She obviously takes shit.  She just hired a disgraced actor who is a walking HR complaint to be on her show.  

Never Have I Ever is an incredible show and Mindy Kaling is a take-no-shit leader so I’m super curious to see how this works out, especially with so many women in key roles.

Growing up in small-town Wisconsin I can say that high school couples having kids the second they move out is not as far-fetched as you’d think -- there’s some ripe material for good jokes in there

As a fan of the original show, this looks ...really bad. Like they just did the Fuller House formula again. This article also reads like a weird press release like is this supposed to be sarcastic?

They may not have know what it means, but they get the gist- and their literary understanding expands just that much more.  I love stuff like that.

He and Menkin kinda taught Disney how to make musicals again.

I did a Disney rewatch during the height of the pandemic and I quickly learned it was best to not pay too close attention to Stephen Schwartz’s lyrics. Pocahontas is particularly cringe worthy. I also think the collaboration between Menken and Ashman drove Menken to create better material because nothing he’s done…

Disney would rue the day it doubted Ashman and Menkin.

Just compare The Mob Song to the similarly-themed Savages from Pocahontas to see what we lost with Ashman’s death. From “We don’t like what we don’t understand, in fact it scares us, and this monster is mysterious at least” to “They’re not like you and me, which means they must be evil.”

Came here to say the same thing! The amount of influence Howard Ashman had in shaping the Disney Renaissance cannot be understated and unfortunately I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. It’s a real tragedy he didn’t live to see the success of Beauty and the Beast and I can only imagine what his contributions…

This is discussed in the very good biography film, “Howard.” Not only did they have to fight to get the movie made, Eisner wanted to cut “Part of Your World” and Ashman wouldn’t let him.

Yeah he just created his own escape hatch. Now he can pass the blame for all his apocalyptically bad decisions to his successor(s).

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 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…

“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!”

Please welcome your new CEO Nole Ksum, from somewhere far away...

Dollars to donuts the film will probably suck for reasons entirely unrelated to Hallie Bailey and be rapidly forgotten despite making a billion like pretty much all the live action remakes.  

At this point, it might be easier for everyone if she just changed her name to Halle Berry.
