frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

This is the correct thing for him to do. Whether or not he’s guilty of what he was accused of (and, let’s face it, he more than likely is guilty), there is literally nothing to be gained by him showing up and it would distract from the people who should be getting the attention. (Memo to James Franco: this applies to…

Casey Affleck is probably a piece of shit, but the way this article is written doesn’t make any sense. Isn’t the fact that he’s been accused of harassment and a petition is going around asking that he not be involved kind of obviously the thing he’s alluding to when he says he doesn’t want to be a distraction? Say…

It makes slactivists feel important.

Presenting the award for Best Actress is last year’s Best Actor winner, Casey Affleck

Does anyone know what the hell change.org even does? Like, who are these people actually petitioning? Are they just going to collect a bunch of signatures to figuratively nail to the door of the Academy or what? Are they petitioning the government, because I don’t think that they government has any authority to do…

I mean... it makes sense he would. You don’t show up, no one can ask you any questions about one of the most seismic shifts in Hollywood.

Why add the “or” part? It’s not an or situation. His statement said that he didn’t want the controversy that follows him to be a distraction from the performances of the actresses. He did the thing everyone was saying he should do. The right thing. But yea, use this as another opportunity to shit on the guy who has…

I watched this movie again last night, and really tried to watch it with all of the major criticisms in the back of my head. Honestly i like this movie more each time i’ve seen it.

Must you leave your mouse droppings on every single thread?

Nope.

I get all my news from the gas pump TV screens while I’m filling my tank.

Also, I’d like to add that if any of you use the AV Club as your only source for any information of importance whatsoever, you should really start supplementing that with a wider array of reporting. Articles like this are unacceptable, easy to target, and give the fight for pay equality an undeservedly toxic name.

This article completely misconstrues Digital Spy’s reporting in a dangerous way. She demanded that up front — we have no reason to believe that there was pushback, and even less reason to think there was an altercation. Please edit/retract this, it’s both lazy and inaccurate. The BBC wouldn’t be out of line to call…

Yeah, you should pay me for spanking your ass so often.

Are you terminally sour? The guy just died. His music made the world a better place, Thatcherism and all.

There is nothing in this article or the linked article that says she had to fight. The linked article says “she made sure that she got paid the same as her Doctor Who predecessor Peter Capaldi” and clearly she did. Maybe she had to negotiate or maybe she just opened with “whatever you paid him, I want the same” and…

I wondered why AVC was taking so long to do a newswire on Smith’s death. Now I know, and it’s amazing what O’Neal whipped up on short notice.  A worthy tribute.  RIP Mr. Smith.

If people are paying more than a hundred bucks for tickets, that has to be justified in the stage show, which means perfection outweighs fun. Lighting cues mean everybody is trying to hit their mark, and heaven help the sideman who flubs a note. If you see anybody outside of a club or a festival, they’re going to be…

Fuck that. Ralph Macchio’s career ended when he got arrested for shooting the clerk in Alabama.
