Yes, and the last movie Shumer did before she got her deal was Trainwreck. No one’s giving her that paycheck right now. They gave it to her when she was at her peak.

I think this is a really interesting side-effect of the front-loaded Netflix specials. Chappelle’s deal included two recorded, unreleased specials, a worked-through special from DC, and then an “intimate” special of really un-worked material because he very clearly ran out of time to deliver his deal.

Of Sandler’s last dozen theatrical films, only one of them didn’t make huge profits (That’s My Boy). Even Jack and Jill made a ton of money. That, plus the Grown Ups movies, Hotel Transylvania movies means he has a pretty large base, as long as he keeps his movie budgets in the 60-80 mil range, which is pretty easy…

Except the Revenant was horribly produced, and the award is for production. No one writing checks wants more Revenants.

Using your exact words isn’t a strawman; and what is it telling of, exactly?

No one is suggesting doing nothing. Everyone is saying that there’s problems with corner solution strategies like “always call” and “never call” and “Think hard and read about this stuff” is complex and harder to do.

If only CPS was a decent agency, sure. But they frequently take children from homes over neighbor’s different views on child rearing (which is usually nosey old white folks mad at minorities doing things differently than they did).

I didn’t find that little Bibimbap chain that’s spreading around to be that expensive (but I think it’s only on the Maryland side of DCA?) as a fast casual place, but can’t speak for the restaurants.

Also he literally called himself “Sports Guy” because the website he wrote for already had “Movie Guy.” He wasn’t even the first to blog on the website he blogged on.

I probably played through KoTOR 5-6 times. It was a go-to when nothing was out. The audio dropping out isn’t anything I remember, but fights not triggering, characters stuck in actions, etc. were frequent. Hell, the game is permanently bugged in that the hit penalty for dual-blade sabers is never applied so there’s…

To be fair, it was buggy on the OG XBox too.

I mean sure, but Fincher was just fucking with him when he made him wear the hat (which I applaud).

“The sauce that comes with it, Signature Sauce, is a tamer version of Big Mac sauce, like Thousand Island dressing for beginners.”

No it fucking isn’t. Kensington is the white enclave of an already incredibly white, rich area. Kensington is an 82% white, incredibly wealthy area in a county that’s 62% white. It’s discount Bethesda.

If you’re going to fall down and fake a concussion to cheat, then you need to go to the locker room too. No half measures.

I guess enjoy your rotary phone.

It’d be like complaining that someone was referred to as MVP or Man of the Year award winner. Neither is “won” but both are conferred to those who meet criteria by peers/press/analysts.

I didn’t work college games specifically because we couldn’t sell beer and that was the profitable thing. But at NFL games, by stadium policy, we were supposed to not sell to anyone intoxicated and never more than 2 per person.

It’s a stupid/boorish question, but it’s not harassment. And further, a reporter trying to ply you isn’t you co-worker or employee like the other cases listed here. There’s no requirement that the reporter remain in the situation, permit the behavior, etc. The person was a source, not a peer. It’s probably…
