Worked? No, probably not. Studio heads don’t generally work on most of the stuff their name gets attached to. They just agreed to used the studio’s funds to make it.

Yes, I thought that would be obvious.

With someone this scummy, eventually the scumminess hits critical mass and someone in the media who isn’t in the subject’s line of fire goes public with it. Also, the recent spate of these cases hasn’t blown back on the accusers for the most part, and it’s probably made a lot of women feel more comfortable about…

Then Sony and Alcyon are losing the money, not Warner.

That’s why he’s getting the money, but there isn’t a Studio’s Union because they’re not labor. He was the head of the studio.

Why wouldn’t it be?

I guess that did break a huge string of flops. Congratulations, they’re about one for twelve.

Probably nothing. He was (incorrectly, it appears) looked at as the subject of a blind item, but the accuser in question has specifically said it wasn’t him. There was another (also blind) second rumor tied to him on the strength of the first, but since the first turned out not to be him, there’s nothing to tie the…

It never occurred to me that I could say “least appealing actor” and people wouldn’t immediately know I meant Jared Leto.

“Connected with audiences” and “$100 million” were both very possible (and both seem within reach). But a $150 million movie with a $100 million promotional campaign needs to make at least like $500 million worldwide just to break even, and that was never realistic for something like this.

I’m not talking about Gosling. I’ve liked him in the stuff I’ve seen him in.

This was never going to be a huge hit. The original wasn’t the world’s most accessible movie to begin with, this one has a bladder-punishingly long run time, and it features the world’s least appealing actor in a very prominent role. If Warner thought they could put $150 million into this, with a huge promotional…

The Cowboys won’t win a single game the last ten years of that, but they will have an average of 38 fast wide receivers on the roster at any given time during that stretch. The last year they’ll have 53.

Oodles, but they’re all TOS-type human-looking ones so nobody could tell and no one commented on it.

I’m enjoying the show so far; it’s hand-wavy half-assedness has managed to work in its favor so far, allowing the show to develop around the chemistry of the two leads. I have a sneaking suspicion that the show is going to need to grow a little at some point or become tedious, but, given that we’re only on the second…

I’m assuming they like it, since my gay friends are the people I heard it from originally.

But doesn’t he usually leave if he sees a black person anyway?

Maybe that’s why he left, because he didn’t want anyone to see that all those kneeling men gave him an erection.

There is no god and we’re ruled by idiots.

So if I’m at an event and Pence is there, all I have to do to get him to leave is to kneel? Shouldn’t this be on Lifehacker?
