense of what type of writing you intend to pursue in TV (there is a big difference between, say, reality or “lifestyle”…

trolling how (feeling like I missed something)? Was it harassing speech, or gross gifs etc?

See also: when your bag and boobs are too heavy, and your boot heels too high and thin. Fashion is often the enemy of balance and grace - in movement, if not still.

“So 4 to 1 odds her ex is her brother or cousin?”

I see this and all I think is... what the fuck is going on in LUXEMBOURG?

Yup. An Oscar winner once stopped a shot and kicked me off set (well, out of his eyeline) and it remains a fond memory.

Agreed, but if she is actually suffering from the psychological damage of abuse (i.e. in denial and twisting her own internal thought process so as to not see it as abuse) then her comment makes sense in the saddest of ways. Not so much victim blaming as victim othering/distancing.

Kanye shoulda used these ladies. Especially the wee ones...

Aw, shit. That makes me sad. No disrespect to the actress — there wasn’t much of her to go by in the first S1 — but from what I saw of Katrina there was very little about that character (beyond the ability of her story to provide flashback potential) that was very interesting. Witches aren’t super fresh. Witches who…

They had a great hook, here — the same one behind the success of tons of long lived shows like X-Files, Fringe, all the way back to fricking Moonlighting: “attractive M/F odd couple investigates shenanigans with increasing sexual tension”.

Depp is in ZERO position to judge without being a hypocrite (skeeves me out that my generation made Depp/Ryder into some amazing romantic love story) but I totally agree that as a parent his *job* is to judge and worry. I don’t take the word of bullshit gossip press, but if he blames Paradis he’s a dickbag. Blame…

Well, then he deserves better than someone who seems so immature and fame thirsty and dismissive (if this is all real).

OH PLEASE GOD, let it be

I find it all so, painfully awkward. It’s... curated gossip? Artisanal humblebragging?

Oh. MY. God.
