Very interesting that you started this lengthy comment by noting, accurately, that whether to publish this book is “entirely their choice,” and somehow ended it by bemoaning people who “want to control what gets published or not” and hoping “the publishing world is as free as possible,” and presumably don’t realize…

You can’t control what other people spend their money on, and honestly I’m more bothered by the need to censor what people are allowed to publish than I am by the prospect of a woody Allen memoir that I don’t plan to read anyway. Woody Allen is reportedly worth 80 million. And if this sells well (and I’m not sure it…

I have no intention of reading Allen’s memoir but I also don’t have an issue with it being published. If people don’t want to read it, don’t buy it and don’t read it. Simple as that. 

Personally, I’m not loving “retro muscle” Batmobile.

Haha. Partially that, and partially from driving with the windows open.

The car interior is filthy with dust. Is dust sealing a problem on this vehicle?

My wife wants one of these very badly. Why? I have no clue. I’ve always loved the old Defenders, but I’m really hesitant to buy one as a family vehicle due to reliability. 

The same customer who buys the Mercedes G-Wagen?

His relationship with Soon Yi started in beyond questionable circumstancesBUT she was never his adopted daughter. She was adopted by Farrow and the late André Prévin. 

This whole article seems really hateful and unnecessary.

France doesn’t have a “studio system,” as most films are partially funded by the government. Both Haenel and Sciamma were nominated, and should have the right to celebrate their achievements. There were hundreds of protesters outside that were battling the police so making a public act like this within the theater was…

Unfortunately Coulombe sold TJs to Theo Albrecht (of the Aldi Nord Albrechts) back in ‘79, so we can’t really credit him with most of the things we’ve come to rely on for our survival (Two Buck Chuck wasn’t introduced until 2002) except for the “south seas” theming.

Writer’s room survivor here: I can assure you, it’s not nonsense. After a few weeks of getting Stockholm-Syndromed in a room with no windows alongside a dozen or so other writers focused on nothing else but the showrunner’s “vision”, you forget the basics pretty fucking quickly. “Why is there no toilet paper?” “How…

I am declaring this as made up nonsense. 

Sure, it’s an awful job, but on the other hand, there’s cocaine dust everywhere.

“Didn’t you guys used to be journalists?”

No, it wasn’t. And there’s an insane amount of evidence from accounts from the animators who had to work on the redesign to pictures behind the scenes with the original design.

No, it wasn’t a conspiracy theory. The execs actually thought the general public would embrace it similar to the Transformers and TMNT movie designs. While I can see the Transformers thing, I have no idea where they got the idea that people liked the TMNT designs. 

Thank you! I have this same complaint about Mormon women. Yes, I get that your religion is ten million ways of fucked up, sexist, misogynist, and completely oppressive.

She reminds me of Zuck: never has someone tried at hard to show us s/he cares so little.
