i think, as things have solidified culturally, being ‘canceled’ is really just the difference between what type of fans you have. it seems trite laid out, but if you’ve successfully fostered a ‘personal’ relationship with your fanbase (even by accident in the case of someone like johnny depp), you will be never truly…

yeah I mean there’s a million mundane reasons a person might not want to do any particular interview

I never had any real strong feelings about Martin Short until we saw him and Steve Martin together live several years ago. I 100% went to the show excited to see Steve Martin and he did not disappoint, But Martin Short legit stole the show. Since then I’ve paid a lot more attention, and one of the over riding things…

I stopped reading Slate many years ago because of that contrarian for the sake of it attitude. I almost felt dirty after reading some of their smarmy, high schoolish articles. Not all, there was writing on there I liked, but not enough to sift through the garbage. As for Short, loved him back in the 80's and early…

It’s also possible the people they asked either a) have said all they had to say about the matter and don’t want to discuss it again and/or b) had no idea who this producer was and decided they didn’t want to be involved in their documentary.

I had the same thought and I also can kind of understand why no one wanted to work with this producer if she’s out here taking shots at people because they didn’t spend time to make her documentary better.

What a weird series of statements...

I have to say, when I first saw that Martin Short article, I thought “What the F is this idiot talking about!?” Then I actually started to think “Wait, do I really like Martin Short? Do I just like him because I loved Ed Grimley and The Three Amigos when I was 8 years old?” So, i guess, sort of a fair question the…

It just seemed arbitrary and mean-spirited, I guess. I mean, it’s fine for some entertainer to rub you the wrong way, but maybe you’re not the person to write a 2000 word profile on them especially if you don’t have any specific reason beyond their humor not appealing to your personal taste.

It’s literally just a long editorial about how this one writer doesn’t think that Martin Short is funny.

No they didn’t. Stop talking. 

I’ve never read anything that made me hate a previously unknown writer faster and with more fury than that Martin Short hit piece by my new enemy-for-life Dan Kois. Martin Short is the funniest person EVVVVAAAAHHHH

I hadn’t heard about the Short piece, so I had to look it up. What a weird article. It’s literally just a long editorial about how this one writer doesn’t think that Martin Short is funny. I’m not surprised that everyone leapt to his defense. It’s the most random hit piece I’ve ever read. But yeah, you make a good…

I don’t find the words of police sergeants very compelling, if I’m honest.

It’s not like they’re arguing he has to buy Chunky Monkey ice cream for the Scientology BOD for a month. Wanting friends and family to get 15 years in jail instead of 30 doesn’t make one a monster

In the Harper’s Bazaar article, it was stated that she is supporting the strike and is not discussing any of her past or present work in any specific detail. It was also for Harper’s Bazaar UK (where the unions aren’t on strike).

Greta Gerwig could show up as a comedically exaggerated version of herself, Ronan could constantly explain to people how her name is pronounced, she could get into absurd misunderstandings that make her look bad even though she didn’t really mean to do anything bad, Susie Essman can call her a “bald, four-eyed fuck”…

How can people vouch so fulsomely for someone who’s been convicted of multiple rapes? I suspect, as lifelong friends of Masterson, they believe him when he tell them he’s not guilty of the crimes for which he was accused. This is a man they have been close friends with them for over 20 years, and if what they say in…

“But he’s never done drugs” is the weirdest defense of a rapist I’ve ever heard. Personally, I’d much rather be friends with somebody who does lots of drugs and has never raped anyone. But that’s just me.
