Movies are supposed to generate profit, so it depends entirely on how much money they spent making/advertising it.

TASER or TEARS, since those are made of the five most-used letters in English

ADHD cleaning. Already a pro at this (when I remember to start doing it).

Pugh has literally said nothing about any of it. She has merely remained silent. She hasn’t trashed Wilde, she hasn’t trashed the movie.

It’s getting more and more apparent.

It was grooming, right? “Prostitute yourself to me. It’s normal. Everyone does it. Here’s an example.”

Orchids love this.

Olivia Wilde, as a promising director, has so much less worth to Hollywood than Florence Pugh, as a star actor, has.

OH, HAI, I AM CANADIAN AND HAVE AN OPINION ON POUTINE, YOU MUST WANT MY OPINION HERE.

I think the show has continued to get most of its gags from two ideas Taika Waititi riffed on in the original movie:

I thought I read somewhere that Wilde was originally supposed to be the female lead (with Florence Pugh playing her role) and Harry Styles was always meant to be the male lead, but they couldn’t make his scheduling work.

And a new generation fumbles its way toward an understanding of the word “charisma”.

Yeah, it’s an academic question. “Can you? It’ll be disgusting, and we all agree on that, but ~can~ you?”

Steak tartare is meat that has been kept cold and clean, right from the moment it was slaughtered, to the moment they grind it up and serve it to you.

But Ned and Cat didn’t have an explicit sex scene in the books. I think there was just the one post-coital scene between them, and that scene highlighted that they weren’t quite on the same page in their feelings.

To be fair, GRRM never has a sex scene in the books that doesn’t fall somewhere on the creepy scale, including the ones between consenting adults.

I, too, have bet on that day-old-pizza horse and won.

My thought too. That was...not a respectful knickname.

I think it is the standard communication style of Hollywood, because you never know when you’re going to trip over an ego there, and every venture relies on getting a large number of egos working together.

This is the answer. Actors can’t count on regular work. Getting a high-profile role often marks the change from “fighting for bits-parts” to “actual career”.
