What I've always heard is to dress as plainly as possible. But upper-echelon Hollywood probably has different rules.

The last phrase was directed at the comments section. An Adam Sandler movie being offensive (in a banal, dull way) shouldn't shock anybody. And the production staff is of course going to pass the blame, that's what minions are for. Plausible deniability and all that.

I get the anger and people being upset, and I agree that doing it via note is bad, but this sort of thing is how Hollywood works, doesn't it?

Take the guys who can't cut fantastic live promos and just let them be in videos were they monologue about being hardcore and show slow-motion footage of them lifting heavy shit or running through the woods or beating up jobbers.

Just choose one guy a week, give them a sit-down interview with Cole and a mini-doc about their life and their motivation. Have a couple other talent talk about them and get some character across.

Yeah, I got that vibe too. But fuck, I'm pretty sure anybody, male or female, that spent that much time in physical proximity to Mr. Devitt would develop a bit of a crush too.

…he fucks the undead?

NXT is a different beast though.

Never been portrayed at Owens level?

There's one major part of the transgender movement that I really, really don't like and I think is actively harmful.

Calvin and Hobbes is one of the most important parts of my childhood. It wasn't the thing that taught me to read (that'd be my mom, thanks mom) but it was certainly the thing that made me love reading. I would struggle through stupid, simple books because my mom made me, but one night I read through what I thought was…

I think that the Sexposition and other needless BEWBS! scenes (like Tyene stripping) points more to HBO playing to their demos or just to show that they can have a bunch of nudity. I wouldn't point that at D&D, it's corporate art, there's going to be stuff to satisfy the company's buzzwords.

They wouldn't need to be filmed. They'd need to be described by another character or ordered or something.

I'm not denying that rape isn't used by Martin, but I don't think either of those examples is gratuitous or excessive.

I'm not going to talk about the show because this is a post about Martin and I feel that discussing his work is important and the show isn't really HIS work anymore.

How heavy was Andre again?

I think that gun control is a smokescreen issue that people like talking about because everybody knows where the stand and both sides have points.

It's very true.

I never knew she was so short.

Well…part of the joke was JBL getting the details wrong but yelling it loudly anyway.
