I think one more strongly worded letter would have done the trick!

I look forward to him outlining what the alternative was other than letting studios own your image forever while keeping your residuals to themselves. Because it’s not like there weren’t months of negotiations and the studios basically saying “nope.”

Yes, the most effective labor negotiating tactic in history, that gave us things like the 8-hour workday and countless other things that improved the lives of workers (and did not destroy the economy the way capital always claims it will), is “myopic.” What the fuck?

GOP passes abortion ban: It’s the will of the people!

GOP: we’re putting abortion back to the states.

I don’t care anymore.

and now right wingers, especially the Attorney General of Alabama, want the charges to be escalated and want the state legislature to amend the laws to make it happen.

“[There’s] a big fight in Episode 6, but there’s also this incredibly vulnerable conversation between a broken Gravik and a really broken Fury, who we ultimately learn is G’iah. But when you’re watching it, you are watching two men say ‘I’m sorry,’ which is kind of groundbreaking in a way,” he contends in…

“Oh, I don’t read reviews. With all due respect,” he tells Variety. “For me, I view all the storytelling work I do as a dialogue with an audience. When the show is finished and put up on the screen, that’s my half of the dialogue. And the audience then starts their half of the response to it.

The problem Marvel seem to run into (and probably most superhero films/TV) is they want to play around with genre, but they never really commit to it because they worry about the dummies their audience not being able to follow along (and, of course, they need to string along the hardcore fans with nods to significant…

The show really does a bad job, in my opinion, of setting up who everyone is, what their motivations are, etc. and by the time I’ve got it all figured out, they end the season (or half season) and then I forget and have to relearn who all the people are. Like half the characters are just “white guy with long brown…

“The basic sort of premise of the film, politically speaking, is that men and women are on two sides and they hate each other,”

They’re really telling on themselves, aren’t they?

I think in both instances the show had the idea of a rogue group trying to have a revolution, the producers saw that the characters actually made sense, so they did their best to stop the audience from sympathizing with the revolutionary characters.

Marvel had a real opportunity here to break out of their box and lean into the obvious mystery/paranoia of a spy thriller. Somehow, they decided to ditch that for something of a mess.

Conservatives: No one wants to see a film criticising the patriarchy

You’d think these men would realize their disproportionate reactions to a fictional character is mass broadcast advertising for every insecurity and bout of jealousy they’ve ever had.

“Facts don’t care about your feelings” is such a funny personal motto for someone reacting this way to a movie about a toy.  

My kid is working at a theatre this summer and they have been absolutely slammed since Barbie came out. He’s worked like 50 hours in the last six days.

Surest sign yet that Musk is surrounded only by yes-men who won’t push back on even the dumbest ideas.
