Yep. Elmo is a glory stealing asshole.

I don’t know what it is with the self-righteous asshole responses in this thread but jee-zus. Yeah, asshole, I KNOW what the fucking word “implies” means. I also know that just because YOU SAY the headline and article “implies” something doesn’t mean it actually fucking DOES. That’s a matter of interpretation. On the…

Not at all true. There is often a stigma attached to failure in that “club”. Long time execs? Yeah, you probably have a point. Michael De Luca will never have to worry about a decision. But an exec at Sony who came up from working an assistant desk at Sony after an internship at Sony? Much more vulnerable.

No problems with my reading comprehension, bud. But thanks for your concern re: my literacy! And the long, pointless lesson in geopolitics and the social contract!

Yeah, facts do exist and words do have meaning. And the facts are reflected in the headline. As is the meaning. The headline does not say “primary evidence”. It doesn’t state that the PUBG element was the inciting incident or the key to the state’s case.

How is it shitty and misleading? The SK government concluded that this guy was not eligible for conscientious objector status because they could not find proof that he spreads pacifism AND because he is publicly a fan of PUBG, a game featuring violence. That is what the Kotaku article says and that is what happened.…

Ehhh... I don’t know that her attitude is aimed at the movie as much as it is aimed at press junkets to promote movies. She has never seemed fond of them. A lot of actors aren’t.

I don’t think you know what “full” means.

Remind me: When did Dakota Johnson improvise her dialogue without her director or screenwriter’s permission in an obvious hissy fit that she then fully admitted was unprofessional?

True story I have probably told before: In developing Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony was leaning hard on the idea of making it a Twilight-like love triangle film involving Peter, Gwen, and a teenage Morbius. There was also talk of bringing Man-Wolf in to REALLY make the Twilight ripoff obvious. At some point an exec, I…

Given how much undue shit it ate from idiotic horror fans, I would call her turn in Suspiria pretty brave.

This is a common sentiment among pop culture commentators and as someone who worked with executives and their assistants, particularly at Sony, I’m always a little annoyed at that. Because yes, these ARE people. And although many of them grew up well off, many also DIDN’T. I’m friends with a handful of executives who…

But if their source is the article linked, they have given us all the available information. Do you think Kotaku has reporters on the ground in South Korea? Like WTF do you want from them here? The headline is not the same as the linked article so they did write an “original” headline. And it was as accurate as they…

I’ll take that over the obnoxious world politics lecture I’m getting from Puddy.

I mean........... okay? Is there any documented proof of this contempt?

It’s not just the denigration. It’s the idea that the physical and emotional toll that an acting job takes is somehow less valid than the physical and emotional toll that a physical labor or customer service job takes. And I think most actors would very much agree that their jobs are not as conventionally…

Your bitterness and jealousy does not make you a better class warrior. It just exposes how much of a sucker you are for corporate interests that constantly position labor to infight.

You: Other countries, including your own, put demands on you.

Fuck off with this labor valuation bullshit.

I can’t speak to the interview in question BUT I did think he looked pretty pantherine in Whiplash. I don’t find it hard to believe he works out.
