It’s gonna be a stretch for Cumberbatch to play a guy who’s kind of a dick.

I’m convinced this guy didn’t actually pay attention to the episode. Beard didn’t break up with Jane

I was gonna say “Why didn’t you ask him about For All Mankind?” then I realized I have no questions about For All Mankind either.

FAM definitely uses music in a very specific way our brain recognizes (to establish time period) and which we’re used to seeing compromised due to music licensing budget limitations.

Let me guess, you have a problem with politics “suddenly” being a part of Star Trek & Watchmen too, right?

Not sure exactly what that means. Miramax had a reputation for aggressively editing foreign movies (Supercop and Darkness spring to mind) and refusing to promote their own productions if the filmmakers exercised too much creative control (Velvet Goldmine and Frida, for example). Weinstein seems to have been heavily inv…

Scott Rudin certainly cared about Broadway, and is maybe the most important producer since Hal Prince, but he’s also an abusive monster (not sexually, but in every other way). Also Rudin’s and Weinstein’s love of their shows and movies did not stop them from often mangling them for commercial reasons, traumatizing…

Just to take your question at face value, you’re effectively conflating three different concepts into one. Namely: sexual preference, gender identity, and gender presentation.

Yes, it’s not good for people who get tragically shot or run over, just like every other city on the planet. What are you even saying?

THIS!
Growing up, the older brothers on my street concocted a “sports league” wherein one of the younger brothers was given a football helmet and shoulder pads, placed inside a cardboard box filled with pillows, then pushed down the stairs leading to the basement. Living in the Midwest, we all had basements, so that…

I appreciate his tribute to Kaitlyn Dever, who to me stole the finale of Justified & all of their scenes despite having hardly any dialogue, while he had too much

That whole “speaking as a man, it’s kind of scary” response to the #MeToo movement should have been a huge red flag.

And this is why guys who get all squirmy and scared whenever the topic of #MeToo comes up should always be suspect.

aren’t ALL right-leaning male “personalities” incels at heart? I can’t think of one where I thought, that guy seems to really respect women.

It’s not puritanical to think that comparing the attractiveness of two women is stupid misogyny. You seem to share Joss’ inability to understand the nuance of gender politics. “Sex positive” does not equal “hot or not” rankings.

Okay, can we NOT with the fucking Maxim Hot 100 talk? It's irritating and adds nothing to the conversation. Nobody cares about your boner.

Are we really pretending we don’t know that the vast majority of Hollywood would gladly eat a live baby for the chance to headline a prestige project

This comes back to a thing that I’ve been saying ever since these allegations broke; Joss Whedon is petty. He thinks he’s right about everything and everyone else is wrong, and he holds the deepest fucking grudge if someone deigns to challenge that in any way. And worst of all, he lords his power over those who don’t…

people make fun of the ‘grunge’ era, but it was so refreshing to see rock dudes sincerely giving a crap about women. i didn’t appreciate it too much then, but gosh, i really do now.

Eh it kind of is when it comes to sex and sex work as it’s one of the few mainstream social media platforms that still (kind of) tolerates it and thus allows conversations and communication to actually spread and flourish.
