Given the evidence presented in the trial, I think a different lawyer could have gotten Majors acquitted. But Majors’ little PR stunts and Chaudhry’s lies have done way more harm than good to his image. What I want to know is whether they’re really in sync on this entire defense strategy or if one is pushing the other…

What about the phone calls and text messages that were submitted as evidence during the trial?

Just FYI, as an outside observer, your comments come off like you’re the one trying to “win an argument on the internet.”

Neutrality is complicity, so you better pick the side people will be least mad at you for picking!

Hollywood’s “interesting edges” have always been sanded down. Social media briefly sharpened those edges, when it looked like celebrities could be “authentic” with their fans, but everyone quickly figured out how social media presences for A-list celebrities are just as phony (and kind of need to be) as any morning…

I’m really looking forward to it. I love Miami, and Need for Speed Heat did a really good job of capturing the feel. I can’t wait to play Rockstar’s version.

Why wouldn’t they change the script for every movie? Marvel is well-known for making changes to every movie up until the last minute.

Is too.

I’ve never watched TNG in my life and only know him as insufferable.

I thought he was less miserable than in the previous two or three seasons. I remember one season in particular (I think it was the fatwa season) opened with a sequence of him basically airing his grievances. There’s a part where he’s walking and he nonchalantly knocks over a row of e-scooters. That stood out to me…

This is literally the final season.

It looked like cuteness aggression when I first saw the clip.

I’m sure the hosts are very well paid.

Elmo has been around for like 30 years. I don’t really care that Larry attacked him, but isn’t Elmo a cherished icon for at least some kids who are now adults and have kids of their own?

It’s just a puppet, gnomedeplum.

The source article is definitely worth reading: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/08/movies/jonathan-majors-girlfriends-abuse.html

It’s just a puppet, Wil.

There’s definitely multiple ways they could do it (i.e. stunt coordinator, stunt team, individual stunt). The studios would presumably be the ones submitting nominees for consideration, and they know which performer did which stunt. Or they should, anyway.

I don’t agree with needing to know which casting decisions weren’t made to award a casting award, but even on a practical level, one of the biggest problems people have with the academy today is the issue of voters who haven’t seen all of the nominees in a given category. So a category like Best Casting Director would…

No, I had a bet going that it wouldn’t get made either. I lost $50.
