Gavin MacLeod and Ed Asner, two guys that prove my theory: if you’re an actor who looks like you’re 55 at 35 you’ll be working forever.

Nostalgia’s weird. The smell of butter and stale cola still makes my heart soar.

“Yes, I am totally vaccinated. And this second ticket is for my totally hot Canadian girlfriend who will be joining me once the lights dim.”

You, sir, strike me as someone who lives with reckless abandon. A baller, a shot-caller, and a yes-yes-ya’ller, as it were.

1) Taiwan is a country.

2) China did not give me money to write this piece, which is mostly about how China leverages and abuses its newfound power over the global box office to dictate PR messaging in line with its party line for Hollywood films and stars, and the strange new realities that this creates

they leave out about the cause of the Second Intifada, or about the Israeli government’s walking back of various elements of the Oslo Accords, in particular regarding their control of the Gaza Strip.”

I don’t care what his position is on this...just don’t make him angry...

“Dude. Palestinians want the end of Israel, not Jews.”

You can fault Hamas my friend.

What the fuck is this tone in this article? Like, it’s one thing to parse his public statements on this issue and judge whether or not you think he’s appropriately critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians (fucking weird for an entertainment website to decide that that’s their role, but ok!), but invoking a
