Their defense would probably be that the giant mega conglomerate corporations weren’t paying the actors and creators from streaming services either, but at least they actually employ the hundreds of people it takes to make one hour of entertainment.

Shit take, Emma.

Yeah, I was elaborating, not correcting you. People who insist there are only two genders typically point to “nature.” The lack of consensus itself points to fluidity and complexity in sexual biology to begin with. Someone out there needs to read that.

Yes, but always worth pointing out that the sex divide isn’t completely binary either. Hermaphrodites exist.

On the one hand, sure, why not? On the other, that doesn’t address concerns that men will dominate these categories.

Those are still binary examples, FWIW, just roles where the gender doesn’t match the performer’s.

THR also notes that Marvel built a whole train station set for the movie at one point, for Tariq’s version, that now isn’t getting used, although it might end up being utilized by some other Marvel project. (And now we’re going to be watching every Marvel project like hawks, trying to figure out which bit is the…

I hate that you’re right

It’s like when they fire the guy stealing office supplies to make a point. Everyone does it, they just got rid of the one who was caught.

Right? I’ve never even been married.

I think people are worried about men winning both awards.

“And the winner of Best Other…”

In my defense, I wasn’t alive in the 80’s. He was definitely a name I recognized, but before he ran for office, he just didn’t enter my orbit other than as “pop culture personality.” I know he’s not a very smart person, but his apparently genuine confusion and not being universally beloved when he opened up wide about…

I can’t be alone in having a neutral opinion on Trump before he ran for office. I didn’t know about his dad or his own slum lord origins, or the ad he took out against the Central Park 5. He was just the dude with the “You’re fired!” catchphrase to me (and I was vaguely aware he’d been married several times).

A24's production head, Inman Young, reportedly claimed the show was “100%” over budget, while documents reviewed by The Wrap seemed to suggest the $85 million show was only over by about $4-$6 million for the entire season.

I’ve got no love for Abrams, but... what? Most of his professional work is a producer, he’s followed through with many of his producing projects*. He hasn’t been fired or left many directing projects since Mission: Impossible III and that’s partially because he really hasn’t signed on to many.

I loved The Terminal, even if I wouldn’t call it Top Shelf Spielberg. I don’t have a problem with suspending my disbelief (is it a New Yorker thing to care whether JFK ever had that quarter-dispensing return cart system?), but Tom Hanks’ performance - as delightful as it is - doesn’t always convey that he’s…

His family’s loaded, right? If he really wants to make something “outside of the Hollywood system,” it shouldn’t be that hard for him. He probably has a bunch of time shares he can use as locations too.

I think you’re absolutely right that the show ended up rejecting the comic’s viewpoint, but the T.V. show is separated by so much time in real life and in the story that I was willing to enjoy and analyze it as its own thing. It uses pre-existing characters, settings, visual design, and aesthetic to tell a new story,…

To be fair, you have to have be a very complicatedpoopshoe to understand BR2049. The drama is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the themes will go over a typical viewer’s head.
