I know people complain about that phrase but it’s not saying the only reason they care about issues of agency and what not relating to female characters is because they have daughters as in the uncharitable interpretation; they are saying that because they have daughters they have experience in how such depictions in…

Alternatively, hype up the fact that you have a new stealth fighter and never bother actually making it. Your foes will be like “We can’t detect their new fighter at all! Damn it must be advanced!”

“There are some who call me ... Tim.”

Just as long as its not “Ted”.

“Great news, guys! No one cares enough about our film to sue us for the misleading trailer.”

I feel conflicted. On the one hand, it seems a ridiculous waste of resources to pursue this in court. On the other, you don’t go around promising people Ana de Armas and then deny them Ana de Armas.

I’m embarrassed to admit that after I saw the movie, I went out and bought an F-35 Lightning II. My wife was pissed to say the least.

American propaganda 1, Chinese propaganda 0.

I never got the unobtanium backlash anyway - it’s a nickname used offhandedly by the Marines, who don’t care why they’re on Pandora.  They just want to kick ass.

This whole article would have been better served with the title “Indiana Jones 5: Where’s the beouf??”

Task one for the new CEO: don’t let Elon run the server or software teams. If he protests, quit. If it’s really so hard to find a replacement CEO, anyone willing to do the job ought to have all the negotiating power.

They can be found out there, I guess.

It’s amazing to me that there are people with the blinkered self-confidence to look at a trainwreck like this and say, “Yes, I can succeed as the CEO of a company with serious income and personnel problems, while working side-by-side with the company’s notoriously impulsive owner, under intense public scrutiny.” But I…

I love that at the same time AV Club published this PR piece going to bat for Avatar 2, Gizmodo was publishing an analysis that tears down pretty much every argument in the article above.

I still say that this is the result he wanted the whole time (from when he launched the poll I mean). He’s pointed the ship straight at the iceberg, so now when it hits, it’s someone else’s fault. Certainly not his! And if the new person actually manages to save this sinking ship, Elon gets to pop up to say what a…

Always and universally a bad idea for any piece of entertainment to try to do. There are two appropriate responses to criticism:
1) recognize that it is an invalid criticism (if it is) and ignore it
2) accept it as a valid criticism (if it is) and learn from it

Yikes.

People in charge of toxic workspaces play the same “divide and conquer” game SMG is talking about. She was younger than most of the other cast when the show started (19 to their mid-20s), so she couldn’t hang out with them when they all went to the bar after work. Add in a boss who would praise her, knowing she was…
