I think maybe he's saying that this sounds like a Manic Pixie Dreamgirl perq that wouldn't work for everyone. I'm not sure how I feel, and I don't have all the information necessary to assess, but can you see this working for someone who isn't a young-ish white girl?

I'll bet if we gave a pop quiz on your posts on this thread, we'd find that nobody bothered to read them.

Thanks so much for this comment.

I sat behind Gary Busey while he very intensely watched Gerard Depardieu's Cyrano. Busey was... distracting.

Hi! HR rep here. Allegations, when properly investigated, can definitely result in negative repercussions, up to and including termination. In this case, it seems clear that there were many witnessed incidents that took place over time in a workplace that tried very hard to ignore what was going on. When the…

This is another thing that has annoyed me about films for a long time. Actors are often much too old for the roles they are commonly cast to play. I first noticed this when I realized almost all movie dads are in their 50s. Some real life dads are that age but most are at least a decade younger. Men in Hollywood do…

You forgot almost all of the hyperlinks for this article.

The numbers are 50/50 in grad school, so yes, women are interested in directing.

You don't have to like or recommend middling posts for me. I just don't comment enough to have privileges anymore. C'est la vie!

He certainly doesn't seem like any kind of special mysterious treat anymore, not that he was required to commodify himself sexually for me. I'm good with decent acting and fun interviews, which he has also been kind of lax on lately.

He looks about as good as my husband, who I get to fuck. If "I'm like your husband only you can't fuck me" is his new brand, I see his popularity gently waning.

The themes developed in the sequels. Alien history: the role of Ripley was initially conceived to be played by a man. A woman was cast instead and no change was made to the script to incorporate the change. It did not make a difference. True story. If you rewatch the first film you'll find that all the…

I gather that you didn't work as a teacher, social worker, or any field that is necessary though less lucrative. I agree that people are better off letting go of the goodies, but many can do that and still struggle with an inadequate income in necessary professions.

(Pssst... Don't expose the humblebrag)

Don't worry. It will happen almost overnight.

I thought there was a definite dig at his estranged son Ronan in the film. Peter Sarsgaard's character is a privileged State Department attaché, toying with the idea of a political career but too shallow to notice that Cate Blanchett's character is all surface, and a thin surface at that. For that matter, it isn't…

Not if it's in school loans.

Now you're talking gobbledy-gook. This is an all-white staff in a community that is not all white. If you think that isn't notable or worthy of discussion that's interesting, but you're taking the extra step of stomping even a remark in that direction. OK! Let's not talk about race together forever and ever. You…

I have to admit, I wasn't conducting a serious statistical analysis. And of course they don't show the janitorial staff, which is always a treasure-trove of corporate diversity.

So statistically only two or three of those white people shouldn't be. Good to know!
