It’s already been explained to you, several times, by multiple people with actual lived experience in this exact field.

it seems pretty obvious to me that most celebrities would go out of their way to ensure these things are handled with some level of discretion.

I’m a lawyer.

People are acting like it was no big deal because, as you yourself said elsewhere in response to me, process servers serve papers in public all the time. The only unique aspect of this event is the weird parasocial relationship some people have with one or both of the parties involved, but as far as divorce…

Accepting that this was a humiliating thing to have happened, the responsible party here would have been the process server. Her ex had nothing to do with the method in which the papers were served, and serving legal papers through a third party during a divorce is a perfectly reasonable and common part of the process.

To be fair to Spielberg on that, even Gary Oldman calls Gary Oldman an asshole.

I love John C Riley but don’t want to give holmes and watson get a b- just cause I love john c riley

This is how casting works, though. Some actors just have a certain “something” that makes them a good anchor for a project (in Bayer’s case it’s her ability to combine broad concepts with unexpected details and poignancy in her performance that makes her well-suited to a sitcom lead), and since this show is built…

what if every episode of the wire reviewed started off with “David simon, great guy really should be allowed to do whatever he wants in a show.”

oh well okay then

Nobody condemning DeSantis for this is doing so because they think Disney are a bunch of angels.

If they’re not renewing your shows, the reason is you’re in the minority interest.

Then compare it to Empire Strikes Back or the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Ending on a downer has never been as much of a risk if the audience is aware they’re watching a serialized story. These things would have been risks in Iron Man, but they weren’t risks in movie 19 when movies 22-26 had already been announced.

Because it’s a trinket intended to be used once and then discarded.

Also it’s hard to take a villain seriously when he spends the movie running for the title of “Supreme Mugwump.”

It’s absolutely ugly as hell, but given the movie’s general vibe I think it enhances the mood rather than detracting from it. All the smearing colors and plastic skin fit right in with everything else the movie’s doing, especially in the final third.

This does sound like an extremely minor incident, to be honest.

There is a culture in comedy that people working regular jobs cannot fathom.

This is true, but stand-up comedy is unique in that it requires you to buy into the comedian’s personality and thought processes significantly more than with a musician or a painter. It’s much harder to separate the artist from the art when so much of the art is the artist.

People who are powerful within an industry and cruise their up-and-coming colleagues for sex are generally considered gross creeps at best in any industry, and that’s a far cry from “asking someone out.”
