I totally agree with you. And I don't think it's exclusive to "the industry" either. Even on the lowest levels, most people hear about a job opening from their friend who already works there and can put in a good word/recommendation that holds a little more weight. Mostly, it's just human nature. And even in that list…

You make an absolutely excellent point which is further supported by looking at the more successful (ie more well known usually) female directors of today. They often fall into either the category of successful actress turned director or director with some lineage of clout. It makes some sense that to get into what…

Ew.

This. A million times this.

People get so weird about weddings. I have a vested interest only if it's my wedding or, to a much lesser degree, the wedding of someone exceptionally close to me (like immediate family close). Otherwise, an awesome friend/family member has decided to pay for and throw a giant (or small)…

I can respect that too. It wasn't anything more than my feelings.

And thank you, it's a random Archer reference.

Speaking of usernames, yours is so awesomely early 90s and clever! I love it!

Eh, that match doesn't make me feel great. I think 18-24, though not illegal, is such a formative time span that huge relationship age gaps during that age range makes me feel a little icky. Now, they're both adults who are free to make their own choices without my judgements having any weight at all. And they seem to…

I forgot about the fake tan!!!

And yeah, I've seen people I would never have thought would be into Friends yell "Pivot! Piiiivot!" when moving furniture. I think it's like required now or something.

You make an excellent point!

I think it's a combination of social expectations (luckily waning) and a misplaced need to feel needed and indispensable. People do it with money too. I don't think it always starts out like that nor do I think most people do it consciously. I think it usually begins as consideration - "I have the money to buy you…

I absolutely loathe the phrase "really makes you think."

She was only 30 at the time, so it actually wasn't a huge age change.

They always looked way older to me. I thought it was because as a kid people in their 20s seem like such adults. But even now that I'm older with a new perspective of the 20s (so young), the actors still look way more classically adult than my…

Ross had so many of the funniest parts!

That was great... Unagi! Piiiivot! The leather pants. New Year's Eve dance routine. Any flashback with him. All great stuff.

Well, Monica and Rachael were the "cool girls." They were also given more "normal" storylines. Phoebe dated, but it was never about her falling in love or feeling conflicted (maybe later seasons, bc I think I missed some episodes on the tail end of the show). It wasn't until her pregnancy, I think, that she got any…

Exactly! Plus the whole basis for prejudice is a fear or hatred of anything you deem "other" and a cowardly need to assert dominance. In that way, it almost makes more sense for minorities to be actively racist. The disenfranchised often need to find someone they (however misguidedly) feel more privileged than to…

I don't know. I think in some situations (not remotely this one), "my bad" as a colloquialism can be a genuine apology. But that's obviously only really in less serious, more casual situations said with the proper inflection. For instance, stepping on someone's foot and then immediately saying "my bad" with sincerity…

A.) That's hilarious! In the future, if I ever find myself ordering a pina colada, I hope I remember to order it as a "penis colossus" said kinda fast.

2) I would really hope an infraction like that would just result in a reprimand (and secret high five later). There's such a huge difference between "inappropriate"…

Completely ignoring that the whole point of this comment section is for "worst behavior," and that stealing juice, though wrong (bad juice stealer, bad) is more ridiculous and funny than genuinely unruly, And that it was in a hall without any works on display, AND that OP never argued that being escorted out was wrong…

I meant to add my * to say that Apatow still hasn't addressed the 3rd act of Funny People, so obviously Kenya Barris wasn't wrong about that! ; )

First, and obviously most important, I LOOOOVE your user name!

But I'll say that while I think his message has an incredible amount of validity to it, I don't agree that he's exactly on-point with his execution. The other social injustices he criticizes Apatow for staying silent on* are not related to comedy/ the…

Less than classy thoughts are still beyond the class that most of us have. You should feel great about how you've handled it. It says a lot about you. And I believe you'll get the good things you deserve for being a good person. It just sucks, because I think doing good things often yields long term good results, but…
