It was the former, but that basically implies the latter.

Now I have to tell my Jane Seymour story. We were on the same flight earlier this year: she was in first class, naturally, while my wife and I were in economy.

A priest propositioning an adult woman. That’s rich!

Yeah, I was thinking, isn’t she just sharing the same free blurry preview that anyone can access anyway? If Sia really wanted to deny those paparazzi the extra cash, she’d buy all 15 photos and share them publicly. I mean, you know, for the fans.

Because Googling the proper spelling of popular actors’ names is too hard for AV Club writers these days.

Did anyone see Weiner’s poorly-received, barely-released 2013 feature film debut Are You Here? That film and this novel seem to be evidence that some writers should just stick to one medium. I’m still curious about his next show The Romanoffs.

This article makes me feel truly ashamed of what AV Club has become.

“No, that’s not Kevin Spacey, it’s Sissy Spacek! You’re not the first to confuse the two.”

I’m not going to doxx myself, but I do have to tell my Sean Astin story: I made an independent film in 1999 and at the premiere I was so nervous that I couldn’t even sit in the audience, I just paced in the lobby. As soon as the film was over, the doors opened up and who was the very first person to walk up to me?…

My guess is Murray Bauman, but maybe Dr. Owens if they weren’t specifically looking for an older actor. For someone of Astin’s age and level of fame, there really were no other roles to choose from. Billy’s dad or Ray (the Pruitt Taylor Vince role) would’ve been too minor.

The best part was that he wore a mask during the home invasion sequence, as if he couldn’t be identified by his rainbow-colored foot-long mohawk.

“let’s wrap it after a third season people, and keep it tight”

He really meant “I believe unions promote a corrosive me-against-everyone dynamic that destroys the divine right of kings doctrine that I subscribe to.”

How many times must I write that I am not excusing this behavior? I never participated in it on my own sets, as I found it juvenile and unprofessional. (And by the way, it was 50/50 men/women who engaged in it.) But I do agree with you that it’s an environment that allows and even encourages skeezyness – everyone…

Nice attempt at recasting me as some sort of apologist, but I’ve already make it clear that I don’t excuse this kind of behavior. But for the record, Death of a Salesman was shot in New York, where the age of consent is 17, so Anna Graham Hunter was not “underaged” when Hoffman allegedly groped her.

I’ve worked on film and TV sets. They are hotbeds of, shall we say, rambunctiousness. Showbiz people in general are very huggy-kissy and touchy-feely (any theater geek knows this) and sets often have a highly sexed atmosphere. I directed two independent features: even with their 2-week and 3-week shoots, I knew of…

That’s because he’s always had a naturally icky persona which served those roles well. The wall-to-wall failures of his post-American Beauty “heroic” leading roles – Pay It Forward, K-PAX, The Shipping News, The Life of David Gale, and culminating with his directorial bomb Beyond the Sea – made it clear that audiences…

“Don’t sexually assault a child in the first place and you won’t have to apologize.” You’re right, but what’s done is done: Spacey can’t undo what he did 32 years ago. So what does he do now? What response to Rapp’s accusations would be even remotely appropriate?

It wasn’t so long ago on AV Club that people were talking about Linda Fiorentino, and how her showbiz career died after she was reported to be “difficult” on the set of Dogma – which, of course, was a Miramax production (though they ultimately sold distribution rights to Lionsgate because the Catholic Church was…

I’m still campaigning to take all the Naked Gun movies and digitally replace O.J. Simpson with Maya Angelou.
