Exactly. Women have a nasty tendency to be ignored when it comes to awards nominations in gender-neutral categories like Best Director and Best Screenplay

My problem with non-gendered awards is that women are already undervalued in Hollywood, while having to work harder. Women actors spend most of their time emoting, while men spend it running around and blowing up stuff.

I really don’t want the preponderance of awards going to guys blowing up stuff.

The overwhelming majority of actors are unsuccessful, but they still act anyway. It’s the sort of thing that a lot of people do for the sheer love of it, while working regular day jobs.

i’ve noticed any time i got to a rep screening it’s FULL of young people. when i went to apocalypse now recently half the crowd raised their hand when the MC asked who was seeing it for the first time.

i’d even go as far as saying that advance ticket sales/pre-selected seats fucked theatres even before that.

I like going to the movies, so, selfishly, I hope theaters survive. But I think audiences have made pretty clear that there are really only a handful of movies per year that they’re willing to pay for a full theatrical experience to see. And I don’t think that makes them assholes or philistines.

Executives and senior “leadership” in every industry are largely a bunch of incompetent sociopaths and morons. NONE of them “earn” their exorbitant pay and perks through competence and capable leadership.

Since many of the posters here (me included) are often criticizing the writing on the site, it’s worth saying -- this review is very well written.

Anyone buying that he wasn’t well rested is just living in a fantasy (not saying you but anyone who thinks that). He was at Camp David for over a week before the debate. He didn’t have a cold, wasn’t jet-lagged, and wasn’t “over prepared” (whatever that means). He’s simply elderly and in mental decline.

I’m the bad guy, I am clearly evil, but I am going to wait for more corroboration on this. I also don’t know why people are exaggerating that the nanny was 40 years younger than him or 1/3 of his age...he wasn’t 60 then? If your nanny wants to fuck you fuck your nanny: consensually and without cheating or deception!

Look at Mr. Moneybags over here, who can afford a nanny and a house big enough to have a bath.

What? You don’t cuddle with your new nanny in the bath after hiring them?

“Overlap in their fanbases” is evidence of wrongdoing? What is wrong with you?

Yikes if true. I listened to the podcasts, they seem to be highly padded and most facts seem to be “corroborated” by third parties who were not present at the time of the accused actions. This outlet seems to specialize in very broad, thinly researched SA accusation serials. Believe victims but also, something smells…

What?  You don’t cuddle with your new nanny in the bath after hiring them?  

Scarlett alleges that Gaiman assaulted her within hours of their meeting in his New Zealand residence in February 2022, when she was hired as a nanny for his child. The two apparently shared a bath where, according to Gaiman, they only “cuddled” and “made out” with consent.”

You’re right that Biden’s biggest selling point is “the alternative to absolute fucking armageddon” and... that’s not much. I held my nose and voted for him. I’ll do it again.

It was an atrocious, humiliating performance for Biden but now I’m more optimistic than I’ve been in months.

I really, really wanted Biden to show up for this debate. I did tune out right before the final half-hour, so there’s a possibility I missed the point in the debate where he curved his arm in front of him and launched a fireball at Trump while shouting “Hadoken!”, but, from the reporting, I think he just carried on…

Man, the Phoenicians really knew how to play the long game.  Arranging their alphabet knowing the Greeks and then Romans would use it as the basis for their own alphabets, leading the Roman version to be adopted by many languages, including English, just for the sake of this joke was a killer move.
