FTFY

Maybe it is their sense of humor and worked for the bride- she says she was ok with it. But as you said, a wedding should be about people focused on two people they love/care about promising to love and care about each other, not staring at the dino and wondering what it’s going to do next, which I guarantee is what…

The comments are SO weird to me. A wedding doesn’t have to be an EVENT. It can just be a happy celebration. The dinosaur didn’t steal the entire thing. Did people look at the Dino? Fuck yeah. But that doesn’t take anything away from two people promising to love each other.

Can you imagine trying to catch the bouquet with those tiny arms? No wonder they died out

To be honest, I think the sister (the one getting married) comes off as the true hero of the story here. Wearing that costume was guaranteed to siphon attention away from the bridal couple for as long as it was on, and I’m pretty skeptical of the intentions of someone who would do that at someone’s wedding (or any…

Disagree. People will actually mean it when they say, “Yes, I’d love to see your wedding photos.”

You make the citizens arrest, and I will start whomping people! I am on your team- the correct team- on this.

Because it’s not the company paying her, it’s her co-writer paying her out of his own pocket. The company isn’t recognizing what she is worth, or that pay parity is necessary. She ends up with an approximately equal amount of money, because he was nice enough to offer (and she explicitly says that it was gracious of…

It’s nothing resembling parity if the money isn’t coming from the actual employer.

Way to go WB, you tanked a sequel to your incredibly lucrative property before your script is complete.  That’s a Sony level of incompetence.

Yeah, and I can accept that TV experience doesn’t exactly correlate to movie-writing experience. But a) if experience is the key factor here, surely there’s enough overlap that it should count for something, and b) even if you remove that from the equation entirely, it’s a guy who wrote 2.5 movies versus a woman who…

It’s not just the studios. These writers have representation from large talent agencies. They are part of the problem. It seems like they are unwilling to press these issues as well.

Nor should her co-writer dude have to give up his money when it’s the studio’s cascade of errors that’s created this gross disparity.

Thank you.  That was exactly where my question was that wasn’t clear in the article.  I think it’s absolutely fair to compensate in line with experience (and a scary, slippery slope to violate that for ‘optics’ reasons.  With what you said then she was right to be outraged and walk away.  It should have been offered…

“Naturally, Lim walked away, and a few months later Chiarelli offered her half of his salary to reach some semblance of parity. She still said no, and now she’s my fucking hero.”

What is it about seeing a white guy that makes employers give him gobs of money for no real reason? I don’t get it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The “troubling precedent” was what stood out to me. Someone typed that and didn’t see anything wrong with it. Why you would ever say something like that regarding someone’s PAY? What’s a troubling precedent is Hollywood’s decision to continue to employ pedophiles and abusers and shitheads. 

I was going to try and play Devil’s Advocate based on experience (hey, it counts!), but, on IMDB, Adele actually has more writing and producing credits than Peter, although her writing is primarily TV, Peter only has 3 screenplays to his credit to her 14 - so that explanation is actually NOT A THING!
