I don't know, I'm starting to think this one requires a little mercy, if you catch my drift.

Indeed. OTOH: There are some pretty funny stories out there about actors wearing costumes to auditions, though. See: Melissa McCarthy on Graham Norton.

Jesus Christ trippin' on acid, man! I thought I veered into pretentious and needlessly complex language too much but I stand aside, here. I am in the presence of greatness. I imagine each of your words is only spoken after a deeply-drawn breath and with perfect theatrical elocution. And there is a pause between each…

A fair point. But, we don't know precisely who this agent who 'fired' her is, yet, do we? We're back to the Schrodinger phase of the drama and the identity of Agent X could ratchet things up again.

I'd only buy into it if there were gratuitous moments of slapping people in the face with a glove. And a sweet car chase at some point.

Does that make us the blind girl running through the woods or the overzealous patriarch? Or, God and His Invisible Pink Unicorn forbid, are we Joaquin Phoenix?

I think I'm gettin' what you're saying. I'm not sure if it was originally phrased in a tricky way or if my lack of sleep this week counts as impaired operation of a Disqus account but, for the record, I'm putting the crossbow away.

Not that I'm intending one, but for the record, will this be open to appeal?

In a world, where Rose McGowan's character had survived — they — thought they could get away with shenanigans. But they didn't count on one woman … and one sort of pudgy but generally charming man.

Side note: I had a typo/brainfart which read 'uncomfratable.' I think this should be a word, relating to something something frat house.

This conversation makes me uncomfortable!

Yep. Their next album drops in December. It's called:

Someone coined a phrase you don't like. You'll get over it, someday.

"We're casting for a sexy part" and "we want to see cleavage" are two different tacks entirely.

Excellent. Please come down to our offices and submit, um, fill out an application.

1. If you're saying I presumed the agent acted under pressure because (a) she's a woman and (b) I'm a sexist guy, then you jumped to a conclusion. I presumed they acted under pressure because she called them 'wussy'. As in, they bowed under pressure.

Yeah, but, when you… I just … when you said … I don't…

Oooo, the plot thickens.

"Also, Nicole, the term "actress" is considered sexist by many."

Sometimes, I think mansplain is getting conflated with other perfectly suitable terms too often, these days. Condescend, presume, etc., They ain't always the same thing just because there's an explanation involved.
