That really sucks for Bomer, but I’m glad this movie was never made.

Yes, I understand there would have been no final joke. I’m saying that I think the final joke is forced as hell, something I had a problem with a lot in the last six seasons. He wouldn’t have caused any animosity; he was asked to repeat what the bigot said verbatim, and substituting the actual word for “the N-word”…

Yet.

But you do if you’re selling a book though. Remember when Matthew Perry wrote a book and everyone lost their minds? If you believe that the only reason Michael Richards had to write a book was so he could orchestrate a “big” (I mean I guess) PR push and sojourn around with major media outlets for weeks on end to undo…

I keep commenting about the tour because up until two comments ago, you seemed to have no problem with the fact that he wrote a book to begin with, only the fact that he’s doing interviews. You asked me if I think “he’s writing a book and going on a media tour out of the goodness of his heart,” so yes, I addressed the…

I think there are more reasons why he would write a book than “wants people who will never forgive him to forgive him” and “the goodness of his heart.” Most celebrities do it for a quick buck. But I think he’s only on the media tour to promote his book.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes isn’t streaming yet.

Did I assume that everyone’s opinion aligned with “mine”? Or did I deduce that most people didn’t care about The Slap based on Bad Boys 4’s opening weekend box office?

I love when people make assumptions about my opinions when I don’t even state what my opinion is. Bad Boys 4 made $56 million this weekend. Do you think all those people cared about The Slap and saw it anyway?

I’ve engaged with your main point. I just don’t agree with it.

I don’t think the majority of moviegoers care to check which studio is distributing which movie

Most people did not care about the Slap.

He’s on a book tour because he wrote a book. All of these interviews where he’s “saying he’s sorry” are only being scheduled to promote the book. You’ve made it very clear that you don’t think someone “at peace” with what happened would “go on a book tour telling everyone how sorry you are.” Are you suggesting that if…

I’m chalking it up to the misguided assumption that Furiosa was going to be a monster hit, and when it underperformed, people thought, “Well, the problem can’t be the movie, so it must be movie theaters!” in addition to a successive string of abnormally sluggish weekends for the box office.

Again, I think that’s the action of a man who is promoting his book being asked about the same thing by everyone who interviews him, and him not avoiding it. He’s 75 years old, recovering from cancer, and talks about how he was never comfortable being “in” in the first place. We can disagree about his motivations, but…

Bad Boys 4 beating expectations is absolutely the headline, but the biggest shock might be Furiosa dropping out of the top 5. Even Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hung in there (and is doing pretty well! Just saw that it has surpassed the previous movie’s domestic gross already).

FWIW a lot of casting decisions are announced up to months after contracts have been signed.

He’s on a tour for the most notable thing he’s done since his racist meltdown. People have been directly asking him questions about his rant. He says he’s sorry, but that he understands that there are people who will never forgive him. So like I said before, he’s not asking for forgiveness “from anyone who doesn’t…

I never thought he was specifically targeting anyone, but the show’s jokes didn’t always land when they kind of needed to.

Yes, I understand the “point” of the show. And if you think through the scenario in “The N-Word,” in the final scene, all Larry had to do was repeat the Neo-Nazi’s sentence and omit the n-word. It had nothing to do with following a cultural standard, and was about being afraid of the black man on the medical board.…
