Random Dude literally gabberflasted actor wants work seen. “I mean... she got paid, right?”

Not only that, it’s rebutted by the frickin’ end of that very episode, when Don breaks down and needs Peggy like she needed him, and she actually gives him the support he needs, and HE ACKNOWLEDGES IT THE NEXT MORNING.

Jesus, ain’t you mystified by all these people on the internet who somehow are able to take the…

This bitter ass snarky “How dare this woman actually care about her job!” nonsense always tells me that a lot more people have swallowed justifications for their own misery than most folks realize.

No one goes into acting to perform for an audience of zero. No one wants to design a car that no one will ever drive. No…

On one hand you’re right, on the other it’s a superhero movie, so shelving it means getting rid of any sequels/appearances in other movies down the line.

The worst thing happening to them is that they worked long and hard on something, and their work got thrown in the garbage. And it’s not like they were working on a b-movie where maybe the actors in it are hoping that it’s quietly released on VOD and no one ever knows they were in it—this was a superhero property,…

On yet a third hand, Ivory Aquino is not a hugely well known actor, and Batgirl would have put her in front of a lot more eyes than likely anything else she’s ever done and potentially kicked her career up a level.

The whole point of making art is for other people to see it. To share it with the world. Plus as an actor your film is part of your CV, so “you can’ see it, the whole production was binned” doesn’t look good.

Have you heard “I want to tap that”? I think using it was a way to make the dehumanization of “tapping THAT” more obvious.

Norton is definitely... yeah. Enough said. With that in mind, I recall reading that he and Ruffalo are good friends, and Ruffalo called and made sure Norton was cool with him taking the role before accepting, so maybe he’d actually give a smarmy, self-satisfied smirk at the line.

Cops cannot stand being told no, even when they are violating your rights. Violating someone’s rights and then making up some bullshit charge to cover it up should be grounds for permanent dismissal as a law enforcement officer. I hope this pastor wins big.  ACSD.

Didn’t spot the first reference to Wolverine? When Jen was looking at the job listicle page, the sidebar had a link titled, “Man Fights With Metal Claws In Bar Brawl”. There was also a link just below it that just said, “Why There Is A Giant Statue Of A Man Sticking Out Of The Pacific Ocean”, which cracked me all the…

That’s a big stretch from what he actually said. 

Makes perfect sense. After all, how could they possibly get any viewers for a show about an obscure, unpopular, forgotten character like *checks notes* Batman.

As dickish as this is, it needs to be clarified that all six of these animated projects are receiving the same fate as Caped Crusader, that being they’re still going to be produced, but will be shopped around to other networks instead of HBO Max. It says so as much in the Variety article in the link up there. Though…

Well, there was always the terrifying dancing baby from it.

As much as I love Buffy and even with all the Whedon drama, would still call it one of my favorite shows, this does not make me sad. I’m not glad for it either. I’m really more like, “Probably for the best.” 🤷‍♀️

It is fucking weird that American boasts about being a republic and then spends so much energy on creating “political dynasties” like the Bushes, Kennedys, Clintons, and Cheneys.

It’s also super easy not to talk to your dad for three weeks when you’re a junior at NYU and he’s an actor who is pretty much anywhere in the world at any given time. 

I mean, if she doesn’t live at home, she could have just not called him for three weeks, and he might not have called her to give her space. Or he might have been exaggerating and it was really like 10 days but it felt like three weeks!  Or maybe she does live at home and you’re right, I have no idea.  I’m just…
